I adopted this story from DenniBenni, so I'm not plagiarizing people! Don't worry (be happy). The only thing I changed was taking out the cuss words. I don't cuss, and I won't post anything with any cuss words in it (so I apologize if Jason seems slightly OOC to anyone) Let me know if I miss any.

Chapter 1

It was Saturday evening and the Young Justice team sat around the living area of the mountain. Recently there hadn't been much activity, so they had been bored out of their minds. Kaldur was being pretty patient, along with Megan and Conner. Artemis and Wally couldn't seem to sit in the same room for ten minutes without getting on each other's nerves. Then there was Robin, the only one on the team who was never called by his real name.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell them his name. He wanted to very badly, but Batman wouldn't allow it. That upset him that he couldn't tell his closest friends what his name was. That he was Tim Drake. That he was a thirteen year old who was adopted by billionaire, Bruce Wayne. He wanted to tell them since they had revealed their identities. But, Batman was paranoid. Always so paranoid.

He couldn't really blame the man. Someone could do a lot with that knowledge. And since Batman didn't kill…it wasn't like you could silence the information. It would be everywhere. Tim knew that. So he knew that was why Batman was protecting him.

But, now they sat. Wally lying upside down on the couch while eating chips. Artemis messing around with her bow and arrows. Superboy…well, he was just staring blankly at the T.V. screen trying to understand what was going on in the show. Megan was in the kitchen trying to cook. Aqualad, along with Superboy tried to follow the show that was playing. And Robin. He stared at everyone. Trying to understand them. Trying to understand how different they were, but they could somehow all work together in missions.

Suddenly Wally groaned, "I am so sick of just sitting here!" Robin looked at Artemis. He knew she was going to say something. "Oh stop complaining! We're all having to sit here." Wally threw a chip at her. She immediately pulled back her bow pointing an arrow at him. "Artemis," Aqualad warned. They knew she wouldn't shoot him, but "Accidents" could happen.

Wally smirked, "Yes, Arty. Put it away." His voice was drenched with sarcasm making Artemis clench her teeth. Robin had to suppress a laugh. He always found their arguments to be the funniest thing. Interesting too, even though Artemis won most of the time.

"Young Justice report to the briefing room,"Everyone's heads shot up in excitement when they heard the voice on the intercom. "Finally!" Wally exclaimed jumping from his seat and running towards the briefing room. The rest of the team followed, just not nearly as fast.

They walked In to see Wally already standing there smiling happily. Robin smiled also seeing the excitement in his friend's face. All of their faces. Batman and Red Tornado stood there in front of a large hologram screen. Batman had his expressionless face. "Batman! What you got for us?" Wally asked.

Once the adult knew everyone was in the room he turned to the screen. "Recently there has been a drug trade going along in the cities of Metropolis, Central City, Star City, and Gotham. I'm sending the team in for an observation mission only. No more than that." Wally slouched at the knowledge they would only be able to observe.

"Do not in any way engage anyone in a fight," Batman strained it hoping they would listen. All of them nodded and were given the location of the shipping dock. Once everyone left Robin turned to Batman and said smiling, "Don't worry, I'll keep them in line." Giving his cackle he left along with everyone else.

Batman stood there until he heard quiet footsteps behind him. "I didn't think you would allow him to go on this mission," a voice said. He turned to see the face of Superman. Batman didn't reply. The Man of Steel continued, "I mean, I didn't think you would want them to have the chance to cross paths." Batman shook his head, "Red Hood hasn't been sighted in Gotham in two months. He's probably busy at one of his other drug trades."

"Well, there is always the chance," Superman replied. "Beside you're not known for your good luck you know?" Batman glared at him and said, "I told them to only observe tonight. I trust they'll follow my orders." Superman shrugged, "You know children. They're rebellious and do as they please." With that he walked out leaving Batman to wonder if he had been wise to send Tim on this mission when there was a chance the Red Hood was around. Maybe the fates would be kind. Or not…
