Meeting
A/N: Very cute comic book moment... Teen Titans #92.... I so miss Dick and Damian's relationship prior the whole New 52 movement, I think they had the best sibling relationship out of the Batclan, though Dick and Tim were pretty close before the whole Red Robin comic run and they had that adorable train scene in the Nightwing series, and Steph and Damian were cute too, the whole bouncy house scene in the Batgirl series made me so happy....
Anyway, enjoy the story, I hope you like it! Been working on the idea for quite a while now, and if you love YJ, then this might be for you! I added some new members to the team, because over the years I'm sure some people got added, they don't really add anything to the story, but I thought you might want to know(honestly though guys, who do you think should join the team in season3?):
Static- I'm pretty sure he's going to be joining the team anyway in season 3
Blackbat- I'm saying she joined as Batgirl, then took a leave of absence, and came back as Blackbat
Batgirl- Stephanie Brown version. Saying she joined as Robin, turned back into her Spoiler identity, then took a long leave of absence when she faked her death, then came back as Batgirl about the same time as Cass came back
Supergirl- I honestly don't think that Supergirl even joined the Teen Titans or Young Justice teams in the comics, but I think she would be an interesting edition

"Oh come on Dami!" Dick said, his face masking the frustration at his youngest brother's protests. He was standing at the zeta tube located behind the giant penny in the Batcave, his youngest brother standing five feet away with that stubborn face that mirrored his father's almost exactly. Dick had not been looking forward to this day exactly, but it had to happen someday. Bruce had told him to go, and Dick said yes, because saying no to Bruce was impossible. Tim wanted to go to, but probably for reasons best unsaid.
"Please no Grayson. I see no significance in accompanying you on this worthless trip." Damian glared. He leaned against the penny, not making any sign that he would be moving anytime soon, "I will not engage myself in such activities that involve the peasants of your former teammates."
"Oh please, how will this be so bad?" Tim asked, his face a mask of amusement as he tugged his younger brother's arm from behind and dragged him to Dick, struggling as his enemy basically tried to bring a knife out to stab him, "Here you go, the demon child. Now at your disposal."
"Thanks Timmy." Dick smiled brightly, with only a smile that he could make. He grabbed Damian's arm, then pulled his domino mask out and put it on his face, "Masks on boys."
"Are you nervous?" Tim asked, quickly analyzing his brother's movements with an eye that Bruce himself would envy. He scanned his brother's face for a few seconds before confirming, "Yep. You are. Why?"
Dick glared a little, before grabbing Damian's domino mask and shoving it on the smaller boy's eyes, earning a harsh wack on his hand, then turning to Tim he mouthed right above Damian's head so that the boy wouldn't be able to read his lisping, "Of course I am! Who knows what Damian will do?"
Tim raised an eyebrow at his brother's desperate measures at such a simple task that his father had given him, but not biting into his brother's desperation, he spoke aloud, "Introducing hell kid to the Young Justice team won't be bad Dick, plus he'll be joining them soon. They're your friends. Heck, they're your best friends! What's the problem with that?"
"Erm..." Dick blushed a little as Damian turned up to stare at his face, "Hi Dami!"
Damian glared, hiding the disappointment he felt at his brother, the trust he felt was breaking ever since his father had been brought back, "tt.... fine. I will allow myself to be brought along on this useless trip to your former team, and I won't make any attempt to hurt them unless they attempt to hurt you."
Dick smiled, this time genuinely and the worry lifting off of his back slightly, "Hey, don't worry, I don't see why anybody would wanna hurt me."
Tim smiled, "No, nobody would ever ever want to hurt you :p ... but unrelated to that topic, I can tell that Megan's excited about meeting more of the Bat brood."
"Wow, that's so great, I'm so excited," Damian started with feigned enthusiasm, then he turned to Dick, "tt.... let's go." Damian said, turning to Tim as he put his cowl over his head, "Where's Todd?"
Dick paused, "I don't think it'll be such a great idea to bring him into this. The team doesn't know that Jason has come back yet. Well they might but I doubt that they believe anybody who has mentioned it. Let's not call him down."
"Too late!" Tim whispered at Dick as they both watched helplessly as Damian opened his mouth to scream for Jason to come down.
