What: Hulkling is on patrol with Effie. Hey, when a batfamily member asks for a favor...
Rating: PG for now
Hulkling was actually used to being asked to babysit kids. Out of all the teens, he had the most experience with small kids in particular, having babysat ever since he was a young teen while his mom and he had moved throughout towns before ending up in New York.
This... was not the usual babysitting he was used to doing.
For one, the red-head was not a baby, despite her higher-pitched babble. For two, she really was super athletic and acrobatic, having no trouble getting up onto the roof of the building he was meeting her at. For three, they were about to go on patrol, which even randomly could be pretty dangerous. Not your usual babysitting at all.
Teddy remembered the conversation over the coms very well. He'd not minded, but asked why him? Nightwing had told him he had a number of reasons for picking him that would probably become obvious. He was warned against doing any complicated missions with Effie until Teddy could be sure how she maneuvered. There was something else about the conversation that had bothered him, some information being held back, some note on vigilance that made Teddy think he was being subtly tested.
But really, it was hard to not be chill around the younger cape, though he had put one piece together--not everyone could handle Effie. She talked. A lot.
"Girl, you need to breathe," he said with a laugh. "You're going to pass out."
