The Titans were in the tower. Everyone training in the Gym, Damian and Jai were currently sparring. Damian sent a punch at Jai, but the computer genius quickly held the Robin's arm and twisted it back. Needing his arm free Damian kicked Jai in the leg. Jai fell to the floor with a soft thud. The team decided to take a break and went to the sidelines to take drinks and calm down. "I don't get why Jai has to train. I mean he doesn't even go on the battle field" Chris stated confusion twisted  in his face. "Yeah, but what if someone breaks into the tower?" Colin asks. "Then we could protect him" Nell shot back. "But what if we aren't here at the time?" Milagro had asked. 

"Since Jai lost his powers he needs to train extra hard, because he has no advantage to the villain" Irey answered. "The only reason I don't have powers is because you took them in the first place" "If I hadn't, one of us wouldn't be standing here right now" "Yeah you. Your the one who almost got crushed by Reverse Flash before you took my powers" "You could at least thank me" Jai drowned down the rest of his water before answering his twin. "Yeah, sure I'm going to thank you for taking my cool powers away" The Boy Wonder stopped the argument, by starting his own. 

"Would you two clowns quit your complaining? You both are the most arrogant people on this entire team" Jai shot back. "We don't talk as much as you do." Damian grunted and crossed his arms. "Oh I'm sure. That's why- Damian raises his hand to gesture to Irey- Iris could talk her way out of her own grave" Irey glared at her crush. "Nice Damian- Jai said sarcastically- Don't talk about my sister that way!" Damian smirked. "Why? Are you afraid I'm right?!" Jai couldn't help but glare. "How about I talk about your family? See how you like it?" "As much off a mess my family is they are superior to yours" "Your stepping on a very thin line, Brat Wonder" Jai poked at Damian's chest and Damian swatted his hand away. "Guys-" Milagro was cut off. "This team doesn't need you. Your worthless to us. You can't do anything! The only reason we keep you around is to have a speedster on the team"

Having enough Jai walked over to the big double doors. He stopped just before he left. He didn't turn around or anything, he just looked down and said. "If you don't need me, then I'm outta here" And with that the West twin left. Irey sped after her brother as the others looked at Robin. "That was really cold" Chris said. Damian glared at the kryptonian. "Don't like it? Then leave" And with that Damian went to work out.

It had been a week since Jai left and the team were awful. They were late for four missions. They had gotten lost twice and five villains had gotten away because the police weren't noted. And worst off it all, was that Damian was to stubborn to admit that they needed their Oracle. Having enough Irey confronted her brother. They were in their class packing up for lunch when she approached her brother. "Jai would you stop being a baby and come back to the team?!" Jai continued to put away his pencil case. "Not until Damian apologizes" The red headed speedster groans, "You know how stubborn he is!" Jai ignored his sister as two very nerdy looking boys came up to them.

Jai smiled at them and turned to his sister. "Irey these are my friends, Jeff and Logan" Irey gave them a small smile as they both grinned and one even drooled at her. "Hey!" She greeted cheerfully. "So pretty...- After he said this he began to worry and his voice was squeaking-I-I was- was maybe wondering if-if yo-you would go on a d-d-date with me" Irey gave him a sad smile. "Oh I'm sorry, but I don't think my boyfriend Damian would like that" Jai had finally put his back-pack on his back. "I'll meet you guys outside and we'll go play Monkey Slater 4" The boys pumped their fists in the air and cheered as they left the class with the other kids. Leaving Irey and Jai alone. Jai raised an eyebrow at Irey. 

"Since when were you and Damian dating?" Irey shrugged. "We aren't" Jai gave her a weird look. "Then you just lied" "It's not a lie! We aren't dating yet. But when Damian figures out he has feelings for me, then we will. So I'm not lying...It's called skipping ahead to the future" Jai snickered. "Yeah sure, I gotta go. See you when you come home on Saturday and Sunday"

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

Irey had told the others that Jai wouldn't come back. And after yelling at Damian for five hours straight and holding him against his will he agreed to apologize. The Titans arrived at the West household. And they all followed Irey upstairs and into Jai's bedroom. His bedroom was neat. He had a small single bed, and a lot of computers and games. Jai was sitting in his room playing on his game with Logan and Jeff. They all turned to the team. "Wow Jai, I didn't know you had so many friends!" Logan commented. "Jai we need to talk.." Lian stated. Jai turned to his friends and then to Irey. Irey groaned. "Fine! Logan, Jeff come on down and I'll get you guys some drinks" Jeff walked over and stood beside Irey and Damian. "I'm Jeff" Damian nodded. "Damian"

Jeff raised an eyebrow. "So this is your boyfriend? No wonder you don't like me! Look how muscly he is!" Irey turned bright red and Damian smirked at her. Jeff turned to Damian. "I'm sorry, but I'm in love with your girlfriend and I won't let her go that easily" The girls snickered as Irey turned even more red. "I don't know why your laughing, your coming with me" Irey dragged a sad Lian and Jai's friends out off the room. "Wow Damian you have tough competition" Milagro said as she and Nell laughed. "I believe Damian has something to say to you" Chris said as Colin pushed him forward. 

Damian grumbled as he sat beside the former Oracle. "I-I" He turned to his team mates. Getting the hint, they left. Damian turned to Jai. "You do know I was forced" "Yup" "Your still going to make me do it anyway aren't you?" "Yup" Damian sighed. "Fine. I'm sorry. Please come back" "Nope" Damian narrowed his eyes. "Look Damian, your one of my best friends, but what you said kind off stung....And for the past week, I've loved being a kid! It's so amazing to not have the pressure of saving lives on your shoulders" Damian looked down. "So your.... Not coming back?" Jai looked at him. "I don't know"

He stood up. "Your my best friend too Jai. And whatever you chose to do, I hope your happy. But being 'normal' is boring. I've never been 'normal' my entire life, but if that's what you want go ahead. But you have a team and friends to think about" Damian smiled at Jai. Jai smiled as they both went down into the kitchen. Colin and Chris were talking to Logan, the girls were laughing at Irey who was boredly listening to Jeff's pick up-lines. "I'm sorry guys, but I have to go"

Outside the house was a very large car. That could fly, but was camouflaged to look like a normal car. Chris got into the drivers seat. (He's the only one old enough to drive) Damian and Irey got into the front. In the next row was Jai, Nell and Lian. And in the last row was Milagro and Colin. As they drove to their tower Lian put her head on Jai's shoulder and muttered. "Good to have you back" While in the front Damian smirked at Irey and said. "So I'm your boyfriend? When were you going to tell me?!" "Shut up!"
