{New Big Brother}
(Lily's 3 years old)
A lot can can happen in a few years, Dick stopped being the boy wonder and now goes by Nightwing, not that Lily was complaining, he looked awesome.
(💘💘💘)
But now there was no Robin, but knowing batman, it wasn't gonna stay that way, long story short Lily got another big brother, his name was Jason, Lily... absolutely adored her and vice versa. But he was still Jason and with him as a big brother... let's just say things got a lot more interesting.
Those two were partners in crime, mischief was the name of the game.
He taught Lily how to steel cookies from the jar without anyone noticing and pulled all kinds of crazy pranks, like replacing Batman's smoke bombs with pink glitter bombs, Bruce was so mad, they both laughed their heads off.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Even after every night of patrol, Jason never failed to read Lily a bedtime story before she went to sleep, Wally did the same whenever she'd stayed over at mount justice, he did really good voices for the characters, as did Alfred, but she loved Jason's story telling the most.
They'd snuggle under Jason's red blanket and he'd read either Peter Rabbit, Wind in the Willows or The Gruffalo. They weren't exactly Jason's kind of stories but they were Lily's favourites so he didn't mind.
Every time, she'd drop off in his arms and he'd carry and tuck her into bed before leaving quietly to join Batman.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Bruce was sound asleep in his bed, until he was woken up abruptly by someone bouncing on it, he lifted his head and it was exactly who he thought it was.
"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up it's Christmas!" She squealed excitedly.
"Lily, sweetie, it's way too get up yet." Bruce said as he rubbed his eyes.
"But... but... it's Christmas..." Lily said, a little sadly.
"I know honey, just wait a little longer and then we'll open presents, you don't see Dick or Jason up and about yet do you?" Lily sighed.
"Okay..." She got down from the bed and left the room.
Bruce laid back down and got comfy again, he might as well get whatever sleep he could left, the next time Lily came in she'd be running on the walls all hyper and there'd be no stopping her at that point.
He got maybe a couple minutes of peace, before he felt a much more intense bouncing on his bed he looked up and groaned seeing Lily, Dick and Jason grinning widely at him.
"5 minutes, that's a new record." He commented.
Knowing it was useless to refuse, he got up. Lily raced down stares, she could've been mistaken for one of the speedsters, she saw that the cookies and carrots they'd left out had been chomped on.
She squealed.
"He came! He came!"
They all came around the tree and started tearing open their presents.
"Here you go squirt." Jason gave Lily the present he got her.
Lily immediately ripped it open and gasped happily at the gift, it was an adorable little stuffed cow.
"I love it! I love it! I love it!" She gave the stuffed animal a tight squeeze and it gave of the weirdest sound.
"Did that cow just oink?" Dick asked.
"The factory must've made a mistake." Bruce guessed. Jason now felt bad for getting her a botched toy.
"Dammit, sorry Lily I didn't—"
"Are you kidding me? I've got a cow that oinks, how cool is that?!" She threw herself at Jason and wrapped him in tight.
"Thank you Jay-Jay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You're welcome sis." Jason gladly returned the hug.
Later on in the day, they all went to a Christmas party, all the league and the team were there, they had a Secret Santa thing planned and Flash and Lily got each other.
A few days before, Lily baked and brought in cookies for everyone, but before anyone could even have one, Flash scoffed them all down in... well, a flash.
Lily got annoyed and called him greedy piggy and she decided to get him back.
Flash opened the present she got him, I was a little stuffed pig.
"You're a greedy piggy, you're a greedy piggy." Lily teased, everyone erupted into laughter, excluding Flash.
Flash gave Lily her present, her jaw dropped, it was a humongous purple panda with a heart on its belly, seriously this thing was massive, you could take a nap on it.
Lily squealed and tightly hugged Flash.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you Uncle Barry!"
"No problem princess." He smiled happily.
"Show off..." Hal murmured.
"Best Christmas EVER!!" Lily beamed trying to wrap her arms around the huge panda.
{Sick days}
Like any person, Bruce, Dick and Jason got sick, and every time Lily would keep them company so they wouldn't be lonely, they'd watch movies and play little notepad games like hang-man or tick, tack, toe.
But sometimes, they'd drop of in the middle of their game. So then Lily would decide it was her nap time as well, cuddle right next to them and doze off herself.
