"Of course I'm still coming. So meet you guys there at 5:30? Ok, see ya!"

Tim then hung up the phone. It was Saturday. Later he was going meet Gar, Jamie, Cassandra, and Carrie at the mall. Although, the main purpose of meeting at the mall wasn't to shop.

Tim stole a glance at his watch. It was 4:30; he had plenty of time to get to the mall since there was one really close to his house. And the best part about it was the fact that Max (Bart's guardian) would be watching Damian and Cassie for the day. What could go wrong, right? Wrong, as Tim found this out less than 1 nano second after he had gotten off of the phone. Damian and Bart with Cassie in tow came barreling though the door.

"What are you guys doing here? I thought Max was taking you to the fair!"

"He was but-"

"Hehadtogosavetheworldorsomethingsohepromisedhewou ldtakeustomorrow. Sohesaidtocomecomebackandtellyouheissorrybutitlook slikeyouwillhavetowatchustoday."

Bart finished talking without even taking a breath.

"What about Helen?"

"She's at work!"

Tim facepalmed. He should have known he couldn't have a peaceful day.

"O.k. well maybe Jason could-"

"No." Jason said appearing out of nowhere, then immediately walking out of the door.

"Maybe Alfred-"

"He's filming that new show, remember? "

Tim let out an exasperated sigh. He was running out of options! He was left with only 2 choices: 1 Leave them at home by themselves or 2 take them with him.

Even though both choices made him shudder with fear, choice No. 2 seemed the lesser of the evils.

"Alright then. I guess you're coming with me."

"Yay!" said Damian and Bart. Cass just looked at him with that creepy stare. Cassandra Cain. She didn't talk to anyone except Stephanie and Bruce (sometimes). Although she was only 4, she had been trained by her parents, who were assassins. Deemed too dangerous for the orphanage after she was taken away from her parents, she was to be sent to a correctional institution. But of course Bruce had taken pity on her and she now lives at Wayne Manor.

"So where are we going anyway?" Bart asked snapping Tim out of his thoughts.

Oh no! I they find out about the cave, they'll ruin everything! Tim thought worriedly to himself.

"To the mall." He started out cautiously. "But after that, were going to someplace secret. Can I count on you guys to keep it that way?"

"A secret?" both boys' eyes got as big as saucers.

"Like, one we can't tell anyone? What about Batman?"

"NO! Especially not Batman."

"Why?"

"Because, um…" Tim struggled to come up with a good excuse. "Otherwise you will ruin the surprise!"

"Surprise? What is it?"

"You'll see it when we get there. Now come on let's go."

So Tim and co. walked to the mall and got there a few minutes early.

"Okay let's wait here at the entrance a minute. Uh, hold up. WHERE DID BART AND CASSIE GO?"

In response, D shrugged. "Knowing Bart, he's probably at the food court."

Tim let out yet another exasperated sigh. He then looked at his watch. 5:15. That's plenty of time to find two kids in a mall bigger than Wayne Mansion, right? Tim thought, trying to look on the bright side. It wasn't working.

"I know! I'll go this way-"

"Oh no you don't." Tim said grabbing Damian's arm. "I don't need anyone else lost. You're staying with me."

So they looked in the food court, and lo and behold, Bart was standing in line at the Mcdonalds.

He refused to leave until he got something to eat, which he did. After buying Bart something to eat, they went looking all around for Cassie. They looked in the toy store, pet shop, clothing store, electronics shop. They looked everywhere! Just as Tim was about to give up, they passed an antique shop in which people were screaming. And they had good reason to as Cassie had taken an old sword, which was meant to be decorative, from its sheath and was currently swinging it around.

In one swift move Tim removed the sword from her grasp and grabbed her before quickly exiting the store.

Back at the entrance of the mall, 4 teens stood around impatiently.

"Where could he be? Its 6:00 already! What could be making him so late?" said the one with green hair.

"Say's the one who got here, like 5 minutes ago! You're always late," said a rather outspoken girl with blonde hair. In response he shot her a glare.

"Hey, look there he is now. Hey Tim, what took ya?" said the girl with orange hair and green glasses.

"They took me." He replied as Damian, Bart and Cassie emerged from behind him.

"Whoa, whoa whoa. Back up hermano, what are the little dudes doing here?" said Jamie.

"I had to bring them with me because Max couldn't watch them today."

"But what about the you-know-what? They might tell, and then what?" Cass asked.

Tim looked down at the kids. "I don't think they will. Especially not Cassie…."

"Alright, fine whatever! Can we please go now?!" asked Carrie who was always eager for adventure.

"Hmmm" Cass said as she surveyed the 3. "O.K. they can come."

"But if any of this gets out I am holding you responsible Tim Drake," she added with a death glare that could make Superman cringe.

The crew started walking together away from the mall but then everyone nodded to each other and split up.

"Uhh…. Ok what just happened? I thought we were going to the top secret place?" D asked confused.

"We are. Now shhh. It's not going to stay a secret if you up and tell the whole world! Just follow my lead and act natural.

They were now in a mostly empty part of town; only a few people then and again. They followed him up an alley to the entrance of a seemingly abandoned building, but as they got to the door it was clear it wasn't. There was a retinal scanner as well as voice identification.

Tim let it scan his eye, then said his name and the door opened. Inside was not much, but the others were already here. As they went inside Tim punched a button on the wall and the old a dusty table tuned into a computer panel and a bare wall revealed it was actually a zeta tube.

"Woa! Awesome! This place is so cool!" said Bart.

"If you think this is cool, you ain't seen nothin yet!" Carrie exclaimed and cracked her knuckles before typing madly on the keyboard in front of her. The zeta tube crackled to life and everyone stood in front of it.

"C'mon guys!"

"Wait, we get to take a zeta tube?! This is epiiic!"

The whole world went fuzzy before they materialized.

"Where are we?" D asked.

"Welcome to the cave."

A/n I changed my mind. I wanted Carrie in this story, but for the sake of my sanity we can't have 3 Robins in this universe. So Tim is Robin, Damian is Red Bird, and Carrie's code name is Cardinal. At least until further notice. This story is eventually going to go into a different story, separate from The Misadventures of Damian and Bart. If you have a favorite hero or sidekick in the Dc universe, tell me and I might put them in either the next chapter or new story.
