"Welcome to the manor Nick" Dick said as he approached the giant doors of the manor with a small ex-slave boy who stood up to the slave peddlers and managed to harm one when his powers finally listened to him. Nick was hugged up to Dick's side, he was lead to the main sitting room where Nick was shuddering with the new surroundings overwhelming him "You seem whelmed" Dick said with a small smile as he sat on the couch, Nick sat on the floor because that is what he was taught "You can sit on the couch Nick" Jason Todd said as he entered the room taking a seat on the chair whilst Dick patted a place next to him where Nick sat "You weren't allowed to sit on the furniture where you were weren't you?" Jason said, Nick nodded as he got comfortable and he took his shoes off "You can lay down Nick" Jason said as he laid down, Dick pulled Nick's head on to his chest as Nick began to fall asleep "He must have not got much sleep then" Jason said quietly as Dick nodded and awaited the member of the team that was trusted to take care of Nick whilst the trio was patrolling Gotham City. "So that the kid" a red headed teen said as Nick awoke in Dick's arms, he tried to dip into his powers but they wouldn't respond "W-Who are you?" Nick spoke up for the first time today "He is Wally West, you may know him as Kid Flash though" Bruce said coming in as he gestured towards the dining room signifying dinner is ready, Nick pushed off of Dick and waited for him to get up "You are a heavy sleeper, you missed lunch" Jason said as he Dick and Wally lead Nick to the dining room.

Nick was surprised to see food being placed in front of him instead of slop which he didn't know what it was made of "W-What-" Nick started "It's meatloaf" Wally butted in "Don't worry if you can't finish it, it'll be hard to get to regular eating habits" Bruce explained as Nick took a bite, he ate slower than everyone at the table, especially the very hungry speedster who had the largest pile of food that Nick has ever seen, once they were all finished, or in Nick's case after eating half of what was on his plate and gave the rest to Wally who offered to finish his food "Nick, Wally here will be looking after you whilst we are going on patrol, we are usually back late but we will see you in the morning, Dick, Jason suit up and meet me in the batcave" Bruce said as the three of them left leaving Nick, who is now shaking, and Wally who is to care for Nick, Wally went back into the living room and sat where Dick previously was seated Nick sat at the other end of the couch "I don't bite, you can come closer" Wally stated and Nick cautiously shuffled towards Wally and sat near him but not close enough to be touching, a couple minutes later Nightwing walked through "Black Canary should be here soon" he said smiling at Nick as he and Robin made their way to the batcave to meet Batman "You want to watch TV?" Wally asked Nick "O-Ok" the small voice replied as Wally picked up the remote and passed it to Nick "You choose kid" he said as the ex-slave boy and checked what was on "What is Netflix?" the boy asked "An app which allows you to watch TV shows" Wally explained to Nick as he opened up Netflix to see what was on there, after a couple minutes of browsing he decided on a show called Once Upon A Time and started watching it, not even halfway through the first episode, he fell onto Wally's side because he felt he could trust Wally since he was Kid Flash.

After the first episode finished Nick was laying on Wally but awake and Dinah had just arrived "Hello boys" she said sitting on the chair next to Wally "Hello Dinah" Wally said, Nick just waved and smiled "Did he eat alright Wally?" Dinah asked "He ate as much as he could" was his reply "Good, well Nick tomorrow you will meet the rest of Dick's team and I will have M'gann hopefully restore your memory of your powers being given to you" Dinah explained to the recovering boy "How about you give yourself a name as Bruce wouldn't want you to have your name revealed to the team" Wally suggested to Nick "H-How about R-Rogue?" he said "Your choice Nick" Dinah said with a reassuring smile on her face for his comfort which did comfort Nick a little "You look comfy their Nick" she added on "I am comfy, Wally's heartbeat is calming" Nick said as he smiled and spoke more than he usually did without his stutter "Hey your stutter is gone" Wally brought up as Nick blushed and turned off the TV to focus on talking more "Do you know what your powers do Nick?" Dinah asked as he nodded "I can turn into smoke, manipulate smoke to do whatever I need it to do, I just can't control my powers" Nick said to explain his powers to the two in the room, they stayed down there for about an hour before "Nick, go to bed" Dinah announced "I don't know where my room is" he answered back but then Dick came back, he was in his costume minus the mask "I'll show him to his room, Bruce told me to head back early so I can check up on you all and to make sure someone doesn't eat us out of food" he said glaring at Wally for the last part who just shrugged "Nick follow me to your room" he added on and lead Nick to a large bedroom with a large plush bed "If you need me I'm next door lil' bro" he added on as Nick climbed into bed and instantly fell asleep.

