Hello again DC comic fans.

Now I have some news. Now the poll I announced in the last chapter is finished and the winner is Catwoman. And honestly, when I think about it, it fits the story better since she is more connected to Batman and Robin than Canary. Canary is more connected to the Team as a whole. And while I agree Green Arrow can be a bit of a prick at times, thank you for pointing that out Kunneg Andris, I'm sorry but he will still be with Black Canary. Besides, she is what keeps him in line. And apologies to the others who wanted the Canary and Marcus pairing.

Now, on with the story.

Robin's POV

I can't believe him!

I am currently in the gym, attacking the punching bag with everything I have. I can't believe he was going to try and tell me what to do. Others may have thought I was too soon to jump to conclusions, but I lived with Batman long enough to know what he is about to do.

As I threw another punch, my fist broke through the bag. Now this would be impressive if it weren't for the fact that the bag was rather old and the material very worn down. But even so, it made me pause in surprise.

When I do pause I hear a voice come from the entrance. "Geez, what did he ever do to you?" I turn to see Marcus standing there, an eyebrow raised. "You okay Rob?" He asks, concern seeping into his voice.

"No, I'm not. He thinks that just because he found me again he can tell me what to do. And no, I'm not jumping to conclusions. I've known Batman long en-" I began before getting cut off.

"I wasn't going to say that." He said. "I was going to say you need to cool down and you need a better opponent to vent your anger on than the bag." He walked over to the area set aside for fighting and got into a ready stance. I probably would've smiled if I wasn't still pissed. I liked sparring with Marcus. He actually challenged me while training. He would joke and sometimes he would even go all out while fighting(Admittedly, I still have a lot of training left to do.).

I walked over and got into a ready stance. As usual, I made the first move, throwing a punch to his mid section. He dodged and we began. We would strike at each other swiftly and strongly. A few times we each got a punch or a kick in on the other, but not often. As we kept going I focused more and more on the fight, no longer as angry as before.

We went on for about fifteen minutes before it had to end. I was going for a roundhouse kick in an attempt to throw him off balance. But things didn't go that way. He instead caught my leg. As my eyes widened he used the advantage he had to flip me over, me landing on my stomach. Before I could even try to get back up he had me pinned with an arm twisted behind my back.

I struggled for a way out but saw there was none. "Okay, fine. You win." I admit defeat. He releases me, letting me get up. I turn to him to see a look of concern on his face.

"Robin, eventually we will have to go back in there. So, are you ready to go try again or do you want to go on for a few more rounds?" He asks, a certain kind of fatherly in his face. This made me happy. I have to say, though I've never admitted it out loud, I started to look up to Marcus in the time he has looked after us. He did his best to be a good parent to the Titans. Despite him going behind my back, he only did it because he cared.

I think for a second before nodding to him. He seems to relax at this. "Alright. But can you do me a favor? Please try to hear them out this time and don't storm off. The sooner this is over with the sooner we can go back to our normal lives. And the awkward silence in there is unbearable." He pleads.

"I'll do my best, but no promises." I say.

With that, we head back to the living room. As we did, I try to think of things to keep myself calm.

This will be a long day.

Nobody's POV

As Robin and Marcus were training, the League and their apprentices were talking about what had just happened.

"God, how are we going to do this? He is so mad that he won't even listen to us for two seconds!" Kid Flash exclaimed. "Then again, who can blame him after what we tried to do."

This sent a somber mood around the room. But none was more depressed than the Dark Knight in the corner. The words his former son said had cut through him like knife. The fact he had hurt him so much was unbelievable.

Aqualad was the one to break them out of their mood. "We must not give up. Whether he will listen or not we must still do our best to make it up to him. He deserves that much." He said. The others nod in agreement.

"Well said Kaldur'ahm." Aquaman praised his pupil. Aqualad simply nodded.

Not long after the doors to the main room opened up to reveal Robin and Marcus returning. All eyes were on them as they went and sat on the couch as they did before. For awhile there was nothing but silence. It was quite deafening as everyone seemed to be waiting for another to say something.

Surprisingly, the one to speak up was Robin. "So how did you find me?" He asked, his face and voice void of emotion.

Superman responded. "A friend of mine had actually told me about a group of heroes protecting a city. I looked into it and found you by accident."

Robin frowned at that. "So after all this time and work I put into hiding whatever news or anything from the League's computers, you find me by a pure fluke." Robin said slowly. "That is just wrong on so many levels."

This caused Marcus to chuckle. "Can't control everything Robin." He said simply. Robin sighs at this.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"I wouldn't expect you to." Marcus says understandingly. The rest of the heroes looked back and forth between the two. They weren't quite sure what to make of the relationship between the two, or if they liked it.

As before, a silence pervaded the room. But this time it was broken by Kid Flash.

"Rob, we're sorry for what we tried to do. It was so stupid of us to just go along with the decision." He says sincerely.

"Yeah, it's just we were so worried for your safety we forgot that you are a hero and it's part of your job to handle villains. And it has been your job for longer than any of us." M'gaan said.

"We also forgot just how well you kept up with everyone during the missions, even against super-powered enemies. Hell, you and I had to face Red Torpedo and Inferno together and you had the idea for how to take them down. All I really did was shoot an arrow to activate the thing." Artemis said.

"Now we will understand if you wish to stay here with your new team." That caused a flinch or two among the younger heroes. "But we hope you will at the very least forgive us." Aqualad finishes for everyone.

Robin kept his eyes down, thinking for a moment. The League and the Team waited in trepidation of what he would answer. Then he spoke.

