Chapter four

After avoiding it for another twenty minutes, I decided that if I waited any longer and babs found out I was here, she'd kill me.

Casually I walked up to her house in a celebrity disguise because well I'm famous here, and I don't want a bunch of paparazzi attention right now, hence a disguise.

I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

Patiently I waited until the door opened revealing a slightly annoyed looking Barbara.

Recognizing me, she immediately hugged me hard, and I returned it silently, giving her the time she needs.

She pulled back and punched me hard in the shoulder. 

"Don't you ever do that to me ever again!!"

"Hey, it wasn't my fault!!" I whisper exclaimed.

Frankly I'm surprised commissioner Gordon hasn't figured out all the bat's identities yet because he doesn't even know that babs is batgirl.

I heard the commissioner coming, and looked at babs before looking at him.

"Hey dick, how was your trip?" He asked.

Shocked at first but reacting quickly, figuring that Bruce came up with some alibi for my sudden disappearance, I replied. "It was really good, how was Gotham while I was gone?"

"The usual" he replied.

I nodded in understanding.

"Alright well, I'm going to head back to the manor, bye commissioner Gordon, bye babs."

I started to leave, but babs called out. "Wait, I'm coming with you!"

"Barbara, what about gymnastics?" Her dad asked.

"I'll do it next week! My friend who's been gone for two months, just got back and I want to hang out with him"

Commissioner Gordon nodded before Barbara ran up the stairs to get her shoes, but knowing her she was also getting her costume, which I was fine with me because I wanted her to meet mama Nat.

Commissioner Gordon and I sat in comfortable silence before babs practically skipped down the steps.

She hugged her dad, before walking out, and we walked together toward the manor, which wasn't too far away.

....
Back at the cave, later
....

Babs and I walked in, she was in civvies but she had her suit on standby in case we had a mission with the team, she had sun glasses on, to keep her identity, but she knew that I revealed mine.

We went into the kitchen to see he young justice team eating, but the avengers were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey guys."

"Hey batgirl" the girls greeted.

"So what do you guys think of the avengers?" I asked, sitting at the breakfast bar, on a stool.

"I like them!!" M'gann exclaimed.

"Well I don't" Artemis grumbled.

"Why?" I asked

"Because they obviously think we can't do our job just because we're teenagers."

"Well they do come from a world where there aren't any sidekicks, and there's only one teen hero, but he's the only one and he's a hero that wasn't a sidekick or partner before he became a vigilante, they feel the need to protect the younger people." I tried to explain.

"But it's different here" Wally replied.

"I know that, and they know that, they made it so I had to stick with peter on patrol, just give them a break"

"I agree, these beings are not of our earth, they do not understand our ways" Kaldur agreed.

"Wait, hold on, they had someone babysit you?" Artemis started laughing, clutching her stomach and doubling over.

"Hey! It's not like I needed one" I replied grumpily. "Anyway are we all agreed that we at least give the avengers a chance and be patient with them?"

Everyone nodded at me.

"Hey rob, when're you going to school?" Wally asked.

"I start school again tomorrow" it was Monday.

"So soon?" M'gann asked.

"Yeah, I feel fine, plus I have to make it look like I only went on vacation, thus going to school tomorrow"

Several members of the team made the "oh" shape with their mouths, understanding why I was going back so soon.

I got up, dragging babs with me, so she could go meet mama Nat.

Walking to her room, I knocked on the door, I heard a soft "come in" before I entered.

That was the mama Nat that I knew, probably more than anyone else, I tend to break down people's tough exteriors, and that's why she and I are so close.

It's the same with Batman, Superboy, heck even Bucky, we're just not as close as we could be.

When mama Nat saw me, she smiled. "Who's this птенец?" (Baby bird)

I rolled my eyes playfully at her nickname for me. "мама нат, this is Barbara, Barbara this is Nat, but I call her mama Nat"

Barbara awwed at my nickname for her, and shook her hand, reintroducing herself as my best friend, besides Wally.

(A/N: I use several different Russian names between dick and Natasha, I'm aware that they're different)

Mama Nat had a slight smirk on her face, before Barbara's watch started beeping, telling her she had to head home.

It had gotten later in the day, almost time for dinner, so mama Nat slung an arm around my shoulder, and mine went around her back, and we walked to dinner that way.

"так кто эта девушка, она твоя девушка?" Mama Nat asked (who is that girl, is she your girlfriend?)

I blushed furiously, Sure babs and I would play flirt on the job and in or civilian identities, but we both agreed that we didn't think about each other in that way. Still it was embarrassing for your mom to ask if your best friend was your girlfriend. I was grateful that nobody understood what she said except Bucky and I.

"она просто подруга, пожалуйста, не беспокойте меня" I replied. (She's just a friend, please don't embarrass me)

"мы увидим, что вы взволнованы завтра в школу?" (We'll See, are you excited about school tomorrow?)

By now my teammates were looking at us curiously, Bucky had a slight smirk on his face, and the avengers just ignored it, per usual.

It was after dinner, and we were causally sitting in the living room watching a movie, I knew I'd have to go to Gotham for patrol with Batman soon, but I was content to just sit in between Bucky and mama Nat.

My communicator started going off, the team, knowing what it meant just ignored it, by the avengers were the ones looking curiously this time.

"Sorry guys, but duty calls me away." I finished with dramatic flair, and walked over to the zeta beams.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, and there were the avengers, looking at me with concern.

Mama Nat was the one who touched my shoulder. 

"You're going to Gotham aren't you?" Clint asked.

I nodded. "Guys remember this isn't your world, we do things differently here, and I know at least two of you will follow me so just, send non supers, Gotham villains  tend to get antsy around them, so if you have powers I strongly recommend that you don't come, and no flashy suits either just stealth. And if you insist on following me and I know you will, please wear a mask because you endanger everyone the public sees you with, unless you can change your face, I strongly recommend a mask." I sighed, as I put my own domino mask on, and took off my shirt and pants, revealing my uniform, my cape unfurled from its hidden position, and I carefully folded up my clothes, putting them into my utility belt.

Sighing, I typed in the code for Gotham's zeta beam location and walked through, knowing I was followed by the avenger's three deadliest assassins.
