Hey, does anyone even remember this? Well, I did recently. So, here's the update.

I do not own Young Justice.

Jason was not particularly happy at the moment. Bruce was going to go on an off planet mission, and Alfred couldn't be expected to take care of the boy for such a long period of time. So, there was really only one other solution. Jason truly hated it; being honest, Bruce wasn't even completely content with the idea. Unless they were going to get a babysitter, though, this was the only way.

Which was why Jason, dressed in his Robin costume, was following his mentor into the zeta tube with slumped shoulders and the handle to his red suitcase clutched in his gloved hand. As he begrudgingly entered the cave, the boy tried to hide behind his mentor; anything was better then being seen by the teens that resided in the cave, or were there so often that they might as well have.

Unfortunately, his name being announced as he entered kind of ruined any attempt to sneak into some empty room as soon as Batman left where no one would see him, or even know he was there until, if even then, he was already gone. There fore, the entrance was soon filled with the entire team, standing about in varying levels of tolerance.

Unsurprisingly, the ones glaring most at him was Baby Flash and Superbrat. Seems neither had gained any love for him in the seven months since he had last seen them, when they had been introduced. Since he didn't particularly care for them either, he didn't feel guilty at all for glaring right back at them. He was behind Bruce; it wasn't like his mentor would see. Even if he had, Jason sort of doubted the man would be completely against the glare.

When Batman saw all the teens were present, he went straight into an explanation that Jason was near sure the man had wrote beforehand and memorized; it wouldn't be the first time Bruce did something weird like that.

"As you may have heard, an incident in space recently came up. As one of the core members of the League, I am required to go into space to help clear the issue up-"

Kid Flash, who had been leaning against the wall, annoyed, suddenly stood up and interrupted the Dark Knight.

"And let me guess, you have to leave the replacement Robin with us for one to two weeks?"

The young speedster received a bat-glare for interrupting the older hero, giving Jason a perfectly reasonable excuse for snickering slightly. The annoyed glance from his mentor was what completely uncalled for.
"While I doubt this will take that long, essentially, yes, I am leaving Jason at the cave while I am gone. There are extra rooms?"

Miss Martian walked up to Batman, a hesitant smile on her lips.

"There are plenty more rooms! Would you like me to show Jason the one next to mine that's open?"

Batman glanced down at his protégé, who tried his best to communicate that he wanted a room as far away from the teens that actually lived there as possible. While the older hero most likely did get the hint, he seemed to ignore it.

"Yes, Megan. That would be best."

Bruce then turned to leave, but put his hand on Jason shoulder and looked down at his adopted son with an encouraging expression. Unfortunately, this expression lasted for only a second before it was gone, the hero leaving with his cape billowing behind him.

As the computer announced Bruce's exit, Miss Martian looked down at him with that same smile as earlier, though Jason thought it looked a bit forced.

"Well, Jason, would you like to see your room?"

"Whatever," he mumbled, still annoyed he even had to be here.

The Martian seemed to realize this was the best response she would get out of the boy, and silently led him to a door directly next to a one labeled with her name. As she opened the door and entered the empty room, Jason followed, his suitcase rolling behind him.

"Here it is," the teen started, flipping the light switch on to reveal a rather plain room with only a bed, a wooden dresser, a matching desk and chair, and a small table next to the bed. "If you need anything, I am right down the hall, and Conner's room is right next to mine if I'm not available."

When he sat down on the bed, Jason expected the alien girl to leave the room. However, she stood there for another moment before speaking again.

"You know, you may want to come out after you've settled in. You are technically part of the team, and we haven't really gotten to meet you yet."

The girl's words made the boy snort.

"Yeah, I'm sure the resident speedster and Kryptonian would just love to get to know me better."

"I'm sure Wally and Conner would warm up to you more if they just got to be with you more..."

Though he rolled his eyes fiercely underneath his mask, Jason decided it wouldn't kill him... most likely.

"Fine, whatever."

Before leaving, Megan offered the boy one more bit of advice.

"Jason... you may want to change into civilian clothing. Hanging out in costume is kind of awkward."

The door was soon closed, and Jason was finally alone. Deciding there was pretty much nothing to do, he quickly changed into a red tee shirt, jeans, and white socks.

If he was forced to 'hang out' with these teens that obviously had no interest in him, then he was going to do it his way, which did not include shoes.

Was this slight act of rebellion immature? Yeah, but they started it by glaring at a freaking 12-year-old.

Content with the clothing, the boy walked out into the hallway, set on heading to the main room where pretty much everything was. However, he found this a problem when he realized that he had not paid attention to where he was going while following Megan.

So, pretty much, he was lost in a giant mountain. This day was going brilliantly...

As the boy wandered around, he tried to use the voices that he heard echoing through the halls to guide him towards the main room, but only ended up getting even more lost.

It was not that big a cave. He should be able to find his way through.

With these thoughts in mind, the boy continued on, barley noticing that the voices were actually getting even more quiet.

