Robin, you can tell the Team, now, if you want.

Robin had to bit down on his lips to get himself from smiling. He readjusted his sunglasses, imagining the reactions he was going to get when he finally took them off. Wally loved making jokes at his expense about them, teasing remarks about how Batman didn't trust anyone to even see his own face. Alfred had finally talked Batman into this, convincing him that the Team could be trusted with Robin's secret identity.

He was going to have so much fun screwing around with his friends!

Recognize: Robin. B02.

"Hello Richard, off to see Black Canary today?"

Robin stopped mid-step and looked at Kaldur, sitting at the kitchen counter with a mug in his hands. He frowned.

"Dude, I have no idea what you're talking about.

"Of course," Kaldur smirked, "My apologies…Dick."

Robin shook his head, "Tsk tsk tsk, Kal. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

"I am told that Dick is the abbreviated name for Richard. I am simply using it because that is the name you go by."

"I'm not Dick Grayson, Kal. I think being out of the water too long's messing with your head," Robin smirked.

"I am not an idiot. We all know Robin and Dick Grayson are the same person," Kaldur sighed.

"Alright, well I'm telling you I'm Not Dick Grayson. I'm going to be late for my counseling session, later."

"Whatever you say…Dick Grayson," Kaldur smiled as Robin growled out of the room.


"Wally," Kaldur greeted Wally at the Zeta tube, "How is it possible that you became friends with a billionaire's son so easily?"

"Don't you get hounded by the press a lot?" M'gann added as she flew over to them.

"I bet that makes Batman's secret ID Bruce Wayne, then?" Artemis shouted from the other side of the Cave, "Who knew our hacker by night would be a nerd by day?"

"What?!" Wally's eyes darted nervously between Kaldur and M'gann, chuckling as he dashed over to the TV area and grabbed the remote from the sofa, "No he's not! Have you ever seen Dick Grayson before?"

"Yes," Kaldur nodded, "he was just here three minutes ago and is now holed up in a counseling session with Black Canary wearing sunglasses and saying that he was not Dick Grayson."

Wally blanched. Kaldur was smiling, shaking a little as if he were laughing.

"Kid," he finally said, "you didn't actually believe that we would be that oblivious, did you?"

"Aw man…" Wally sagged his head in defeat, "Bats is gonna flip when he finds out."


"Anyone want to make a guess who I am?" Robin stared at the Team an hour later as they were watching a movie, "I got the Batman's blessing."

He added the last bit in a sweetening and tempting voice. Conner looked at him for a moment before turning his attention back to the screen. He chuckled quietly as he watched a sword fight between a horse and a man holding a frying pan.

"YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS THE STRANGEST THING I'VE EVER DONE!"

"Now I want a frying pan for a weapon…" Wally smiled.

"No one wants to try taking the sunglasses off?" Dick frowned, "Bummer. I was really hoping that someone would –"

"Dick Grayson," Artemis grumbled, her eyes still looking at the television screen.

Dick blinked.

Artemis finally looked at him, "Dick Grayson. Ward of Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises and if the domino effect is correct, that makes him Batman."

"He's not Batman," Dick said on instinct, blushing when he realized his voice went up an octave at the end.

"Okay, so how does your legal guardian let you wander around at night with some guy in a mask all the time?" Artemis smirked, "Batman and Robin are pretty high profile, you know."

"I'm not Dick Grayson!" Dick insisted, his voice bouncing off the walls a little.

"Right," Artemis smirked, "And I'm not the daughter to Sportsmaster and the original Huntress before she was crippled and spent the past four to five years behind bars until she was let out a few months ago."

Her eyes widened while Dick smirked.

"Wait…" M'gann said, looking away from the screen. "You're related to criminals?"

"And Huntress is older than she looks?!" Wally screeched. He blinked, "Ohh…. you're talking about another Huntress…wait, what?"

Artemis got up from the couch and started backing away when Kaldur held a hand up, "Your family does not define you, Artemis. You're one of us and that's all I care about."

She stopped and stared. Artemis bit her lip and covered her mouth, slowly breathing in and out.

"Artemis…" M'gann spoke softly, standing up now, "We're your friends, we aren't going to hate you out of the blue…I'm sorry if I scared you…"

She closed her mouth when Artemis ran into her and held her close. M'gann paused for a moment, before she smiled and wrapped her arms around Artemis, rubbing her back in small circles. A moment later, Kaldur had an arm around Artemis' shoulder with Conner hugging M'gann from behind. Wally and Robin placed a hand on Artemis' back several seconds afterwards.

"Thanks guys…" Artemis whispered.

"Um…" Wally looked down, "We…we like having you around. You're…fun to argue with."

"And tease," Robin added.

"That means a lot, coming from my classmate," Robin groaned and started speaking when Artemis started giggling, "You were right. First day of school, you…"

She sniggered and gently pushed M'gann away.

"You said…" Artemis covered her mouth and shook, snorting loudly, "You took a picture of me from behind and said I'd laugh."

"No, I said and I quote 'we'll laugh about this, someday.' End quote…dammit!"

"Having an off day, Grayson?" Artemis smiled.

"I'm not Dick Grayson, and you're all crazy. Goodbye," Robin walked away until he reached the Zeta tube.

Recognize: Dick Grayson. B02.

"My name's not Dick Grayson!"

"Yes, it is," Conner called out to him.

"This is. Not. Aster!"

"Roy wanted me to tell you that it's payback for messing with his name on the system so much," Wally called out as Robin-Not-Dick-Grayson vanished into the light.


"Bruce?"

"Yes, Dick?"

"Remember when you said I could tell them my secret ID?"

"Yes."

"And that I could have fun with it?"

"Yes."

"And that I would inherit the Batmobile on my 16th birthday?"

"…"

"…okay, that last one was a lie…"

"Your point?"

"My point is that Clark is gonna rib you for saying his glasses don't work and then applying the principle to me."

"…"

"…"

"…we must never speak of this again."

"Agreed."


Author's Note: What's this? An update two days after the last one? A rarity indeed! Just another funny piece with a little bit on Artemis, too. I swear, whenever I think of her, I think Wally and I need to get those two to interact with more characters in this fic.

I heard about fics where Robin trolls everyone with the sunglasses and secret ID, but I would love it if DC were to make fun of the domino mask thing with him and have people putting two and two together with no trouble. Like Superman tweeting about Batman being Bruce Wayne (from the Injustice comics, apparently).

Don't forget to review and be sure to check out the page on TV Tropes. It needs some loving. Also, do you guys know a good day for me to post this fic? I am trying to figure out the system to get the most views.
