I sat in my new hotel room, frustration and anger flowed through me. Apparently while I was with Adam and Daniels someone moved all my belongings to a new hotel. A hotel where they had access to the security cameras, so they could keep an eye on me.

They also my phone had been bugged, so they could listen in on any phone conversations I had.

I could have disabled the bug and the cameras, but if I did that an alarm would go off and they would take Amber.

Why I ever got involved with the Tigers I have no idea!

And how could Adam betray me like this? He was my best friend!

~~FLASH BACK~~

I walked the halls of the dorm trying to find room A-26. This was all so new, and I was starting to regret my decision. I don't know how I'm going to survive this place. When I got the offer to come and train here I was so excited to get started, but now that I'm here my nerves were almost to much to handle.

I came to a stop at a wood door with sign that said A-26 on it. This was the place.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

It was a normal looking room, a bed and a desk on both sides of the room, a window in between the two beds. There was also a closet on both sides of the room.

I walked over to the bed on the right side of the room, and set my bags down. It felt like my sumach was doing flips. I need some fresh air. I walked to the window and opened it, taking a deep breath.

"Hi." I jumped at the unfamiliar voice, and turned to see a smiling face in the door way. "sorry I didn't mean to scare you." said the man in the door way. He had sandy colored hair and green eyes, a smile on his face.

"I'm Adam." he said as he walked over to me and extended his hand for me to shake.

"Mark." I said shaking his hand with a smile.

"Hey Mark! Looks like were going to be room mates." he walked to the bed on the right side of the room and set his bags in front of it.

I studied him for a moment the way his eyes never looked at one place for to long and the slight twitch of his hand.

"Are you nerves?" I asked.

The question seemed to catch him off guard, then his smile seemed to relax. "is it that obvious?"

"It's ok I am to." I said sending him a knowing smile.

"How old are you Mark?" he asked me after a moment of silence.

"19" I responded.
"I'm 21." he said. "you know what mark I think we are going to be good friends."

~~END FLASH BACK~~

I slammed my fist into the desk next to me. I had so much rage and nothing to take it out on.

I was pulled out of my raged thoughts when my phone rang.


Mount justice:

Robin entered his room and locked the door behind him. He walked over to his bed and slowly lied down. He winced at the pain in his ribs. Robin didn't like to show weakness, but now that he was alone he let his pain show. After a moment he picked up his phone and called Mark. Now that he had his brother back he found himself enjoying every time they got to talk.

Th phone rang for a moment then when strait to voice mail.

He waited for the tone then went to leave a message.

"Hey Mark it's me I was just wondering-" He was cut off by the computer generated voice.

"This number hes been blocked, please wait and try again later."

Dick pulled his phone away from his ear and gave it a strange look. He then tried again.

"This number has been blocked, please wait and try again later."

He sighed and put his phone down on the bed next to him. Why would Mark block his number? Did he not want to talk to him?

He sate in the silence of his room just letting himself think, when a small knock sound through the room. It was so quiet robin almost thought he imagined it.

"Who is it?"
"Um... it's Artemis. Can I talk to you for a minute."

Robin raised an eyebrow. "Yeah sure just a moment." He carefully got up from his bed and made his way over to the door. He opened it and smiled at the archer. His smile faltered slightly when he noticed how she looked uncomfortable. "Everything ok Arty?"
"Yeah... could we talk in privet?"

now Robin was worried. He stepped to the side and motioned for the blond girl to enter.


Mark P.O.V:

My eyes widened and I quickly snatched up my phone. It must be Amber! I have to make sure she's ok!

I looked at my phone and stopped when I realized it was Dick. My eyes grew wider, I immediately clicked the ignore button. I then erased his number from my phone and blocked it. I then made sure there was no trace of it at all.

They already had Amber in there sights, there was no way I was going to let them get Dick as well.

I had already screwed up so much, the least I could is keep my brother out of harms way.


Artemis' P.O.V. a half hour earlier:

"Artemis this is going to drive me crazy!" Zatanna said as she flopped back on her bed. The two of us were sitting in her room talking about what we heard from Robin. In all the excitement of the mission I had almost for got.

"I really want to ask him about it!"

I give a small laugh from my spot in her desk chair. "yeah like that's going to get us anywhere."

"well... your right." She sighed.

She didn't know everything about Robin and his brother that I did. I had thought it best to leave out the part about him being gone for six years. It just seemed to personal.

"I don't know how else to get the info!" She said.

"maybe we should just leave it be?" I offered. "I mean if Batman wants to keep Robin's I.D. a secret then we probably shouldn't pry."

She looked at me for a moment. "Who are you?" She asked in a joking voice. "You cant be Artemis, the girl who will stop at nothing to get the info that she wants."

I pose a moment to think. "Well I guess we could ask Wally."

"That's a great idea!" Zatanna sat up and smiled at me.

"But he probably wont talk." I added and I saw her smile fall.

"Wait!" her smile was back but more devious then before. "I think I have a spell we could use."

Artemis P.O.V. present time:

I really shouldn't do this! But something inside told me I should.

This is his personal life! I definitely should not go through with this.

But on the other hand. I don't want him to go through what I did.

Me and Zatanna had talked to wally and as expected he told us nothing.

I was going to leave it there, but then Zee said some spell and he spilled. She made sure to use a spell that would get the info she wanted without giving away Robin's I.D.

thanks to that little spell I now know that Robin's brother was about 21 or so and had disappeared when Robin was seven. Rob's family when through I lot of "bad stuff" as Wally put it, and not once did his brother sow up. And just the other day his brother comes and wants to fix things.

This reminded me of what happened with Jade. Shes leaves and then one day just shows up. She wanted to try and fix things with me and mom, I was so blind by the fact that I had my sister back that I didn't really think about it. The next thing I knew she abandoned me again.

And now I'm standing in front of Robin's room debating with myself whether or not to talk to him about this.

I would usually just let people take care of there personal stuff on their own, but this just hit to close to home.

That's it. I'm going to do this, even if he ends up hating me, I should tell him.

I take a deep breath and knock softly on the door.

"Who is it?" came a voice from the other side of the door. Great no backing down now.


In some sketchy dark room in down town Gotham:

"Who called Grayson's phone?" A low voice echoed through the dark room. The source of the voice was the figure at the window.

Another figure came to join the first at the window. "I'm not sure."

"I want a name by tomorrow." The first figure ordered.

"Yes Sir." Answered the second person.

"Oh and Daniels." The first said. "Don't mess this one up. I'm growing tired of giving second chances.
