A/N: BY THE WAY: This chapter does hold a little more curse words than before. This will become the norm. If you don't like this, don't read it. I don't own Teen Titans or Young Justice. Without further ado, let's get on with the story.

Raven's Justice

Chapter 5: Welcome to Happy Harbor

Raven's P.O.V.

Adjusting to life at Mount Justice was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I imagined it would bring up a lot of hurtful memories of starting out with the Teen Titans, and would fuel a down ward spiral of insanity. But it didn't; it did bring up memories but that didn't affect how I viewed my new living arrangements. There may have been a couple meltdowns here and there but overall it was a good transition. Superboy was good at times but mainly kept to himself. I took it onto myself to be more involved with everything this time around.

At the moment I am attempting to bake some cookies. It did not turn out well; I found out that me and cooking go as well together as oil and water. After the first explosion I decided to get very familiar with the takeout menus.

I then focused on my new room. I needed to keep myself busy, or else I would start to think about… My room is about the size of a small classroom, which is pretty big for room sizes. I started out by painting the walls a dark purple, and then getting some black bookshelves to go along with the black bedframe, night stands, and dressers. I got dark purple and black sheets for my Queen sized bed, it comforting to see these familiar colors.

From time to time I would check in on Superboy to see how he was doing, he kept all the original furniture and room decor. It was as if he didn't know how to choose his own items. I tried to coax him to pick maybe a color for his walls, but he would agree and allow me to help him but after a while he would get frustrated and storm off. In the beginning I thought he just didn't like me, but later I found out that when he gets embarrassed that he lacks the experience to know what to do he becomes angry. I started to read the signs and would stop putting him in such uncomfortable situations.

Even though I gave up on bugging Superboy and cooking most things but I still dabbled here and there.

Today I was making chocolate cookies to go along with a pile of movies I was able to convince Superboy to see. When I think back to the conversation that I did to convince I realize he didn't actually say anything. I asked him "Hey Superboy you doing anything tonight? "even though I knew for a fact he wasn't doing anything I wanted to give him the option of joining me. It was starting to feel lonely in this giant facility and I was kind of desperate for some semi- human contact. His response was a shake of the head which I assumed as being a no. I questioned him further "Can you pick out some movies; I'll start mixing the batter for the cookies. Do you want any?" He nodded yes and then went over to the cabinet next to the TV, and started to pick out movies. I really didn't care about which movie he picked because I'm the one who bought all the movies in there (the league is VERY generous with their monthly allowances). Now I was in the kitchen staring at the chocolate chip bag wondering if I should go along with this recipe or should I give up and just make some popcorn, when I get called into the center room by Red Tornado.

I see that Superboy and Aqualad were already there. "Thanks for letting me know to come out here" I tell Superboy with a hint of sarcasm.

Aqualad then gives him a look, "I didn't know she couldn't here you come in" Superboy told him defensively.

"I am sorry Raven. If I knew that he didn't tell you, I would have happily told you myself." Aqualad apologized.

I smiled at him, he was always so respectful, "Thank you Aqualad." We then hear the computer; more people were coming to join us.

"Recognized: Robin-B-01, Kid Flash-B-03" When they came through, they were in their normal clothes. Just like the rest of us.

I've gotten in a habit of just morphing my costume into different outfits. Today I left my hair in a single braid like I usually did, morphed my leotard into a mid-thigh dress, my boots morphed into more like sneakers (since I was just walking around the house), and my cloak became a sweater of a sort. I was aiming for more comfort than style today.

"Did you ask him?" "What did he say?" KF and Robin asked simultaneously.

"First of all one question at a time, and he's arriving right about now." I tell them as they walked up to the giant screen. It showed mount justice's location, and that Red Tornado was heading toward us. Everyone on the team has been kind of nervous for when our first mission would come, KF and Robin more so than others. I was busy settling in but everyone else was just waiting to prove themselves, and I could understand that.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kid says excitingly. Walking quickly to the land entrance, this looked like part of the ground/mountain from the outside. A rectangular section would lean down until it reached the floor where we stood and then we could walk up the slight incline to the outside surface. Just as the 'door opened' Red Tornado landed outside.

"Red Tornado" Kid said greeting him.

