(A/N: STILL NO SLASH, just Wally and Roy bein' good friends~ Now, I hope you all enjoy, let's watch and see the Team's reaction~~~)

Dick and Wally headed down to the Batcave after changing and shutting off the Xbox. Dick quickly called shotgun before Wally could, cackling at his friend's expression before hopping into the ready vehicle.

When the vehicle started to move, the car grew quiet. Robin's mind was racing as he started to panic a little bit… He didn't know how his friends would react to this new news… Would their opinions of him change? Would they be upset that they had to find out this way? What if they had hated Dick Grayson?

What if- what if- what if? There was too many of those.

Just then, someone shook his shoulder and Robin jumped a bit. He turned back to look at Wally.

"Dude, you need to relax, it'll be fine," he told his best friend. Robin gave him a confused look.

"How'd you know I was worried? I tried not to show it on my face," he said and Wally rolled his eyes.

"Dude, you have that mastered, when you don't want to show your emotions at least," he reassured Robin. "I just know you that well."

Robin slugged his friend in the shoulder. "Sure, sure," he said, snickering as Wally rubbed his arm.

"You punch hard," he complained and Robin laughed a bit louder.

"Boys…" Batman warned in a hard tone and the two of them grew quiet…

The drive only lasted about ten more minutes before the Mountain came into view. Batman dropped them off around back before he left.

Wally instantly began to head towards the entrance, but only got a few feet before noticing Robin wasn't following. He stopped and turned to face his friend, who was frozen in place.

"Dude, I've never seen you this nervous before… What's wrong besides the obvious reveal?" he questioned his bud, concern in his voice as he placed a hand on Dick's shoulder.

"What if they don't like the other side of me? What if they'd always consider Richard a brat? What if they're mad for finding out this way? What if –" he started whispering, but his voice had risen with each sentence. Wally quickly cut him off.

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA, first off, to many 'what if's', those are never right, and, secondly, Robin seriously, THAT'S what you're worried about?" Wally asked him, making sure he'd heard right.

Robin nodded his expression grave.

Wally cracked a smile. "Dude, someone finding out your alias is just them having another name to call you; you are still the same person, same personality, and the SAME Robin they know, alright?"

Robin's eyebrows pinched together, he hadn't thought of it that way.

Wally put an arm around his friend's shoulder, starting to lead him forward. "Now, come on, it's all gonna be fine, I promise… I'm here for you dude."

Robin nodded, feeling a smidgen better, and the two of them headed inside.

"Recognized, Robin B01… Recognized, Kid Flash B03," the computer said as they entered the Mountain. Once inside, Robin paused again.

The whole team was already there in the Main Room (the one with the TV) waiting, what surprised Dick was that Spe- Red Arrow was there too. His nerves came back in a rush and his body locked into place.

Wally sighed, rolling his eyes, and got behind his friend and pushed him forward until Robin snapped out of it and walked the rest of the way. He paused right outside the circle of chairs, all eyes were on him.

The room was silent for a while, no one speaking and everyone still looking at Robin, until, finally, Kaldur broke the silence.

"Robin, we heard about what happened –" he began to say when suddenly Robin cut him off with a cry of anger as he punched the wall next to him.

"It's not fair!" he shouted. "You guys weren't supposed to find out this way! I was going to tell you myself in a few months if Batman didn't let me do it sooner, THAT'S how you were supposed to learn this, not because stupid Bullock decided to stalk us that night and then expose us once he'd –"

"Robin, stop, it's okay…" Megan quickly interrupted. "You know we still consider you our friend right, even though we know your other name, right? You're STILL Robin."

Dick just stood there, looking at them for a while, his face so completely emotionless that it was almost like a Batman face… Suddenly, he broke down, though. He collapsed onto the floor, his head in his knees as he sobbed.

Roy and Wally instantly reacted to their brother's action, and the team quickly followed in response. They all sort of hovered around him while Roy tried to coax Robin to tell them what was wrong, just to get it off his chest…. None of them (minus Wally and Roy) had ever seen Robin cry before, when they thought of him, they thought of this strong, cheerful boy who had mad ninja, acrobatic and hacking skills… Of course, when they learned his identity just recently, they also realized he'd watched his parents die at a young age, and they were all sorry for him for that, but that still didn't change their opinion of him much at all.

They all waited as he caught his breath, though a few tears still fell down his cheeks.

"I'm- I'm just stressed out… All of this is so sudden," Robin finally managed to get out, "it's wearing on me… and then I was worrying about how you guys would react and how my school friends are going to treat me… and then there's all of Gotham –"

"Okay, okay… how about we take some weight off of those shoulders of yours and talk this through, one possible issue at a time? It may help you relax a bit, too," Kaldur suggested helpfully while at the same time cutting short his friend's rant.

