Alyss's P_O_V

I was extremely surprised when I saw the room I would be moving into; it was so me, the wall's were painted black, with red roses everywhere, the bed had a black down comforter on it. there was a desk in the far corner that had a laptop and a stereo on it, and beside it was a book filled with my favorite books. there was another shelve with my favorite CD's on it, and in another corner of the room a rocking chair.

"um" I said, turning to Wally and Artemis, who stood at the doorway behind me. they were both smiling at me and I couldn't help but smiled back at them as I asked them a question. "from the look of this room, the two of you knew I would be moving in."

"we didn't know," Artemis told me, then she moved forward and wrapped her arms around me, making me feel safe, wanted and secure, "but we hoped, your family Alyss, and we've loved you since the moment we met you, as far as I'm concerned, your my daughter."

"thank you, both of you." I said as I looked from one to the other, "I love you both, and I'm so glad that I can call you my parents."

"hey angel," uncle Berry said as he zoomed into the room, he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me to his chest, I hugged him back, smiling at the nickname that was the exact opposite of me, "it's about time you moved in with these two, I've wanted to finally be able to call you my niece, but I had to wait until you truly joined the family."

"thanks Uncle Berry," I said, and then I looked over his shoulder at Dad and I smiled at him, a smile that he knew and returned, and as soon as my Uncle started to release me, I jumped him and pinned him to the floor as Dad and I started tickling him. the laughing seemed to have woke the boys, and they came running into the room, as soon as they saw Berry on the floor, they smiled and joined us, but the quickly sided with Uncle Barry. James attacked me, and Allen attacked Dad, soon all of us were on the ground laughing.

"alright, break if up before you wake up Iris," Mom ordered, and we all instantly stopped laughing as we turned to Mom, she still stood in the door way, hands on her hips as she gave us all disapproving looks, but then she smiled and turned her attention towards the boys. "James, Allen, you two should be in bed, say good night to your Father and Uncle, and get going."

the boys were only two, but they had already learned that you don't disobey Mom, and so the quickly kissed both Dad and Uncle Berry and took off back to their room, then the three adults and myself went downstairs and to the kitchen, where we got cups of coffee for the adults, and a cup of hot coco for myself.

"so Alyss," my Uncle said, and we all turned to him in time to see him wagging his eye brows at me, "what do you think of Will?"

"Uncle." I said as I blushed a deep crimson, and my Uncle laughed while my mom and dad both looked at me in confusion, before seeing my room, I had explained everything, from putting Will in the coma to waking the three men up in the Tower. I had not however, told them that Will was extremely hot and that I found him attractive, I had hoped my Uncle wouldn't notice, but unfortunately it seemed that he had.

"Alyss," my father said with a raised eyebrow, "is this the same Will you told us about? Batman's little brother?"

"Yes." I told them, knowing that I couldn't go wrong with one word answers.

"are you going to ans..." my Uncle was cut off as Dad's phone began to ring, it was the one that only the members of his old team had the number too, and they only called if there was an emergency.

"hello?" Dad said as he quickly answered the phone, "Conner, what's wrong?...what?...no, we're on our way." Dad hung up the phone and turned to us, I could see the worry in his eyes. "Alyss, Uncle, can you two watch the children, Artemis and I are needed."

"of course we can watch them, but you two be careful." I said, and my Uncle nodded in agreement.

"we will be." Artemis said, and with that they left the room, and disappeared out the door.

Wally's POV.

Artemis climbed onto my back and I took off the where the team always met when there was trouble, the rock on the beach of Gotham. Kaldur and Megan were the only one's there when we arrived. Kaldur was leaning up against the rock and glaring at Megan, who was levitating rocks over his head to entertain herself. they both looked up when Artemis and I arrived. I simply nodded and Arty did nothing, then we all sat to wait for Dick and Conner, they soon arrived and I was surprised when Dick's eye's rested on me before going to Conner, who nodded, and the two of them seemed to have a Private conversation, then they turned back to the four of us.