"It isn't that simple. I am not going to lie to you. I wish things could be normal between us again and I'm also not going to say there isn't a chance for it to. But it is going to take a lot more than just an apology. It is going to take a lot of time." The boy wonder says.

"We will totally take the time to make it up to you." Kid Flash said. The rest of the heroes nod to this.

Robin looks around at them, making sure they were all being sincere. "Then…I guess I can give you a chance." He said slowly.

This caused many of the heroes' faces to brighten. Kid Flash was shaking violently from a combination of his happiness and his powers.

Once he was calmed down, Marcus spoke up. "Alright, now that that is more or less settled, where do we go from here?"

This caused everyone to stop and think for a second. Where would they go from this?

M'gann seemed to have an idea. "Well what if we stay over for the weekend and spend some time together?" She suggested.

This raised some thoughts of protest from both sides. Robin thought that this would be a bit of rush into things. Meanwhile a few of the League members present didn't like the idea since they still didn't know much about the man named Marcus Wright.

But before either side could say a thing, another voice spoke up. "That would be awesome!" Everyone's heads turned to the door to see the rest of the Teen Titans standing there. Beast Boy was jumping up and down in excitement. "We would love to have you guys here! Right guys?"

Cyborg and Starfire seemed to be ecstatic at the idea as well while Raven seemed indifferent to it.

This caused everyone to look at Robin for confirmation. He seemed to be thinking of a way out of this but saw none. He sighed. "I guess you guys can stay for the weekend." He submitted.

Everyone's reactions varied from happiness to worry. Meanwhile Robin's and Marcus' thoughts ran along the same line.

Well this weekend is going to be hell/interesting. Take a guess on who thought what.

Robin's POV

Well after agreeing to my old team staying, the League thought it would be safe for a few of them to stay with them. So after a bit of negotiation, it was decided. Black Canary, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and (To my absolute pleasure) Batman would stay. Everyone else would go back to keep an eye on things in both their own cities and others.

Marcus, the Titans, and I took the new guests on a quick tour of things like the training room, bathrooms, where they would stay, etc. By the time we were done it was about dinnertime.

We currently sat in the living room area, trying to decide on what to do for dinner. When Miss Martian innocently asked why Marcus didn't want to cook he plainly explained his inability to cook anything but breakfast.

Kid Flash didn't seem to believe him. "Really? Prove it."

Marcus shrugged. "Okay, but you'll be the taste tester. Cyborg, would you mind helping me show them?" He nodded and followed our guardian to the kitchen area.

This should be good. I thought to myself.

Marcus opened the freezer and pulled out our usual simple snacks. Hot Pockets. He grabbed two and gave one to Cyborg. "You cook one first." Cyborg nodded and did so for the usual cooking time. After it was done he handed it to Kid Flash. Wally took a bite to test it at first, then sucked it in like the vacuum he is. This surprised the Titans at how quickly he ate it. I was used to his eating habits though.

KF raised an eyebrow, a smile on his face. "It was pretty good. Nothing wrong with it."

"That's because I didn't cook it." He says, putting his in the microwave. He did exactly what Cyborg did. When it was done he handed it over to Kid Flash. Wally, the overconfident fool he is, took a bite without a second thought.

Before he could even start chewing his smile disappeared and was replaced with confusion and disgust. He dropped the Hot Pocket and ran to the trash can, doing his best to spit out the food. It shocked almost everyone. They looked to the dropped piece of food to see bits of it frozen on the inside.

The Team and League members present looked to Marcus in confusion. He answered the unasked question. "Don't ask me how because I still don't know why or how it happens. Now, why don't I order Chinese?" He suggests. Everyone nods quickly as he grins. He grabs the phone as he walks out of the room.

We sat in silence for a moment when M'gann burst out. "Hello Megan!" She said, looking at Beast Boy. "Garfield, is that you?"

This caused open mouths amongst the Team and confusion in everyone else. I, however, already knew.

"How do you know my name?" He asks. Now everyone was confused. The Team wondered how he could've forgotten meeting a bunch of heroes'.

I decide to step in before things get too confusing. "I believe I should explain." Everyone turned to me. "Beast Boy, we have met before. You have also met the Team. But I think someone has tampered with your memory. At first I thought it might've been someone in the League to keep you safe but they don't seem to know either." I tell him. His face went from one of shock, to confusion, to realization, and finally anger. Then he went blank altogether.

"I think I know who did it, but if you don't mind I would like to keep it to myself." He said, surprising me with his maturity.

The League members and Team seem to want to protest at this but I interject before they can. "Sure thing Beast Boy. Your business is yours to keep." I say, making the League members frown. "Would you at least like for M'gann to give you your memories back?"

He seems to ponder this before nodding. The martian closes her eyes and focuses. Suddenly, Beast Boy gasped, the rush of memories hitting him. Once M'gann opens her eyes he walks over and hugs her, surprising the alien.

"Thank you for what you did. Thank you all for helping my mom and I." He said. She smiled and hugged him back. When they finished they began talking. Not long after Marcus came back in.

"Alright, I'll be back in a little bit." He said.

Wait, what?

"What do you mean you'll be back?" I ask.

"I mean that the Chinese place is short handed and can't deliver tonight so I'm going to pick it up." He says, putting on his jacket.

"Okay, but I can go get it." I say.

"No, I'll do it. It won't be that long." He says, giving me a look that says 'You have to talk to them sometime.'

I slump and nod. He then heads out the door, leaving me with my old Team and family.

Oh boy.

End chapter.

Now I know that is a bit of a cliffhanger, but it will all be worth it once I get the next chapter out.

Until next time, Wade98.
