"The cave you are most afraid to enter holds the treasure you seek."

Dick pulled the curtains back and smiled, it was just like he remembered. The shining lights, the screaming crowds and the pie throwing clowns. All there. He motioned for the others to follow and they stayed on the sidelines as they walked to the other side of the tent and into the room that was covered.

Opening it up they walked inside and Dick stiffened when he saw a tall blonde man. The man looked at him, "We`ll if it isn't the Daring Dangers." He walked over to them, "I`m Ray, and I`m late!" he said looking at his watch; Dick tried to duck as Ray rubbed his head, "Good luck champ!"

Dick narrowed his eyes, he didn't need luck, he had his skills and that was fine with him. He looked to the others, "Were on in five minutes get ready, and don't blow our cover."

Red Arrow, Miss Martian and Superboy started to talk and he could tell by the anger in Superboy`s hushed tone it wasn't a good chat. Something gabbed his arm and he instinctively reached for his belt hidden under the suit, But he realized he didn't need it when he met Artemis`s hard stare.

"Artemis,-." He was about to say something but she put her hand up stopping him.

"You better not hurt anyone here, like last time, if I find out you're planning something then," she paused and he got the very bloody and graphic picture. He couldn't help but smile though. He lend forward and he saw her tense, "Your mother forgave me Arty," He used the nick name he used to call her during training, "Why can't you?"

She pushed his away making him stumble; he caught himself before the others had a chance to notice their dispute. Artemis`s eyes burned into his, "Because I`m the one that trusted you to not be like my father." She spat.

He was about to say something but a man, unknown to them poked his head into the tent; "You're on."

Dick nodded and the rest of the team walked out he was about to walk out when suddenly a nauseating feeling wasted over him. He realized his palms were starting to sweat. Superboy looked behind him, "You ok?"

"Yeah. I`m fine." He said, Conner didn't look quiet convinced but he seemed smart enough not to pursue the thought. Robin walked out into the center ring. His head felt woozy and heavy, what the hell was wrong with him.

"….All preformed without the safety of a net!" Dick reached out for Miss Martian`s hands and he felt her fingers lightly but the tip of his. Then he stated to fall, he growled.

ROBIN! Miss Martian cried.

Don't blow our cover! He snapped, the crowd screamed in horror. He couldn't help picture the day his parents feel, Dick shook the thought and twisted in the air. He wasn't going to die!

What about saving your life, is that Ok? Superboy asked throwing a barrel his way. Dick made contact and the barrel soared where Miss M swung, his hand almost brushed hers but the barrel stopped and started to descended, Dick saw Miss Martian`s eyes start to glow.

No! He snapped. He kicked off the barrel and grabbed her hand. They swung back to the plat form and started to wave to the crowd. What did I say about not blowing our cover?

I had to save you Robin, pulse I`ve been using my powers all night, the crowd can't see me, I'm not an acrobat." She said.

Yeah, well neither am I right now.

What do you mean? Roy asked. Dick cursed himself; did all his thoughts go into this mind link?

Nothing, it`s just my arm, I`m alright now. He lied and he could tell they all knew it, but the silence they gave was golden. He sighed, the show must go on.

Dick swung on the rope holding tightly, the wind splashed against his face making him feel a little better but his hand started to sweat on the bar. He quickly changed his position on the bar getting a awe from the crowd, now he was hanging by his legs and he reached out to Miss Martian. She grabbed just above his wrists and he held on.

Don't you dare drop her! He winched, Artemis`s voice didn't sound good in his head at the moment. He would never let go of Miss M but right now he was struggling to keep himself in the air and off the ground below. They made it to the plat form and Artemis, Conner, and Roy distracted the crowed with their exploding colorful arrows while they had a chance to rest.

Are you sure you're ok? Miss Martian asked looking at him, Dick wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at her, I`m fine.

Don't we have a job to do? Artemis snapped.

Dick snapped his head in her direction, cool it Artemis! This isn't the time, or the place!

No, it`s not. Dick widened his eyes as she saw her point her arrows toward them, you wouldn't. He challenged.

