Robin groaned as he opened his eyes, but he saw nothing but black. He pulled on his arms but found them strapped down to the arms of the chair. There was a strap around his chest and legs as well, keeping him in place.

"Where am I…?" he shouted. "Why can't I see anything?"

"We have no clue," Beast Boy sighed.

"We have on collars and blindfolds, this is just great," Raven sighed.

"Yo! Let us go you freak!" Cyborg shouted.

"I'd watch what you say if I were you," A voice warned.

"Who are you? And why did you call us out for a fight if you were just going to run?" Robin asked harshly.

"We did no such thing," A deeper voice answered.

"Then who are you and why have you put collars on us?" Starfire asked.

"They're inhibitor collars, designed to neutralize your powers," the voice answered again.

"Great, we've been captured, and now we can't even use our powers," Raven sighed. "It's Mad Mod all over again."

"It better not be!" Cyborg protested.

"Hey, you're not going to hypnotize us and send us to high school, are you?" Beast Boy asked. "We've sort of been there and done that. Wasn't fun especially since the classrooms were trying to kill us!"

"Batman, I don't think they're clones," Superman told him.

"Neither do I," Batman agreed.

"Well then, what are they? A team of young superheroes?" Green Arrow asked. "I mean, that kid could just idolize Robin."

"But still, he looks like him," Batman growled, glaring at the figures trapped inside the room. "And I bet if we put him through a training exercise he would probably react like Robin does as well."

"Well then, what are we supposed to do? Break them until they talk?" Superman suggested.

"They don't see anything wrong with what they're doing, they even accused us of challenging them to a fight," Green Arrow pointed out.

"Get Martian Manhunter to go through their memories, see how far back they go," Batman ordered.

"Right, I'll go find him," Green Arrow nodded.

"I have sifted through their memories," J'onn told them, exiting the room with the prisoners.

"And?" Superman asked.

"They are like us," J'onn answered. "They are a team, and have battled many evils, including a Deathstroke of their own, but he goes by the name of Slade. They have overcome many tasks. They are undoubtedly good."

"What about him?" Batman asked, looking at the boy in the Robin costume.

"You were there," J'onn answered. "He was trained by you, a different you."

"What do you mean?" Superman asked.

"Fate must have brought them here from an alternate dimension," Dr. Fate answered, entering the room. "I do not know what fate has in store for them, but they are here, and they can't leave until they've finished whatever task they have to complete."

"So what now?" Green Arrow asked.

"Okay, so wait, these guys are from an alternate dimension?" Artemis asked in shock, looking at the five teens. She looked back at Batman, who nodded.

"Apparently," Cyborg answered. "What's up? I'm Cyborg!"

"I'm Beast Boy!" The green skinned teenager smiled. "Are you a changeling too?" He smiled, looking M'gann up and down.

"No, she isn't," Conner growled, pulling her back.

"I'm a Martian," the alien smiled. "My name is M'gann M'orzz." Starfire gasped and floated over to her in excitement.

"I am Starfire of Tamaran!" She giggled, bouncing in place.

"I've never met a Tamaranean before," M'gann gasped.

"And I have never met a Martian before either! Is it true that your kind communicates telepathically?" Starfire asked.

"Yeah we do," M'gann nodded, clasping her hands together in happiness. "Do your powers really stem from emotions?"

"Oh yes they do. Flight is unbridled joy, strength is boundless confidence, and my starbolts are righteous fury!" Starfire smiled.

"Great, there's two of her now," Raven huffed.

"Dude, way to bring on the gloom and doom, Raven," Beast Boy huffed, crossing his arms.

"I will leave them in your care while the League figures out a way to send them back to their dimension," Batman told them.

"We will keep them safe and make them feel at home," Kaldur assured him. Batman nodded and swiftly exited through the zeta-tube. "Greetings, I'm Aqualad. That is Superboy."

"Nice to meet you," Robin nodded, shaking the Atlantean's hand. "Are you Atlantean?"

"Yes, I am," Kaldur nodded.

"We know an Atlantean Aqualad of our own back home, but he doesn't have webbed hands, or gills. Nor does he have tattoos," Robin told them.

"What is his name?" Kaldur asked.

"He told me it was Garth," Beast Boy answered.

"Garth is my friend," Kaldur smiled. "In this dimension, he stayed in Atlantis and denied becoming the king's apprentice. I took the position of Aqualad. I guess in your universe the roles are switched."

"That's so cool," Beast Boy smiled. "Wait, if Batman's here, then…where's the Robin of this universe?"

"He's probably screwing around with Baywatch," Artemis shrugged. "They're probably getting into trouble for something, or in the worst case, breaking a few laws. They'll be here soon enough. I'm Artemis."

"WAit did you just say-?"

"M'gann, were you cooking again?" Superboy asked, sniffing the air. He cut off Robin's question.

"My pancakes!" The Martian gasped, flying out of the room.

"Anyone want me to call Robin and get him to make breakfast?" Artemis asked, holding up her cell phone.

"No need, I can cook," Cyborg assured them.

"Hey, got any tofu?" Beast Boy asked, as they walked towards the kitchen.

"No sorry," M'gann shook her head. "Artemis, can you call Robin and ask him to pick some up on his way to the cave?"

"Why do I have to do it?" Artemis asked.

"Umm…because you're the only person besides Wally who has his phone number," M'gann answered. "And Wally is with Robin. They're having a sleep over, remember?"

"This is true," Artemis muttered in agreement, taking out her phone. "I'll send him a text."