"What do you want?" Jason said irritably, smoke coming from his mouth. He was walking down the stairs to the Batcave, cigarette in his mouth and puffs going to the cracks in the walls. His normal costume was already on, gray cargoes, a big red bat painted across his chest, and a jacket.
"Please don't smoke Jay...." Dick reminded his brother.
"Where are you going?" Jason ignored Dick's plea and walked over to the zeta tube and looked at the destination, "Ooh.... are you going to Mount Justice to introduce little Damian to your friends?"
"Yes I am," Dick said, nervously typing something into the computer, "And you are not coming."
Damian and Tim watched as Jason narrowed his eyes dangerously. Dick ignored that fact.
"Sorry Dickie bird, but you guys haven't erased my account on the zeta tubes, so..." Jason walked up to the zeta tube, "Let's see if I can still get into Mount Justice. Wonder what the team will have to say to me."
"Jay, maybe it isn't the best idea to do this. I mean, imagine how freaked out the team will be to see that you came back to life! Maybe they aren't ready for this!" Tim said, backing up Dick.
"Hey, Wally came back didn't he?" Jason tested Dick, seeing as the whole Wally incident freaked his older brother out.
Dick tensed nervously, "Well, yeah, but he wasn't officially dead.... we all thought he was dead..."
"That's different? You all thought I was dead!" Jason protested.
"Okay, okay, but don't barge in all like, 'HEY GUESS WHO'S BACK GUYS!!!', or anything else wacky!" Dick said, waving his hands around his head in a crazy gesture.
Jason rolled his eyes, "I think the team should be more concerned with what you do when you go through the zetas."
Dick narrowed his eyes, "Harhar."
"Come on Dick, will you chill? Jason, leave him alone." Tim said, going towards the zeta, "Okay, I just authorized permission for Damian to come through... so lets go."
Nightwing shook his hair, "Okay, let's just get this over with, come on Dami... you're with me."
"Why?" Damian asked, stepping besides Nightwing.
"Cuz...." Nightwing looked up at the sky, searching for an excuse, "I need the protection of a former assassin and competent Robin?"
Damian nodded seriously, "Fine."
Nightwing B01
Robin A21
Red Robin B20
Red Hood B13
----
Inside the rebuilt Mount Justice, two girls sat on a green couch comfortably in the living room.
Megan nodded to Artemis, whispering for fear of someone else hearing her speak, "I can't believe that Dick has another brother!"
"I'm honestly not surprised. Daddy bats sprouts off more sidekicks faster then Wally over here can run!" Artemis chuckled hoarsely, pointing to her boyfriend, who was having a race with Bart over who could eat ice cream faster, "Hey Baywatch! Don't choke! I know how much trouble you have putting food into your mouth."
Wally paused for a second to glare up from his ice cream before continuing shoving the strawberry goodness into his mouth, "Mmph!"
Artemis and Megan giggled, and Conner walked up behind them, "He hasn't changed one bit from the day I met him."
Megan turned around, "Hey Conner! Are you ready to meet our team's newest edition?"
"Another Robin? What's this one? The fourth?" Conner asked, joking with the two girls. They giggled.
"Um... he's the fifth! Have you forgotten me?" Conner, Megan, and Artemis turned around quickly to see a blonde girl with a purple shirt that had a bat on it facing them.
"Steph, no, sorry, it's just so hard to keep track of all of you!" Conner amended, staring down at the sarcastic teen.
"Why aren't you over there with Nightwing bringing the new Robin over?" Artemis asked her, "After all, you were Robin once."
"Naw, he'll have his brothers with him, and plus, I think it'll be better if he has at least a few familiar faces in the crowd when he arrives." Steph explained, pointing to herself, and two others, "Me, Blackbat, Oracle... he'll have at least three of us here."
"Thoughtful, that's nice of you Stephanie." Megan said, nodding her head.
"The other reason I didn't go with them was because I was just to lazy to go to the Batcave." Steph shook her head, and Megan giggled, "Well I'm off! See you! Hey Kara!"
"Hey Steph! Want some ice cream?" Kara asked.
Megan took Conner's hand in her own and Artemis watched them for a few seconds before feeling someone take her own hand. Wally was standing there, Kaldur next to him. They all smiled at each other.
