A/N: HAPPY EARLY NEW YEAR! The story shall continue every week or so from here on out so expect regular updates for a while. At any rate, ON WITH THE SHOW!

"Heheh… wait until they wake up and come in here!" Ian was giddy with excitement, the four alternate dimension Titan's kids and himself just sitting around the Ops room, with the exception of Kate(Beast Girl) and Malgand'r(whom had not told Ian if he had a non-Tamaranian name). The changeling's daughter was busy looking for tofu, and the Tamaranian male was cooking something he had explained was a dish Starfire had taught him to make when he was younger.

Yawning as the Ops room elevator doors opened, Starfire sniffed the air sleepily, "Is that… a Throknar? Who told you how to... make… it." her jaw dropped as she registered Malgand'r at the stove, and saw Kate and the boy called Dubs. "Why has the Tower not alerted us to trespassers?" She asked, her fists lighting up. Raven appeared from a portal and grabbed a cup of tea that Ian had prepared. "They aren't trespassers Star. Ian put them in the system last night."

Ian frowned, thinking that she would have been astonished or at the very least slightly miffed.

Raven continued. "So you brought everybody's alternate reality kids here because Catherine was feeling lonely?"

Ian gulped as her four red eyes appeared. "Not exactly." Scott supplied to Ian's vocal chords as his own eyes lit up red as if to assert that he wasn't going to be intimidated, "We can explain, but everyone needs to be here first."

Cyborg walked into the room after this was said, and blinked. "So… who are these... um… guests?" he asked before Dubs ran over and fizzled a bit into the matrix like code state. "Hey dad!" he said hugging him. Cyborg's jaw almost unhinged before he found words. "Say WHAT?" he asked, shock written on his features.

Ian was on the floor laughing. "Oh… ha ha… my god… priceless! Does anyone have a camera?"

Dubs smirked as he printed something out of his… was that his mouth? "Here! My eyes are able to replicate the photographic process." he said handing Ian a photo of Cyborg's shock. Cyborg frowned and said, "Great… you better not use that for blackmail!"

When Terra and Beast boy came into the room, Kate had a freaky idea and turned into a kitten again, scampering over to them and meowing. BB blinked, and Terra said, "Did you clone yourself again like those cells when you entered Cyborg's circuits?"

Ian couldn't help but laugh again, close to tears at this point. BB shook his head. Terra crossed her arms and asked, "Then who. Is. Tha-"

"HI MOM!" Kate shifted forms to her human one.

Beast Boy fainted. Terra's rock arm fell to the floor from her losing control. Kate giggled. "What the hell?" Terra looked at Ian. "You brought ALL our kids here?" then she broke out in a fit of laughter.

Everyone else was a bit puzzled, until she wiped a tear from her face and said, "I was thinking about asking BB if he wanted kids too… guess that's a yes."

As she got some water to wake BB, Robin walked in. Seeing the team's leader, Malgand'r walked over, "So do I call you Robin, Nightwing, or father at this point?" he asked. Then he added, "Throknar?" and handed him a piece of the crown of meat. Robin's masked eyes widened. "So this is what Ian felt like..." he shook his head as Starfire floated over to him for support. Raven looked over at Ian, "This explanation better be good or I am sending you to hell for a week." she deadpanned. Ian blanched.

"Hey! it's not his fault! We wanted to come here!" Kate said defensively holding her arms up in front of herself. BB, who had just woken up from unconsciousness, said, "I have a daughter?" as though the realization was freaking him out. Terra sighed, "I was gonna ask you if we could try for one later when we were old enough! why are you freaking out? This is a good thing! With all of us there's no way we can lose a fight! Plus… she's adorable! How can you say no to that face?"

Kate morphed into a kitten again and jumped into BB's arms, licking his cheek. "Meow!" she started purring. BB laughed. "Awww! it's like having a pet AND a kid!" he said, cuddling her close. "Rae, I don't see why you want to send Ian to hell if this was their idea anyway!"

Raven's four eyes reverted and she sighed. "Don't screw this up. The fact that they are all our kids, even if it's from another universe, means at some point we do have relationships, so if somebody fades from existence you only have yourselves to blame."

Malgand'r smiled, "Now that that's settled I believe we should patrol the city a bit. Can't really expect crime to sleep..."

"No. You can't, can you." a chilling voice sounded out through the Ops room monitor. Robin and Malgand'r immediately tensed and turned to the screen saying "Slade!" venomously.

BB frowned. "Definitely Robin's kid." he whispered to Terra.

"What do you want now Slade?" Ian yawned like he was bored. Slade's eye widened, "Are you mocking me? Because that is a mistake." he said coldly.

Ian stretched, "Me? Mock the Titan's most recurring villain in history? Oh perish the thought!" he stressed the last bit cockily.

Slade's eye narrowed as he asked, "And what exactly do you do? I don't recall us ever seeing each other. Not that it matters."

Ian stood up, "Anyone for pizza? I think I could go for some pepperoni right now."

Dead silence from everyone.

Slade looked confused. Wait… what?

Ian walked over to the door, but before leaving said, "Robin, take care of the negotiations, I'll order for us."

As soon as he left Robin realized what Ian had done. He had done the one thing Robin was unable to do for years.

He got under Slade's skin.

Smirking to himself Robin quickly frowned to keep up appearances, "What do you want Slade?"

"I could tell you, but where's the fun in that? Come see for yourself, Robin." Slade was back to being cryptic and manipulative. Dubs suddenly vanished, his code-like body zipping into the Ops room monitor and reappearing in the room a few seconds later, saying "I have his coordinates."

Slade's eye widened, "An A.I.?"

Dubs adjusted his glasses, "Not quite. I'm a B.M.W. V.I.R.U.S. mod."

As the screen switched to black, Robin asked "A what?"

"A Bio-mechanical Motherbox Wielding Virtually Integrated Rudimentary Universal System Modification." Dubs said as if that explained everything.

Ian walked back into the room laughing his head off. "Did you see Slade's face? Did you see that?" he asked Robin, who sighed, "So apparently telepathy travels so far that you knew him better than I do?" he asked. Ian sighed, "Yeah, about that… I'm not really a telepath. I'm from another universe where your lives are a TV series, so I know everything up to a certain point. I know exactly how to get under ALL your skin because I know everything about you… except the kids. That was new. Also, before you get mad, Batman approves."

Robin stood very still. "That means you..."

"Know Batman, Superman, and all the Justice League's secret identities as well as yours Robin. And I know that might piss you off, but I swear it will only make this team stronger to keep that information the way it is. Hidden from people. Except maybe Starfire. You should tell her. Right now we need to go. Dubs, where were the coordinates?"

Dubs made a fax machine noise and said, "Warehouse district near the docks!"

Cyborg nodded, "Let's go then. we'll discuss the kids later, right now we need to find Slade!"

Robin nodded, but turned to Ian. "We're not done with this conversation." he said before running to the elevator.

A/N: So Slade finally made a move… not that you all weren't expecting that at some point, but it finally happened.

Read and Review if you can, as that makes it more worth the effort to continue in the end, valued readers! Feel free to give me your opinions through PMs as well, as I am constantly looking for inspiration and value the opinions of others!
