Hey guys, so this is my first time writing for either Young Justice or Teen Titans, so I apologise if they're OOC. Please review? I don't want to bug, but they mean so much to me! See you at the end of the chapter! Oh, one more thing, I have only seen about half an episode of Teen Titans Go, and I don't consider it canon to the series, so don't start telling me about how my story is wrong because of something from that.

If I owned either T.V. Show (or their respective comics) not only would said show not be cancelled, but I would not be writing a fanfiction, this story would be canon.
Jump City, 24th July 3:00pm
Conner glanced around at the buildings as they walked down the street. It seemed like an ordinary day in an ordinary city; people bustling about, coming back from late lunch breaks or heading to or from meetings, focused on technology or a newspaper or just getting to wherever they needed to go on time.
No-one paid attention to the four seemingly normal teens, they were wearing indiscreet clothes and leaving everyone else alone, people passing probably assumed they were on their way home from school or heading to some extra curricular activity. Conner was wondering if the information they had received was false and nothing was odd about this city (except for the T-shaped tower in the middle of the bay, that was weird). Then he noticed the shadow, the others were to busy trying to find shifty looking individuals in the people heading past but he had been paying attention to the buildings instead, meaning he noticed when the shadow swung overhead. If anyone in the crowd noticed it they ignored it.
Guys, I just saw a shadow swing across the street, heading into that alley. He informed them telepathically while stopping to get his drink bottle out of his bag, in reality stalling for time.
Anyone else see it? What did it look like? Kaldur inquired, eyes flicking to the alleyway in question while appearing to those around as just being impatient with Conner.
Sorry guys, I was looking at the pedestrians, Megan replied.
Ditto, with me, sorry, Zatanna stated, What do we want to do about it?
Do we have any better leads? To Conner it seemed slightly that the others were implying that he had been imagining it.
No. Follow, discreetly. Kaldur thought, then out-loud he said: "You finished? 'Cause coach'll kill us if we're late again," turning to Conner.
"I'm done," Conner said putting the bottle away, "Come on." He casually led the way across the street, as if this had been their intention the whole time, the others followed.
Once they were safely across the street and (probably less-safely) into the alley, Kaldur asked again,
What did it look like?
Well... like a shadow, or someone in black jumping across the rooftops, - it almost looked like … Batman. Conner replied.
Do you guys think that it could be...? Zatanna asked
Let's not jump to conclusions, it's highly unlikely that he is here, let's stick to the mission. Miss M. are you picking anything up? Kaldur efficiently returned their minds to the mission and much more likely explanation for the shadow that Conner had seen.
I'm not sure I mean there's something but it looks like... Megan got cut off as a voice rang out from the shadows:
"You know, I didn't expect to find members of Young Justice wandering through Jump when I went patrolling, in fact, you guys are the last people I expected to see here – well some of them, anyway. What are you doing here?" The four teens were so shocked that all Kaldur got out was:
"Robin?"
"No, I'm Superman, who do you think?" he walked out of the shadows and the four of them just stared at him for a minute.
"Are you guys having a telepathic conversation or are you just surprised to see me?" Robin said then when that got no response either, he continued:
"I mean, We haven't been exactly secret about where I've been, but it could be the outfit or..." he trailed off and then Kaldur managed to find his voice,
"We were not aware that you were in the area, it is surprising to see you again... you've changed since we saw you last..."
"Robin!" exclaimed Megan, rushing forward to hug the slightly surprised teen.
"It's good to see you too, M'gann," he replied gently removing himself from her hold, "All of you," he looked at the others, drinking in how they'd changed since he saw them last, "But what are you doing here?" he finished.
"We could ask you the same question," Conner replied, then burst out: "Dude, Where have you been?! Why did you leave?! How can you be so calm?!" the last was directed at everyone else, not just Robin.
