Disclaimer- Seriously? I don't own it for the LAST TIME!

Sorry about not updating. I went camping and had NO INTERNET ACCESS! But I'm back and here to tell you that I think this fanfic has ten or fifteen chapters left. Now this is where it gets good! XD

Note- I'm skipping forward so that the team and Robin have a somewhat better relationship with one another. (Not to mention that it's time for the villain to come into the story!)

Chapter 20

_Six Months Later_

A lot can happen in six months. For example, after telling the team about his secret identity (kind of), Robin and the team seemed to have a certain understanding with one another. They wouldn't ask him personal questions and he wouldn't lie to them about things. As you can imagine, this irked Robin for a while but soon grew used to it and somewhat grew attached to his teammates just after three months.

Once he grew attached, Robin decided to move into Mount Justice so he wouldn't have to go back and forth. (That's what he told the team anyway). His real reason had nothing to do with the fact that he had grown attached (well, it did but he would never admit it). It had everything to do with the fact that he had to keep moving so Slade wouldn't find him.

The team, unaware of why Robin decided to move in, were almost too happy to help Robin move in despite the fact that Robin insisted that he needed none. After he moved in, he and the team fell into what Robin had longed for: a family. (Well, they weren't a normal family but did that matter?)

Wally, having sensing what Robin had been thinking, had made sure that his teammates knew that Robin didn't think of them as "stupid heroes". He had made sure that they knew that Robin now thought them as friends and teammates but told them to act as if they knew nothing. It would hurt Robin's pride if they knew what he truly thought of them.

They, of course, agreed and now three months after Robin had moved in, were closer than before. They were now in blissful moods and didn't mind the harsh training that they were given by Black Canary.

But that bliss would soon be ruined . . .

All because of a simple mission.

_Present, Location: Mount Justice, Robin's POV_

It was suppose to be a simple mission, something that wouldn't come bite them in the butts.

But it didn't turn out to be like that. Sportsmaster, the one who's Artemis' father, showed up and seemed to recognize Robin.

But Sportsmaster didn't recognize Robin as his hero identity.

He recognized Robin as the one Slade had been looking for the last five years, as someone that Robin had been so long ago.

Red X.

"Robin . . . Are you okay, dude?" Wally asked, his hand on Robin's shoulder.

Robin scoffed and shook off Wally's hand. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because it's obvious that Slade hasn't given up! Rob, why aren't you freaking out? I thought that you DIDN'T want him to find you!"

"I don't, Wally . . . I guess I just can't believe that this is really happening."

Wally gave Robin a sympathetic look. "Hey, at least we have him in custody. With Uncle Barry watching him, there's no way he'll get out. That way he can't go tell Slade where you are."

Robin shook his head, sadness stirring in his awakened heart. "Wally . . . you don't understand . . . I'm going to have to leave again."
