We all collected in the living room and waited for Robin to inform us on what he found before we left. I watched intently as he pulled up a picture of a man that Cyborg loudly told me was Jumper.

Robin stood and turned toward us and pushed a button on the remote in his hand, sending the picture in a loop of mug shots. "This is Jumper. He's wanted all over the globe, it seems. Wanted mainly for murder, fifty four counts. Seems he goes after high profile criminals but has gotten a few bystanders as well. Looks like he got in some trouble in Gotham recently, went after the worst in the city, he got chewed up and spit out. Not before he destroyed city blocks though. He has an ability that allows him to 'jump' anywhere, like teleporting except that he moves at incredible speeds from point A to point B.

"He use to work for another criminal called Arsenal Nine years ago, I have no idea who the guy is but he's listed just under Slade in the most wanted list. Seven years ago, he also had a partner, but no one has seen him since then. So keep an eye out for him, he may have just moved into the background. I have a vague description of the partner. Weird colored skin, sharp teeth, and what they think is the ability to call strange animals." He hit his head and shook it. "Who now goes by the name Beast Boy."

Cyborg rubbed the back of his neck. "So you tellin me BB use to be some sorta bad guy? I don't believe it!"

That was when it hit me. "The three years! They were together for those three years!"

Robin rubbed his face. "I have to do more research, but I think so. Which also puts him with Arsenal, just like Jumper. So for a time, he was a bad guy."

Starfire zoomed in front of Robin. "Please do not speak ill of our friend! How could he be villainous?"

Robin sat down and rubbed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. "When his parents died, a man named Nicholas Galtry gained custody of him." He turned to the computer and began to type away, pulling up windows of Beast Boy and Arsenal. "I never made a connection till just now but, Galtry was a suspect of being Arsenal. The Doom Patrol were the ones who caught him for several counts of embezzlement and fraud, before adopting young Garfield Logan, or Beast Boy. When I did a background check on him, after the whole Brotherhood of Evil incident, I didn't think anything of it, but now." He got up and left the room, baffling the other two.

Cyborg just screamed down the hall. "Yo man! Get back here Spikey! You can't just say you researched a friend and walk out!"

I put my hand on his shoulder and shook my head when he looked at me. "Think about it. We all know each other's stories, except Beast Boy's. We all got surprised about the Doom Patrol and even then, he did not talk about it. Most of what we know comes from the Doom Patrol. It was only after Mrs. Rita told us that he willingly talked about his real parents. Matter of fact, you told me he told a ridiculous lie at a camp out to some kids until you straightened him out. He was keeping secrets from us, and Robin was concerned, but he is worse than even about that sort of thing. That is why Beat Boy and he have been clashing. They both have talked to me and have said as much. He will be back, and his paranoia could save our friend. Robin cares, and by going about it the wrong way, could save Beast Boy now." Just as I had finished and dropped my hand, Robin came back in.

He dropped a file from his hand on the table next to the computer. He opened it, found a page and began typing again. "Arsenal has never been seen, except for a few times by, you're right, the Doom Patrol. They were the ones who first suspected Galtry. Now get this, Garfield was not the only kid Galtry had under his estate. Garfield was the only one he gained custody of, the rest he went out of his way to adopt the others, five others besides Beast Boy. The last bit of evidence that condemns Galtry is that after he lost the case, the other four kids broke him out, using the powers of the four super powered underlings of Arsenal. It seems that most of the crimes brought on by Arsenal were in fact committed by four kids, about our age, who match the description of the kids Galtry adopted. His first kid he adopted was Jason Gallow. Now look at this photo and tell me what you think." The photo came on screen, it was a young boy, maybe seven or eight, with short brown hair, strong grey eyes, and look of absolute joy on his face. I had no idea who he was.

Cyborg scratched the top of his head. "It kinda looks like a young Jumper, minus the jerk smile."

Robin stood up and handed me a photo, it was an older version of the kid on the computer. "Jumper, right?"

Robin nodded and turned to the window. "He has an MO of seedy hotels and keeping close to his targets. We can assume that Slade is the target this this time."

Starfire floated up to Robin. "Would it not be good for the Jumper to catch Slade for us?"

Robin shook his head. "No, his form of justice is murder, not true justice. Slade needs to be put on trial and held accountable for his crimes, not killed and let off the hook."

I started to say something but the window behind Robin and Starfire exploded, sending glass and me across the room. I was disoriented and confused for a second before I looked up to check on my friends. Standing over Robin was a girl, a few years older than us, long brown hair in pig tails. She had a black mini skirt and shirt. Legging and arm warmers also covered her limbs. In her hands was what looked like play dough. "Hello boys and girls, how's it goin? Name's CeeFour, nice xplodein you!" she let out a wicked laugh, arms and head thrown back. Three other shadows filled were the window use to be. "And these, kiddies, are my crew."

I looked at Jumper with as much doubt as I could muster up. Which was a lot at the moment. "You sure this the place were Slade is at?"

He just gave me that stupid smirk of his. "Nope, but it is a lead. Plus, I think an old friend of ours is in there, and I know I want payback. Question is do you?"

Anger built in my stomach, I had to suppress it so as to not release it until I was face to face with the bastard. "Arsenal."

Jumper gave me a thumbs up. "Got it in one. Now come on."

I set the last charge on the roof and we stood back. Jumper pushed the detonator, a square piece of the roof blew and fell thru. "Come on Change."

I growled. "Don't call me that."

"Whatever."

We jumped thru and landed in the darkened warehouse. Jumper immediately pulled out his 9mm pistol and hunting knife, a foot long blade with a jagged sawing edge on the other side. Me, I pulled out a trinket from the old days, a 44 revolver, an old western. We were ready, until the unexpected happen, a trap.

A voice filled the air, one that I hated. "Hello there Beast Boy, or was it Changeling? I see you brought a friend this time, Jumper I am told." The lights came on and revealed a large monitor was displayed in front of us. Slade filled the screen. "Don't worry boys, I will not harm you, but someone I have come across seems to hold a grudge against you two. By the way, your old friend, or are they new, have a surprise heading their way. Good bye, little titan." The screen went black and the lights came on. Revealing a sight I had hoped to never see again.

A large green suit of armor stood some feet away. His right arm had a what looked like a canon attached to it, running up his forearm, and his left hand was replaced with a sword. "Hello Garfield, Jason. How are my two favorite backstabbing sons?"

I raised my gun. "I'm not your son Galtry! You're just a thief who lied to get my money! It's funny, if you would have been a kind foster father, I would have just given it to you! Now it just hangs in limbo, I don't need it! Now, give me a reason not to shoot!"

Arsenal just chuckled under his helmet. "Because, I will give you Slade."
