Wayne Manor, Sunday September 15th, 6:30pm

As the team arrived at the manor, they were greeted by an aging British gentleman, who introduced himself as Alfred. "Master Bruce and Miss Rachel should be down in a moment." he offered them as they sat down in a well decorated sitting room.

True to his prediction Bruce Wayne came down the stairs less than a minute after the teens had sat down. "Rachel's not here?" he asked the butler, who shook his head. "Sorry," he apologized to the teens, "I didn't think she'd be this rude about it."

To their surprise he pulled out a cell phone, dialing and calling someone. He chuckled at their clearly shocked looks. "The house is so big and old that there is no good way to reach other than calling."

"What?" a voice snapped on the other end.

"Rixie, you're supposed to come down here and meet your protection." Bruce said, sounding compassionate- slightly- and commanding.

"Maybe you didn't get the memo the last time, but GO TO HELL!" she shouted angrily. "You can't make me come to this stupid… THING!" she clearly forgot what she was meant to be attending in a few short hours.

"It's just a dinner Rachel." Bruce tried, glancing at the other teens nervously.

"Yes, with all of your stupid associates who sneeze into their hundred dollar bills." the girl stated, it wasn't so much of a shout or a snap as the last one, but her annoyance stood out like a sore thumb.

"Rachel." Bruce tried.

"The Joker wants me, let him come, if it means I never have to see you again, I might make a billboard and write assassinate me in neon." with that the line cut, clearly by the teenaged girl who refused to leave her room.

"The Joker is after your daughter?" Artemis asked shocked. Bruce nodded sadly.

"We'll protect her." M'gann offered to Bruce with a smile.

"Alfred can show you to the dressing rooms, I think at one point I was all of your sizes." he offered to the boys, which wasn't too surprising, Wally and Kaldur were close to the same size, and Conner had similar build to what Bruce had now. They nodded gratefully. "As for you two, you're pretty close to Rixie's size, plus she has a few dresses that she's meant to grow into." the two girls followed the boy's lead and nodded.

"Follow me." Alfred offered the teens, they followed instantly, as he lead them upstairs. Until he stopped in one of the many hallways, at a door that looked the same as the last half dozen they had passed. "Master Bruce's collection is in here, I trust you know how to put on a suit." all three nodded and everyone- but Alfred- knew that Kaldur and Wally could help Conner when he needed it. With the two girls he took them into another hall and knocked on the door.

"Yes?" a voice questioned, the two recognized it as Rixie's.

"It's Alfred." the butler offered.

There was silence until the door opened and a ravenette with pure blue eyes standing in the gap. She saw the two girls and tensed, but sighed after a moment. "Thank you Alfred."

"You do know at some point you will have to talk to Master Bruce." Alfred told the teenaged girl as the other two walked into the room.

"Yes, and when that day comes I'll shoot myself." the teen deadpanned, then shut the door as the butler turned to leave. Presumably to help the boys.

"Hi, I'm Rixie." she offered her hand to the two teens.

"I'm Artemis, we go to school together." the blonde offered. The raven smiled, clearly remembering that particular fact.

"I'm Megan." the auburn haired girl said excitedly.

"Pleasure, so dresses." she grimaced, but hid it within the moment. She turned her back to the two girls as she open the doors to her large closet, which was filled with very fancy dresses.

Both girls couldn't stop their jaws from dropping. The girl chuckled at their faces. "This isn't my actual closet, if it was I think I'd stab someone…" she grumbled that last part. "Anyway, all the ones on the right are ones that Bruce order for when he thought I'd hit my growth spurt."

That caught the girls' attentions. "How old are you? I thought you were a freshman."

"I am." Rixie affirmed, grabbing a long royal blue dress, that was sleeveless and looked like it was made of satin. A slit running up the left side of the full length skirt. "But I just turned thirteen, like back in June."

"I thought freshman were fourteen when they started?" M'gann asked, confusion clear in her voice.

Rixie sighed, turning back and dropping to her knees near where she pulled out the dress. "Technically yes, but Bruce was worried I would get bored with how smart I am that he pushed me ahead. Sometimes it's nice, other times…" she knew she didn't need to finish so she didn't. Reaching forward and grabbing a black box with gold lettering. She took the lid off, revealing a pair of three inch silver heels, but then her eyes caught something right in front of her. Another floor length dress, this one with an almost mermaid tail style, and it didn't have the slit running up it because it was satin underneath and covered in lace. "Which one?" she asked.

"Do you think I could wear the blue one?" Artemis asked, the ravenette nodded.

"It's a bit big on me, so it should fit you." normally that would be taken badly, but the girl clearly hadn't hit any form of puberty, so a lot dresses probably didn't fit her right. "What's your shoe size?" she asked.

"Eight." Artemis said, honestly doubting the girl would have shoes in her size.

The ravenette laughed, like actually laughed, it reached her blue eyes, brightening them shockingly. "Well, then maybe there is hope." then handed the box in her hand to the archer. Incredulous she checked the box, sure enough it was a size eight.

Artemis laughed as well. "What about you M'gann?" she asked the Martian. Not realizing her slip up until too late.

Rixie, however just smiled. "Deemphasizing your name, that's clever, especially with such a common name."

The martian offered a shy smile, and light blush, and her clothes changed on their own, morphing into a floor length dress like the two the girls had picked out, laced on top, with a black belt, then satin on the bottom, and slit that went up to her knee. Her boots morphed into a pair of inch high black heels.

"Okay, that's a time saver." Rixie muttered, sounding both impressed and slightly jealous.

"It's not too similar is it?" M'gann asked worriedly. Her dress was a deep scarlet in comparison to Artemis' royal and Rixie's pure red.

"Not at all." Rixie told her instantly. Then turned to Artemis. "You can use the bathroom, it's plenty big enough." The blonde smile gratefully.

"What about you?" M'gann questioned.

"I have six rooms to choose from, and the shoes I want aren't in this room, and with dress I have to wear them or I'll trip on the hem." Rixie explained, folding the dress over her arm and heading out the door without another word.

1) okay, so I know that in the TV show Robin's birthday is never specified, but in the comics that went along with it they did. I said screw it, because Wally's birthday in the show is actually Dick Grayson's in the original comics, so I made Rixie's on Wally's original birthday

2) I'm so sorry that this took me so long, I wanted to update yesterday, but I had zero time. I should be able to do a double update today, though. It will probably be in about 6ish hours.

3) thank you to both of my reviewers, and to everyone who's read this. Please leave a review!

See you soon!
