No one wanted to play after last time. But what choice did they have? It was -3 outside and Batman hadn't given them a mission.

It was Artemis's idea. She sat the team in a circle and smiled. Everyone knew what she was going to say.
"Truth or Dare?" She asked. She had a higher pitch to her tone, making her sound mischievous.
Robin stood up. "No way."

"Yeah way!" She laughed as she pulled the plastic bottle out of her jacket pocket.

Wally grabbed the little bird's hand and pulled him back down. He didn't try to get back up. No one was going to let him leave. He hated this game.

Eager eyes watched the bottle as it spun. Anticipation ran through the veins. M'gann watched nervously whilst biting her nails.

It stopped. Superboy looked at the bottle with dread. He was always first. Luckily the dares gradually got worse, so it shouldn't be that bad.
"Dare," he sighed.

Artemis and M'gann snickered. They had been planning this one for months.

"Let us wax your legs." Artemis demanded and reached in her pocket.
Connor's face dropped. Why did he choose dare?

"What's the forfit?" he spat.
Robin cackled. "Same as last time!"

The forfit was definitely worse than the dare.

"Fine... It can't be that bad." He began taking his trousers off.

M'gann placed the first strip on his leg and allowed him to spin the bottle. As it was in mid spin, she ripped it off, leaving a red mark and. He yelped like a puppy when you stand on it's tail.

It started to slow down. Wally gulped. His turn.

"Truth!" He said immediately, not want his legs waxed.

Artemis nudged him. "You scared Baywatch?"

The speedster was many things. But he was not a wimp. He scratched his head. If he chickened out he'd never live it down. He looked over at his mischievous bestfriend. No doubt he would be picking the dare.
"Fine," Wally paused, "I choose dare."

The Boy Wonder smirked. "I dare you to dye Barry's suit pink."
"What!? No way! He'll kill me!"
"Strip down then." He ordered.
Wally scowled at him. Revenge would be sweet.
"I'll be back in a flash." He gritted the words out of his mouth.

The teenager finished his dare in seconds. It was hard to believe he actually did it. Wally anticipated this though. He pulled out his phone and showed them a picture of Barry's pink suit. He didn't hesitate to spin the bottle.

He prayed it would land on Robin.

It did.

Robin was horrified. His face went a pasty white colour. The team laughed. They all knew what was coming. Robin glanced at Wally and shook his head. "Please no,"
"Rob," The side of Wally's mouth twitched, "I dare you, to dye Batman's suit pink."

***

Bruce was out. Alfred was visiting family. He leisurely walked into the Batcave and searched for every single one of his suits.

Once he got his hands on them, he used the baby pink dye to re-colour them.

He held the last one up shakily. He hoped Bruce would notice before he went on patrol.

The Boy Wonder sat himself back down. He refused eye contact with everyone.
"You just missed Kaldur spill out his deepest, darkest secretes!" Wally teased.
Robin sulked. "That's not fair! We didn't play when Wally left!"
Artemis shook her head. "Yeah, he was gone for a few seconds. You were gone an hour!"
He looked at Kaldur. "You have secrets?"
He merely shrugged.
"

Has anyone had to do the forfit?" The ebony haired boy asked.
M'gann shook her head. "Not yet."

He reached over to the bottle. It landed on Connor again.

"Dare." He chose again. He did not want to go through what Kaldur just endured.
M'gann picked this one. "Record yourself, as Superboy, reading a Haiku about Superman."
She passed him a note.

"Strength is blue and red,
Superman is my hero,
Sweep me off my feet."

He was mortified. His relationship with Clark wasn't that good... He couldn't broadcast a video of himself asking to be swept off his feet.

Connor pulled off his shirt and trousers. The girls laughed at his perfectly smooth legs. He chose to forfit.

He made his way outside whilst the Young Justice team followed. The garage door opened painfully slow. It lifted up and Connor walked outside.
"Do the Superman pose!" Artemis was in stiches.
"Yes!" Robin cackled.

He looked back at them. They were the only ones seeing this. There was strictly no phones allowed during the forfit. So, he placed his hands on his hips and stood tall.

"So this is how you kids spend your freetime?" A voice said.

Connor's arms dropped as he turned around. It just had to be Superman that came and checked on them. Wally burst into a fit of laughter.

Metropolis' hero stared at his clone whom was just in boxers.
"I think it's time you all head home, don't you?"

***

Gotham City needed the Dark Knight. As soon as Bruce returned from work he headed straight into that Batcave. Dick didn't even realise he came back.
However, he certainly did when he began yelling his name.

He walked in with his head down. His eyes didn't leave the floor. In the corner of his eye he caught a pink boot. Slowly, Dick lifted his head up.

The Batman was wearing a pink batsuit.

And Dick did the worst possible thing. He started laughing to the point that tears began rolling down his cheeks. To the point where he almost fell over and landed on his butt.

"What. Have. You. Done."
He wiped the tears from his eyes. "Um - it was a dare?"

Batman stood on a roof, watching over the city. For the next few weeks, he would be known as the Pink Knight. And criminals everywhere found the courage to commit a crime. They seemed to forget that even in pink, he could defeat them with just a glare.
