Bruce called Barry and Clark over to the manor. These two were the only ones he could trust enough to listen to him and not vent their anger toward him because of what he did. They were sitting in the living room discussing the phone call that he and Alfred just had.

"So you know for sure that this guy is abusing Dick?" Clark asked.

"No, not for sure, but you tell me that that's not what it sounded like," Bruce replied.

When Clark and Barry first got there, they actually met in the cave, and Bruce played the part of the conversation that he recorded for them.

"I'm not saying that," Clark said raising his hands up in front of him. "All I'm saying is that one pop that sounds like a person smacking someone might not be enough proof for the police to go by."

"He's right," Barry agreed. "I would think you knew that. Don't you do this kind of stuff all the time?"

"No," Bruce said. "I work on kidnappings, petty theft, murders, and the escape of crazed villains, not this stuff. The police handle the abuse cases and the personal stuff for Gotham."

"Then you need to go to the police with this," Clark said.

"I called Commissioner Gordon before I called you guys. He told me that he would look into it, but that it could take a while. He also said that abusers have ways of hiding the truth so that they can't touch them, and that even the person being abused goes along with it out of fear."

"But Dick is Robin," Barry said. "Something like that shouldn't affect him, should it?"

"He's also only thirteen," Clark said. "I've done a few stories in Metropolis about children and teens all the way up to nineteen going along with their abuser's stories for a long time before they finally confess, if they ever do."

"Dick may be strong, but he's also had a hard past," Bruce put in. "The trauma of losing his parents and then me betraying him by giving him up, plus the threats from Steve are probably why he's not saying anything. He probably thinks there's no reason too."

"But you said he's been calling you for the past three weeks," Barry said.

"Yes, but every time Alfred has been talking to him."

"And he didn't say a word about it," Alfred said as he walked in with a tray of drinks.

"I see. So what are you going to do?" Barry asked.

"I've done everything I can as Bruce Wayne, now it's Batman's turn. I'll try to get evidence that will prove Dick's being abused, and bring it to Commissioner Gordon."

"But won't he get suspicious?" Clark asked. "I mean, if you don't normally bother with this sort of thing, then he might question why you are for this particular case."

"So send the team."

Bruce, Barry, Clark, and Alfred all looked over toward the front door to see Wally standing there.

"Kid, what are you doing here?" Barry asked standing up along with Bruce and Clark.

Wally walked toward them. "Aunt Iris told me you were here," he said as he looked toward his uncle then looked at Bruce. "Send the team after Dick." He finally stopped right in front of Bruce.

"I'll handle this," Bruce said glaring then turned and started walking toward the study.

Wally got angry, ran and got in front of Bruce, then punched Bruce as hard as he could. Bruce stumbled backwards, and because he was caught off guard, fell.

"Wally!" Barry yelled as he ran to help Bruce up. Clark and Alfred just stayed where they were.

"Why do you have to be so... so...!"

"Stubborn?" Clark finished for Wally.

"Yeah, stubborn! Dick's a part of the team whether you like it or not!"

Bruce just glared at him. "Because, you and your team are for covert missions only, unless..."

"Unless Rob convinces you otherwise!" Wally interrupted, still very angry.

Even Barry knew to stay out of this one and backed up.

Bruce grabbed Wally by the shirt with two hands. "Dick had nothing to do with what missions I sent you on! You and your team will stay out of this!"

Wally smacked Bruce's hands away. "Gaa! You're impossible!" He then ran out the front door.

"You know, he did have a point," Barry said then immediately regretted it as Bruce turned the all too famous Batglare on him.

"Those kids would just make things worse. They would think they were going after Robin and find out they were going after Dick, and that would reveal our identities," Bruce said angrily.

"Yeah, about that," Barry said rubbing the back of his neck and looking away from Bruce. "Wally might have already told them." Bruce narrowed his eyes like he was about to kill someone and Barry put his hands up. "I said might have. Wally was venting about the situation about a week ago and said that he was going to tell the others his real name and they would all go after him themselves. I tried to reason with him, but he ran off raging mad and I don't know if he told them or not."

"Well, if they haven't done anything by now, then I think it's safe to say he didn't," Clark said.

Bruce was still mad, but didn't say anything and turned and continued to the study to go down to the cave.

Barry and Clark looked at each other then followed Bruce, leaving Alfred to take the untouched drinks back to the kitchen.

