Aqualad clenched his fist as he watched Red Arrow interrogate and claw at Artemis, neither he nor Wally seemed happy about the mission, but Wally had left, going to his souvenir room and putting up fake tracker he had gotten for Red Arrow.

"Enough!" he snapped, "If making a mistake makes you a traitor then we are all traitors." Then team seemed to shuffle and Aqualad sighed, everyone had a secret and he knew that, there was no telling who the mole was even if there was one.

They all walked away and he saw Arrow give his last words to Artemis before she left. He would speak with Roy about his harassment of his team for now he focused on Zatanna. He had been informed by Conner and Megan about Zatanna and she said she didn't want any secrets. He respected that.

"I`m sorry Zatanna," he said, he knew they were no longer together, "I would like you to know the team will always trust you, but do not feel discouraged if they start to point fingers, Conner and Artemis already know how it feels not to be trusted as shown tonight."

"I know Aqualad," she smiled softly at him, "Thank you for understanding, do you really believe there's a mole in the team, I`m mean it is SportsMaster, not the most truthful person in the world."

Aqualad nodded regretfully, "As leader, I have to consider the option or risk losing my team."

Zatanna frowned her eyes sympathetic, "Were here for you Kaldur." she said, he nodded his thanks and she turned to leave to her room, leaving him in thought.

He hoped his team was strong enough to survive whatever came next, or risk losing what they took so long too built. Sometimes it felt like a great weight had been placed on his shoulders making him look small. He didn't regret leading the team, but sometime he wondered where they really meant to thrive?

Dick rolled his shoulder painfully as Alfred gave him another shot for the pain, "Next time you`ll think twice before running off." Alfred said scornfully. Dick smiled half-heartedly. "Well sorry to worry you so much but it`s what I do."

"Ah that I know, don't ask me how many times Master Bruce has come in to bleed all over my nice clean floors." Alfred said sourly. Dick laughed, "He does that? No worries I'll cut back on the dodging bullets and stopping car chases." Alfred rolled his eyes and Dick laughed again. Ace groaned lazily as the sounds from the cave echoed off the wall waking him. Alfred dug into his pocket and threw Ace a small dog treat making the large dog jump up and glue himself to the butler.

"Good boy." Alfred smiled patting the dog on the head. Ace only seemed interested in the treats, but he was getting used to the butler. When they were out of rang Dick sighed leaning against the cave wall letting his hair fall into his face. It had been three unbearable days without Talia, he thought he missed her before he left but now he was torn. He had considered begging Zee to take him back now that he had left Talia but he couldn't do that, Talia would still use her as a way to show him he had weaknesses and he believed Zatanna probably hated him for saying what he had said on the roof of top. Hell, he hated himself for it. Why shouldn't she hate him? She had every reason to.

Bruce had been like a rock for him the last few days, he knew Dick was lying about what he told Zatanna and he also felt for him for losing Talia. One night Bruce had told him, "Dick I`m sorry to tell you this but with the life we live, it`s hell but it's a hell we must face alone."

Dick understood what he was saying, alone. No room for anyone else, but he also saw fault in that theory, he had Alfred and Bruce and even the large dog that romps around happily. So maybe Bruce was wrong. He`d have to wait and see where his life led to find that out.

"Robin, break in down in Crime Ally." Batman said, Dick snapped his head up, "Just a break in?"

"Just a few teens but I want to make sure there aren't any new gangs coming in." Batman said, Dick smiled, "Yeah I don't think they`d want any of this!"

Batman rolled his eyes and hoped into the Bat-mobile, Dick jumped in and looked around the car, and smirked at Batman, "overcompensating much?"

"Shut up." Batman growled starting the car with a thunderous roar.

He stepped out the window as the older teen behind him handed him the T.V. He felt uneasy about this, what if the cops showed. "Not still scared are you J-,"

"NO!" he spat venomously cutting him off as he passed the T.V to Richie who carried it down the fire escape. They closed the window, "That`s all!" Jacky half whispered half yelled.

"Haven't your mother`s ever taught you…" He looked up to see two people on the roof, one Batman, he wasn't scared of him but the teen with him looked new, he was a smaller kid and looked a little older than him, the teen shrugged, "Never mind I got nothing." He said as he jumped down landing on one of his friend who was trying to run.

"It`s Batman!" Jacky yelled. As his friend hurried down the escape he fell to the ground making the air leave his lungs leaving him breathless, The teen in the tights landed beside him, kneeling, "I`d stay down if I were you kid." He snickered. The kid jumped away and he sat up coughing. He got to his feet and by the time he did the two partners had tied his friends up and the police were just pulling in. The older man in the mask grabbed the back of his dusty gray shirt and hauled him over to the police car.

He looked up at the officer, "I didn't do anything, it was all them!" he said hopefully to the cop, that had always been a line to get him out of trouble, the cop rolled his eyes, "Sure, just like last time." The cop looked to Batman, "Thanks this one's been some trouble."

He smiled shyly up at the cold man and prayed they wouldn't hand him over to the Dark knight, But the bat only left with his side-kick and he was shoved into the police car, "Please, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time!" he lied.

"Jason, you got to learn, the life of crime just doesn't suit you." The cop growled closing the door on his face.

A/N: I really was at a loss of what to do with the ending of this chapter so I just put this bit in about Jason Todd. Under the Red Hood was so great. If you haven't seen it you should do that now, really I give it five stars!
