Damian clasped on his vest, slipping on his gloves as he finished. He bent down and laced up his boots, a procedure that took several minutes to complete. Once he finished, he went to his mirror and swept his hair back, fixing the hairs that were out of place. Lastly, he placed his mask on, replacing his eyes with empty, white cloth. He was ready.

He grabbed his grappling hook and batarangs before rushing downstairs to the Batcave garage. Climbing on his bike, he took a deep breath. And with that, he was off.

He was at Jon's house in minutes. He jumped off and began to climb the tree next to Jon's window. When he reached the top, he knocked on the window. There was no answer. Rolling his eyes, he opened it himself, stepping inside. Jon was fast asleep in his bed, not a care in the world. Damian walked in front of Jon and bent down. He looks so peaceful sleeping there, he thought. Too bad.

He flicked Jon on the forehead, causing him to jump up and groan in pain. "What the heck?!" Jon asked.

"I thought you woke up at 5:00 am everyday?" Damian asked him back. "It's 9:48."

Jon rubbed his eyes. "I had a hard time falling asleep last night because... y'know..."

"The Teen Titan's will have no idea what you're talking about," Damian replied, making sure to hide his blush from Jon. "You're late." He smirked at Jon as his eyes widened in fear.

"OH MY GOSH DAMIAN I'M LATE!" Jon jumped out of bed and threw off his shirt. He scrambled around his room trying to get ready as Damian laughed.

"Relax," he said. "We can get there by 10:00 if you fly us."

"Right!" Jon was in his Superboy uniform now. "Let's go." They went to Jon's window and Damian wrapped his arms around Jon's chest, Jon doing the same around Damian's legs. The two sprung from the window and into the blue sky.

"We're here!" Jon yelled as he burst into the Titan Tower, out of breath. Damian followed a few steps behind him, smiling and shaking his head. Starfire checked the time on the main computer.

"9:59," she said. "Quite close."

"Too close, if you ask me," Beast Boy said as he turned into a monkey and climbed onto Jon's head."

"Oh shut up, Gar," Damian said. "You know you want him here just as much as he does." Beast Boy turned into a frog and hopped off of Jon's head and back towards the others.

"It's true," he said.

"It's been a while Super Boy," Aqualad said. "You've helped us with a couple missions here and there, but we're happy to see if you can be a permanent addition to the team."

"I'm ready," Jon said, his eyes twinkling. "Bring it on!"

"Ok," Damian said as he put a hand on Jon's shoulder. "Your test..."

"Yes!?"

"... is to defeat all of us."
