Recognized: Batman 02 The robotic voice rang out in the tense silence that surrounded the Team. They had begun to restrain Damien when the voice recognized Batman's arrival.

"That's strange." Wally muttered. "He almost never comes here twice in one day, unless we have a mission." The others nodded.

They heard footsteps in the lit up corridors, and Batman strode forward. His eyes seemed to narrow when he noticed that Damien was being placed in restraints by the team.

"What are you doing?" Batman asked in his gruff voice.

The team and Damien looked up at the man who had just spoken. "This - This kid just attacked M'gann!" Supeboy shouted angrily.

"Tt. It's not my fault that this twittering fool decided to attempt to sneak up on me whilst I was trying to concentrate. Had I not have been interrupted then I wouldn't have been forced to attack her."

Batman glared at the child. "You aren't in any danger here. You don't have to worry about being attacked while you are in the mountain."

Damien glared. "I was taught to never let my guard down. So, I won't."

Batman sighed. "About that. I would like to speak to you in another room." he paused to glare at the team. "You are not to listen to us." With those parting words, Batman stalked out of the room with a reluctant Damien following behind him.

When they left, the team all glanced at each other before getting an equally mischievous glint in their eyes. "Hey," Wally began. "Who listens to Batman anyways? I wanna go listen to what Batman has to say to the little brat!"

Wally rushed out of the room with Robin and Artemis quickly following behind him. Kaldur, M'gann, and Conner each glanced at each other before sighing in unison and following after their teammates. They, to, wanted to see what Batman had to say the the young child.

They followed the trio into Robin's room where they had had Robin pull out his holographic computer and hack into the mountain's mainframe. They were all grinning evilly when Robin had finally hacked into the mountain's security system. He finally found where the duo was speaking to each other in one of the spare rooms.

"Bingo. Now, we can learn all about this little demon child." Robin exclaimed in triumph when he found them.

"Yep." Artemis agreed.

"Why did you wish to speak with me, Batman?" Damien asked the Dark Knight when they entered the room.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were my son?" Batman asked in exasperation when they were alone. The team's eyes all widened when they heard this. Robin sank to his knees. Would Bruce abandon him now that he had a real son?

Damien's eyes widened. "I... I did not think that it was important to my ultimate goal of heading back to the future."

Batman sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Well, at least tell me why I left you with the League of Shadows. If the Batman that you know is anything like I am, then he would never have let a child stay with the Shadows."

Damien looked down. "You didn't know about me until a few months ago... I was raised by my mother, Talia al' Ghul, for the first decade of my life. I was raised to be an assassin for the League of Assassins. I only met you once a certain... ah... problem arose among the league.

Batman seemed to contemplate Damien's words for a moment before sighing again. "It is obviously too dangerous here at the mountain for you. You will have to come back with me to the Batcave." Batman swept out of the room, Damien trailing after him.

The team was silent after the two bats left the screen. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. The son of Batman, the Dark Knight, raised to be an assassin? They just couldn't believe it no matter how hard they tried.

"I have to go." Robin said before he ran out of the room, down the metal hallways and to the zeta tubes.

"Robin: B01." The robotic female's voice called out to the cave of superheroes.

All was silent, the team dispersed to digest the new information in their lonesome.

Batman and Damien walked further down the hallway towards the zeta tubes.

"Father," Batman jumped when the boy next to him called him that. "You are aware that Grayson was most likely listening the entire time, right?"

Bruce sighed. "Yes, but it saves us the trouble of explaining this to him." Damien nodded as he thought.

They were going to have a fun time explaining this to Alfred.

"Oracle, I'm sorry but can you repeat what you just said?" Batman asked in a shocked stupor when he heard what Oracle had just said.

The ginger haired woman sighed. "You heard me. I think that Damien has been transported to another dimension. Where this dimension is, I'm not entirely sure."

"Great," A sarcastic voice drawled from the shadows of the Batcave. "I get called here all the way from Bludhaven, under the false pretenses that the demon baby was gone for good and we could have a party, but nooo. I overhear that the little sun spot has been transported to another dimension. Not time, dimension. And people wonder why I never want to talk to you people! Because shit like this happens!"

Oracle groaned. "Jason, if you we just going to complain why did you even bother coming?"

"Maybe because you didn't give me the whole story! Maybe do that next time!" Red Hood jumped down from the ledge.

Batman rushed forward. "Jay! I'm so happy to see you! We have to figure out how to get Dami back! And you're going to help."

Red Hood sighed. "I don't have a choice, do I?"

The entire bat family shook their heads. "Nope,you don't. You lost all free will the moment that you joined this family." Red Robin said.

"Fine, fine. I'll help you get your wayward bat back."

Batman smiled and clapped Red Hood on the back. "That's the spirit! Now you come along. I have to review the entire situation over with you now.'"

"Do I have to?" Jason whined.

"Yes."

"UGHHH"

AN

I'm sorry that this took so long, and I hope that the next one doesn't.
