The twins were beyond excited. Their father was going to Keystone, and THEY were invited too!

"Dad can we PLEAAAAAAAASE bring our Kevs on this one? Pleasepleasepleaseplease PLEAAAAAAASE?" Jason pleaded, looking adorable, his green eyes begging.

Dick sighed. His sons had been asking if they could go on patrol for a very long time, but he was their father and as much as he hated to disappoint his young protégés...

"Rules are rules, guys. No kevs."

Jimmy began to sniff. He loved to fly, like his father, and being grounded was very hard on him. He turned his blue, teary eyes to his father and said with tears in his voice, his hand over his stomach like it hurt,

"But Daddy...the Rom in my blood is screaming."

That broke Dick's heart. Flying was in his sons' blood. To deny them that joy for too long would break them. It had been two weeks since he had grounded them, and for Jimmy, those weeks had been torture. It was hard on Jason too, but his Rom seemed to scream softer than his Brother's, and his problem was that his Bat was screaming too loud. He wanted to kick some baddy tail, and being denied that was driving him bonkers.

With a heavy sigh, Dick threw up his hands

"Ok ok you win. Get your kevs, and be discreet would you?"

The twins glomped their father, and Dick laughed as they said their thanks in a chorus of rapid sentences and whoops and hollers.

"You're the best Dad!"

"Yeah you rule!"

Starfire giggled from her spot in the kitchen, her husband was a softy, and she was glad that although he could be stubborn, he would never turn into the dark, brooding man his mentor/father had been. He was just too soft, and she loved him to death for it.

"Awee my little Wingsters! Gosh you guys sure got big since I saw you!" Wally West, the Flash, laughed as his nephews tackled his legs, threatening in their squealing voices to prevent him from escaping while they unleashed doom upon his house.

Dick smiled and thumped his best friend on the back,

"You saw them what...five weeks or so ago when you helped me take down a thug named Cinderhead?"

"Five weeks is forever for the Flash, Daddy!" Jason reminded his dullard father with a giggle.

"That's right, little wing!" Wally said, rubbing the twin's head until static electricity danced in his red hair.

Dick chuckled, then sat on the ruby red couch

"I may not have aged a day, but the Speed Force has granted you some youth too, eh Wally. You're basicly still running the show here, despite your little cousin's apearence."

"Someonementionme?" there was a swoosh of wind, and the Twins tackled their latest victim, Bart Allen, aka Impulse.

"Your ears must have been burnng, Bart." Dick smiled, "We were just talking about you. Literally. JUST talking."

"It's crash." Impulse said, zipping around while he talked. "So, what's the news on when I get to be a Titan? I mean, I've already been in Young Justice. Been an honorary TEEN Titan, but now I'm bored. I wanna join the Big Leagues!"

"Not until you are a bit more mature. We talked about this Bart you aren't ready." Wally sighed, "Especially after the White Light incident. You nearly got yourself AND Red Raven killed."

"Yeah and it was mode, but still, I can do it I know I can!"

"It really isn't up to me anyway." Wally said, looking at Dick pointedly. The Former Boy Wonder nodded his head.

"I'm with Wally on this one, Impulse. I'm sorry but although you are the right age, your behavior of late especially towards your team mates...is not fitting for a Titan."

"Oh man totally feeling the mode here. Fiiiiiiiiiiine." Bart said poutingly, slumping his shoulders. He suddenly became very agitated, and ran around, looking for something.

"Are you looking for Crash again?" Wally asked, chuckling.

Jimmy's eyes widened and he asked innocently "What's Crash?"

Dick suddenly yelped and stood up, dancing around and hollering "Get it off GET IT OFF!"

Everyone present burst into laughter, for on Dick's rear, clinging on for dear life was a tiny green turtle no bigger than a two year old's fist.

"Crash! GetoffDickyoucrazyreptile!" Bart said, coaxing his pet off Dick and into his hand. "Poorguyisscaredtodeath!"

"Serves him right!" Dick growled, rubbing his rear.

Jason wrinkled his nose at his cousin's pet. "Heh, besides biting, that shrimpy thing barely passes for awesome petitude."

Bart looked hurt "At least he's clean!"

"He's no Raven. My goat could kick that turtle's ass any day of the week!"

"Jay..." Dick growled in warning "Language."

The Former Boy Wonder chuckled some, though. Jason indeed. He laughed softly before nudging Wally hard in the arm "A turtle for a Speedster? Isn't that a paradoxal situation?"

The Flash laughed "Why do you think I picked it? And goat? You gave your twips a goat?"

"TWO Goats actually..."

"Schway. Unusual, but Schway. As expected, Grayson, you definitely never cease to amaze."

Flash leaned over and whispered,

"So, you up for hunting tonight? There is a lead on Clench that I could use help on."

Dick smiled, winked, and said seriously, "Junior Wings, suit up!"

"ALL RIGHT!" the twins hollered, disappearing into the bathroom to change. Wally growled at his friend "awe thanks, Wingster. Just what I need, junior heroes. You know if I wanted-"

"They NEED this, Flash." Came the batgrowl. "Trust me they need this outlet."

"It's CLENCH Dick!"

"They've beaten Blight before. It was a long hard Battle, I did most of the work, but the three of us did it. With Bart helping it should be cake!"

"Cake he says, as Impulse goes down because your little twip birdaranged Clench's chemical wiring!" The Flash pouted as they wrapped up the takedown. Nightwing snorted

"Impulse was in the way. It wasn't F5's fault."

Bluejay sneered at the smaller Speedster, and tisked at him

"You nearly cost my brother his health! Not all of us have supermetabolisms you know! Watch where you run next time!"

Bart sneered right back at him "Look I'm feeling the mode as it is, twip. Leave me alone!"

"Oh you aren't feeling ANY modes if I pound you now WILL you!?" Bluejay threatened, readying a birdarang.

"Jay! Stand down." Nightwing commanded. Bluejay put up his weapon and went to his brother's side. Flamebird 5 had gotten a tiny bit of Clench's disease goop in the face, and was looking a bit pale.

"I have to get him home. I have an antidote there that will cure this thing." Nightwing said, scooping up his redclad twip and firing a line. The Flash ran below, carrying Impulse.

"You sure you can't whip something up here?"

"No, sorry wally. Another time old friend. Titans Together, always!"

As Wally watched his friend and small offspring grapple off into the sunrise towards where Dick had parked the Nightbird, a smile crept onto his face, and he laughed into the wind as he ran.

"Titans forever, Robin. Titans forever."
