Jade had been awake since four in the morning and unable to stand having dirtied bandages on her wounded side she slipped out of her room without waking Artemis. Moving down the hall she quickly found that they had not labeled the turns and all the damn hallways looked the same. Growling in frustration she stopped in the middle of a four hall split and looked down each of the individual passages.

"You look lost", she turned to see Robin standing in the hall behind her and offered a friendly smile. The teen took a few more steps forward till her stood beside her and looked down the other three halls.

"Right is kitchen, straight main hall, left medical and detainment, and behind us is living quarters and lounge areas.", he watched her as she looked down each hall as if committing them to her memory.

"Thanks Boy Wonder your alright", she winked and started down the hall to their left.

"Is it real?", stopping Jade looked over her shoulder at him.

"Is what real?".

"The two of you?", biting her bottom lip she brushed her hair back and nodded.

"Its real-ly not your business", continuing down the hall she took the first turn she could find and flattened her back against the wall with a sigh. Covering her face with her hands she took a moment to gather herself.

"Chesh?", looking up she saw Roy exiting one of the medical rooms, his hands filled with gauze, tape, and antiseptic ointment. "Hey are you okay?", he came towards her and she nodded slowly.

"Just needing a shower", he smirked and balanced the supplies in one of his hands and offered her his free arm. Taking his arm she came away from the wall and rested her head against his shoulder as he turned back towards the medical room. "Didn't you have something you were doing?", she motioned to the supplies he held and he nodded slowly.

"I was coming to change your bandages", as they entered the room Jade looked around feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"Oh my hero", she purred as he led her to the bed to sit down.

"Someone has to take care of you", he seemed to stop as he said that and Jade lifted her eyes. The silence that filled the small room made them both look anywhere accept at each other. "About that wound", he turned to face her and she nodded.

…...

Zatana sat on Dick's bed watching as he lifted his cape and peeked through a hole in it. She giggled and waved to him making him chuckle as he lowered the material and toss the damaged cape on his work bench.

"Well that one is retired", he placed his hands on his hips and hung his head.

"How many costumes do you guys go through?", she shifted to lay on her stomach, bringing her feet up to kick in the air.

"Depends really, KF goes through like six a month, Super Boy well lets leave it at a lot, M'gann's is like part of her, Artemis and Kaldur they are to careful", he shrugged and reached to pick up his mask from the bed beside Zatana. With a giggle she grabbed the domino mask and put it on her own face.

"Wow this thing feels weird", she looked at him and Dick smirked.

"Its not fit for your face", he stated and removed it from her face to reveal her blue eyes. She smiled up at him and then turned to look at the alarm clock on his bed side table.

"Urgh I got to get going, I have a few things I have to do and if im not home tonight when dad gets home he will freak", Dick tossed his mask aside, sat down on the bed and laid back.

"He's still mad about you staying here the other night?", she nodded and played with his bangs.

"Im lucky I haven't had my costume and stockings taken away…yet. Plus you have training this morning", leaning over she kissed him chastely and got up from the bed. Getting up he followed her to his door and leaned against the jamb as the door opened, looking up at him she smiled.

"Im glad you came to see me", he muttered a slight blush showing on his cheeks.

"Good, now I have to go but ill see you tomorrow", she closed her eyes as he kissed her cheek.

"Get home ill see you then", she nodded and left him, Dick sighed but quickly stepped back as a rush of air flew past him and into his room. "Tell me you are not naked!", slapping his hand over his eyes Dick slammed his door.

"Uh huh", he heard from his bathroom.

"Why are you naked?", he spread his fingers and upon not being scarred by seeing Wally's behind he lowered his hand.

"Long story short…I played a prank on Connor, stepped out of the shower and guess what, no clothes, no towels! Your room was the closest", he stepped out of Dick's bathroom in a pair of his jeans. "Was that Zatana leaving?", he raised an eyebrow and Dick rolled his eyes.

"Yes that was her, and by the way that extra pair of exercise clothes in the closet is yours. Training in ten", he moved past Wally but stopped in his bathroom door way. "Don't you have your own bathroom in your room?", he heard a groan.

"There is nothing wrong with the locker room showers", he defended.

"You broke the shower head didn't you?", he smirked and Wally shrugged nonchalantly.

"Yeah but its all good, and why do I have a change of clothes in here? Are you a stalker?", he pretended to cover his exposed chest, Dick smacked his forehead.

