A/N: I'm sorry if I won't be writing personal notes for this chapter. I'm in a rush since school's back, and I won't be able to update in a moth or so. so thank you to all those who reviewed. I hope I can continue to please you. I own nothing!


"Dammit!" Oliver yelled. The boys got away. It was frustrating for everyone.

"I knew this would happen! But did you listen to me?" Dinah said. Right from the beginning, the women knew that this could be a possible outcome.

"We had no choice! What if they'd done something reckless? If we didn't come who knows what they would've done to themselves! They're unstable!" Bruce said. He was having a hard time keeping his emotions in check. If you found out those things about your son, you'd be a mess. This is actually a somewhat calm reaction.

" And who's fault is that? The only one here who isn't directly involved is Barry!" Selina argued

"You can't blame us for this, we had a lot of problems these past few months!" Ollie exclaimed.

"Then who do we blame!? Those boys needed you, and what did you do?! You pushed him away" Diana said pointing to Bruce "You just flat out neglected him" Diana finished pointing to Oliver.

This argument went on for five minutes, the only ones who weren't fighting were Barry and Iris. They decided that fighting was getting them nowhere and pointed that out.

"ALL OF YOU! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Barry said, successfully startling his colleagues. Barry was normally the mellow one, the one to always lighten the mood.

"Fighting will not help us find the boys. Blaming one another isn't helping either." Iris said.

"Look, we all made mistakes. No one in this room is innocent about this whole thing. The best thing we can do now is try to find the boys, before they actually do something they'll regret." Barry's speech seemed to get the arguing heroes back to their senses.

"He's right, we're just wasting time here. Barry search the cabin for any clues they might've left behind, I'll try to hack the systems. The rest of you think of possible places they could go to." Bruce said. They got to work. Just before Bruce started hacking and Barry started searching, Dinah had a thought.

"Bruce, we're going to be spread to thin. We need help. We need the team." She said.

"Bruce before you even argue, the team cares about the boys too. They deserve to know" Selina chimed in.

"Alright fine," Bruce grunted "Selina call the boys as well, we might need their help." He concluded.

" Even Jason?" Selina asked.

"...Yes even Jason" Selina nodded.

"Dinah, Iris, Diana, Selina and I will go to the cave and tell the team." Ollie suggested.

Bruce nodded and added "Barry and I will follow shortly" The group headed out, leaving the Bat and speedster to get to work.


The boys got out of the elevator to see their under ground cave with 3 motorcycles, all black.

"Get on a cycle and follow me" Dick said taking the lead.

The two older boys nodded knowing that only their little - not that little anymore- brother knew where their new hideout is. They prepared for a situation like this. They weren't stupid, they knew they couldn't hide this forever and that the adults or someone was bound to find out sooner or later.

Their bikes looked like Nightwing's bike, but without the emblem. They decided to have discreet bikes for their escape. They had black helmets with built in communicators. The boys have been on the road for 20 minutes now.

"So Dick where's the new hideout?" Roy said breaking the silence.

"I have a safe house in Bludhaven that not even Batman knows about." Dick has been referring to Bruce as Batman because, Bruce is his father, Batman is just his mentor.

"Dude! I knew you could do it, but how'd you get the safe house without Batman knowing?" Wally asked.

"You both know he's been...distant" Dick said quietly. Then and there the brothers knew to change the topic.

"So, tell us about the place" Roy suggested.

Dick smirked. He knew they couldn't see it, but they could definitely feel it. They were that close. "It's a surprise, ETA 10 minutes"


The 5 adults arrived at the cave to see the team members training, which was supervised by Artemis, M'gann, Kaldur and Conner.

"Team gather 'round" Dinah said. All identities have been revealed. Right after they crippled the Light in the summit. Therefore the team members weren't that shocked to see Catwoman and Wonder Woman in civilian garb.

"Is there something wrong?" Kaldur inquired.

"Team there's something we have to tell you" Diana started.

"How... How do we explain this..." Oliver said hesitantly. He was asking the right question. How do you explain this, this isn't something they always encounter.

"Since none of us know how to explain this, we'll just go right ahead and say it. Roy, Wally and Dick cut themselves" Selina said.

There were various reactions.

"WHAT?!"

"Is this some kind of sick joke?!"

"THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT"

While everyone was spewing out their reactions, Bart blanched.

No. Not again. I thought I already stopped this. Those were some of the thoughts going through his head. Only Iris noticed her grandson pale dramatically.

"Bart?" She said asked surprisingly silencing the whole room.

For a moment, their attention was directed to the Zeta Tube, which announced the arrival of Robin and Red Hood. The team knew that Jason Todd was back, they also knew his new "hobby". They were shocked that he was in the cave.

Before they could ask questions, the Zeta Tube came back to life and announced the arrival of Flash and Batman.

"I asked Selina to call them here to help with our...predicament" Bruce said, already knowing the unspoken question.

Both brothers glared at their father. When they got a call from their mother to come to the cave, they had an unspoken agreement to set aside their differences, and work together to help their older brother.

Iris turned back to Bart "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" That probably was a dumb question for the teens, but then they got a good look at Bart. He was pale, and and looked like he was about to have a panic attack any second.

"No. Not again." He said voicing out his previous thoughts.

"Again?" Diana asked.

he speeded up to Bruce "Please, please tell me you didn't go to the cabin yet." he said frantically.

"No, we went to the cabin. The boys escaped." Bruce said.

"Nononononoothisisbadreallyreallybad" he said reverting to speed talking.

"Bart, Bart calm down. Tell us what's wrong" Barry said.

"This happened before.. In the future." He explained. There were gasps coming from a few of the team members.

"Bart, what happened?" Artemis asked, concern thick in her voice.

"I thought that they were depressed because of the invasion. I was wrong. It's happening. You found out about their cutting and confronted them, they escaped from their cabin. No one saw them for a week, when we found them..." He had tears in his eyes. Everyone knew what he meant but they ended to make sure.

"Bart, please, what happened when we found them?" M'gann pleaded.

"They...they"

"Dammit! Just spit it out!" Jason said getting impatient. Like the others he knew what he was trying to say, he just refused to believe it.

"We found their bodies washed up in a river...all three...dead."
