Chapter 1: Grounded For Life

"Kid Flash, what's your status?"Asked Artemis.

"All clear here."said Kid Flash."What are we looking for again?"

"Something unnormal."said Robin.

FEW HOURS AGO

"For the past two weeks, someone has been stealing weapons from several companies.It seems that the thief uses a device to get in and out of the building.And every time he uses the device, it sends out a powerful energy.An hour ago, that same energy was detected in an abandoned factory.Your mission is to investigate and observe, but do not engage. Understand?"said Batman.

"Yes sir,"The Young Justice replied together.

PRESENT TIME

"Found anything yet?"asked M'gann.

"No. But we should proceed with caution."said Aqualad.

Just then, Robin saw something move past him."Hold on,I think I saw something.I'm following it."

"Be careful.We're heading your way."said Superboy.

Suddenly,the thief stopped, Robin observed him from a distance.They were in a room full of boxes,the thief opened one of them and Robin saw that it was the stolen weapons Batman had mentioned. Just then,the thief took out a device of some kind.Robin realized that was the device he had used to get in and out of buildings. Robin couldn't let the thief get away.

"I'm going in." Robin told the team.

"Rob wait!Batman said not to engage!Wait for us.We're coming to you." said Kid Flash.

"There's no time.He's getting away!"said Robin.

Just then, the device the thief was holding started glowing."Hey, stop!!"Robin shouted.He ran towards the thief.The team arrived, but it was too late.Robin was closing in to the thief.The device glowed brighter.

"ROBIN!!"The team shouted.

When the light was gone, so was Robin.

The team was trying(and failing)to explain what had happened in the abandoned factory.

"...And there was this bright light and-,"said KF.

"...We told him to not engage but-,"said M'gann.

"...The thief was getting away so-,"said Artemis.

"Enough!"said Batman."Aqualad, explain."

After Aqualad explained everything that had, the Young Justice were an emotional wrecked.The Justice League tried to keep it together for their partners.Superman looked over at Batman, but his expression was unreadable.

"After this meeting, I want you all to go and see Black Canary, your mission is done for the day.The League and I will figure out the next step.Dismissed."said Batman.

The league and the young justice then proceed to leave the meeting room.Superman placed a hand on Batman's shoulder."We'll bring him home."Superman assured him.

"I know." siad Batman.

Location:Unknown

Robin opened his eyes.His head was pounding.He was still in the factory, but the thief and the team were nowhere to be found.

"Umm guys?Hellooo?"said Robin.

There was no answer.Robin tried to use his wrist computer but there wasn't any signal.He decided to get out of the factory and find a zeta beam to get back to the watchtower.Just as he was finding an exit,he saw a billboard from one of the factory's window.There was a date on it.

"That's weird."Robin thought. The year on the date was wrong, it was for eight years into the future.

Suddenly, a batarang came flying towards him.Robin dodged it.

Before he knew it,he's surrounded by the Young Justice, an older young justice.

"Uhh guys...what's going on?And why do guys look older?"said Robin.

"Uhh Rob-Red Robin...He's wearing a robin suit."asked Robin

"Yes, I can see that."said Red Robin.

"Who are you?"

"Robin."said Robin."Who are you?"

Then it hit him.The reason why the thief could get in and out of buildings without getting caught, and the reason why his team looked older.Before anyone could say anything, he asked"What year is it?"

"Excuse me?"saidArtemis.

"The year?What year is it?"said Robin.

"Uhmm..."Kid Flash told him the year.Robin seems to be processing this information.

Aqualad spoke up."Enough of this.We should restrain him and take-."

Robin groaned. "I am so grounded."
