Hey! I'm managing to update again! Again, I'm really sorry it took so long to continue this story, but I really hope I'll manage to finish it now!


The whole league was on edge for the rest of the day, waiting for the rest of Batman's revenge, but it never came, which was almost worse. They had no idea if he even was planning anything, or if he was waiting until they least expected it.

Kaldur and Conner both returned to normal near the end of the day, just as Batman had predicted, which now left only Artemis and Robin stuck as animals. It wasn't so bad, except the others seemed to forget sometimes that the Kitten wandering around was not just a kitten and didn't appreciate being picked up or pet ALL THE TIME.

Now that the bruises on his ribs had stopped hurting, Robin was much more active and climbed almost everything in the watchtower at least once. He discovered the joys of waiting for someone to walk by and then pouncing on their heads, effectively giving them a heart attack. The only one he hadn't managed to get yet was his mentor, not surprisingly.

Every time his mentor came into range, he would glance in Robin's direction before he could attack. Eventually, Robin gave up on actually scaring him, but he jumped him anyway.

He'd leap off of whatever he had been climbing and land on his mentors head, leaning over so he could see his face and sticking out his tongue before continuing on with his day. one of these times, he would succeed in getting Batman to smile, or at least smirk.

He had managed to give almost all his teammates a good scare at least once, and their reactions were priceless. Wally had screamed like a little girl and sprinted away the second Robin jumped to the ground. M'gann yelped a flailed her arms around until they were in a fighting position only to see Robin sitting on the floor with a smirk on his face. Conner and Kaldur had been together, so Robin could only really scare one, which ended up being Conner because he was closer. Sadly, he only jumped before scowling and stalking away, Kaldur trying to hold in a chuckle at the younger boy's antics.

Now it seemed to be Artemis's turn. He could see her walking down the hall from his spot curled up in a dark corner on a shelf, but something was off. Her tail was dragging on the ground behind her and her ears were flattened to her head as it slightly drooped towards the ground. Now, Robin had hung out with cat woman enough to know what that meant. Something was bothering her.

Instead of jumping out at her and scaring her as planned, Robin slid down to the floor silently and sat with his tail curled around his paws and waited for her to notice him. She must have smelled or heard something because she looked up not long after he had settled down.

Meeting her gaze, he tilted his head to the side curiously, his own ears flattening as he tried to figure out what could be bothering her without being able to talk. Her ears perked up a little bit as he was thinking and he could see a spark of amusement in her gaze. The only reason he let her get away with thinking he was adorable was because she was sad.

She continued walking through, and he fell into step beside her as she passed. They walked in this forced silence for a few minutes before something caught Robins attention.

There was something shiny on the floor up ahead of him, and he couldn't help but scamper over to it to investigate. as he approached, it moved further away and he let out a meow of frustration as it continued to evade him. Finally, he managed to catch up to it and he lunged forward, trapping it under his paws.

lifting them slightly to see what he had caught, he was confused when he saw nothing there. Suddenly, he seemed to come back to himself and he hurriedly stood up and looked around for the source of the laser pointer, for that was exactly what he had been chasing for the last minute. He narrowed his eyes and perked up his ears, listening for any sound from someone other than him and Artemis in the hallway.

He could faintly hear muffled breathing and suppressed giggling coming from somewhere to his left and he quickly scanned the area until he could finally make out M'gann hovering near the wall. Before he could retaliate, a light reddish brown leg stepped in front of him and he glanced up to see Artemis looking much happier than she had a few minutes ago with laughter on her face, and even though she couldn't actually laugh, she was as close to it now as she could get.

He could deal with looking a little silly if it meant his friends weren't sad anymore. after all, isn't that what happened in a circus all the time? Instead of growling or anything at the now openly giggling girl floating in front of him, he just shook his head and sighed.


It had been a few days, and now the team was gathered in the lounge, waiting for Robin and Artemis to return to normal. There was a flash of light and everyone was forced to close their eyes, and when they opened them, they cheered when they saw Artemis was back. The cheering quickly quieted down though when they realized that a certain boy wonder was still a kitten.

"Oh thank god! took long enough, Right Rob-" Artemis had only just noticed that their youngest member had yet to return to normal. Robin's ears flattened to his head and he allowed himself to growl slightly in frustration. Now he was the last one to return to normal. Adding that on to the fact that he had been turned into a tiny kitten and that he was the youngest on the team, there was no way they'd take him seriously now.

He hissed and jumped back when someone tried to pick him up, startling him out of his thoughts. Wally was crouched in front of him, his hand frozen mid-air, and the whole team was looking at him with sympathy or pity, he couldn't tell. He didn't want to deal with either right now, so he turned and vanished into the closest shadow, flicking his tail angrily as he left.

When he made it to the hallway, he slipped into a vent that was easily big enough to fit at least ten of him now, whereas he barely fit before. just another thing to rub it in his face that he was STILL useless. He followed the vent until he reached the room the rest of the team was still in.

Curling into a tight ball, he rested his head on his paws and observed them sitting on the couches talking quietly. He was probably the only one to notice when his mentor walked into the room until he spoke up. "Where's Robin." The whole team jumped to their feet and spun to face him. Wally was the first to unfreeze and he mumbled out a reply that Robin couldn't make out. "What. Happened." Batman growled again, sparing a glance at the vent Robin was currently hiding in before returning his attention to the team.

"Well, Artemis turned back, obviously, but Rob didn't. I think he's just gotten really frustrated with being stuck as a cat. It doesn't help that he's the last one to turn back."

Batman's glare intensified and the team shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. "Or, Robin got tired of you decide how to treat his based on his age and size instead of his experience and skill." Robin's head shot up and he stared at his mentor with wide eyes. Of all the people to explain feelings to the team, he did not expect it to be BATMAN.

They all seemed to realize what he meant and looked up at him again, but before they could respond, Batman turned to face Robins hiding spot and spoke again. "It's highly likely they used the same dose without accounting for your smaller stature, so you will have 1 to 3 days until you change back." Then he turned and swept out of the room, leaving the team looking at each other in confusion.


Thank you for the reviews on the last Chapter, I wasn't really expecting much of a response when I posted it because it had been so long and I was sure people had forgotten about the story or given up on it. It really helps motivate me to continue writing when I hear your reactions to the chapter and ideas for what you want to see next.
