Summary: Bart is being adorkable. YJ era pre-slash fluff.

Robin is sitting at a desk, going over some files while the other Young Justice members are horse-playing somewhere around ten feet behind him. He sighs mentally, and flips through the files again. There's got to be something that matches up with the latest bizarre crimes happening around here.

Suddenly, there is a weight on his lap. The weight of a speedster, who picks up one of the files and flicks through the pages before Tim can snatch it back.

"Hey Rob! What's up?" Tim gives another mental sigh.

"Reviewing old case files to try and find similarities to a case I'm working on now." Bart blurs out of existence and back into it with cupcakes.

"Oh! Cool! Can I help?" Before Tim gets a chance to gently turn down the offer, Bart is gone and back again. "I could totally be like your sidekick helper and we could be Robin and Impulse! Y'know, instead of Batman and Robin? Or! You could totally be that Holmes guy cause he's a super detective and I could be Watson!"

"Thanks Bart, but-" Bart blurs away again, and comes back looking not quite as happy.

"I get it. I guess I'd just be a bother." Tim bites his lip. He supposes there couldn't be any harm...

"Here. This is a list of previous offenders that had similar methods to the ones I'm seeing in the case. Cross-check the names with this file, and see if any of them have escaped or been released from prison, and where they are residing. Then check that with this list of locations." Bart grins. Tim figures he'll get bored in a bit, and Tim can just go over the autopsy files in the meantime. Those are definitely not something he wants Bart reading or seeing.

"Okay!" A few seconds later, Bart has a messily scribbled list on paper that looks like it just avoided bursting into flame from the friction. "Here you go!" Bart blurs away again. Six names. That, from the over hundred pages of data Bart had just been handed. Tim frowns, and reads them over. He'll recheck it later of course, in case Bart missed anything but...

"Cupcake?" Bart is back to sitting in his lap, holding a single, extra frosted, sprinkle loaded cupcake for him. Tim takes it carefully. Bart grins.

"Thank you."

"Are you done now? Or can you take a break?"

"I suppose I could take a short break." He slides the files neatly back into their case, locking it. He takes a bite of the cupcake, and is surprised. "You made these?" Bart nods rapidly. "Where did you learn to make cupcakes?"

"Elementary, my dear Robin, elementary," quips Bart.

Tim smiles slightly, and allows Bart to drag him off to watch Wendy the Werewolf Stalker.
