Half an hour later they were on their way. KF had run forward to check that the team hadn't killed each other while he had been gone and that Robin would still have a team to lead. Everyone but Robin was in the T-car while Robin had taken his motorbike. He didn't want to leave it behind.
They arrived at Mount Justice several hours later only to be greeted by screams.
"WHY DID YOU BREAK THE TV AGAIN?" Robin recognised the voice of Artemis as he walked into the cave.
"YOU TOLD ME TOO!" there was Superboy Robin guessed as he heard another voice.
"NO I JUST SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE JUST AS MUCH ACTION HAPPENING ON THE –" Artemis stopped shouting when Robin entered the room. Superboy hadn't realised the boy had entered the room yet and just stared daggers at the female archer.
"Wow this place is HUGE!" shouted Beastboy breaking the tension. He hadn't even realised the tension had existed he had been so overwhelmed by the look of the place.
Superboy turned to the doorway and saw Robin standing there awkwardly with Beastboy squeezing past him into the room. Slowly the rest of the Teen Titans crowded around their leader and stared at the large living room.
Both Superboy and Artemis were now looking in confusion at their old friend and complete strangers who were now coming into the room.
"Um..." Robin muttered trying to break the second silence of the day. He couldn't think of anything to say.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew past the Titans and the creator of this wind stood grinning between Robin and his team and the two young justice members.
"Introduction in order first!" exclaimed Kid Flash trying to break the ice and stop any argument or confusion that might break out.
"Ok, so," he continued. Pointing to his fellow Young Justice members he said, "Artemis and Superboy meet," Kid Flash moved his arm in pointing at each member individually as he said their names and continued onto the Titans, "Beastboy, Starfire, Raven and Cyborg. Oh and don't forget Robin."
Each person in the room (except KF) raised their hand slightly to confirm it was them by giving an awkward wave. After another long silence Artemis spoke up.
"Well, now the pleasantries are out of the way, just wondering, not saying it not, uh... want for a better word, nice to see you Robin but what are you doing here and," she raised her voice, "who the HELL are they?"
"Didn't you hear the annoying Kid who never shuts up?" Raven said, "That answers you second question anyway."
Artemis scowled at the rude girl.
Robin stepped forward, frowning at Kid Flash.
"Let me guess," he said to the speedster, "you didn't tell them anything about this did you?"
Kid Flash looked up at Robin and shook his head.
Robin sighed, "KF came and told me that everything was going crap up here and Aqualad was hurt and you guys needed someone to lead you. That answers your first question Arty. In answer to your second question this," he gestured to his fellow Titans, "is my team. The Teen Titans."
Artemis considered what Robin had just said for a few minutes. She didn't mind the idea of working under Robin. She still missed him, heck he was still her little brother in her mind, but she didn't know his team. They were... different. None of them looked normal. One looked like a Goth and probably had some sort of weird Gothic power, one of them was green, no offence to M'gan but still it probably meant he had powers too, one was a firkin robot, or at least half of one. The last member she looked at was orange and floating so she definitely had powers. She had nothing against hero's with powers but she was the only one on her team without powers and she didn't like the idea of more people with powers (if some of them could even be called people at all). At least she would have Robin to join her powerless parade.
"I have no objections I guess." Artemis finally said after considering the situation.
Superboy on the other hand considered it differently.
"You left us and NOW you want to come back!" he shouted.
"Superboy," Robin said trying to think of a response. He finally gathered his thoughts and spoke out as the leader he was, "Look, you have every right to hate me. I'm sorry I left but I had my reasons and this," he waved to his fellow team members, "is the reason I didn't come back. I'm not here to take charge, just to fill in for Aqualad until he is able to resume. If you don't want me here I'll go but if you need a leader I'll stay." Robin then added softly, "It would also be nice to see you guys again."
Superboy's face softened at this final comment.
"I did it!" Kid Flash exclaimed. Everyone looked at him, he continued, "I broke the ice and nobody is trying to kill each other. Personally I consider that an achievement if I am to be honest, I mean how many -"
"Shut it Kid Mouth before I kill you!" Artemis screamed. She couldn't stand another word from this boy. All he did all day was talk and worst of all it was just talk about nothing in particular.
Beastboy laughed at the scared look on the speedsters face. It was a look of complete fear and of wondering whether or not she would actually do it. Beastboy then turned into a small bird and started to inspect the entire mountain. There was a squeal from the kitchen and M'gan ran out shouting and screaming.
When she came into the entertainment room she didn't see Robin and his friends and shouted at Superboy and Artemis.
"There's a bird in the kitchen!" she squealed, "Why is there a bird in the kitchen?"
She glared at Superboy, "you like bringing wild animals home" she shouted. Superboy rose into the air as M'gan continued her rant "Why in the whole of earth would you bring a BIRD into the mountain? Are you trying to destroy the kitchen? Are you –"
She spotted Robin. He looked almost... scared. He had never seen his friend like that. With her focus drawn to her old friend Superboy fell to the ground with a loud thud. She stared at him for a few seconds almost tempted not to believe her own eyes. The anger on her face vanished and tears formed in her eyes as she ran over to the boy wonder. Her reaction was so unexpected that when she flung her arms over Robin's neck he almost fell over.
Starfire watched as this other girl showed her affection to Robin and didn't know how to respond. Was this his other girlfriend or was this his ex girlfriend?
Raven saw the shock and sadness in Starfire's eyes and answered her silent question.
"On earth," she said to Starfire, "if someone has missed someone else like a family member then they hug them, it doesn't always mean that they love them."
Starfire relaxed at this and Robin realised what she was talking about. He got out of his hug with M'gan and saw the tears running down her face.
"Robin," she said as she stared at the domino mask covering his eyes, "where did you go? Why did you go?"
