Batman paced in front of the teens, eyes squinted in deep suspicion.

"Just what are you up to?"

"Up  to, sir?" Kaldur asked.

"One second you're pouting about being excluded from the mission, then suddenly you're all okay with staying home," Flash pointed out.

"Not just that, they're basically forcing us out the door," Ollie added.

"Look," Canary said, "If you just tell us what you're up to, then maybe we could reduce your punishment."

Conner squirmed where he stood. Wally elbowed him in the ribs. "We don't have anything to say," The redhead said, eyeing the youngest teen. "Because we're not up to anything, right Supes?"

Conner forced a nod, his body stiff and uncooperative.

"I've yet to see anything with which they could do particular mischief." Manhunter pointed out. "We mustn't persecute without due cause."

"I know they're up to something," Batman muttered. Studying each teen's face.

M'gann tried to force her pupils into a neutral forwards position.

The bat stopped, staring into their very soul.

For an eighth of a second her eyes darted to the couch. It was enough.

Batman stormed over to where the teens' schoolbags sat on the dusty green sofa. "Before I declare a search of your backpacks, do you have anything you'd like to say?"

"WE WEREN'T PLANNING TO GET DRUNK!" Conner exploded.

His friends slowly turned to glower at the kryptonian.

"That's it," Batman demanded. "Call Red Arrow."

"I knew we shouldn't have told Supes until after they left."

"I said we weren't going to get drunk!" Conner argued petulantly, arms crossed.

Roy surveyed them warily. He didn't really feel like watching a bunch of teens, but he owed Dinah a favour.

"I can't believe they still think you need a babysitter," The eighteen-year-old scoffed. "I thought you were their super-independant-and-equal proteges now?"

"We are."

"They got you a babysitter because you got caught planning a party. Seriously, I mean, most teenagers would just get a lecture and a grounding."

"First of all," Wally said, "We weren't planning a party. We were conducting some very interesting experiments regarding--"

"Cut to the point!" Artemis heckled.

Wally sighed. "We were going to see how much a Martian, Atlantean and Kryptonian clone could drink before getting blackout drunk."

"Thrilling," Roy said flatly.

"Red," Robin wheedled, "You don't have to be a part of this. We could just say you were here the whole time. You do your thing, we do our thing, nobody needs to know."

"Nice try, they left a list of rules." The oldest responded. "The first rule is that we've all got to stay here."

"What?! They can't do that!" Conner exclaimed.

"Well they did."

"What other rules are there?" M'gann snatched the list from Roy's hands, eyes flicking down the page. "No 17+ TV?!"

"I guess the league are worried about their widdle babies watching anything inappropriate" He teased.

Robin craned his neck to read off the page. "10:30pm bedtime?! come on!"

Roy snorted. "Hey, I didn't make them, I just enforce them. Looks like I'll be sending you to bed at 10:30."

"I can't believe this," Artemis groaned. "They think we're kids!"

"You don't help your case much by whining and stomping," Her predecessor replied. "and by blowing things up every time you're unsupervised."

"It was an accident!"

"I get it, I've been on the other side of the infantilization. I mean, Arrow never babied me the way they baby you guys, but maybe that's because they don't think I'm as immature or fragile. Still, I get that it sucks to be treated like a little kid."

"So you'll stand up for us?" Wally asked.

"Since when was that my job? I have a hard enough time being treated like an adult. If you want the league to take you seriously you need to push back more."

Artemis glared at him. "Can't you make an exception to those stupid rules? You know how mature we are."

"You're right," Roy said, "Aqualad can stay up until 11:00."

"What? How is that fair?!" his replacement ordered.

"At least Aqualad doesn't sleep with a teddy bear."

Artemis' cheeks burned. It was a low blow and a cheap shot and they both knew it.

"Can we hold the friendly fire, please?" Kaldur asked.

"I think so too!" M'gann agreed, "We need to have a secret meeting on the mindlink!"

