A.N.: So, this story is from a plot bunny Fighter1357 posted and offered to anyone. I'm going to try my hand at writing this. It's a cool idea. For this story, the one thing you need to know is that both Robin and Roy were accepted into the Justice League but Robin went with the Team on the mission. Roy wasn't parasited but he escaped and went on the run with Robin.

Summary: Red Arrow wasn't a clone, he was. The mole was Robin the entire time. Auld Acquaintance and Season 2 if things had happened differently.

Disclaimer: I do not own, end of story.

Ch. 1: Broken Wings

"We have reason to feel proud of yesterday's victories," Kaldur said, leading the team into Mount Justice. "But one thing has not changed."

"Somehow the Light is still getting inside information on us," Artemis said.

"Well at least we know none of us are the mole," Wally said.

"That is correct," Batman said. "The mole… was Robin."

They all gasped in shock as he brought up a hologram of his former partner.

"Robin!"/"No way!" Kaldur and Wally exclaimed. They had known their youngest team member for years. They had never thought he would be the mole. It was impossible.

"Batman that cannot be," Kaldur said. "He's your protégé. We have all known him for years."

"Unfortunately the Robin we have known for the last four years is another Project Cadmus clone," Red Tornado said.

"We've learned the real Robin was abducted and replaced soon after becoming my sidekick," Batman said. This caused Wally and Kaldur to narrow their eyes. Batman never called Robin his sidekick, ever. "The clone was preprogrammed with a drive to join the Justice League, which is why he tried his hardest to become leader of this team. This Robin had no idea he was a clone or a traitor, and his unconscious programming drove him to become League-worthy. When he was finally admitted, his secondary programming kicked in and he attempted to betray the League to Vandal Savage. Fortunately I had already deduced Robin was a clone. We were prepared."

"Savage was subdued, but Robin escaped," Red Tornado explained. "He is now a fugitive, armed and dangerous.

"If you guys hadn't rescued me from Cadmus …," Conner said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"What, what happened to the real Robin?" Zatanna asked. The Team glanced at her sympathetically. It was obvious she had had a crush on Robin.

"We don't know," Batman answered. "He isn't at Cadmus. We have to face the possibility that the real Robin is dead."

"The clone Robin, the Team will find him," Kaldur said after a moment of silence.

"Negative," Batman replied. "Robin is a member of the Justice League now. Leave him to us." Batman shut off the hologram as a beep came through his earpiece. "I'm needed on the Watch Tower. Tornado, stay with the kids." With that Batman left the cave.

Zatanna rubbed her head and Kaldur turned to the Team. "Clone or no clone, Robin is one of us. We will go after him," he said telepathically.

(Okay, for the sake of my sanity I'm going to do a time skip here to after the battle. Assume everything goes the same but with Roy and Robin together when they are found with Robin being the clone and not Roy.)

He was the mole. Robin trembled in horror as he remembered what he had done. Everything that had happened was his fault. He had almost brought down the Justice League. Burying his head in his arms, he curled up into his bed in his room on the Watch Tower that he had had since Batman had first brought him here, years before the Team was formed. Right now he didn't know what to think about everything he had learned. He just wanted to forget, like he had after he had watched his family die. He hadn't been a child since that day. Now though, he felt exactly like the young boy who had watched his parents fall to their deaths in front of his eyes. Tears fell from his face as he buried his head into his pillow.

"You're still you, even if you are a clone," a familiar deep voice said, causing him to tense. HE felt a familiar hand rest on his back as his adoptive father sat beside him. "You're my son. Nothing can change that."

Robin blinked and turned, staring into the face of Bruce Wayne, not Batman.

"He never even got a chance to really be happy," Robin said. "He would have still been grieving over his, our parents." He stared at the wall behind Bruce, not looking at him. "He was only nine."

"Yes, but it still happened, Dick," Bruce said.

"Don't call me that!" Robin exclaimed.

Bruce raised an eyebrow. "I doubt you want me to call you Richard," he said. He reached over and picked up something by Robin. He held it up to reveal Robin's mask. "and you're not Robin right now. So what should I call you?"

"I…I don't know," he said. "I'm not sure who I am anymore."

"That's okay. That's expected," Bruce said. "What's important is that you keep moving forward and find out the answers for yourself. In the end only you can decide who you are."

Robin finally met Bruce's blue eyes with his own.

"You did a great job today," Bruce said. "I guess I need to repair my as you called it "Whelmingly penetrable vault."

Robin chuckled weakly. "Yeah, sorry."

"Don't be. From what I can tell that little stunt saved the day and finally accomplished something we've been trying for months," Bruce said.

Robin stared at him quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"Last I checked two kryptonians were finally having a very much needed talk."

Robin grinned slightly. "Finally," he said. His expression darkened as the thought of his fellow clone brought his thoughts back to the one topic his father hadn't touched on. "He's most likely dead, isn't he?" Robin asked, already knowing the answer.

"That won't stop us from looking for him," Bruce said. "The Light underestimated one thing when they captured him. If he's anything like you he'll find a way to escape."

Robin nodded. "I hope you're right," he said.

Little did they know, right as those words were spoken a raven-haired boy opened his bright blue eyes for the first time in four years as the Light was moving his pod. It was time.

A.N.: Love it, hate it? I want to hear your thoughts. I had a hard time at the beginning with the mole reveal scene. I couldn't make it work how I wanted. I loved writing the Daddy Bats part however. Sorry if Bruce seems out of character but I couldn't resist. Special shout out to Fighter1357 for offering this idea. Hope you like it. Don't worry. There's a lot more where that come from. This is only the beginning after all.