Red replies with "Greetings. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?"

Aqualad responded for the group by saying, "We hoped you had a mission for us." I try to give room for Aqualad to speak, since he was always more cautious about people's feelings and knew how to talk to superiors with grace.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility." He said, basically giving us our answer. No mission.

"It's been over a week and…"Robin says but gets cut off by Red Tornado saying "You will be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company."

This gave me hope that we could finally get some action in, all of Superboy's pent up energy was starting to get to me. I have to meditate for an hour longer just so I don't explode at someone or something. I'm worried that I'm not actually dealing with what happened, and that it might start to show soon. But I have to appear strong now, if the team sees me break down into something else they might send me to an insane asylum or some other facility. But I'm really starting to feel the wall that holds my emotions at bay start to crumble; it's not if any more it's a when.

"This team is not a social club." Aqualad responds. Since they have never been in a team they don't really know that it kind of is. You need to be able to trust one another but that takes time, you need to spend a lot of time together before that can happen. I was forced to do that with the titans, and I will try to push young justice in the right direction with the team bonding and stuff.

Red Tornado continues with "No. But I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave." He then walks into the cave, leaving us to our own devices.

"'Keep busy'' KF says while punching him in the shoulder, they were disappointed and slightly angry.

"Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin adds, he talks as if this is some kind of master plan. They were way too rushed to prove themselves.

"Recognized: Red Tornado-16"

"Guys, we may have done one rescue mission together but we still don't really know one another. I think he's right." I say to the boys, and they just glare at me. They know I'm right they just don't want to do the whole talky thing.

"Whatever, let's just head back inside." Superboy says, getting bored of the entire conversation.

"So, I hear you're a telepath. Can you tell what I'm thinking?" KF says, man he's a flirt.

"That your mom grounded for a month for tracking mud all across your house, that clown's terrify you, and that you've had the same justice league bed spread since you were 10." I say quickly scanning his mind. I smile, because I know I can have a lot of fun embarrassing KF if he keeps going down the route of shameless flirt.

"Burn, Dude. You know that she can also move things with her mind. Therefore you." Robin says with a laugh. KF visibly flinches when I start to narrow my eyes, like I was getting angry. He then bolts into the cave, and Robin and I start laughing.

"Nice one, Rae." He says.

I stop laughing and tell him with an even voice "Never, call me Rae." I then walk back to the cave, feeling anger and roll of body.

"Sorry, won't happen again." Robin replies, sounding kind of hurt.

My Robin would call me that, my old team called me that. I start to feel the world slowly crush me. A wave of sorrow swept over me and I morph my sweater into my cloak so I could hide in it. I feel tears roll down my face, I quickly wipe them up. Crying blood always made my breakdowns a little more grotesque. Superboy even witness one of them, but thankfully he just sat down next to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and waited patiently for me to stop crying. We all had our demons, mine were a little more literal than most but Superboy understood that sometimes you just have to let go. We never talked about it but I did nod at him in thanks and he nodded back. That began our friendship that was mostly silent but was still strong none the less.

[_[-]_]

Aqualad eventually convinced me to give the rest of them a tour. I was still slightly moody since my 'Rae' break down. I showed them where Superboy and my rooms were and once we got to the kitchen I picked up the bowl and started to mix together the cookie dough, ending the tour.

"Since we're off duty. Call me Kaldur' Ahm. Actually, my friends call me Kaldur." Aqualad, well Kaldur, says starting a new conversation. Wally quickly catching on adds.

"I'm Wally. See, I already trust you with my secret ID…unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over here. Batman's forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name." Robin just smiles knowingly; we all know that he won't tell us his name.

"Well, everyone knows my name. It's Raven. I don't have a last name. Since we are sharing I need to get some things off my chest, I should let you guys know that I have serious emotional issues. My boyfriend of a year and a half was murdered. Since my emotions are linked to my power, I try to keep my emotions in check by meditating for hours every day. So if you see me start to cry duck and cover, I tend to blow out light bulbs and warp metal." After I said these things, everyone looked somewhat shocked. I kept my head low focusing back on adding the chocolate chips to my cookie mix.

"My condolences, Raven. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but thank you for telling us." Kaldur says.

"I'm sorry to by the way." Wally adds truthfully.

