Lesson number one of superheroing; don't jump in front of spells, even if it is to save your best friend. Robin looked around, his head was killing him. One moment he had been fighting Klarion with the team and the next he was where he was now. Where he was now was the problem. He was on the outskirts of Gotham he could tell that much, it just wasn't his Gotham. There were slight differences that showed it wasn't really his home.

Looks like B's theory about alternate universes was correct. Now all he had to do was see if this Gotham had a Batman. If it did maybe he could help him get back home. Robin let out his signature cackle as he took to the rooftops.

Now where was the best place to find a Bat? That was easy; find the crime, find the Bat. Good luck for him that it was nighttime, otherwise he would've had to kill a few hours before B went out.

He jumped from rooftop to rooftop, sometimes using his grappling hook to go higher. Oh, how he loved being up high. It always reminded him of his years growing up at the circus. As he made his way through Gotham he came across a few crimes and stopped them. The moment the muggers heard cackling coming from the shadows they knew they were in for it. The civilians ran off and the muggers were left tied up at the scene. Robin stopped five muggers, one bank robbery, and a few attempted murders. He was beginning to think that there wasn't a Batman here.

Then he came to a stop on a rooftop. There in the distance, shining brightly, was a Wayne Inc. building. Well at least Bruce was in this universe, hopefully this Bruce had chosen to become Batman.

Robin sat down on the edge of the building. He needed a moment to think, plus the headache was coming back full force. A moment rest would help him. He needed to decide what he wanted to do. Did he want to just go to the manor and talk it through with him? No that wouldn't work, he would have to change into civilian clothes and he didn't want to do that. B's constant lectures and rules about letting anybody know his real identity. Even a different Bruce would count as letting someone know. Robin didn't think his Bruce would want him to let even another Batman know. Plus, he didn't have any civilian clothes with him and he didn't feel like stealing anything. He let out a sigh, this just got a bit harder.

A small groan escaped him as his head throbbed again. Ugh Klarion's spell left a horrid after effect. It felt like someone was jackhammering in his head. He took a few calming breaths to calm his headache. Then, suddenly, he heard a scream. Well it looks like he's needed again. Ignoring his headache as much as he could he took off towards the scream.

When he got there, he saw another attempted mugging. He rolled his eyes, really when would the bad guys learn? He jumped down in between the girl and the mugger. With a few well-placed kicks the mugger was on the ground moaning. He picked up the girl's purse and handed it back to her.

"Here you go miss." He said politely.

"Th-thank you." She stuttered before taking off down the street.

Robin tied the mugger up and then made his way back to the rooftop. The moment he made it up there he realized that something was wrong. He readied himself for anything before three people appeared around him all in costumes. One looked in his early to mid-twenties, one looked in his late teens, and the third looked about his age. It was the third one that made him hold back a smirk. He was obviously supposed to be Robin. If there was a robin, there was a Batman.

It was the oldest one who spoke first "Looks like we found our secret crime stopper. Hey Robin looks like you have an admirer."

Robin's eye twitched, he was nobody's admirer. He was the first and original Robin. He gave a little wave "Hi there. So, I'm in a totally un-whelming position. My name's Robin and I'm from a different universe."

"He is clearly insane Nightwing. I say we take him down." The fake robin said.

"I don't know, the Bat does have some theories of alternate universes." The middle one said.

"No one cares for your input Red Robin." The fake robin said.

"Um yeah, I'd like to get hoe as soon as possible. Could you take me to our Batman?"

Nightwing looked at him closely, there was something oddly familiar, yet not, about the kid. He could tell the kid was telling the truth. Hopefully Bruce would be able to help him. Nightwing smiled "Sure, no problem kiddo." He said chipperly. "We'll have to blindfold you though."

Robin nodded "Yeah I figured so. I would've had to do the same to you if our roles were switched. Even if I'm pretty sure where we'll end up." The Batcave would always be the Batcave.

The short ride to Wayne manor seemed to take forever for Robin. Honestly, he just wanted to get home. His friends were probably freaking out. He pitied Kaldur for having to tell B about his disappearance. His Batman had most likely gotten even crankier than he normally was. He loved Bruce; but he didn't show emotion well, or at all at times. He was Batman much more than he was Bruce.

After what seemed like forever he heard Bruce's voice "Who is that and why is he dressed like Robin?"

Before any of them could say anything Robin spoke up "Hey my name's Robin and I'm from a different universe I'd like your help to get home."

After a few minutes of silence, they were probably talking in code, Batman spoke up again "Un-blindfold him." When he could see again he saw this Batman's costume was a bit different from his. This one's Bat symbol was surrounded by a yellow oval, making the symbol pop.

Robin let out a little snicker and Batman raised an eyebrow. Obviously asking what was funny "Bruce, your costume's a bit flashy isn't it?"

"So, you know who I am?" he said ignoring Robin's comment.

"Of course, I do, I'm Robin. You are Bruce Wayne. Billionaire playboy by day crimefighter by night. You became the Bat because of what happened to your parents where you were eight. Is that enough? I could keep going if you want."

