So, I hope you guys liked my last chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice.


Tim POV

I walked through the door of Wayne Manor, biting my lip. The others left the mountain the same time as I left, all of us not happy to go back either. After all, we were all lied to. And being forced to live with the people who lied to us, having to see them everyday, was something none of us wanted to do.

For Roy, it was probably worse. He's been having fights with Ollie recently, and him lying to Roy didn't help. "Tt. Why did you leave this morning, Timothy?" Damian asked as I walked towards Dick's room.

"Why should I tell you?" I asked, continuing to walk.

It might have been wrong to treat him like an enemy, like I did when I was a 10 just coming here, but ever since Dick told me he knew that Dad was going to lie to me, I didn't know if Jason and Damian knew either. And until I did know for certain, they were guilty until proven innocent in my mind.

Damian made an irritated noise, glaring at me. "Just because Father lied to you does not mean you have to take your idiotic feelings out on the rest of us." Damian said, making my eyebrow twitch.

"Then your saying you weren't planning with Dad to make me think the Hall of Justice was the real HQ?" I asked, turning to face him.

Damian didn't answer, glaring at me. For anyone else this would have mean that they were accused of something they didn't do. For Damian, it meant he really did do it. "That's what I thought. Was Jason in on it, too?" I asked, glaring at him.

"Tt. No. We knew Todd would tell you, though we never thought Harper would be the one to point out the lie." Damian said, minor relief flooding into me when he said Jason wasn't apart of it. At least someone in this house hadn't lied to me.

"Your an asshole. All 3 of you." I muttered, walking towards Dick's room again. My only relief, Damian didn't follow.

"I hope Dick isn't in there." I muttered, walking into his room silently as possible.

Luck seemed to be on my side today, because he wasn't in his room. In fact, I'm not sure if he was even in the Manor.

I frowned as I searched his room, careful to not leave behind a sign that I was here. The last thing I needed was a suspicious Dick.

I looked through the drawers, his closet, even under his bed. While I did find some... interesting magazines, a lot of chick flick movies under his bed, and a Jesse McCartney CD, there was no Red X costume. "Where did he put it? I know he kept it in his room, I would have seen it in the Batcave." I muttered, looking around his room.

I looked at his mattress, noticing a piece of black fabric sticking out. Did he seriously stuff it under his mattress? I lifted the mattress up, blinking when I saw the costume with it's skull mask underneath.

"Great hiding place, Golden Boy." I mocked, grabbing the costume and setting the bed back down.

"Time to get out of here." I muttered to myself, walking to my room quickly while dodging the cameras inside the Manor. Dad put cameras in everyone room and hallway, for paranoid reasons. Why he kept them when we all knew how to not be seen by them was beyond me.

When I made it to my room, I picked up my computer and sent a virus to the camera in my room. It wasn't a virus to make the camera black out like I would usually use, that would make Dad too suspicious. No, I used a virus that changed the video into staying the same as it was now. All Dad would see now if he looked at the footage was me on my laptop.

"Dick mentioned that this suit runs on chemical Xenothium. But finding it... that wouldn't be easy. Especially trying to get it legally, though, that may be impossible." I muttered, staring down at the suit.

I picked up the belt, the containers that held the chemical empty. At least Dick wasn't stupid enough to keep it in, though it would have made things easier. I picked up the right glove of the costume, inspecting it.

When Dick was Robin, he had a computer in his glove like my Red Robin one. But this time, there was no computer. I would have to change that. "Looks like this thing needs work done. Hopefully the voice changer in the mask still works." I muttered to myself, jumping from shock when someone knocked on my door.

I shoved it into my closet, closing it just in time so that Dad didn't see it when he stepped in. "I didn't say you could come in." I said, glaring at him.

"My house, I don't have to. Tim, I understand your mad at me for what happened at the Hall, but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on your brothers." Dad said, getting straight to the point.

"Dad, they were in on it, why shouldn't I? The only one who didn't know about this is Jason." I said, walking to my bed and settling my laptop in my lap.

