If Rachel wasn't sure that Bruce had the cave thoroughly bugged she'd say all those words she wasn't allowed to. M'Gann had called everyone to the cave and while Rachel was originally confused she could now see the reason for M'Gann's urgency.

"What happened?!" yelled Rachel over the sound of something breaking.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" said M'gann as she flew about in a panic.

"What's wrong with Superboy?!" said Wally running over to his friends. Whatever it was it had to be bad, that pile of plastic and wires used to be the TV.

"I just said that it felt like a telepath had been in his mind!" cried M'Gann as she tried to telekentically restrain Superboy who was taking his anger out on the walls now.

"What is going on here?!" asked Kaldur as he ran from the Zeta tube. They were obviously under attack and his friends were just standing there talking.

"Superboy's losing it." Said Artemis as she shot an arrow at Superboy. The arrow hit its mark and foam immobilized him for a moment before beginning to crack.

"I just…he seemed so upset and his mind was…I'm sorry." Said M'Gann

"Where's Red Tornado?" said Rachel as Artemis shot him with another arrow, foam once again keeping him secure.

"He and Black Canary left after Superboy came home….and then this happened…" said M'Gann wiping the tears from her eyes. This was all her fault. She shouldn't have been in Superboy's mind but he came back and he felt so terrible and she just wanted to know what happened and then she noticed the state his mind was in…

"We need to get him out of the cave before he takes it down." Said Kaldur

"What?! He can't be around people like this!" said Artemis

"He's going to cause a cave in if he keeps pounding on the walls like that." Said Rachel, her glove confirming her theory. Superboy had already managed to cause some structural damage, not to mention the sheer amount of their stuff he broke.

"This is…this is all my fault." Said M'Gann, tears making their way across her green cheeks.

"Hey, it's alright. You were just worried." Said Wally putting a comforting arm around her. He could have sworn he saw Robin glaring at him through the domino mask.

"Artemis, how many of those arrows do you have?" asked Rachel turning away from Wally. No, she was Robin now and she didn't care if Wally was holding Miss M like that.

"I'm gonna run out of arrows before he gets tired." Said Artemis

"We need to calm him down somehow. M'Gann, can you enter his mind and calm him down?" asked Kaldur. He knew that Superboy would not appreciate someone pawing through his mind but it was either calm him down or let him bring the cave down over their heads.

"What?! No! I mean, I won't alter his mind." Said M'Gann

"You're not altering anything, just making sure that he doesn't, you know, crush us under this mountain." Said Wally reassuringly. Rachel felt something twisting inside of her. Robin ignored it, now it was work time.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like he's calming down anytime soon." Said Artemis as Superboy got free and threw the couch across the room.

"Alright…if it's for his own good…" said M'Gann. Instantly Superboy stopped moving and stared blankly ahead. M'Gann had a similar blank expression as she stood there with her hands on her head in a gesture to stabilize herself. She devlved deep into Superboy's mind and smoothed out the angry edges, following a path already laid before her.

"I think its working." Stage whispered Wally as he leaned back towards Robin who was still mostl likely glaring at him through that stupid domino mask. What was Rob so mad at him about?

"Don't distract her." Said Artemis elbowing Wally in the chest. Rachel surveyed the damage. No more movie nights or hot meals for a while, that was for sure. Not to mention all the structural damage Superboy probably caused.

"It's done." Said M'gann dejectedly. This was all her fault, and just when he was starting to come around too. She felt gross, like she had been swimming in salt water and didn't shower. It felt terrible, invading and altering his mind like that.

"It's alright." Said Kaldur putting a reassuring hand on M'Gann's arm. She shrugged out of his grasp. She knew that he had to calm down and that he was going to destroy their home and hurt their friends but she still felt terrible.

"What was that all about?" asked Rachel. She had been so distracted that she hadn't kept tabs on the goings on of the cave. She should have put a tracker on Superboy the minute he started looking upset. Then she could have informed the League of his coordinates and they could have retrieved him before any damage had been done.

"He…went to visit his sister." Said M'gann as she told Superboy to lay down and have a nap. He turned what was left of the couch right side up and laid down.

"His sister? That crazy mutant girl?" asked Artemis remembering full well their battle with that team. They were trying to capture Superman, among other things. They were either very dumb or very crazy.

"She's not a mutant, she's half Kryptonian. She took Superboy to her home and that's where another telepath, it felt like a group of them, altered his mind." Said M'gann

"What do you mean, altered?" asked Kaldur fearing the worst. This would have to be brought to the attention of the League, this was beyond their ability to mend.

"They calmed him down…like I did…they made him like them." Said M'gann. She felt no better than those mutants who had hurt Superboy, or the genomorphs who had imprisoned him. it hurt her, hurting the person she loved. It was like hurting herself.

"We need to inform the League so that they may help Superboy and fix whatever those people did." Said Kaldur in a voice that left no room for debate…so of course there was a debate.

