In Jump City, Starfire and Raven could not find any trace of Red X or Robin.

Beast Boy found a trail. Tire tracks heading away from the tower. He attempted to track them and deduced that they were leaving Jump City.

Cyborg checked the security video again. Even though he couldn't tell what they were saying, he had been able to make out one word. Maybe he was just hoping that Robin would leave them some kind of hint. Lip reading was only 30% accurate after all.

But, the thought he could make out the name of a certain city;

Gotham.

"Why would Red X take Robin there?" Starfire questioned, her face drawn in worry. She had her hands clutched to her chest where they flickered with her righteous fury. She needed to direct that to the one who had taken Robin and not her friends.

"We're going after him, right?" Beast Boy asked, seeing the frown on Cyborg's face.

"Titans East is down a member since Speedy's taken off and I can't get Kid Flash on the line. Aqualad says they can handle it if we need to go but, this is Gotham we're talking about."

"So?" Raven asked.

"Gotham is home of the Batman. And Batman doesn't like Metas in his city."

"We can use the holo-rings, can we not?" Starfire suggested.

"We're just going to find Robin," Beast Boy added, "it's not like we're going to fight the Joker or anything."

Cyborg really hoped they wouldn't meet the Joker. What he had heard was more than enough reason to avoid crime fighting in Gotham.

"Alright. I'll get the holo-rings running and camouflage the T-car. Pack light team, we're going in to find Robin and that's it."

"What about Red X?" Starfire asked.

"We'll fight him if we have to but, Robin is going to be our main goal. As awesome as Batman is, I don't want to get caught trespassing in his city."

"Agreed," Beast Boy said, although he bounced out of the room, shifting from a bird to a kangaroo to a cheater a little too excited about this.

Tim Drake looked up at the tap at his window. An odd thing, considering he lived near the top of a multi-story building. However, he knew some very odd people and the one currently waving at him tended to visit at times.

"Need some information?" Tim asked as he opened the door to the balcony where Red Hood was standing. The eighteen year old snorted as he pulled off his hood and mask.

"More like, I need a place to crash. Mind if I take your sofa?"

Tim shrugged and told him to go ahead while watching the younger ex-Robin's every move for some hint of why he was here.

Jason curled up around his hood and closed his eyes, ignoring Tim's presence in favour of sleep.

Dick sat on the couch with his arms crossed and trying not to enjoy the movie playing out in front of him. He was constantly reminding himself that Damian and Jason had pulled him away from the Teen Titans without his permission.

Damian had ordered them something to eat and was doing push ups on the floor with a grim frown on his face while he waited for the food to arrive. Dick had been plotting a way to escape but it was difficult. Damian wouldn't leave him alone for a moment.

Dick had tried to sneak off when Damian ordered the food but, Damian had caught him. He had sat on Dick's back while he ordered on the stupid cordless phone.

"If you don't let me leave, then you're keeping me prisoner here," Dick pointed out.

"You're my sixteen year old little brother and this is a penthouse."

"So? I'm emancipated, an adult in the eyes of the law."

Damian rolled his eyes.

"Really, Grayson? Who pays for your fancy tower?"

"Charitable donations, merchandising, some advertising because Starfire enjoys modelling while Cyborg has a few patents which earn him tidy sums often used in upgrading the tower. Wayne Enterprises may have provided start-up costs however, we have paid back the company what was owed and more."

Damian paused to consider that for a moment.

"Really?" This time he was interested and not sarcastic.

Dick nodded.

"How does that work?" Damian asked, grabbing his laptop so Dick could show him the budget.

"I bring pizza!" A cheerful voice greeted from the entrance before Stephanie wheeled into view.

Damian took the pizzas off her lap, scolding her for taking their food. Dick saw it as taking the hot boxes off her lap so she didn't injure herself, not that Damian would admit it.

"What are you doing here, Brown?" Damain demanded to know.

"I noticed that you ordered pizza and decided to come join you, of course!" Stephanie responded with a smile. Her sharp eyes spotted Dick who hadn't been able to look away from her wheelchair. "What do you think?" she asked him, wheeling back and forth. "I spoke to Bruce about putting in some jets and lasers and things but he didn't want to hear it."

"Lasers are impractical. A taser on the other hand…"

"We've been through this, I'm not trusting you to turn my chair into an electric chair. A flying chair, yes. An electric one, no. Never."

"-tt-"

Dick knew that Stephanie had been shot a year after the Teen Titans formed. The Joker had shot her when she opened the door at Commissioner Gordon's house. Stephanie had been there tutoring Barbara. The Joker shot her and she lost the use of her legs.

Dick had been so wrapped up in Slade that he hadn't thought to come back to Gotham when he heard the news. But, now he was standing before Steph in the chair, it hit him how much she had given up.

Steph had loved jumping over rooftops. She had been so dedicated to the life that she hadn't even stopped when Batman had ordered her to. Batman had threatened to give the police her identity, if she didn't stop 'dressing up' and calling herself Batgirl.

Steph had changed her name to 'Spoiler' and kept going, even handing the 'Batgirl' costume and name to Cassandra Cain, Bruce's newest acquisition at the time.

Dick looked at the ground as Steph wheeled over. She took a look at the screen and then at his expression.

"Don't worry about it," she said, slapping him on the back. "I got your card and you're here now, it's all good."

"You're in my penthouse, this is hardly 'good'," Damian grumbled.

"Should I call Colin?" Steph asked, "we can make this a thing."

"What thing?" Damian said, his shoulders slouching and his expression pained.

"This! Pizza, movies and your little brothers! Although, we seem to be missing two."

"No we're not," Damian said.

"Well, whatever," Steph said, ignoring Damian, "we'll make do without them and invite them next time."

"Next time?" Dick questioned.

"Yes! There will be a next time before you go back Jump. Or are you staying? Don't tell me something happened with Starfire." Steph pressed forward and Dick flushed at the mention of his girlfriend. "You looked so happy in Tokyo."

"Tokyo?"

"How do you know about that?" Dick squeaked, his heart thudding. Steph had seen it! And probably forward it to everyone in the family. Except Damian since he didn't seem to know.

"Google 'Teen Titans in Tokyo', it's like the first thing to come up," Steph told Damian, "along with a bunch of pictures of Beast Boy belting out tunes."

"Yeah. That happened."

"So, you must tell me about it," Steph said, rolling over next to the recliner. She gave it a pat, indicating for Dick to sit there. It was then that Dick realised Damian had removed the rug which had been placed in the living room area. And the coffee table had been pushed up against the wall, leaving plenty of space between the couch, recliner and TV.