I got rid of the virus, just in case Oracle tried to look for us. If she knew that Bruce was here,and she looked in on the camera in my room to spy on our conversation, she would know I planted a virus. That would bring up too many questions, and it wouldn't surprise me if she did spy on us.

"I don't want to hear this. What you did hurt, I thought you guys weren't like Ra's. I thought you guys wouldn't lie to me! Now... now I don't want to deal with you." I said, looking away from his slight grimace.

"Tim, what we did was only to protect you. You weren't ready to be apart of the League, and this only proves it." Dad said, leaving as I slid my eyes shut. Asshole.

I swallowed, keeping myself from running out of here and yelling at Dad like I wanted to.

As if to make things worse, my phone started ringing I'm a Hex Girl. Steph's ringtone she chose for my phone. "What do you want, Steph?" I asked.

"Somebody's in a bad mood. And I'm calling because you haven't talked to me in two days, and Barbara mentioned that you were upset about something. She asked me to get you to calm down. What's wrong? Do I have to kick somebody's ass?" Steph asked, making me smile slightly despite knowing that Barbara did look in on the argument that just happened in my room.

"Sure. Can you kick my Dad, Dick, Damian, and the whole League's ass? Because that would be wonderful." I said bitterly.

"I knew the League was bad news. What did those shitheads do?" Steph asked, the anger rising in her voice slightly.

"They told us that we were going to be in the League. Not right away of course, but we would get the first step, a tour of their HQ. Instead of showing us their real HQ, they showed us the one they told the public about. Dick and Damian knew about it, and... they let Dad lie to me. I thought I could trust them." I said, anger and bitterness in my voice.

"Tim... I'm sorry. I never thought your dad would do anything like that, and especially not Dick. I thought... I thought they were better than this. What did they say when you found out?" Steph asked, her voice breaking.

Stephanie didn't trust too many people, especially not dad's. But, my Dad was someone she thought she could trust, someone she thought she could count on. And, this hurt her just as much as this hurt me.

"They said we weren't ready, and how could they possibly know if they never gave us a chance? It hurts though. That he would rather lie than just say the truth to my face." I said, laying down on my bed.

"Yeah, I know. Do you want me to come over?" Steph asked.

I bit my lip, breathing a sigh out through my nose. Yeah, having Steph over would be amazing right. But... the Manor was turning into chaos. I didn't want her in the middle of it. "Not right now. Maybe later when the Manor doesn't feel like everything's going to hell." I said, staring at the ceiling.

"Alright. I have to go, my mom has lunch ready. And Tim, if you need to just get away... I'd be happy to let you crash here for a few days." Steph said, her voice depressed as she hung up. I set my phone down limply, feeling worse than before. I could only imagine how bad it was getting for the others.


(Breakline, the next day)

Tim POV

I shifted the bag over my back, careful not to disturb my wings as I left Wayne Manor. It was 5 AM in the morning, and I highly doubt anyone in the Manor was anywhere near awake while I left. Well, except maybe Alfred...

I walked down the street, stopping at a section of the road where it split into two. In the middle of the barely used road, was a manhole. But instead of it being used as a sewer, it was a zeta tube.

The good thing about the man hole, the lid covering it wasn't that heavy. Though, I guess that's because they didn't want it to be hard to get to it in an emergency.

I slipped under the manhole cover, dropping into a narrow tube with controls in front of me. "Wow, Justice League really didn't care about being claustrophobic." I muttered as I typed in the right coordinates.

I blinked my eyes, and when I opened them, I was in the Mountain with Rampage staring at me. "...Why are you here?" Rampage asked after he looked at a clock on the wall.

"I came here to set somethings up. Why are you up?" I asked, walking towards room that seemed to be a debriefing room.

"I don't know, I just wake up early for some reason. What are you going to set up?" Rampage asked, looking at me kind of suspiciously.

"Just the computer. This place hasn't been used in years, meaning the computer will need to be rebooted and backed up. And I need to make sure you guys can go on it if you want without having to try to find a wifi connection." I said, bringing up the holographic computer.

