A/N: In honor of April 19th, the National Day of Silence, a day that echoes the silence faced by gay, lesbian, and transgender teens everywhere. Also, it echoes the silence of the bullied. The Team learns of this day, and decides to take part in it as well. May be hints of gay/lesbian relationships between Team if you squint. Also mentions of bullying. A Team bonding, fluff, and a little angsty fic. Enjoy!

Chapter One: Something Important

Bored of his Algebra 2 homework, Dick Grayson distracted himself with his laptop. The Boy Wonder was just going through his sixteen unread Emails, when he stumbled across something really interesting. He read the message over and over again, memorizing every word, every letter, every period. This was just thing he'd been hoping for: something to at least acknowledge major issues in this world, plus it can also be a great Team building exercise. Smiling slightly, he called his Teammates and told him to meet him at the Cave in 20 minutes.

Other than the actual residents, Dick was the first to arrive. Of course M'gann, Zatanna, and Conner were curious, but he made them wait until the rest of his friends showed. Finally, nearly 30 minutes later, all eight teens were assembled. "Now, thanks guys for coming on such short notice, but I had to share some info I stumbled across. Something important." Dick explained, pacing in front of his teammates. He paused for a moment to let his words sink in, before he continued, "How many of you have heard of the National Day of Silence? Please, raise your hands." No one moved. Dick sighed. He tried to think of a way to explain this. After several seconds of thinking, he resumed his speech. "It's… it's a day of silence that echoes the silence of bullied teens; especially gays, lesbians, and transgenders. I think, no, I know, that if we all take part in this silence, we will at least acknowledge the struggles many teens face. So what do you guys say?" Dick finished.

He stood still, like a statue. So did everyone else. Silence? For a whole day? Most of them couldn't keep their mouths shut for ten minutes at a time. But 24 hours? Artemis glanced at her Teammates. She had been bullied before, even now she was bullied. Some kids have even accused her of being a lesbian. She was the first to step forward. "I'm in. When is this going down?" Dick happily replied, "Tomorrow." Others quickly followed Artemis, and soon the whole Team was in. "Since this Day of Silence occurs on Friday, let us meet back here Saturday morning with what we have discovered about ourselves and others." Kaldur suggested. He was met with agreeing nods. Everyone had grown quiet with determination to make some sort of statement.

A/N: A little on the short side, but I'm trying to crank out these chapters before midnight,Thank you to everyone who took part in the National day of Silence. Please leave your review. But be a little kind, okay? I'm a big noob, and I'm still learning the ropes.
