I'm soo sorry for not updating in ages! I just got out of major writers block and hating everything I wrote. I still hate everything I write but I couldn't hold this story up like this any longer. I'm not going to abandon it as of now. And about something else...I'd really like to do a sort of story-trade with someone. Like, they give me a pairing or a prompt and I give them a pairing or a prompt and we just switch ideas. Would anyone like to do that? Please PM me if you're interested! By the way, I'll be calling it TSSC from now on since "Two Sides of the Same Coin" is just a little too long to write repeatedly. I hope this chapter was worth the wait...

I don't own the characters. On with the story!

Dick

I woke up early this morning to get to the mountain. Hopefully I can talk to him this time. I have so many questions... I hope he's got some aspirin. I grinned at the thought.

At le mountain(the T tower is totally cooler-)

I walked into the kitchen to find a weirdly domestic scene in front of me. Red X and... uh... Robin,(it's so weird to call him that...) were making sure M'gann didn't burn the kitchen down and Superboy, for once, wasn't covered in eggs and flour. I took a seat next to Supey on one of the stools, just watching as the two dimension travellers chatted while making breakfast.

"Well, turns out red headed aliens are great at cooking no matter the dimension, eh?" Red snarked. He wasn't wearing his mask. I tried not to frown as I didn't get it. It seemed to be an inside joke of sorts. "And you were right about the extra eggs, he came here at just the time you said he would!"

I was startled. I thought they didn't realize I was there... And he was expecting me? When did I become so easy to read?...

General POV

"Hey kid, don't drag yourself down. Mr. Psychic here is always like that." Red said, "Ever get tired of analyzing people to hell, chuckles?" He continued playfully. Robin smirked.

"Old habits die hard, X." His voice got teasing. "Now, are you going to help me out here or am I just going to have to wait until Chang gets involved or someone else decides to steal from me and makes you jealous?" Red put his hand over his heart dramatically.

"You found out my darkest, deepest secret, kid. I am jealous." He practically purred out the last sentence. Robin just snorted and rolled his eyes under his mask. Again, you couldn't see it, but you just felt the eye-rolling. Red apparently got the message, though, and started putting the eggs on plates and handing them out. M'gann blushed a little shamefully.

"I'm so sorry, you're guests here and I shouldn't have made you cook... I heard it was impolite on the fifty seventh episode of-" she blushed. "Nevermind..." she smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay, I cook at the tower when Cy's busy, out of commision or just plain lazing off, anyways." Robin reassured her. Dick filed away the tower comment to ask about later with his ever growing pile of questions.

"And I'm a big boy and live by myself, so I cook too." Red said.

"Yeah, when you aren't surviving on instant noodles..." Red snorted.

"You aren't the only one with a busy life, bird boy." It was Robin's turn to snort.

"I don't see you handling 52 complex cases within the deadline of a week... 4 Times a month."

"Well, don't hop on cases too late, then." Robin sighed.

"The police department is okay with us and all, and the commisioners' a nice guy, but they still refuse to accept that they can't solve a case until it's just a week left before the case goes cold."

"Sounds like a certain stubborn and prideful leader of the Teen Titans I know... How do you find the time to update your little news clipping shrine, anyways?" Robin rolled his eyes at the last part.

Dick filed away even more questions to ask...

They ate their breakfast and Superboy and Dick noted that the eggs weren't burnt at all and actually tasted pretty good. And Dick would be lying if he said he wasn't a little wary of the food being poisoned, the two had avoided the JL in the Watchtower for hours, after all. Speaking of which... More questions...

A few hours later...

Superboy, Dick, M'gann, Robin and Red X were lounging in the 'living room' area when the zeta tubes announced the arrivals of the rest of their teammates.

Greetings were exchanged and the rest of the teens also settled comfortably in the 'living room'. That's when Dick decided to start asking his questions. This was going to be more than an 'undercover interrogation' he had decided, and he wanted his friends to also hear the answers.

"So... They said you avoided the Justice League for 7 hours, in the Watchtower, nonetheless." He asked carefully, trying to sound like he was just curious. The two dimension travellers saw through it quite easily, though.

"Well, I know the Watchtower like the back of my hand, and this one wasn't much different from ours. The League's strategy was familiar as well." Robin said.

"But you still got caught after 7 hours." Artemis pointed out. Red snorted.

"'Caught'? We let ourselves get caught. We could have snuck around for days, and then when one of them threw caution to the wind, we could have fled. You would have never seen us in the first place."

"Sore loser?" Came Wally's reply.

"Believe whatever you want to, kids, but we thought it would be more logical to get help instead of getting lost in a foreign dimension." Red said, clearly annoyed that they underestimated him like that.

"Ookay..." Dick tried to break the tension. It somewhat worked. "So, you guys were talking about red headed aliens, a tower, a mystery city, someone named Cy and a leader of the Teen... something." It sounded like a statement, but it got the question along anyways. Red chuckled.

