:( I got not reviews for chapter six. I love you all anyways, so here is the next chapter. I wrote through my terrible writers block that was afflicting only my fanfictions and not my books. So I hope its a good chapter.
Disclaimer: Own Young Justice? Me? O_O Nope. I watched Cornered, and it was like nothing I even imagined. So nope. It was good though . . . . ;)
Jason was relieved that they had managed to get Batman out. It was of course, all due to the fact that Batman had some sort of gadgety thing that only he and Tim knew the name for, as it was in some weird foreign language.
And Richard had managed not to get himself killed by the Joker, which was a miracle.
They were all sitting on the Bio-ship, exhausted and ready to go back and celebrate Christmas.
Batman had finished tying up the Joker and Arkham had picked him up. When the reporters tried to speak to Batman, Jason wanted to laugh at the looks on their faces when he pretty much disappeared in front of them.
"Team, get into the Bio-ship. We're going to the mountain. I've contacted your mentors and family. They will meet us there." Batman's voice came over the com.
Robin sighed. "Drat. I was looking forward to Agent A's cookies."
Jason agreed. Alfred had the best cookies on the planet, and probably on all the other planets as well.
The inside of the Bio-ship was relatively comfortable, if a little small.
Dick was good at finding a place for Jason and Tim, and he made sure they had some water and a snack. Of course, they both fell to sleep about half way to the mountain.
When Jason woke up, Robin was standing above them taking pictures.
If that wasn't bad enough, Batman was smiling. That was bad.
"Burn them." Jason growled, standing so as to get the advantage of his height. He did not want the blackmail material to survive.
But Robin looked serious. "Nope. This was our first family Christmas. They're staying. Maybe one day you'll want one." He sounded as though he knew what he was talking about.
But Jason still didn't want the blackmail material.
"If you keep them, you have to swear that you will never use them to blackmail me into doing anything." Jason growled. "Or I will kill you, resurrect you, and kill you again."
Robin laughed. "Promise. But it may not last long."
"We're at the mountain. The rest of the Team are already inside." Batman growled. "I pulled Robin out because I wanted to speak to the three of you."
Jason saw Robin flinch slightly.
Suddenly he realized something. Robin was expecting to take all the blame. He probably wouldn't even let Jason try.
"Come on Timmy." Jason whispered, pulling his little brother to his feet. The ten year old boy was still pretty much half asleep.
Batman didn't even reprimand them for the use of the codename.
"I don't know what you were thinking, allowing two mostly untrained boys come into the battle Robin." Batman started. His glare was becoming intense. "But despite that, you all did well."
All three boys stared at him in shock.
"We did good?" Robin asked. "Jeez, and I thought you'd be mad."
"Make no mistake Robin, I am unhappy with all of your behavior. But you preformed well, and despite Robin's injuries, they weren't many, and none are serious. All in all, the mission was a success. The Joker is back in Arkham. Now I told the mentors and family members of the Team to meet here, including Alfred. We're going to have Christmas at the mountain today." Batman said sharply.
His three adopted kids stared at him in shock.
Robin was the first one to speak. "But what about Artemis? She knows what Alfred sounds like and looks like. She'll find out who we are."
Batman hesitated for a moment. "I gave Alfred a gadget that will disguise his voice. He also has a costume that I made for him when told me that sometimes he would have to come to save me."
Jason and Tim stared at Batman like he'd suddenly become a sweet and gentle person. But Robin nodded.
"I've seen it. Good." He sounded relieved.
"I thought you wanted to inform your fellow Team members of your identity." Batman said.
"I do! But when I do it, I don't want them finding out because of a mission. I want your permission, and I want to be able to just tell them." Dick stopped and ran a hand through his hair.
Batman sighed. "Come on, before Wally comes and asks why I'm keeping you all from the party."
Jason groaned. He wan't very excited to be meeting the mentors and families of the Team. He's met them all before as their secret identities.
That was the problem with having Bruce Wayne for his adopted Father.
Nothing was very exciting anymore. Even fighting the Joker hadn't been as cool as he thought it should have been.
But at least they were celebrating Christmas together.
That was definitely a relief.
Batman lifted Tim, who was dozing off even as he was walking, and put the ten year old on his shoulder.
It was the way he carried Tim, Dick, and Jason when he was playing with them.
When they were asleep, he generally carried them bridle style. Jason always wondered how Batman could act so gentle with them when he was so cold and emotionless otherwise.
He also wished he could act emotionless.
He'd seen Dick do it occasionally. Timmy hadn't mastered it, but he was ok.
But Jason was just always angry. He couldn't even make himself stay calm, which was one of the first lessons Batman had taught him.
But Dick, despite how happy he was generally, could wipe any sign of emotion from his eyes, his voice, his face. He could act like Batman when he needed to.
It happened very rarely. But it did happen.
Jason walked into the main room of the mountain, where the Team was talking with their mentors, telling them about the mission.
Flash seemed annoyed about something, but Wally was excited, talking faster than anyone could understand.
M'gann was sitting next to Conner half asleep, while J'onn watched them.
Black Canary and Green Arrow were there, along with Red Arrow. Jason was a little surprised at that. Roy had been distancing himself since finding out he was clone.
But he was here.
Zatanna and Rocket were at the mountain now, along with Icon. They were chatting with Artemis.
Kaldur was speaking quietly with Aquaman.
And Superman was just standing there looking tired and annoyed.
Yeah, this was going to be one interesting party.
Hey. Hope you liked it. PLEASE REVIEW! I need reviews to inspire me. :) Please. Please please please.
