Summary: Takes place a day or so after Christmas. Rocket joined the team yesterday, but they haven't gotten to know her that well.

Disclaimer: I don't own DC

The team, minus Robin, were all huddled up in the secondary gym with Canary. Their newest recruit, Rocket, was being given her first ever training course by their mentor. She had already impressed the team with her kinetic barriers and remarkable reactions in flight and combat, but of course her fighting skill left much to be desired, and so Canary got to work training her. She got knocked down, Wally made a bad joke, and the next thing anyone knew, they were all forced to partake in the training. The team was less than thrilled by this, and about 15 minutes in, Artemis asked the question everyone was wondering.

"Where's bird-brain? Just cuz it's a Saturday morning and we don't know his ID doesn't mean he can just skip out on all this BS!" Raquel, Connor, and Roy all agreed expeditiously. Even M'gann cocked her head to the side and considered Arty's comment. Zatanna was missing the Boy Wonder's snarky charm at the moment, but she and Wally had seen firsthand how hard he worked both in and out of costume, and so they both had no qualms with him skipping out on training. Though Zatanna would be lying if she said she would rather be here than with him. Only wish I could join him right about now. Kaldur commented back to Artemis.

"We do not know why our teammate chose not to be here, so let us not jump to any conclusions." Canary seconded him.

"Kaldur's right. Trust me, Robin is getting his own training done." The team, minus Kaldur, Wally, and Zatanna, were less than amused.

"Pfft. This was supposed to be us getting to know Rocky over here, and cuz of Baywatch we're all stuck doing these exercises. If we have to, Robin has to." Canary decided to step in before she had a mutiny on her hands.

"That's enough of that. Believe me, Robin is training right now."

"But not with us?" M'gann sensed the tension and tried to change the subject.

"Why are we not in the training room right now? Wouldn't that be more suited for our work?" Canary sighed.

"It's...in usage right now." Connor stepped in.

"By who?! This is OUR turf. The League has their own floating satellite base." Everyone ignored Raquel as she let out a loud "What?!" and Zatanna went to explain to her. Connor continued, "I say we go get our training room back. If we're stuck doing this nonsense, we may as well have a proper setup for it!" The team was in total agreement, and they all marched over to the training room, Canary in tow. However, once they reached the room, their jaws dropped and they took a minute to take in what they were seeing. The room's AR Challenge feature was currently set to Extreme difficulty, something even Artemis and Roy struggled with. But what was MORE shocking was its inhabitant. The team watched closely as Robin was taking down countless hordes of virtually generated goons, all without breaking a sweat or dropping his cocky smirk. Batman, who was monitoring his training, shut off the intercom and turned to Canary, batglare present.

"I thought I said no interruptions." Artemis was beyond confused.

"Why is birdy here doing this? Did he get in trouble or something?" Batman sighed.

"The Batcave's AR Simulator is undergoing...maintenance. We moved here for today's training."

"TODAY'S?!" The entire team, except for Wally, yelled out in confusion.

-So Robin does this every freaking day?!- Damn, that's badass. Just when I thought he couldn't get any hotter. I-I mean, wh-what?!

-Damn, I knew the kid worked hard, but not THIS hard. Even Arty and I have a hard time with this difficulty level-

-Indeed. It seems we have gravely underestimated our teammate- Raquel was pretty uncomfortable with knowing that the youngest member of her new team was on this level, and M'gann must have sensed her worry.

-Hey Raquel, don't worry. Robin is clearly the most advanced of all of us. I don't think any of us would be able to keep up with him here without our powers- Zatanna was currently watching Dick move, and she had to say, she really liked the view. She couldn't name a single person who was more...visually appealing to her than Dick was, and now she understood what the Boy Wonder did to keep in such stellar shape. Damn. That's really hot. I m-mean, uh, HE must be h-hot since he's sweating so m-much! M'gann sensed Zatanna's thoughts as well and smirked as the magician blushed whilst staring at the object of her affection.

Dick took down 3 final baddies with a single spinning motion, and Bruce reactivated the intercom. "Alright, Robin. Warm-up's over." The entire team glared at Bruce and practically dislocated their jaws.