"Is that why you snapped at me earlier, the whole Rae thing." Robin asked quietly. "Yeah, it's what he would call me. The wound is still too fresh for me. So you guys just call me Raven."

"I don't have a name…"Superboy tells the group.

Robin says "Hey, we'll find you a name. Your one of the lucky ones, you get to choose your own name."

"Yeah, what I wouldn't give to not have the name Wally." We all laughed at that, Superboy unknowingly changed the conversation again for the better.

"I just thought of a great idea; let's go check out our new toys." I say. I knew that the League transferred some machines over here a couple days ago. I was curious what they were.

"Our what? " Wally says.

"Come on, let's go to the garage and check it out." Robin adds walking towards the elevator with Kaldur and Wally behind him. I lagged behind to talk to Superboy for a bit.

"It's alright not to have a name. When the time comes you'll pick one you like. Just give yourself a moment to catch your breath you'll think of something." I set the bowl of cookie dough in the fridge all ready to get cooked, and walk over to where Superboy was standing.

"I don't need your help or your pity." He said, getting angry and storms off.

I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes. I knew something like this would happen; he was never one for talking. So I just watch him storm off, wondering if it was my fault for pushing him.

[_[-]_]

When we get to the garage Robin and Wally were checking out our new jet. It was red and black and they were talking, boarder line yelling at one another trying to figure out how to get aboard. Once I walked into the room I realized that it was a telepathically controlled plane, and I responded perfectly to me. I walked up to the jet, once I got to touching distance a note appeared on it. It was taped on and looked hand written. It was from my Martian Manhunter, my S.O. it was a Martian bio-ship that belonged to his family. Since it was telepathically controlled he called it my next step in training.

As soon as I finished reading it I was asked by Robin "Hey, what's that? I didn't that there before."

"The plane is a Martian Bio-ship given to the team by Manhunter. It is controlled telepathically, so I will be piloting it. He calls it my next phase in my training."

"I believe we should take it for a spin." Wally supplies.

I stretch out my hand in front of me. I close my eyes and concentrate on opening the plane. Below the plane a door opened by melting from top to bottom, a seamless opening. I boarded first and controlled each step. All of us squeezed onto the elevator up to the deck and brought the chairs up from the floor. During this whole process I've been hearing 'ooh's and ah's' through the tour. Once I got everyone situated in their seats, I asked "Red Tornado, can you open the bay doors."

Two blue orbs like spheres came up from the floor as I raised both hands. Once I made contact I thought of the plane flying slowly out the doors, and the plane followed. All I had to do was think and it would happen.

While Robin and Kid were battling it out with if you call a ship a she or not. I learned to tune out most of their conversations, they mainly included girls or other heroes, and after a while it gets rather boring. I heard from the front of the room that Kaldur was taking a stab at trying to talk to Superboy. "I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you're thinking. You overreacted and you don't know how to apologize. Just say sorry."

I cringe at the thought of Kaldur overhearing our conversation earlier. But then again Superboy has the tendency to not be quiet, especially during arguments.

"He'll come around." I hear whispered from my right. Robin has taken the younger brother role of the group. He always tries to get me into conversations and keeps me involved; which is nice for a change.

"I know he will, but I just don't know if I should keep this up. I don't think he wants help, let alone mine."

"You guys remember he has super-hearing, right?" Wally reminds us a little too late. I glance over to the Superboy in question, he looks a little confused and slightly angry, which is what I'm going to call his normal look.

"So what has Manhunter been teaching you?" Robin asks, trying to change the subject.

"Well he taught me how to keep my uniform on at all times. He taught me how to transfigure my clothes and cloak into my everyday clothes so that I'm always ready." I demonstrate by shifting into my usual uniform of leotard and cloak and back.

Kaldur asks. "How do you do that? If you don't mind me asking."

"They're organic, which I guess is what the ship is. They respond to my mental commands."

"Can you do that ghosting-through-walls that Manhunter does?" Wally so gracefully asks.

