Watchtower

Flash was sitting in the computer room. He was on monitor duty. Which was absolutely boring! He only had an hour left till his shift ends. Out of boredom he searched for news stations to see what was happening through the world.

He kept changing the stations and wondering what the other heroes where doing. On one station he saw superman giving a speech in his city. As usual. He thought. On another station, there was a picture of Batman's young partner, Robin, smiling at a security camera while posing heroically. I know Batman lectured him about that and he would surely remove that picture later. He chuckled at the antics of the young acrobat.

No wonder Wally likes hanging out with the kid. He's really full of life. He smiled at the thought.

As he continued flipping through stations something caught his interest. A news station that was reporting something about a 'New hero'. He listened to what the reporter was saying.

"-terious figure clad in black and blue was reported seen swinging in the air all through Jump City. Then all of a sudden the crime rates were reported to be going down. The police has listed down some of the crimes that our unknown hero stopped. It says here that he has stopped 4 robberies, 3 attempted murder, 1 jail break and saved a family from a burning building, all of which was done in one night. The police said that our mysterious hero goes by the name 'Nightwing'."

"What are you watching?" A voice from behind him asked. This made him jump from his chair and turned to the figure.

"Don't do that!" Flash exclaimed to a newly arrived Superman.

Superman watched in amusement while Flash sat in his earlier position. "So what where you watching?"

Flash looked back at the screen only to see that the report had already ended. He look back to superman and explained what was on the news.

"So... A new hero huh.." He said

"Yeah, says he goes by Nightwing."

"I think I've heard that name before... But where?" Superman thought out loud.

Shrugging his shoulders Flash said, "Beats me, but I'm kinda interested to know who this kid is."

"What are you guys talking about?" A new voice asked.

This made the Flash jump in surprise again. They turned around and saw Wonder woman and Green arrow walked up to them.

"Am I really that easy to sneak up on?" Flash asked.

"Pretty much." The other 3 in the room answered in unison.

This made Flash fume silently in his seat.

"So what were you two talking about?" GA asked.

"We were talking about a new hero whose name is really familiar. I just can't remember." Superman answered since it seems Flash was still grumbling. Then he sighed, the name of this new hero was so familiar. Maybe he'll remember later.

"Cool. What's his name?" GL asked as he entered the room.

"Nightwing"

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"What are you all doing crowding in this room?" A low growling voice asked which made them all jump.

They turned and look at a figure that really seemed to melt from the shadows which made them shudder. No matter how many times they see him do that they will never get used to it.

"Will you please let us know of your presence before you jump in on a conversation?!" Superman asked

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Batman just ignored them and strolled over to the computer. Flash quickly got off the chair and joined the others as the Bat sat on the chair. Everyone immediately started creating distance between the bat and them. The monitor room is now claimed as a Bats territory for his whole shift.

They watch him silently as he pulled up a photo that Flash instantly recognize as Robin, the one on the news he watched earlier, on the screen. Then the other hero's where trying to hold back a laugh or comment as they all knew what the Bat was up to, he was going to delete it. Suddenly the room seemed colder.

They all turned to see the Bat emanating a dark aura around him and they immediately fell silent.

"Everybody out and run!" Flash whispered urgently as they all frantically tried to escape the brooding Bat.

Once he was sure everyone was out he sighed and shook his head.

'Idiots' He thought as he continued deleting the picture of his partner from the news and all the internet websites.

He would have done this in the Batcave but Alfred said he needed to spend time with his freinds.

So that meant no Batcave. He sighed and continued his work.


Jump City

Sitting at a far corner of the coffee shop was James Jay Cruz, also known as Nightwing. Drinking his coffee, trying to hide a smile, as he listened to the news on T.V reporting of a new hero and his recent activity.

'Well not bad for a first night.' He thought as he finished his coffee.

He stood up and made his way out of the coffee shop. Today he was going to find an apartment in the city that was close to where he worked and also to make patrolling easier.

He got on his motorbike then drove off to find a new apartment.

.

.

.

Around noon he finally found a place to stay. It wasn't that big nor was it small. It was perfect.

There was a bedroom with a comfortable bed, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom.

Maybe he could add a few minor traps, just to be safe.

Thinking of traps made him remembered his room back in the titans other titans thought it was really cool to sneak in his room and 'borrow' some of his clothes. That little stunt they pulled led them to, well... Being covered in motor oil and trapped in glass cages.

Flashback

"No."

"Come on Raven you know you want to." Beastboy said. He was trying to convince Raven to join them on their little scheme.

The other titans quickly agreed to join in on the plan when he asked them. Raven somehow became the voice of reason and refused to join.

Each had to admit, they all missed the feeling they got when they tried Robin's clothes the first time.

"We'll just borrow some of his uniforms and be out of his room. You said it yourself Rae, the mask made you feel cool." Cyborg said from his place in front of the door to Robin's room, trying to hack it.

"It most certainly did too."

Raven was starting to consider their plan, wanting to feel the mask on her face. Beastboy saw her thoughtful expression and continued to press on.

"See Raven we all think it's a great idea. Robin won't be back till midnight and that's not until 8 hours from now. He won't even know we went through his stuff."

"I still think breaking into someone else's room and stealing their clothes is inappropriate."

"Don't think of it as stealing, think of it as a way to understand Robin some more. You know, he's always so secretive that we don't even know anything about him, aside for he's from gotham."

"Well if you put it that way.." Her teammates smiled at her. "But if we get caught I will say that I was forced to partake on this 'Activity'."

"That's the spirit Rae, well…. Sort of."