Robin was quiet for a bit, but he finally nodded. He still looked so… vulnerable though, so… SCARED, that's what he was. The little bird was scared.

As the team slowly realized this, it brought to their sharp attention just how much their friend had gone through in his young life… He'd watched his parents die at a young age, leaving him with no one, only to be taken in by total stranger (who turned out to be the best second Dad he could ask for) and then getting revenge at a still young age, along with all of this crime fighting. Take that and add this new dilemma on top of it and that was a big burden even for someone more around Bruce's age…

He was only 14…

"Look, let's clear up one thing right now," Superboy stepped in, a little bit livid at the world (okay, a LOT livid –) for making their youngest team member break down like this. He, like the rest of the team, loved Robin like a younger brother so this upset him. "Robin, our opinions of you haven't changed because of this, not at all. Just because we know your real name now, doesn't mean you're a completely different person! We all understand that an alias is an important thing to keep a secret, so however Richard must act isn't always how you would act. We've been on a team together for a year, we already have our view of you constructed, and I speak for all of us when I say that you are a good kid. You are still our friend and nothing will change that."

The rest of the team stared at him in shock. He usually didn't give big shpeels like that, but he'd basically taken everything that they were all thinking and put it to words, or rather (in simpler form) taken the words out of their mouths.

"Really?" Robin whispered, looking around at his teammates (and Roy). They all nodded without hesitation and that made Robin smile at them.

"Thanks guys, that means a lot to me," he told them, still smiling and mostly looking at Superboy who just nodded to him, his time for talking was over.

"Okay, that's one thing down –" Kaldur began to say, but Artemis cut in.

"Not to be insensitive, but if we're going to continue this can we at least move to the couches?" she suggested in her rough voice. Everyone nodded and murmured their agreement and they slowly made their ways over to the seats.

Now they were all in a circle, looking at one another; Roy was by Robin, still protecting his younger brother, Wally was on a one seater near his buddy, Artemis and Megan were on another couch, Superboy was on the ground, using the space between Artemis and Megan (who had her hand on Connor's hair, running her fingers through it absentmindedly; they'd been dating for two months now) as a back rest, and Kaldur was on a chair he'd swiped from the Kitchen.

"So… about how Gotham is going to treat you after this…" Artemis started.

"I'm sure their opinion won't change too much," Megan chimed in, optimist as per usual.

Robin rolled his eyes. "I doubt it; they're not like you guys. The only thing they've ever known about me is what they've seen on the news, and the fact that I am rich man Bruce Wayne's adopted son, once THIS new revelation blows around, all of that is going to change; side-glances, mistrust, the works."

"You don't know that," Wally said, but his defense was weak and even he knew it, he was trying to cheer his friend up.

"But I DO though," Robin groaned, burying his head in his hands, "all of my school friends aren't going to trust me anymore, and a lot of people are now going to openly hate me… Batman and Robin are people to be feared when it comes to certain people, and now that they know who we really are, they can get us at any time!"

No one spoke for a while, not sure how to respond to that… They all knew it was true, no matter how badly they didn't want it to be.

Finally, Roy spoke.

"When I'm not busy, I can always come and protect –" he started to suggest when Robin's head popped up.

"No! I don't want this situation to make me seem helpless either," he snapped harshly. "Even though they know, this also means I can defend myself openly, so I don't need guarding."

"But, Robin, we can help," Megan protested. "We want to!"

"Don't you think it would be better if you had people with you when you were out, even just us in our civilian form? There's safety in numbers," Kaldur pointed out.

Robin sighed, closing his eyes and pressing his head into his hands again. They could tell he was honestly thinking about it, so they gave him some silence.

Finally, he looked up, massaging his temples.

"All of this concern means a lot to me, it shows you care so it really does… but I feel like it'd be a waste of time –" he started to argue but Wally cut him off.

"It wouldn't be if it meant you didn't get attacked every day, besides it would just be like any of us hanging out as friends, even if there IS an ulterior motive behind it, no one has to know that," Wally told him.

Robin rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hand this time and let out a sigh.

"Alright, fine I agree it would be smart…" he said to them.

Kaldur nodded. "Good, then we'll all arrange times when we're free and take turns coming over for a day or two –"

Just then, the holographic computer flickered to life and the whole team grew quiet as they stared at the screen.

Batman and Superman's faces were the first to appear.

"Alright, as two of you very well know already, the Justice Leauge has called an emergency meeting to discuss this… situation, and you're now involved, so listen up and only speak when spoken too," was Batman's curt advice before their view zoomed out to reveal the large meeting room in the Watch Tower.

The meeting began.

(A/N: AH I just couldn't stand the thought of going two days without an update, so here it is, I hope you guys enjoyed it! *Review!* The next chapter will be on the meeting from the Watch Tower. Hope you like ^-^)
