Robin was bent over his desk, shuffling through papers, looking for some sort of clue. Something big was going on. He just wasn't quite sure what yet. He heard a knock on the door.

"Robin?" Starfire's voice asked. "We are considering ordering the take-out. Would you like some?"

"I'm fine, thanks," he replied without taking his eyes off the papers strewn all over his desk. He heard Starfire leave. Suddenly his thought process was disturbed by a loud beeping noise. He checked his communicator, and it was silent. He checked his pager, computer, phone, and alarm clock for good measure. He was now officially annoyed. The sound appeared to be coming from his closet. He walked in, checking each of his uniforms carefully. There wasn't anything in any of his boots, or extra uniforms. Finally, when he had thrown everything else out of his closet he found a small box, which was lighting up with each beep. He couldn't even remember what was in that box.

He emerged from his closet, noting the mess he'd made. He hated it when his room was messy. He was going to have to fix that later. He placed the box on his bed, carefully opening it. In it were all his old gadgets. There were baterangs, anti-freeze pills, his old gas mask, and finally, a small black ear plug, beeping incisively. He put it in, surprised it still fit.

"ROBIN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" a girl's voice immediately growled in his head.

"Hi Babs," he replied. "Sorry but my stuff—"

"Never mind. I'll be there in ten," with that, Batgirls voice disappeared. Robin stood there stunned. Then something stuck him. His room was a total disaster and Babs would be here in ten minutes! Quickly he started throwing everything back into his closet, in an uncharacteristically messy fashion.

Batgirl pulled up in front of Titan Tower on her motorcycle, quickly rushing into the tower and out of the rain. When she arrived in the main room, she could tell the Titans were surprised.

"Hello," she said.

"Hi," said Starfire, even she was too surprised to be overly friendly.

"I need to talk to Robin," Batgirl said.

"Um, that's not such a good idea right now," Beastboy said. "He's sorta in one of his 'I'm going to shut myself in my room and not come out for days' moods." Batgirl nodded.

"I've dealt with that before," she told him, turning around and walking back down the hall to Robin's room. The other Titans followed apprehensively. She banged on the door. There was a crash, then some shuffling noises. Then Robin opened the door.

"Hi," he said. Batgirl just raised an eyebrow. "What do you need to talk about?" He stepped aside allowing her to enter the room. The door slid shut behind her, leaving the rest of the Titans in the hall, catching flies in their mouths.

"Why are you all wet?" he asked.

"It's raining," she replied. "So you've started shutting yourself up in your room?"

"Well, something's going on, and I've got to figure out what it is!" Batgirl sighed. She'd been hoping to stall for more time, but he was already onto what she'd come to talk about.

"What do you have?" she asked him.

"Just a bunch of random stuff. Villains coming out of the woodwork, people who I didn't even thought knew each other working together, complex schemes carried out by a bunch of idiots…" he sighed. "Someone's got to be behind it, but it can't just be one person, and I-" he saw the look on Batgirl's face. "This is what you're here about, isn't it?"

"You aren't going to like this," she told him.

"What is it?" Robin had to know. How had she managed to outwit him again?

"It's the Brotherhood of Evil," she told him. Immediately his face flushed. That meant the Justice League had to be involved, which meant…

"So Batman's trying to keep me out of this, isn't he?" he growled.

"Superman," she corrected. "He thinks you're too young. Actually, he thinks we're all too young. However, Batman managed to bring him around after that attack by Poison Ivy—"

"POISON IVY? That was months ago! And what does this have to do with…" he stopped mid rant. "They sent her here?" Batgirl could see the gears going in his head. "Why?"

"Well, their objective is usually to rid the world of superheros," she reasoned.

"So this is somehow going to relate to that..."

"But Poison Ivy isn't really a threat…"

"Maybe we are." Robin and Batgirl locked eyes. That was it. They both raced from Robin's room, nearly running over the rest of the Titans who were clearly trying to listen through the door, and into the main room. In a few seconds, they were staring at Batman and Superman on the screen.

"Batgirl," Batman started, clearly annoyed. It occurred to Robin that maybe she wasn't supposed to tell him.

"We figured it out," Batgirl cut him off, "The Poison Ivy attack." Both superhero's looked surprised.

"They wanted to know how much of a threat we were," Robin said. When they looked confused, he corrected, "The Titans." Batman caught on instantaneously, and seemed to smile faintly at the two of them.

"So you think the Brotherhood of Evil is after the Titans because you took out Poison Ivy?" Superman asked.

"No, they're after us because I'm sure Poison Ivy gave a very biased report," Robin explained.

"She loves Robin, she's never say that he beat her. She always blames things on me, she hates me," Batgirl elaborated.

"So the Brotherhood thinks we're a weak link!" Robin exclaimed.

"Which is why they've started aiming some attacks at the Titans," Batgirl finished. "We know their planning something big, this must be it!" The Justice League looked at each other.

"Give us a second," Superman said, cutting the audio. They then seemed to launch into an argument.

"The Brotherhood of Evil?" Cyborg exclaimed. "That sounds really bad!" Then the audio came back on.

"We think you are probably right," Superman said. "Don't worry, we're on it."

"Wait, we can handle this!" Robin yelled.

"Robin's right, the Titans need to stick up for themselves!" Batgirl agreed.

"The only way to prevent this from being a reoccurring problem is for the Titans to show the Brotherhood they are not a weak link," Batman agreed. With Batman on their side, they knew they'd won.

"Alright," Superman conceded. "But I won't have the Justice League left out of this completely. So, since you two make such a great team," (Yeah, she wasn't supposed to tell me, Robin thought.) "Batgirl, you're staying with the Titans until this is sorted out." With that, the two leaders of the Justice League disappeared from the screen.