"I think the last thing he wants is more people in his head. Besides, M'gann said that he was fine aside from the whole 'trying to keep him from losing it' thing." Said Wally. He didn't want Superboy to lose it again and maybe even get kicked off the team because of how unstable he was.

"They have to know so they can fix him. Besides, how are we supposed to explain this?" asked Artemis. She knew that Superboy would be benched until he got himself under control and she didn't want that but she also didn't want him going berserk in the middle of a mission.

"Crazy party? No, seriously, we should at least tell J'onn." Said Rachel. Maybe Superboy was unstable due to emotional issues or maybe it was something in the cloning process. Either way the guy needed help. He also needed to have his mind picked through for information about the mutants who seemed hell bent on making themselves enemies of the League. Who knew what kind of mental suggestions they had implanted, what they could make Superboy do. Who knew what kind of information they had gotten out of Superboy, and what they were going to use it for.

"I just…I don't want him to get hurt anymore." Said M'gann. She just wanted to help him, to see what was wrong. Now he hated her and he would always hate her. They could never be together now and it hurt. It hurt in a way that she had never hurt before.

"So we are decided. I will inform the League of what has happened. M'gann, keep him calm. The rest of you try and see if there has been any serious damage and salvage what you can." Said Kaldur. The team made Moises of agreement and went onto their tasks.

"Aww man, he broke the TV and the fridge." Said Wally. Yup, this was definitely unfixable. Now where was he going to hang out and eat snacks after missions?

"At least he seems to have left our rooms alone. Well, mine anyway." Said Rachel with her back to Wally. She was Robin and she was working so she wasn't going to hang out with him because she really wanted to be Rachel right then even though she knew she needed to be Robin. This was going to work, she was not going to listen to Bruce's 'I told you so' lecture.

"Dude, what's with you?" asked Wally. Robin never sounded so…well…distant. Almost like he was mad about something. Wally racked his brain for a reason that his best bro in the whole world could be mad at him. They hadn't fought or even argued. In fact they hadn't hung out at all since….oh.

"Nothing, just worried about Superboy." Said Rachel not looking at Wally because if she looked at Wally when she would want to kiss him and this was neither the time nor the place. It would be funny though, to see everyone's reactions to 'Robin' just randomly kissing Kid Flash. It would lighten the mood…no, no, bad train of thought.

"He'll be fine, he just needs time, I guess. I mean, it's gotta be big, you know. His dad keeps on ignoring him and he finds out he's got a sister he never met and she turns out to be a criminal and she had a kid and stuff." Said Wally. He knew he was babbling. This was big. Superboy had gotten angry before but never with this much damage to their own property. He was going to get benched and then what? He lived here, he didn't have any family or any other friends. What would happen to him if the League decided that he was too unstable to be a part of the team.

"What he needs is anger management." Said Artemis. He was her friend and she knew that he would never hurt her or the team but he was a different person when he was angry. From what she could gather he was mostly angry that he was a clone, which they couldn't fix, and he was angry that Superman was ignoring him, which they could fix. Then again he apparently had another kid that he actually made…he was still better than her father though.

"A little therapy with J'onn or Black Canary couldn't hurt." Said Rachel

"You're agreeing with her?" asked Wally looking comically appalled. Rachel rolled her eyes behind her domino mask. What was his problem with Artemis? She didn't replace Speedy on the team, Speedy didn't want to be on the team in the first place.

"Somebody has to." Said Rachel with a noncommittal shrug of her shoulders. Artemis scoffed in disbelief.

"Seriously?" asked Artemis. Not Robin too. He seemed so much more mature than Kid Flash. That other guy, Red Arrow or whatever, didn't want to be on the team. She did. He could join the team whenever he wanted, he chose not to.

"And she has a good point. Superboy does have some anger problems." Said Rachel. Before she could blink Wally had an arm around her.

"No, no, she got to you…why, God, why?" asked Wally dramatically. Apparently his plan to lighten the mood backfired as Robin didn't even smile. Ok, something was really wrong with Robin. Well, he had been hanging out with Rachel a lot in Gotham and hadn't even bothered to make an effort to see his best friend…yeah, he messed up.

"I'm gonna go check my room. See if he did any damage after all." Said Rachel getting out from under Wally's arm. She knew full well that the path of destruction hadn't really reached that far, she thanked her glove for that, but she needed to get away from Wally. When he threw his arm around her, a gesture he had performed numerous times before, she felt like she was back at the park. She wanted to kiss him more than anything and it scared her. What if…no, she just needed more practice being Robin when he knew her as Rachel, that was all.

Calls had been made and Superboy had been taken to the Watchtower for a full mental scan. The League assured the team that the cave suffered no significant damage and that what was damaged could be repaired and their items replaced. Superboy had made a path of destruction from his bedroom to the living area but left the rest of the cave untouched.

M'gann would be staying with her uncle while the repairs were made. She was still despondent over what had happened and what she had done. She never wanted to hurt him and she had. Now he would never want to be with her. She didn't know why she loved him, only that she did. She was draw to him due to his good looks and tragic life but that wasn't what led her to love him. No, it was something else. It didn't matter, he probably hated her now.

