Hey peoples! I think most of us have started school again recently. I did today. I'm exhausted. Five hours of straight classes. I might've worked on this a bit during class. Maybe. You can't prove anything. Anyway, I wish everyone already in school good luck. And for those lucky souls who haven't started, I might hate you a bit, but good luck too. This is the second half. Kind of weak, but I really don't know what they would've done. So, this is what you get.

"Recognized Mama Bird B-01. Recognized King Kong B-04." Those were the designations that greeted Nightwing and Superboy as they returned to the cave.

Confusion was one of Nightwing's first emotions. Then followed quickly by anger, then overall humor at the nickname. Conner did not take to it quite the same way as he was glaring in anger.

"Oh, this day just keeps getter better…" He gritted his teeth.

"You taught him how to mess with this thing?!"

"Hey! Standard Bat-training. Nothing to do with me." Nightwing chuckled. Conner clenched a fist.

"I'm not in the mood for this." He grunted, striding off.

"I'm going to find them and maybe hit them, then maybe…" Dick easily caught up.

"Ah, come on. It's a harmless joke. Easily reversible." He reassured his often angry friend.

"Between you and me…I've been worried about Robin lately. He needs friends. That's why I wanted him to stay here while we were gone." Dick muttered to him.

"So, we get the short end of the deal?"

"If it'll make you feel better, I'll fix the computer right now."

"You do realize this can't be the only thing they did?"

"Humor me Kon."

"Recognized Loch Ness Boy B-15.* Recognized Green Queen B-05." Nightwing held back a laugh. M'gann was clearly amused after hearing that. Conner even cracked a smile at La'gaan's new designation.

"What in the name of Neptune's Beard!? Is this thing malfunctioning?"

"Well, this brings back some memories… How many times did I return to the cave to a new name?"

"I remember 17 times. It was only amusing once. That hasn't changed Nightwing." Conner gave his friend a glare.

"I had fun." Conner continued his glaring.

"Fine, just everyone calm down. I'll have this fixed before anyone else comes back." Nightwing reassured the three. La'gaan was clearly still confused.

"This is a joke? How is this funny?"

Meanwhile, the trio of misfits were intently glued to the security feed Robin had tapped into. They had holed up in Robin's room an hour before the intended return of the others in anticipation of this moment.

"This is not good. Not good." Robin muttered.

"Nightwing's going to kill me. Or take me off the team. I'm not sure which is worse."

"Relaaaaaxx." Bart said, filling his mouth with more popcorn.

"You worry too much. You should be having fun with us."

Robin still did not breathe easy. "Right… It's only a matter of time."

"Don't be such a downer!"

Garfield spoke up. "I can't wait to see the look on La'gaan's face when he tries to take his nightly shower!" Both boys stared at him.

"Whaaat?"

"How do you even know that…never mind." Robin trailed off.

"Gar, I worry about you sometimes." Bart said to Garfield's grinning face.

"I thought you promised no one could mess with the system now, Nightwing." M'gann stated, with a slight frown. She wasn't angry, but slightly annoyed. Conner glared at Nightwing again.

"No normal person can. The boys got to Robin."

"Oh, come on. Robin's not me. I'm sure he just got caught up in the moment with the others. Besides, you remember I changed the designations all the time."

"That was mainly for Roy." M'gann added.

Nightwing snickered at the memories. "He sure does hate being called Speedy."

"Yeah, what about the other 17 times you did it to me!" Conner was sure in a bad mood.

"That's not the point. The point is—the boys are pulling pranks. I'll take care of this. Everyone just go to bed." They murmured in slight agreement before heading off to their rooms.

It wasn't long before Nightwing felt the presence of the boys. They only came out when he was alone.

"Sooo, what else did you do?"

"Nothing." Bart and Garfield chimed. Tim stared at his older brother with guilt.

"Right. What did you do to La'gaan's room?"

"What makes you think we did anything?" Garfield answered, with a huge smile. Nightwing raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, that face. You just confirmed it. How bad?" A shriek filled the cave as the La'gaan reentered the main room, covered in white, lumpy sauce.

"La'gaan! What's wrong?" Nightwing asked with some amusement.

"Shower! Fish! Strange liquid!"

"Mission success, guys!"

"Thanks Rob."

"Yeah, couldn't have done it without you!"

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" A roar was added to the onslaught of voices.

"WHO BLEACHED ALL MY SHIRTS!?" Nightwing stared at Robin now.

"You bleached his shirts?"

"Umm…not really. Well, not intentionally, maybe." Robin winced at the commotion around him. La'gaan was chasing the boys. Not a very smart idea when one could change shape and the other was a speedster.

"It was an accident. I might've dropped a bottle of bleach in Conner's laundry. And then the machine…got turned on?" Dick stared at him in confusion.

"What were you doing with bleach?"

"Hiding it from Bart." All Nightwing could do was smile at him. Tim looked…happy, scared, but happy.

"In my defense there was a lot of ice cream and sugar and peer pressure involved. I got caught up in everything." He stared at Nightwing.

"You must be disappointed in me."

Nighwing lowered his voice, just for Tim to hear.

"Actually, don't tell anyone I said this, but I'm so proud of you. You're living up to the Robin legacy…" He gave a small hug to the younger boy.

"I HEARD THAT, NIGHTWING!"

"Dang. Super hearing. YOU CAN'T PROVE I SAID ANYTHING, KON!"

"THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TOO! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"

"I THOUGHT WE WORKED ON YOUR ANGER MANAGEMENT SKILLS!" Nightwing yelled back at him, before turning to Robin.

"I don't feel like being super punched. I'm going to run now. You should too."

"Batcave?" Robin asked, hopeful. A loud crash and more yelling from La'gaan.

"Defiantly the Batcave."

*I don't know any knew desginations other than what they've given us. I just put down a number.

Anyways, have fun people and I hope to have some time, but I might be super busy with all my classes... Leave a review?
