Okay, I'm sorry for the hiatus, you'll have to forgive me (Obviously, you already do, because this show might as well be called Hiatus 101). But, even as I stopped posting regurly, I gained new followers. Oh my God, that's so cool. So, for my appreciation gift, have a blip of an upcoming chapter. I have it all written out for you, but sadly, it's not too far from the end, and *sob* forgive me if I don't want it to end. But hey, always more to write! Please enjoy, forgive me, and see you at the bottom.

The team came out of the bioship looking like they had fought a steamroller and lost.

"What happened?" Black Canary asked, concerned.

"We were down a team mate," Superboy growled, restraining himself from punching a wall. Black Canary watched the teens stalk to the debriefing room. "That's what."

"Oh."

Batman was there waiting for them. Robin was the first to ask. "Where's Jerra?"

"Currently in Gotham City, being monitored by myself." The cowl tilted down to look at him. "Was the mission a success?"

"It would've been better if we had our seventh member," Wally put in helpfully, pulling off his dirty goggles.

"Can you perhaps make contact with her, and ask her to come back to the team?" Kaldur suggested politely.

"One of you already has." Batman informed them, stepping out of the room. "I will call for your next assignment."

They all turned to the Gothamite. "Robin?" Megan asked gently. "You talked to her?"

"It wasn't much of a conversation," he muttered.

"Is she…okay?" Artemis crossed her arms.

"If by 'okay' you mean, hasn't got herself killed just yet?" Robin sighed. "Yeah, she's okay."

The team stood in a worried, awkward silence for a moment before hyperactive KF started to say, "Rob—"

"She's so out of it, Wallman, she's going to get herself murdered," Robin stomped the floor, pulling off his cape. "Ugh, I'm going to cha—I'm going to Gotham." He quickly re-strapped his cape to his uniform and raced toward the zeta beam transporter.

"Robin, B-0-1."

Jason's head popped up expectantly. He threw down the batarangs he was tinkering (meddling) with and raced to the glowing platform. "How was the mission? Did Jerra join you? Did you win? Well, I guess you're still alive. Hey, if you ever die, can I get all the tech in your room? Or just your room in general? Hey!" Jason scowled as Dick brushed past him.

"Where was Jerra last spotted?" The older boy demanded.

"What? Oh, I checked a minute ago, she's been near Wayne Tower a lot-" Jason trailed off, watching his role model-slash-brother stuff some tools in his tool belt and storm back out the beam. With a flash, Richard was gone.

"Robin."

"Tempus."

"Dick."

"Jerra."

"So, Boy Wonder, ten guesses what brings you here." She smirked a little; a good sign, alone time was actually what she needed. Huh.

"You."

"Always," Jerra grinned, flicking her hair out of her face. It was just getting to the late evening—the sun was still up. Apparently, Jerra's crimefighting didn't sleep.

"The team needs you." He told her earnestly. "We practically got our butts kicked today. We need our time-warper."

She smiled lightly. "Really? You guys were great before I joined."

"Once you're on the team, you're never off," Dick placed a hand on her shoulder. "And…and I miss you. A lot. I thought…we, well, we had something." He felt stupid, trying to express his feelings, but he tried nonetheless. "Oh, and Jason's been stalking you on the Batcomputer. He misses you, too."

Jerra perked up. "Oh, heh, I almost forgot about the little guy."

Robin snorted. "He'd be happy to hear that." He took her hand, and she only halfheartedly pulled away. "Also, Alfred's been cleaning your room every waking second, and he's been inconspicuously bringing your belongings from your old house to the manor. It's rather funny, actually."

Jerra stayed silent, looking at the gravelly roof. Then, "I guess I forgot about the new civilian life I got by being a hero."

"Does that mean you're coming home?" Robin asked, hopefully not too hopefully.

"I'll go to the manor, yes," she stepped back and pulled her hands to her chest. "Not 'home,' not yet."

He let her lead the way.

Wheee! Did I mention how clever I think I am? Anywho, I love you all, I'll probably post the finishing chapters tonight and tomorrow, but I've been conflicted about adding fluff chapters or not before this reaches it's end. And, please don't kill me. You'll understand.

Read on,