"Wow, our team has significantly grown." Megan smiled.
"Much so, M'gann. I'm glad our roster has expanded to giving other younger heroes more chances." Kaldur said.
"I can't believe you, me, and Dick started all of this years ago..." Wally told Kaldur, and he smiled fondly at the ginger.
Nightwing B01
"Oh! Nightwing's here! I'm super excited!" Bart yelled, rushing up to Jaime.
Jaime grinned, "Oh boy... the only reason you could be excited is because you rigged the zeta tube with a giant bucket of paint!"
"Maybe...." Bart grinned as the whole team turned and stared at him irritated, "Okay, okay, fine, I'll take it down."
The whole team was silent as the waited for the beam to fully send Nightwing in, until Wally interrupted the peaceful and watchful silence, "So Bart...."
"Yeah..." Bart asked suspiciously.
"What color was the paint? Because neon green looks really funny on Nightwing."
Artemis looked at her boyfriend, "Wally!"
Robin A21
"The newest Robin is coming in!" Lagon said, then mumbled under his breath so that only Virgil could hear him, "Great, another one."
"What? How's that a big deal?" Virgil asked a little loudly, because he didn't study the team's former history, "I thought the only Robins were Tim and Steph..."
"Oh no, there was two before those two love birds..." Lagon told him, waving his finned hand.
"Two?" Virgil asked, slightly impressed.
"Yes, there was." Megan said, smiling to him.
"Nightwing was the first." Cass(Cain-Wayne) informed him quietly.
"Who was the second?" Virgil asked.
Everybody shut up, before Steph said, "Well his name was Jason."
"Was?" Virgil asked.
"Okay, that's enough!" Wally yelled, interrupting the touchy subject.
Red Robin B20
"And ol' Red's gonna be joining us today!" Garfield said happily, leaning against Conner and Megan.
"Red?" Karen said.
"Red Robin!" Mal shouted.
"YUM!!" everybody else said, then giggled, knowing Tim would probably kill them if he had heard that.
Red Hood B13
"Who the heck is Red Hood?" Karen asked, her hand straying from Mal's chest for the slightest second out of confusion.
"I don't know honeybee." Mal said, laughing to himself about the bee reference.
"We'll find out in a few seconds." Cassie (Sandsmark) said.
"B13, B13... I know we've heard that designation some time long ago...." Conner mused quietly.
Nightwing walked into the living room with Red Robin at his side, "Yes, you've heard that before Con."
"Quite a few of you have actually..." Red Robin said from Nightwing's side.
"Where is this person?" Megan asked.
"He's back there actually. We're waiting a few seconds to bring these two out." Nightwing explained.
"Um.... Di- I mean Nightwing? Can I have a word?" everyone turned to see Barbara Gordon, better known as Oracle, roll up to the Bludhaven vigilante with a furious expression on her face.
"Should I say my last words now?" Nightwing joked nervously, looking at the face of his on and off girlfriend.
"I'm not joking. Why did you bring Jay- I mean Hood?" Oracle muttered, though everyone could hear her.
"I couldn't help it!" Nightwing protested, "It wasn't my fault! It's not like I can control him, plus Mr. Perfect decided to call him down. I can't control ten year olds! He shouted before I could even tell him not to!"
"You just have to order him to stop in the middle of whatever, and he will! You know this!" Oracle said, jabbing her finger at Nightwing's gut.
"He listens to his father! Plus, I'm not his partner anymore. I would know, I've been reminded many times. Now can we get on with this?" Nightwing glared, and Red Robin tugged his eskrima stick.
Robin and Red Hood peeked through the door, not revealing themselves.
"Looks like Dickie doesn't care 'bout you anymore, demon spawn." Red Hood said to his younger brother, which he had just affectionately nicknamed 'Satan's kid'.
"tt.... don't be ridiculous. He still likes me.... I think." Robin responded, hiding his fear.
"Hm..." Red Hood looked at his brother, "I was joking."
"Oh.... you were?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Even if you turned evil, Goldie would still love you."
"Like you?"
"Hmph."
Red Robin motioned to the door to Nightwing, "Um..."
"What are you talking about?" Bart asked, shaking his head, "History books never said anything about this."
"About what?" Oracle and Nightwing finally turned around.
