He felt silly.
Ridiculous.
Stupid was more accurate, actually. She, of course, was enjoying herself. As she had a tendency to do whenever he was making a fool of himself. Worse still, they had an audience.
“Ah, c’mon, Bruce, you’re not even trying!” Selina accused, but it was the laughter in her voice that irritated him most.
“I am,” he said, defending himself. He was, really. But dammit, nothing, was responding to him like it was supposed to.
She inched closer to him and for the brief time she guided his hands, he was doing all right.
“Look,” she said, “It’s not that difficult. I’m sure you’re boys do this from time to time. You should watch them once in a while.”
He heard muffled laughter from behind where Dick was sitting.
"That sounded so wrong," Dick laughed.
When Bruce turned to glare at him, the laughter stopped and Dick cleared his throat.
Tim, sitting on the other side Selina, managed to keep a straight face through it all.
Then, for the third time since they began this nonsense, Bruce watched himself die on screen again.
“Enough,” he growled and stood. He tossed the controller on the couch. Selina rolled her eyes, but let him walk away.
Dick was quick to jump to the empty spot and barely beat Tim to the controller.
Jason, who was leaning against the doorway, smiled.
“Sure you want to do that?” he asked Bruce.
Bruce didn’t reply and simply walked past him out of the game room.
“Fine!” Jason yelled after him, “But we’re not letting you play Arkham Asylum until you get the hang of Lego Batman first!”
