Can't Break my Firewall
A/N
Why am I still updating this?
Oh that's right...I don't want to update other things. When you procrastinate on your procrastinations...
That's right.
I put the "Pro" in procrastination.

"I take it that it did not go well." Batman noted, trying not to allow himself to smile.
"Why was I not allowed to go along." Superboy scowled, just finding out that there was a mission he was not part of, and to say he was upset would be an understatement.
"I will explain once our guests have arrived." Was all that Batman said to the clone.
"Guests?" Kid flash frowned but then remembered the mission they were just on "How can you stand knowing that kid is under your city Batman? He is a nut job" Kid Flash started up, but flinched away when he received a ever so scary bat glare. "Uh..what I mean is..uh...the kid is ..unique?"
"What my friend is trying to say is that Rat seems to have no moral compass."
"You could say that again." Red Arrow grumbles, still humiliated that he underestimated Rat and got his ass handed to him. "Why even did you want us to talk to him, it is your city and your problem right?" he said sourly "And why did we need more information on CADMUS, I thought you said that the League would personally go through the floors."
"Dude" Kid flash gawked, not believing the Red Arrow was talking to Batman.
"You're right." Batman nodded. "I did not need any information on CADMUS. I wanted information on Rat."
"That was not the mission you gave us." Kid Flash blinked in confusion. After just witnessing the dark haired teen, he realized that they still did not know anything about him other than he is good with computers and he had a mouth on him. "Why do you need to know about him? Are we going to take him down?"
"Sign me up for that." Red Arrow smirks, all too willing for a chance to redeem himself. "The brat won't get lucky this time."
"You are not 'taking him down'. Which brings us to another matter that needs to be brought to attention." Just as Batman finished, the Zeta Tubes announced Martian Manhunter and a guest. Martian Manhunter stepped in with a girl deeming the same green complexion and similar outfit. The girl nervously stepped forward while Batman introduced her. "This is Miss Martian, she is the niece of Martian Manhunter."
" Hello...I am M'gann M'orrzz , But you can call me Megan, that's a human name that is similar if that makes it easier for you." She looked over to Superboy and gave a sheepish smile, her clothes changing into a color scheme like his. " I like your outfit..."
"M'gann here will be joining up with this team, I am sure that there will be no complications with this." Batman spoke, knowing that no one would actually question him. However, he found it odd that the team seemed to gawk at their new member.
"Rat mentioned a martian..he knew!" Kid Flash felt a twist in his insides. Rat seemed to have information on all of them and that completely unsettled him. If he wasn't so creeped out, he would have flirt with the hot new teammate, but he was just in too much shock. The rest of his team must have thought the same thing because they tensed, unsure glances being shared back and forth. It made everyone question to what extent what the teen knew. It would be a shorter list if they asked what the teen didn't know.
"Rat?" M'gann asked, not sure if the others were talking about a person or an actual earth rodent.
"Rat is a priority asset that I am putting the five of on his tail." Batman confirmed "I did not send Superboy because I was hoping that Rat did not know about CADMUS yet, which he actually has."
"So you DO want us to take him down." Red Arrow frowned, why else would Batman want them to tail him, Why would anyone need a group of five to tail anyone?
"If possible no. Though it is unlikely for him to cooperate, I want him to be returned here so we can have ....a talk."
"Then why not bring him yourself?" Kid Flash frowned. "I think you would definitely have more..'persuasion.'" He said persuasion with air quotes.
"I believe that those less intimidating would be best." Martian Manhunter cut in. "Though Rat is a threat, he is still a child and it shows in his actions."
"So you are saying that we were chosen because you think we can relate to that sewer dweller?" Red arrow scowled. There was no way he was going to 'play nice' with a fellon.

Dick sighed a bit and looked up from his screen, he looked like he was working, but in reality he was playing minesweeper. "I see you brought the whole gang this time. I thought I told you that I was not going to do business with you." He felt a presence in his mind as he spoke and frowned only a little before glancing over at the martian who looked a little more than baffled at the fact that she could not enter his head. "Darling, my firewall is impenetrable. If you want information, it would be simpler to just ask." He closed the laptop, leaving the space completely void of light.
"Could you please turn on the lights?" Aqualad asked
"I don't understand why, last time I checked you had stealthware that had night vision equipment. Which, I hope if we do ever have business, you would consider it to trade. "Dick hummed a bit, fingers twitching "Man I would love to tear it apart and see how it ticks, who knows, I could probably improve it." He got up and turned on the lights "But since you asked ever so kindly, I will turn on the lights." He sat back down and opened his laptop again, going back to his minesweeper. "I am busy as you can see, I am working with explosives that could cause my demise."
"You have bombs?!" Kid flashed gawked , panic rising when he realized the cramped room would not be the most ideal place for a bomb to go off.
"None on me..though I do have an empty canister of both joker venom and fear gas.-- I too like to collect souvenirs my nosy little speedster." Dick blinked. "Oh where are my manners? I forgot to offer you a souvenir from your last visit." He went to his pile and pulled out a familiar pair of red goggles.
It didn't take long for Kid flash to realize that Rat had stole them without him realizing. They were on his head, when did he do that? " Give those back!" He sped over and snatched them from the boy's hand.
"I was going to return them..eventually." Dick cackled a bit, pointing at the goggles. I inlaid some software and a new skeleton, I had to get some new lens in to match the needs...guess who now has thermal energy detecting goggles? It's no x-ray vision.."Dick glanced at Superboy "But it is still asterous You're welcome Wallice."
"Gee man than----" Wally froze, realizing the name that just came out of Rat's mouth. Rat knew their identities.
"Oh don't look so surprised. I hacked into League files years ago..I always know what is going on" Dick clapped his hands together, giving a cheeky grin. "And I know for a fact, that I am not going back to your little sidekick clubhouse."
