Hi! I'm Maple, the author. I do recommendation before each story for each chapter so here's the first one. Read The False Prince. Its really good and really well written.

No flames please, but do review. I appreciate feedback. I know its short, but its only the first chapter.

As Monitor I've helped out members of the bat family for years. Now, they want me to help out with this team. They had been adding new members for a while now, but since I don't go into the field I thought I was exempt.

As I didn't have a mask I would be meeting 'the team' as myself. Not that anyone would know me. I'm nobody. I've made sure of that.

I've been in Bludhaven the last couple days, helping set up computers for Nightwing, but today I knew I had to meet this group. I walked to the zeta and let it recognize me. After a flash of light I stepped into the cave.

I fiddled with my jean jacket as I hurried over to Nightwing, "Are they here yet?"

"No," He replied. "They'll be here soon. I wanted to talk to you first." He walked into a living room area sat on the couch before continuing. "What do you feel comfortable telling the team right now?"

I knew this would come up. "I was going to tell them my first name and that I'm Monitor," sat down on the floor in front of the couch. I'd always preferred it to soft and cushy furniture.

"And, your dad?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I'll tell them when I'm ready. Also, can I stay here at the mountain. My landlord is starting to suspect I'm not actually 20." I jumped up as the zeta announce told us of Superboy and Bumblebee's arrival.

"Well, I guess that you finally get to meet the team. Also, I already have a room ready." And off we went to the briefing room.
