A boom was followed by a dazzling display of red, white, and blue. 

"Oh shi-LOOK OUT!" Someone screamed as a firework rushed past them and into the shed, which exploded. 

Everyone turned to Dick who was carrying a lighter and some more fireworks. 

He passed it all into Jason's hands and took off running. 

"Seriously, Richard?!" Bruce yelled. 

Alfred sighed, "I'll call the builders."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"BOOM!" Jason laughed loudly. 

He lit another one, but it didn't go into the direction he thought it would. 

Instead, it headed straight for the shed. 

The shed blew up. 

Alfred and Bruce both groaned. 

"I'll call the builders."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If my calculations are correct, then this firework will send the guy into the air, then we can keep him up with other fireworks." Tim said, holding a plastic, old action figure. 

Tim set the first one off and the figure was in the air!

Unfortunately, not for long. One of the fireworks flew into the shed and it blew up. 

"I'm moving it!"Alfred exclaimed as the figure fell to the ground. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh! Let's try this one!" Steph smiled. 

She lit the ground firework and it went running off, sparkling. 

"Another!"Cass smiled. 

Steph lit another one. 

This one seemed to follow Cass, which freaked her out. 

So, she ran into the closest safe haven. 

The shed. 

The firework was going to hurt her!

Nope.

It blew up the shed instead. 

"Do we really need a shed?" Bruce asked. 

"Where shall I store the lawn equipment then?" Alfred snarked. 

"Call the builders." Bruce grumbled. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay. Be careful when twirling these, okay?" Steph lit the sparklers in Cass' hands. 

Cass jumped around, happy. 

However, she tripped. 

The sparkler flew into the shed, which, of course, exploded. 

"Oopsies!" Cass blushed. 

"They will refuse to build us another one. One day." Bruce said. 

"Until that day, I still need a shed." Alfred said, picking up the phone. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I do not understand. Why are people making sounds similar to that of a gun shot?" Damian asked Richard in front of everyone. 

"Damian! Little D! Daaaaaames! It's not about the noise, it's about the stuff after the noise! The flashing sparkles of light, the intricate display of colored patterns, and the beauty of it all! That's what you're missing, Dami!" Dick smiled like a mad man. 

"You have interested me. Show me." Damian demanded. 

Richard lit a firework and showed Damian. 

Damian nodded. 

"Try it yourself." Dick said, handing him a firework.

Richard lit it for him.

Damian held it out, not knowing what exactly to expect. 

The firework left his hand and went into the shed. 

"TAKE COVER!" Jason yelled before the shed blew up. 

"THAT'S IT! THE BUILDERS REFUSED TO BUILD ANOTHER ONE! NO MORE SHED!" Alfred yelled. 

"Too bad. I liked the shed there." Bruce said. 

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I'll call some new builders." Alfred sighed.