{Favourites}
(At home)
"The Gruffalo's gonna get me!" Lily called out.
"Another nightmare." Bruce sighed. "Daddy's coming!"
"No, I want Jay-Jay!" Bruce stopped.
"Since when are you the favourite?" Dick asked incredulously.
Jason shrugged and got up.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"There's a crocodile under my bed!" Lily cried out.
"I'm coming sis." Nightwing responded.
"No I want Conner!"
"What?! No fair, why does she want you?" Wally complained.
"'Cause who else is strong enough to beat up a crocodile." Conner joked, Wally crossed her arms in annoyance.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Who are you gonna be for halloween honey?" Superman asked Lily as she rummaged through her costume box.
"I'm going as the coolest superhero ever." She replied.
"Oh really, and who is this cool hero?" Superman asked curiously, Batman gained a confident smile, obviously it was gonna be him.
"Uncle Plas." Her made them all pause.
"What?!" Batman, Superman and Plastic Man said in unison, the latter more in out of surprise than the others.
"Ah, got it!" Lily found the costume she was looking for and went to change.
When she came back, she looked like a little copy of Plastic Man himself.
"Ta-da!" She said, posing heroically.
Plastic Man sniffled and wiped a tear of happiness from his eye, Lily thought he was the coolest hero ever.
"Don't cry old man... don't cry..." he said to himself, his voice breaking.
He stretched his arms out to her in a tight hug.
"I've got a mini me!" He beamed. "Beware evil doers, you're dealing with the long arms of the law!" He said in a dramatic hero voice, making Lily giggle.
Superman huffed and Batman's scowl deepened in annoyance, he couldn't believe it, his own little.
"I'm hungry... FOR CRIME!! (And candy)" Lily exclaimed.
Dang it, they couldn't stay mad at her, she was just too adorable.
"Well what are we waiting for? Those candy bags aren't gonna fill themselves." Plas used his powers to strap Lily to himself and prepared to catapult out of the building.
"Into the night!" He let go and they both went flying.
"She's gonna have a tummy ache in the morning." Batman sighed.
{Beach Day}
"Beach day! Beach day! Beach day!" Lily cheered as her and the team finally arrived.
"Last one in the water's a rotten crab!" Wally scooped up Lily and raced into the water.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
M'gann found a couple of Starfish in the rock pools.
"They feel funny." Lily giggled as she stroked them.
"Starfish always feel that way." Said M'gann.
"They're actually called Sea Stars, not Starfish." Lily corrected.
"Look at you miss smarty pants." M'gann teased, Lily smiled.
"Did you know they don't actually have brains or blood?" M'gann asked.
"Really?"
"Yeah, they can also spit out their stomachs and digest their food outside their bodies." Lily stared blankly.
"Too gross?" Lily only nodded as a response.
"Hot dogs are ready!" They heard Dick call to them. "Lily, you want one?"
"No thank you, I'm not hungry." She replied.
She looked back to M'gann and they both started laughing.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Beside playing in the water and collecting sea shells, playing in the sand was Lily's favourite beach activity, Conner managed fall asleep while sunbathing, so Lily and Wally thought I'd be fun to bury him in sand all the way up to his neck.
Lily tried to hold back her laughing but she couldn't help it, Conner jolted up, he so annoyed, Lily pointed at Wally and Conner started chasing him, now Lily was really on the floor laughing.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You can't go to the beach and not have ice cream, it's like an unspoken rule of a beach day.
So, they all were all enjoying ice cream, Kaldur accidentally licked his to hard and it fell of the cone, he frowned faintly.
"Do you want share mine Kaldur?" Lily offered him her ice cream, Kaldur smiled.
"Thank you Lily, but I'm alright, you enjoy yours." Kaldur politely.
"Come on, strawberry's the best!" She beamed, Kaldur chuckled.
"I'll take your word for it." He politely declined again.
Lily "accidentally" booped his nose with her ice cream, he shook his head with a chuckle as he licked it off his nose, he had to say strawberry was actually pretty good, Lily gave him an "I told you so face."
M'gann and Artemis finished putting the finishing touches on their sand castle, they high-fived, it was perfect.
"Love to see Lily and Nightwing, top this-"
"Done!" The two girls turned to see the bat siblings castle, their jaws dropped.
"I give up." Artemis groaned, Dick and Lily high-fived.