-WARM-UP?!-

"Alright, bring it!" Bruce smirked before switching the sim to Legend difficulty, the second highest level on the sim. Very few people could compete in this level, and even the likes of Black Canary and Wonder Woman struggled without the use of their powers. The only level higher than this was Ultimate, which was impossible to complete unless your name was Bruce Wayne or Oliver Queen. The team looked beyond worried for the Boy Wonder, especially Zatanna. Holy shit! Dad told me Legend is for people like Canary! How the hell can Dick do it?! Oh god, PLEASE be okay!

Dick immediately got to work, flipping in to incapacitate 3 goons. He grappled towards another one, performing a somersault before slamming down on him. He dodged the enemy attacks with relative ease before countering perfectly. Robin then hurled a smoke bomb at a group of thugs, jumping in to take them down when they were disoriented. He was sent flying by a large goon, but he recovered in midair before leaping back to him. Dick stunned him with a wave of his cape before jumping onto his chest and smashing down with both his legs, knocking him out cold and moving on to another set of goons. He pulled out a small stick, battling two thugs at once before positioning the stick in between them and activating it to extend his staff, knocking them both down. Robin spun his staff with vigor, defeating thug after thug as the team watched.

The entire team was floored by the Boy Wonder's display of skill. Zatanna was staring solely at Dick, the worry in her face gone. Upon seeing his performance in combat, her fear for his safety instantly left, making way for a plethora of hormonal thoughts, and she gazed at him with a blush on her cheeks. Wow. He's r-really hot. God, I have to stop that! Can't really blame me, though! I mean, look at him! Even Connor and Kaldur had a look of shock as they watched Robin move through the training sim. Wally was the only one not completely speechless by this. He had seen his best bud in action many times before, and while he never really focused on it, he knew for certain that Dick was the most badass kid he had ever met. The guy kept up with the goddamn Batman at age 8 for crying out loud!

Robin cleaned up the last of the thugs, spinning his staff over his head before it retracted. He casually walked over to the terminal to log his score, and smirked as he saw that he had overtaken Black Canary. Damn. Still 2700 points behind GA and a freaking 5000 behind Bats?! Bruce smirked, clearly very satisfied with Dick's performance, and activated the intercom.

"Nice work."

"You expected any different?"

"Not at all. You tired?"

"You kidding? I was holding back."

"Really now?"

"Hell yeah. I can do this all day!"

"Well, let's just switch over to Ultimate mode then. I wouldn't want to waste your time with child's play."

"Y'see, I would, but I don't wanna embarrass your training programs. It'd be too easy, y'know? Can't have a kid outscore the goddamn Batman! Nobody would take ya seriously."

"Well, clearly your skill is only outweighed by your mercy. Hit the showers and change. I'll have Al clean off your suit."

"Copy that." Dick walked off with a smirk as Zatanna continued to stare and mentally gush over his sweaty, very toned form. Wally was smirking so hard that his face was starting to hurt, and the rest of the team was beyond shocked. Canary turned to them, a look of amusement in her eyes.

"Now, since you all were talking about fair, would you all like to try that?" Everyone furiously shook their heads and sighed as they went back to the secondary gym to continue their exercise. Bruce smirked and looked back to the half-destroyed AR Simulator, birdarang scratches and explosive markings all over it.

"Damn. I gotta get Lucious to upgrade the room's durability."

Remember when I said my upload schedule would change? Well, THAT was a lie. I think I will eventually have to slow down uploads when my teachers start giving out more homework, but for now I can keep the 1-2 uploads daily routine. When I do eventually drop the upload frequency, I will still try to have at the very least 1 chapter every other day, so I won't leave you more than 2 days without an upload. Next chapter will be another Chalant fluff, and then most likely the second to last episode of S1 of YJ, though I may write one or two more fluffs on these two before then depending on if you all want that. I decided to postpone the Dick/Connor and Dick/Kal chapters till after Auld Acquaintance. Feel free to review and leave comments or suggestions. Next chapter up soon.
