Wally waited for the others to arrive. When they finally did he turned to them, "What took you so long" he asked. Mgann had arrived first followed by Connor, Oracle, Nightwing and Artemis.
"In case you're forgetting Flash, we don't have super speed" Artemis said gesturing between them
Wally sighed "Sorry I'm just nervous is all"
Artemis nodded "Me too"
Leo looked at all the adults "I don't get it. What's the big deal? Why are you all so nervous?"
Nightwing was the first to step forward toward the old phone booth "Let's just get going the sooner we get to them the better. Oracle and I will go first since our son is probably the one that got them there to begin with"
When they all arrived at the cave, Leo looked around in amazement "Wow what is this place?"
"We were going to ask you the same thing" their heads turned at the sound of Marks voice.
The three where standing in the doorway of the old mission room all of them had a handful of papers
"Yeah but we kind of figured it out on our own" Melanie added
Robin held up a piece of paper, it was a picture of the whole team from 2011 "Would you mind telling us what The Team is? You should know dad you did become the leader of it."
Oracle sighed "Why don't you all have a seat" she looked at the adults who nodded their head in agreement "We'll explain everything to you"
After an hour the adult superheroes had explained everything to their younger ones.
"So The Team was a group like the Justice League that was made up of protégés? Robin confirmed that he heard correctly
Wally nodded
"That's awesome! Why don't you let us do that?" Mark asked
"Because it was dangerous and irresponsible. You guys need supervision you're not ready to go out on your own" Oracle told them
Melanie rose an eyebrow "Just because the old cave got blown up doesn't mean you guys were irresponsible. It had to be done to make the undercover mission believable"
Artemis shook her head "That's not the only reason, you guys are too young you're not ready to be on your own"
"You got to do it why can't we?" Robin pointed out
Nightwing groaned and stood up "This is why we never wanted you guys to find out about this place or The Team. Yes it was fun. And yes when I was your age and we formed I thought it was the most awesome thing ever. But it took a lot of our innocence away. And as parents we didn't want that for you."
Melanie narrowed her eyes "Yet you still let us be crime fighting protégés?"
Oracle smiled "Because we would be by your side through it all, and we knew it was in your genes. There was no stopping it"
Mark threw his hands up "Well didn't you ever think that maybe this was in our genes too?" he argued
Wally who had been quiet most the time spoke up "I think we should let them do it" he said lowly
Everyone's head turned to him "You do?" Nightwing asked stunned
Wally nodded "Think about it, if we don't let them do it they're just going to try and do it anyways now that they know about it." He looked toward the three kids "Am I right?"
The three nodded their heads in agreement
"So we might as well let them" Wally concluded
Artemis looked toward him "Wally you're the one who said to begin with that we shouldn't even let them train together that way they don't come up with any ideas of starting a team"
Wally nodded his head "Yes, but what if we do things differently?"
Oracle tilted her head "How?"
"Well Nightwing could probably come up with a more detailed strategy but what if we train them for a while. And let them grow together then when they're a little older we will then send them on missions." Wally proposed
The kids looked the other adults anxiously awaiting their answers
"It's not a bad idea" Oracle said looking at Nightwing
Artemis nodded "You have a good point
Nightwing sighed knowing he was out numbered "Over the next week I'll come up with a program, but you won't be going on missions for a while. Even then it will just be assisting the League and maybe at one point you'll go on your own" he gave in
"Yes!" the kids cheered jumping up.
Leo went to his parents "Can I do it too? Please mom and dad please!" he begged
Connor and Mgann looked at each other
"It'll just be training so I guess it won't hurt" Mgann said regretfully
The boy smiled and ran over to the other 3
"Hey guys! My parents said I can join too!" He grinned happily
"Alright that's awesome!" Mark said high fiving the younger boy
"Yeah that's great" Robin grinned sending him a high five as well
The kids were all deep in discussion with each other about what all they hoped would happen with their new formed team.
"You think this is a good idea?" Artemis whispered to Mgann and Oracle who shrugged
"The first one wasn't a bad idea it's just we see things differently now that we're older" Mgann pointed out
Oracle nodded in agreement and noticed Nightwing focused on his Justice League communicator "What are you doing?" She asked
"Sending out a message to all former members to see if they'd like their children to join, even if they aren't yet crime fighters like Leo. It won't hurt for them to have training in case they decide they want to do it. This way they are prepared"
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail" Oracle said with a small smile
Nightwing grinned and threw an arm around her shoulder "I knew there was a reason I married you"
Connor, Mgann and Leo left shortly after.
