The team sat at a small table in the cave as the League repaired all the damage that had been done after the attack. More than half of them, Robin had never met, but now wasn't exactly the time for a meet-and-greet.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Kid Flash said as Green Arrow placed a snack filled bowl on the table.

Robin spoke up,"Yeah, what we want are answers- about Red Tornado and his siblings."

"Exactly!" Kid Flash agreed.

Green Arrow shrugged and picked up the bowl. Wally was quick to snatch it from him,"Leave the bowl."

Robin sighed softly at Wally's immaturity.

"You knew!" Superboy suddenly yelled out as he lunged for Aqualad,"That android and his maniac family nearly killed M'gann!"

M'gann was quick to fly towards the two,"Connor, what are you doing?"

"Kaldur knew we had a traitor among the team and said nothing!"

"You knew?" Robin shouted.

"And didn't tell us?" Kid Flash stood up.

Aqualad remained calm,"I sought to protect the team-"

"Protect us from what?" Artemis lashed out,"Knowledge that might have saved our lives?"

"You almost died!" Connor told M'gann as he released Kaldur,"The traitor could be anyone of us, and you completely left us in the dark!"Connor said anyone, but it was obvious that he had his eyes focused on Robin.

Robin immediately noticed this,"What? You think it's me?"

"You are the one that was raised by assassins. For all we know, you could still be loyal to them. Maybe everything you've said is just a lie! For all we know, you could still be in contact with them!" The room suddenly got extremely quiet.

Robin lost it,"You have got to be kidding me! What's your problem?"

"It's four feet tall and smells like cheap hair gel."

"At least I wasn't born in a Petri dish!"

"You're small enough to fit in one!"

The two were merely inches away from each other, both panting,"You-"

"That's enough!" Batman ended their feud, gaining everyone's attention,"With Red Tornado missing, the team will now be supervised by rotating league members. Captain Marvel has volunteered to take the first shift."

Said hero stepped up,"I'm really looking forward to hanging with you guys."

The team sent each other confused looks.

Connor sent a glare to Robin, and then to Aqualad," After I dismantle Red Tornado, you and I are gonna-"

Batman interrupted, once again,"Red Tornado is a member of the Justice League, that makes him a league responsibility. You will leave it to us."

Once everything seemed to cool down, Robin approached his mentor,"Can I talk to you?" He wanted to bring up the notes he had received as soon as possible.
