The cave was quite full after the mission. After the incident with Gamma Squad, everyone had come back to the team's headquarters to trade notes and figure out what exactly had happened. By now, most of the Justice League had already left, leaving Flash, Batman, Black Canary, Red Tornado, Superman, and the team left. They were still discussing the mission, the younger members excited to recount probably their most exciting mission to date.

"… and then Robin told us to grab as many abductees as we could and to lead the rest out of the cave, but we were like only half way there when BLAM, the explosion hit, and it was totally loco. The explosion just pushed us the rest of the way up, "Jaime described. He left out the part where the beetle almost made him turn around to take out the 'threat', but he thought it was for the best.

"Quite impressive," said Red Tornado who was over by the holographic screen with Mal, looking over some data from the mission, "Sounds like Gamma Squad performed admirably."

"Well with a Robin leading the team, "Nightwing added with a smirk, "How could it not?"

Everyone laughed at that. "I have to admit chum, I didn't like the idea of having to follow orders from a guppy like you, but you were pretty good," La'gaan admitted from where he and M'gann were currently standing.

Robin flushed at the compliment, "I'm not that young."

"Riiight, you only think that cause you're in the Batman mindset that 10 is the perfect age to fight crime." Flash joked with a grin.

Superman laughed and added, "Very true, I would not be surprised if Robin number four would need bat-diapers."

Everyone cracked up. Although Batman did not seem amused, Tim and Dick could tell by his stance that he found it slightly entertaining and therefore felt no guilt in laughing along. The only one who didn't laugh was a confused Garfield.

"But wouldn't it be Robin number three? Cause Robin is number two, right?" He asked his fingers out as he counted the simple math.

The league and the original team, including Batgirl, all stopped their laughter. The rest of the team got the drift and slowly stopped as well. An awkward silence now hung in the air.

Eyes began to drift to the Bats who all seemed to be having strange reactions to the comment. Batman looked as he always did, emotionless. Only a few noticed his clenched fists by his side. Robin also was clenching his fists, but his face clearly showed the embarrassment and frustration he was feeling. Batgirl just looked worried, glancing at Nightwing who held a look of sorrow and regret.

Garfield's soft voice broke the silence, "Did I saw something wrong?"

With that, as if out of a trance, Batman turned to the Zeta Tubes. "Robin we have patrol." Robin quickly shook his head and ran after his mentor. Both disappeared without another word.

Everyone then turned to Nightwing, who slowly moved towards the small green boy. Nightwing gently placed his hand on Beast Boy's head. "No you're right Gar," his voice was so soft and gentle, if it weren't for the unbearable silence it might've been lost in other sounds, "The other Robin just didn't make it long enough to join the team, so you never got to meet him." And with that Nightwing gave their youngest teammate a sad smile that didn't fit with his usual grin, and began to walk out of the room.

Batgirl glanced at the retreating form of her friend and then back at the others before apologizing and running after him.

That was when Superman decided to let the new members of the team in on an unsaid code followed by everyone. Avoid mentioning Robin number two.

Hey everyone!

Just some of my thoughts on this story: I always thought that some of the older members knew of Jason, maybe not directly, but the newbies have no idea. I don't think it's something people like to bring up.

Oh and if anyone has any ideas for a story that is Dick-centric (or dick-related, you can see here that dick has only a small part) just post it in a review or message me it and if I get inspired by it, I'll write something from it.

Thanks!
