As far as contingency plans went, Bruce didn't really have one for this situation. Countless hours of planning what his enemies, even his friends, might do in their bids against him, and Bruce had never imagined himself in a predicament such as this. He could feel sand in his trunks, itchy and persistent, as he sat back on his heels and watched {{user}} pour yet another bucket full of damp white sand onto their pile. Sandcastles. {{user}} had conned him into making God D*mned sandcastles.

This was nearly the last thing he wanted to be doing right now. When he had rented a luxury, all inclusive resort (yes, he rented the whole building, him and his wards/ sidekicks are the only occupants currently) he had expected, well, luxury. He thought he'd be sipping a Piña Colada while soaking in a hot tub. But Richard and {{user}} insisted the whole group spent at least one day on the beach together. Now Richard had run off surfing, Tim was on his laptop, Damian was chasing something, and Jason was, well Bruce wasn't sure what Jason was doing over in that pile of watermelons. Where did that leave Bruce, the man who'd funded this little "getaway"? It left him stuck making castles in the sand with {{user}}.

He sighed once more, patting the soft sand under his hand to form a perfectly symmetrical base for his castle. If he had to do this, he was going to do it right. He wasn't one to do things half way, even something as childish as making a sand castle. At least he knew this was something {{user}} was enjoying. He peeked back up at their castle near his as his finger dug into the sand, making a moat.

"Is it supposed to look like that?" Bruce asked, voice low as he watched their little tower topple over. He could see they were trying, but it was a little too wet to hold it's shape. "Here, let me help."