The Wests and the Grayson's decided to show their kids around the mountain.
"So this is where you and dad met?" Melanie asked Artemis with a smile
Artemis tilted her head "Kind of, the one we met at blew up, but this one that we rebuilt is an exact replica" she explained
Melanie nodded
"So let me get this straight you were the most experienced when the team was formed but Kladur was the leader in the beginning only because you were the youngest on the team" Robin asked Nightwing
He nodded "Yes but once I was old enough I became leader"
Robin got an idea "So since I am the oldest and the most experienced does that mean I can be the leader?"
Nightwing shook his head "Your still only 13, I'm still figuring out how we are going to run this team"
"Yeah and your only older then us by 2 months" Mark piped up
They stopped after reaching the entrance again having made their way all around the cave "Alright well we better get going we have dinner at Wayne manor tonight, Leah is already there I had Damian come pick her up when we were looking for these 3 " Oracle said looking at her watch
"Can the twins come?" Nathan pleaded
"That depends do they want to come?" Nightwing said looking at the twins
"I don't care" Melanie shrugged
"I want to!" Mark agreed
They looked at Artemis and Wally who nodded "Sure it's fine with us" Wally told them
At Wayne Manor.
Bruce, Barbara, Dick and Damian sat in the living room talking while the kids were in the kitchen with Alfred. "Alright young ones here you are, careful they are hot." The elderly man said setting a plate of chocolate chip cookies in front of them
Leah jumped in being the first to grab "Cookies cookies, cookies!" She said excitedly she shoving a big bite into her mouth "Ow hot hot, hot!" She panted spitting the bite out.
Alfred shook his head "I warned you, come here I'll give you a glass of cold milk it should help" he said motioning for her to come over
"So how cool is it our parents actually agreed for us to have our own team!" Marks said blowing on his cookie and taking a bite
Nathan nodded "I know, and my dad said he's going to see if other League members will let their kids join to. It's going to be awesome"
Melanie nodded "Yeah even though it's going to be different then when they did it I'm still am excited"
Alfred walked back over, he watched Leah walk out the door to the living room before turning his attention to the three teens
"Are you excited about your ballroom classes next week Nathan?" Alfred asked as he set cups of milk down in front of them
Nathan rolled his eyes "Oh yeah can't wait" he said sarcastically
"Ha I can't think of anything more boring" Mark cut in
Alfred looked puzzled "I'm sorry I thought I was told that you two were attending the classes with him. In fact I'm almost positive that's what I heard"
The twins looked toward Nathan who gave a sheepish smile "I might of signed you guys up too, I wasn't going to take that class alone" he said quickly
"You signed us up for ballroom classes without asking us!" Melanie glared
Nathan nodded "Yes! I wasn't about to go to that class and be paired with some snooty girl who would only freak out once she found out I was Bruce Wayne's grandson and Dick Grayson's son"
Melanie scrunched up her eyebrows "So why does that mean I have to be in that class"
"Because, I put down that you'll be my partner" he said popping a cookie into his mouth "And Mark is my best friend we do everything together, I also know he doesn't care about dancing with some random girl" he said with his mouthful
Mark tilted his head and nodded knowing that Nathan was right. He really didn't care if he danced with a strange girl. Any excuse to be around a girl sounded like a good thing to him
"So I'm just like a girl sidekick to you" Melanie crossed her arms
Nathan shook his head "No your Melanie."
This confused her even more "So what does that mean"
Nathan laughed "It means you're my friend." He teased going for the cookie he knew she was about to grab she swatted his hand away and glared at him "Oh come on Mel, don't make me dance with those annoying rich girls. Please" he begged puckering out a lip
Melanie groaned "Okay fine" she gave in
"Yes thank you" he shouted victoriously
Alfred grabbed the plate of cookies "I'm going to go see if anyone out here wants any" Alfred excused himself and stepped into the living room.
When he walked into the living room and set the plate down Dick grinned at him "What's got you so giddy?" He asked
Alfred smiled and shook his head "Nothing just watching history repeat itself is all" he said looking at Dick with Barbara sitting on his lap
"What does that mean" Barbara smiled
Alfred shook his head "Nothing at all "
Dick took a bite of a cookie and threw his head back "Mmm 85 years old Alfred and your cookies are still the best."
Barbara nodded "They sure are, they taste just like when we were kids" she grinned
Alfred smiled "Well thank you, if you'll excuse me I'm going to finish dinner. And spend some time chatting with the young ones." He excused himself and walked back into the kitchen