Matters of love, or really liking someone, weighed on Rachel as well. What if they were in the middle of a mission and she couldn't separate being Rachel from being Robin? Robin was a boy and was most certainly not in any kind of a relationship with Kid Flash. Rachel was a girl and she was most certainly in a relationship with Wally. She knew that those people, those lives, could never overlap but in her mind they were starting to. She wished that she could have been girl Robin from the beginning, then she wouldn't be having these problems. If she had been a girl then she could have been with Wally as Robin and then maybe if they got married or whatever later on then she could tell him her secret identity. She was thrown from her not quite brooding when her Robin phone began to vibrate.

'U ok? Can we talk?' it was from Wally. Oh God, what did he want to talk about? Did he put two and two together and figure out that she was Robin? Was he going to break up with her for lying to him? Was he mad at her? She took a deep breath. It was probably about something else.

'What's up?' replied Rachel, her thumb hovering over the send button for just a few moments too long.

'Can I come in?' Rachel felt her heart pound against her ribcage. Wally had been in Rachel's room once before and it was wonderful and a little scary and exciting but this was different. This was Kid Flash coming into Robin's room, a place where he had hung out millions of times without kissing Rachel or anything like that.

'OK' replied Rachel. She sat up on her bed and straightened her Robin outfit. She hadn't taken off the mask, she didn't want to be Rachel right then. Now…well she wasn't sure what she wanted. She leaned back and attempted to act natural as her door opened.

"Rob, I'm sorry." Said Wally quickly as he closed the door behind him. He had changed into his civvies, yet another Flash T-shirt and jeans. Rachel wished he was still in his Kid Flash outfit. It would have made everything easier.

"For what?" asked Rachel truly confused. Ok, he didn't barge in angry at her for lying to him…that was good…but what was he on about?

"For ignoring you. I mean, I know you probably know that I've been in Gotham a lot and….well I'm sorry we didn't hang out." Said Wally searching for the perfect words. Robin must have felt terrible. The guy couldn't have had many friends with the responsibility of protecting Gotham and having Batman as a…father? Uncle? Caretaker of somekind.

"You haven't been…" said Rachel trailing off because yes, he had been ignoring Robin. It hadn't occurred to her to be hurt by this but now she was even though it made no sense, her and Robin being the same person and all.

"I know I have. It's just that, well, remember that girl?" said Wally

"Yes." Said Rachel, a bit more harshly than she had intended. The last thing she wanted to talk about was herself.

"Well, she's my actual, serious, exclusive girlfriend now and she, uh, takes up a lot of my time." Said Wally still trying to find a good way to say what he meant.

"I've noticed." Said Rachel in that same tone. Seriously, she did not want to discuss herself with her boyfriend.

"Not that we aren't friends, well, because we are. It's just that, well Uncle Barry explained it like this. There's two kinds of relative time. There's the relative time that I go to when I run really, really, fast and the world slows down around me. There's also the relative time that I perceived in my head. See, it feels like I've known you my whole life even though we've only been friends for, like, three years and it feels like I've known her months even though it's been actually less than two weeks. Anyway, when I fall for someone I fall hard and fast and I'm sorry for ignoring you like a jerk." Said Wally bringing his lecture to a close. He looked over at Robin. He was sitting with his knees up to his chest now, thinking really hard. He looked kinda cute when he did that, especially that lower lip biting thing…and now he was going to weird places. It was just because Robin looked kind of girly, that was all. Yeah, that was all.

"Ok. I forgive you." Said Rachel. Robin would have forgave Kid Flash and Rachel would have forgave Wally so there was no debate. Well, there was a little debate. If he fell for her hard and fast, a thought that made her feel all warm inside, then couldn't he fall out of love…or like…really fast too? She didn't want to think about that.

"Really?" asked Wally. That was it? No argument, no reasons why his reasons were stupid?

"Yeah. I mean, we're hanging out now aren't we so it's alright." Said Rachel. She realized how Rachel the way she was sitting was and instantly decided to sit cross legged. That was much less girly. She couldn't help but feel girly around him, he made her feel all fuzzy inside.

"Wow, you are definitely more mature than me." Said Wally in disbelief.

"You're just now realizing this?" asked Rachel, smiling now. This was better. This was more like Robin and Kid Flash. Now all they needed was junk food and videogames.

"So, uh, Superboy left your room alone." Said Wally feeling a little nervous for reasons he couldn't identify.

"Yeah, wanna play something?" asked Rachel. She knew that she needed to get back home but Gotham, hopefully, wouldn't burn down just because she hung out with her best friend/teammate/boyfriend.

"Rob, you read my mind." Said Wally. It was nothing, nothing at all. So Robin looked a little girly, he was an acrobat so had to be small and he was still a kid. All guys looked a little girl before puberty decided to wreak havoc on their bodies. He just missed Rachel so much he was seeing her everywhere. Yes, that was it. He was in no way shape or form attracted to his best friend.
