It took three hours for the boys and Peter to get to HQ, traffic was at its worst at noon. But the boys couldn't help but worry every step of the way.

Peter wouldn't tell the boys exactly what was going on since it was 'too big' to explain. So they boys just had to sit in the car, anxiously.

Did Bruce find a way home? Was he here? Did Tony find out about their secret identities? Was it the Court of Owls? Is someone dead?!

Okay it probably wasn't the last one but with the bat boys, anything was possible.

Once the car had stopped the boys practically ran to Tony's lab, where Peter said he would be.

"Guys! Finally, what took so long?"

"Traffic." All five said at the same time. Tony sighed, knowing too well about it. One time he missed two conference meetings because of traffic. Ah, New York.

"So what's going on exactly?" Damian asked as he took a seat on a bench. Tony sprinted to the big computer and clicked a few keys on the keyboard.

"So, good news. Peter successfully made a prototype of the device that will bring you home." Tony said with a proud smile. Happy that his mentee was able to do such a task.

"Hell yeah Peter!" Tim yelled as he gave his friend a bone crushing hug. Peter coughed out a laugh and wrapped his arms around Tim. Tim was ecstatic that his new friend had found a way to get him home.

"How'd you even do it that fast, we've only been gone an hour?" Jason asked with a lingering smile on his face.

"I actually started to make the prototype when Tim suggested to reset the tracking device with alien tech while also-"

"Yeah I don't care how you did it. But, thanks." Jason wasn't one to give out thank you's but what Peter did was something Jason will be forever grateful for. Man, Roy was going to kill him for being gone so long. It was only three days but Roy worried too much, but now that Jason thinks of it, He missed that part of Roy, maybe too much..

"So, how does this prototype work?" Dick asked from behind Jason. Peter had then gone to the computer to show the diagnostics and what the device would look like. He typed a few things and a hologram showed.

The device wasn't too big, not like it was in Gotham, but big enough.

"So this prototype thingy is your ticket out of here. It takes power from the Chutari, those alien monsters Mr.Stark and the rest of the avengers took down. It turns out that alien tech was wired to the ship that opened a portal to the deeper parts of space so nothing had to come out of the atmosphere and you know, burn all up. Uh, anyhow I came up with a formula that mixed the alien tech with that tracking device along with other powerful sources and I was able to create a prototype of what the device should look and act like." Peter said in a hurry while also taking time to explain other details.

"So you don't know if it would work?" Damian asked.

"Trust me Dami, Peter is an expert, this will work." Tony said with a toothy grin.

"Only they get to call me Dami." Damian said coldly. Tony's smile immediately disappeared. God what would it take to impress this kid?

"It most likely will but someone on the other side has to activate a portal as well. I actually solved that part too. The tracer part of this device can sense wavelengths within space and time so if something goes off in your world, we'll know. " Peter stated.

The four boys looked at each other with worried looks. How were they going to tell Tony and Peter about the Court and their plans without exposing themselves?

"And you can make this prototype...now?" Dick hesitatingly. Tony raised an eyebrow. Dicks training kicked in and held down the giant lump in his throat.

"Sorry Richard this might take a few days to make, but I can promise you a way home. And this time, no bad things will happen." Tony said.

"Wait, this was good news. What's the bad news?" Jason asked. Tony's mood changed, you could see it all on his face. You could see it as well as on Peters. Tony went to the computer and typed in something. The boys could see that he was searching up the latest news story.

"In downtown New Jersey The Rouge Avengers take on a group of supposed terrorists. A man was able to record some of the fight. We must warn you, this fight is graphic."

The video played and the bat boys could not believe who was on video.

It was them.

Them as Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin. They were fighting the Rouge Avengers, but with more force they usually would. You could clearly see how this 'Red Hood' was using actual bullets and not rubber ones. 'Robin' was using pure assassin instinct. 'Nightwing' was going crazy and almost killed Natasha.

Whoever these clones were they were, those bat boys showed no mercy. But they didn't kill anyone.

"Look I don't know how you two came here but is there a possibility that these four, whoever they are came here on purpose and you accidentally came with them?" Tony asked seriously.

