Summary: maybe getting the fans to design their latest film clip wasn’t such a great idea


Jason flicked through the piles of storyboards and notes spread out over the table. “Remind me why this was a good idea?”

Dick scanned through a series of stills pasted into a notebook. “Because the record company thought it would be a good to connect to the fans...” He reached a group of particularly pornographic images which he had to turn sideways to decipher.

“That and Dicky can’t say no to that hot PR guy.” Steph announced, leaning over Dick’s shoulder and snatching the book from his hand, carefully tearing out the page for later reference.

“Hey!” Dick scolded, “Someone put a lot of work into that!”

“So I can see.” Jason muttered, glancing at the sheet. “So we have to pick which of these fan-made monstrosities becomes our new film clip? Personally I think we burn the lot and just get someone to video us live. It’d be a shit-load easier than trying to film some of these.”

Tim looked up from his laptop where he was reviewing the video entries. “Um...guys? I think we have a problem.” He slipped out of his seat to let them watch the clip currently playing. It was a montage of images - some still, some video, of women in various dresses – at parties, in nightclubs, one of a busty blond crossing a hospital car park. Some of them images were graining while others were crystal clear but they morphed from one to another, moving in perfect timing to the beat of the song.

Jason leant in and backed the video up a bit, going over a night club scene with an androgynous girl in green velvet miniskirt. “Timmy? Want to tell us something?”

Tim just shook his head, his face hidden in his hands.

“Oh damn. I remember that dress.” Dick muttered, chewing on a fingernail as the scene changed to a tall brunet in a plunging neckline evening gown.

A flash of red lace had Jason backing away. ‘How the fuck? What the fuck? Who the fuck?”

Damian wandered passed, till now disinterested in the proceedings. “Okay, this is a weird video clip even for us.” He scrolled back a bit, trying to understand why his brothers were shock white and Steph was rolling around on the floor, crying with laughter. “Clearly this Simple_Lion person is deranged.”

“Oh god.” Tim muttered. “Simple Lion” He looked up into his brothers’ blank faces. “Sibylline. As is Oracle.”

“She’s going to die for this.” Jay muttered, closing the laptop before Damian could watch it again.

A grin splitting Damian’s face from cheek to cheek. “So all of you? At one time or another?” The boys nodded. “And she has all of the footage?” They nodded again. “Clearly this one has to win.”

All three of them looked up at the youth shocked. “We can’t!” Dick spluttered. “No way!” Jason yelled.

But Tim picked up the laptop and started typing.

“What the hell are you doing?” Jason demanded, moving to snatch the computer out of Tim’s hands.

But Tim resisted. “I’m checking the encoded drop-box. By now she will have sent us a list of demands.”

Jason nudged the still laughing Steph with his foot. “Not funny you know!”

“Oh it is.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she clutched her stomach, sore from laughing. “You better give her what she wants or heaven help you if this hits youTube!”

I'm with Steph on this. Too funny.

Never mess with the girl who has all the footage. Poor boys'll never live it down!

I so love this. Loved Jason, Tim and Dick's reaction to the video. :)

I want to know what Babs' demands are.

You and me both. She could ask almost anything and they're have to pay up now!

Glad you liked it!

Some talented person need to make that video.

Hell yes!

Oh, I adore this so much! The boys in their girl costumes! *rolls around laughing* I'm seriously giggling madly right now. Oh god. *wipes eyes* Now I've *got* to know what Oracle demanded, though!!!

So glad I could make you smile.

Mmmm...Oracle demands...

Never change Babs <3

I am glad the girls are having fun at the boy's expense ^__^

Oh Steph and Babs are going to dine out on that clip for months. Till Lil'D snaps over something dumb Dick's done and posts it on youTube without telling them.

Tim and Steph eyed the last cookie. Then they eyed each other. Steph bit her lip and leaned forward in her chair a little, but before she had even made a move Tim's hand had snaked forward and snatched the cookie off the plate.

Steph growled and tried to reach across the table and grab Tim; he leaned back on his chair though, keeping out of her reach.

"Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne you hand over that cookie right this second or I will call Babs and make sure that video is online before you can even blink," Steph threatened.

Tim froze. She didn't even need to say what video, even months after they'd first discovered what Barbara had done, it was still a viable threat in the house.

"You wouldn't." Tim challenged.

Steph smiled sweetly, "Oh but I would."

"You would what?" Damian asked as he walked into the kitchen. He eyed the scene and rolled his eyes in disgust.

"Make sure the world gets to see the lovely little video Babs made," Steph explained without taking her eyes off Tim.

"What video... Oh." Damian paused then shrugged, "I posted that weeks ago after Dick hid my throwing knives."

Damian picked up an apple and walked out of the room, munching away thoughtfully.

Tim fell off his chair.

Steph stole the cookie.

*Happy dance!*

Oh yeah! Made me giggle like a loon! I love you!

Somewhere, Dick and Jason just had an intense panic attack and don't know why.

^___^ thank you!

Hahahaha. And Steph gets her cookie, and all is right with the world.

(I also wouldn't be surprised if the video wasn't viral, and Steph just talked Damian into saying that beforehand; Damian did it just because he wanted to see Tim's reaction. XD)

Steph/cookie OTP?

(Heh maybe, but I think someone might have pointed it out to them if it'd been online for a long time)

*giggles madly* Babs will always do what's best for the kids. Of course, she may think that the video will be good for their career...

Heh, thanks! And the video would be great for their career.
