You sat in the chair you were given as you ran through everything on your mind. Come to terms with it and move on. Your training wasn't for nothing. You looked around. You knew exactly where you were. This was your home yet, it was much different than what you were use to. This was the Batcave.

It seemed so empty but at the same time, you've never seen this many people in here. It was mostly you and Bruce. Every once in a blue moon Damien or Dick would show up but they never stayed too long. Now there was the entire bat family here. Also something that seemed odd to you. By the time Bruce found you, only three were left. You never did find out what happened to the others. Bruce never wanted to talk about it.

Oh, guess we should introduce them. First off there's the man himself, Batman.

It was messing with your brain seeing a younger Bruce typing away on the bat computer. He didn't look his age, somehow healthy for his age despite his exploits.

Next is Nightwing.

Dick was in his prime. Well, not quite. He's the protector of Bludhaven but not the one you know. He was still young and, actually had a great sense of humor. He had Booster laughing on the way here and every once and a while you would catch one of the jokes and laugh as well.

Then there was Robin.

Damien Wayne is, 13. 13. What in the ass?! This is the guy who taught you everything you knew about fighting. This is your, mentor. He's just a kid. He's younger than you! You're used to the 44 year old him not, this.

Now for the members you never met.

The second robin turned villain turned outlaw, Jason Todd aka Red Hood. You have seen his costume in the cave in your time and Bruce always talked about how proud he was of him for turning his life around. He founded the Outlaw Corporation which hired heroes for jobs not normally taken by the league. He went MIA around the time you were born. He seemed like a fun, cool dude. Reckless but cool.

Tim Drake or Red Robin. The third Robin and future leader of the second Teen Titans. This kid was, well he looked like he hadn't slept in a few days. He was the smartest robin and most likely to become the next Batman. You have no idea what happened. You didn't know he even existed until you worked alongside the Teen Titans of your time and they let his name slip up. You asked Bruce but he just changed the subject.

Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl. Well, Batgirl 1. Or, ok things are really complicated in this family. She was the first batgirl but got shot and became Oracle and there was a second Batgirl that we'll get to but she retook the mantle and the second Batgirl took a different identity. She was the police commissioner but was unfortunately killed in action. She was nice and honestly was probably the most normal one so far.

Spoiler aka Batgirl 2 aka Stephenie Brown. You knew nothing about her but her costume reminded you of a vigilante you once fought. She took the mantle of Batgirl after Barbara became Oracle she was sweet and seemed close to Tim. Uh, a little too close if you were being honest. Guess the two of them are dating? Regardless, she seemed more like Jason in terms of attitude.

Uh, Orphan. Cassandra Cain. She's, you had no idea what to make of her honestly. She hasn't said a word to anyone. She seemed to stand away from everyone. Only Stephanie approached her and handed her a sandwhich Alfred made.

Oh, yeah. Alfred.

You knew of him. You've seen pictures of him around the manor and Damien named his cat after him. You had nothing but respect for this man.

Last but not least, Batwoman. Bruce's cousin who had passed away from old age before you had a chance to meet her. You attended her funeral where you learned most of what you know of her. She was former military. Katherine Kane was in charge of the Batman Inc team. You had no idea what that was really, some project that Bruce scraped, or will scrape in three years.

You and Booster sat at the table while everyone talked to each other and Bruce worked on Booster's data to find out what had happened. The chip completely fried the time travel tech but everything else seemed to work fine. Everyone still wore their masks except for Booster who was chowing down on a sandwhich Alfred gave him. Alfred went away to do, butler thing?, as everyone else did their own thing. Finally, Bruce returned to the table and gave Booster his wrist computer back.

Batman: I checked over your data. Most of it is corrupted but the computer is going to read through them until we can decipher them.

Booster smiled as he ate and placed the wrist computer back on his wrist. Everyone soon came to the table and sat around, most looking at you and Booster, as Bruce began the meeting.

Batman: Now, we need you to tell us exactly what happened.

You rolled your eyes under the visor and recounted what had happened before showing up on their time. Booster added his side as well but in the end, it was the same story.

Red Robin: So, you two ended up here because of a virus you made?

Booster: Yes and no. Yes this dumbass made the virus, no it wasn't actually his fault. Some Joker knock off put the chip on my tech and fried it.

Batgirl: So you made a virus that can destroy future tech? That's pretty impressive.

You shrugged and turned to Damien. You wondered what he was like as a kid.

Robin: Keep staring and I'll rip your spine out from your nose.

