A/N: Okay, I forgot to put this in last chapter. I probably will when I edit. Batgirl, instead of going to Watchtower with the others, went home.

EDIT: I had left something out. I just fixed it. Thank you to scarlett mist for letting me know about my error with not telling what happened to Matt and Billy.

About ten minutes after talking to Robin, the team and Roy had been pretty much forced out of the room. Actually, Batman asked them... which was kinda the same thing, though. Nobody wanted to disobey an order from Batman. When they had exited the room, Kid Flash had been the one to see Batman had walked up next to his ward.

Matt was still where they had left him; in the hallway, sitting on the floor. He hadn't moved at all, and his face was expressionless. M'Gann walked over to him immediately.

"Matt, are you alright?" she asked. He just shrugged.

She was about to say something else when the Flash walked into the room, smiling. "Hey. Bats asked me to bring Matt back to where he's staying." he told them.

The brunette teen immediately pulled away from the martian, and walked over to the fastest man alive. Before they left the room, he turned to the Young Justice Team. "Thanks. My sister might not be alive... but I guess death is better than working for the Joker and going insane." Without waiting for a response, he turned around to follow Flash out of the room.

A few minutes later, they heard the zeta beams. They were all frozen for a moment before the door to where Robin and Batman were opened. The two walked out, and past the Team without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Conner asked, walking after them. Curious, the rest of the team followed.

Batman ignored them, while Robin replied. "Back to Gotham; we have to clear my name. The sooner we get it done, the better." he told them, before rushing ahead. The others followed, and got there just in time to see them walk into the tubes.

"Recognized: Batman 02. Robin B01"

The Caped Crusaders disappeared, and the Team walked over to the tubes to return to the Mountain. Roy pushed past them first.

"Recognized: Red Arrow B07"

"I'm not going to the Mountain." the archer told them, before disappearing.

"Bye to you too." Wally grumbled, walking over up next. "I'm going home." he told them. "I'll see you at the Mountain tomorrow."

"Recognized: Kid Flash B03"

The Dark Knight, and Dick Grayson had immediately gone to the Gotham Police Station. Of course, they had immediately gone after the boy, but once Batman had explained about the murders, and they had actually gotten a confession out of the Joker (he had been laughing the whole time), they had returned home.

"Where's Alfred?" Richard asked the second they had stepped in.

Bruce followed through the doors after his ward. "He's away with family for a week. He should be back tomorrow or the day after." he told him, turning away from him and closing the door.

When he turned around, his ward was gone. Guessing where he had disappeared to, he walked upstairs to the boys room. As he knew he would be, he was right there.

"You know, it's not like you were gone forever." Bruce said, walking in and sitting next to him. "Nothings changed."

Dick looked up at the closest thing he had to a father. "I know; it's just felt like a long time. In my head... time passed to slowly. It was so confusing, and lonely. I was so scared for a while." he said, looking at the floor.

Bruce was about to respond when he heard the bell ring. He must have left the gate open, and someone walked up to the door instead. Leaving Dick sitting on the bed, he walked downstairs to the door. Opening the door, he was shocked. Standing there was the last person he would expect to see.

Once Bruce walked out of the room, Dick stood up to follow. He was curious about who was at the door. What if it was Gordon or something? If it was, he'd want to see what he had to stay.

He stopped when he reached the top of the stairs, and looked down to see a girl. Bruce seemed surprised to see her. She had scene black hair, and blue eyes, which were outlined with dark eyeliner. She had a short-sleeve graphic T, with a dark gray sweater over it. She had skinny jeans, and a pair of osiris sneakers. The girl looked familiar.

"What are you doing here?" Bruce asked, as he invited her in.

She smiled at him. "I decided that it shouldn't stay secret. I won't say anything if you don't think it's a good idea, though."

He stepped back a bit so they couldn't see him. He had no idea what they were talking about. What secret? Who was that girl?

"It's up to you. I think he would be find either way." he heard Bruce say. "I would go get him, but there's no need since he's listening in right now." he added. Dick froze for a moment, before walking forward so they could see him.

"How did you know I was listening?"

"I'm the damn Batman. Take a guess." Bruce told him, with a rare smile. Dick's eyes widened. "It's alright. She knows." he said, noticing his reaction.

Instead of questioning how she know, he rushed down the stairs. "So, who's this? What secret were you guys talking about?" he asked, looking at the girl. She was slightly taller than him.

The girl smiled at him. "I'm actually surprised you don't remember me. I had only known you since you were born." she said, amused. He must have looked totally confused, because he rolled her eyes. "Dick, it's me, Billy."

He was still confused. He remembered her, but he wasn't positive about who she was.

"Er... about 5 years ago I pulled that prank-"

As soon as she said that, he remembered. "NO!" he yelled. Now it was her turn to look confused. "Never speak of it."

After a moment, Billy grinned. "So you remember me."

Dick nodded. "You're my cousin. Where have you been staying?" he asked her, while Bruce watched the two.

"Some orphanage here in Gotham." his cousin replied. "I know you're probably curious about this. I know that he's Batman and you're Robin because the man who runs the orphanage planned to expose you."

Why he hadn't heard this, the Boy Wonder didn't know. Shouldn't he know that there was the chance he and his mentor would be exposed? What did that have to do with her coming here, anyways? Was she just warning them?