"...What's wifi?" Rampage asked confused.

I blinked, then went back to trying to get pass the password on the computer. "It stands for wireless fidelity. It's what most laptops use for internet, but since I haven't gotten the router started, this computer will have to use wifi for now. A lot of things in here still don't work, and it's going to take more than a few months to get everything back to how it was." I said, smirking when I got through the password.

"...oh. What else would you need to fix around here?" He asked, frowning slightly.

"Nothing that would effect how you two live here too much. For now, I'm just focusing on getting all the computers back online and fixing the TV in the Den room, plus the motorcycles need to be fixed." I said, getting a grunt in response.

We didn't talk for a while, and my mind wondered while I fixed the computer. Ever since Cadmus, a lot of things have been getting worse and worse. Home was starting to become more of a contest of how well can you avoid each other, something Alfred obviously disapproved of. Roy's been more angry, probably because of Ollie. The only one who seemed to stay the same was Bart, but that's how he always was. I can't really say that Rampage and Roy were changing much since I've never met them before now.

I blinked, frowned. Rampage seemed more like a code name more than anything, not something you would call a person 24/7. But what else could I call him? After all, he didn't have another name. Maybe I could fix that.

"...Did you want a real name?" I asked, looking at him over my shoulder.

He looked at me shocked, then shrugged when the emotion faded from his face. It was disturbingly a lot like my dad. "Yeah, it would be nice, but all the names I think of don't sound... me." He said, sounding like he was trying to not sound interested, but he failed.

"Well, I'm setting the computer up. We could search the internet for a name you would like. I would ask Red Arrow, but he would probably kill me for waking him up this early if the original Roy is anything to go by, and... he seems pretty happy with the name Roy." I said, pulling up a screen and typed 'boy names' into the google search.

We looked over different name websites, each one not having a name Rampage liked. Funny, I would have thought he would have liked the name Axel, at least. "...Why are you doing this for me?" Superboy asked after the 5th website.

I grinned at him ruefully, pulling up a different name website. "Because, believe it or not, I know what it's like to be an experiment and how nice it feels to have an actual name and not just some code name you were given." I said, looking at the new list of names.

"So, what do you think about these names?" I asked, gesturing to the random names that showed up before he could question me further.

Rampage looked at them, stopping at one in particular. "Conner. I like that one." He said, nodding to the name.

"Alright, sounds good. Now we just have to tell the others, and it's official." I said, exiting out of the website.

"What's official?" A groggy voice asked.

I turned around, grinning when I saw Roy, or Roy 2 I guess, standing in the door way in his boxers with bed head that made him look like a grumpy zombie. "Nice bed head." I said, laughing into my hand.

"It's 5:30 in the morning, be happy I'm not worse. And what were you guys talking about?" He asked, glaring at me tiredly.

"My name." Conner said simply, like it's something he's had since forever.

Roy blinked, not seeming confused, just letting it sink in. "Alright. What is it? Please tell me it isn't something stupid like those names on those animes shows." Roy said, grimacing slightly at the mention of anime.

"He likes the name Conner. And what's wrong with anime? Anime is awesome." I said, glaring at him.

Roy rolled his eyes, so much like the original, and just gives me a look. "Anime is annoying. Why would anyone like it?" Roy asked, making me stare at him.

"That's- that's exactly what the other Roy said about anime. Oh my go- That's it, I'm calling Bart. I'm telling him there is a 526 and a 401 in here." I said, glaring at Roy as I pulled out my phone.

"What's 526 and 401?" Conner asked.

"526 is code for Asshole Who Thinks Anime Is Stupid When They Haven't Even Watched It. 401 is for Need To Show Someone Anime Before Someone Makes Them Think It Is Stupid." I said, pressing my phone to my ear.

I blinked, realizing how familiar this scene was looking like. It was like the second time I met up with the original Roy and Jaime at Roy's house. I remember, I had to call Bart over because Jaime didn't know about Anime yet, and Roy was trying to tell him it was stupid. And, we were still friends.

Maybe there was a chance of this team thing working.