Ok. Definitely not what you had imagined. You turned away. He is a lot more peaceful in the future. Your gaze turned to Orphan who was sitting there silently. Thanks to her mask, you couldn't tell what she was looking at or even if she was paying any attention.

Batwoman: Regardless I'm more concerned about this Joker Knock Off you mentioned. The joker is dead in your time right?

You gave an "eh" motion with your hand.

Y/N: More or less. He was dead, then the Joker Gang became a thing, then he came back, and now he's dead again but before everything happened I was investigating cases that matched his M.O.

Nightwing: You think that they might have something to do with the knock off?

You shook your head.

Y/N: No. This new guy has powers. The cases were mostly robberies and kidnappings. They didn't seem like that kind of baddie.

Bruce lifted his hand and began to scratch his chin. He was thinking. Something you've caught on to in his later years.

Batman: He sounds more like a gun for hire. If he was working for Luthor than he's most likely a bodyguard or under boss of some kind.

Booster: I would go with the bodyguard. Good fighter to. Took us both on.

You kicked him under the table which made him jump enough to shake it.

Y/N: Let's leave the smaller details out.

Suddenly Katie snapped her head towards you.

Batwoman: How long have you been Batman for in your time?

You counted in your head.

Y/N: If I'm 17 now, about 2 years.

Everyone looked to you in surprise, even Bruce. You had started your actual training to be Batman at the age of 14 but time waits for no one and you took up the mantle against Bruce's orders when your school was taken hostage.

Nightwing: How did you become Batman at 15?! I'm not even batman and I'm 25!

Batman: I'm still alive. Regardless, I would also like to know the answer.

You turned to Booster who just shrugged.

Booster: Might as well tell them. They're gonna find out regardless.

You sigh and turned back to Bruce.

Y/N: After you retired, there was no Batman so I had to step up.

Everyone was even more baffled.

Red Hood: And why didn't any of us take the mantle? I think most of us are more than qualified to take over after Bruce is old and grey.

Robin: Most of us doesn't include you Todd.

Red Hood: Shut it brat!

You watched the two bicker before noticing Orphan looking right at you. You turned to face her only for her to look away smoothly enough that it looked like she was facing forward the entire time.

Nightwing: So how come no one stepped up? Did something happen?

You gave it some thought.

Y/N: I, actually, this is hard to explain. Until an hour ago, I've only ever met three of you.

The room was eerily quiet.

Y/N: Bruce is my mentor who taught me what it meant to be Batman and is kind of my man in the chair, Dick was the one who taught me what it meant to be a hero, and Damien taught me how to fight and use my mind in situations. Everyone else had either died or dissapeared. Some of you I never even heard of.

You looked down at the table as the tension began to grow. You didn't mean to throw Bruce under the bus but you knew he had a reason for hiding things. Everyone knew. Booster yawned which caught everyone's attention.

Booster: Look, we've been awake for about a day and a half and we're exhausted. Can't we figure this out another time? I mean, I don't know how you bat people can stay up all night and be fine but I'm human and need sleep.

You shook your head. You honestly weren't tired. You had too much to think about right now. Even if you did lay down you wouldn't be able to sleep.

Spoiler: I second that. We've been going non stop since yesterday and now this is happening and, it's a lot. Can we call it and pick up tomorrow?

Batman: Fine. We need time for the computer to retrieve the data. We'll pick this up tomorrow.

Everyone seemed to cheer silently, except for Orphan, Batman, and Batwoman, and stood up before Jason turned to you.

Red Hood: So who are you exactly, in regards to all of us?

Everyone was looking at you once again. You crossed your arms as you seemed to have a stare down with the group. Booster stepped away from you as you smirked under your helmet.

Y/N: And why should I show you? None of you have showed yourselves. His do you expect me to trust you all if you don't at least give me that?

Everyone looked at each other. Barbara stepped forward and pulled her cowl away. Dick followed suit and took off the mask. Soon everyone did the same expect for Batman and Orphan.

Batman: You know what I look like. I'm heading back on patrol. Don't destroy anything.

Batman hopped into the batmobile, wait that's an actual car, and sped away. Orphan return her gaze to you and slowly took off her mask.

Y/N: 'Cute'

She was indeed cute. You quickly shook that thought from your mind and reached to your chin. You activated a button that released the helmet before you took it off. Your H/C hair fell loose over your face and down your neck. You haven't had a chance to get a haircut in a while so it had gotten out of control. Your E/C eyes looked around the room trying to adjust to not having the hub everywhere you looked. Everyone look at you and then to Damian who seemed shocked.

Y/N: Well, I should properly introduce myself. I'm Y/N. Y/N al Ghul.
