Bruce Wayne: *thinking* Having two women fight over you isn’t as hot as the pornos make it seem…
Narrator: …and a Robin in Gotham City.
Stephanie Brown: *sighs, puts hands on hips* Maybe we could share? Half of Tim is better than a whole one of any other guy.

Maxwell Lord IV: *blinks* *goes back over the wording of the verse* Uh, Ronnie, isn’t someone supposed to fall in love with you?

L-Ron: Excellent!
Narrator: …four Green Lanterns…
Guy Gardner: Icey! *hugs him*

Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Donna Troy: *mopes*

Tim Drake: *sighs* Why don’t they just ask me to choose?
Backstage
Director: Yeah, why don’t they? *waves just-opened bottle of rum around*

Indy: Oh, Shift…

Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Dick Grayson: o.O You locked yourself in the closet to figure out our little cluster fuck?

Dick Grayson: And?
Roy Harper: *smirks* She cracked first.
Barbara Gordon: *growls, elbows him* We’ve decided. I’ll get you Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Roy will get you Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Roy Harper: That day you get to rest, vato. You’re gonna need it. *grins*
Dick Grayson: *gulp*
Narrator: …two broody Bats…
Cassandra Cain: *frowns* I don’t want to share you with Dick.
Roy Harper: You won’t have to, doll; that’s a different version of me they’re fighting over. *wraps arm around waist*

The Creeper: *wraps Harley in bear-hug* I shall love her and squeeze her and give her lots of pretty stolen gifts!
Harley Quinn: *giggles, then puts on a mock-serious expression* I like dark chocolates and I prefer satin over lace. No flowers or Pammy might get jealous.

Narrator: …four Green Lanterns…
G’Nort: Am I the fourth?
Aresia: No, I am! *shoves him out of the scene*
Oliver Queen: Hal’s already taken, sweetheart.
Aresia: *pouts*
Oliver Queen: *sighs in commiseration* Yeah, I know; the Writer must really have it in for me.
Aresia: Oh?
Oliver Queen: Mm-hm. First my Pretty Bird gets sent off to fight over Bats with Catwoman, and then she hooks Hal up with his ex.
Aresia: Well…it is Valentine’s Day…and no one should be alone on Valentine’s Day…
Oliver Queen: *is a master manipulator* Definitely no one as pretty as you. *chucks her under the chin*
Aresia: *giggles fetchingly*
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Roy Harper: So, are you going to move to Star City, or am I going to move to Gotham?

Roy Harper: Point. Plus, Lian likes him.
Barbara Gordon: *perks up* Ooooh, does this mean I’m a stepmom-in-law?
Roy Harper: *shrugs* Don’t ask me; I have no clue what normal family relationships are like.

Tim Drake: Err…
Kon-El: Not that I think she needs one, but what do I have to do to get you to choose me? Dress in drag and do the hula?
Stephanie Brown: *giggles* You’d take seduction advice from a Disney movie instead of a porno?

John Stewart: You were the one who wanted to see this movie! *eyes trenchcoat, frowns* It’s on Pay-Per-View; you don’t have to disguise yourself.
Shayera Hol: *starts unbuttoning trenchcoat as she walks forward, causing him to walk backward into his room* Actually, I was thinking we could just call it an early night… *door closes behind her as the coat falls to floor, revealing feathers and not much else*
John Stewart: *nods dumbly* Sounds good.

Narrator: …eight cybernetic beings…
Maxwell Lord IV: Now that you’re safe from Gardner, are you going to leave me alone?
L-Ron: There’s still G’Nort to consider, your most efficacious rude one.
Maxwell Lord IV: You don’t honestly think the Writer would pair him with anyone…do you? *grimaces*
L-Ron: No, but I don’t trust the Director not to have rewritten the script while under the influence of the various alcoholic beverages he has been imbibing, your most sobering studly self.
Maxwell Lord IV: *blinks* Er…okay.
Backstage
Director: *hearing his name, perks up* Hey, ishn’t dey supposhed to be in the fifth verse?

