AN: My shortest chapter. Sorry! I just couldn't think of what else to say. Everyone in the scene is pretty straight-to-the-point kind of people.

Chapter 6

I woke up lying face up on a cold metal floor. Voices talking rapidly were around me. My vision was blurry; all I could were shapes and colors. I sat up too quickly sending my head spinning.

"Whoa, there. Take it easy." I turned to see Roy kneeling beside me. He was out of his Red Arrow gear and in civilian clothes. He wore a red T-shirt and jeans. Weird.

"My head–," I started.

"Sorry about that. Dick went a little overboard with the chloroform."

"Red Arrow!" Dick yelled.

"Come on, Dick," Roy said, standing up, "she already knows. Besides, you're not even in your Robin costume."

"Uniform," Dick corrected.

"Whatever."

I surveyed the room. Everyone on the team was there along with Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance, Diana Prince (all in civilian clothes) and Red Tornado and Bruce Wayne. Bruce was the only one in his "uniform."

Paranoid much?

Diana stepped forward, "Erin, sweetheart, how did you find out?"

I swallowed. Diana's disposition may be sweet, but I've seen what she can do to an eighteen-wheeler. She helped me up and told her the truth. The last thing I wanted was her to bring out the lasso.

"Something Roy had said as both himself and Red Arrow bugged me," I explained, "so I went through the old newspaper archives at school and made the connection. Then I remembered Robin. Mr. Wayne had adopted Dick then not even a month later Robin appeared. My friend, Abby, already had it in my head that Mr. Wayne might be Batman." I paused. "But don't you go and kidnap her too! She just has crazy theories, nothing else."

"We didn't kidnap you."

I turned to see a tall blonde girl with Asian features.

Artemis.

"Well, it sure feels like it," I snapped.

Artemis narrowed her eyes at me.

"We won't harm her," Diana intervened. "We aren't the bad guys."

"Thank you, Miss Prince," I said.

"Diana, please."

I nodded. After a pause, I said, "I won't tell anyone. Even Abby, I promise."

Artemis was the first to speak.

"How do we know we can trust you?" she asked, very nasty and loudly.

"You weren't very trustworthy at the beginning either, Artemis," Roy defended even louder.

Artemis snorted, "That's rich coming from you!"

"Stop it!" I yelled. Everyone turned to look at me like they had forgotten I was even there. "If you don't trust me then have Miss Martian erase my memories like I know she can do. Granted, there isn't a guarantee that I won't just figure it out again. But if you do trust me, even a little bit, get out my box, because I know you have it, and bring me lighter."

The heroes looked at each other. Facial expressions and hand gestures hinted at a telepathic conversation.

Finally, Bruce nodded and a second later the box and lighter appeared at my feet. I sighed, opening the lid and dropping the lit lighter into the box and watched dancing flames grow higher and higher.

"Roy," Oliver said, "why don't you take Erin on a tour of the cave?"

Roy raised an eyebrow. Oliver nodded and Roy took my hand and led me down a tunnel.
