Jon met Damian in the Cave. He was already in his uniform, if you could call it that- red Converse, ripped jeans, and a Superman jacket with a cape. He was rocking on his heels in a mix of anticipation and boredom as he waited, back turned, for Damian to get into uniform.

"Okay. I'm done." Damian said, walking over to Jon.

"That was so fast!" Jon noticed.

"Yeah." Damian said, flatly, opening the door to the Cave's locker room. "Let's go. I'm driving."

"The hell you're not." Came a voice from down below on the main level of the Cave.

"Grayson." Damian noted. "Why are you here?"

"I'm bringing you to Titans HQ."

"I can drive."

Dick turned off the monitor and stood up. He met with the boys at the bottom of the stairs. "Are you two ready?"

Jon looked nervous but Damian was fairly content.

"Shotgun." Damian said, following Dick to the Batmobile. Jon jumped into the backseat.

"How long is the drive?" Jon asked.

Dick made sure both boys had their seat belts on. "About 20 minutes." He looked at Jon. "A little nervous?"

Jon nodded. "Just a bit."

Dick looked at Damian. "This is where you say something comforting."

Damian rolled his eyes. "It's- like- impossible to kill you. Don't worry so much."

"Yeah, that was great." Dick muttered.

Dick met with Tim outside of the headquarters.

"Do you think they'll work together?" Dick asked.

Tim shrugged. "They're going to have to."

Damian and Jon jumped out of the car and Jon was looking very nervous.

"Come on." Tim said, waving the boys over. He walked around the building off of a path to a large clay landscape. "This is our spar mat."

Sitting across from them were Raven and Beast Boy. They looked up from their discussion and stood up to meet with Jon, Damian, and his brothers.

"So you're learning to work together?" Raven asked.

Jon nodded. Damian rolled his eyes.

"That's pretty cool." Beat Boy said, in his human form.

"First team to pin both opposite members wins." Tim ruled. "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Damian said. "I mean- Superboy, are you ready?"

Jon nodded. "Let's do this."

They were already in position, standing back-to-back. Damian pressed his comm link.

"I've got your 6."

Jon pressed his comm like on as well. "What does that mean?"

"I've got your back- 6 o' clock."

"Oh."

Damian flipped out a double-batarang with a rope through the middle. "I'm going to trap Beast Boy. You get Raven."

Raven moved up into the air and Jon took a second to take a deep breath. He squeezed his eyes closed and then opened them, extending lasers in the air. Raven dodged them and dropped to the ground. Beast Boy transformed into a rhino and began to charge. Damian was about to jump away but he remembered Jon behind him.

"Tuck and roll!" Damian shouted. Jon looked behind him to see Beast Boy quickly approaching.

"Please work." Jon muttered, grabbing Damian by the back of his uniform. He jumped up and ascended into the air, out of the way of Beast Boys's rhino charge. Damian was surprised at first but it gave him the perfect ability to throw the bola, tying up Beast Boy, who stumbled and then crashed into the ground, taking Raven down.

"Freeze breath!" Damian yelled. Jon landed back on the ground with Damian and took a deep breath, freezing them both.

"Pin!" Damian shouted.

Tim looked on and crossed his arms. Beast Boy transformed and flew out from under the ice.

"That's cold, man." He laughed.

Jon smiled.

Raven cast a spell, shattering the ice and she rose to her feet. "I'm impressed, Jon."

Damian frowned. Jon put a hand on Damian's back. "But I couldn't do it without Damian."

Tim sighed. "Well that went by quickly."

"Next time, we're going full force." Garfield said.

Jon smiled. "We'll be ready- if you ever turn evil, we'll take you down."

Damian frowned. "Jon your enthusiasm is making me sick."

"Ha!" Jon laughed. "The grumpy to my happy. We are a good team."

"Yay."

"Okay." Dick said. "Get back in the Batmobile- we're getting ice cream.

"Shotgun!" Damian shouted.

"Not unless I get there first!" Jon laughed, running after Damian.

Tim looked at Dick.

"They went so easy on them. It was like watching dad fight a cicada."

Dick laughed. "They'll get better." He turned around to see Jon and Damian wrestling each other over the front seat. "...eventually."
