Wow, there where some really close counts. I want to thank everyone for the feedback and to tell them that I now have a plotline (based on my ideas, your thoughts, and the general chaos that is my mind) that I hope you will like.

Enjoy!

Chapter 4

How A Robin Thinks

"He . . . would be me."

It was as if someone had said that the world was going to end in ten seconds. Half of the League were suddenly choking on air and the others were staring at Batman in shock, as if the very idea of him once being a kid was idiotic.

Even Superman was disbelieving, glancing between the picture and the hero next to him, trying to see the similarities between the brightly colored kid and his friend.

"Um . . . Batman?" he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?"

Please be kidding, please be kidding . . .

No one in the league wanted to be responsible for finding those kids again if one of them was a miniature Bat. One Bat was hard enough to deal with, and that was when he was on their side. A Bat who was working against them, or at least not with them? Not good.

Batman's decisive nod dashed their hopes however as he enlarged the picture even more.

"Though the coloring is a bit . . . excessive, the suit itself is extremely similar to my own," he pointed to the spikes along the sides of the boy's arms, exactly like the ones that the Bat had, "Those are not for decoration, though most people would not know. And the belt," he gestured to the yellow belt around the kid's waist. The object that had looked more decorative then useful before now seemed that much more dangerous, "is an exact replica of my own."

There was silence for several moments after he had spoken in which the League glanced at each other in horror as they realized just what this meant.

They were going up against another Batman, a kid Batman.

And for some reason that was a lot worse than an adult Batman.

"Were dead, aren't we?" Flash whispered, glancing around at the wide eyed members around him.

Those that heard could only agree.

Artemis growled and clutched her seat tightly as the jet gave another lurch. Her side ached from where she had been slashed before being tossed into the portal that had brought them to this world. She was still praying that this was all a dream.

"I think I'm going to be sick . . ." Wally gasped from beside her, his face turning green as he clutched his middle.

Artemis gritted her teeth, "You think, Baywatch? Why don't you go somewhere else then so you don't get it all over me!"

Wally glanced at her like she was crazy, but was forced to return to his curled position with another groan as the jet jittered under them. Artemis narrowed her eyes at the rapidly blinking controls and buttons before turning to look at Robin.

"Note to self," she muttered, "Never let Robin drive anything with us in it."

Robin, completely oblivious to Artemis anger, grinned as he angled the shuttering jet toward earth.

"Don't worry," he called, "Going through the Earth's atmosphere is always a bit hard."

"Not this hard," Wally muttered from beside her and Artemis huffed as her irritation swelled.

"Shut-up Baywatch. No one wants to hear the obvious," she growled.

"Hey! I heard that!" Robin yelled as he rapidly pushed buttons, causing even more flashing lights. Artemis wondered what he was hoping to achieve and then decided that she didn't want to know.

"Just get us on the ground Bird-boy," she snapped and the all too gleeful robin.

By this point even Kaldur was having trouble keeping his lunch from coming back up, and no one wanted to see that. Superboy and M'gann, however, did not seem to have any problem with the rolling floor under their feet, though M'gann might have been a slightly paler green than usual.

The shuttering leveled out after a few minutes, though it was still not perfect as the occasional blast of wind hit them. Robin leaned back in satisfaction.

"Landing site in thirty minutes," he announced smugly, "I told you we would make it."

The glares that were directed at him didn't faze him, but he lived with the Batman, and no one could compete with the Bat glares. Kaldur and Wally were to busy trying to keep from throwing up to look at the Bird.

"So," Artemis commented, narrowing her eyes on Robin, "it's as good a time as any to learn, huh?"

Robin's smile didn't dim, "It's a work in progress. We're still alive, are we not?"

"Alive," Wally muttered from beside her, "but still trying to believe it."

Artemis rolled her eyes at the speedster as she turned back to the Boy Wonder. "What are we supposed to do now, then, oh all-knowing Bat?"

Robin blinked and turned his head slightly to look at the rest of the Team, his face suddenly turning serious, "We stay out of the league's grasp. Who knows what they have come up about us by what they already know. For all we know they could think that we are villains from another dimension that just happened to have costumes similar to theirs. Better yet, that the Justice League of our dimension are no longer heroes but dictators who are ruling the world by force," he crossed his arms, his frown deepening.

"That and we don't have time for them to get in the way. We need a way home fast and we can't find one with them hovering over us. Whoever sent us hear clearly wanted us out of the way, but why?" the last sentence was quieter then the rest, as if he were only speaking his thoughts out loud.

Aqualad had recovered enough by this point to join the conversation, "How are we to do that, Robin?"

