Okay; so I did have this up before, but after several reviews that were hitting hard with hatred for my OC, I decided to remove her from the story and see how it goes.

The Change

Undisclosed Location

Blockbuster was standing around, not moving at all and he was ready to be given an order. The use to be scientist had been sprung from Belle Rev by the very people he use to work for in genetic cloning and the development of the same serum that transformed him from Dr. Mark Desmond into the strong creature he was now.

"Hello, Desmond; I see you had no trouble getting here." A familiar voice stated and with that seven figures surrounded him.

Desmond/Blockbuster didn't say anything as he looked the leader of this group in the eyes. Soon enough the shortest of the human shaped figures came walking forward into the light.

"You're just lucky we don't kill you now." The small figure said, an evil laugh behind it.

"It has taken beaucoup time, but the cure to the Blockbuster serum is compléter. Monsieur Mallah, please administer the cure." The domed looking figure said, and soon a large gorilla came out with a syringe in his hand.

Monsieur Mallah moved right beside Blockbuster and pushed the titanium needle through the thick hide that was now how Desmond looked. The liquid within was injected into him and soon a transformation started. In the same time it took to change into Blockbuster two and a half years ago; Blockbuster changed back into Dr. Mark Desmond.

"Welcome back, doctor." The leader of the group said.

"I hope you returned me to this form so I can get my revenge on the…..brats….that forced my hand and made me change into Blockbuster." Dr. Desmond said as he found his voice.

"I'm sure you can find some way." A feminine voice said, a bit of seduction in the tone.

"Yes, infact I know just how I can get back at the sidekicks," Desmond said. "and I'll start with Robin." Desmond said, and with that he headed out. "I just have to finish an experiment I started before I transformed." The scientist whispered to himself.

Three Months Later

The original seven members of the team had received a rare treat…..a day off. They had decided that since the others knew the boy wonder's secret identity, they wanted to see what he could REALLY do on a trapeze.

"I don't get it, we saw his natural talent at Haly's Circus; why are we seeing it again." Conner asked, curious about the subject.

Dick Grayson gave his signature laugh "That was NOTHING compared to what my family could do. Even though I was just a kid, I know the whole routine."

"I believe that you are just showing off, Richard." Kaldur'ahm remarked.

"Just being myself, Kaldur." Dick said; a grin on his face as big as Joker's. "And I've told you before, you can call me Dick."

"You're not scared of doing the same routine that your family died doing?" M'gann asked.

"It's taken some time, but no; I'm not scared anymore." Dick said, and with that he headed out to get on his old Dan Danger outfit.

Just as everyone was starting to get a bit worried for their 'little brother'; Bruce Wayne started coming down the stairs from the manor. The Dark Knight was happy to allow Dick to reveal his real life to the ORIGINAL team members after seeing that they had become a family.

"Thank you for allowing us here, Mr. Wayne." Kaldur said as he turned to look Dick's father right in the eyes.

"You may call me, Bruce. I'm just glad that Dick has a group of friends that share the same double life he does." Bruce told the Atlantean.

Conner couldn't believe it; three years ago he was in a pod within Cadmus, and then three young heroes came to save him. Now, three years to the day; he was inside the famous Batcave. Aqualad, Red Arrow, and Kid Flash had been in the famous cave in their younger days, but it was never any less impressive. Artemis and M'gann's jaws dropped quickly as they saw the 'playroom' that the youngest hero had to train in.

"Yea, kinda whelming isn't it." Dick said, coming back, ready to hit the trapeze.

"It's amazing, it truly is." M'gann said.

"Alright, well keep your eyes on the trapeze, I'll be doing my thing in no time." Dick said as he turned and walked over to the nearby tall ladder.

Sure, Conner, M'gann, Artemis and Roy had seen him on the trapeze back when they saved his old home from closing down because of Parasite's thefts in Europe, but that was nothing compared to the stories they had read about his family's act. Suddenly, they saw Dick swing out, and he went into a FLAWLESS routine, even scaring the girls a couple of times. It didn't take long for him to finish up with a quadruple flip. He descended the ladder and as the young hero turned he saw his friends' faces all had looks of shock and awe.

"What, that was whelming at best." Dick said with a smile on his face.

"Dude, I've never seen you do anything like that, not even as Robin." Wally said.

"You've been hiding your true potential in the felid, huh." Roy said; a smirk on his face.

"You know me, Roy."

Just then, their recreation time was over as the Batcomputer started blaring an alert. Batman was quick to return to the cave and the team was around to see what was going on as the boy wonder got ready for some action. After typing in his code, Batman saw that Mammoth was in Gotham, as was Brick.

"So, we have to deal with two powerhouses, this is going to be asterous." Robin sarcastically said as he came walking out of the changing area; making sure his utility belt was secured.

"I'm sending ALL of you; I will alert you if I pick up any other Rouges." Batman said.

The Team was shocked at first…Batman was allowing other heroes to work in his town.

"We're on it, Batman." Robin said; and with that, the seven of them headed out.
