3rd Person POV

The two teenaged surface boys sat on the green couch, in front of the very large flat screen, playing a video game. In all honestly Kaldur'ahm had stopped paying attention after the first 20 minutes of the two boys playing. Instead he sat a chair behind the couch, leaning on the back two legs and reading a book. He hadn't even been aware of how long it had been until he heard Wally's cry of victory. He glanced up, curious, he saw what expected from the speedster, standing up and basking in his virtual glory. Yet, it was the reaction, or rather a lack thereof, by the Boy Wonder that confused him. The raven continued to sit on the couch, the remote sitting on the coffee table, but he did not seem bothered by his defeat as the Atlantean knew Wally would be. In fact, Robin looked up to Wally, through his sunglass covered eyes and merely smiled.

However, Robin stopped a mere second later as if he realized he was being watch by the Atlantean. Considering that his gaze rounded Kaldur, he suspected that he did know, and was none too happy about it.

M'gann's cheery attitude was exactly what would be needed to clear the tension in the room, and they were very luck that she came in when she did. Both boys forced their staring contest to end. Even further Robin turned back towards the TV and calming Wally West. "Hey you guys!" her cheeriness was definitely an improvement, and would've stayed that way if Wally wasn't an idiot. He used his superspeed to zip around the couch and end up near the Martian.

"Hello to you too, beautiful." he struck out and everyone in the room knew that, even Wally. Yet, he was never one to take a hint. Subtlety was never his strong suit.

Kaldur decided against watching this trainwreck, and found his eyes resting on the Boy Wonder once more. This time the youngest in the group didn't seem to notice his gaze, as his attention was undivided on something else. More specifically the trainwreck Kaldur just turned away from. Despite the fact that Robin was wearing his usual sunglasses, his eyebrows here visible, and they were drawn together, creating creases not only between the two but also on his forehead. As the scene behind him continued, he didn't need to be paying much attention to sense the new level of bad-flirting Wally had achieved. In response Robin's eyebrows tightened and they were probably making the young teen squint, if their nearly diagonal positions were anything to go by.

Though this information brought on a new question. Why was Robin reacting this way?

He was so concentrated that he missed Conner and Artemis walking in. However once he sensed their presence, he saw a similarity between two unlikely suspects. Conner and Robin, both of them glaring, at Wally. He knew about Conner's like for M'gann, but he figured Robin would also know. Did the Boy Wonder really not see it? He could understand Wally, he was kind of an idiot, but Robin always seemed to pick up on things very quickly. How did the Boy Wonder not see it?

Finally it seemed like Wally had given up, for tonight, and came to sit beside Robin. The instant Wally had left M'gann's presence Conner had calmed down, but Kaldur noticed that it took Robin an extra second to lessen his glare until his face was once again neutral.

"Round 2?" Wally asked, and that was when Robin finally turned to face Wally. Kaldur then realized the only person in that direction was M'gann… but there was no way Robin was glaring at M'gann… right?

"No thanks." Robin spoke simply. "I've got my butt kicked by you at this game a few too many times tonight." with that the Boy Wonder stood and headed to the kitchen. Easily dodging the other girl who was flittering around the same space.

"We've only played once." Wally whined.

"Yeah, one, forty minute race. Another one of those, no thanks." Robin said snapping slightly at the speedster, as he reached into the cupboards for a glass. Then stepping slightly to his right and opening the freezer and putting a few ice cubes in his glass before moving to the sink and filling the remaining empty space in the glass.

Despite his refusal to play against the speedster again, he did return to the same spot on the couch. Said speedster seemed to expect it and zipped around to round up the game controllers in a matter of second, before returning to 'his' spot on the couch.

For the first time since Kaldur met him Wally West stilled, as in stopped entirely. Kaldur continued to observe, realizing that the speedster was staring at acrobat. The raven seemed to not be bothered by it, and audibly sighed as he rolled his eyes. Or presumably so, it was hard to tell with the sunglasses. "Really, Walls?" he questioned, sounding bored. "Again?"

"What again?" Artemis questioned, as she sat in one of the chairs in the main sitting room. Just to the left of the couch.

"Bats has forbidden Rob from telling anyone his secret identity, so I won't have him tell me, I'm going to figure it out." Wally stated, there was pride in his voice, but his eyes never left the raven.

Robin sighed, and adjusted his head slightly so he was look past Wally to Artemis. "He's been trying to ever since I learned his, as if this is some form of payback."

"How long ago did you learn his secret identity." M'gann asked curiously.

"Three and half years ago." Robin replied smugly.

Artemis, M'gann and Kaldur all laughed, Conner may not have verbally contributed but Kaldur could see the smile coming onto the clone's lips.

"Wally, I think it's time you threw in the towel." Artemis suggested.

