Warning: None

Today had been a very stressful day for you. You had overslept, missed the bus, failed multiple tests, and your parents were being dicks. Nothing new. But now it was midnight, and you couldn't go to sleep. You tossed and turned in your bed, trying to get comfortable. After a while, you give up on sleep. You got up from your bed and walked towards your bedroom window and opened it, letting the cool city air in the room. You looked out into the city, admiring how the moon and stars shined brightly in the dark sky.

You stepped back from the window and looked around your room until your eyes fell onto an electric piano hiding in the corner of your room. The piano sat there looking new and unused. You got the piano for your twelfth birthday, but with school taking up the majority of your time, you never had time to practice. You made sure your parents were asleep before tiptoeing towards the piano and playing some keys. After making sure the piano was tuned, you sat down in a chair and began to play "Writing's On The Wall" by Sam Smith.

Your fingers gracefully danced against the keyboard. The music from the piano mixed perfectly with the sounds of the city. It was relaxing. You forgot about everything bad that happened during the day and let the music take to another dimension. Halfway through the song, you began to hear whispering behind you. You stopped playing and turned around to see 5 vigilantes sitting outside your window. 

The six of you sat there in silence, staring at each other. "Can I help you?" you asked the vigilantes.

"Um, that... That was... really good," Nightwing stuttered as his siblings nodded in agreement.

You looked at the vigilantes then at your piano. "If you guys want I could play some more..."

"Do you by chance have a violin nearby?" Robin interrupted. 

You put your elbows on your knees and leaned towards the window. You tried to remember what your parents did to your older siblings violin after they moved. You walked towards your closet door and opened it. You looked into the tight closet until you found what you were looking for. A black violin case. You took the case out of the closet and put it on your bed. Robin then entered your room and walked towards your bed. You opened the case and showed Robin the violin.

The violin was exactly how your sibling left it. Robin took the wooden instrument out of its case and made sure everything was in its place before taking the bow and letting it slide against the strings. The other four vigilantes took this as an invitation to enter your room. Not that you were going to stop them anyway.

You walked back to your piano and sat down. Robin walked towards you and stood behind you as the other vigilantes took a seat somewhere in your room.

"What should we play?" You asked the vigilantes.

"OH, how about All of Me by John Legend?" Nightwing suggested as Red Hood browsed through your books.

You looked at Robin and asked, "Do you know the song?"

"Tt, of course, I do," he said bringing the violin up to his chin. You turned back towards the piano and began to play. The music seemed to calm the vigilantes so much that they eventually fell asleep. Orphan and Red Robin were on top of Red Hood and Robin fell asleep on Nightwing.You fell asleep on the piano. 

----------

A couple hours later, a dark figure approached the window. He peered into the room and saw all five of the missing vigilantes sleeping peacefully. For once. He then noticed you sleeping uncomfortably on the piano's keyboard. He entered the room and moved you to your bed before checking on his children. After making sure everyone was alright he left.

----------

You woke up to weird sight. Robin was hugging Red Hood and Nightwing, while Orphan and Red Robin were holding each other. You grabbed your phone from your nightstand and took a picture, just in case you needed to blackmail them. You got up and stretched as you checked the time. It was exactly 7 am. Your parents must've left for work already so you got off the bed and walked to your door making sure you didn't wake up any of the vigilantes. Once you made it the door you made your way downstairs to get some food.

When you entered your room you saw Orphan and Red Robin were already up. You awkwardly greeted them and handed them a granola bar. 

"Thanks," Red Robin muttered as he rubbed the back of his neck. "How long have we been asleep?"

"Um, about 6 to 7 hours," you said taking a bite out of your granola bar.

Red Robin looked at you then at his brothers, who were still tangled together. "Hey, uh, thanks for not freaking out last night..."

"No problemo Double R, besides it was nice having company."

Red Robin chuckled at the nickname you gave him before he slightly kicked Red Hood in the leg causing him to stir.

"Should we wake them up?" Orphan asked.

Red Robin looked at Orphan then at you, "You should probably scoot back."

"Why?" You asked confused.

"They are not morning people," was all he needed to say for you to go back to the safety of your bed. Once you were far enough, Double R and Orphan shook their brothers.

"Fuck off," Red Hood slurred.

"Well that didn't work," you said getting off the bed once again.

"Huh, anyone have any ideas?" Red Robin asked.

Orphan nodded her head no before you sighed and walked to the piano. You turned it on and flipped it so it was facing the vigilantes. You motioned for Red Robin and Orphan to cover their ears as you slammed your hands onto the keyboard. "WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY." 

With that, the three sleeping boys jumped up and got out their weapons ready to attack.

"Good morning sleeping beauty's," you said moving the piano back in its place.

They looked at you confused before they remembered what they were doing there. They looked at you sheepishly before they started to freak out.

"We need to go, NOW!" Robin exclaimed before running towards the window. The rest of the vigilantes followed, but Red Hood stayed behind for a bit.

He grabbed a book and looked at you, "Do you mind if I borrow this?"

"No, just bringing it back how it is please."

"Deal. Also, if you need anything give us a call," he said climbing out the window.

"How am I supposed to call you?!?" you said running towards the window.

Red Hood turned towards you and gave a piece of paper with a phone number on it. You took it and read it. When you looked back up he was gone. You got your phone out and put the number in. You looked at the picture you took of the sleeping vigilantes before laughing a bit. 

----------

Now, whenever one of them had any problems or needed a place to crash for the night they would go to your place. Not that you didn't mind, but it was very awkward explaining to your parents why one or two of Gotham's heroes were sleeping in your room.
