(General POV)
"We're sorry," Wally and Conner shouted in unison bowing their heads.
Kaldur eyed them both in amusement while the rest of the team, and Black Canary, tried to hold in their laughter.
"Apologies are not needed my friends," Kaldur told them kindly, "the anger you both felt towards me was understandable."
"We still took it to far though," Wally argued giving his Atlantean friend a pleading look, "we promise that it won't happen again."
Conner nodded silently in agreement.
"Looks like our boys have grown up," Darren said to Megan holding his hand to his heart.
"Oh, how the time flies," Megan sighed dramatically.
The two gave each other a look before suddenly bursting into laughter. Artemis and Dick couldn't help but groaned at their antics.
"These four make two of the weirdest couples I have ever seen," Artemis declared with a roll of her eyes.
"You know what they say Artemis, freaks attract freaks," Dick replied with a smirk.
"We heard that," the four of them chorus making the Boy Wonder look sheepish.
There was a suddenly whirling sound as the team saw a very sophisticated looking man sporting a suit and cane enter the base through the teleporter.
"Who's that?" Darren whispered to Megan as he had never seen this top hat wearing man around the base before.
"That's Zatarra one of the leagues magicians," Megan whispered back watching as he admitted someone else into the base, "I've heard that he's really skilled at his craft."
Darren just then saw someone else walked into the base, it was a young girl. The young Green Lantern barely had any time to walk toward the girl before Dick pushing them all out of the way to greeted her.
"Hi, I'm Robin," Dick shook her hand enthusiastically before turning to the rest of the team, "and this is Conner, Megan, Wally, Kaldur, Artemis, and Darren."
"Big team you got here," Zatanna noticed smiling politely, "I'm Zatanna."
"It can get bigger," Dick told her huskily.
Zatanna raised an eyebrow at him.
"The team I mean," Dick corrected blushing slightly, "not the, uh, whatever. Are you joining the team?"
Wally couldn't help but snickered to himself. It was so rare that you got to see Robin looking flustered and embarrassed. He loved it!
Darren, however, was feeling a little bit different than his boyfriend. It was obvious that Dick was quickly gaining a crush on the young magician and that didn't feel right to him. He can't say what but the thought of Dick getting together with someone who was clearing older than him, left an unsettling taste in his mouth.
"Not so fast," Zatarra said interrupting the Boy Wonder's glee, "this is just, uh, a visit just to test the waters."
Conner snorted before turning to Black Canary pretty much ignoring their guests.
"Any news on that Rob- I mean Red Tornado?" Conner asking straining himself to not immediately lash out just by saying his former mentors name.
The Kryptonian clone was in a forgiving mood and was doing his best not to jump to the conclusion of Red Tornado being the mole, even if the evidence was staggering.
The team looked over at their current mentor eagerly. Ever since the event with the three Reds they have been kept in the dark in the development of the search for Red Tornado. They all desperately wanted to know what happened to their friend and if they could help in the investigation.
"Not yet," Black Canary denied, "Batman is searching high and low for our friend but has exhausted all of our options."
"Then how are going to find him?" Robin demanded knowing that if Batman couldn't find him they were pretty much doomed.
"We will find a way," Black Canary giving the team a stern look, "and all of you are not going to interfere."
"Maybe it would be best if you all gave Zatanna a tour of the cave," Zatarra offered feeling the tension growing in the room.
"Okay," Dick grinned taking Zatanna's hand and practically dragging her along.
Making a sound akin to a growl, Darren followed right behind them leaving the rest of the team confused.
"Oh, what is going on now?" Artemis sighed following them.
"Wow," Dick exclaimed as the finally looked back from where he was pulling Zatanna to see a completely different set of clothes on her now, "that is so cool!"
"All she did is change her clothes, big deal," Darren huffed lowly folding his arms. He paid no mind to Wally giving him a knowing look as he wrapped an arm around him.
"We're going after Red Tornado aren't we?" Zatanna said aloud casually as if reading everyone's anxious minds.
"We?" Darren raised an eyebrow at the presumptuous girl.
"If you're going I'm going to," Zatanna argued with a smirk, "otherwise how could you guarantee that I won't squeal on you?"
"I can think of a few ways to make you keep quiet," Darren muttered ignoring the signals Wally's was giving him trying to indicate that everyone could hear him perfectly well despite the lowness of his voice.
Artemis feeling in a particularly catty mood, decided to add fuel to Darren's steadily growing fire.
"You know I think you'll fit in fine with us," Artemis said trying to hide the smirk as she noticed the Green Lantern beside him growl lowly.
…
Their search for finding Red Tornado was relatively short. After Kid Flash gave them his idea on interrogating Professor Ivo for the whereabouts of Red Tornado, the team made their way to where their robot friend was said to be, Yellowstone National Park.
Kid Lantern had been staring unblinkingly at Zatanna ever since they left Belle Reve (the prison Professor Ivo was kept at). An uncomfortable chill ran down his spine as he saw Robin and the young magician seemingly flirting with each other.