"Man I wonder what new gadgets Robin added to his belt." Cyborg said ignoring the 'Geek' comment from beast boy.

Then they heard a beeping sound and turned to cyborg who was done hacking the door.

"Wow, hacking the door was harder than I expected."

His teammates looked at him and answered "It is Robin's room."

Beastboy went to the door ahead of the group.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's g-ahhh!"

The others quickly ran into the room as soon as they heard Beastboy scream. What they saw made them laugh. Beastboy was covered in motor oil and was trapped inside a glass cage.

"Friend Beastboy are you alright?" Starfire asked worriedly.

"Yow, BB you okay?" Cyborg asked once he was done laughing

"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M OKAY!" Beastboy screamed but it was muffled by the glass cage he was in. "Guh! This stuff taste awful."

"That's because it's not for eating" Raven answered.

"Will you guys just help me get out of this!"

"Hold on man, I'll get yo-wooah!" Cyborg suddenly found himself also covered in motor oil and trapped in a glass cage just like Beastboy.

Starfire gasped and she and raven tried to help but both found themselves in the same situation as their two comrades.

"Well some help you guys are.." Beastboy grumbled as he wiped the oil from his face.

"Hey, we never expected traps in the first place!" Cyborg argued back.

There was someone clearing their throat and they all turn to the door and saw Robin standing there with a smirk on his face.

"Well I guess your first lesson is to expect the unexpected." He looked at their shock faces covered in motor oil. "I guess it was a good thing I set this traps here."

"Robin!" The 4 shouted in unison.

"We thought you'd be back by midnight.." Beastboy asked nervously. He knew they were in trouble, and he was the one that suggested this little break in.

"My mission finished early.." He walked over to where his team where trapped and looked at them, shadows cast to his face making him look really intimidating. "Now, What where you guys doing in my room?" His voice was deadly the one he used that made villains cower in fear.

"Rob, man it's not what you think!" Cyborg said as he was backing away into the corner of his box.

"I was forced to partake in this plot." Was Raven's calm reply, but deep down she was intimidated.

"Oh friend Robin we are sorry for entering your room without your consent." Starfire apologized.

"Whose bright idea was it to break into my room?" Robin asked in the same deadly tone he used earlier.

The rest of the three trapped titans turned to where Beast boy was trapped. He made himself a small hamster, shaking violently from fear of being maimed, in the corner of his cage.

Outside the tower you could hear a the words ' I'M SORRY!' being screamed.

End on Flashback

How he wished everything was back to the way it was. Wishing he was back at the tower listening to his teammates arguing and doing their daily activities.

He sighed. Maybe thinking about them is not that good for his health. He just has to trust them to find a way to get him home.

For now though, this is his home.


Watch Tower

The founding members of the league sat around the table waiting for the rest to arrive. They were going to have their weekly meeting and the only one missing was their red clad speedster. Which is ironic 'cause he was the fastest man alive but he always manages be late.

A red blur entered the room and occupied the last chair that was vacant. Flash had a sheepish smile and he gave a small wave, "Hi.."

"You're late."

"Yeah. Sorry about that. Me and Wally past by an all you can eat buffet and…" Flash trailed off when he saw Batman give him a glare.

"Anyway, let's get started with the meeting."

"Okay. So is there any problem here in the tower?" Superman started.

"So far it has been quiet here. There has been some reports in some places but nothing that would warrant the league to worry." J'onn said

"Star City has been boring." Was the mature answer of Green Arrow.

They all stared at him with weird looks on their faces. Except Batman, not really caring.

"What? Well it is."

"Moving on."

"Well Central City has been relatively quiet. But there are the normal ones muggings, robbing and captain cold's old schemes, you know the usual." Flash said as he put his elbows on the table and place his chin on his hands.

Batman nodded and he turned his head towards Superman.

"I guess Metropolis isn't in any danger. Nothing that I can't handle anyway. Though the drug rates are getting higher than I would be comfortable with. And I can't figure out where they're manufacturing the drugs from."

"Wait wait wait, Central city also has the same problem. I also don't know where they get it. I mean I know I destroyed the factories and laboratories that made illegal drugs." Flash said.

Superman looked deep in thought. "So that means it's not coming from city but from another."

"All that is left to do is find where the source is and stop it right?" Flash asked

Before more could be said a holographic image of the world appeared in the middle of the table. Everyone in the room turned to Batman as he started speaking.

"I already found the place where they're making the drugs and I was planning on sending the young justice to destroy the factory. This would be an easy mission for them."

"Wow bats I didn't know you cared about us to help us with this." Flash teased.

"I don't. Gotham city's drug rates are also escalating. I caught two delivery vans selling the drugs to the local gangs. The police already has them in custody and I already interrogated them and they said where their factories were located."

"Oh."

"So where is it?"

"Jump City." Was all Batman said

"Wait, Jump City? Isn't that one of the most crime infested city?" Wonder Woman asked as she recognize the name.

"It was. But it seems like the crimes there are slowly decreasing." J'onn answered. In front of him was a screen and he was reading a news article.

"Hey isn't that the city where this new kid is found?" Green Lantern asked.

"Yeah. So he's doing a pretty good job on cleaning one of the most crime infested city by himself." Green Arrow was impressed.

"But I'm more surprised at how Bats isn't gathering information about the kid."

They all turned to Batman trying to read his expression but his face was unreadable.

"I will be going with the team to observe how they work together." Was all he said before he got up and went out of the room.

They all had blank expressions on their faces

"I should have seen that coming."

"Yeah, we all know that he's not there just to observe the team, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Yup."

"Not surprised."

"Same here."

"So now I guess this meeting is over."