"You being partners with Robin V." Bart said, and everyone turned to him(NO SPOILERS BART!).
"Do you have a double life that you aren't telling us about?" Garfield asked.
"We all do!" Red Robin said, interrupting him.
"True..." Garfield chuckled happily, not deterred.
"Anyway, who is this Red Hood?" Megan asked.
"He's... an accomplice." Red Robin said vaguely, "We don't work with him, but we don't work against him either. But we really don't support his methods and have heavily encouraged him to stop. He doesn't listen."
"Yet we live with him anyway." Nightwing whispered in his little brother's ear, so that no one else could hear.
Red Robin chuckled, "In the house we're brothers, but when we're out on the streets we're fighting. Under the mask it's brother against brother..."
"That's actually kind of sad." Nightwing said.
"Nightwing, Red Robin, please, don't beat around the bush. Who is this Red Hood?" Kaldur asked, his hand poised on his water swords.
"I am." Red Hood waltzed through the door, "How you doing Kal?"
Kaldur gaped, "Jason?"
Red Hood smiled, "Aw, you recognize me!"
Megan's jaw dropped, "But, you, you died!"
"I don't prefer that word." Red Hood said, "I just prefer to say that my heart just temporarily stopped."
Red Robin smirked at the faces of his team, "Everybody, meet Red Hood. Formerly the second Robin, he's still up and running."
No one said anything. Suddenly Bart's head shot up, "Oh yeah! I remember now, the history books were very very big on mentioning you. You're a legend!"
"Well thanks. I'm glad you think so." Red Hood replied.
"Uh.... why are you here?" Conner asked.
"Just to see your faces." Red Hood replied, "And to see that you guys treat the newest Robin with the proper respect. Or else."
"Put the gun down, Hood." Nightwing gave him a face, "No shooting."
"Where is the new Robin?" Mal asked.
"Out here." Nightwing said, going to the door and opening it. Robin stood behind it, his arms crossed in their classical position and he glared at everyone(tt).
"Wow... so you're the new Robin!" Garfield muttered, "Thought you'd be wearing those scaly green panties..."
"Shh... Gar..." Megan shushed him eagerly, "Welcome to the team young Robin!"
"Thanks." Robin muttered, glaring up at her beaming face.
"I'm M'gann, you can call me Megan though. You may also know me as Miss Martian." Megan said kindly, as she and Conner stretched both their hands out to the young boy.
Robin looked at their hands reluctantly, then back to their smiling(to be fair Conner was kind of glaring) faces, then up at Nightwing.
"Go on bud." Nightwing whispered.
Robin smirked and took both their hands, "Hello M'gann, hello Conner."
Conner looked at him, "I didn't tell you my name."
"You're my brother's best friend. Red Robin." Robin said, telling him, "He talks about you."
Conner chuckled in good humor, "All good things?"
"Sufficiently." Robin said, smirking, "Hey want to know his most embarrassing moments?"
Conner smiled, "I like you already. Come on now, we're having a party in your celebration. Your induction party let's say. We'll get to know you and everything."
"Yes, come to the living room." Kaldur invited, "And we'll take you on a tour of the cave."
"And we can play games!" Bart chimed in, ignoring Kaldur's disapproving glare.
"Good luck with that, this kid grew up with no sense of fun!" Steph told Kaldur.
"Oh?" Kaldur asked, "We'll have to change that."
As Robin left the room surrounded by his new teammates, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Nightwing hung back.
"Well that could've gone better." Nightwing told his brothers.
"Considering our family... that's the best we could get." Red Robin replied.
"Did you see Kaldur's face when he realized I was on this team though?" Red Hood laughed harshly, "What I would've done for a picture."
"And what about Megan?" Red Robin laughed alongside him, "She looked so surprised!"
"And Artemis almost fell off the couch! Did you see that? Then she pretended she was picking up something!" Nightwing burst into giggles.
"What about that Static guy? Virgil?" Red Hood said, "He looked so confused. Everyone else was all like *gape* and he was just like 'what the hell?' and I was so relishing that!"
"Hoo boy. Did you see Dick's face when Babs wheeled up to him?!" Red Robin asked Red Hood.
"Yes! Dick you looked terrified!" Red Hood broke into giggles.
