Chapter 8, coming up!

And once again, I don't think I really have anything to say, which is kind of nice. I hate long ANs. But if there is anything you want to ask me, feel free to shoot me a PM or leave a review.

Yeah, don't want to do a decent disclaimer today. Sorry!

Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire were starting to get a little concerned. Raven and Nightwing had disappeared a while ago to bring the mysterious heroes some food and to tend to any wounds. There had been some sort of combotion and they had heard raised voices- well, voice. Now, it had gone eerily quiet. They were starting to think that something had gone wrong.

"Do you… do you think we should go check on them?" Beast Boy asked uncertainly.

Cyborg glanced over towards the door and opened his mouth to respond. Before he could, however, the door opened and Nightwing, Raven, and the other heroes came in. Raven quickly crossed the room to stand with the Titans, while the unfamiliar heroes hovered by the door. Nightwing moved forward until he was in between the groups. He had a small flashback of a similar arrangement on the rooftops before clearing his throat.

"To start, introductions. Young Justice, Meet the Teen Titans. Titans, this is Aqualad, or Kaldur, the leader of Young Justice; Kid Flash, or Wally; Superboy, or Conner; Artemis, who's name really is Artemis, but don't call her Artie unless you're me or Wally, and possibly not even then; Miss Martian, or M'gann, or Megan, or Miss M, or whatever; and Zatanna." He turned towards the Titans. "Young Justice, this is Cyborg, my second in command; Beast Boy; Starfire; and you already know Raven. Which reminds me. Go hug your 'sister', BB, before she attacks you herself."

Beast Boy grinned widely, showing off even more canine than usual, and bounded forward to hug her. "Hey sis? What's up?"

Cyborg leaned over slightly to whisper to Nightwing. "Since when does he have a sister?" Nightwing shook his head. "They're not really related. She saved his life through a blood transfusion, so they think of each other as 'blood sibling.' It's kind of complicated, and what led to his powers." They turned back to the brother-sister reunion.

"Gar!" M'gann exclaimed, hugging him back. "I was so worried! After I heard about you mother, and then how you left the Doom Patrol…"

"Don't worry." He reassured her. "Nightwing found me and took me in and we made the Titans. It's awesome!" Megan's eyes filled with tears and she flew forward to hug him. "Thank you." She whispered. "I did promise to try to look after him, didn't I?" Nightwing said gently.

Beast Boy looked back and forth between the two and a startled look of recognition grew on his face. "Dude, Nightwing are you… were you…" Nightwing rolled his eyes. "Spit it out BB." "Rob?" Beast Boy blurted out. Nightwing smiled. "I knew you'd figure it out. You're the only one who had actually met me before, after all."

Cyborg was confused. "What are you talking about?"

Nightwing closed his eyes and exhaled. "You never asked who I was before Nightwing. I think you assumed that I was just an ordinary civilian, that Nightwing is my first hero persona. It isn't. It's my second. I was outgrowing my old one and then had to leave it behind when I moved here.

"So who were you before?"

"Robin."

Cyborg almost fainted.

"Like, the Boy Wonder Robin?"

"Do you know any other superheroes named Robin? I was the first one, by the way, not the second."

This time, Cyborg actually did faint.

Once he woke up he said, "Let me get this straight. You, Nightwing, used to be the Boy Wonder, half of the Dynamic Duo, protégée to the goddamn Batman, master hacker, one of the youngest heroes ever, if not the youngest-" "Can we not do all the titles? It gets boring." "-Fine. Anyway, you and Bats get into a huge fight, you move out here, give a special communicator to your apparent girlfriend so you could keep up with everything, and formed the Titans."

"Way over simplified, but pretty much."

Cyborg shook his head. "Unreal."

Nightwing suddenly looked serious. "But this doesn't leave the Tower guys. Heck, you shouldn't really discuss it within the tower. I've had a program running since we brought YJ here that disrupts any spyware, but it doesn't last forever and the more I have it going the more likely someone will figure out a way around it. You know that a certain one-eyed psycho likes spying on us through the cameras."

Cyborg's eyes widened. "Slade. Oh man, if he knew…" "It would be bad." Nightwing finished. "Very bad." Young Justice looked like they were about to ask, but Nightwing shot them a look and they kept quiet.

They all moved to the couches to talk. The two teams started bonding over trading stories about Nightwing/Robin. Said hero often acted as mediator and source of ridicule, but he didn't seem to mind. If it helped his two teams get along, he wouldn't object.

To the Titans, he seemed like a different person. He joked and laughed and threw pillows at Kid Flash. With a shock, they realized that he seemed happier after 10 minutes of conversation with them than he ever was with them. They couldn't help but feel a little jealous… and worried.

Finally, the conversation moved to more serious matters.

"What are you going to do when the League comes? We all know they will, so there's no use denying it. Our comms were destroyed in the fight so the League will come running to make sure we're ok. And they'll find you, Nightwing."

Silence.

Ooooh, ominous statement followed by silence. We know those are never good.

Until next time!

Review!
