DCU Fanfic: Graverobbing
Title: Graverobbing
Fandom: DCU
Character(s): Booster, Ted, Jason (barely)
Pairing(s): N/A (pre-Boostle? I'll go with that)
Word Count: 485
Genre: general/humor
Rating: PG/K+
Notes: Written for merelyfic for my Insta-Meme. She gave me a Boostle icon, and I got Jason in there, still. I'm amazing like that (or my Jason!muse is persistent like that *cough*). Booster is on a mission from Rip after bringing Ted back. They go together, and both are rather squicked by the mission.
Link: N/A

"Why do I always to fix the Bats' problems?" Booster griped as walked towards a graveyard. "This is seriously one of the most messed up missions ever."
Ted gave a look as he hefted the shovel over his shoulder. "Yeah, how do you get me roped into these things again?"
Booster scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. "Uh, you volunteered since I saved you from Max?" he offered before stopping in front of a grave. "This is the one..."
"You know, if we don't leave right away, Batman's gonna hand us our asses, right?" Ted asked as he pushed the shovel into the ground. "Are you sure we should be doing this? I mean, what if-"
"Ted, he comes back six months after his death. That's right now. Rip said we just need to help the kid out, and get him to the hospital under his real name so Bats will find him," Booster explained, using his wrist blaster from his wrist.
"So subtle," Ted muttered as he started digging. "I still think this is a bad id-"
Before Ted could finish his sentence, a hand came up from where he was digging. "Holy-!" he exclaimed, dropping the shovel and jumping back.
Booster moved over to grab the hand, and help Jason out of his grave. Ted got up, looking skeptical as he moved to help the kid out as well.

A few hours later, they dropped Jason off at a Gotham hospital under the name Jason Peter Todd Wayne then took off back to the time machine. Once inside, Ted pulled back his goggles and cowl as collapsed into one of the seats, looking up at Booster. "Okay, that was ridiculous. I'm never going grave robbing again, not matter what you or Rip Hunter says," he said, clearly exhausted.
Booster collapsed into the chair next to him, just grinning. "Hey, I feel the same way," he told Ted, pulling down his goggled and pulling off his half-cowl.
Ted scrunched his nose. "Then why are you smiling?"
"Because, even though this was kind of a horrible job, Blue and Gold did it together," he said sincerely, looking over at Ted. "We can just say we pulled off something under Batman's nose, in Batman's city, right?"
Ted snorted. "No one'll believe us," he said with eye roll. "This wasn't some prank."
"Okay, so no one will believe us, but we'll know we did something good for Bats. We can think about that next time he yells at us for pranking him," Booster said easily, turning to controls. "Now let's get home, then we can prank Batman and not feel any guilt!"
Ted chuckled, very close to a 'Bwa-ha-ha.' "Since when have we ever felt guilty about that?"
Booster looked thoughtful for moment as he pressed the buttons to get them home. "You're right!" he exclaimed, and they just laughed together the whole way home.