"I know you're confused. While you were off being controlled by the Joker, I had stepped up to be a temporary Robin. Mr. Rylen, thats the one who runs the orphanage, had known Dick Grayson was missing. So, he waited for the Boy Wonder to be missing too. I found Batman one night, and told him my plan to make sure you two weren't exposed. It took a while, but he finally agreed." Billy said with a smile. "I meant to stay secret at first: help, then get away. I had pretended to be Rick... I forgot the last name I used."

"Rick after your dad?" Dick asked, and she nodded. "I haven't gone to visit him in forever."

Billy shrugged. "Neither have I." she said, before catching sight of a clock. Her eyes got wide. "Crap... I have to go." she said, starting to rush towards the door.

Dick quickly grabbed his cousins arm. "You just got here! Why do you have to go?" he asked. He noticed she winced as he grabbed her. He was not holding on tight enough to hurt her.

"I just have to, alright? I'll stop by again some time, alright?" she asked, trying to pull her arm away. He narrowed his eyes, and slid her long sleeve up a bit. It revealed her arm, covered in bruses.

Her face turned red. "Must have been from the Joker." she said, before pulling away, and turning around towards the door. "Thank you, Mr. Wayne, for letting me speak with my cousin." she thanked Bruce, before opening the door and rushing out.

Dick watched as she ran off, and disappeared. "Hey, what do you think of about a surprise visit to the orphanage?" he asked after a few seconds.

An hour later, the two of them were outside of the orphanage Bruce had tracked Billy to with the Bat-Computer. It wasn't very hard. Now they were waiting from a distance, while she walked inside the orphanage.

Bruce then started walking towards the front door, with Dick close behind. As they got close to the door, the teen ran ahead and knocked on the door. They waited a moment before a pretty lady opened the door half way. She must have been in her early 20's; maybe she worked there.

She looked surprised. "Mr. Wayne! This is a surprise. Come right in, Mr. Rylen will be here in a minute." she said, opening the door wider, so the two could walk in.

It looked warm. The floor was wooden with a glossy finish. The walls were a light shade of green. The pictures all over the walls were of various children, or their paintings.

Dick was surprised. He had expected somewhere cold, that no kid wanted to be. "This place is actually nice." he said, taking a few steps in. "I wonder if the people here are, t-" he was cut off as he heard a yell from another room.

"I did NOT give you PERMISSION to go ANYWHERE!" A raised voice said. It was a male, that was obviously angry. Curious, Dick walked over to a door, and started peering in through the key hole.

Bruce walked over. "Don't-"

"He's yelling at Billy." Dick said, waving him away. The billionaire didn't talk again, so he could listen as well. She said something else, but it was muffled.

"No Excuses!" said the same raised voice, and they heard a slapping noise, and a few seconds later a crash. "You WILL listen to me and follow the rules. You are NOT to go there again."

Richard looked angry. "He just hit her, and then shoved her against the wall." he told Bruce, quietly so he wasn't heard. He then quickly stood back from the key-hole and rushed back to the entrance door. The billionaire followed, knowing that they must have been getting ready to come out to see them.

Sure enough, Mr. Rylen came out moments later. Billy hadn't come out. He walked over to the two, smiling. "Bruce Wayne. How can I help you?" he asked. It was hard for Dick not to glare at the man.

"We're looking for a Billy Grayson." he said, and Mr. Rylen pulled off a complete look of surprise.

"No Grayson here; you must have the wrong orphanage."

Dick was about to argue, when Bruce put his hand on his shoulder. "Alright, sir. We'll look in another. Goodbye." he told him, before opening the door, and leading his ward out. Once they were back at where Alfred was waiting in the car, he pulled out his phone.

"Who are you calling?" Dick asked him.

"Child Services."

A week later, it had been in the paper about the man who ran the orphanage being kicked out. He was replaced by the lady who had opened the door for them.

But just the day before, they had seen that two of the kids at the orphanage. They were Matt Ray and Billy Grayson. Batman and Robin had looked around for them in Gotham at night, but hadn't seen them at all. They assumed the two had left Gotham City.

Dick hadn't head anything about the two until a postcard arrived, from Jump City. They told him they had moved to a different city. Not to fight crime, just to get away and hide somewhere. They also promised to write regularly. Their only request from the Boy Wonder was for him not to tell anyone. The team was fine... but nobody else.

After getting the card, and wsa satisfied that they were fine, he went to the Mountain. Bored, he had decided to go see his friends. Fortunately, this was a time when they were all there. The minute he stepped through the tubes, he expected Wally to run up to him right away. Instead, it was Superboy.

"Be careful" he warned, before running off back to the living room. Robin frowned. The music was blasting, playing a song he knew well. 'I'm Sexy and I Know It'. A little worried about what he might see, he turned into the Living Room...

To see everyone was dancing. Wally and Artemis were dancing together, M'Gann was dancing with Conner, Zatanna and Roy were each off dancing on their own, and Kaldur was simply sitting on a chair, reading.

Zatanna looked over, and smiled. She ran over, and grabbed his hands, and pulled him over into the living room. "Good to see you're back, Boy Wonder." she said over the music that was blasting. Nobody else noticed he was back yet. At the moment, he didn't really care. He danced along with Zatanna, a grin plastered on his face. He took off his shades, and tossed them over to the couch. Then, like his friends, he danced along to the song.

This time, he knew things were back to normal for good.
