Hey everyone! Surprise! I'm alive! I've just been a little busy with school. Honestly, I've had this chapter done for a while, I just couldn't find time to proofread it until recently.

Well, I hope you enjoy this next installment.


After Batman finished speaking with Roy and Zatanna, he told the mentors that some of them would need to help search.

"Why can't all of us look?" Flash asked.

"The search would be much quicker with more of us," Aquaman added.

"True, but we still need to figure out a plan to turn the team back to their normal age. We can't stop all progress for a few hours to waste time searching. Besides, I'm

certain Roy and Zatanna will find them," Batman said.

The others nodded at that.

"Barry and I can leave to search for the kids while the rest of you stay here and think of a way to get the team back to normal," Martian Manhunter suggested.

They all agreed to that, he and Barry left to go find the team.

With the two terrified babysitters:

After searching for a few hours, Zatanna and Roy needed a break. Zatanna had used a lot of teleportation spells, so she was exhausted.

They decided to head back to the mountain while they waited, in case the team went back there. It was unlikely, but they could hope.

Roy tried thinking of any other places the team might have gone, somewhere they missed. So fay they'd checked everywhere in Happy Harbor(the kids left on foot, so it's not like they were going to get very far) and all of the nearby areas.

Eventually, he decided to check the security footage and see if the team had come back while they went searching. After watching it, he felt like a fool.

"See anything interesting?" Zatanna asked.

"So you know how we saw the kids leave on the footage"

"Yeah"

"Well, it turns out they didn't go much farther than just outside the mountain. At least, that's my guess"

"Are they there right now? Wait- what do you mean 'guess'? Don't you know?"

"They're not there anymore. But they were. Until we left to look for them."

"…..What are you talking about?"

Roy pulled up the footage again.

It showed the team entering after Roy and Zatanna left, then using the teleporter leave. Robin, Artemis, Wally, and Kaldur went back to their hometowns, while M'gann and Conner went to Metropolis.

"We need to tell the league," Zatanna stated.

"No duh. I just hope they all went home and didn't get into any trouble."

They called the league again. Batman answered.

"This call better be because you found the team"

Since Roy spoke with him last time, Zatanna had to do it this time.

"Well, not exactly, but-"

"Then why are you calling?"

"We know where they went"

"They used the teleporter didn't they?"

"Yes. Robin and Artemis went to Gotham, Wally to Central City, M'gann and Conner to Metropolis, and Kaldur to Atlantis."

"I'll call the search party to let them can handle the powered ones, but I want you two to get Robin and Artemis from Gotham."

They could tell he wasn't happy about letting two metas into Gotham, but he didn't have much of a choice at the moment.

"Yes, sir!"

Batman hung up, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do we have any idea where in Gotham they are?" Zatanna asked.

"I think I know where Robin went to, but you're on your own finding Artemis" Roy replied.

They split up after teleporting to Gotham, and Roy immediately starting going in the direction he thought Robin was.

Zatanna was pretty sure Artemis went home, but she couldn't be certain. It was her best bet though, so she teleported to her front door. She knocked and waited for a minute

before Artemis' mom answered.

"I believe I can assume you are here because of my daughter's condition?"

"Yes ma'am. I was going to call you earlier to inform you she wouldn't be coming home tonight, but I got a bit sidetracked when she ran away."

"So is this only affecting her?"

"No. Everyone on the team besides Rocket and me are like this"

"I'm guessing you'd like to take her back then?"

She gestured to the sleeping archer in front of the TV.

"Yes ma'am. Batman's orders"

"I was hoping to spend more time with her as a kid, but I guess if it's Batman's orders..."

"Thank you for understanding ma'am"

Zatanna carefully picked up Artemis, as not to wake her, and took her back to the mountain.

Now with the other babysitter:

Roy was almost certain of where Robin was. It took a while to get there, but eventually, he made it to the Wayne Manor and knocked on the door.

"Welcome, Master Roy" Alfred answered, "Would you like to come in?"

"No thanks, Alfred. I'm just wondering if any kid who looks like Dick but ten years younger is inside."

"In fact, there is a child fitting that description sleeping in Master Bruce's room. You needn't bother explaining it, I've already been informed of the situation."

"Then why didn't you call when you found him?"

"I was busy taking care of him. It isn't easy watching a four year old. I figured you would have figured out where he was by now."

"In our defense, we thought he left on foot"

Alfred gave him a look that screamed "sass", but didn't say anything else. Instead, he went into the house, grabbed the sleeping Dick, and gave him to Roy. He also handed him some sunglasses for Dick to wear.

Roy took Robin back to the teleporter, being very careful not to wake him up. It took a long time for him to get there since he was forced to walk, for fear of waking up Robin.

By the time he made it back, the rest of the team had been gathered and put in their rooms

"About time you showed up," Zatanna teased.

"I had a lot of walking to do," he responded.

Roy out Robin back in his room, and he asked Flash and Manhunter where they found the others.

"Wally was with his family. He was driving them crazy for a few hours before crashing. His parents didn't seem to mind me taking him off their hands," Flash said.

"I found M'gann and Conner sleeping in Clark Kent's apartment," Manhunter added.

"What about Kaldur?" She asked.

"Aquaman went to Atlantis to get him," Flash said.

Flash and Manhunter left to get Batman, but Roy and Zatanna found they were too tired to care about their imminent death. Instead, they went to sleep, Zatanna in her room, and Roy on the couch.

It was their favorite part of that day.
