A.N. Thank you all my epic reviewers. So, I have received e-mails to do Supermartian. I've also received a lot of songs. I won't be able to do them all at once, so I guess I'll just have to update quickly then. I have also received requests for Roy/Dick slash. But this was meant to be a Dick/Wally slash. Do you want me to make them a 3 some between them?

"What the…" mouthed KF. There in front of the stage, was over a hundred teenagers sitting all over the grass or standing around talking. The ones who were from the hospital had a red wristband on their wrists. Some of them were in wheelchairs or attached to a breathing machine or some other device, but you could tell from their eyes that they were really excited.
Superman stepped forward and tapped a microphone. All the teens instantly separated into their own groups. The teenage hero's noticed that these large groups had the same t-shirt. They found out why half a second later.
"SUPERMAN!" Came a large scream from black with red shielded shirts. They were clearly from Metropolis.
"Okay, you all ready for some music?" Superman asked, the reply came instantly from all the groups. The scream were so loud, Superboy swore that glass from a distant building shattered.
"They brought groups from all our cities…" murmured KF, stunned at the sight in front of him. "Well, all but Miss Martian, Artemis, and Aqualad." A second later, the teens were shoved into the spotlight.
"So, the people who are going to sing today are Aqualad," a cheer came from blue shirted teens with Atlantis on it, "Miss Martian," a catcall started from white shirted teens with red stripes across them in a X pattern, "Artemis," a loud yell came from a tank top wearing group with green arrows across them, "Superboy," a cry arose from the shield wearing group, "Speedy," a sigh came from Red Arrow, but cries from a group of people wearing a hat similar to his old seemed to appease him, "Kid Flash," screams from teens wearing yellow and red shirts with a lightning bolt came up, " and finally, Robin." Superman said. When Robin's name came up there was a high pitched squeals from the groups wearing tight red shirts with the R symbol on it. Robin turned a red color, which only made the cheers louder.
"Give our group a minute to get ready then they're all yours," Superman finished to screams again. The team though that was the worst choice of words that there could be. They'd rather be facing the Joker then this. But Aqualad took a deep breath and took the bowl with all the songs in it and they all headed to the back stage. Their mentors had conveniently disappeared a second later.
"Ready?" asked Aqualad. They all nodded.
"Here goes nothing then," he states and pulls out a slip of paper. He looks at it for a second then looks toward Robin.
"You're up first, singing Jar of Hearts," he informed the now very pale boy wonder. Robin jerked his head once. He looked ready to faint.
"It won't be that bad," KF said, trying to sound positive. That was, until Robin shot him a look that could have made plants shrivel. He took a deep breath, squared his shoulders, and stepped onto the stage. The reaction was immediate. Everyone stopped talking and stared at him. He took another breath and nodded to the DJ. He picked up a microphone as the soft music started. He opened his mouth and started to sing;
No, I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
At this point Robin started to show some emotion other than fear. You could see the pain and anger in his face, the sincerity of the words he was singing was beginning to show.
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
He was now facing the crowd without fear. They were really quiet, maybe a little stunned how he was reacting to this song.
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Robin was singing boldly now. Sounding a little stronger than he had in the beginning. He glanced once back at his friends, then turned back to his friends. Wait, why did this song sound familiar to him? Speedy wondered.
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
He now realized what this song symbolized with growing dread. It was basically of him and Robin, how Robin must have felt when he left. He felt horrible. Even more so when he heard Robins voices shake a tiny bit.
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Robin's voice began to soften. He dropped his voice a little to finish the song with the last few words;
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
He sang sadly. There was a moment of silence before the whole crowd started cheering. A lot of the girls were wiping their eyes, and even a few of the guys were too. The rest looked sad for Robin to sing such a sad song. He turned a walked off the stage. Miss Martian was crying and even Artemis was wiping away a few tears. Superboy looked upset, Aqualad looked worried, and Kid Flash looked he was about to cry. Speedy didn't do anything other than walk up to Robin once he got the stage and embrace him.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
Robin nodded. No more words were needed to be said. He understood more than Speedy could ever say.
"Are you crying?" he asked in an amazed tone, reaching up to wipe dampness away from the older teens face.
"No! I'm just sweating through my eyes," he said in a matter –o-fact tone. Robin couldn't hold back a grin at that. The two headed back to the others. They quickly rearranged their expressions and looked away as Robin came in with Speedy. Aqualad quickly grabbed the song bowl and pulled out the next slip of paper. He read it over and looked up.
"Spee- I mean-," Aqualad started, but Speedy lifted his hand.
" I'll go by Speedy. But only for tonight," he said, sounding resigned.
Aqualad nodded and finished his sentence. "Speedy, your singing Nice Guys Finish Last by Cobra Starship."

A.N. So how is it? I know it's a little cheesy. But the first person who reviewed me wanted this song, so yeah. But I promise to do most, if not all, of the songs you wanted. I might do two songs in every chapter if I'm hard pressed to. Please review and tell me what you think.
