Little Sister, Biggest Tickle Spot
AN: I originally planned for this to be pretty short but it was way too cute not to go all out for. Cassandra definitely deserves some little sister tickles (even if she isn't technically the youngest).
Characters: Ler!Jason, Ler!Dick, Lee!Cassandra, Ler!Damian, Ler!Tim (but also briefly lee!Tim)
These characters have a PLATONIC relationship, they're siblings!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peace and quiet was so rare in Gotham City, especially at Wayne Manor. A house that once felt so empty, with only a young Bruce Wayne and a younger-but-still-old Alfred in it, was now filled with many teenagers and young adults (adopted or otherwise). All of them smushed together into one mostly well functioning family.
Bruce adopted kids like Pokemon cards, it wasn’t a secret. So when he came home with adoption papers for Cassandra, nobody was all that shocked. But honestly, they could’ve warned her before she gained 5 brothers overnight.
First off, they were loud. Jason liked to yell, mainly at technology when it didn’t work. Dick had a habit of singing off-key in the shower. All while Tim and Damian bickered like their lives depended on it.
Though loudest thing they all did was tickling, a very common prank in the Wayne household. She could understand why, it was easy and everyone was affected by it. But nothing could prepare her for when they turned their sights on her.
“C'mon, Timbo. Take your punishment like a man!"
Cassandra watched from the living room armchair as Jason tickled Tim half to death. She even had to suppress a smirk when Tim dramatically reached out for her, only to snap his arm back down to his side when Jason went for his exposed underarm.
"Nuh uh, Cassie can't save you. She knows better, right Cassandra?" Jason winked at her as he poked at a particularly sensitive spot on Tim's stomach. Cassandra had to look away for a moment to keep herself from giggling involuntarily.
Jason eventually let Tim go once the poor boy's face went red from laughing. Cassandra let out a sigh of relief, ready to dive back into the book she was reading with her newly acquired peace and quiet.
"Shut it, brat! Don't you dare!"
Dick's big brother senses must've kicked in because not even a minute later he came barreling in the room, with Damian strolling behind him. Dick looked ready for war until he saw Tim red faced on the floor while pointing at Jason.
"Again Jason? You can't tickle him every day. Save some giggles for the rest of us." Dick chuckled and crouched down by Tim to make sure his younger brother was recovering okay.
Jason shrugged, "It's not every day, just whenever he deserves it."
"Tt, maybe you should build some stamina. Seems like Todd bests you more and more each time."
"Jason can be pretty ticklish. Maybe Tim should get him back." Cassandra said softly. Honestly she didn't even think anyone heard her, she doesn't usually involve herself in these things anyway. That was until she felt Jason's hands on her shoulders.
"What was that? Sounds like you want to join him over there." Jason chuckled and rested his chin on the top of her head. Now everyone was looking at her. Great.
Cassandra's stomach did a flip. Having never been put in this position before, honestly it was exciting. She watched countless tickle fights between her family before and never really got involved. Sure she suffered a few pokes here and there, but nothing on this level. What's the harm in trying it, right?
"Well... you'll have to catch me first?" Cassandra said a tiny bit louder as she looked up at Jason. There was a moment of silence before Jason smirked and backed up so she could have a head start.
We? Cassandra finally noticed how Dick was looking at her. Not to mention Tim, who would do anything to redirect Jason's attention away from him. Damian was already cracking his knuckles, eager to prove that he could catch her before their brothers.
"You've got a 10 second headstart."
Cassandra didn't need any more clarification. She got up and bolted out of the room. Now the hard part came, hiding from 4 vigilantes without them catching her. She headed up the stairs as quiet as possible, already hearing the sound of footsteps searching for her.
"Cassieee! Come on outtt!"
"Yeah, c'mon! We promise we won't make you scream louder then Tim did!"
Cassandra snickered to herself, quickly covering her mouth as she searched the second floor for a hiding spot. She couldn't hide in her room, that would be too obvious. Same with Bruce's room and his study. Damian's room was impossible with Titus barking every time someone entered. So maybe Jason's room? Or Dick's? Or maybe...
Sure it was kind of cheating, but one of the Batcave entrances was right down the hall. She snuck over and put in the code, then headed into the Batcave.
When she got there, she could see someone sitting at the Batcomputer. Probably Bruce reviewing mission reports from the previous day. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, and walked over.
The chair whirled around and there was Dick, grinning like a madman.