"You know it's not really a secret meeting if you announce it to everyone," Roy said, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey! Get off her dick!" Artemis spat. "You're right, Meg, everybody link up!"

'Should Conner be on this link?' Wally asked, 'I mean, he beefed it big last time.'

'It seems mean to exclude him,' M'gann replied. 

'But he'd terrible at keeping secrets!'

'No I'm not,' Conner argued, 'I've kept tons of secrets!'

'Sure you have, buddy.'

'Back to the matter at hand,' Kaldur interrupted. 'What did you want to discuss, Ms. Martian?'

'Oh, uh, I was just thinking if we're going to be stuck here, why don't we just try to kick back and make the most of it?"

'But how? they took our alcohol!'  Dick replied.

Artemis audibly gasped, drawing Roy's interest. She quickly composed her excitement. 'Roy keeps pre-rolls in his bag, if we could just lure him away from his backpack, I could grab them, and then we could smoke up on the mountain top!'

'Isn't it bad to steal drugs though?' Conner asked uncertainly.

'Consider it recompense for him siding with the league with the whole babysitting thing.'

'I guess it doesn't really count as leaving the mountain if we sit on top of it...' Robin reasoned.

'there's no halting this idea, is there?' Kaldur reached up to rub between his eyed. 'Alright, where do we start?'

Roy was flicking through his phone when the shouting started.

"You literally never keep secrets!" Artemis snapped, "sure, you can keep them when it's important to you, but when it matters to us?"

"I said we weren't getting drunk! I lied to Batman! it's not my fault he's so good at detecting lies!" Superboy shouted defensively.

"You don't have to be a genius to tell when you're lying!" Artemis replied sharply. "Seriously, I get social stuff and white lies are hard for you, but you're a hero for crying out loud!"

"I am a hero!" Conner shouted so loud he had to cover his own ears. "and you can't deny that!"

"I'm not saying you're not a hero--"

"You think I'm just here so the league can keep an eye on me!" Conner accused, storming past his friends. "You don't see me as an equal! None of you do!" He exited theatrically.

"Get back here!" Artemis growled, taking off after him.

After several long seconds Kaldur cleared his throat.

"Somebody should do something about that," Wally remarked.

They turned to Kaldur.

"...I was under the impression that Red Arrow was in charge."

Roy groaned, hauling himself up off the couch. "They're your team."

"Then I'll come for moral support," Kaldur suggested, leading the young adult from the room.

The second they were out of earshot, Robin leapt off the second couch and ripped the zipper open. Silently as he could, the bird rifled through the older boy's possessions.

Artemis had said it was in one of those travel toothbrush cases, and soon enough the boy's fingers closed around a dark blue plastic cylinder, about ten inches in length.

He removed the week, chucking it at M'gann, who caught it mid-air and stuffed it under the couch cushions. Quickly He replaced everything as he remembered it and closed the bag.

By the time Roy returned, the remaining three teens were innocently sat around doing homework. Something felt off to the Red Head, but he ignored it, stalking back to the couch. 

"Is everything Okay?" M'gann asked.

"Aqualad is sorting the others out." He replied.

"Maybe we shoudld help, Rob, you and I were there when Supes was 'born', and Meg's an empath."

Roy was delighted with the idea of getting the living room and TV to himself, and encouraged them to leave. "But stay here, you know the rules."

"Of course!" Robin agreed. 'I mean,' he added over the mindlink, 'we aren't really leaving the mountain'.

When they reached the hanger bay to meet the others Conner was stiff huffing, his arms crossed. He knew that Artemis had just been Acting, but it still hit close to home.

"Alright," Artemis said, "You got it?" 

M'gann held up the plastic vial.

"Great," The archer grinned, "let's go. Kaldur-- grab your inhaler."

(End of Part one)

-I wanted Roy to have an "Moody Older Cousin" vibe with the team. The difference between "Roy" and Will is so drastic I think it's ooc and Roy should be a little more fun in s1-
