Five team members who figured out Robin's identity and didn't tell him and the one person who did.

Megasuperbonus for one being Roy.

Gen/any pairings between YJ members welcome.

I'm going to promise to do this because I had an idea that worked with this and if I don't promise now I'll forget to ever do it. I have placement testing soon so I don't know how long it will take me to write this. I will do it tho! :)

I'm going to need to find a Romani babblefish for my idea, which is impossible. I may just ask everyone to pretend Romanian is Romani in the end. *cultural sensitivity fail*

The best Romani dictionary thing I could find online was this, if you're interested:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Vft_LVwHeIkJ:webspace.webring.com/people/wt/tempestgypsy/romdict.html+Romani+dictionary+by+tempest&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com

And yeah, I had to use Google's cache for a snapshot of the website, cause apparently the original one isn't up anymore (or at least it's not loading for me). I found it pretty helpful though. :)

Thanks for this, it's going to be helpful. It works better for me w/o the cache.

I'm done with college orientation so I'll be writing this up soon.

Queen Residence, 2007 A warm glow reflects off the dangling crystals of the grand chandelier as the young man moodily enters the ball room. Each guest at the charity function looks at place with the surrounding luxury. Roy drinks the scene in. An elegant woman in a stark white dress dainty sips red wine from Bordeaux stemware. An up and coming entrepreneur schmoozes with an elderly gentleman of a vast media empire. With a purposeful stride, a servant maneuvers gracefully through cliques of guests to reach the beckoning host of the party. The host is none other than Queen Industries' Oliver Queen ( ... )

There is one benefit of being stuck in Ollie's estate over the years: he knows all the good hiding places. Roy, when he was younger, found each of the the oddly roomy closets, out of sight corners, overstuffed storage rooms, dusty libraries, and unused nooks and crannies ( ... )

“Why are we laughing, Dick?” Roy gets out between hasty gulps of air. Dick just shakes his head ( ... )

Ah! You're filling my prompt and filling it so wonderfully! This was such a sweet, true to form moment between Roy and Dick. *squees for the epic use of Roy* Thank you so much! I cannot wait for more!

Thank you!

The story would be less fun to write without Roy in it, for sure.

The next chapter is Miss Martian. I'm just editing it for posting right now

A/N:
This chapter was one sentence in my outline. Apparently, the space a chapter takes in an outline is not proportional to its the length. I doubt the rest of the story will have chapters this long...mostly because I'm too lazy to format long things into LJ. ;)

Gotham City, 2011 Her green flesh is shadowed by flashes of light as she floats upwards away from the flames below. The red hot heat of the fire makes Miss Martian's eyes dry and itchy. Balling her hands into fists, she aggressively rubs her closed eyes. Her attempts to sooth her eyes inflict more damage as the black soot and grease that cover her palms pass beneath her eyelids. Miss Martian had forgotten her hands were so dirty. In the grand scheme of things, it hadn't seemed to matter. She opens her irradiated, watering eyes when a determined voice breaks through the static on the comm system ( ... )

Feeling significantly calmer, M'gann sets up her psychic link, but only with Aqualad and Robin included.

“How is this?”

“Hearing you loud and clear,” Robin thinks.

“Good work, Megan,” Aqualad projects. “Will the others be able to join in after the tasks you ordered are completed?”

“I think I can handle it. I'm sorry this is so hard. I should be better than this.”

“I said you're doing well, Megan. Do not doubt me,” Aqualad orders. “We are all learning as fast as we can. You have nothing to blame yourself for.”

M'gann sends the two boys her feeling of thanks.

The Martian, a minute later, links up the rest of the team after they return to the building ready for action. Each teen, communicating their actions over the mind-link, goes off to work in a different wing of the hotel.

“Bossman, is it just me or is this fire suspicious?” Kid Flash asks.

“I agree it has the markings of an arson, KF,” Aqualad replies.

“It's more than that. It's a coverup,” Robin claims.

“Explain.” Aqualad and the rest of the team feel ( ... )

You are what is considered a toddler on Mars. Your skin is the young green of a baby leaf. Eventually, this smooth coloring will fade with age. You work hard to block your parents from your mind. They are amused by your attempts and you feel their bemusement as if it is your own. Finally, you find a moment where you are alone. It startles you, this new emptiness within your mind. You have never been by yourself, the only presence in your own mind before. You have never been away from the awareness of a loved one which melds with your own until both of you become interchangeable, fractional pieces that make up one soul. Your mind flares with panic and you grab your parents back into your mind. There is a ripping pain from the sudden rejoining. Robin's mind attempts to jerk away from this feeling of loneliness. A bursting of emotion swells behind the surface of his mind and he pushes it down hard. M'gann is left with the impression that Robin has experienced the feeling of solitude vividly in his own life. This isn't what Megan was ( ... )

Miss Martian finds Robin's position and swoops him up. She flies him to the front of the building. There is a commotion. A circle of people surround...something. Robin cannot make out what it is. He notices that Megan's mind has disconnected from his own. She is hiding from him what she knows from the minds of the emergency personnel ( ... )

A observant man in a long, unbuttoned coat sits nearby the object of your derision. The large man watches you stare straight through the boy, piercing his heart and ripping it out with the force of your fury. The hush of the crowd turns into chaos. The man stands tall and you are forced to notice him ( ... )

word to the advice, NEVER write a story with both mind-talking (quotes with italics) AND flashbacks (just italics). It is not fun. haha.

Miss Martian floats away sullenly and hides her body among the clouds in the fading darkness of the night. Soon, a lengthy debate between Aqualad and Artemis begins. Artemis demands to call M'gann back down over the comm system in order to press her harder about Robin. Aqualad wants to leave her alone ( ... )