Lily heard squawking nearby and saw a group of gulls trying to get to a baby sea turtle, stuck under a rock, it couldn't get to the ocean with the birds trying to eat it.
She quickly grabbed a giant leaf, shooed the birds away and held the leaf above the turtle so it wouldn't get too hot, it started waddling towards the sea, one of the gulls tried to peck it again.
"Shoo!" Lily swung her foot at it and it flew away, another came from behind and tried to do the same. "Get outta here!" She scared it off, she gently picked up the turtle and placed it in front of the water, it gladly jumped in and swam away.
"Bye-bye." She waved to it, she then noticed a beautiful shell in the water but it was kind of far out.
Kaldur noticed this and discretely used his power to make the water recede so she could get it, she did so and saw another shell, further out, Kaldur made the water go back further so she could get it.
This went on until she reached a tiny reef, it was so beautiful.
A fully grown sea turtle swam by, followed by the baby turtle she just helped, it gave a little wave with its flipper, she waved back with bubbly laugh.
The team watched this with warm smiles, M'gann rested her head on Conner's head.
{Brotherly moments}
Lily picked up many things from Dick, the weird words he made up, a few acrobat tricks and especially his taste in music, it's not that it was bad, it's just that the songs he listened to either got stuck in your head all day or were so cheesy that they were cringy.
"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy,
But here's my number, so call me maybe" Superman sang out loud.
"For the love of— Clark! I will end you, don't tempt me." Batman warned, fed up with that song.
Dick and Lily appeared from the ceiling, singing together.
"IT'S HARD TO LOOK RIGHT,
AT YOU BAAABY SO HERE'S-"
Batman covered their mouths, they both crossed their arms and scowled.
"You're no fun." Lily said, muffled.
(In the car)
"Come on sis, sing it!"
"I got the eye of tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire,
'Cause I am the champion and you're gonna hear me ROAR-AR-AR-AR-AAARR!" Lily sang.
"Go on sis!"
"YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME ROAR!"
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
So if you feel it, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause it's 0 to 60 in 3.5
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Lily and Dick sang together.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"You can DAAAANCE, you can SHIIIINE!!
HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIIIFE!!!"
"For the love of god, make it stop!!" Jason said, almost beggingly.
"Come on Jay-Jay, get whelmed."
"Yeah Dancing Queens is a masterpiece." Dick defended.
"You two spend way to much time together." He muttered. "Please can we something else? Literally anything else." Lily and Dick looked and each other and smiled.
"You heard the man sis." Lily nodded and changed the song, it went quiet as the next one loaded.
"Thank you..." Jason relaxed, just enjoying the brief silence.
"THIS SONG'S GONNA GET STUCK INSIDE YOUR
THIS SONG'S GONNA GET STUCK INSIDE YOUR
THIS SONG'S GONNA GET STUCK INSIDE YOUR HEEEEAAAAD."
Jason's eye twitched, he wanted to blow his brains out.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Long story short, Jason came down with the flu and became too sick to go out on patrol, so now he was stuck a home to rest on the living room sofa.
Alfred brought him some hot soup.
"Let's see on tv tonight shall we?" He said as he grabbed the remote.
"I'm not a baby Alfred, I can take care of myself." Jason snapped, followed by a coughing fit.
"Then I wish you would, Master Jason." Alfred remarked.
"Come Jay-Jay, it's not that bad, you've got me here and can't help people if you're not in tip top shape." Lily tried to console him.
Jason sighed, she wasn't wrong.
"She's right you know." They looked behind them and saw Bruce, Lily was just as surprised as Jason was.
"Daddy? What are you doing here? You never skip patrol."
"Taking night of every once in a while isn't the end of the world." Bruce replied "So, what are we watching?" He asked as he joined his kids on the couch.
"We were just about to choose a movie." Jason answered.
"Can we watch the lion king again?" Lily asked.
"No, we watched that yesterday."
"How about the greatest showman?" Bruce suggested, Lily beamed an nodded eagerly.
"Sounds good to me." Jason turned on the movie, Bruce grabbed a bowl of popcorn and Lily snuggle into her dad's side, Jason did the same on his other side, using his cape as a blanket.
By the end of the movie, both Lily and Jason fell asleep, Bruce looked at both of them sleeping peacefully and smiling warmly as the final scene played.
"It's everything you ever want... it's everything you ever need... and it's here right in front of you..."
