I own nothing * except * (deeeeeeep breath) Coraline Osei, Jason Holmes, BlackHawk, Terrence Prince, Wraith, Apollo, Blaine McGuyver, and Sparrow. (GAAAASP) Good gosh, I hate disclaimers.

OKAY!

Due to popular demand, THE TEAM IS MEETING THE BATCLAN! YAY!

But, they're meeting them at Thanksgiving dinner with the Justice League.

THIS IS PART 1!

Dick looked up at Bruce from behind fluffy black bangs, his blue eyes sparkling.

"No," the billionaire said as he turned to go to the kitchen-

But Blaine was suddenly behind him. Bruce mentally swore. Why did I teach them that?

Her blonde hair was pulled back tightly, but bangs hung next to her onyx eyes and black lips. "Please, Bwuce?"

"It's Bruce, and no."

He walked around her, but a sudden jerk on his sleeve brought him to face Terrence. The dark-skinned boy had his lips in a deep pout, his green-brown eyes twinkling. "Pleeeeeease, Bruce?"

Trying not to yell, Bruce said tersely, "No."

Then, Alfred was at his side. "Master Bruce, I think it prudent that, since two of the young heroes already know, that it would be a reasonable request to let them all know."

Dick looked over at Blaine with mischievous eyes. She quickly elbowed him in the ribs, earning an 'ooph!' from the Boy Wonder. Bruce turned around quickly, then let his eyes narrow. "You told someone else, too?" His face was getting red, and a purple vein beneath his widow's peak was popping out. "Who?"

Blaine shuffled her feet. "Artemis..."

Bruce's fists clenched and popped, and he rotated his neck. "So now the only ones that do not know are M'gann and Connor. Excellent."

Pause.

"So can we tell them?"

…

M'gann squealed as she flew around the cave, hanging up orange and brown streamers. Connor followed after her, itching in his dress shirt and black slacks. "Do I have to wear this?" he whined to Black Canary, who was wearing a tight bandage dress. She pursed blood-red lips and said, "Yes," sharply.

M'gann landed back down, her white, knee-high dress fluttering in the back-draft. It had an orange sash on the waist, with a brown flower and green accents. Clapping her hands together, the Martian girl squealed. "Oh, I'm so excited! We have something much like 'Thanksgiving' on Mars! Only, we call it 'The Date of Gracing'."

Connor nodded slowly, adding those notes to his mental files.

There came footsteps, and the three turned to see Kaldur'ahm and King Corin approaching. Arthur was wearing a gold breastplate over his normal orange shirt, but instead of green pants, he wore gold. Kaldur had on a similar attire, only with silver instead of gold.

Kaldur took a step back when M'gann attacked him with a hug. "Kaldur! You look great!" Blushing, the green-skinned girl took a step back and curtsied to Arthur. "You look good, too, King Corin."

He smiled gently, nodding. "Thank you, M'gann. Where is your uncle?"

As if on cue, the Martian Manhunter stepped in. He had changed his normal attire to a simple brown suit. (Most likely for M'gann.) "Hello, Corin."

"J'onn."

The two nodded respectfully to each other, then engaged Dinah in small-talk.

The next to arrive were Artemis (wearing brown pants and a green blouse) and Oliver (who wore a black suit). Dinah rolled her eyes as her boyfriend took her arm. "You should probably dress-down, next time, Ollie." The man just flashed his killer smile.

Superman came in next. At first, he had been reluctant to come, as it was a Thanksgiving party for the mentors and proteges- but Dinah had threatened to shove a piece of Kryptonite up his- eh... Never mind... He was wearing the same navy, pin-striped suit and Harry Potter glasses, his curl sticking to his forehead as if he had super-glued it there (which he probably had).

Dinah smiled and sauntered over. "Clark!" she taunted, throwing an arm over his shoulders. "What a surprise!"

He flashed a faux smile. "Glad to be here, Dinah."

There was a loud whoosh and then, low and behold, there stood Barry and Wally. The blonde had on dress clothes, looking very sharp and cheerful. Wally, on the other hand, was pulling at his tie, making a chocking face. Artemis grinned, then gave a sudden frown. "Oh, darn! He was just kidding..."

Wally stuck his tongue out at her.

Barry clapped his hands together, rubbing them at super-speed. "Alrighty! I'm starved, so let's cut the turkey-"

"Batman is not here, yet," Arthur offered as he crossed over, a large glass of water in hand.

Clark's eyebrows furrowed. "That's odd. He's usually the first to these-"

"Batman- 02... Robin- B01... Sparrow- B08..."

They all turned towards the entrance expectantly, but then-

"BlackHawk- X01... Apollo- X03... Batgirl- X02... Guest 0010121."

Wally's face lit up, as did Barry's. They were excited to be able to see the rest of the Bat-Clan again-

In wheeled a teen of African descent. Yes, wheeled. He was in a metal wheel-chair, his legs (clothed in black slacks) firmly strapped to the rests. He wore a white dress-shirt and a smile, his twinkling green-brown eyes showing excitement. His hair was shaved down, little 'carvings' above either of his ears. He waved.

