If I owned Young Justice, Linkin Park, 2012, Categories 6 and 7, 10.5, or Independence Day I would be rich, but I'm not.

Recognized: Robin B01

Robin stumbled out of the zeta tubes, not having gotten a drop of sleep between Gotham, Germany, and detective work. Kaldur noticed this, looking up. Batgirl and Artemis had called the Team together, babbling something about Germany, Indonesian, and O. Henry-esque twists. Artemis had said to wait until Robin got there, and so they had. Dinah and Roy had knowing smirks, Tula and Garth sharing a look with Batgirl and Artemis.

Everyone was startled at the bird's appearance. He had changed into civvies sometime in the night, and had a slight limp. Well, more than a slight limp- he was on crutches. His hair was a tangled mess, there were several parallel scratches on his cheek with a bruise blooming across his forehead. He flopped on the couch, leaning the crutched up next to himself. "Hey guys," he said, yawning.

"Robin. What happened?" Kaldur narrowed his eyes.

"Gotham. Lack of sleep. Jet lag. Numerous things. I managed to get the video of the conference last night subtitled accurately- I hope. I was kinda half asleep when I did it. Dammit, I really need coffee." Robin rambled a little bit, hauling himself up to his feet using the crutches, moving to get himself a cup of coffee.

"Dude! No! You remember the last time you had coffee?" Wally looked horrified as he zipped in front of the ebony.

"To be fair, I wasn't running on non-existent adrenaline last time I had coffee. I've been awake for at least forty-eight hours- give me a break, I deserve one here a bit," Robin rambled a bit again, looking puzzledly at his coffee, to his crutches, to the couch. "Wally, hold my coffee and don't drink any of it." He passed the cup of coffee to his speedster friend who stared as he flopped back down on the couch. "Coffee," Robin said, holding out his hand, Wally handing the coffee back to the bird, who gulped it down.

"Okay, video now?" Batgirl tapped her foot impatiently.

"Okay, okay. I figured out that Malamingin, Huatakaivurit, and-and Drachenfluch were going to be having a meeting in Berlin. We went and spied. I recorded the entire thing," Robin explained, pulling up a holoscreen from his wrist computer, and a bigger screen came into existence, showing the meeting- with subtitles. By the end of it, Robin was feeling perkier from the caffeine.

"Wow. Those are some smart kids," Virgil was a little incredulous.

"Yep," M'axx agreed, popping the 'p'.

"So… This all happened last night?" M'gann raised an eyebrow.

"Technically, I guess? I dunno…" Robin looked around the room.

"Robin, you need sleep. Now," Kaldur ordered.

"Can't. Caffeine, remember?" Robin smirked, feeling awake. "Don't worry, I'll crash in a couple hours and then I'll sleep- for, like, twelve hours, which can be a pretty bad thing in Gotham. It's why after a while we tend to develop nocturnal and insomniac habits- end up not needing as much sleep," he rambled a bit.

"Guess we're stuck with a half-coherent Robin for a while," Roy sighed, shaking his head. Robin grinned impishly, while Artemis facepalmed. The heroes left to their various cities, leaving Tula and Garth with Robin, who Kaldur had ordered to stay at the Cave. Surprisingly, he stayed.

"Don't expect Robin to obey any time he's completely coherent- he knows he can't go patrol in Gotham, plus he has a cast and crutches so he'll be out of commission for about four weeks," Roy hissed to Kaldur.

"Doesn't it take six weeks for a broken bone to heal?" Kaldur asked, confused.

"He's a bat. He'll back on the streets in three and a half weeks, trust me," Roy whispered back before walking into the zeta tubes.

Kaldur just shrugged, before leaving to DC as well.

"So. Robin. Uh, how did you, uh, break your leg?" Tula looked a little apprehensive at asking Robin the question.

"Oh, Bane threw me off a building toward the end of last night. Spent a bit of time in the hospital getting it set and the cast on, left them the bill on the desk in cash, then I went and subbed the video so those not knowing Indonesian, German, and Finnish could understand," Robin rambled, opening his laptop- he almost always had it with him at the Cave.

"Ah. Uh, who's Bane?" The female Atlantian blushed, a little embarrassed.

"An assassin who uses a type of chemical formula to enhance his strength," Robin replied, checking his Tumblr and various other sites before leaning back, putting in his earbuds, and listening to good old Linkin Park. Tula and Garth just smiled at each other, seeing as they mostly had the TV to themselves, and figured out how to surf channels.

There had been a large-scale brawl that occurred between the Team and several heavy hitters- the Injustice League was back- that demolished a few buildings in DC. When they came back, more than a little battered, they arrived upon the endearing sight of Robin curled up against Tula, who had Garth's arm wrapped around her shoulders, and the two Atlantians were watching 2012 with avid curiosity. Tula motioned for them to be quiet when they entered the living room, and they tried their best- Robin was pretty well unconscious, but with bats you never know. He woke up to the rest of the Team passed out around him, most of them battered, and the TV was now playing the Category Six part one movie. He just leaned into Tula a bit more, enjoying her warmth, and watched as a giant hurricane tore up Chicago- the movie actually had pretty nice effects, and he really couldn't stop watching when they started playing Category Seven, then could barely stay awake through 10.5 as the Team was waking up.

"'Bout time you woke up," he said, yawning, as Roy started standing up. "I just sat through hours of TV movie apocalyptic-scale natural fake disasters. You really took your time."

"What was on?" The redhead asked, slightly curious.

"Categories Six and Seven, and 10.5 is currently playing," Robin replied. "Now move. You're in my way and it's the climax and oh my gosh, is that why that river was flowing the wrong way?" The movie had just reached what was pretty much the most intense part of it. "Damn. I did not see that one coming."

Roy rolled his eyes and went to get out of his ragged uniform and returned back to the living room to see everyone getting up, various superheroes staring at the TV.

"Robin, how can you like this?" Batgirl screeched, outraged. "This stuff is plain crap! I mean, half of the theories don't even work! None of it makes sense!"

"It's the end of the movie, silly," Robin replied, grinning. "Of course none of it makes sense."

"Well, it still wouldn't make sense even if I watched it from the beginning," Batgirl growled.

"I dunno. This is pretty intense," Artemis added.

"They're showing Independence Day next. I know you like that one," Robin said to Batgirl, grinning.

"Who doesn't? I mean, seriously, people and aliens blowing each other up. Independence day is a sci-fi lover's bible!" The redhead grinned.

"Pfft, I just like the president dude. He's pretty awesome and his daughter's darn adorable!" Wally grinned, eyes narrowed.

"I've met Mae Whitman," Robin mused, and the Team turned to stare, Kara's eyes wide.

"You have? Oh my gosh, what was she like?" The Girl of Steel was extremely excited.

"Eh, can't really remember. That was forever ago," Robin replied, shrugging.

"I hate you," Kara growled, crossing her arms as Robin grabbed his crutches and made his way over to the coffee.

"I know," he replied, grinning. "But even though you hate me, you just can't stay away."

"Oh, my, God! Robin, did you just- you just- you pulled a Wally!" Artemis spluttered, eyes wide. The Team just stared at the grinning bird.

Well some nice fluff in this chapter.