Try me. She reverted the arrows far enough from them to keep them on their feet but the blast for the confetti let out a smoke discharge leaving them hacking up dust.

Artemis, cool it! He snapped again.

When did you become my boss? She spat.

What the hell is going on! Roy yelled. Dick winched as the sound sent waves of pain throw his head.

NOTHING! They yelled at Roy.

Trying to explain anything to you would be pointless, you`d just call us traitors and move on with your day. Superboy snarled.

My suspicions of a mole on the team are justified! I only came on this mission so I could see if there were any traitors, right now I see a whole bunch. Roy stated calmly shooting arrows into one of Superboy`s barrels.

There`s a mole on your team? How am I a suspect? Robin spat. He sailed off on the bar to the other side.

Oh please! How are you not is more like it! You're in great terms with the League of shadows, you have to know something about the light, you`ve broken into Mnt. Justice at least three or four times and you went out with Zatanna!

Dick stumbled onto the platform, she told you that?

Miss Martian was the one to reply softer, more sympathetic, she didn't want to have any secrets from us after…

After I broke up with her He sighed.

For all we know you were both sharing information about the team. Roy spat. Dick rounded on him.

Leave Zee out of this!

You obviously didn't! Artemis said.

Zatanna is a valued member of the team, unlike you Arrow! Superboy snapped.

Dick suddenly had to lean on the post of the platform just to stay up right, these thought were taking a lot out of him, not to mention continually swinging back and forth between platforms, Miss Martian swung up beside him a worried look on her face. Dick grabbed his head as the ragging of the team dragged on.

QUIET! Miss Martian yelled. Something seemed to pull from his mind and everything went silent. He could tell the others felt the same thing as they looked up at them. Megan looked at him, "I pulled out to the link, something's wrong with you Robin and they aren't helping."

"No, No," he swallowed, "I…I`m fine." He said, he knew it was a lie, black spots seemed to dance in his vision and he stomach felt like it was going to hurl chunks. He saw Haly coming to the center ring. He and Miss Martian slid down the pole to the ground and walked to the center with the others coming up beside them.

"Ladies and gentlemen… The Daring DANGERS!" Haly yelled into the mic. The crowd cheered and they raised their hands in acknowledgment. After it slowly died down they made their way behind the curtains.

Dick leaned against the large boxes of toys letting his mind drift back to him and him alone.

"What the hell," Artemis snapped at Megan, "why`d you do that."

Megan sighed, "You guy wouldn't shut up and it`s putting strain on Robin." They all looked at him and he growled, "I`m fine! I don't need any of your sorrows or pity." He spat coldly. Artemis rolled her eyes.

Conner shrugged, "Maybe you have the flu that's going around."

"Where`d you hear that?" Roy asked.

"I hear everything." He said. Robin swallowed and started to walk away to the trailer, "Make sure you're ready." He told them.

"For what?" Artemis asked. He looked over his shoulder, "Were going out."

"Watch out the crates are full of live ammo!" Dick gasped hearing Red Arrows cry and he grabbed Miss M who was next to him and they leapt for the ground. He knew fire was killing her and he got up his head feeling fuzzy.

"I`ll go get the thief!" Superboy yelled.

"No! Superboy get Miss M out of here!" he snapped, Superboy turned around and Robin continued, "The fire is killing her."

"Right!" he said he pick Megan up and raced away. Dick growled and started into the flames. Roy grabbed his upper arm, "Where are you going?"

"We have to catch the thief!" he yelled. Suddenly his legs gave out and sweat rolled down his face. Roy helped him up and for once he didn't object to feeling totally weak. "And that's more important than your life?" Artemis came up on his other side and Dick looked at her hopefully. She narrowed her eyes and whispered just low enough for only him to hear, "This changes nothing."

He nodded his face becoming hard once more as they struggled out of the building.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dick looked down at Miss M as sweat started to ease down her face, "Sorry Miss M I mean Dawn." he said. She smiled back at him. "Don't worry I`ll be fine."

"Do you remember what happened to you?" Roy asked.

She nodded, "It happened when I boarded the train it came on suddenly."