The Next Day

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" went the alarm clock as Nick fell out of bed with a large thud being startled by the noise coming from the foreign device to him, he got up and hit it and it shut up "Ouch" he exclaimed once the pain decided to show itself, Nick stripped down nude then he got changed into some fresh clothes and underwear which some of may have been passed down, he put on jeans, a black shirt and a gray hoodie he then went out of the room where Jason was waiting "Hey Nick" he said joining him on the stairs "Hey Jason" he replied as Jason grabbed a pair of sunglasses "Wear these at the cave Nick, and call me Robin and Dick Nightwing" Jason told the aching teen as he placed on the glasses "They don't know our identities, and what will you be called?" Jason explained and asked "Ok, I like the sound of Rogue" Nick said "Can you at least make it bird or bat related" Jason moaned "Hmmm how about Rogue Talon" Nick thought aloud "Sounds good lil' bro" Dick said joining the two as they headed towards the dining room where Alfred was serving breakfast "Morning boys" Bruce said as they joined him at the table to eat breakfast "I'm guessing this is toast and eggs" Nick said now out of his shell around the family plus Wally and Dinah "So have you decided on a name Nick?" Bruce asked once all were finished their breakfast "He wants Rogue Talon, Bat Dad" Jason said as he took the plates into the kitchen and went to change into his Robin gear "Ok, I'll get to work on it for the Zeta travel, and DON'T CALL ME BAT DAD" Bruce said as Dick went and got ready in his Nightwing gear whilst Nick was lead to the batcave to wait for the other two.

Whilst waiting for the others to arrive, Bruce shown Nick a computer where he started to design a costume because Nick knew that when he agreed to become the son of Bruce Wayne/Batman he would be taken under his wing and become a sidekick/member of the Young Justice team. After 10 minutes the former boy wonder and the current boy wonder joined us "Alright you can leave now, and Nick keep the glasses on at all times and don't let Wally call you Nick" Bruce warned Rogue Talon and then they went to the Zeta tube "Recognized B:01 Nightwing, Recognized B:09 Robin, Recognized B:10 Rogue Talon" the Zeta Tube said as the three materialized in Mount Justice "Hello Robin, Nightwing, who is your friend" M'gann said greeting us from the main area "Hello M'gann, this is Rogue Talon, the slave that Batman saved and adopted, he has powers but he doesn't know how to use them" Nightwing explained to the Martian as the others overheard from the sitting area "He met Wally yesterday but when we were all collecting Nick from the station" Robin added on as the team gathered around RT (Rogue Talon) as he went to hide behind Nightwing "Your over crowding the poor kid" Artemis said pushing everyone back and going towards the shivering Nick "Hello, I'm Artemis" the blonde archer said "H-Hello Artemis" the small boy said as he stepped out from behind Nightwing and let the team see him. "The dork in yellow is Kid Flash, Wally, The beautiful lady in a top hat is Zantana and the lady next to her is Rocket, Raquel, The Martian is Miss Martian, M'gann and the Atlantian is Aqualad, Kaldur'ahm the guy with an S on his shirt is Superboy" Artemis explained pointing to each person, each of them waving when their name was said.

After a few minutes of Rogue Talon getting to know everyone, Black Canary came by "M'gann, Rogue Talon, with me" she said as the two she requested followed her to the Zeta Tubes and went to the Watchtower and to where Martian Manhunter was waiting "We will start work on the memory reconstruction now" the elder martian stated as they all followed him into a room where they were going to reconstruct the memories of Rogue Talon gaining his power and how to control them "Are you ready Rogue Talon?" M'gann asked as he nodded, the room went white and soon M'gann and Nick were floating around in a place that looked like space with rectangles all around him and some shattered remnants of them "I will have to look through some other memories to start the restoration okay" M'gann said "It's okay M'gann, you'll learn my name through this" he said to her mentally, Nick witnessed so many of his past memories but just before the blackout in his memories M'gann started piecing it together and once she finished piecing together she looked at Nick "Nick, are you ready, and don't worry I'll remove any programming from the light if there is any" M'gann stated, "Let's do it, I want to control my powers" he was speaking more confidently because he felt the same level of trust towards her as he has Wally "Don't worry any names that have been revealed to me will be removed from my memory as requested by Batman" she added on and started the memory.

FLASHBACK

"LET ME GO!" Nick shouted as he was tied down to the table by Savage and Black Manta, "We will do what we want and you will comply, you are our slave" Savage replied as he proceeded to lock down Nick's limbs and stripped off his shirt by ripping it off "Now what do we do with him" Manta said as he looked at all of the different test tubes "How about smoke?" Lex Luthor said entering the light of the lab where they have locked Nick in "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ME!?" Nick shouted before Manta taped his mouth shut "That will shut him up" Manta said "Well since you asked nicely little kid I'll tell you, we are going to inject you with a meta gene prototype to see if we may weaponize it into making super powered weapons and each gene comes with their own command words" Luthor said as he injected the smoke meta gene into Nick as he passed out, when he awoke he was told one of his command words "Myston will activate your powers permanently" Savage said as he didn't know Nick was awake and sent the programs into his brain, he was knocked out because of the impulse sent into his brain at one time, he awoke in pod when he returned to the peddlers with no recollection of what happened.

BACK TO PRESENT

"M'gann, remove them NOW" Nick shouted, very traumatized as M'gann got straight to work on removing the words that would control him whilst also making a list that will be useful to the group if Nick were to do undercover work for them "They should all be gone, but just to test it out you will need to see if you can use your powers when we are out of your mind" M'gann said as they left Nick's mind and Nick was shaking "Do it Martian Manhunter" Black Canary said as the the older martian wiped Nick's name from M'gann's memory and any other identities that were to stay secret "Rogue Talon, try using your powers" M'gann said as Nick disappeared in a puff of smoke and then reappeared at the other end of the room and smiled, then he and M'gann headed back to Mount Justice, bad thing, Nick is now feeling worse than he did when Batman saved him.
