Summary: Takes place about a month after Dick becomes Nightwing

Disclaimer: I don't own DC

"Jason, this is not up for debate." The current Robin scowled at his mentor's seriousness, crossing his arms with his eyes narrowed.

"Why? Why do I have to do this shit?"

"Because you need more field training, training that I can't give you in Gotham. Besides, you need to learn to work with others. Not every problem can be solved by you and I alone." Jason scoffed.

"Why do I need to work with a bunch of dumb kids? Why not the Justice League?" From the side, Dick snickered as he heard that remark. Any one of the 'dumb kids' Jason was referring to could put him on his ass in a matter of seconds. Bruce had been doing his best with the training, but Jason was stubborn as hell. He was still leagues behind even the weakest member of the team.

"Have some respect for the team. They managed to take the League down on New Years' when the Light mind-wiped us with minimal injury. You could stand to learn a lot from them." Jason once again scoffed as Bruce continued. "If you ever hope to join the Justice League, you have to learn how to be a team player, and the team is the perfect place for you to learn that. Additionally, you could use the training. You're not exactly the hardened warrior you think yourself to be. This is us trying to help you, Jason." Jason stayed silent, and Bruce turned to Nightwing. "Dick?"

"Let's go, Wonder Boy. And try to stay traught around these guys. They're my best friends, I don't want you picking fights or anything." Jason muttered something incomprehensible under his breath as Dick texted Barbara.

Finally got him to go. We're on our way now.

Really? From all the yelling last time Bruce asked him, I'da thought he'd never join the team.

Yeah, we basically just told him to join or kiss the League goodbye.

You sure you want playboy Jr. around Zatanna? Dick sighed.

She can handle herself around people like Jay. It's fine. Dick put his phone away and activated the Zeta tubes, authorizing Jason and granting him a Zeta tube designation so he could use the tubes to get to the cave whenever he wanted.

"Recognized, Nightwing, B-01, Robin, B-15" The whole team, with the exception of Barbara, looked on in extreme confusion. Nightwing and Robin? How?

"C'mon, Jay, it's not that bad! You'll like them." Behind Dick came a boy about 3-4 inches shorter than Zatanna, clad in a familiar yet different uniform with jet black hair that matched Connor's. Everyone looked on in disbelief as the new Robin stepped in front of them. He looked them over and scoffed a bit, though he sent his version of a charming smile to the girls, which caused Dick and Barb to roll their eyes. Kaldur was the first to ask what they all were wondering.

"My friend, who is this?" Dick scratched the back of his head.

"This, uh, he's my…brother." Dick could tell they were all still confused, but before he could speak, Robin puffed out his chest and smirked, focusing mostly on Zatanna, Donna, and the others.

"Jason Todd. The new and improved Robin." Most of the team looked at him as if they didn't believe him, and Dick whacked the back of his head smirking.

"In your dreams, rookie." Jason scoffed and walked past the group, letting his eyes roam the vast hall of the cave. Everyone turned back to Dick, and Donna stepped up to him.

"Explanation. Now." It didn't take long for Dick and Babs to explain Jason's backstory and new role as Robin, and by the time they were done, Jay was bored out of his mind. He walked up to Dick, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Golden Boy, are we getting this thing started or what?" Dick grinned at his new nickname and nodded. The past few weeks he had been spending with Jason meant they were closer than ever. He could finally legitimately call Jason his brother and mean it. Of course they butted heads every now and then, as all brothers do, but they were there for each other when it counted, and while Jason didn't always show it, he really did look up to Dick as a role model.

"Yeah, let's get going. I'll give you the tour." Jason nodded before turning to see Zatanna. He looked her over for a second before grinning and turning back to Dick.

"If it's all the same to you, I think I'd rather have your girl here gimme the tour." Dick threw him a dirty look as Zatanna, Wally, and Arty snickered, and Barbara scoffed before grabbing him by the hand and dragging him with her onto the tour.

Once they had finished giving Jason the tour, he walked back into the living room, stopping a bit before as Barbara went in. Dick noticed his hesitance and turned to him. "What's up?"

"Why am I here? I'm Batman's partner, I don't belong with these chumps." Dick frowned and shook his head.

"Bruce told you he wanted you to learn how to be a team player. And don't underestimate the others, they'd surprise you."

"Why do I have to do this? I don't wanna waste my time with this bullshit."

"Because Batman said so. And I agree with him. C'mon, it's not as bad as you think it is. Maybe this way you can make some friends." Jason scoffed.

"Yeah, I don't think so. I'm leagues ahead of these losers." Dick smirked at the younger Robin.

"Prove it. Join the team for a few weeks, prove that you're Justice League material, and then maybe I'll talk Bats into letting you leave. Otherwise, you're stuck here until you can learn to play well with others. Deal?" Jason smirked.

"Deal." Jason walked into the room with a smirking Dick in tow, and he tried his best to get along with the others. Dick smirked as he saw Jason try to hit on Zatanna, and his smirk only widened as Zee effortlessly shot him down and ruffled his hair. A few minutes later, he got a call from Bats, which he stood up and walked over to a corner to take.

"Grayson."

"Hey, it's me. How's he doing?" Dick looked back to Jason, who was messing around with Wally and Garth.

"Surprisingly well. He's actually getting along with the others, how'd you pull that off?"

"He really wants to be in the League. No wonder he's trying his best here, he knows I won't let him join until he learns to play well with others." Dick smirked.

"Well, whatever you did, nice job. I don't think I've ever seen him interact with people with actual manners before. I'll keep you posted on his training with the team and his mission progress."

"Thanks. And Dick, keep an eye on him. He's good, but reckless. I don't want him getting hurt because he didn't look before he leaped."

"Copy that, Bats. I've gotta go, Zee's calling me. Don't worry about him, I'll keep an eye on the kid." Dick hung up and sat next to his girlfriend, pecking her on the lips as he wrapped an arm around her. He was intent on keeping his promise to watch over his brother for Bruce, for both the kid's sake and his own. He didn't want anything happening to Jason, and he felt a strange sense of responsibility over the boy. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew whatever it was, he had to follow it.