"Filing everything away, kid? I want to call my lawyer first." Robin supressed a chuckle. Red continued.

"Well, let's start with the tower... The tower in question is Titans Tower, also called the T Tower which is the base of the Teen Titans, and the leader of said team is a certain traffic light colored hero who kindly hopped dimensions with me."

"Real humorous..." Robin said sarcastically.

"You've been spending too much time with Raven, way too much..." Red said.

"You are leading a team?" Aqualad asked.

"Yes." Robin answered.

"And I'm gonna admit, you're doing a real good job, kid... Seriously, it's like you were born for it." Red sounded sincere.

"Why, thank you, Red. You're such a gentleman today." the Titan replied, unable to supress the smile on his face.

"Anytime." Red smiled, but it was a soft, genuine smile this time.

Dick cleared his throat. "So, if you two are done flirting, can we continue?" he said, smiling with mock innocence. Robin's face turned red as X winked at him.

"The 'mystery city' is Jump City, in California. I guess you could say it's our city. Our base, the T Tower, is located on an island near the coast, which was recently renamed to 'Isla de Titans' by our mayor to celebrate our first anniversary." He pulled out a yellow, circular object from his belt as everyone but Red tensed.

"Relax, it's just my communicator. I'm going to show you a picture of the tower." He flipped the lid of the communicator to show them the background of his communicator, his home. Home is where the heart is, after all, and his heart was still with the Titans, even dimensions away.

"Woah. You live in a giant target! Don't you get attacked all the time?" Wally, the ever so sensical speedster, asked.

"The tower isn't defenseless, you know. It can fight off any intruder along with us! And even if someone attacks our tower, the city will be safe since the island is far off the coast." He said pasionately.

"But, I heard that a secret base is a superhero staple- nevermind..." M'gann said sheepishly.

"Well, we were going to have a secret base at first, but we thought it would be too cliche. We want to show heroes that they don't have to hide, and assure citizens that they are safe."

"But what if someone gets in when no one's around?" Artemis asked.

"We're full time heroes and we live in the tower. When we have off-world missions we just call over our sister team, Titans East, to cover for us." He explained. "Besides, any villain that dares attack our tower is the kind that wouldn't have trouble finding a secret base."

"Their tower is sort of infamous among the villain community." Red said.

"Is this enough info for you?" Robin somehow managed to say without sounding impatient or immature.

"One last thing... Do you..erm.. have any pictures of your teammates?" Dick tried to say without giving away the underlying interrogating nature of the question, but Robin and Red X caught it anyways. Robin sighed as he made some gestures on the communicator before showing it to the team again. It was a picture of Robin's team... The Teen Titans. Dick only recognized Cyborg, the new Justice League member. So he had a lower position in that univer-"Is that Garfield Logan?!?" he hadn't meant for that to slip out... Oh well, he was going to ask it later anyways. The team looked at eachother wide-eyed.

"Beast Boy? You recognize him?" Robin said, sounding interested and subconciously tilted his head to the side, like a real bird.

"We saved him and his mom in Bialya... And then the shed he was in got destroyed, so M'gann gave him a blood transfusion. Will he turn green too? Does this mean M'gann exists in your dimension?" Dick asked eagerly.

"I don't know if she exists in our dimension, but he might be a different Garfield Logan since the stories don't match." Robin said.

"What happened in your dimension?" Wally asked.

"I don't know if I should tell you, it seems like an invasion of privacy..." Robin said.

"Just a small part, like how he got his powers and how you met him?" M'gann asked.

"Fine. His parents were animal biologists. They were in a jungle, and he got bitten by a green monkey. His parents cured him the only way they knew how, by injecting him with animal DNA. That resulted in his powers. Later... things happened, and he got adopted by the Doom Patrol. Two years ago, however, the leader, Mento, kicked him off the team because it was 'too dangerous' and he was 'too careless'. On the night we all met, he happened to be in Jump City." He explained.

"'On the night we all met?'" Dick asked. "So you teamed up with total strangers? And what happened to make you think of fighting crime together?"

"Can we cut storytime short? I can answer more later. Right now, though, I'm on the brink of a migraine and I'm afraid I don't have strong enough painkillers on me right now. Drug resistance is a blessing and a curse..." Robin said, rounding his tone at the end. He seemed to be really good at speaking and controlling his tone, Red was probably right about him being a great leader.

Artie at home

The dimesion travellers are a really good break from reality, but I still can't get Friday out of my mind. Andy has resorted to downright manipulating Dick and I can't do anything about it! If only I had the confidence of the other-Robin...-wait. He might know something about Andy that'll give me the upper hand! I can just ask our-Robin to confirm any info he gives. I smirked as I sat upright.

You haven't won yet, Mallory...

Gah, this is absolutely horrendous, but I had to do a sort of 'answering chapter' to show the team, Robin and Red X bonding. I'll hopefully write a better chapter next chapter. Thank you for sticking with me... And you can expect a few more updates since I'm on term-holiday. See ya!
