Chapter 4

Woo!! 2 chapters in 1 day!!

Ok... not the most I've ever done but its still good!!

Short but important A/N at the end.

P.s: Prepare for feels although I'm not sure how good it is...

"Oh my..."

The moment the scene was on Robin, Alfred came in. As he stood next to Bruce his old but wise eyes never left the projection. Those eyes were filled with sorrow.

And Batman... his fists were clenched at his sides and shaking. Even though he looked like Batman, he was only Bruce in this moment. And Bruce looked like he wanted to punch something. Hard.

Good thing Ren was sitting next to Tessa.

Tessa furrowed her eyebrows at her father and then her brother of this time.

This Robin was tense while the other one was slumped in... shame?

Tessa internally groaned.

Bruce never knew about this...

Could things get any worse?

Well funny thing about Bats and Etheranians...

Things can always get worse for them.

The video showed Robin performing flips in the air, quite similar to what the Flying Graysons did, and showed him miss M'gann's hands.

He started to fall. Just like his parents did.

Tessa could see it in the video Robin's eyes. He was terrified and he was having flashbacks of his parents' deaths. He thought he was going to end up like them.

"Don't blow our cover!"

"But saving your life's okay?"

Tessa breathed out again. She has a newfound respect for her surrogate uncle's clone.

Tessa raised her hand up slightly and cut the air with her palm and the video stopped. Right as all the 'Daring Dangers' were posing together after their act.

Both of the Robins got up and walked to opposite sides of the Batcave.

Oh geez...

Ren got up and was glaring at the orb.

And the orb's image glitched and reversed back to when Robin was about to fall. As if it was mocking Ren's challenging glare.

"Alright, that is enough!"

Ren got up and jumped up into the air and grabbed the orb. Landing, he roughly shoved the orb back into the bag and walked back over to the back wall. With an angry smirk he started violently swinging the bag back and forth as he walked.

Yes they're orbs but they have ethereal intelligence, ethereal life.

They can be cocky, rude, arrogant and, as Ren will soon learn, very sassy.

Both teams looked around at their own teammates. Then at the opposite team.

Tessa looked over to Robin (YJ) and saw that Bruce was talking to him.

This could either go really good or really bad.

It was the former. Bruce took his son into his arms and gave him a tight hug. A hug he clearly desperately needed as his body shook with silent sobs.

Tessa sighed.

As much as she wanted to go to the Robin of Young Justice she headed toward the Titan Robin.

This version of her brother she didn't know but he was still her little bird. Besides he didn't have anyone to turn to.

Tessa knew he obviously had great friends but they didn't know why he would be so upset. They couldn't give him the comfort he needed, no matter how much they cared for him.

But she was stopped by Ren.

"What are doing?"

"Going to my brother."

"Why? To comfort him?"

He actually sounded mad.

"Yes. Why is that such a problem?"

Ren tightly grabbed both of her shoulders.

"Because I know you're going to do the same thing you do in Ether. Always comfort but never be the comforted. You never let anyone in at home and I'm sick of it! Everytime something bad happens you won't let people be there for you... why?"

"Because I have responsibilities. I am the big sister. I am the first child. I am the future squad leader. I am your superior. I am the alpha. And the last time I let someone else in I got distracted and that same person died under my leadership. That day, I swore to always be there for those who are in danger of falling!"

The firm grip on her shoulders became more gentle but the steely look of Ren's black eyes remained confident. He never wavered.

"What about when you start to fall?"

"..."

Tessa ignored him and pushed him away, making her way to the older Robin.

Oh Tessa, when will you understand that I...

Sighing, Ren turns around and walks back to the bag leaning against the wall.

Angrily he kicks the bag and jumbled gurgles are heard. Opening the bag he's faced with the two orbs. And they start talking to him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I... was so scared Tessa. I still remember that day so clearly..."

She wasn't sure if he was talking about what everyone just witnessed or about the murder. But it didn't matter.

She didn't know him. But he clearly remembered her.

She hugged her brother close to her. Gently telling him little stories and singing short songs she used to whenever he was scared when he was much younger.

Turning away they both saw the Titans come up to them.

"Dude..." said Beast Boy.

"You okay man? What got you all spooked?" asked Cyborg.

Robin looked at Raven who had a slight look of understanding in her eyes.

She saw only glimpses that one time, not the whole story.

Robin sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Later guys... at the Tower."

His teammates nodded in agreement and understanding.

Starfire gently took his hand.

"Friend Robin you are the... okay?"

Robin squeezed her hand and entwined their fingers together. He gave his team a little smile.

"Yeah. Yeah I'll be just fine."

Tessa walked away to leave them alone when she saw the Young Justice team and Batman and Alfred surrounding the current Robin.

They were laughing and Robin was finally smiling again.

Ren came up and walked past her to stand in front of all of them and he threw that darned orb back up.

"Ok, everyone ready to continue? Yes? Good, sit down."

Silence then everyone does as he says and Ren flops to the ground with a loud huff.

Chuckling slightly, Tessa sat down next to him. His face was red, eyes were narrowed, and his arms were crossed.

He's adorable when he pouts.

"What's your problem?"

"They sassed me."

"...what?"

"The orbs. They sassed me. Says I should just 'stop talking so they can concentrate and that I kick like a... like a seven year old child."

Tessa fully laughed now and nudged him a bit.

"Well maybe you should listen to them. After all, you caused their problem."

Ren huffed but glared playfully.

"Yeah whatever. Let's just see whatever's next. Can't possibly get any worse."

Then an image of a tall young man in a black kevlar suit came into view. He had a blue bird insignia on his chest.

Even the Titan Robin was confused.

Ren groaned loudly.

"Seriously, just keep your mouth shut!"

This was something else the pair reviewed. This hasn't even happened in Titans time yet.

But at this point in the orb's story, Nightwing has left the Titans. And come back to Young Justice.

This is going to be... awkward.

A/N: Ok, tomorrow I have practice. Then on Friday I have a game. Then on Saturday I'm going away on a short trip with family, then on Sunday I have a friend's birthday party to go to. So yea, me be busy rest of the week. Love you all!!
