Chapter 2

Damian stood up and looked over the crates deciding to take the chance in all the chaos and jump over it towards the fight. Jason and Tim quickly followed behind him.

Jason grasping his gun and Tim still holding onto one of the useless smoke bombs and a few ninja stars. Damian was of course one of the only ones with as he would say a proper weapon. As they charged together past the large crates they spotted the group of men aimlessly shooting into the air, so much for those weapons that could wipe out a town.

"Look, it's the bird!" one of the men shouted, turning to aim and shoot his gun in Damians direction, quickly in response Damian positioned his weapon in front of him to help block the bullets.
So the men already knew who Robin was, it was weird but not unexpected that they didn't know who Red Hood or Red Robin was, so that ruled out the possibility of them working with the Joker.

Running into the direction of the man who attempted shooting at him Damian slashed his katana in the air scraping the bottom end of the man's chinas he fell to the floor startled.

"Tch, pathetic" Damian scoffed. Jason and Tim were already also in action. Jason was heading to ram into one of the men who looked insane shooting and yelling into thin air as if someone was even there in the first place, and Tim followed behind.

It was obvious enough Damian was incontrol of his own situation, strangely enough the men weren't as big of a threat as originally thought.

-

Now Grayson was really confused, the team was supposed to be sent on a simple recon mission, just some news of the normal baddies in the area causing trouble, nothing they couldn't handle. The men they were targeting had specifically stolen from a bank nearby. They would usually let the cops handle it but it seemed like good training for the team and who were they to complain about getting out and fighting.

Apparently though these weren't just some out of the ordinary crooks and they were a group the team has fought in the past and were supposed to still be in prison so seeing them out made no sense.

"Miss Martian, can you set up the mind links?" Dick asked in a whisper into his earbud, they finally arrived at the drop site and they had settled outside where they assumed their targets were.

"Of course, Robin" she replied quietly, and quickly the earbuds they all had in became useless and they could speak to one another without causing unnecessary noise.

Looking forward, Dick was able to spot the three men mindlessly talking unaware of the team ahead of them preparing to attack.

"Hey so like, why are we even bothering with these losers again? Can't they send someone else like the league?" Wally bluntly said as soon as they had the links hooked up.
"And why exactly would they send the league to take down some average robbers?" Grayson snapped back.
"Okay yeah true, but come on you come on Robs you gotta agree this is totally lame" the boy argued "and we need more challenges! We always get stuck with the easy stuff"

Even though Wally wasn't wrong there Dick still cringed a bit at the ambition, as adorable as it was the whole reason they got stuck with the easy work was ironically because of how much they argued against it.

Artemis spoke before they could continue "Can you two stop arguing, we need to focus."

Dick sighed, "Miss M, can you go in as a distraction? We'll follow behind" she kindly replied and a "Yes" and he watched as she disappeared before his eyes. There the team could watch as she started towards the three men. Accidentally M'gann hit into a crate and it pushed off from where it was perched drawing the attention of the three men who quickly panicked.

"Miss Martian, are you okay?" Aqualad asked, looking upwards to where the crate had fallen assuming it was M'gann who had knocked it over.

"Huh? oh yes I'm-" gunshots lunged forwards in M'gann's direction from one of the men who had taken the initiative to stupidly attack immediately. "Woah!" M'gann gasped moving out of the way of the shooting before she could get shot by the crazy man.

Superboy looked on more than displeased by the sight. "Come on! Let's move in and help M'gann!" he yelled brashly running in. His worry was obvious enough to Robin that he'd excuse the careless attack. However his eyes widened and he pulled Conner back.

"Look, it's the bird!" I heard one of the men taunt, Dick assumed they had finally spotted us and made the comment at him.
Dick realized it was finally time to go into action, "Ready gu-" just as Dick was about to give the command to go Wally stood up in shock and interrupted him, voice pitched and the shock very much evident.

"There are already people fighting?!" he yelled, the group turned to the direction he was looking to see what he had been on about and he was right.

Three other boys were already in action against the crooks. Jumping over the crate he was hidden behind Robin pulled out his staff and threw it into the back of one of the distracted men. He looked at the fight boys, one of them had a very distinctive red helmet covering his head, nothing to special for the rest of his costume in all honesty, it looked like something wally would pull out of his closet for a day out.

The boy working beside him however was sporting a red and black outfit, a cape that was similar to his own, he had a black domino mask and an all too familiar belt setup, a strange symbol, no it was a symbol of a bird in the center of the belts.

Finally the last one who also seemed to be the youngest, Grayson would argue he's even younger than him.. and shorter. Dick probably had at least two inches on the kid. This one was also wearing a mask similar to the other ones but his was a shade of green. Dick would argue the kids outfit was all too similar to his own when he was younger if it wasn't for the black hood and big combat boots. More specifically this kid had pants unlike younger Robin. Yet what really caught his eyes was the symbol on the boy's chest, a large R.

No way.

"DUDE! You have a clone!?" Wally yelled looking at the kid as well. The boy definitely wasn't a clone, however he definitely shared the same symbol as Robin.

The old man Dick had attacked caught eyes with him recovering from the attack, "Hey look we got two birds" he taunted swinging his fists at Grayson while he was distracted by Wally's comment and the kid. As Grayson was punched back he was preparing himself for a heavy fall but instead was greeted by someone holding up his back.