"I think it's time we get the team back together." Dick said, and I opened my mouth to yell at him, but before I could speak, he held up a hand to stop me. "more and more villains have been showing up and the League can't take care of all of them, but we managed to do so much when we were a team, if we became a team again, we could start doing what we used to, we could go undercover and infiltrate the villains groups, we were a good team once, and we can be one again."

"your the one that broke up the team Dick." I told him, and I let my scorn and anger show in my voice. "or have you forgotten that?"

"I remember Wally," Dick told me, and I could tell that he was pissed at me, although why, I didn't know. "I remember how when I needed your help, only Conner would help. I remember how you all lied to me, and then went on a mission and lied to Conner to make him go along with you, I remember how on my Fifteenth birthday only Conner remembered, you all made me feel alone, it was as if I had done something to make you mad, and I had no idea what it was. I left because it felt like no one but Conner wanted me there, you didn't have to break up the team."

Dick was quit as he spoke, but I could hear the pain and anger in his voice as he spoke, and I suddenly realised that he still didn't know why we had lied to him, why we had gone on a mission without him, and why we hadn't been at his birthday party, and I suddenly needed to explain.

"Richard, we didn't help because we thought you were simply having those weird feelings of misgiving that you usually had after a troubled sleep, we apologized and tried to make it up to you." I explained, and I let my own emotions show in my voice, and on my face "we lied because we didn't want to cause you pain, the mission we went on was to stop Tony Zucco. by that time we knew about your past and we knew that the mission would cause you to remember your parents and cause you pain, so we decided to lie to you and leave you out of the mission. we didn't go to your Birthday because we were attacked by Zucco's men, and since Conner had already gotten you a birthday present, and had decided not to go shopping for you, we didn't have him with us so it took longer to get away. by the time we arrived you and Conner had already left. we didn't mean to make you feel unwanted Dick, you were family, and we loved you and would protect you from anything. but when you left we didn't know how you felt, we thought you had just decided you were to good for us. if I had known, I wouldn't have been mad at you, and we might still be a family."

at the end, my voice was quit and I let my sorriness show in my voice as I looked at Dick, looking around I saw all of the other's nodding in agreement. and then I looked back at Dick.

"I for one agree with Dick, we should reform the team, after all. we were once a family. and the League needs us." I said, and then I looked around at the others. "what about all of you?"

"we agree." they all said, and then Kaldur raised his hand. and we all turned our eyes to him.

"we haven't seen eachother in four years, we know nothing about eachother anymore. and we are going to be a team once again, we should probably remedy that." Kaldur said, and we all had to admit that he had a point.

"let's go to mount justice and we can talk there." Dick said.

"Dick." I said, and he looked at me questionably. "no one had been in the mountain in almost four years, so it might not be that nice of a place to talk."

"that's fine, if we are going to be a team, we will need our old headquarters back, so what better place to talk than the place it all started for us?" and once again we all agreed, so we set out for mount Justice, arriving there in little under ten minutes thanks to a zeta-tube not far from the beach.

the mountain was coated in dust, and it was hard to breath. but Conner went over to the computer and typed in a code and almost instantly there was a sudden 'Boom' and the mountain was clean. the mountain was still the exact same as the last time I had been here. no one in the League had been down here since the team broke up, since a year before that day the League had given the Mountain to our team, making it so the entire Mountain belonged to the six of us. we moved to the kitchen and finding some coffee beans and a maker, we made coffee before sitting at the table.

"so," I began, all eyes turned to me. "are we just going to take turns telling everyone about everything that has happened to us in the past four years? or what are we doing?"

"we are just going to tell everything that has happened." Kaldur said, "and I for one would like to swear right now that I will tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth and every little thing that has happened in the past four years, if we want to be a team again, we have to trust each-other with everything, no more secret's, no more lying, and no more holding out. when we kept Dick from that mission, we had thought we had been doing it you his own good, but now I see that we need to let each-other decide when they are to unstable to go on a mission. any objections?"

"no," we all said as one, and then as one we all swore, "I swear to tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth and every little thing that has happened in the past four years."

"who want's to go first?" I asked joyfully, easily reverting back to my old ways and how I used to act around the team.

"it was my idea to get the team back together, so I will go first." Dick said, and he began telling us about his life for the last four years.