"Friend Robin," Starfire said before Robin could respond, "Why do they all ask the same question?"
"Because," responded Artemis, "he hasn't answered the any of the questions we've asked him."
"It's complicated," he answered, "I had my reasons."
"Rob is gonna fill in for Aqualad for a while." Kid Flash said answering M'gan's unanswered question of why he was here.
"Well if you're going to be staying here for a while might as well get to know each other," Kid Flash said breaking yet another silence, "the names Wally West"
"I see you're still as stupidly trusting as always," Robin muttered as his friend took of his mask.
"Hey," he responded, "if you trust 'em, I trust 'em"
"My name's Miss Martian and my mars name is M'gan but you can call me Megan" M'gan said following Wally's example.
"Connor Kent," said Connor dully.
"Artemis Crook" said Artemis. She already wasn't wearing her mask so she just looked at the other team.
"Hello friends," Starfire said happily, her voice dulled down a bit as she continued, "um, we do not have other names. We all know each other as our own names."
The Teen Titans (except for Robin) nodded.
"Don't tell me Rob hasn't told you what his name is either!" Wally shouted as he stared at the other team. They hadn't really thought he had another personality. They had always seen him in his costume and had always referred to him as Robin.
"What do you expect Wally, Robin wouldn't tell anyone if he wouldn't tell us. Would you?" M'gan asked.
"When I met these guys I haven't actually even been my secret identity. I'm always Robin now." Robin said. A wide grin suddenly appeared on his face and he said, "if you guys really haven't worked out who I am then you're really dumb"
He laughed at his them when they looked at one another.
"How were we supposed to guess who you were?" Asked Artemis.
Robin laughed again.
"I live in Gotham, I ran away, I have gadgets that would cost a fortune. Oh and I was 14," Robin hinted. When none of them responded he laughed again.
"Anyway," said Wally suspiciously as his friend continued to laugh, "everyone like the idea of Robin staying?"
The Young Justice team looked at each and then back at Wally and nodded.
"Right, now that's out of the way my stomach is grumbling louder than a volcano so I'm just gonna..." Wally was gone in a split second and noise could be heard from the kitchen.
Cyborg and Beastboy looked at each other with pure delight in their eyes... They had found another food loving hero.
"Robin," They chorused with loud pleas
Robin looked at his friends and gave an exaggerated sigh and said, "Second room on the right"
With that Beastboy and Cyborg shot of in the direction of the kitchen.
I have a feeling those three are going to get on just fine Robin thought as he saw his friends running for the kitchen.
"Um, friend Robin," Starfire asked, "where will we be sleeping?"
Robin looked back at Starfire and then at his old team mates.
"Robin can have his old room back," Artemis said, "and we have enough spare rooms for you guys."
"Robin," said M'gan suspiciously eyeing the door leading to the kitchen, "is my kitchen going to be alright? Wally's bad enough but-" she was cut off by a loud SMASH.
"SORRY!" Came a loud shout from the kitchen. By the sound of it, it was all three of them in the kitchen.
M'gan looked horrified as she stared at the door way and then shot an angry look at Robin.
"Well, um..." started Robin nervously, "BB and Cyborg won't leave much of a mess," Robin sounded hopefully, he seemed to be saying this more to himself then to M'gan, "and I'm sure Wally will clear up as well." This was said as a pure guess and with pure hope that he was right. His words seemed to calm her anyway.
"Why don't you show us the rooms." Said Raven before another argument could be started.
"This way," stated Superboy who started leading the way to the bed chambers.
Everyone followed.
M'gan started talking to Starfire about what planet each other was from and different galaxies they had visited and discussed what they knew about Robin and so on and so forth. Meanwhile Raven and Superboy were at the front of the little group and seemed content walking in silence. Robin and Artemis were at the back standing a few feet away from the chattering aliens having a very awkward silence.
Finally they arrived at a door that looked like most of the other doors they had past but they could see that there was something different here by the way Robin looked. He opened the door and switched on the light. It was his old room. It looked exactly the same as when he had left.
"Robin," M'gan said, "everything is where you left it. We haven't touched anything I swear."
Robin nodded as the girl spoke but didn't really acknowledge anything she said.
Robin walked into his room and flopped on his bed. It was HIS bed. His bed at the tower was nice but this bed was really nice.
Robin then shot of the bed and started searching the room. When he had left he had forgotten something but had been too scared to come and claim it back. The picture he had of the flying Graysons. He couldn't find it.
All his friends looked for at him wondering what he was looking for.
"Friend Robin," Starfire asked nervously, "can we help you in your search?"
As she said that they all saw Robin pick up a piece of paper and pull it into his chest.
"Well at least your room looks back to normal," Artemis said with a small grin when she saw Robin was happy. He had thrown his clothes he had left behind, things on desktops, everything was on the floor.
Robin turned his head to face her and she could see a grin on his face.
"Come on everyone, let's go to your rooms," said Superboy.
He headed off down the corridor and slowly everyone followed. Artemis was the last to leave. She looked at the little bird on the bed curled up looking at what was in his hand and smiled. It was nice to have him back.
Robin lay there looking at his parents for ages. He didn't know how long he had been looking but he knew it was dark outside when he looked up. Robin scouted his room looking at everything he had left behind and was reminded of why he left.
Finally looking in the last draw of the room Robin found something he had completely forgotten about. It was a picture, in that picture was a smiling boy in a suit standing next a smiling man looking down with a protective gaze on the boy. It was him and Bruce. Before he had left.
Ok so that was my next chapter. Thanks to Mrs. Catherine Potter and jayfeather63 for reviewing. Hope you enjoy. Tell me if you like or don't like and what you think should happen next.