"Babs is scary when she's mad!" Nightwing protested, trying to keep his dignity.
"That would have been a great picture!" Red Hood gasped, "Though Kaldur's face was pretty priceless."
"Well you can't blame me." the three boys turned to see Kaldur himself standing at the door, "Jason?"
"Yes?" Red Hood said, smirking behind his helmet.
"Can you take your hood, helmet cover thing off?" Kaldur asked.
Red Hood obeyed. Kaldur always had a demanding air that one always responded to.
Kaldur smiled, "I'm glad you're safe old friend. I cannot begin to explain how grateful I am to see that you are alive."
Jason smirked, "Well I'm glad to know that you missed me Boss man."
Kaldur smiled, "I would hug you because I'm so happy, but I have a feeling that since you are a capable looking grown man you've also outgrown all signs of affection."
"You got that right." Jason said, "But I'll make an exception. How's running the team going?"
"Difficult, but a very promising challenge. I cherish every moment I get to work with these wonderful and delightful children." Kaldur said, "Some of them."
Nightwing and Red Robin suppressed giggles at the sour face that Kaldur had just pulled, but Jason didn't hold back, "Let me guess, Lagon is giving you a hard time?"
"Surprisingly no. He has accepted that I am not a traitor anymore." Kaldur said, "I'm mostly having trouble with Arsenal's rough edges. And as delightful as Garfield can be, it's hard for me to help him harness all of his excitement. And I do try hard to keep Bart from spilling the future, but sometimes he says things. I would very much not like to change the course of history. And sometimes I have much trouble deciding if it's Jaime talking to me or to his scarab."
"You got a lot on your plate!" Nightwing said, in between laughs. Red Robin giggled, "I'm sure I'm a handful to!"
Nightwing and Kaldur stared at each other before laughing. Jason rolled his eyes, "Please replacement! You were never a handful."
"Hmph." Red Robin said, "Well 'Wing, you and I should be going. Hood, you really should come with us if you're down catching up."
"Well I would love to hear about your adventures one day friend." Kaldur said, "But now is the time that I welcome our newest member. Goodbye."
Once alone, Nightwing smiled, "Should we take Dami or leave him?"
"Leave him. I don't think he'll kill anybody and he saw me work the zeta tubes, so he'll be able to use it." Red Robin said.
"Oh yeah, and Dick." Red Hood said, as Red Robin walked away to the zeta tubes, "I think Satan's kid-"
"Don't you ever call him that!"
"Whatever, I think that hell spawn-"
"Better."
Red Robin B20
"Will you let me?! Okay, I think that Damian doesn't think that you trust him or want to be with him anymore."
"That's ridiculous." Dick made a face.
"He heard you say that you weren't his partner anymore and his face kinda got all droopy." Jason said.
"Well we aren't. He's told me that time after time after time. I tell him to brush his teeth before bed and all I get is 'we aren't partners anymore! don't boss me around!" Dick said, imitating Damian's voice.
Jason rolled his eyes, "Just something for you to think about, anyway, replacement owes me a giant game of Jenga when we get back to the cave. I'm going to cream him by the way, so you might want to get out of the way before I knock you over."
"Tim beats you every time." Dick protested.
"Please, replacement is going down. I'm getting him back for stealing my jacket so he could take it on a date with Steph." Jason said, walking to the zetas.
"What?! He did that?!" Dick asked, bewildered.
"Yep... well see you at home!" Jason yelled.
Red Hood B13
Dick put his mask back on and walked to the party to tell Robin he was going to leave and to make sure he didn't eat to much cake because he'd get a stomach ache and to tell Cass to be home by... wait, she wasn't his responsibility anymore. She was Bruce's. And Damian was Bruce's too. Technically he didn't have to tell them to do anything anymore. He was free, he didn't have to be overprotective and act like a fake dad! Score!
Blackbat walked up to Nightwing, "I know, I know. Be home by 8:00 tonight because Alfred's fixing dinner and you don't want me to get hurt."
"Actually you can go home anytime you like BB, Bats is back, so you're for him to tell where to go." Nightwing told her, then ruffled her hair.
"No. I'll come home by 8:00." Blackbat replied.