Robin pulled up his glove computer and began tapping quickly over the see-through key board. After a few moments an audio feed was brought up, "I caught one of our opponent's voices on tape when I was attacked. If we can find them in this dimension, chances are they are working on something similar to the tech that sent us here, or at least lead up to the people who can make it."

He tapped the screen again as it began to play.

"This is Robin, the mind link is down, what is happening?"

The panic in his voice, only caught by Artemis, made her wince. Robin must have been one of the last to get caught.

Seconds later they heard the shuffling of footsteps and the flutter of Robin's cloak as he spun around. A loud, angry buzz erupted over the speakers, making all of them wince. From the sound of it, it had been the light that they had all seen and Robin stumbled back in surprise. Then a second voice spoke.

"Oh, Hello there, looks like I found our missing bird," the second voice said in a sing-song, the person nearing Robin judging from the increased sound of their footsteps, "A pity I have to get rid of you; I always did like birds . . ."

And then everything fizzled off into a crackle.

Artemis didn't miss the wince from Robin at the last sentence, but didn't comment on it.

"I can isolate the voice," Robin spoke up to break the sudden tension in the aircraft, "and then run it through a voice recognizer."

From the fast pace of his fingers Artemis had no doubt that was exactly what he was doing.

A few moments later Robin let out a soft "Oh . . .", pulled up a picture, and enlarged it so that they could all see. The picture was of a middle aged woman who was unnaturally pale with hair so red it almost looked like it was on fire. Her eyes were also an abnormal green, the same shade as her clothing, "This is Pamela Isley . . . also known as Poison Ivy."

"Poison Ivy?" M'gann perked up, "Who is she?"

Robin grimaced as Wally spoke up, "Dude, isn't she like, one of the top super-villains in Gotham?"

Robin nodded, confusion on his face, "Yah, but her specialty is plants, not dimensional travel."

"Do you know how to find her?" Kaldur asked.

Hesitantly Robin glanced over his notes, "If this world is anything like our own, then she is probably in Gotham."

"What are we waiting for, then? Let's go to Gotham," M'gann nodded as if confirming her own words, "The faster we find her the sooner we can get home."

Before anyone could agree Robin's voice rang out, "No."

M'gann blinked in surprise, "Why not, Robin? Didn't you say that we needed to find her?"

Robin shook his head slightly, "We do need to find her, but we are not all going to Gotham."

"Why?" Superboy grunted, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"We can't," to everyone's surprise it was Artemis who spoke, "A large group of kids wandering around Gotham dressed as we are? That would be suicide."

Wally nodded, though reluctantly and still a little green in the face, "She's right. There is a reason the league leaves Batman to take care of Gotham, and it's not just because he doesn't want them there. Walking into Gotham as a superhero is equivalent to walking into a death trap knowingly."

Kaldur's frown deepened, "How do we get the information from her, then?"

Robin's face was even grimmer then before, "I will go. Alone."

"What?" M'gann gasped, her eyes going wide as she floated slightly above the ground, "You can't!"

"I have to," Robin corrected her, turning his head away, "I'm the only one who knows how Gotham works, Batman taught me."

The silence that descended was heavy, but everyone knew that he was right. Kaldur took a deep breath and straightened from his chair, "Where shall we meet you after you have the information?"

"Gotham Harbor, two weeks after I go. If everything goes right I'll be there, if not, well, don't come looking for me."

If I'm not there then I probably won't be alive, went unsaid.

"You guys shouldn't be in a group either."

Wait, what?

Robin continued as if the others hadn't just looked at him as if he were crazy, "The Justice League is still looking for us. It's easier to be found if we stay together in a large group. They won't expect us to split up and wont be looking for two or three person pares."

"That . . . actually makes sense," Artemis conceded, though she didn't like it.

Before the conversation could continue, however, a metallic voice sounded over the ships intercom, "Destination reached. Self Destruct activated in: one minute."

"Robin!" Wally screeched unexpectedly, "What did you do!?"

Robin's grim moon vanished, replaced by a mischievous grin, "Looks like our stop is here. Anyone feel ready for a jump?"

Ok, there's this chapter. I'm going to be taking the next few chapters a little slower so it doesn't seem like I've rushing through this, I hope you don't mind.

On another note, there should be some action in the next chapter, but I'm a bit rushed to get this up because if I don't do it now it could be sitting on my computer for another two weeks before I do anything about it.

I would like to thank all of you who reviewed my last chapter. I was very surprised and the enthusiastic response this story has received. Now if only I could figure out what is wrong with my other stories . . .

Again, thank you for reading and reviewing. I hope that this story is to your liking.

Review?
