So, this is my second fanfic. This one actually is true to my name. It took forever to shape in my head.

I do NOT own Young Justice OR any of the characters save for Nightinggale. Much as I wish I did.

I hope y'all enjoy the story, I will be updating it as life goes on.

Review always appreciated!

Two Birds Are Better Than One

"Recognized Robin, B-01," announced the computer.

"Okay guys everyone get ready!" Megan squealed. "Oh, this is gonna be so great!" Artemis said, getting into position.

"Um, guys. I still don't think that this is a good idea." Wally repeated. He was Rob's best friend. He knew that Robin did NOT like surprises. *Oh well,* he thought *I guess they just have to learn the hard way*

"Wally, hurry get down, he's on his way in here!" M'gann whisper-shouted.

"- I still don't get why ou made me come here by myself. . . . What do you mean, 'Something came up'? What could have come up that was SO important that-"

"SURPRISE!" the whole junior justice league yelled.

"Rob, calm down it's us!" Wally yelled as he jumped over the sofa and tackled the young bird. Robin had gotten into a fighting stance with bird-a-rangs in hand. Chance were they exploded.

"I-I don't understand. . Did we do something wrong?" Megan naively asked. "Yeah, seriously, punk. It's a surprise party, not an ambush! I know you're Bats kid but, I mean really!" Artemis said shaking her head, somewhere between amused and angry. Mostly leaning towards amused. She never could stay mad at Robin.

"I toldyou guys how much he hates surprises!" Wally said in that 'I told you so' voice. He had earned it, hadn't he? He was Rob's best friend. You'd think they would get that. Obviously not. He had shifted so he was sitting next to Robin on the ground. Robin just sat there, shocked.

"Forgive us, my friend. We did not mean to offend you in any way. If you would prefer we get rid of the decorations, we will-" Robin held his hands up, dropping the bird-a-rangs. KF caught them, seeing the blinking lights. He knew Rob so well, it was a little scary. "Kaldur, no, no, no! You misunderstand. It means a lot you guys did this. I just. . .well, let's just say that me and surprises don't exactly mix." Robin rubbed his neck, laughing as he stood up.

"Well, if you are sure you do not mind, then Happy Birthday, my young friend." Kaldur said with a smile. "Yeah, Happy Birthday, insane little bat-boy!" Artemis said, running over laughing. She pulled Robin into a tight hug. "Love you, kiddo," she whispered into his ear. No one but Robin knew about her soft side. "Right back at ya, sis," he replied just as quietly. Megan let out yet another squeal of delight. "oh, Happy Birthday, Robin!" She too gave him a hug. Conner, Kaldur and Wally just slapped him on the back, put a hand on his shoulder, and put him in a head lock (you can guess who did who).

"Oh, c'mon! I actually agree to come and help you guys with this and you start without me?" Robin gasped not daring to turn around. He knew that snarky angst ridden voice but, it couldn't be- "Look, bro, I know I haven't been around a lot lately but, could you at least look at me when I tell you Hap-" that was all it took for Robin to turn around, huge grin plastered on his face, and run, launching himself into the red archer's arms. "ROY!"

"Whoa, Rob! If you weren't so scrawny, you'd knock me over!" Roy said, laughing as he hugged his baby brother back. "Wait a minute," everyone turned to look at Conner. "I thought you didn't like surprises," the clone said with a raised eyebrow. "I think I could learn to like them, " Robin said with a smile from atop Roy's shoulders-Hold on, how did he get up there? Never mind that, he's a ninja bird, better not to question these things.

The team-plus RA-then gathered around the counter for pizza, cake, ice cream, and all other sorts of junk food. It was great. Robin was having the time of his life and then - "Recognized Batman, 02," the computer had to go and say that.

"Awwww, maaan!" Wally yelled. The party was officially over if the big, bad Bat was there. "I guess we have to go have a mission, now." They all filed into the main hall of the mountain.

"Robin," Batman said in his deep gravelly voice. Only Robin knew from the warmth in it that Bruce was saying happy birthday. . . AGAIN. "So, what's up Bats?" Robin asked. "Do we have a mission?" Batman looked at Robin, the team, lingered for a second on Red Arrow, back to Robin. "No." There was an audible collective gasp from everyone. Then, Bats smiled. Like, outwardly,where everyone actually could see, smiled. Robin's face was perfect. "Wh-what?" he was floored. "Then, why are you here?" He put his hands on his hips and quirked an eyebrow.

"I have a surprise for you." Batman knew full well how his son felt about surprises. Before his son could protest, he continued. "Two, actually. The first: Robin, today is the day." Robin gulped. "You mean like. . . THE day, the day?" Batman nodded his head. "Wow." The team looked back and forth between the two. "The second is, well. I think it's better to show you." "Hmmmm?" Robin had totally forgot about the second gift from his father.

"Recognized Nightinggale, B-09." Robin snapped his head toward the Zeta-tubes. "No. . .way" Robin whispered. Bats smiled again! "Way." Robin, Wally, and Roy looked at each other, smiled than ran to the Zeta-tubes. A girl with a slight frame walked into the light. "Who is -" Megan started when Artemis cut her off. "Robin?" It was true. The girl bore a striking resemblance to the resident bird.

"He is really-?" "Yeah!" the little girl cut him off. "Happy Birthday!" she jumped on him. "Hey, what about us?" "Yeah, where's our love?" the two gingers chorused. "Hahaha, sorry guys. Hi!" she hugged them both. They lifted her off her feet. "Hello?" Conner caused them all to turn around-yet again. "Who is she?" The girl stepped forward. She was converse, dark skinny jeans, a purple hoodie, and a black leather jacket, with (of course) sunglasses. She was so like Robin. "Hi, I'm Nightinggale. I'm Robin's little sister," she answered.
