Okay, so just a note- I probably won't update as much for a while and mainly on weekends. School starts on monday for me, so my parents are limiting my computer time (lame!) but I wil try for once a month.


"What's the league say?" Wally asked as Aqualad returned to his seats.

Aqualad took a deep breath and released it. "They said Tornado would be on there if we needed help, but unless there's trouble, we're on our own."

"What?" Artemis crossed her arms. "Did they even see him beat Black Canary? He could probably take us down."

"Well, if it comes to that, there are five of us and one of him. Perhaps we were just being paranoid and he did, in fact, get lucky."Aqualad looked unsure at that last statement, something the entire team could see. "I'll radio him back to the base."

Robin was doing well. Apparently Happy Harbor was not full of crime. So absolutely nothing like Gotham and even less like Jump. But he had found (and prevented) a mugging and one of the usual "help he stole my purse" cries.

He heard a voice in his communicator. "Robin, we need you back at the base." Aqualad.

The boy wonder knew it was probably not a big deal- maybe a villain or something, but still a heavy lump of dread settled in his chest. What if they were calling him back to question him?

A few minutes later, Robin ended up at the base.

"Recognized, Robin, B01," called the robotic voice as he entered the cave.

"So, uh, what's up guys? Do we have a mission?" Robin looked nervously at the teenagers, now out of uniform, sitting on the sofas and chairs.

"No." Superboy said. The knot in Robin's stomach grew tighter.

"This is about you, Robin. What's going on?" M'gann asked kindly.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Robin was a good liar for sure, but currently his skills were failing him and he couldn't make himself make eye contact. He felt like throwing up. Part two of his plan was a bust. They knew he wasn't Robin, or at least not their Robin.

"Really? Tell us something only Robin would know." Wally sat back in his chair.

Shit. Shitshitshit. He racked his brain for any and all things that could help him. Interviews (of which there was very few, they were a more covert team after all), photos, anything from his research. Finally he let out a sly smile. If his life quite possibly didn't depend on this, he would never say it, as it sounded absolutely idiotic.

"You really aren't whelmed at all, are you guys?" He almost had to force himself. He had said lots of dumb stuff in his life, but this took the cake.

The team was set aback. Obviously they didn't expect this.

"Yep, that's Robin, all right." Wally said.

"Of course it's me! Did you really doubt it?" Robin's lying skills seemed back, now that the dread was gone.

"So then the fight with Canary?" Aqualad asked skeptically.

"Like I said, I got lucky. I promise." He lifted up two fingers and placed his other hand on his heart.

"Well, now that that's all cleared up..." Artemis visibly relaxed a bit as she talked. "Call the league, tell them it was a false alarm."

"I'm still not sure that's really Robin." Superboy and M'gann walked back to their rooms after the rest of the team returned to their respective homes.

"Well, we really don't have any other choice but to trust him." M'gann responded.

"Couldn't you read his mind or something?"

M'gann shook her head. "I tried, but he wouldn't let me."

"It may be just me, but that sounds suspicious."

She sighed. "I know. Goodnight, Connor." She slowed to a stop and kissed Superboy on the cheek before stepping into her room.

"G'night."


Okay, I don't really know about how good this chapter is and I really want to hear what you think about it!