Meanwhile, in the main room, the team got ready to watch a movie. As Artemis poured popcorn into the bowls, she realized that there was one boy that, according to Megan, had said he would come out. Putting down the remaining popcorn, she left the kitchen area to talk to the rest of her friends about the missing member.

"Hey, Megan, didn't you say that Jason was going to be coming out?"

The Martian looked up from her spot next to Conner with a slightly worried expression.

"He did..."

Wally, who was sitting on one of the chairs, rolling his eyes.

"The kid is a punk, he's probably going to just hang out in his room the whole night."

Artemis sighed at the speedster's attitude.

"Wally, would please check his room, just to be sure he's okay? You know how overprotective Bats gets."

The words made the teen boy freeze for a moment as he remembered times his best friend got even a little hurt, and Batman had gotten extremely angry. Of course, this thought process ended with memories of how the older hero had seemed so broken when Dick had...

Suddenly, Wally was standing up.

"Okay, I'll just make sure that I'm right and he's slumping in his room. I'll be back in a sec, babe."

Wally then sped off, and was soon at the door to the room that Jason was currently residing. He rolled his eyes again before he knocked on the door.

"Hey, kid, are you going to come out or be totally antisocial the whole time?"

After waiting a moment, he frowned when there was no answer.

"Helllllooooo? New Robin? Jaaaaasssssooooon? Jaaaaaaay? Are you there?"

His eyebrows creased when there was still no answer.

Deciding that there was something not right here, the teen slowly opened the door.

Only to find the room almost completely empty and utterly devoid of Jason.

Now slightly worried, Wally started down the hallway, deciding that it would be best to start looking for the missing boy.

Only because Artemis wouldn't be happy if he came back without the kid and news that he wasn't in his room. Not any other reason.

On the other side of the mountain, Jason accepted that he was completely and utterly lost. There was no noise coming from anywhere, except for the echoing of his own footsteps on the cold stone floor, and even that was muffled by his socks. This area of the cave seemed to have literally no light, making it so he was pretty much just stumbling through the dark.

The area was also absolutely freezing; he must have accidentally wandered into an area that was just a normal cave that the League hadn't hooked up with lights and heating. That was the only explanation.

As he continued walking forward, his arms crossed to try to regain some heat in his bare arms, he had no way to stop himself from tripping over a bump in the stone he was walking on. Though he tried to regain his balance, there was no way to get his arms out quick enough before his head fell straight into the wall that was only a couple feet away, knocking him unconscious. As his limp body collapsed on the floor, it left a faint echo in the cave.

An echo that, while no one else could even slightly notice, Conner heard clearly.

"What was that?" the clone asked, getting up slightly from his position next to Megan, to turn towards the source of the sound.

"I didn't hear anything," Artemis said from her spot across the couch.

"It sounded like someone falling.."

"Well, everyone is here except for Wally and Jason," Megan said to her boyfriend.

"I'm going to go check it out," Conner stated, getting up from his spot to head towards where he heard the sound. Before he went into the hallways, he grabbed a flashlight, for the sound had seemed far away.

Soon, the clone found Wally, who was starting to look very frustrated.

"Hey, Conner! What are you doing here?"

"I thought I heard someone falling..."

"Well, I'm fine. Just looking for a kid who seemed to have vanished..."

The teen's voice started to fade out as realization came to him.

"You don't think..."

The two stared at each other for a second, before they both started to run forward, Wally holding himself back so that they could still look at their surroundings while running.

"How far away did it sound?" the speedster asked, nervousness edging into his voice.

"It sounded pretty far. I brought a flashlight just in case we run into an area where electricity isn't hooked up."

Only a few yards after the clone said this, they ran into an area with no light.

"Well, seems like time to pull that out."

Soon, the two were walking, pointing the light in every direction, but not finding anything, or anyone. The fact that the cold was getting worse with every step they took did not ease their worry.

Just as they were about to lose hope, though, the light shined on what seemed to be a white sock.

"Stop!"

Wally bent down to investigate further, and found a hopefully just unconscious Jason lying on the ice cold stone floor.

"We got him! He's practically frozen, though. I think I need to run him back. Are you good walking?"

Wally could barely see Conner nodding in the dark, but was able to see the motion enough that only a mere second later he had scooped up the child and dashed into the main room.

The rest of the team was rather shocked to see Wally lay an unconscious Jason on one of the chairs.

"Wally, what happened?" Artemis asked, moving towards the speedster.

"I don't know, but the kid needs a lot of blankets. And fast. Should probably have his head examined also."

As Megan moved to get the blankets and Kaldur went to get the first-aid kit, Artemis stood next to the red head.

"I thought Jason was just some replacement that you didn't care about at all."

"Well, he is... But you know how overprotective Bats gets."

Artemis smiled slightly at the teen, not believing the obvious lie even a bit.

Dick would be proud of him. It seemed that the speedster may have finally be warming up a bit to the boy.

Not really fond of that ending, but overall I like how this one turned out... sort of.