"Well, let's see, I've been here mostly – as you'd know if you watched the news, we haven't exactly been hiding, – I left because – well I'd really rather not go into that but I can assure you that it was nothing to do with you guys – I didn't want to leave you but … well, I did, and I always knew that sooner or later, we'd bump into each other again, it was inevitable which is why I'm so calm. Now, I've answered your questions, so can you answer mine? - why are you guys here?" he looked at each of them individually, as if searching for something, whatever it was, he seemed to find it and then proceeded to stand, looking at them, waiting for an answer. Eventually Kaldur found his tongue again,
"We... after you left, about two months after?" he looked at the others for confirmation, they nodded "Wally... he'd been getting more agitated after you left and one day... he just …snapped, said that he couldn't take it any more so he left, quit the team and helping Flash, said he was going solo like you and Red Arrow. We haven't heard from him since." he looked at Robin and could tell he was slightly shocked, and he wasn't trying to hide it.
"So you came to Jump City of all places, trying to find Wally... why?" Robin looked around again. Zatanna spoke up
"We received a tip from an anonymous source telling us that Wally had been abducted by a group amateur bad-guys stationed in Jump City, We had no other leads, so we decided to come and investigate. We never expected to run into you here."
"Doubt you expected to see me either, then?" another voice spoke up from the shadows, it sounded vaguely familiar to the four Young Justice members, but Robin was the one who identified the new-comer,
"Roy? What are you doing here?" he asked as Roy (otherwise known as Red Arrow or Speedy) stepped into the light.
"How many people are hiding in the shadows here?" Conner asked, "Anyone else want to come out now?" Roy ignored him and responded to Robin's question,
"I got the same tip that these guys did, took some time off from the team to come investigate, didn't expect to bump into you guys, I was coming to find you though Rob, thought you might like to help?" it almost wasn't a question.
"Of course I'll help," said Robin with a frown, "But last I spoke to Wally he was fine – did they say when he was abducted?"
"No" was the unanimous reply,
"Okay, well I'm not sure who would do this, I've got a few ideas, I'll need to look into it a bit though, give me an hour and I'll have a name – or at least a list of suspects, I'm assuming you guys intend to continue wandering around the city? I'll come and find you when I get something solid." Robin started walking away from the others, then looked back,
"You coming Roy?" he called out,
"Sure," Roy ran after him.
Once the others were out of sight the four teens all looked at each other,
"He's changed," commented Zatanna "Not sure if it's good or not..." Megan put her hand on Zatanna's shoulder,
"He's been alone for almost two years now, of course he's changed, but he'll be fine, we may have set out to find Wally but..." She trailed off, they all knew what she was going to say anyway: 'Getting Robin back as well would be great, for us and probably him as well.'
"That's not necessarily true," commented Kaldur, when the others all turned to look at him he continued "Did you notice that a few times he said 'we' instead of 'I' and he's acting as more of a leader now than he ever did before."
"What are you saying Kaldur?" asked Megan
"I'm saying I think he's found another team." Kaldur replied sadly, "And he doesn't appear to want to leave it." he finished, then turned and walked back out of the alley way, the others right behind him.
Jump City, 24th July 4:00pm
(half an hour after leaving the alley way)
The four teens had been wandering around the city for half an hour after the unexpected encounter with Robin and Red Arrow and they were stopping for pizza.
Well after an hour of searching, covering most of the C.B.D. and running into Robin and Red Arrow, we still haven't found anything. Commented Conner I hope Robin and Red are getting along better than us.
Well they do have a kind of pointless mission, we could have told them who these criminals were if they'd asked. Zatanna replied, Speaking of which, why didn't Red tell Robin that a group know as 'Teen Titans' were behind this?
Maybe he wasn't told that? Suggested Megan I mean we only found out because we asked, maybe he didn't think to ask.
It's possible Kaldur consented, The best idea we have to go off at the moment.
Or maybe he told Robin and they're trying to find out more about this group? Conner suggested
That is a possibility as well Kaldur replied, we will hopefully know soon, if Robin gets back to us. Just then the pizza arrived and Conner asked the waitress the one question that had been bugging him all day:
"What's with that T-shaped tower?"
Ohh... I hope you liked :) I have an idea for a sequel, which you'll see when you get to the end, but if no-one reads this, then I wont bother writing the sequel.
If you noticed any mistakes or plot holes, tell me and I'll fix them or explain them. Please review, even if it's just to say what you had for breakfast!
