Wow nearly two weeks since I last updated; Sorry about that: truth be told it was due to pure laziness and putting this off. Can't guarantee I won't do it again. But here's a new chapter. Enjoy yourselves! And Happy belated 4th of July.

The eight of us are now in Hong Kong taking in the sites before the mission begins tonight. Roy and Kori has taken a mutual liking to each other and he asks my permission to get with her and it really is no concern of mine; Kori and I are just friends. Connor is clearly amused with Roy, I'm guessing because they have already spent so much time together. Much later I had personal business to take care and I left the seven of them at one of my safe houses. I went to visit an old "acquaintance" of mine, Suzie Su, the biggest, fat-ass human on the planet. I really didn't come to mess with her, but she instigated it and I finished way sooner than I would have liked. What I came for was a special version of my suit; I'll need for the upcoming return to the Acres of All.

Later on we are all in the plane of another associate of mine, whose village I once protected during my travels before Gotham, and to my surprise, we were flying over an electrical storm in the Himalayas. She started to complain but we actually were at our arrived destination. As for the jump:

Red Hood: "All right guys, jump now!"

Ravager: "This is so crazy, jumping out during an electrical storm. I love it."

Starfire: "So what did I miss?"

Ravager: "Apparently the big, bad Red Hood still has a soft side to him."

Arsenal: "Yeah and whoa! Check out those wings!"

What Roy is referring to is the six different blades on my arms which do look like wings.

Starfire: "I thought the term of that phrase was "buns." But yes they are impressive in a totally human way."

Miss Martian: "I don't think that is what Roy meant Kori. Jason, are you certain that this is necessary? We're about to crash into a mountain!"

Red Hood: "Yes, M'Gann, this is the only way. It would be a very bad idea for you or BB to ascend right now."

Beast Boy: "Noted!"

Green Arrow: "Brace for impact."

Once the seven volunteers see Jason phase through the mountain, they are shocked and relieved.

Black Bat: "Or not."

All of us safely land inside one of the temples and I am saddened that the first image that I see is my mentor's deceased body. I've seen a lot of horrible things in my life. Some of them by my hand. But this, she's lived for thousands of years and now she is gone.

Red Hood: "I'm sorry I wasn't here for you, Ducra. I'm sorry you sent me away. I'm sorry that I let you."

Ducra: "No time for tears, man-child… nor regret. An Untitled was here. A very powerful one."

Red Hood: "Here? That's madness!"

Ducra: "It awayed with Azar. It broke into the Chamber of All."

Red Hood: "I'll find it Ducra and I'll avenge you all."

Ducra: "Psh! Always the avenging with you. It's as if you never learned anything, Jason Todd. Keep your heart free of vengeance, man-child. I'll see you in a better place."

Red Hood: "But not too soon, teacher."

Soon after the corpses begin to reanimate and I am forced to take them all down. I couldn't use my guns on them, I respected them too much for that and they gave me back a life I thought I'd never have again. Once the mind-link was up, we all spent the next few minutes fighting the deceased monks and we all complemented each other in battle.

Beast Boy: "Talk about taking out the trash. Ow!"

Miss Martian: "Be more respectful little brother."

Red Hood: "They weren't trash, Garfield. They were warriors and teachers. Aside from you all and the League, they may have been the greatest people I have ever known."

Beast Boy: "Sorry about that Jason, I didn't mean-"

Red Hood: "It's okay, I know."

For once in my life, I pray for every member lost here. Connor joins me with the prayer and Kori, M'Gann and Cassandra place their hands on my shoulders, offering me comfort; it felt nice and I haven't felt that in a long time. Maybe this team-thing can work out after all.

Later on, I guide them to the Chamber of All and introduce them to S'aru the proctor; he maybe 4 millennia old but he can very childish. He also looks like the character Dhalsim from Street Fighter. While the others are quipping about his personality and how I might shoot him, I do have control over myself enough to tell him that I have find out why this guy broke the truce between our groups. As collateral for this "quest", S'aru decides to take our most precious memories from us and the only way to get them back is to return and show our next destination.

S'aru: "Fine. But I'm taking your most precious memories you have as collateral. You can have them back – if you return."

Rose: "Well that's a bit unfair."

Connor: "It'll have to be acceptable if we hope to catch this Untitled."

Cassandra: "This better not interfere with my false meta-gene power. "

Kori: "Um actually…"

Roy: "Really Kori? Don't you forget everything like five minutes later?"

Kori: "Only the unimportant stuff. Ray, wasn't it?"

Rose & Garfield: "Burn!"