Tim was so confused. Tony was able to find out that Peter was Spider-Man so quickly. How could he not know that those guys were them? Well not the ones on TV but, you get the gist.

"It's a possibility." Tim said while Peter looked at him with confusion. Tim looked at Peter with pleading eyes. Hoping he would know that Tim would never do such a thing like breaking Captain America's ankle and nearly impaling his staff in him.

"Tony, whatever it takes, we'll help you get those guys." Dick said.

"Thanks. I don't want them in our world." Tony said while looking at the boys with suspicion.

"Well, we're going to head to bed now, suns setting." Jason said as he looked Tony in the eye.

"Sure, hope you don't mind but Pete's staying for the night." Tony said.

"No. We don't mind at all." Tim said worryingly.

~~~

The boys and Tony separated. Peter was following Tim from behind. Everyone was silent and eerie. No one knew what to say.

"Tim. Here!" Peter stopped where he was and opened the door to his room. Tim followed Peter and his brothers followed, not knowing what would happen. Everyone got in the room and Peter shut the door and turned on the lights.

"FRIDAY can't hear or see you guys in here, you're safe."

"Thanks Peter. Look you have to know that wasn't us-"

"I know."

"Wait. You told him?!" The three brothers said in shock and horror. Tim nodded his head with shame, but that shame soon ended, since when did he need his brothers permission?

"Yeah I did. He found my suit, I had no choice." Tim said in his defense.

"Drake if this was under any under circumstance I would've killed you." Damian said.

"Yeah I know, I love you too."

"Wait, are you that Spider kid from the news?" Jason asked.

"I-it's Spider-Man." Peter mumbled.

"Whatever, look. How did the Court do that? The Court is-" Jason said before Tim cut him off.

"I told him."

"Look the sooner we can get that portal open the faster you can leave and the Court right?" Peter hopefully asked. The boys all looked at each other.

"What?"

"We can't let that happen Peter." Tim said.

"What? Why?"

"It's what the court wants. Once they know we have the device ready they will open the portal and so will we. The Court will take over this world." Tim said.

"But the Avengers-"

"Parker, we barely took the court down, in fact we failed. Your people can't take them on. The best thing we can do is prevent it from happening." Damian said.

"So....what do we do?"

"Is it possible this device can only go halfway? Like a veil?" Dick asked. Peter's eyebrows scrunched a bit. He went to his backpack and took out a notebook and a pencil. He wrote down a few things, equations probably.

"It's not entirely possible. But it's dangerous. If you make a veil, you'll be nothing but molecules and you'll have to find the way to your own world, it's risky."

"Then we'll do it." Dick said. They had to do anything from keeping the court away from this world.

"What about our clones?" Tim asked.

"I say we bring the fight to them." Jason said as he cracked his knuckles.

"We can't Jay, those Rouge Avengers are onto us and if we do anything they'll attack." Dick said.

"Yeah but if we do nothing the court attacks anyways!" Jason yells in frustration. Tim places a hand on his shoulder.

"We'll find a way Jason."

"Guys I'm sorry, I wish there was a way." Peter said.

"Maybe there is." Damian quickly said. Everyone looked to Damian.

"Well Dami, lay it down."

"We need to cut the head off the snake. We may not know who that is right now but we have the closest person, that scientist."

"The pudgy guy you had a birdarang fight with?" Jason asked.

"Yes Todd. Him. He brought us here and he must have told the Rouges about us."

"How though." Dick asked.

"He may have clones of himself. Here and in Gotham."

"Like the clones of us." Tim said.

"So how will you find this scientist?" Peter asked.

"We bring him to us." Jason said.

"I'll go with you then." Peter said.

"Heck yeah!" Tim said with joy. He knows Peter is a good guy and and an amazing hero. Fighting along side him would be an honor.

"How are we going to tell Stark about this?" Damian asked.

"We can tell him tomorrow. Everything. If we want this plan to succeed, we need every ally we can get."

A/N: Sorry this chapter is a little short, I was not sure what I wanted to do with this chapter since it's just for rising to the plot. But I have ideas that are going to make this story good. Also for the picture of this chapter I give you Lesbian Trees. Why? Why not. I really don't know what this election will bring us. I'm scaresd, but whatever happesn I hope you all stay safe.
