Chapter 3:

Scott's P.O.V.

This is… disturbing, I guess. Or unnatural or scary or any 1 of 1000 different words that could define this. The Hood has teamed up with super-villains in another dimension to get Hood weapons and in payment for these weapons he brought across children. CHILDREN! These children also happen to be the protégés of a group of superheroes called the Justice League and they all fight crime. Well with my family and job I can't exactly comment can I?

We walk around the compound and I already hate these crutches. These kids ask a lot of questions as well, Robin asks the most. I can't blame him and I answer readily. He did save me and my brothers. Thinking about it now we know very little about them. They told us basic backstories but nothing more. I'll ask later when we give our lives in a little more detail.

We enter the hanger and there is a collective gasp.

3rd person P.O.V.

Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow are the only teens that don't seem at all shocked. Kid Flash looks around and states "Cool, I mean it's no Bat-Cave but still cool." Robin and R.A. both elbow him.

"Really, Kid Idiot? Do you always have to be so obnoxious?" Artemis exclaimed. Robin grinned and gasped, "If you can be obnoxious can you be noxious?" They all groaned and face palmed as Robin sniggered. "And before you say anything I know noxious means toxic like aster is a flower but why not I mean it's really whelming when you think about it, so many words with ignored prefixes."

The place was impressive even if it was 'no Bat-Cave'. All 5 vehicles in their places and a landing pad for the space elevator. Each vehicle was brilliant in its own right but together they were undoubtedly technological artwork. The inhabitants of Tracy Island were honoured by the reaction it got and many were definitely curious about this Bat-Cave. It sounded like a base but why did the prefix bat make it special. Artemis sighed, "What's so spectacular about the Bat-Cave anyway?" Robins face took on an offended look, "Besides the fact that I live there you mean?" he joked. She face palmed. Kid Flash and Red Arrow smirked: "Well…"

"There's the T-rex,"

"The giant penny,"

"The giant Joker card,"

"The Bat-Vehicles including the Bat-mobile/wing/boat/bikes/sub etc."

"The Bat-computer,"

Robin interrupted the stream of details with "Both of you shut up! It's a secret base for a reason." and they both looked sheepish. Everyone else was shocked. Mostly with the ideas that came to mind from said details but Artemis was glaring. "How in hell is it that two idiots like you can get into the Bat-Cave and know Rob's secret ID but we can't, and don't use the long-time hero excuse either?" The Three boys grinned and simultaneously tapped the sides of their noses. "You will never know!"

Zatanna winced as an argument broke out and it didn't go unnoticed by Robin. "Hey Zee, you ok?" she nodded and muttered, "It's nothing. It's just a trans-dimensional-headache. I'll manage." He smiled and passed her a (Bat) pain-killer and she smiled in gratitude. He paused, "That reminds me, and" he pulled out a pill and swallowed it dry before explaining, "Anti-poisons for the new Joker gas I inhaled last week." Virgil gaped, "We do have water! You didn't need to take it dry." That drew looks from everyone. Zatanna had created water but Robin hadn't. Robin explained "When I was 9, a year and a half after I started in the business I got injured, it was NOT asterous and it was dry or sewer water. I actually prefer dry now because it's quick and practical. " Kid's face had gone bright red and Red Arrow had grabbed him to stop him running away. Who wouldn't want to run with the full force of the Bat-glare upon them? "So," Artemis asked slyly, "What did you do to earn that glare?" "It wasn't my fault. Red was talking and…" Kid Flash tailed off so Red Arrow continued, "And you didn't believe Rob when he said the sewers were too dangerous in Gotham, didn't hear Croc coming and didn't move when he tried to kill you, meaning Robin had to push you." K.F. protested "I had 3 months experience and the Central Rouges were the only criminals I'd ever worried about. A giant humanoid crocodile was about to kill me so of course I froze up." R.A. started muttering about almost losing an arm, scars and Central idiots.

Miss Martian finally spoke up and said, "How long do you think we will be here. It's lovely and we're grateful for the hospitality but we have jobs back home and family as well." Superboy put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and Aqualad smiled, "I agree with Miss Martian. My team and I must get back home as soon as possible and we do not wish to be a burden on you for any longer than necessary."

The tour continued and conversations included missions, pranks and tech ideas. Alan and Gordon had made great friends with Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow. Robin had mentioned the scar on his shoulder but hadn't shown it. The tour ended back in the living room where Grandma brought out some cookies. The I.R. boys and Kayo instantly declined and most of the team found excuses. Robin's Bat-diet, Aqualad, Zatanna, R.A., Artemis, Superboy and Miss Martian were suddenly not hungry. Kid Flash however ran forward and began to scoff them without complaint while the rest of the room looked on in shock. "What? I have a high metabolism. I need to eat!" the team burst out laughing and sighing while the Tracy's gawked.

Aqualad then spoke up. "Robin, what do trans-dimensional rules say about identities? It is impractical to continue using our hero names." Robin spent exactly 45 seconds reading before replying, "Well, if we trust them not to reveal them in our world at any point and if they have trusted us we can reveal them but its leader's choice." Aqualad paused for a second before making his decision.

John's P.O.V.

They started to tell there IDs.

Kid Flash: Wally West.

Red Arrow: Roy Harper.

Artemis: Artemis Crock.

Aqualad: Kaldur'am (Kaldur).

Superboy: Con-El (Conner Kent).

Miss Martian: M'gann M'orzz (Megan Morse).

Robin: Hahahahahahahaha no way was he ever going to tell when most of his team don't even know.

Today has been a really weird day and I say that whilst sitting in Thunderbird 5, I.R.s orbiting satellite, and listening to the world's problems with an A.I. called EOS picking through them. I have only seen these events in hologram form.

I think I need an aspirin.