"I agree." Kaldur spoke up, he had known the two the longest, and not knowing Robin's secret identity could be annoying at time, yes, but he learned to accept it.

"What?" Wally asked, incredulously, looking away from the Boy Wonder and to the Atlantean. "Kaldur, you can't be serious."

"If he wishes to tell us, it means he trusts us, if not it's his own choice." Kaldur responded simply.

"Oh, ouch." Artemis said, with a sly grin on her face as she looked to Robin. Kaldur rethought his words and realized the implication they held that he didn't mean to put in them.

"Robin, I-" he began, but the youngest raised his hand silently cutting him off.

"It's fine Kaldur." Robin spoke simply, as if he truly did not care. However, after knowing each other for years Kaldur knew the Boy Wonder was just not letting it show.

"Baywatch." Artemis spoke up, breaking the tension in the air. "Can I have the remote?"

The redhead did a quick double take before tossing the remote to the blonde. Who caught it and turned on one of the many news channels.

It was a slightly off-branch news cast, none of the big names, but they still gave interesting and good news. "Hello everyone and welcome back, I'm Deena Rickson, and do we have an interesting story for you tonight." Wally and Robin groaned realizing this was only a gossip channel. "Billionaire Bruce Wayne and his adoptive daughter Rixie- Rachel Grayson."

Wally's attention turned straight back to the screen. It was no secret that Rixie Grayson was liked by teenaged boys across the country. Especially considering Artemis' groan at the mention of her name. Kaldur, Conner and M'gann seemed vaguely interested, while Robin couldn't seem to care less.

"Or can we even call her that?" Deena Rickson asked rhetorically. "Press around Gotham has been finding the teen more and more, supporting an astonishingly short hair cut."

*Tape Footage*

"Is that Rixie Grayson?" one of the voice's off camera asked in shock. As the zoomed in on the ravenette, who instead of sporting the waist length crisp hair she had in her photo of her and Bruce Wayne, this time it was cut above her ears, in a fashion that could only be described as a boy cut. Which was unorthodoxed considering she was wearing a Gotham Academy girl's uniform, the pleated skirt and figure hugging blazer clearly showing off her gender.

"Rixie." another voice shouted as the people behind camera approached the teenaged girl.

She was clearly startled, and was none too happy when she realized who it was. "Yes?" she asked, politely all the same.

"What did you do with your hair?" a third voice asked, this one being female.

"I cut it for Gymnastics, it gets really annoying on the uneven bars, throws off my weight distribution." she replied simply, before taking her order, of a pastry and a coffee and leaving.

*End of Footage*

"While that sounds like a reasonable excuse, we have to remember that Gymnastics is a spring sport." Deena Rickson cut in. "Is it possible that Rixie Grayson may not be as much of the girl as we think she is?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" M'gann questioned, but no one responded, all four that could've explained it were staring at the screen in shock.

"Is it possible that Rixie Grayson, heiress to Wayne Technologies is actually a transgender?" Deena once again asked rhetorically. "Can-" the screen went black before the reporter could continue, except it wasn't Artemis who turned it off. It was Robin, who at some point had ended up in the prime spot to take it from her and turn it off.

There was one of three looks on everyone's faces. M'gann and Conner looked confused, Wally, Artemis and Kaldur looked shocked and Robin looked ready to jump through the TV and strangle the gossiper.

All was horribly still and tense in the room before Conner broke it. "What did she mean?" he sounded honestly confused, and his expression backed it up. Wally, Kaldur and Artemis all managed to shake off their shock and turn to Conner and M'gann.

"Transgender just means that someone may have been born male, but identifies as a female, or vise verse." Wally explained in simple terms.

"It's also none of the media's business." Artemis said sourly. "I go to school with her, Monday is going to be hell."

"Watch it Rob, you keep that up and you might actually get heatvision and melt the TV." Wally joked, noticing the Boy Wonder's heavy glare at the TV.

It took the raven a few seconds to look as if he had even heard the speedster speak. When he did seem to register it, he gave a halfhearted smile, and set the remote back down on the arm of the couch. As he walked over everyone expected him to go and sit down beside Wally, but he passed right by him. His finger going to the communicator in his ear. "Hello?"

There was a mid baritone-tenor pitched voice on the other side, but the words weren't distinguishable.

"Yeah." Robin muttered, sounding both annoyed and defeated.

The voice returned on the other end, judging by the way Robin flinched he was getting it.

"I know, I know." he said, now almost sounding impatient.

The voice returned for a third time, though this time Robin looked slightly hopeful.

"Yeah, I'll do that." he promised. Then he dropped the comm. link.

"Who was that?" M'gann questioned, her curiosity showing once more.

"Agent A, look I've got to call Bats, you need me, I'll be in my room." his voice seemed to hold more bite than any of them had ever heard him have with them before. Not giving them time to respond as he walked away.