"Yep. I could actually do that before I joined the team. I basically become like a shadow a phase through basically anything. Were you not there when I did it earlier?" Just after the team was formed kid asked for a demonstration of some of my powers, but of course did so in a way that lowered his IQ. So to shut him up I picked him up with my shadow hand fazed him through a wall and brought back to the floor. Now when I say it like that it sounds fine, but at the time I was kind of annoyed by him. Which in my defense is easily done; the whole experience lasted 2 or 3 seconds tops. When I set him on the floor, he sat down and stared and the floor for a good 5 minutes before quietly leaving Mount Justice. It wasn't one of my proudest moments, but I got him to stop hitting on me as much which is a win over all in my book.

"Oh yeah, I remember now. That was not a fun experience." He then shivers dramatically.

"Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall. Ha-ha-ha. When he tries it, bloody nose." Robin adds.

"DUDE."

I chuckle. "Okay guys I want to try something. But just to let you know I'm still new at this." I focus on making the ship invisible. During my training sessions with Manhunter, he has told about the capabilities of a Martian Bio-ship, one of them is invisibility. So I thought why not give it a go.

It worked. I smile at this, at first I was worried that I wouldn't be able to because of the cross species controller; but it did. My happy thoughts were then interrupted by a incoming transmission.

"Red Tornado to Raven. An emergency alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor Power Plant. I suggest you investigate, covertly. I'm sending coordinates."

" Received. Adjusting course."

Robin is the first to comment, "Tornado's keeping us busy again."

"I wonder what triggered the alert." Kid asks out loud. I would have answered but I was focusing on landing.

Superboy supplied the obvious answer of "I think I know what caused the trigger." He is glancing at a tornado going through the Power Plant's parking lot. And then of course it was heading right towards the Bio-ship right as I was trying to land it. This is definitely not what I had in mind when I took out the Bio-ship for the first time. We get caught inside the tornado, I struggle for a bit. The amount of effort it takes me is literally causing me pain. I wince and finally get the plane onto the ground. We all drop out of the plane and look at the Tornado.

"Robin, are tornadoes common to New England? Robin?" Kaldur asked, but before we could get an answer he was gone. All we heard was Robin's signature laugh, which is something I really have to get used too. My Robin rarely laughed, and when he did it was nothing like this.

The plant windows were starting to blow out. So Superboy, Kaldur and I head toward the opened doors. I hear Robin grunt and hit the floor, and that was all the incentive I needed to start fighting. I looked at the thing that was causing all this chaos. It was a red and black metal suit; it had a sort of back-pack that seemed to control the wind. He was making the Tornadoes.

"Who's your new friend?" Superboy asked Robin. "Didn't catch his name, but he plays kind of rough."

The man in question finally speaks, "My apologies. You may address me as ."

He then made a Tornado with each arm, through Superboy off. Making him hit a wall, literally. I glanced back over at the group; Wally put on his goggles, Robin stood up but he was holding his side, and Kaldur was giving me the go ahead to get in the action. We all charged at and we all failed. It was like trying to run a marathon with no training; we all just crashed and burned. KF was thrown way off into the parking lot. Kaldur hit a cement post and I hit a wall.

"I was prepared to be challenged by a superhero. I was not, however, expecting children."

"We're not children." Robin retorted while throwing one of his many devices from his tool belt. They looked like red and silver discs.

just flicked off the discs. "Objectively, you are. Have you no adult supervision? I find your presence here quite disturbing."

Robin was taking this personally because the next thing I knew he was answering him again saying "Well, we hate to see you disturbed. Let's see if you're more turbed once we kick your can."

We then tried a slightly better planned attack. We were met with the same conclusion. We were literally thrown off, though this time I was thrown at Superboy and we hit the floor, hard.

Once the dust settled we heard "Indeed, that was quite turbing. Thank you."

I then saw him fly out the doorway. Ugh, we failed. This was bad, I mean come on I was supposed to be experienced. This is not how this was supposed to happen. Dammit we really needed to get out shit together, or one day we might not come home.

I get up as quickly as possible, and I limped out the door. I notice that Wally was trying to go after and he was met with the same response as the rest of us. He was being flung at the building, so before he hit the ground I grabbed him with my shadow hand.

"You got to be more careful Wally. Gravity is not a forgiving mistress." I told him, trying to lighten the mood.

"Dually noted, thanks Raven."

"Anytime."

then asked "I would have thought you had all learned your limitations by now."