Batman looked him right in the eyes before shaking his head "No, I think that is enough. We believe you." To prove that he took off his cowl "Boys you can unmask."

"Wait Father! How can you trust this stranger so readily?" the fake robin asked.

"Damian it's fine. Dick, can you go get him a glass of water? He looks like his head is hurting him." Bruce said.

Robin's eyes went wide, how had he known? He had kept the pain concealed like Bruce had taught him. Robin's attention was drawn to the oldest, Nightwing, as he took off his mask. He was met with an older version of himself. He looked a bit different, but Robin could tell that is was him. Well, this universe was further along time wise. A shine went through Robin's eyes; he was going to get brothers!

The other two also took off their masks and Bruce introduced them "The one that went to get you water is Dick Grayson, Red Robin over there is Tim Drake, and the crabby one is Damian Wayne. What's your name?"

Robin was about to answer when his Batman's voice echoed in his head to NEVER reveal his secret identity. Robin gave a shrug "I told you, my name is Robin. You can call me Rob if you want to though."

Bruce frowned slightly "No I meant your real name."

Robin nodded "Really, my name is Robin. It's not just a code name, it is also my real name. Honest." He ended with a smile.

"So, your telling me your real name is Robin." Bruce said with a raised eyebrow, obviously not believing him.

"Yup! I thought my name was asterous that I I kept it as my hero name." Robin made up the story on the spot. He looked around, the cave had both more advanced and under-advanced tech in it from his time. "Your cave is pretty asterous too." He opened up his holo-computer "Can I test your encryptions? I'm kinda bored."

Tim let out a snort "You can try kid, but I encrypted our systems myself. It's practically un-hackable. Also, what does asterous mean? Is it some kind of slang word in your universe?"

Robin didn't look up from his computer "Hmm? Oh no. it's just the opposite of disastrous. It's just like people are usually overwhelmed or underwhelmed, why isn't anyone ever just whelmed? I don't get it." After a few more seconds Robin smirked "Tim, right? Yeah, your security sucks. I just cut through it like butter. Your security only had three walls? Or least secreted files have like twelve."

Dick came back to the room with a bottle of water to see everyone staring at Robin in disbelief "What did I miss?"

"Robin just hacked the Batcave in like twenty seconds!" Tim shouted almost angrily.

"Wow, someone that's better than you at hacking. That's pretty impressive actually." He saw that everyone had their masks off except the new comer "Here is the water bottle kid, why don't you take your mask off. It's secure in here." Dick said.

Robin took the bottle "First of all, thank you for the water. Second, it's Robin, not kid. And finally, no, my Bat would kill me if I did that." When he saw the horrified looks he was getting he chuckled "Not literally kill me. Geez. I would just get put through horrendous training while getting lectured by Bruce. Yeah don't really feel like doing that when I get back. I'll already be in enough trouble for taking a spell for KF."

Bruce stepped in "Yes that is what I was going to ask. What happened before you got sent here?"

Robin gave a shrug "The team and I got sent on a mission and like usual it blew up in our faces. We have got to be the worst recon team ever. Klarion sensed we were there and attacked. He managed to knock Miss Martian out of the air which made Superboy mad. KF tried to help but Klarion knocked him down. That made Artemis jump in to help and I couldn't just sit out. So, I went after Klarion's cat. I figured if I could get rid of the cat Klarion would get sent back to his dimension. But then Klarion was casting a spell and aiming for KF so… well I just acted. KF's my best friend and I couldn't let him get hurt so I jumped in front of the spell. That next thing I know I was on the outskirts of your Gotham with a splitting headache." Robin gave a shrug "So you know, just a normal day I guess."

Bruce's eyebrows rose "That's a normal day?"

Robin took a drink of the water and then said, "In my universe the sidekicks of the justice league formed a covert team. At first it was just Aqualad, Kid Flash, and myself. We rescued Superboy from Cadmus. A few days later Martian Manhunter had his niece, Miss Martian, join the team."

"Wait! Martian Manhunter's niece?" Dick shouted out in surprised voice.

Robin shrugged "Yeah, she snuck on his ship one time after his visits. Anyway after a few weeks Artemis joined the team. KF and Artemis did not get along at all at first. Thought that was mainly because he wanted was mainly because he wanted Red Arrow to join the team."

Bruce gave him a serious look "There are other Martians?"

Robin noticed the serious atmosphere "Well yeah, a while planet full of them. Technically there are two types of Martians. The green ones and the white ones. The white ones are decidedly rarer though. Why?"

"Here there is only one Martian left. Martian Manhunter is the last Martian, the Martians are almost extinct. J'ohn is the last one." Bruce explained.

Robin's eyes went wide "Oh. Sorry I didn't know that."

Dick put his hand on Robin's shoulder "No worries Rob, you didn't know."

"Let's you upstairs. We'll get you some clothes and get you settled in until we can find a way to get you home. Magic got you here so we'll have to talk to the Magic users in the league. It may take a while but we'll get you back home." Bruce told Robin.

Robin gave him a smile "Thanks Bruce. Could you get me a pair of sunglasses too? Secret identity's and all that. Robin didn't notice the small frown that appeared on Bruce's and Dick's faces.