"You can stop glaring any time now," Kid Lantern heard someone say in his ear.
The Green Lantern looked over to see his boyfriend smirking at him.
"What are you talking about?" Kid Lantern put on an innocent look.
Kid Flash rolled his eyes.
"You've been glaring at Zatanna ever since we left that prison," Kid Flash pointed out, "and I'm just going to tell you that your concern is unnecessary."
"Huh?" Now Kid Lantern looked legitimately confused.
"Robin can take care of himself Darren," Kid Flash acknowledged waving a finger at his lover, "so stop with the protective little brother act."
"I am not being a protective-"
Kid Lantern froze as he realized what was just said to him. Out of pure frustration the Green Lantern stood up from his seat and started yelling as loud as his voice can go.
"I am not the little brother," Kid Lantern proclaimed in exasperation, "Why does everyone call me the little brother? I am two years older than him so that means, by default, I am the older brother."
It was at this point Kid Lantern finally realized where he was as he saw everyone in the ship giving him looks (and more importantly Robin's smirk). Blushing, he sat back down hitting his boyfriend on the arm who was snickering at him.
"Don't mind me guys," Kid Lantern said holding his head down.
Wally must be rubbing off on me, Kid Lantern thought as he realized at the he had been having a lot of outbursts lately.
"You have to excuse little Darren," you could hear Robin say to Zatanna, "he's going through a little independent rebellious stage where he forgets the status quo."
"The status quo which says that you are my older brother?" Kid Lantern heard himself say.
"Of course," Robin replied you could practically feel the smirk that was present on his face.
"Now, where were we?" Robin asked going back to his conversation with Zatanna, "oh right I was trying to ask you some questions without being to nonchalant."
"Oh please, be as chalant as you like," Zatanna replied with the slightest hint of suggestion in her voice.
"How old are you?" Kid Lantern demanded glaring at the girl once again.
Kid Flash leaned over to whisper to him.
"Darren, stop being a cock blocker."
The speedster was effectively silenced by a green rope around his mouth curtsey of Darren.
The rest of the team looked as if they wanted to interfere but they were too enamored with what was happening (mainly Artemis who was really getting into this).
Zatanna blinked over at him before narrowing her eyes.
"Not that it's any of your business but I'm fifteen," Zatanna stated folding her arms.
Your lack of chest tells me otherwise, Kid Lantern thought to himself but didn't dare utter aloud. He may be acting a little like Wally now but he wasn't quite their all the way…yet.
"You know Robin's thirteen right?" Kid Lantern asked her.
"I'm fourteen," Robin argued.
"Recently turned fourteen," Kid Lantern corrected.
"What's your point?" Robin questioned sharply.
"We're here," Miss. Martian suddenly stated looking relieved to have an excuse to break up this fight.
"Aw," Artemis whined, "and it was just starting to get good."
"This quarrel will have to wait another day," Aqualad said looking between Kid Lantern and Robin, "for now we have a friend to rescue."
"Or execute," Superboy added lowly.
Kid Lantern and Robin looked toward each other a nodded in agreement to save this for later.
"Good," Aqualad nodded, "now let's move team."
"Right!"
…
The fight between Red Volcano, the young robot who had come up with the plan to ruin the world with a volcanic eruption, had been foiled by their good friend Red Tornado and team was successfully able to bring him home.
The team had been given little time to celebrate as they were immediately berated for their reckless actions by Zatarra and Black Canary (though this was coming more from the former than the latter).
Darren couldn't fight off the relaxed smiled off his face as Zatanna was dragged out of the base by her father despite her protest.
"Don't try and look to sad that she's leaving Darren," The brown haired male turned to his side to see the resident Boy Wonder beside him, "if you looked any sadder I might think you'd start dancing."
Darren blushed in embarrassment. It was at this point that he realized how idiotic he was acting recently. What right does he have to tell Robin who he can and cannot date?
"I'm sorry if I ruined your chances with Zatanna," Darren lamented, "I guess I'm just not use to change and us getting a new teammate and you dating is kind of a big change ( at least for me anyway)."
"First off, everything you said are assumptions," Dick pointed out, "Zatanna might not join our team and I didn't even get her number."
"Is that my fault?" Darren asked guilty.
Dick sighed and promptly smacked Darren across the head.
"No stupid," Dick snorted, "and you need to quit worrying about me. I can take care of myself."
"What makes you think I was worried about you?" Darren couldn't help but ask.
"Beside your Wallyish outburst in the ship," Dick replied dryly, "the fact that you were acting like Bruce when he's in a good mood."
Darren couldn't help but chuckled at that causing a smile to appear on Dick's face as well.
"Leave the big brother gig to me," Dick smirked, "it's too much for you to handle."
"I think I might," Darren said surprisingly conceding this time, "It's too much work for me."
Without thinking Darren reached over and hugged Dick. The Boy wonder had a look of pure shock on his face before he hugged his back.
"I've always wanted a brother," Darren admitted softly, "and I'm just glad I have one in you."
"…me to Darren, my stupid little brother."
