In general, Kid Flash is wrong about many things. But when he said that the League was going to be pissed, the League was, in fact, extremely pissed. It had been an hour since their returns from the streets of Gotham, and Batman, Zatara, Flash, Superman, Green Arrow, Martian ManHunter, and Aquaman, were called in by Black Canary, Red Tornado, and Captain Marvel right away to give them a lecture. If you thought the Bat glare was bad, then you haven't seen it for 60 minutes straight.

"… and then to not peruse her-" growled Batman.

"We didn't have a lead," Everyone turned to look at Robin. He had surprised mostly every body that day, but this was the biggest surprise of them all. To interrupt Batman was like asking for a death wish, it does not happen.

Batman eyed him down so severely that Robin cringed. He didn't like standing up to his mentor, but there was a knew found power that he gained from the evening's events. He felt strong, in control. Kind of like the Batman himself. But those feelings faded away as those menacing eyes of the Dark Knight looked down upon him. "Excuse us," said Batman darkly to the rest of the group. The elders nodded and escorted the younger ones out of the main chamber.

When they were alone, Robin sighed and grabbed his arm in shame. "I'm sorry," he apologized.

Batman released a long exhale and patted Robin on the shoulder. "No. I'm sorry," Robin looked up with a puzzled expression. Batman was usually to stubborn to admit his faults. But for some reason, he didn't hesitate in this situation. "I shouldn't have put you in a position like this for my own benefit. In a way, I thought you'd might let her go..." he let his voice trail off, feeling as though it would be better to keep his thoughts and judgments to himself, especially at a time like this when Robin felt so vulnerable.

Robin looked at his feet again. "I don't think she'll do anymore harm-"

"I know she won't do anymore harm," confirmed Batman warmly. Robin smiled at Batman with eyes full of hope. "What you did may have not been right, but it was fair. And now we can learn from it. Our personal arrangements and faults should never get in the way of doing what's needed. It's still a lesson I have to learn," muttered Batman almost to himself.

Robin nodded and looked to his feet again. "Am I still in trouble?" he asked glumly.

Batman thought it over in his mind, but shook his head. "No. But I want for you to think about it. And hopefully someday, you'll learn faster then I did,"

One of the doors on the other side of the room opened. Out of it stepped the older hero's along with Zatanna. "We should go, I think they've heard enough," suggested Superman. Batman nodded at him and followed the group to the zeta tubes.

"Wait!" called Black Canary as she stumbled in after them, Charlotte Corday curled up warmly in her arms. "What about her bobcat?" she asked extending Charlotte Corday out to Batman.

Batman shrugged and scooped up that bobcat in his own arms. "I'll take he back to her rightful place," he said. Black Canary sighed and followed him to the zeta tubes. The bobcat was probably going back to the zoo where it came from. Even so, she didn't like the cat being on it's own after being loved and taken care of for so long.

As Batman typed in the code for the zeta tubes, he and Black Canary shared a hushed conversation.

"I can't believe it was her all along," said Black Canary. Batman nodded in agreement. "Are you going to find her? I know that Sel-… Catwoman will be devastated,"

Batman glanced down at Charlotte Corday, then back to Black Canary. "I'll see what I can do," he muttered to her. Black Canary nodded with thanks and walked off as the other hero's disappeared.

When the chamber was all clear, Robin and Zatanna smiled at each other and slowly walked back to the common room to join the others. "How's the team?" asked Robin.

Zatanna shrugged "It's complicated. They don't want to hate her, but she did… you know,"

Robin chuckled to himself. "She seems to have that effect on people,"

"Even you?" Robin was silent. Zatanna was the first only person so far who called him out on the events of the evening. She seemed to be able to read him like an open book. "I know you could have stopped her easily, and you do to. So what happened?" asked Zatanna.

Robin shrugged. "I felt bad for her. She doesn't deserved to be judged for trying to do the right thing," Zatanna nodded in agreement and looked at her feet as they walked.

"Did you really want to go after her?"

Robin stopped in his tracks as he considered the questions. "Yes. But mostly no,"

Zatanna sighed. "Oh," she said with disappointment.

Robin smirked at her reaction as he took the words of Huntress to heart. She knew she was right, and had the same feelings for Zatanna. If he was going to act on them at any time, it would be now. "…because I don't think I'd like to have her beat me up again. Especially in front of you," he mumbled.

They both sheepishly smiled at the other and joined hands. Huntress was defiantly right, there was something there between Zatanna and Robin… something quite strong.