Hal Jordan: *ring flashes, and they rise into the sky* I wasn’t referring to a plane, Carol…
Carol Ferris: *eyes wide* Oh…wow.
Hal Jordan: Much safer than a plane, even one flown by yours truly. *grins* And the Mile High Club is a whole lot easier to join…
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Poseidonis

Brainiac 5: Mmm? *types rapidly on computer*
Lyle Norg: How do Coluans conduct courting rituals?
Brainiac 5: *absently, most attention focused on his calculations* The direct approach is appreciated by most of my brethren. The Sleepnet actually has quite a large personals section.
Lyle Norg: But, oh, say…someone coming up to someone else and saying, “I like you, would you go out with me?” is perfectly acceptable without any preliminaries.
Brainiac 5: Yes, quite. *peers at screen* What? *goes back over their conversation* Lyle, what did you… *turns around*

Sharon Hawkins: *melts* Oh, that’s so sweet… *steels herself* But I just can’t do anything with my hair. Hang on just a minute.

Beatriz DaCosta: *blushes* It was certainly…lively.
Tora Olafsdotter: *grins* See? *pokes bared breast* I told you that if you just gave Guy a chance, you’d like him. Guy’s a sweetheart, really.
Beatriz DaCosta: It’s not his heart I’m thinking of…*leers* And you’re right, I do like him; as long as his mouth is occupied so he can’t talk.
Tora Olafsdotter: *blushes, grins*
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Titans Tower
Donna Troy: Are you - oh! - sure this is a good idea?
Raven Roth: Yeah, Star, I’m not so - ooooh! - sure about this.
Starfire: *smiles, continues pleasuring her friends* We have been consuming ice cream all evening, not alcohol. Also, we are friends, are we not?

Raven Roth: S-s-s-several of them! *arches up* Ooooooh…
Narrator: …two broody Bats…
Selina Kyle: Have you decided yet, Bats?
Dinah Lance: *taps foot* Yes, have you?
Bruce Wayne: *fits final part into dimensional portal and presses the start button* *out pops another Batman* Here, you can have him. *shoves the other Batman towards Catwoman* He’s from the animated continuity, and Black Canary is already with Green Arrow there.
Dinah Lance: *eyes light up* So this means…
Bruce Wayne: *smiles* Yes.
Selina Kyle: *eyes her Bat; notices the aura of brooding is much less* Hmmm… *catty smirk* Methinks kitty got the best prize - and it isn’t the canary.
Narrator: …and a Robin in Gotham City.
Raven Roth: Are you sure about this?
Tim Drake: Yes. *worriedly* Will it work?

Blue Beetle: *eyes him* The entire Halloween episode was about us.

Blue Beetle: She did here. I mean, if our grandkids exist *points up two verses at Bubbles and Danny* then so do we.
Booster Gold: *growls* Tell that to Kid Flash!
Blue Beetle: *frowns* Point. *mutters* I hate it when he’s right…
Booster Gold: And we aren’t even metas!
Narrator: *mumbles* Shut up and be happy the Writer didn’t forget you!

Emma Frost: *smiles* Mmm, I do like white chocolate…and you.
Scott Summers: *smiles back*
Narrator: …nine aliens…
Xavin: *thoughtfully* Which of us is the alien in this situation?
Karolina Dean: Hmmm… I suppose we both are.

Karolina Dean: *melts, aura flaring in happiness* Go right ahead, honey.
Narrator: …eight cybernetic beings…
Maxwell Lord IV: It’s the last verse, Ronnie, surely you can stop this farce now?
L-Ron: *sighs metallically* This is not a farce, o oblivious one. *proffers bouquet of origami orchids*
Maxwell Lord IV: Huh? *sniffs appreciatively of the perfumed paper*
L-Ron: For some reason, unknown even to me and most probably all the Gods on high…I. Like. You.
Maxwell Lord IV: *boggles* Oh…
Narrator: …seven speedsters…
Koko: Koko! *wraps tail around neck*
XS: *smiles sadly* Yeah, you love me, don’t you? *door-comm beeps* Who could that be? *door swishes open to reveal…a box?

