-When mom pulls into the driveway and you forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer:-

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

"I'm at the mountain."

There was a gasp over the phone. "B said there's an inspection at two pm!"

Dick checked the time: yep, one 'o' four pm. He looked around the mountain: a lazy winter's day with the heating cranked up, trash everywhere, everyone in the deepest depths of teenage disfunction.

"Shhhhhhhfuck." Dick emitted.

"What?" Tim asked. "How bad?"

Dick clutched the phone. "help."

"Who's that?" Wally called

"GUYS!" Dick lowered the phone. "Surprise league inspection!"

Kaldur shot upright. "When?"

"Two pm!"

Artemis checked the time. "OH FUCK! that's in, like, an hour!"

"Oh NO!" M'gann looked around the livingroom. "I was going to vacuum tomorrow! The place is filthy!"

"Let's hustle then!" Dick exclaimed. "My brothers are on their way."

Wally sniffed himself a little. "We should shower, right?"

"DUH! team inspection!" Artemis exclaimed, leaping up. "C'mon!" She ran from the room, tugging off her t-shirt, Wally on her heels.

"Robin shower too, once you're done, we'll take our turn." Kaldur ordered. "For now we'll tidy the mountain."

"Alright!" Dick ran after his friends. He jumped into the changeroom and stripped off, jumping in the shower next to Wally. They started washing.

"Robin!" Artemis' voice called through the door after a few minutes. "You got dry shampoo?"  

"Yeah, it's in the blue bag under the sink!"

"Thanks." She opened the door and crawled under the sink to find the can. The boys quickly finished washing and jumped out of the shower, grabbing their towels. Artemis looked up from her place on the bathroom floor, wrapped in a towel and combing dry shampoo through her long hair. 

"Let's get some clean clothes." Dick said, drying his hair and face.

Artemis pulled her hair into a loose bun, and the three towel-clad teens flitted down the hall. They kept clean pyjamas and clothes in one of the closets. They dressed in the hallway (No point in separating the sexes, Wally and Dick didn't like girls, and Artemis didn't like boys), and sprinted back to the rest of the gang.

Two of Robin's brothers were already present when they returned. "Tag out!" Wally exclaimed, grabbing the vaccum from M'gann.

"Thank you!" She flew off to clean herself, the other boys hurrying after her. 

"Hey Timmy." Dick wiped the steam off his glasses. "How long do we have?"

"About twenty-five minutes." Tim replied, grabbing trash off the coffee table. "Help Jay in the kitchen."

"What about me?" Artemis asked. 

"Make sure that nothing was left laying out in the main room, or in the halls." Tim instructed.

"Got it." Dick skipped to the kitchen.he grabbed dirty pots off the cold burners and chucked them in the sink, wiping off the stove. He rearranged the magnets on the fridge so that they no longer read 'FUCK MY LOOPS'. That would be hard to explain.

Jason was preoccupied with dishes. Dick eventually joined him, making the dishes move a hundred times faster.

Meanwhile, Artemis had grabbed abandoned schoolbags, shoes, and one of Wolf's leashes from the hallways, and replaced them, and was just returning to grab an empty tv dinner package in her hall when she ran into the others dressing after their showers. 

"Superboy where is your costume?" Kaldur asked their barely-dressed teammate.

"It's in the wash!"

"Motherfucker, you have like eighteen shirts!" Artemis snapped.

"They need repairs!" Conner exclaimed, he was wearing his school jeans. Ideally no one would notice he wasn't wearing his regular cargo pants.

"Yeah, no shit! You're fighting villains in a mass-produced t-shirt!" She groaned. "Okay, grab one your least-ripped shirt. Do you know how to sew?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How urgent is it?" Damian ordered.

"fifteen minutes!"

Damian swore. "You don't know what you're going." He took the vacuum from Wally. "Make yourself useful."

"I'm trying!" The redhead sprinted off.

"What do we do when they arrive?" M'gann asked, rearranging the living room so it looked like they hadn't spent all day on the couch. 

"Just hope they don't suspect that you knew." Tim replied. 

Artemis ran in and dropped her backpack on the carpet and threw her binder on the coffee table. "We were doing homework all afternoon."

"Everyone hold your breath, this'll be quick." Wally skidded in, shaking a can of Febreze. He gave the room with the spray, making them all cough and squint. "Yo, put on a movie so it looks like we ain't trying!"

"I got it!" M'gann grabbed the remote and went on Netflix, skipping through their recommended.

"What is our time?" Kaldur asked, returning. He was sweating a little from his task of rearranging the gym equipment

"Ten minutes!" Tim called over Damian's hoovering.

"Shit." Jason reappeared. "Hey! What the hell is this! He grabbed a neglected plastic bag off the floor. "What the fuck, CLEAN!"

M'gann finished tidying and flew the dirtier blankets to the laundry room, where she found Conner pulling on his newly resewn shirt. 
Artemis ran to the kitchen trashcan and buried the empty Oreo packets under paper towels. She slid a bag of almonds onto the counter and opened it so it looked like they'd been eating somewhat healthy.

"Everyone stretch! They might want a physical evaluation!" Dick called, stretching his hamstrings, being joined by a couple others. "And hydrate so you don't look so dead!" 

M'gann returned and picked Ferris Buller's day off, skipped forwards several minutes.

"Four minutes!" Jason shouted.

"KON! WHERE ARE YOU? GET IN HERE!" Artemis shouted into the air.

Dick ran in with them to the sofas. About two minutes later, Conner joined them, followed by Wolf. He'd been spot-cleaning Sphere, and seeing that the hanger and armoury weren't in shambles (which they were).

"Minute and a half!" Tim called, returning the vacuum to the cupboard.

"Bats get out!" Wally called, sprinting to the couches, and diving on.

Jason saluted the team. "Godspeed kiddos!"

"Good luck with the inspection." Damian grabbed his brothers and tugged them through the zetabeam.

"Okay!" M'gann turned up the movie's sound. "We were doing homework all day."

"Wolf, off the couch." Artemis whistled.

"No, he's allowed on the couch." Conner disputed. 

"Dog hair genius!"

"Kid Flash, there's a link roller in the laundry Room!" Kaldur shouted

Wally sprung off the couch and ran like his life depended on it. They were all off the sofa when he returned, Conner holding the beast of a dog off the ground. "One minute!" He raced alongside the sofa, clearing off as much white fur as he could.

"We don't have a minute!" Artemis screeched.

Wally chucked the roller under the sofa, diving onto the couch with M'gann and Kaldur. Artemis and Conner dropped to the floor with Wolf, snatching the schoolwork off the coffee table.

RECOGNIZED: RED TORNADO-

The team looked up curiously from where they were flopped across the couches as their mentors entered. Most of them had binders or textbooks on their laps, and the rest were staring at some movie they were about halfway through.

"Hey... What's up?" Wally asked hesitantly.

Artemis looked up too, both kids were suspiciously surprised innocent expressions. "Is it a new mission?"

"Please be a mission! It's been FOREVER!" Dick exclaimed. The goal was to stop Kaldur  and M'gann from speaking, they weren't great liars.

"We're here for a team evaluation, and to inspect the mountain." Bats looked over the teens suspiciously. "I hope this is a convenient time."

"Oh yeah, we got time." Artemis replied.

Conner nodded, petting his dog. "We're just doing homework. If we'd known we could've cleaned." The others shot him looks. 

"Where do you want to start?" Kaldur asked.