Then, in came two others- a red-headed girl, who was walking extremely stiffly- wearing a pink, ruffly dress. She had on subtle make-up that made her brown eyes look extravagant. The male next to her was older, older than Kaldur, and had a raggedy mop of brown hair that fell over crystal clear eyes. On his arm hung a dark-skinned young woman in an ankle-length purple dress, her dreadlocks coming to her chin, with shiny beads on the ends. Wally's face lit up, and he ran over to the male, hugging his middle tightly.

"JASON!"

Jason was put off-course a bit, but caught himself easily. The red-head pulled away the girl who was on his arm, leading her inwards.

Then, Dick came in, his black hair in a 'fancy' array called 'bed-of-the-head'. He wore a white dress-shirt, brown vest, black skinny jeans, and white Converse. Blaine, her hair pulled into a high, tight bun, came in next to him. Her nails were still electric blue, and her lips still black, but she now wore a white, short, ruffled dress with black stitching.

Finally, there came in a tall, broad-shouldered man with black, slick-backed hair. His eyes were a frightening black-navy, cold and uninviting. His whole attire showed off his wealth- a silver, diamond-studded wristwatch, classy leather shoes, and his fine silk suit.

The mentors just stood there, mouths open. (Except for Barry, who was embracing Jason fiercely while the younger man stood there awkwardly, patting Barry's back.)

Bruce Glared at them. "What?"

Dinah shook her head and approached, kissing Bruce's cheek lightly. "Bruce, we didn't know you were going to come- eh- so... casually?"

M'gann let out a gasp and flew forward. "Oh my glob! You're Bruce Wayne!"

His eyes narrowed, and he shot Blaine and Dick the 'When-we-get-back-to-the-Manor-I'm-going-to-murder-you-in-your-sleep-for-doing-this-to-me' look.

Dick, seeing the leftover confused glances, gave out his signature cackle.

"ROBIN?"

Blaine groaned, rolling her eyes, and took a step forward. "Let me introduce to you our family."

Dick suddenly jumped in front of her. "Hello, good citizens! My name is Richard Grayson, but I go by Dick. This is Blaine McGuyver-" She slapped his head and turned back to the Team.

"This is Terrence Prince-Wayne," she spoke, putting a hand on Terrence's shoulder. "Jason Holmes-Wayne." Jason gave a 'I'm-hot-and-you-know-it' smirk, holding lightly onto Coraline's waist. "This is his fiance, Coraline Osei-"

"FIANCE?" screamed half of the mentors. Oliver just chuckled and winked at Jason, who was blushing.

Coraline withdrew at the loud noises, a look of fear on her face. Jason held her closer and whispered to her as Dick darted over to the red-head. "And this is Barbara Gordon-Wayne. She got shot a few weeks ago!"

Barbara frowned at him. "And what does that have to do with this conversation?"

Looking down at his feet, Dick mumbled, "It's true..."

Bruce rolled his eyes and glared at Wally, Artemis, and Kaldur. "It has come to my recognition that my children went beyond my orders and have told three certain teammates their identities. So, due to-"

"Puppy-dog eyes and Alfred."

Bruce smacked Dick's head. "I have decided to simply tell you all our identities. Simpler." His glare suddenly hardened ten-fold, making all of the proteges want to wet their pants. "But if any of you tell anyone, I will rip out your inner intestines and shove them in your-"

"BRUCE!" came the screams of all of his children.

The billionaire pulled away, still scowling. Dick looked to the Team. "Just don't tell anyone."

They all nodded slowly, their eyes wide with fear.

The mentors were simply laughing.

Artemis voiced, "So, who's who?"

Jason stepped forward. "BlackHawk."

Barbara pointed to Terrence and said, "Apollo," then to herself "Batgirl."

Bruce growled at his children when they looked at him. "Obviously, I am Batman."

Dick cackled and grabbed Blaine's arm, then pulled Wally over. He looked up at Bruce and said, "I'm starved! Are we gonna e-"

"Red Arrow- B03..."

"Thank you!"

Barbara's face turned red. "Roy?"

In walked the archer in a button-down red shirt, dark jeans, and black dress shoes. His blue eyes caught sight of Barbara, and he smiled. "Hey, guys. Came to see the BatClan. It's been a while."

"ROOOOY!"

Roy found himself on the floor, Blaine, Wally, and Dick all hugging him tightly. His face got hot as the air rushed out of him. Blue eyes searched for help. "J-Jason... H-Help m-m-m-me!"

With either hand, Jason pulled Blaine and Dick up by the scruffs of their clothes. Barry zoomed over and pulled Wally up, too.

Barbara pulled Roy up and smiled, helping him straighten out his shirt. "So, Speedy, how's it going?"

He eyed her. "Goin' great, Babby-Boo."

Her face turned scarlet. "Touche."