Chameleon: Play matchmaker? *wavers* Well…Val has expressed some interest…
Narrator: …five golden beings…
Maxwell Lord IV: After having given this considerable thought…okay.
L-Ron: *hopeful look* Okay?
Maxwell Lord IV: We can date. But this doesn’t mean you’re getting a raise!
L-Ron: *sighs long-sufferingly* I’m not getting paid to begin with, your tightwaddedness.
Maxwell Lord IV: *blinks* Oh. Right.
Narrator: …four Green Lanterns…
Oa
Kilowog: Bwuh?
Hal Jordan: Tell me you’re joking.
Guy Gardner: *smirks smugly* Nope; I got them both into bed!
Kilowog: How in the world did you manage that?
Guy Gardner: Well, Tora really likes Bea; it wasn’t that hard. *leers* I was, though. All. Night. Long.
Hal Jordan: *facepalms* I soooo did not need to hear that.
On Stage
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Dick Grayson: *ponders as he watches triplicated reflection in mirror on the ceiling* Why am I getting this sinking feeling of déjà vu?
Roy Harper: Because we haven’t worn you out enough, short pants? Or maybe we just need to try someone different… *digs in his quiver*
Dick Grayson: Er…
Barbara Gordon: *leers at them both* I’m with Speedy here, FBW. Accessories can be…fun. *presses a button by the bed; the bed begins to vibrate*
Dick Grayson: *melts* Oh.

Bruce Wayne: *tugs sheet up over them both* So, my dear…are you pleased?

Kon-El: What’s that?
Raven Roth: Billy Numerous’ belt.
Stephanie Brown: *looks puzzled* Who’s he?
Raven: A villain from the animated continuity. My world.
Steph & Kon: And?
Raven: Tim asked me to help him - and you two - with your…problem. *holds out belt* You know what to do.
Tim Drake: *takes the offered belt; puts it on* Yup. *braces himself*
Raven: Ready?
Tim Drake: *nods*
Raven: Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos! *sends black energy towards belt*
Steph & Kon: Whoa.
When the magic faded, there were two Tims.
The Tim standing next to Steph was shorter, thinner, wore black ninja tabi boots, and had spiky black hair. The Tim standing next to Kon was taller, broader, wore green steel-toed boots, and didn’t use nearly as much product on his hair.
Tim One: Were you serious about that threesome with Cass?
Stephanie Brown: Definitely, Boyfriend Wonder. *grins* She’s hot.
Tim One: *grins back* Cool.
Tim Two: I don’t, actually, like Cassie like that.
Kon-El: *breathes sigh of relief* Great, man, ‘cause I don’t think she’d go for it anyway. *and also, the not wanting to share thing*
Tim Two: *evil smirk* Bart might, though.
Kon-El: O.o *thinks about Bart and sex* *thinks about sex with Bart - who vibrates* Whoa… *maybe a little sharing would be okay…*
Backstage
Director: *buried under a mound of empty alcohol bottles* Izzit over yet?
Narrator: Yes, it’s over. *eyes him* And you’re going to get alcohol poisoning. *sighs and dials 911* Where’s a superhero when you need one?
Elizabeth Swan: Having sex, apparently. *steals a half-full bottle of rum* Mind if I borrow this?
Narrator: *eyes her disarrayed petticoats and man’s shirt, which are failing to cover up the dozens of hickies on her body* Uh…no. *blinks* I take it you and Jack worked things out with Will?
Elizabeth Swan: *grins like a Cheshire Cat* You could say that… Thanks for the rum! *walks off*
Narrator: Anytime. Everyone gets laid but me. *eyes her snoozing boss* Then again, if he’s my only option… *shudders*
THE END

You can’t seriously expect more, can you?

Narrator: …and a Robin in Gotham City.