"What? You don't have to... Plus I wouldn't. Red and Hood are going to be locked in an intense game of giant Jenga and it'll be a living hell in there. Probably will be safer on Gotham's streets." Nightwing said.
"No. I always come home at 8:00 per former orders. I will continue to follow them. They have become part of my routine." Blackbat said, "Though I might stay away from the Cave for awhile. You can find me in my room. Hiding."
"Can I join you?" Nightwing joked.
"I'd be honored." Blackbat said, "Anything is better than those two."
----at the Cave: p.s the Red Robin vs. Red Hood in Jenga full one shot will come as a later labeled Jenga, and then I'll do a story about all the boys playing UNO together, tell me if you want Cass with them(and if enough people say so I might add Steph)... :-----
"GET OUT OF MY WAY AND LET ME TUG THIS ONE OUT!!!!!!!!" Tim yelled furiously at his brother.
"IT'S my turn you b----!" Jason shouted back.
"OW!" Tim flinched hard as he got hit on the back of his head by a piece of his Jenga set.
Bruce walked into the cave to be greeted by two of his sons chasing each other with giant pieces of wood. He sighed, "I don't even want to try to get to my costume today. Steph can do patrol by herself tonight. She can handle herself fine." and with that he exited the cave.
----back at Young Justice mountain---
"Boo!" Nightwing said behind his brother.
"You aren't scaring me Nightwing. That was a pitiful attempt." Robin said.
Nightwing's smile didn't fail, "Whatever. Look, I'm going home. Blackbat's staying a little while longer."
"You're not staying?" Robin asked, turning around.
"Nah. I'm tired. I'll turn in tonight. I'm also gonna go on patrol. Batgirl's gonna be doing it tonight, and I doubt that Batman'll be out because I know that Red Hood and Red Robin are in the cave.... doing... things." Nightwing said.
"I'll come." Robin stood up.
"Nah, this is your party, I was just saying that if you're looking for me I'll be out on patrol." Nightwing said, turning for the door.
"Your doing patrol without me?" Robin asked, stopping Nightwing in his tracks.
"Uh.... Robin does patrol with Batman?" Nightwing said to his younger brother.
"Gosh, how new are you as a Robin?" Garfield asked, "Everybody knows that Robin goes on patrol with Batman!"
"Gar!! Don't be rude! I'm sorry Robin." Megan apologized for her adopted brother, then turned to Nightwing, "Dick? How new is he.... you know that Robins normally join the team after a few years!"
"It's been a year Miss M... he's fine." Nightwing said.
"He doesn't know Batman and Robin work together!" Garfield said, laughing.
"Garfield." Nightwing shushed him, "Yes he does. He just gets his Batman's mixed up."
"What?" Artemis asked.
"Just... agh!" Nightwing growled at himself, "Look. I'm leaving. I've got patrol. Batgirl, join me when you're done here. Oh and.... good luck Blackbat.... you'll need it."
"Wait! What if... what if I don't want you to leave?" Robin asked.
"Well, I've got patrol. Batman will pick you up if you really want it." Nightwing said.
"But, I want to stay with you..." Robin said.
"Aw... come on, baby bird, you've gotta fly the nest sometime. You just can't stick by my side forever." Nightwing rolled his eyes at his younger sibling.
"Fly the nest? I don't want to stay at your side!!" Robin protested.
"Then you'll have not a problem with me leaving." Nightwing said, going to the zetas.
"But... patrol?" Robin asked.
"Live a little baby bird! This is your party. Plus, you've got to learn to stay with others, not just with your sibs okay?" Nightwing asked, "You can't hang onto us forever. One day we won't be there with you. So, just try and enjoy this party huh? Meet new people, hang around Steph and the others!"
Robin sighed, "Fine."
"That's my boy." Nightwing smiled, "I'm glad you're finally joining Young Justice. You'll be a great addition."
"He seems like a very loyal boy." Kaldur said, "We'll be proud to fight by his side."
"We're honored. We'll take care of him Nightwing." Megan said.
Nightwing smiled, "I know. Bye team!"
Robin grinned as his brother shot off in a blast, then turned around to his new team, "So.... Young Justice huh?"
"Yep!" Garfield said.
"I kinda like that..." Robin smirked, "I can't wait to start training."