"Just get ready", he entered his bathroom to the sound of Wally's laughter.

…...

"Robin: Status Fail", he groaned as the training room floor chimed in on his obvious failure. Getting to his feet he looked at Connor who was looking pleased with him self.

"Rob your on defense, he is offence so please explain to me how you ate floor?", he looked over his shoulder at Wally who was facing off with Kaldur in the sparring.

"Shut up your about to get failed", Wally turned his attention back to Kaldur only to have his feet swept out from under him.

"Kid Flash: Status Fail", Dick chuckled but silenced when he saw Black Canary turn her attention in them.

"Do I have to separate the two of you?", they shook their head and returned their attention back to their respected matches.

"Mind if I cut in?", they all stopped to see Roy enter the training hall.

"Aren't you grounded?", Connor rotated his shoulder as he tilted his head to the side.

"No he may join", Black Canary smiled.

"But no team involvement?", Roy replied.

"If you sit on your behind you will be useless when you are allowed back." they all nodded in agreement and training picked back up were it had left off.

A few hours later the teens were all covered in sweat and regaining their breaths as Black Canary grabbed her coat and turned to face them. The sight made her smile, Connor was sitting on the floor with M'gann beside him chatting, Artemis was arguing quietly with Wally who was seated with his back resting against Robins' who was talking to Kaldur and Roy. They had grown together so much over the short time they had all been together as Young Justice. Nodding to her self she turned and left the team to talk, she had a feeling Roy had a few things to work out with the others.

…...

"Ok Canary is gone and while every one else is being subtle Im not going to take that route.", the others looked to Connor as he turned his attention to Roy. "What's going on with you and Cheshire", Roy lowered his eyes.

"Her name is Jade and what's going on is…it's..", he rubbed his neck as he tried to find words for what he wanted to say. Wally turned slightly and looked at Robin as he mirrored the action both of them then looking at Roy, he was actually speechless.

"They care about each other cant you guys just except that?", everyone turned to look at Artemis as she hugged her knees to her chest.

"But she is a criminal", Connor pointed out, M'gann elbowing him gently.

"Was.", they all looked up as Jade entered the training room. Roy was on his feet in a matter of seconds but stopped him self from going to her as she slowly made her way to the rest of them.

"Chesh", he said her nickname softly as she came to his side and offered a small smile.

"Its alright hero we had to face this music sometime", she looked to the others, a few of them looked away others paid full attention. Wally leaned his head back and whispered something to Robin who nodded, the speedster vanished but then reappeared. He handed a bag of barbecue chips to Robin while he dug into a box of little Debbie oatmeal pies.

"How did the league respond to this?", Kaldur asked as he leaned back on his hands.

"Well I got grounded and she is under mountain arrest till Batman deems her non threatening.", Roy sat back down and Jade carefully sat down beside him. Wally raised his hand slowly as he finished his third pie, and Roy shook his head.

"What?".

"How did it start?", Robin elbowed Wally, who chuckled.

"Well welcome to the mountain", M'gann offered and Jade looked to her sister who smiled. Though she was sure they would all be still a little suspicious of her, there was currently hope. And she had a place to stay safe while the Shadows no doubt ripped her apartment and hide outs apart in search of her, she was safe.

"Thanks".

…...

Batman rested back in his chair as he watched the teens in the training room on the main computer screen. The team was on hiatus until further notice due to the issues with the Shadows and the Joker.

"You alright?", he turned slightly to see Superman enter the room.

"I will be much better when this has all ended", he sighed.

"It will never be over Bats", the two friends turned to see Flash as he entered snacking on a pop tart.

"Word on the Shadows?", Batman got straight to business.

"Cheshire is top of their list for shoot to kill, and Roy's apartment was ran sacked last night", he finished his snack and looked to Superman.

"How's Connor doing with you big guy?", he smiled and nodded.

"He is doing very well, his temper can still be a bit much but he is working on it", Batman turned back towards the screen.

"Can we focus on the task at hand?', the other two turned their attention back to the screen as they watched the teens all interacting and laughing.

"Until the Joker is brought down we cant allow them to leave, the kids can handle them selves but we cant allow what happened to….", Flash trailed off as the dark knight looked back at him.

"We cant allow it to happen to anyone", he nodded and the speedster and Superman looked to one another.