Narrator: With three former sidekicks…
Nightwing: *climbs in Clocktower window* Hi, Babs!
Barbara Gordon: Hi, honey. *smooch*
Roy Harper: Hey, short pants, how’s it going? *smooches Nightwing*
Barbara Gordon: *glares*
Nightwing: *dumbfounded* Uh…I thought you were with Cass?
Roy Harper: *shrugs* Writer couldn’t decide, so I’m doing double duty.
Nightwing: *frowns* How?
Roy Harper: That’s Lisaverse Roy. You get the canon version.
Narrator: …two broody Bats…
Cassandra Cain: Hi, Speedy.
Roy Harper: *grins* Hey, Bat-Babe.

Bruce Wayne: *thinking* Having two women fight over you isn’t as hot as the pornos make it seem…
Narrator: …and a Robin in Gotham City.
Stephanie Brown: *sighs, puts hands on hips* Maybe we could share? Half of Tim is better than a whole one of any other guy.
Kon-El: *grimaces* I agree with the last half, but no way on the first. I don’t want to share anything as important as Tim.

Maxwell Lord IV: *blinks* *goes back over the wording of the verse* Uh, Ronnie, isn’t someone supposed to fall in love with you?

Maxwell Lord IV: Ah. Okay.
L-Ron: Excellent!
Narrator: …four Green Lanterns…
Guy Gardner: Icey! *hugs him*

Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Donna Troy: *mopes*
Lian Harper: Auntie Donna, are you okay?
Donna Troy: *musters a smile* Sure, sweetie, just…feeling kinda low.

Tim Drake: *sighs* Why don’t they just ask me to choose?
Backstage
Director: Yeah, why don’t they? *waves just-opened bottle of rum around*
Will Turner: Probably because he can’t decide. *sighs, takes a gulp of his own bottle of rum, makes a face* *thinks of Jack and Elizabeth* I know I can’t…

Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Dick Grayson: o.O You locked yourself in the closet to figure out our little cluster fuck?
Barbara Gordon: *shrugs* I figured either the need for food or the bathroom would eventually make him crack.
Dick Grayson: And?
Roy Harper: *smirks* She cracked first.
Barbara Gordon: *growls, elbows him* We’ve decided. I’ll get you Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Roy will get you Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Dick Grayson: *mind whirling* What about Sunday?
Roy Harper: That day you get to rest, vato. You’re gonna need it. *grins*
Dick Grayson: *gulp*
Narrator: …two broody Bats…
Cassandra Cain: *frowns* I don’t want to share you with Dick.
Roy Harper: You won’t have to, doll; that’s a different version of me they’re fighting over. *wraps arm around waist*
Cassandra Cain: Still…it’s weird.
Roy Harper: *gives one-shouldered shrug* What isn’t, when it comes to us?
Cassandra Cain: Point.
Narrator: …and a Robin in Gotham City.
Tim Drake: I need a drink.

The Joker: *frowns* Who’d be crazy enough to love that nut?
Harley Quinn: *after the Joker has left* I would! He treats me a lot nicer than Mistah J.
The Creeper: *wraps Harley in bear-hug* I shall love her and squeeze her and give her lots of pretty stolen gifts!
Harley Quinn: *giggles, then puts on a mock-serious expression* I like dark chocolates and I prefer satin over lace. No flowers or Pammy might get jealous.

Narrator: …four Green Lanterns…
G’Nort: Am I the fourth?

Oliver Queen: Hal’s already taken, sweetheart.
Aresia: *pouts*
Oliver Queen: *sighs in commiseration* Yeah, I know; the Writer must really have it in for me.
Aresia: Oh?
Oliver Queen: Mm-hm. First my Pretty Bird gets sent off to fight over Bats with Catwoman, and then she hooks Hal up with his ex.
Aresia: Well…it is Valentine’s Day…and no one should be alone on Valentine’s Day…
Oliver Queen: *is a master manipulator* Definitely no one as pretty as you. *chucks her under the chin*
Aresia: *giggles fetchingly*
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Roy Harper: So, are you going to move to Star City, or am I going to move to Gotham?
Barbara Gordon: I think we should both move to Metropolis; Superman’s a lot less…intrusive.
Roy Harper: Point. Plus, Lian likes him.
Barbara Gordon: *perks up* Ooooh, does this mean I’m a stepmom-in-law?
Roy Harper: *shrugs* Don’t ask me; I have no clue what normal family relationships are like.
Narrator: …two broody Bats…

Roy Harper: *melts* Cool.

