The Family of Bats (DRABBLES)

The One Weakness

Richard was grunting at the kitchen table as he tried to open a bottle.

"Would you stop grunting, Grayson." Damian demanded.

"Sorry. I just can't open this. The stupid child-safety lock isn't letting me open it!" Dick frowned.

"Which further proves that you are a child, Grayson." Damian said.

Damian took the bottle and opened it easily. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What are you doing, Dickhead?" Jason asked.

"I'm TRYING to open this package. But the child-safety lock is being stubborn!" Richard growled. 

Jason sighed and opened the package for him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Steph, can you open this thing for me?" Richard asked, handing Stephanie a package.

"Seriously? You can't open this yourself?" Stephanie asked.

"The child-safety lock." Dick frowned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Open?" Dick asked with a smile, handing a bottle to Cassandra.

Cassandra took it and opened it before handing it back.

"Thank you!" Dick smiled widely and left her room.

He came back a few moments later.

"Can you open this again? I put the lid back on." Richard said.

Cass sighed but opened it again.

"Thanks again!" Dick smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brrrruuuuuuuuuuuccccceee!" Richard called loudly before he entered Bruce's study.

"What, Dickie?" Bruce asked, writing on some paper.

"Can you open this?" Richard handed Bruce a can.

Bruce raised an eyebrow as he took the can, "You can't do it because?"

"Child-safety lock." Dick said.

Bruce sighed and handed the can, now open, back to Richard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole Batfamily, except Alfred and Richard, were tied up and hovering dangerously close to a lava pit courtesy of Joker. 

"Nightwing, pull the lever and we'll come up!" Stephanie yelled.

Nightwing went over to the lever and pulled it a few times, but it didn't budge.

"What's taking so long?" Jason asked.

"WHO PUTS A CHILD-SAFETY LOCK ON A LEVER???!!!" Nightwing screamed.

"SERIOUSLY?! YOU CAN'T GET PAST A CHILD-SAFETY LOCK!" Jason screamed.

"We didn't have these when I was growing up! And I'd APPRECIATE it if you stopped YELLING AT ME!" Dick screamed.

"Move." Batwoman, Katherine "Katie" Kane, pushed Nightwing out of the way and undid the child-safety lock. 

She pulled the lever and the Bat-family was safe at last!

"You need help." Kate said.

"Seriously? You still can't get past a child-safety lock?" Damian asked.

"It's my one weakness." Dick's hands clenched into fists.
