There’s an ongoing dare within the League that’s been there since its inception. Whoever sits on Batman’s lap during a league meeting and stays there for the whole thing gets $100. This pot has since grown since more members have joined, especially Green Arrow; but it’s all with the understanding that no one would actually do it. They’re already scared of Batman enough as it is and those who aren’t respect him too much. That is until Hal Jordan hears about it.
“How long has this been a thing?” He asked Barry one day before a meeting “I can’t believe I missed this.”
“I can’t believe you missed this!” Barry yelled “It’s been here since day one!”
Hal chuckled “and how much are we looking at now?”
“Between everyone the pots been raised to $2,500.”
Hal whistled “I could really use $2,500.”
“You’re not seriously thinking about it are you?” Barry anxiety could be felt. Cause he knew Hal and he knew Hal was just stupid enough to do it.
“Watch me Flasher.” The Green Lantern smirked.
Everyone entered the meeting room like normal with Barry watching Hal nervously. Lantern simply walked over to Batman’s seat as the Dark Knight sat down. “Hey Spooky,” he greeted him “this seat taken?”
Before he could respond Hal plopped himself down gently into his lap. Barry did a little scream as Aquaman devolved into a coughing fit. “Lantern!” Superman yelled with indignation and Diana openly laughed.
“Hal!” Green Arrow yelled at the same time.
“What?” He asked unable to stop smiling “I’m making an investment; let’s get this meeting started!”
Batman didn’t throw Lantern off of him. In fact Batman didn’t move Hal at all. Instead his hands slinked their way around Hal’s waist and his legs fell apart so the Lantern could sit more comfortably “We’ve wasted enough time,” The Batman grumbled “Start the meeting Superman.”
Over the course of the very unproductive and very distracted meeting, Hal relaxed into Batman’s hold. His full back was on his chest and every so often he would relax his neck onto the Bat’s shoulder. As the meeting came to a close Hal made unwavering eye contact with Oliver “I’ll take that money in transfers.” He flew up and out of Batman’s grasp saying “Thanks Spooky!” Before flying out of the room.
Later that night at Wayne Manor, Hal is lying on Bruce Wayne’s bed “if you needed the money you could have asked.” Bruce said softly climbing into bed. He dragged the pilot closed to him, pressing him firmly against his chest.
“I could’ve” Hal hummed “but this was more fun don’t you think?”
“I suppose you’re right,” Bruce laughed softly into his brown hair.