Wally ran all the way to Mount Justice. When he got there, he ran right up to Artemis and Kaldur sparring. "Guys, I need to talk to you guys," he said, startling both of them then ran off before they could say a word.

By the time they got to the common room, M'gann was walking out of the kitchen as confused as they were. "Wally, what's wrong?"

"I can't stand it anymore," Wally replied angry.

"Can't stand what?" Conner asked as M'gann, Artemis and Kaldur found a seat, and looked at the pacing speedster.

"Batman!" he yelled. "He knows for sure that Rob's getting abused and he won't let us help do anything!"

They all looked at him shocked. "You know what happened to Robin?" M'gann asked.

Wally looked at them. He forgot that he only found out stuff about Dick by overhearing conversations. "Yeah, and I'm about to do something that will probably get me killed." They all looked at him confused. Wally took a deep breath and began. "Ok, first off, I know Rob's ID."

"What?!" Artemis yelled. "How come you know, but the rest of us aren't allowed?!"

"Because, Rob's been my best friend long before this team, or even before I knew Kaldur and Roy."

"But you knew both Roy and Robin before you met me as well," Kaldur said.

"Yeah, well, I met Roy not long after Rob, but Rob and I have been friends since I became a speedster."

"Then who is he?" Conner asked.

"His name's Dick Grayson."

"Grayson? As in son of billionaire Bruce Wayne?" Artemis gasped.

"Well, former son," Wally said a bit irate, "but yeah."

"So that's what he meant when he said we'll laugh about that picture someday," Artemis said, mainly to herself, looking down.

"Yeah," Wally said smiling. He remembered Dick sending him that picture.

"Then does that mean Batman is Bruce Wayne?" M'gann asked.

"Yeah," Wally said angry again, "and that's where I just came from." The others stayed quiet and listened. "You see after Rob left that morning, I knew that something was up, and when we didn't see him the next day like he said, or a few days after that, I went to Uncle Barry and asked him about it. He told me that Bruce took Dick back to the orphanage because he wanted to protect him."

"Protect him? He's the gosh dang Batman! Who would be better to protect him than that?" Artemis asked getting angry herself.

"Well, I don't know for sure. He wouldn't tell me the details, but of what I overheard, it was something about how much bad guys wanted money from Bruce and they used Dick to get it."

"He gave Dick up over money?" Conner asked confused.

"That's what it sounded like to me," Wally replied, "but there could've been other reasons too, I just didn't hear them. All I do know is that now Bruce regrets what he did and wants to get Dick back."

"So why not just go and get him from the orphanage?" Conner asked still confused.

"Because he's not there anymore," Wally replied sadly.

"What do you mean?" Kaldur asked.

"Well, once Uncle Barry told me, I ran over to the orphanage to see him, but when I asked them where he was, they told me that he'd already got adopted."

"By who?" M'gann asked. "Maybe we could go see him."

"I don't know, they wouldn't tell me their names."

"Does Ba... Bruce know who they are?" Kaldur asked.

"I think so, but I think I came in in the middle of the conversation, 'cause I didn't hear any names."

"So all we have to do is find out who they are and where they live," Artemis said.

"Yes, but how if the people at the orphanage will not help us?" Kaldur asked her.

"I think M'gann can help us there." They all stared at Wally.

"How can I help? You're not going to ask me to read their minds are you?" M'gann asked.

"No, nothing like that," Wally said.

"Then how?" Artemis asked crossing her arms.

"M'gann can become invisible right?"

"Yeah?" Artemis answered confused.

"You knew that, Wally," M'gann said.

"I know, but that's how you're going to find out where Rob is." He looked around and saw the others still confused. "M'gann can go into the Batcave invisible and use the Batcomputer to find out where he lives."

"But how do you know he has where they live on there?" Artemis asked.

"Uhhh, well, I don't, but it's worth a try right?" Wally asked then looked to Kaldur.

Kaldur looked down and thought about it then looked back up to Wally then the others. "Do it."

"Really?" M'gann asked slightly worried. "Are you sure we should be breaking into Batman's place?"

"Not us, you, and yeah. It's the only way we'll get to see Rob again," Wally said.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. We shall find another way to find out where he now lives if you want," Kaldur told her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

M'gann looked to Wally's pleading face then back to Kaldur. "I'll do it. For Robin."

Wally jumped and gave a shout of joy while the others just smiled. They had a plan, now all they had to do was go through with it.