"What do you want?" Kaldur demanded, losing his patience.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting for a real hero."

"Is there anything we can do?" Kaldur asked trying to take control of the team.

"I may be able to read his mind. But this may cause damage to his mind; this is not something I have done a lot." I answered. I was a strong telepath, I could do this.

"Tread carefully, but try to find a weakness." Kaldur said but more softly than the last.

I begin searching for his mind, but I found nothing. This must be a machine. That's the only reasonable explanation for my results. "You guys, I'm finding nothing. He must be some kind of machine. I can't explain it, but I just have a feeling."

"Wait, doesn't he look like Red Tornado?" Wally commented.

"Yeah, he does. He can also make Tornadoes. You guys, he told us we would be tested soon enough. That's now. Ugh, it was all a set-up. Something to keep us busy." Robin said bitterly.

"Let's end this, now." Kaldur said in a darker voice.

agreed "Consider it ended."

The feeling I got from earlier jut grew, I wasn't full-heartedly going along with them. Superboy was off Azerath knows where, and I was hanging back. Robin, Kaldur, and Wally were approaching who they believed to be Red Tornado. While his inorganic mind was familiar it wasn't Red Tornado, but who would believe that I could tell one robot from the other. Our villain in question was now making 2 very large Tornadoes that were darkening the skies.

The boys weren't taking any of it, "An impressive show. But we will not indulge you. We will not engage." Kaldur was taking point at talking to him.

Then thunder and lightning began to erupt out of the combining Tornadoes. Wally then pointed out "Uh, can Red Tornado do that?" he was realizing that they jumped the gun on identifying him.

"You think I'm Tornado? Ironic." Mr. Twister said in a sarcastic robotic voice, he then through lightning at all of us, ramming the entire team into the ground. Superboy got up almost immediately ripped off his ruined jacket, and pounced at . But he was then shot directly with a bolt of lightning knocking him out.

While the boys were out cold, I got up. began to fly over to us, so before he got too close I covered the team with an invisibility shield. It was extremely exhausting; I wouldn't be able to hold it up for long. My knees began to buckle; I feel onto the floor my arms began to shake.

"Fine, then. I won't deny you children have power. Playing hide-and-seek with you will not help me achieve my objectives. So stay concealed. If you confront me again I will show no mercy." And then he was gone.

Robin woke up first, "What happened? Wait, Raven are you okay?"

"Yeah this shield won't hold up much longer. Tell me when he's gone." I vision began to blur, I really hope I don't pass out.

Wally was now awake; he rested a hand on my shoulder "He's gone Raven. It's okay, we're safe."

"Are you sure? Because once I put it down I won't be able to bring it up for a while." I responded, I hoped to Azerath that he was gone. I feel as though the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

"He's gone." Wally confirmed again.

I set down the shield, and I fell back onto my back. My breathing was heavy, my vision was returning, and I was beginning to feel better.

"What happened?" Kaldur asked the last one of us to regain consciousness.

"I covered us with an invisibility shield."

I started to hear Superboy punch the crater he made when he hit the floor. Of course he was angry; he didn't get a shot on him.

"That supposed to make it right? This was our first mission, and we failed miserably. And now your hurt."

"You know what Raven. Hit the showers we got it from hear." Wally said with authority I knew he didn't have.

"Excuse me. Did you just try to bench me? Come on, guys seriously. I'm fine. You guys are just being insecure about this whole failure thing. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. It's the way life goes, deal with it."

"Wally is standing there opened mouthed, his cheeks red with embarrassment. Robin was laughing at him, I think I hear something like 'Dude, you really shouldn't have done that.' And a 'Damn she's scary when she's mad.'

I stormed off, and I heard the distinctive stomps of Superboy. He was angry and now that he was going to release that on me, "Did you know that he wasn't Red Tornado?"

"Yes, well sort of. He felt similar but didn't exactly feel like Red Tornado."

"So you could stopped at least part of what happened?" He asked accusingly.

"Would you guys seriously believe me if I told you that I could tell one Robots mind from another. So I thought I should keep it to myself. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Yes, you could have warned us."

"Would you have believed me?"

"Well I guess we wouldn't know now would we." He had blind hatred in his eyes, and right now it was focused on me. I was just his emotional punching bag.

