Chapter 1: Languages

The languages they speak come from the YJ wiki and other wikia's.

Team Year 2: August 16 of 2012

It was just another day at the cave. Wally and Artemis were bickering about something stupid as usual. They would probably make up later with a bunch of making out. Which is exactly what Conner and Megan were doing in a secluded corner. Zatanna and Raquel where painting each others nails and Kaldur was filing mission reports. Just then Robin arrived.

"Batman sent me. Mandatory training. Canary should be here soon."

With that the boy blunder plopped himself onto the couch where Zatanna and Raquel were talking.

"What's up with my beautiful girls?" Robin had started puberty and lets just say he had attracted more attention than ever.

"I'm trying to convince Zatanna that Richard Grayson will never be hotter than Bruce Wayne. I could eat that man up. I mean ummmm those muscles." Raquel iterated her point as Robin choked. Oh my, what would happen when she found out Bruce Wayne was really Batman?

"No, Richard Grayson will grow up better. Did you see that shirtless photoshoot of him the other day?"

"True."

"I mean that boy's got it going for him. Plus those eyes and that beautiful dark hair."

"To be honest he would look better if he had Rob's hair." Raquel pointed out to the amusement of Wally who had just walked in.

"Can you guys stop discussing this it's gross." Wally pointed out.

"What's gross?" asked Dinah who had just walked in for training.

"Ask Canary. She's been to enough benefits. But I have to say I've met Richard Grayson and he looks better in real life. Even Wally couldn't beat that."

"Hey!" Wally glared at Artemis before turning his glare to a chuckling Robin and Canary.

"I don't really want to say. Oliver and I are good friends of the Wayne's it's extremely odd to think about them like that." Canary tried to get out of it putting an emphasis on extremely.

"Now gather up today we are doing language training."

"Why would we need that?" Wally said looking bored Robin was trying to sneak out.

"Robin stay. Batman expressed a good reason for you to stay. To answer Wally's reasonable question you travel all over the place for missions. It's important to be able to communicate with the people you meet."

"Fine."

"So what languages do you guys speak? Let's start with Kaldur and end with Robin."

"I speak Atlantian and ancient Greek, (a little bit of modern as well), English but that is all."

"I speak English and a little French." Rocket put in.

"I speak English, Latin, Italian and take French in school." Zatanna went next.

"I speak Martian, English and am learning Spanish in school though using my abilities I can translate." Megan said eager to share as always.

"I speak English and am fluent in Spanish, Atlantean, French, Korean, Arabic, and Russian plus some others I don't know the name of." Conner had been taught by Cadmus after all.

"I speak English, and know French from my mom and am learning Latin plus I know a few words in Romani."

"What's Romani?" Megan asked, "Why did you learn it?"

"It's a European dialect spoken by gypsies. I learnt it for a friend. "

"I actually didn't know that about you Baywatch. That's very considerate of you." Artemis pecked Wally on the cheek.

"I have a friend that speaks Romani as well. I speak English and fluent Vietnamese and French, and know a little Arabic from my past and some Spanish from school. "

"I guess I'm the last one, beside my native language I speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, Swahili, and Cantonese." Robin said laxly.

"There is no way you speak all of those!" Artemis was shocked.

"I traveled a lot when I was younger. It was necessary to learn them to communicate. My family taught me English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. Batman taught me Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin, Swahili and Cantonese."

"So English isn't your original language?" Ms. Martian asked.

"No, I spoke Romanian and Romani growing up. " Robin replied.

"I guess that explains playing with prefixes." Superboy said.

"Why did Kid Flash find it necessary to learn Romani?" Aqualad finally joined the conversation.

"Scarecrow." The answer made everyone shiver. They had fought him a few weeks ago and were scarred emotionally and physically by it.

"Robin!" The team turned to see Batman.

"Hey." The boy wonder waved meekishly.

"You gave away too much. The team will continue language training without you."

"Really? They won't be able to discern my identity. I can't cern it for them can I?" The team heard Robin ask as the Zeta Beam activated.