"Batcave is off-limits. Bruce banned tickling here after Jason broke a light when he was 14. Don't tell him I told you, he hates that story." Dick said as if he wasn't stretching his fingers and slowly walking up to her.
"Dick, I'll give you $10 right now to forget you saw me."
Dick laughed at her bargaining, "Your laughter is worth way more then $10. There isn't enough money in the universe to make me not do this." Dick rushed at her and picked up Cassandra bridal style. He started walking up the stairs to bring her back to the mansion.
"You're not gonna squirm? Or bite? You're letting this happen?" Dick said as he noticed her lack of struggling.
"You'd catch me either way, besides, I'm... excited for this." Cassandra pressed her face into her older brother's shoulder. Dick had to hold himself back from cooing at her.
"It's about time you got the proper little sibling treatment."
"I'm not that little, I'm older then Tim and Damian."
"But you're younger then me, which makes you little in my eyes." Dick poked her side gently, chuckling when he felt her squirm.
Once they reached the top of the stairs, Dick carried her back into the living room and tossed her onto the couch. Cassandra laughed and tossed a pillow at Dick playfully.
"Oho, now you're going to get it. GUYS! I GOT HER!"
Cassandra was already giggling when the rest of her brothers came running. She was wrestling with Dick's hands and doing a pretty good job of it too.
"Guess who I found lurking around? Lend me a hand over here!" Dick said cheerfully. Jason and Tim helped hold Cassandra's wrists but didn't pin her down to the couch. Even though she was their sister, they didn't want to overwhelm her. Meanwhile Damian sat perched on the couch arm.
"Alright, little sis. You're about to get the full experience." Jason started poking at her abs and sides, smirking when she started trying to squirm away from his fingers.
"I- I'm nohot little!" Cassandra protested through her giggles. She felt Dick's hand start to skitter up her neck and over her ears. Tim's hands joined in by gently spidering over her knees.
"I don't know, you seem pretty little right now. Who knew that our dear sister was ticklish?" Jason teased as he focused his fingers more on her ribs.
The teasing was relentless, gentle, but relentless. they weren't trying to tickle hard, but the constant commentary made everything feel more sensitive.
"Aw, she giggles like you Tim!"
"Nah, she sounds more like Damian when you get his back. Let me see if- oho! Yeah, they share a spot."
"Check out how she jumps when I poke her belly button."
"Jeez, this is adorable."
Cassandra had shut her eyes long before the teasing picked up, it was anyone's guess as to who was saying what. All she knew was, it felt nice to laugh like this.
"For the record, I knew she was ticklish way before any of you. I saw Brown get her months ago." Cassandra recognized that voice. Of course Damian needed to sneak in a comment. Cassandra opened her eyes, which was a big mistake. She was face to face with all four of her brothers leaning over her and smiling.
"Morning sunshine! I thought you'd keep your eyes shut the whole time." Dick said as he reached down to squeeze the soft skin right above her hips.
"GaHAHAHA! Waihahait! Guys plehehase!"
"Can't believe you let the demon spawn know before your loving big brothers! How despicable!" Jason let out an evil chuckle (very dramatically, even for him). He gave Tim and Dick a look, a silent communication that Cassandra was too busy giggling to pick up on. Suddenly multiple pairs of hands pressed her shoulders to the back of the couch while Jason leaned in and blew a raspberry on her stomach.
More squealing laughter erupted from Cassandra. Even Damian started chuckling at her reaction, leaning a bit closer to see her face better.
"Hm, this seems effective. Perhaps it can be used next time we spar?"
"Fair enough. Seems too big of a weakness for you anyway. We should tell Father to train your resistance to tickling." Damian smirked as Jason finally let Cassandra go. Dick pulled her into a gentle side hug and rubbed her back while Tim looked up at Damian.
"I wouldn't mind tickling you next time we spar. See if the 'allmighty' Damian Wayne has a weakness." Tim remarked. Right on schedule, Tim and Damian were back to bickering. Except this time Jason was playing referee. He always did secretly like stirring harmless drama.
"Doing okay, Cass?" Dick said as he watched his brothers start to turn on Damian. "We didn't go too far, right?"
"No, it was perfect. Thanks for... being my brother." Cassandra said softly as she caught her breath.
"Anytime. We're all family here."
Family. Sure they were loud, and idiots, but they were her family.
Cassandra wouldn't train that for the world.