"Robin, stay focused" Aqualad said, helping him up, nodding. Grayson went right back to fighting with the man he could deal with the new group of boys lanter, besides they didn't seem to be enemies at least not yet.

Upon hearing gunshots Aqualad paused from behind Robin, surprised to see the gunshots weren't from the enemies weapons. The red hooded man was shooting carelessly at one of the men who wasn't so quick to dodge. Kaldur's eyes widened. Did he kill him? Maybe they were bad guys after all.

"Robin watch out!" he heard the red hooded man yell, Grayson, who didn't know where the yell came from, quickly turned to see what had been meant. Yet instead he watched as the younger boy jumped up away from a large blast created by one of the weapons.

"Did he just call that kid Robin?" Artemis asked confused while landing an arrow into one of the man's shoulders knocking them down.

"I think so?" Dick replied with just as much confusion.
The kid swung a katana at the man Artemis knocked over and finally the guy was knocked out. That was the last one, geez this day was a lot more complicated than Graydon would've expected it to be.

"Who are those guys?" Superboy asked as he walked up to M'gann who had finished breaking the last one of the weapons.
"I'm not sure" M'gann replied, finally getting a look at the boys herself.

-

They had finished taking out most of the remaining bad guys. Well Jason and Damian might've done a lot more "taking out" then the others had. The Young Justice team had paused after finishing off the last guy and finally turned over to the three boys who were looking just as confused as the team.

"Alright! Who are you guys" Artemis practically screeched, marching over to the boys bow up and arrow forward, specifically forward at Jason's face.

Jason holding his hands up and in a particular sassy tone spoke "Look sweet cheeks we don't want to fight" looking over to his left side and seeing Damians defensive stance and hand
holding his weapon tight made him think twice. "Well I don't wanna fight"

Tim rolled his eyes and gave Damian a disapproving stare as if it would change anything. "No we don't want to fight, we just ah want to know where we are and who you guys exactly are" Damian rolled his eyes, it was obvious who the lot were one of them was wearing a super symbol on their chest for god's sake. He turned to look over at the other groups Robin and his eyes widened.

"So like.. are you a clone?" Wally questioned speeding over towards Damian scanning him over and finally pointing towards the big 'R' symbol on the side of his chest.

Damian turned to the Red head offended and scoffed.
"What did you just call me?"

"Alright Alright, let's not fight" M'gann interrupted, no longer invisible, pushing herself in between the too. Wally really needed to learn to not push his luck, especially if thag involved a very agitated little kid with a sword. "My name's Miss Martian, and these are my friends" she smiled turning towards the other group, "Kid Flash, Artemis, Superboy Aqualad, and finally Robin."

Now that got their attention, Damian, Tim and Jason all stared at the group, faces seemingly blank. There's no way what the martian said was right, it wouldn't make any sense, but it would explain the strange machine, the flashing lights.. oh my god. Jason looked like he was about to burst.

".. Did you just say Robin?"

-

The way the man in the red mask leaned over to point at him left an uncomfortable feeling in Dicks stomach. The two other boys next to him were still standing there shell shocked, like they've seen a ghost.

What does he mean by "Did you just say Robin?" was he mocking them. Dick didn't want to sound egotistical or anything but someone not knowing who the boy wonder is while smack down in Gotham? It was weird. Then again the man said the name with a sense of familiarity so maybe he did know who Robin was and he just wanted to confirm, still weird none the less.

"Yes, I'm Robin" Grayson confirmed. Now the boys looked like they were about to start crying from laughter. What the hell's so funny?

Then they broke in laughter, Jason turned to Damian then to Dick. Two Robin's? God this was hilarious, he couldn't believe it, sure crazy shit happens to them all the time but time travel (or dimensional travel, given Dick wasn't sporting his classic green undies)? that's a pretty rare event and there was no way he wasn't going to milk the fuck out of it.

"No way" Tim mumbled staring at the other Robin's outfit, if he had to guess that was Dick Grayson, but if his outfit looked so different, time travel was probably not likely. Dimensional travel? it's been awhile since they've done anything like that, maybe this wouldn't be too bad. "He looks kind of emo" Jason whispered pulling Tim out of his thoughts, and to be honest? Tim had to agree. Grayson was sporting a dark red and black suit the only colorful thing there was his camp and even then it didn't look so bright, he kind of reminded Tim of Damian's suit except Damian's still had that Robin flare, this suit was entirely different.

Grayson crossed his arms unpleased with the remark about his appearance. Tim noticed just how small Dick looked infront of them.

"Oh wow I can't believe how short he is"
"He's still taller then the demon br- ow.." Jason laughed before Damian kicked him in the shin making him yelp in pain. "Shut up, Todd"

Jason strolled over to the younger version of their brother and leaned on his shoulder, making him way more uncomfortable then he already was. Tim noticed the look in Jason's eyes and before he could stop him from making a horribly stupid decision.

"Dude dude you aren't gonna believe this right— we're your brothers"

Yep and there's the stupid decision. They'd better pray this wasn't Time Travel or Jason just massively fucked up.
Dick slapped the man off his shoulder, brothers? Last time he checked his family was dead and his parents were fairly in love no way they'd cheat on one another, especially not three times. Plus he really doubted he could ever be related to any of these weirdos. So who the hell were these guys and what did they have to gain from making such an absurd lie?

The team seemed to also be processing what was just said but unlike Robin they believed the man,

"Brothers!?—"

This was going to be a long day.