Barry suddenly shouted, "So are we gonna eat or what?"

…

Dessert found Wally, M'gann, Connor, Kaldur, and Artemis sitting at the bar, all eating Pumpkin pie (my favorite!). Artemis would have been gazing dreamily at Jason, if Wally wasn't holding her hand in a python grip the whole time. She rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek. He returned the favor.

M'gann was smiling broadly, still excited about meeting Sparrow and Robin and their family- for real.

Connor was indifferent. Obviously.

Kaldur couldn't pry his eyes off of Blaine. She was standing in the corner, talking to Dinah and Barbara. Blaine said something, and the two older females died laughing, while Blaine's face turned a deep flamingo pink. She slapped Barbara's arm, and the red-head tried to stifle her laughter, to no success.

"What do you think about them?"

Kaldur snapped out of his daze and turned to M'gann, whose topaz eyes were watching him curiously. "What do you think about them?" she repeated.

Wally waggled his eyebrows. "What do you think about Blaine?"

Kaldur felt his neck get hot, and he turned to his pie. "They are all very nice. I suppose that goes with growing up in a proper household, though."

Artemis snorted her milk, and Wally laughed. He was silenced by her palm.

"They weren't always living in a happy house-hold," the archeress told Kaldur.

At everyone's (minus Wally) curious gazes, Artemis sighed heavily. "You've never seen any tabloids or newspapers or TV shows about their lives?"

They all shook their heads.

"Can you tell us?" Connor inquired.

After exchanging a glance with Wally, Artemis turned back, biting her lip and shaking her head back and forth. "Those are their stories to tell."

…

"Is he looking at me?" Blaine asked, twirling her hair around her finger as she stood next to Dinah and Barbara. The latter shot a quick glance over her little sister's shoulder.

"Who?"

Blaine rolled her eyes. "Kaldur'ahm."

Dinah chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest, leaning onto the rock wall. "So, you've got it sweet for Aqualad?"

Blaine's whole face turned a shade darker. "N-No! I just- I mean- I-"

"He's looking at you," Barbara hissed.

Blaine visibly jumped and her body went rigid as her eyes got wide. Dinah and Barbara died laughing, slapping their knees and wiping tears from their eyes.

"Priceless," Dinah spoke after she caught her breath.

"Shut up..."

…

"When is the wedding?" J'onn asked as he turned to Jason in his seat. Coraline still hung on Jason's arm, but she had warmed up impeccably to the others- especially King Corin. He and Coraline had much in common, their attitudes and such, and had seemed to bond.

Clark looked up at the question, eying the boy- no. Man. Jason was a man now, and it shocked all of them.

Bruce sat across from Jason, and he, too, looked over at the question. The so-called BatClan had talked about the wedding and such, but no actual preparations had been made. They had set a month, though.

"April," Coraline answered, hugging Jason's bicep. "So that we can have flowers... I love the smell."

Barry smiled at this, pausing in between the bites of his fifteenth piece of Pecan pie. Coraline, herself, seemed to be a flower. She was shy at first, but she had been getting braver around the others. Soon enough, she would be a part of the family, just as Sparrow and Robin had forced themselves into the family almost six years ago.

Jason kissed Coraline's forehead and spoke softly into her ear. Whatever it was made her giggle and blush- so no one asked.

"Bruce," came Oliver's voice. The billionaire looked up. "How do you feel about party games?"

"Do it and you die."

"Oh, I'm gonna do it..."

…

Roy stood off to the side of the Mountain, Dick next to him. The older took a swift swig of cider, while Dick sipped on soda. "So..."

"Why'd you leave?"

It was so blunt, so... Unexpected.

"You know why. I was tired of the League babysitting us-"

Dick turned, his blue eyes showing anger and hurt. "I don't mean that... Why'd you stop coming around after Barbara left? You still had me and Blaine. And Terrence, too."

Roy bit his lip and looked away. When Barbara and he had broken up so that she could go to college, he had stopped hanging around with Dick and Blaine as much. It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was just... Different. Too different. So, he stayed away. He saw them on patrol and such, but only a few weeks later, Blaine had gone to Russia for recon. Then, Roy saw Dick even less. Sure, Speedy saw Robin, but it just wasn't the same.

"It was different."

Dick's eyes hardened. "How, Roy? How was it different?"

The archer grit his teeth. "It just was, Dick. Okay?" he snapped.

There was a deafening silence, then, "I'm gonna go find Blaine. See 'ya later, Speedy."

…

Oliver stood up, ignoring Bruce's attempts to strangle him. "ALRIGHT!" he shouted, drawing everyone's attention. "It's time for a Justice League Thanksgiving tradition!... KARAOKE!"

Oh, gosh, Ollie... Bruce is gonna kill you...

YAAY!

Okay, I am going to take song requests: choose a person and a song to go with that person that you want to read. TITANS GO! (oh, wait. wrong cartoon... tee hee hee...)

My clock says: 11:28, because you totally wanted to know that.
