Robin was all alone in the tower, everyone else had gone for pizza, but he hadn't felt like it, so he grabbed some photo albums, cranked up the music and sat in the living room, lost in memories. He sighed, momentarily removing his mask and rubbing the bridge of his nose, while gazing at the photograph that he usually kept hidden in his closet. He looked strange in the picture, first of all he was smiling a real smile the kind that spread to his beautiful dark blue eyes, second of all, he wasn't dressed like boy wonder, but most importantly, he was with his family. His family, his younger twin sisters grinning up at him, Christina and Morgana were only a year younger than him, but he'd still always felt the need to look after them and what a great job he'd done, he didn't even know where they were. He'd failed them all, his parents were dead, his sisters, well who knew if they were still alive, same thing with his little brother and sister, Chelsea and James. He'd never felt as close to Chels and Jamie as he did with Chris and Mo, maybe 'cause they were so much younger, ten years actually, just babies in the picture, always so young he'd never felt like he could communicate with them. He'd left his mask off, so the tear that overflowed his eye ran freely down his cheek, he was so wrapped up in his feelings that he didn't notice his teammates enter the room until Beast Boy had snatched the photograph out of his hand. In a flash he'd stuck his mask back on, slammed the photo album closed and was on his feet looking at his friends in shock.

"Aww, cute kids!" B.B. exclaimed showing the picture to Starfire, Cyborg and Raven. Raven rolled her eyes, trying to pretend not to be interested, everyone else, however, was quite amused by the photo.

"Wow!" Starfire squealed, "Who are they?"

"Haha," Cyborg laughed, "That one looks like you!"

Robin snatched the photo back, "It is me!" he snapped, "That's my family photo."

"Wow," B.B. said scratching the back of his head, "You should have a more recent one taken, you're like, I don't know, ten in this one."

"Can't," He said nearly choking on his words, "Not much of a family left to take a picture of, for all I know it could just be me by now."

"What happened to them?" Starfire asked innocently.

The image of his parents bodies flashed through his head, the way they had looked the last time he saw them, cold, bleeding, broken on the ground, "My parents died two weeks after that picture was taken, the five of us kids stuck together for a while, but I left and havn't seen them in four years now."

"Why'd you leave?" B.B. asked.

"Same reason I left Batman and Batgirl," Robin said shrugging, "Things change."

The Talons had been flying in silence since they'd left Washington, nobody wanted to talk about what was bothering them, partly because everyone had something different on their minds. So finally Truth broke the silence, "So, Mo, you, uh, mentioned not speaking again until you ether returned to Jacob or we found Demon." Midnight nodded, "Well, that's, um, great, I guess."

The silence continued for a few more moments, "Truth," Faith called, "I..."

She stopped short for some reason, "What is it?"

"Never mind." the small brunette choked whipping tears from her big green eyes.

"Hey Truth?" Hope yelled over the wind, "Were are we going next?"

"Well, I was thinking Jump City," I said, "There's a carnival going on there and I'm ready to take a break from all the science lab crap."

The gang cheered, "Alright," Dragon yelled, "Cotton candy!"

******************************

"Hey Midnight?" She turned to face me, we were at the top of the Farris wheel and the view was amazing, "Do you ever think about Demon, like miss him or anything?"

She nodded and looked sad.

Truth took a deep breath, "Sometimes I wonder where he went, what he's doing, why he left, you know, what was more important to him than us. I dream of him sometimes and sometimes just after I wake up or we're walking down the street, I'll think I see him, but when I look again, he's never there."

She nodded again, knowingly.

"Like that guy over there dressed up like Robin," She said pointing to a tall dark haired boy hanging out with his friends outside the hall of mirrors, they were all dressed like super heroes. She leaned out over the bar to take a closer look with her raptor vision, "Actually he looks a lot like Demon, I mean older that last time we saw him, but very similar, I can't see his eyes, he's wearing a mask. Ha, like his crazy twin... who wears spandex."

Midnight smiled and snickered.

Truth smiled teasingly, "I heard that, so apparently it's not complete silence any more."

The younger twin grinned and kicked her sister in the ankle, trying to keep from laughing. finally giving up trying to be silent again, "Love complicates everything, you should know that, it was the same for you and Kama as it was for Jake and me."

Truth's smile sadened, "Do you think he's coming back?"

"He said he was," She answered, "He loves you, he'll come back, it's just a question of when."

The Farris wheel came to a stop and we stepped off, "Truth!" Faith squealed, "They have a Disney Princess ride, can we go on it, Please! The princesses sing and everything!"

"Oh, alright," she groaned at the thought of all the pink singing princesses.

"There it is!" The young girl screeched, bouncing towards a large pink castle. They all piled into the little car, as it set off down the track Truth's last thoughts were, God, please don't let my last moments be in a tiny pink car, surrounded by singing princesses!

Robin sighed, it had been a long night. The fair had been alright, but ever since the photo albums he kept thinking he saw his sisters and some of the other Talons everywhere. Midnight in the fun house, Faith outside the princess castle, Truth in line for the roller coaster, Hope with some blond teen and a kid near the Cotton candy stand, it was all starting to get to him.

"Robin?!?" Raven yelled kicking his ankle.

"Ow! what!" he yelled back irritably.

"I asked if you were okay and you ignored me..." Robin wasn't listening, he was staring at the tall, thin, sliver of a girl at the end of the alleyway. she had wavy black hair that came just short of her shoulders and big, midnight blue eyes. Raven shrieked with rage, "You're doing it again!"

"Mo?" he said uncertianly, the girls head whipped up and her eyes met his for a split second before turned and ran deeper into the alley. Robin frowned, starting to run after her, "Hey Mo!"

He chased her down the alley and around the corner, his team hot on his heels. they all skidded to a stop at the corner, staring after the girl as she seemed to jump into hyper-drive, she vanished out of sight in a matter of seconds.

"Robin!" Raven yelled, she seemed particularly moody today, "What is with you, first you're ignoring us and now you're chasing strange girls down dark alleyways!"

"That girl," Robin said in a worried, uneven tone, "She... she looked... like..."

Raven continued to glare at him, "She looked like Who?"

Robin growled under his breath, turning away from her and shoving his fingers into his hair, "She looked like Morgana, my little sister."
