A/N: Special thanks to PikaGirl-AAML for adding me as a Favorite Author, placing me and the story on the Author Alert list, Story Alert, and Favorite Story.

Also, you might notice I took down the Robin poll. Richard Grayson won four to one. I'll probably keep the playful character like his Young Justice counterpart, rather than his stoic Teen Titans personality.

Justin the Constant Reviewer: I get it. To be honest, patience isn't one of my virtues. They ran because they were excited to see Black Canary.

Finally, this week in Film Club, I asked a guy wearing a Batman shirt who his favorite Batman was, and I gave him the options of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Jean Paul Valley (I hate him. He tried to kill Tim). My Film Club teacher said that he only liked Dick Grayson as Robin, and then he asked who came after Dick Grayson as Robin, after he became Nightwing. A senior who created Film Club, Jake, and I started reeling off the names, but he stopped after Tim Drake, leaving me to finish with Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne. Jake ran over to me and was like "she just made my day," and high fived me. Long story short, to get on a senior's good side, be a DC fan.

Together they walked at a leisurely pace as they headed towards the training room, Kaldur stared at the ex-protégée in beside him. "You were Black Canary's protégée? What happened to make you no longer her partner?"

"It's a long story."

Kaldur stopped as they reached the entrance to the room. "Are you sure you wish to confront her?"

"I might as well. What do I have to lose?"

Kaldur shrugged and led the way. Robin and Black Canary were in the middle of a sparring session, and Megan waved over at Kaldur and Bluejay entering the room, and greeted them enthusiastically when they reached them.

When Robin stumbled, Black Canary took him out to earn the computer's "Fail: Robin" exclamation.

"Does anyone see what he did wrong?" Silence met the mentor as she helped up the Boy Wonder. Kid Flash was too busy day dreaming, Superboy was brooding, Kaldur had only just arrived, and Megan was as naïve with fighting as she was Earth customs.

Finally, Bluejay spoke. "He reacted. When you threw a left-handed hook, he moved to his left to dodge the move, causing an opening in his guard for you to kick him in the leg, which led to his stumble and fall." Black Canary froze when she heard her voice and turned on the girl.

"What's she doing here?" The blonde meta-human's voice was cold as she looked at her ex-protégée, but did not address her. She seemed to rather be speaking about Bluejay as if she was a puppy a child had picked up from the street when the child knew very well that Daddy was allergic to dogs and they could not have dogs in the house.

"Look, Canary-"

"I didn't ask you, Tasha*."

Wally turned to Robin and whispered, "Her name's Tasha?"

Robin whispered back, "She doesn't look like a Tasha, does she?"

"Dinah, if you would just listen-"

"No. I told you a year ago, I didn't want you to be a hero anymore-"

"And sit back at home and watch you set off in the middle of the night and leave me behind? All because I made one stupid, cocky mistake? I was fourteen, Dinah. I was acting impulsively, and I paid for it myself, besides escaping your verdict of punishment."

"You act as if I wasn't acting rationally."

Bluejay bristles. "You weren't! I make a rookie mistake, considering I was a rookie, and you blow your top about it."

Just as Black Canary opens her mouth to respond, Robin holds up his hands. "Whoa, before a cat fight breaks out right here-"

"-Which would be interesting to see-" Wally cuts in.

"-could you please tell us, what exactly happened that made you two so angry?"

Bluejay and Black Canary share a glance. "Black Canary was my mentor a year ago."

"We were out on a mission."

"So far, we had been on a successful streak. Every villain we had pursued ended up in Star City jail."

"This one, however, was very close to getting away."

"I was cocky, and I was sure we could take him down, along with his entire henchman team, but I overestimated our abilities."

"The only option for stopping most of them was for me to use my Canary Cry."

Bluejay looks down at her feet. "I refused to stop pursuing the guy, and Black Canary was forced to use her abilities despite my being in the way. I was fortunate for a henchman to try to attack me just as she let loose, and he got in the way of me feeling the full impact of the cry."

"Bluejay was slightly deaf for a week, and after that week, most whispers were hard for her to hear."

"I never really healed from that one time, and my hearing is still difficult. Anything too high pitched, or too low, is impossible to hear. It's like when you get that dog whistle app on your phone, and you play a high frequency, and most people over eighteen can't hear it."

"That must suck."

"Believe me; you don't know the half of it."

"After the mission, just after her recovery, I denied Tasha the right to join me on missions any further, for I believed that she might become more severely injured should she act rashly again."

"Wait, wait, wait." Wally waved his hands around wildly. "You're name is Tasha?"

Bluejay rolled her eyes. "My first name is Natasha, but I generally go by Jacellyn, my middle name."

"That sounds like a made up name."

"That's because it is. The name is like Jace Wayland (A/N: Sigh. Jace Wayland) but with an 'Lyn' at the end.

"Oh."

Robin looked between the two. Besides their tense postures, they had almost nothing in common. "No relation, huh?"

"What?"

"You aren't related, are you?"

"No." The ex-coworkers said in unison, and shot a glare at each other before turning away.

Kaldur stepped in front of Black Canary. "When Kid Flash and Artemis fought about Kid Flash's eating habits in front of the television while playing video games and his lack of picking up his messes while you were our 'den mother' you had them fight out their frustration with their fists rather than their shrill words.** Rather than just preach such choices, why not follow them as well?"

Bluejay looked over her shoulder at Black Canary. "I guess I am a little out of practice." The younger admitted. "Want to go a round or two?"

Black Canary shrugged and Bluejay's jeans shifted to a black leotard, shorts, and combat boots as they stepped into their postions.

The fight was much more interesting than watching Robin and Black Canary fight. While they had known their teacher was very skilled and experienced, they had never really seen her lash out fully- but may not have been during this fight.

With every punch, block, and kick, the anticipation grew between the observing team. There were moments when Black Canary seemed to have actually snagged Bluejay, but the girl would dance out of the shot. There were times when Canary would make a move, and Bluejay would dodge out of the way as if she had predicted that the teacher would make that move, or had read her mind. But that was not to say Bluejay had the upper hand, for Black Canary still was able to lay a few strikes on the girl, and Bluejay nailed less.

Twenty seconds into the fight, the same thought dawned upon Robin and Wally, and they glanced at each other.

"Ten on Canary." Wally whispered.

"Ten on a tie." Robin hissed back.

Kaldur scowled at the boys, who smiled at him apologetically.

Finally, both drew back, breathing hard, but still tense. They circled each other, waiting for another to strike. Neither did, and Black Canary dropped out of her stance.

"Not too bad, Tasha. You slipped up in a few places."

"I know. It's easy to realize mistakes after they've been made though, right?"

"Small and large ones alike." At that point, the team didn't know if they were talking about sparring or their argument that had led to the disbandment of their unknown partnership. The two shook hands and Black Canary ordered Kaldur and Megan to fight. Once her back was turned, Robin snatched Wally's Hamiliton (A/N: Alexander Hamiliton appears on the United States ten dollar bill, for all you non-Americans~~) from his hand.

The computer's recognition system sounded again. "Recognized:…"

A/N:

* Tasha, as in Lieutenant Natasha "Tasha" Yarr from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Personally I prefer the Original Series and Voyager (I AM NOT A GEEK! I am a nerd). My father wanted to name me Tasha. I prefer the nickname Badger.

** Pretend he didn't have a broken arm at this time.
