Beast Boy walked up to Phoenix who was looking over the water.
"Is Rob ashamed of me or something?" she asked without turning towards him.
"More angry than anything I think." Beast Boy said.
"Why did I ever think that coming anywhere near this city would be a good idea?" Phoenix asked, "I tried to my best to avoid you guys."
"I never wanted that Nix." he said.
"No, but my brother did." Phoenix said, "He seems different."
"Different how?" Beast Boy asked.
"Colder." she said, "He used to laugh all the time and his endless puns and made up words."
"I know." he said.
"Why is Robin being such a dick to me?" she asked, smirking slightly at her own joke.
"Why were always a bitch?" he asked.
"I wasn't always a bitch," Phoenix defended.
"All the time." Beast Boy said.
"I don't know." she said with a heavy sigh.
"Why were you here?" he asked.
"I was driving on my bike and I crashed it. I went to the baby doctor because I'm pregnant and I needed to see if it was okay." Phoenix said.
"How did that happen?" Beat Boy asked.
"The crash or the baby?" she asked. He gave her a look and she frowned.
"I was upset because Jason died and there was a chance I was dying and Robin wasn't taking my calls. I needed to tell him, I needed him. It's just...whenever I fell growing up I knew I would never hit the ground because Rob was always going to be there to catch me. He used to always say that we went through everything together so we should stick together. Rob said that we were so connected that when one of us was heartbroken the other one was in just as much pain. I believed him." Phoenix said. Beast Boy put an encouraging hand on her shoulder and sighed.
"I don't know where he's coming from, I talk to M'gann every single day." he said, "I do know that he cares about you a lot."
"Not enough." she said, "You know that last thing he said before he left was that he didn't need me. The problem is I needed him."
"You're not dying right?" Beast Boy asked.
"Not to my knowledge Gar," Phoenix said.
"Good." he said.
"How's kid mouth?" she asked.
"Great, he has a girlfriend." Beast Boy said.
"Good for him. No responsibilities. Completely free." Phoenix said, taking a deep breath.
"Artemis had a kid too didn't she?" he asked.
"No, not at all. That would be an awful coincidence," she said.
"Is it an existing awful coincidence?" Beast Boy asked.
"Maybe," Phoenix said.
"We're going to have to tell him." he said.
"Why? He's gone this long and you just said he was doing great," she said.
"We'll make it quick." Beast Boy said. She couldn't help but chuckle.
"I actually missed the puns," Phoenix said.
"Rob doesn't tell as many anymore." he said.
"Why not?" Phoenix asked.
"I wish I knew Nix." Beast Boy said.
"I missed you guys so much and now that I'm here...I just don't know what to do." she said.
"I missed you too," Robin said making both of them spin around.
"I'll leave you two to talk." Beast Boy said walking towards the tower.
"Why didn't you call?" Phoenix asked.
"I thought that if I called you than it would mean I couldn't do it on my own," Robin said.
"That's not a bad thing," Phoenix said.
"I didn't want to take the chance that you didn't need me." he said.
"Of course I needed you, I always will." she said.
"I should've been there. When Jason died, when you were scared. I should've swallowed my pride and been there." Robin said.
"Why didn't you?" Phoenix said.
"I was too proud to admit that I made a mistake." he said.
"I'm sorry about Zee." she said.
"I get it, I hate it, but I get it," Robin said.
"Does this mean I'm not a dark secret?" Phoenix asked.
"The day I view you as something awful is the day I'm not me anymore," Robin said pulling her into a hug. Phoenix wrapped arms around him and buried her face in his cape.
"I love you." she cried as tears rolled down her face.
"I love you too sis." He said softly kissing her head.
"You should probably call Wally, he should know about his child too," Phoenix said.
"As long as you convince Zee to let me see my kid," Robin said. They pulled away.
"He is three and his name is John. He has black hair and blue eyes. He is also one of the sweetest kids on the planet. He likes outing Grandpa Bruce and I'm his favorite aunt. He used to love when Jason and I would take him to the park. John is very excited about the fact that he is getting a cousin and very confused at why his uncle Jason can't play cars with him anymore. Zee is a great mom and yes I will call her because I think you would make a great dad." Phoenix said.
"He sounds amazing," Robin said.
"He is." Phoenix said, "I'll call her right now."
"I'll call Wally," he said. Phoenix smiled and nodded.
After they both hung up the rest of the team walked out.
"Can someone please tell us whats going on?" Raven said.
"Phoenix is my little sister. Zee or Zatanna is my ex-girlfriend and also the mother to my child that I didn't know was living." Robin said.
"I thought you said you did not know where the father was," Starfire said.
"Well, he's very different," Phoenix said.
"I'm not that different," Robin said.
"Stop sulking." she said.
"I'm not sulking." he said.
"Whatever you say," Phoenix said.
"So you have a little sister and a kid?" Cyborg asked.
"A son," Phoenix said.
"Isn't Zatanna on the Justice League?" Raven asked.
"Not when they went out." Beast Boy said, "I also have a sister."
"Adopted sister, M'gann," Phoenix said.
"Anything else?" Starfire asked.
"Kid Flash and Red Arrow are practically my brothers," Phoenix said.
"Then why don't you ever call me?" Wally asked as he ran up behind them.
"I do call you, you just don't ever pick up," she said. He smiled and hugged Phoenix.
"So how are you?" she asked.
"Really good. Robin said you wanted to tell me something." Kid Flash said.
"You have a child," Phoenix said really quickly.
"You're hilarious what did you want to tell me?" he said.
"She's a little girl named Nancy. She's three and Barry has to babysit half the time because she has super speed. I tried to tell you." she said.
"Nixie tell me you're kidding," Wally said.
"I'm not," Phoenix said.
"Why didn't Arty tell me?" he asked.
"She found out after you left and you weren't taking calls." she said, "I hope it isn't to fortuitous but she's bringing her here."
"Right now?" Kid Flash asked.
"Bad timing?" Phoenix asked.
"No, it's fine." Kid Flash said nervously.
"They're coming by Bio ship and M'gann is coming with them because she needs a break from the twins," Phoenix said.
"Awesome!" Beast Boy said.
"We will be delighted to meet everyone," Starfire said taking Robin's hand. He smiled and the bio-ship came into view.