S'aru: "Behind that door, everything awaits."

Roy: "Don't get used to our memories, dude. We'll be right back."

S'aru: "I'm certain."

Roy: "Shout out if you need me, guys."

Kori: "Wait, what? You're not coming with us, Roy?"

Connor: "He is but that is just his "humor, Kori. "

S'aru POV

While the group is traversing the Chamber of All to find the location of the Untitled responsible for annihilating the All-Caste and breaking the treaty, I decide to break protocol and look into the nine members cherished memories. Miss Martian's cherished memory was a combination of two: her first kiss with Superboy that started her relationship and when he gave her another chance after her attempted tampering with his mind. The Beast Boy's favorite memory was after the terrible death of his mother, Marie. When M'Gann promised to look after him, it truly did become more than a "blood-sibling" relationship. Starfire's memorable memory was while she was enslaved by the Citadel: one of the guards had showed her compassion, saying he wanted her to be free. She did thank him but she also killed him, asserting her authority as a princess that no one should look down on her or underestimates her.

Arsenal's favorite memory surprisingly it did not come from his clone rescuing him. In his lowest moment since his return, he recognized how everyone on the League and Team preferred his clone over him. He also felt jealous over how Red Arrow had the life he wanted: a beautiful yet deadly wife and the daughter that was technically his. When he hadn't been kept in contact with Oliver, he thought it best to not continue his second life, seeking death from his enemies. One night he stumbled upon Waylon Jones (Killer Croc) in a drunken state and was getting thrashed around Star City. Once Croc had figured out his endgame, he placed Roy into a rehabilitation facility to get the help he needed; Roy was forever thankful to Waylon for giving a damn about his life. Green Arrow's precious memory was a collection of memories associated with getting to know his father. One morning Oliver read the newspaper about the death of Tim Drake's father and the words survived by his son resulted in Oliver embracing his son.

Ravager's unforgettable memory was the mentoring she was given to by Nightwing. Sure he was coerced by her father, Deathstroke but she benefitted of being taught how to be a hero. Especially after her father, who did love her, deceived her into wearing a green kryptonite eye after she took out her own eye as a test of faith to her father. When Nightwing told her that information, she chose to sever all ties with her father and join on the hero crusade, though with her own moral code. Black Bat's cherished memory was when she was the second Batgirl and her father, David Cain had planned to assassinate Oracle. She had been tricked and used by her father since her birth and after he forced her to kill for the first time, the training she obtained in reading into a person's movements showed her the despair in causing death, placing onto her a guilt that could never be erased. When she became Batgirl, she had a bit of a deathwish that when she confronted Cain to save her mentor and surrogate mother-figure, she didn't want or need to save Cain from falling over the edge. But at the last second, she moved to save him and he survived the fall. Batman and Robin congratulated her for not killing him and the former decided to formally adopt her into the family. She had finally had a place where she belonged.

Red Hood POV:

We all return from the Chamber after dealing with one of Ducra's pets. I had never been inside before but it is everything the monks told us it would be: a certified deathtrap. The Untitled's location was delivered by a clue that is to a say a Colorado snow globe. When we made are escape into the portal, there was some chatter about the experience and Arsenal still grumbling on about being saved by a girl: emasculating he said. He really needs to let it go as well as Kori needing to tone down about being the princess of Tameran.

S'aru: "Oh! You all made it back."

Ravager: "You really doubted us?"

Black Bat: "Give us our memories back."

S'aru: "Of course. Did your journey pay off?"

Red Hood: "Any idea of the significance of this thing? Or why the Untitled left it behind?"

S'aru: "Sorry, I have no idea why. Take your memories now."

Arsenal: "No doubt this is about the one about the twin girls and the whipped cream."

Green Arrow: "Roy, we've talked about this before. Stop being such a pig and nobody cares."

Miss Martian (smirking): "Wow Connor. For a Buddhist monk, you can be cold-blooded."

Beast Boy: "Aren't you going to take yours back, Jason?"

Red Hood: "No! You keep it, S'aru."

The memory is starting to fade but I do recognize it as we depart: the Christmas of 2012. I'm not sure if it's to distance myself further from Bruce or my past as Robin, but I can't have it slow me down. I don't consider it a weakness to do this but if I ever have to fight against him, I won't kill him but I will need to be more ruthless. Once we leave the Acres of All, Miss Martian calls the bio-ship to take us to Colorado. Time to finish this mission.

AN: This story ends after two more chapters. Next up is Colorado and I will omit the Crux part of that but I will include a special section of Batman & Robin #10. You'll know what I'm talking about. Until then.