Stephanie Brown: What do I have to do to make you choose me, Tim? Get a boob job?
Tim Drake: Err…
Kon-El: Not that I think she needs one, but what do I have to do to get you to choose me? Dress in drag and do the hula?
Stephanie Brown: *giggles* You’d take seduction advice from a Disney movie instead of a porno?

Maxwell Lord IV: Now that you’re safe from Gardner, are you going to leave me alone?
L-Ron: There’s still G’Nort to consider, your most efficacious rude one.
Maxwell Lord IV: You don’t honestly think the Writer would pair him with anyone…do you? *grimaces*

Brainiac 5: Mmm? *types rapidly on computer*
Lyle Norg: How do Coluans conduct courting rituals?
Brainiac 5: *absently, most attention focused on his calculations* The direct approach is appreciated by most of my brethren. The Sleepnet actually has quite a large personals section.
Lyle Norg: But, oh, say…someone coming up to someone else and saying, “I like you, would you go out with me?” is perfectly acceptable without any preliminaries.

Tora Olafsdotter: *blushes, grins*
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…

Raven Roth: S-s-s-several of them! *arches up* Ooooooh…
Narrator: …two broody Bats…
Selina Kyle: Have you decided yet, Bats?
Dinah Lance: *taps foot* Yes, have you?

Blue Beetle: *frowns* Point. *mutters* I hate it when he’s right…
Booster Gold: And we aren’t even metas!

On Stage
Narrator: …three former sidekicks…
Dick Grayson: *ponders as he watches triplicated reflection in mirror on the ceiling* Why am I getting this sinking feeling of déjà vu?
Roy Harper: Because we haven’t worn you out enough, short pants? Or maybe we just need to try someone different… *digs in his quiver*
Dick Grayson: Er…
Barbara Gordon: *leers at them both* I’m with Speedy here, FBW. Accessories can be…fun. *presses a button by the bed; the bed begins to vibrate*

Tim Drake: *takes the offered belt; puts it on* Yup. *braces himself*
Raven: Ready?
Tim Drake: *nods*
Raven: Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos! *sends black energy towards belt*
Steph & Kon: Whoa.
When the magic faded, there were two Tims.
The Tim standing next to Steph was shorter, thinner, wore black ninja tabi boots, and had spiky black hair. The Tim standing next to Kon was taller, broader, wore green steel-toed boots, and didn’t use nearly as much product on his hair.
Tim One: Were you serious about that threesome with Cass?
Stephanie Brown: Definitely, Boyfriend Wonder. *grins* She’s hot.
Tim One: *grins back* Cool.
Tim Two: I don’t, actually, like Cassie like that.
Kon-El: *breathes sigh of relief* Great, man, ‘cause I don’t think she’d go for it anyway. *and also, the not wanting to share thing*
Tim Two: *evil smirk* Bart might, though.
Kon-El: O.o *thinks about Bart and sex* *thinks about sex with Bart - who vibrates* Whoa… *maybe a little sharing would be okay…*
Backstage
Director: *buried under a mound of empty alcohol bottles* Izzit over yet?

Elizabeth Swan: Having sex, apparently. *steals a half-full bottle of rum* Mind if I borrow this?
Narrator: *eyes her disarrayed petticoats and man’s shirt, which are failing to cover up the dozens of hickies on her body* Uh…no. *blinks* I take it you and Jack worked things out with Will?
Elizabeth Swan: *grins like a Cheshire Cat* You could say that… Thanks for the rum! *walks off*
Narrator: Anytime. Everyone gets laid but me. *eyes her snoozing boss* Then again, if he’s my only option… *shudders*