Dick nodded, "Same here, right after Ray rubbed my head for good luck." Dick narrowed his eyes and he met Superboy's gaze.

"The guy must be a walking pea trey dish." Conner growled. Dick nodded he didn't think so, sickness didn't happen like that, everything took time to get into the system, even food poisoning took at least 24 hours to take effect. "Maybe." Dick walked out of the room and into the hall, he was thankful he saw Jack in the hall wheeling something. "Hey Jack." He said. Haly smiled at him, "I see you're feeling better Dan." He said, Dick nodded, "How long has Ray worked for you?"

Jack thought for a moment that looked back to him, "Just at the start of the European tour."

"Thanks." He said.

He looked aback to the team and Artemis spoke up, "Let's go chat with Ray."

"Good idea, let's split up we might be able to find him better."

The team nodded and they separated. Dick headed the way Jack had come from and raced down the halls. He stopped hearing a muffled yell. It was silent and he was starting to think he might be hallucinating. Then he heard it again. Dick busted the closet door open and his eyes widened when he saw Haly.

Dick raced over to him and untied his mouth, "Who did this to you?"

"Ray!" Dick didn't need any more convincing he raced out of the closet hearing Jack calling him but he continued on, the sudden sick, woozy, weak feeling, the criminal that seemed to have every trait in the circus. It all made sense! He knew who he was and it wasn't good.

"I got him but he`s on to me!" Superboy growled into the com. "Going topside." Dick opened the car door and climbed to the top seeing Superboy and Ray. "Superboy, don't get to close! He`s the parasite!"

Dick saw the rest of the team make it to the roof, "Say at a safe distance but subdue!" he yelled, this wasn't good.

Robin inserted the chip into the dash board and laughed, "but do any of them stop me from sabotaging your death thingy?"

"This one does." Parasite growled, Dick jumped out of the way as lasers shot out of the villain's eyes and torched the computer. "Ha!" he yelled. Their plan was going perfectly. Dick watched at the team quickly set the foam aflame and how Parasite lost consciousness and the police came and apprehended the criminal.

Dick smiled. This was a great mission! He walked up to Roy and the others as they were talking, "Either one of you could or betrayed us tonight but you didn't, there is no mole."

Dick smiled, Young justice seemed to be back on good terms, Dick looked over to Artemis and she caught his eye, and narrowed hers. He sighed, whatever friend ship they had was long gone, burned, destroyed, and it wasn't ever coming back.

Dick shook his teammate hands, "I`ll see you guys later."

Megan looked disappointed, "You're not coming back with us?" Dick smiled, thinking about the circus.

"I have to tell Haly were leaving. I catch up with you guys later." He said.

They waved good-bye and Dick headed back to the Haly international circus. Dick would always love this place; this would always be his first home. They least he could do was help them out. He wished he could stay. Get away for the life he used to live. But he was happy. He had friends that cared for him. He had a family. He couldn't and wouldn't ever trade that up.

Dick knocked on the door and Haly opened it, "Dan! What are you doing come inside before you catch a cold."

Dick did so and he smiled at the flying Grayson poster on Jack Haly`s wall. Memories.

"So, the show will go on," Haly smiled at him, "An I feel I have you Dangers to thank." Dick smiled innocently his eyes shining slightly, "I don't know what you mean."

Haly chuckled light, "Of course not, But I`m guessing you`ll be leaving now." He sighed regretfully. Dick shook his old friend's hand, "time to move on."

"Well Dick, I`ll miss you." He said casually.

Dick`s eyes widened and his breath hitched, "Its Dan, Dan Danger." He knew he didn't sound as convincing as he would have liked.

Haly smiled softly placing a hand on his shoulder, "Son, you`ve grown, but some things never change, like the sight of a Grayson on the trapeze. You can't fake that, can't hide it, so do an old ring master one last favor?"

Dick smiled slightly, Haly was a great man. Dick could see the pride in Haly`s eyes and he knew right then and there if Jack Haly was proud so were his parents, he wouldn't be here, at the circus, right now if he was still with Talia, this was right, this was where he was supposed to be.
