I've been having writers block on all my other stories, so i wrote this one hoping it would help get me through my block and i can finish some stories that I've started. This story is set some time in between season one and two, Dick is still Robin and its still just the original team. Dick and Zatanna are 17, Raquel is 18, Wally, Artemis and Kaldur are 19 and Megan and Conner are presumed around the same age even though their ages are like 50 and 4 respectively.
I dont own young justice and please no correcting my grammar

Mount Justice
Dick and Wally were in the area of the cave they have deemed the "Garage". Its where they keep the bio ship and everyone's motorcycle. The two friends had bought an old Camaro and been working on restoring it in their downtime as a way to make sure they still work out time for each other after getting into relationshps. They made sure that they only work on it together and to work on it at least once a week and it had been working wonderfully. Plus Artemis and Zatanna enjoy watching them do "Manly" things, so they try to work as much as possible. Today they had lost track of time and Zatanna and Artemis had come in and started yelling at them for being neglectful. They were going on a big group date as a whole team to help take some of the first date pressure off of Kaldur and Raquel and hadn't gotten ready yet. Wally sped off and Artemis ran after him because she wasn't done yelling yet, leaving Dick and Zatanna in the garage.
"Sorry Zee, we got side tracked, I'll get showered and dressed fast. I even brought my clothes to the cave so i dont have to go home" Dick said
"Just hurry up, we wanted to get dinner before the movie since its going to get out late" Zatanna said
Dick walked over to the sink to wash the grease off his hands.
"OK, do we know where were going to go yet?" Dick asked drying his hands
"Yeah, were going to the BBQ place on 4th street" Zatanna said checking her phone
"Sweet, I love that place" Dick said tossing his paper towels in the trash. Just before Zatanna could reply, Dicks Halo-computer on his wrist dinged with an alarm.
"What was that?" Zatanna asked "i thought Batman said we have the night off"
"We do, he's off world with some other leaguers, But i made sure to set the Bat-Computer alerts to come to my watch in case something really big came up that the police couldn't handle" Dick replied pulling up one of the caves Halo-screens to check the alert. "Its a prison break, but not Arkham, the police should be able to handle it, let me just check who it is that escaped"
Dick pressed a few buttons and a face popped up. Zatanna looked over his shoulder to see if it was someone she recognized. When she noticed that Robin hadn't moved or said anything, she looked up only to see him frozen with a look of furry and fear at the same time.
"Who is it Robin? "Zatanna said confused at the conflicted emotions he was showing
"I have to go" Dick said walking towards his bike
"Why? This guy doesn't seem so bad?' Zatanna said looking at his info
"He's a monster" He replied icily
"Well let us go with you, we can catch him quick and get back to our night off" Zatanna said quickly changing them into their uniforms with a quick spell
"NO" Robin snapped "Sorry, but i need to do this alone"
Zatanna stepped back in shock at his behavior. He never acts like this unless its someone really bad like the Joker or Scarecrow. But this guy wasn't even held in Arkham, how bad can he be?
"If he is a monster like you said, I'm not letting you go alone. You said Batman was off world, so you'll need some back up" Zatanna said walking to her bike " we'll just tell the others that we'll meet them for the movie, this guy looks like a piece of cake"
"I said your not coming" Robin said sternly
"Why?" Zatanna said confused
"This is something i need to do alone" he replied putting his helmet on
"Why? So you can impress Batman?" Zatanna said sounding a little meaner then she intended
"This has nothing to do with him" Dick replied getting annoyed at her insistence
"Well its not like you can stop me from following you, so you might as well just let me help and stop arguing already' Zatanna said defiantly
"Wanna bet?" Dick said under his breath
before Zatanna could even ask what he said, Robin Jumped next to her and handcuffed her hand to the handle bars of her bike, and took the keys and tossed them across the cave. After the initial shock of his speed wore off Zatanna just giggled thinking all she needed was a spell to unlock her self and to walk over and get the still in view keys, he had saved himself like 12 seconds max.
"Since i know your laughing because you think you'll get out of those with a spell, check your face." Dick said over his shoulder
Zatanna reached up and felt tape over her mouth that shocked her hand when she tried to take it off.
'When did he do that?' Zatanna thought
"The others will find you eventually, I'm sorr Zee" Robin said as he sped out of the cave through the vehicle Zeta tube.
25 mins later
'He is in so much trouble when i see him' Zatanna thought as she sat there stuck to her bike still. The others had still not come by looking for the two missing heroes and she had shocked herself four times now trying to get the tape off hoping it only had a certain amount of power.
"Found her" Megan shouted
The rest of the team came over and were speechless over what they saw.
"Uhh Zee? What are you doing?" Artemis asked
Zatanna just glared at her
"Is someone in the cave?" Megan said getting in a fighting stance
Zatanna shook her head no mumbled something and just shook her hands in the cuffs. Conner walked over and broke the cuffs.
"Why didn't you just pull off the tape and say a spell to free yourself?" Wally asked
Zatanna just glared and made a gesture inviting Wally to pull the tape. He did so and pulled his hand back after he got shocked.
"OW, is that Robins shocking tape?" He said
Zatanna nodded
"Did he do this to you?" Kaldur asked as he pulled the tape off
"OWW, yes he did" Zatanna said rubbing her cheeks" How did you pull that off without getting shocked?"
"Because of my powers I am immune to shocks" he replied " Why did Robin handcuff you t your motorcycle and make sure you could not use a spell t free yourself"
"I dont know, he started freaking out over some prison break in Gotham. When i said i was going with him to give back up since Bats is off world, he got mad and cuffed me" Zatanna said
"He went after some Arkham freak by himself?" Wally said
"Thats the weirdest part. This guy wasn't in Arkham, he doesn't seem that bad at all, but Robin said he was a monster." Zatanna said confused
"Who was it?" Wally asked
"I never heard of him, he's been in prison for nearly a decade after getting caught by Batman" Zatanna replied "His picture is still up on that panel over there"
Wally ran over to the screen and his eyes went wide and mouth. Fell open. "SHIT' he yelled before speeding off and coming back two seconds later in his Kid Flash uniform holding Artemis' uniform and bow and quiver
"Hurry, everyone suit up and get on the Bio Ship, We need to find Robin now" Wally said seriously
"But why? What's so bad about this guy?" Conner said looking at the picture
"I'll explain on our way to Gotham, hurry up" Wally shouted
10 min later
The team was suited up and in the Bio ship on their way to Gotham.
"You want to explain what's going on now Baywatch?" Artemis said "We're almost there and all you've done is try to make calls that aren't getting answered"
"Yeah, why is Robin acting so weird?" Zatanna asked "Who is this guy?"
"His Name is Tony Zucco, a crime boss from Gotham. He was the first guy Robin helped Batman arrest" Wally said looking ahead making no eye contact
"So this is about his ego then?" Conner. Said crossing his arms
"Your going to feel like a real asshole once you find out what this guy did" Wally said staring Conner down
"What did he do?" Megan asked
Everyone stared at Wally as he just turned around to face forward again
"He killed Robin's parents"