"You know what Superboy, its fine to be angry. I'm angry, but don't take it out on me." I said while pocking his chest. This wasn't my finest moment, but I stand by it. I won't stand by and take it anymore. I then start walking toward the Bio-ship to cool off.

I then notice them charging toward the tornadoes down at the town. My anger was now fueling me now, and I teleported tight in front of them while what I assume is them trying to think of a plan.

"You sons of bitches left me. Not only is that rude, it shows how little you guys trust me. I thought we were a team."

"Sorry Raven." I heard chorused to me.

"Okay. So what's the plan?" I was finally cooling down; it doesn't do anyone any good. I'll have to find some way of getting back at them; maybe a prank. Beast Boy indirectly taught me a lot of ways to prank someone.

"Well he's asking for a hero. What do you say about giving him one? Raven you said you could shape shift, right?" Robin said with a smirk. The confidence flowing off of him was bumping up the morale of the group for one more attack.

"Yeah, but not for a long period of time. So we got to do it quickly."

"Raven's going to appear as Red Tornado, and the rest of us will distract and fabricate Tornado's powers. Then once he's completely distracted him we'll take apart his suit. Then take whoever's inside to justice." Robin tells us.

"That's perfect." Wally says in agreement, he knows Robins plans almost always work.

"There's one thing I want to add, he's not human. I think he's a Robot, like Red Tornado." I was looking at Superboy, to let him know I took what he said to heart and was learning. He gave me a slight smile, and then his face changed into confusion.

"Wait, Red Tornado's a robot." Wally stated, saying the one thing I assume is on everyone's mind.

"You guys didn't know, oh no that's not good." I say this while I feel my face heat up. I really didn't mean to reveal a secret.

"You can't tell him that we know. He was fine before, we have to respect him for whom he is." I add quickly.

"Okay, one thing at a time. We'll talk about Red Tornado later." Kaldur said trying to bring us back to point.

"Let's go." Superboy said quickly.

[_[-]_]

With a plan ready we approach the town. Twisters were dropping boats on buildings, twisters were going through buildings, and they were all being directed by on being.

"Certainly, this will get the required attention."

Wally comes in saying "You got ours, full and undivided."

He lands a good kick onto 's chest pushing him back and distracting him. "Immaterial and insufficient. You are a distraction I can no longer tolerate." Even through the voice change you could tell that he was getting angry.

Superboy then comes in from what looks like out of nowhere. He almost was landing on him, simultaneously angering and distracting him. Kaldur and Robin went at him next; Kaldur was sent crashing into a building, while Robin and Wally tried to keep the constant distractions up. By doing this Superboy was able to get a nice solid hit on his chest, pushing him. Superboy was picked up by a twister and thrown at the building Kaldur just walked away from, a boat quickly followed by a boat. Kaldur then tried throwing the boats motor at , which kept up the distraction while Robin and Wally regroup. It turns out that Robin always had his tool belt.

"You brought your utility belt?" Wally commented.

Robin retorted with "'Never leave home without it.' First thing Batman taught me." I had to agree, when we exited the Bio-ship the first time I quickly transitioned my normal clothes into my uniform.

"Yeah, right after, 'Never go to the bathroom without it.'" KF always had to make it funny, our little comic relief.

This is where I come in. I'm flying quickly; the form of Red Tornado is identical because of my personal experience with him.

I start our banter with, "Hit the showers, boys. I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly you cannot."

The boys had to play along. Robin goes first "But we've got a plan now."

I talk again "The subject is not up for debate." The boy's then walk away looking defeated, they doing a good acting job.

finally losing his patience says "I was beginning to believe you'd never show up."

"I'm here now." KF makes a tornado and Robin planted an explosion where it started up, imitating Red Tornado's Tornadoes. He sends one at me, I meld through it.

"We are evenly matched, Twister."

"No, Tornado, we are not." He's obviously getting tired of talking. He sent a blue bolt of electricity; I dodged it a little but faked it hitting me. I added some fake electricity shortages to give the allusion that 'my suit' was shorting out.

"Remain still, android." said this while starting to lean over my body. Cords shoot out of his right finger-tips; they connected to the back of 'my' head. "The reprogramming won't take long."

I reverted back to my original form and say "Longer than you might think." Playful banter always reminded me of my Robin. Now I'm going to go kick some ass in his honor.

began to freak out, "No". He tried pulling away but by now I had a hold of the cords, keeping him tethered. He broke away and was thrown by KF's tornado into Superboy's sucker-punch. He was then catapulted into the water where Aqualad was laying there in wait. In his home court there was nothing Kaldur couldn't do. was then electrocuted and having one arm missing and was thrown out of the water where I then took over. I picked him up with a shadow hand, ripping his other arm off. I keep him afloat and still while Robin throws 2 of his explosives into his back and I let the explosion push him to the ground. He lands face first, he sits up and his chest cavity opens and a man falls out. He looked to be in his mid-40s to 50s, with blue eyes and dark brown- graying hair.

He then says "Foul. I call foul."

"Raven he looks human." Robin said with a confused hint to his usually arrogant voice.

"I'll show you. I'm going to administer a low voltage shock that would short anything mechanical but wouldn't harm a human." I touch him on the forehead and he falls down.

"Raven, NO" Kaldur says not trusting what I did.

"Don't know how things are done wherever you're from, but we don't execute our captives." Robin says.

I shake it off, "I'm hurt. Just wait a moment." Just as I say this; his boy opens and you see all the parts, it became a macabre set of puzzle pieces.

"You're welcome, by the way." I add. I hope they learn to trust me, because if they don't soon this team will never work.

Wally walks up to the body, and he picks up an eyeball. "Cool. Souvenir." I sense a trend coming.

Kaldur puts a hand on my shoulder, "We should have had more faith in you."

"Well, yeah. I even told you that he was a robot, and that a voltage as low as I gave wouldn't harm an human. Man this team has trust issues." We all kind of chuckle, we have so many issues it would be a miracle if we would work amazingly off the bat.

"It was kind of shocking wasn't it?" Wally says trying not to laugh.

"Just ignore him. We're just all turbed you're on the team." Robin said, silently apologizing for his rushed judgement earlier. I smile trying to give a nonverbal 'you're welcome'.

"Well, thanks. Me too."

Kaldur was relaying what had happened today to Red Tornado, and by now it was towards the end of the story. "It was clearly created to sabotage or destroy you. "

Red Tornado responded with "Agreed", like most of his responses it was short and to the point.

As if reading my mind he then added "And no. This was you battle. I do not believe it is my role to solve your problems for you. Nor should you solve mine for me."

We were all looking at the body; right now we should have little issue with finding out who made the bot. I couldn't imagine if it was crushed by a rock or something that would be a nightmare.

"Consider this matter closed." Red Tornado said, ending the conversation.

"Batman, Aquaman and Flash, they'd have jumped right in to fix things." Wally tells Robin.

"Guess if we're gonna have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need." He responds with in is usually snarky attitude.

"Dude, harsh."

"…And inaccurate" Oh, snap. Red Tornado was still in the room. He continues with "I have a heart. Carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."

Robin cheeks blush a little, he then adds trying to redeem himself by saying "Ha, right. Sorry. I'll strive to be more accurate."

Kaldur then adds "And more respectful." Robin may seem older than most but he is still a boy. Kaldur is turning into that older brother figure for Robin, it seems fitting.

"Speedy was so wrong." Wally says.

"This team thing?" Robin asks, trying to specify which moment. Speedy, Robin, and KF were always shoved together when the 'parents' got together. They probably knew each other for many many years.

Kaldur then added "Might just work out." Ending the conversation with a positive note.

This leaves Superboy and I together. He started to look flustered but he finally spitted out "Sorry."

"It's ok. But for future notice, I won't take any more of you shit. If your angry don't take it out on me, we are on the same side. I'm also your friend, even if you don't think so about me." I say, I can't keep things in anymore. Something might explode, and I rather it not be me.

I start to walk away but I am then grabbed by the arm. He turns me around and says "I do consider you my friend, and I am sorry I blew up at you earlier. This is still all new to me, but I am trying." Damn his blue eyes, they're like daggers.

"Okay then, let's go watch some movies." I say with a smile. I grab his hand and we walk back to the kitchen. This team is finally becoming a team.
