Dick and Wally stroll into the lounge at the tower, where everyone is already halfway through eating the Chinese takeaway. Lilith looks up first, "There you guys are. What took you?"

The two men glance quickly at each other, then back at Lilith and the rest of the team. Dick is about to use his very believable excuse, but then Roy snickers, "Judging by the hickey on Dick's neck, Wally listened to my advice."

At least Roy didn't mention the very slight hitch in his step. Dick's mouth drops open, his hand flying up to his neck and turning red in the face, "What?"

He turns to Wally, "When the heck did you..?"

"Whoops.." Wally says, then speeds over to one of the couches, grabbing some sweet and sour chicken along the way. Garth full on snorts in laughter. Dick groans, walking over.

"I have work tomorrow!"

Donna chuckles, "You can borrow some concealer if you want, Dick."

Dick sits down on the couch, next to Wally and sighs, "Thanks."

Karen's confused and also in shock, jaw practically on the floor, "Am...I..I feel like I'm missing something important here.."

"Oh, while you were taking a break we had a run in with Poison Ivy and her sex pollen stuff. They hooked up. Wally realised he wasn't as straight as he thought he was and now they're an item," Roy summarises for her. Bumblebee takes a few moments to process this information.

"So..you guys are going out? Jeez, I leave for two weeks...congratulations, I guess," Karen says.

"Thanks, Karen," Wally nods, passing some chicken to Dick, who is still clearly embarrassed.

Everyone gets back to their conversations, Roy and Karen discussing aerodynamics, Lilith, Garth and Donna talking about Donna's photography career. Cheyenne Fremont is mentioned. Dick turns to his boyfriend with a question.

"Hey, Wally...Gotham pride is next month. I know you're still pretty new to this but..do you wanna go?"

Wally considers it, then grins, "You know what? Yeah. Sounds fun. I've missed out on the LGBT culture big time."

"Well I've only sort of snuck in the back door and stood in the corner myself," Dick admits, "So it's going to be new for me too."

"Maybe Roy will go with us," Wally says, then reaches over and tap's Roy's shoulder, "Hey Roy. Pride is in Gotham next month. Wanna go with us?"

Roy hums, thinking about it, then says, "Sure, why not? It'll be fun. I'll try convince Jason to come. Pretty sure his friend Artemis is bisexual. Maybe they'll finally get together. It'll be like one big bi party."

"Batgirl suggested we get matching t-shirts and sunglasses saying 'bi squad' to wear to it," Dick mentions with a laugh.

"Oooh yes. I like that idea a lot," Roy nods, "We'll look fly and bi as fuck. Do we know anyone else who can join the squad?"

"No, I think that's it, unless we invite Wonder Woman. It's insane how many bisexual people we know, I mean, what are the chances?" Dick laughs.

They continue discussing the parade with excitement and the possible return of rainbow freckle Wally, but in blue, purple and pink. The Chinese food disappears, Dick being the last to finish. Donna leaves the room and comes back a few minutes later holding something none of them have seen in a while.

"Is that..a camcorder?" Lilith asks, raising an eyebrow at the old video camera Donna was bringing over to the TV. Wally looks kind of excited, but he is somewhat still adjusting to the technology of 2018 after his return from the speed force.

"You know, Troy, phones have really good cameras now...what are you doing?" Roy says.

"Trying to figure out how to hook this up to the TV..." Donna says, "It's not just any old camcorder. It's the one I had when we were kids, remember?"

Roy gets up and walks over to help her figure out where the wire plugs in at the back,"No way! There's still footage on this?"

"Yeah. I haven't watched it yet, so I have no idea what's going to come up," Donna admits, "Aha!"

It connects to the TV, despite the age gap between the two pieces of technology. The screen is black at first, but they can hear a boy saying, "The cap is still on the lens, Donna."

The whole team snickers and Donna and Roy sit back down to watch. Someone reaches up to take the cap off and it turns out that person is a twelve year old, baby-faced Wally. The quality of the footage isn't bad, but isn't good either. The date in the corner of the screen reads 2006.

Wally in the present groans in embarrassment as his younger self sticks his tongue out at the camera. He backs away, and everyone can now see that they were in their original hideout, which happened to be a cave.

Donna moved the camera around, showing off the cave, stopping at a small Garth, who is sitting on the couch with Roy, eating jelly babies. A frame of time from back when neither of them had tattoos. Roy is wearing his stupid yellow Robin Hood style hat and Garth is wearing what could be described as blue undies. She instructs them to say hi, and Roy gives a salute, while Garth waves. Their present selves are both cringing at themselves and their old costumes.

Someone else calls Donna's name off camera and she turns around, revealing a very small Dick, who is standing proudly in his pixie boots, yellow cape, red jacket and green leotard (that looks like underwear from under the jacket). He's the most baby faced of them all. Dick watches the footage and cringes, knowing he thought he was the absolute shit in that costume, even age eleven.

Lilith and Karen are enjoying this immensely, because neither of them had been around at this early stage of the team.

"Watch this!" Dick's Robin self exclaims on the TV, then does a flip, followed by a cartwheel which ends up in a one-handed handstand.

"Show-off," Wally nudges his boyfriend with a snicker, earning a, "Shut up."

Back on the screen, a twelve year old Wally runs up behind his friend and yells, scaring the crap out of Robin and causing him to fall on his face. Just like on the tape, everyone in the room laughs. Dick pulls up the hood of his hoodie, to try hide some of his shame.

That particular clip ends, going to another clip, which clearly wasn't being filmed by Donna, as she was in it, smiling at whoever held the camera, sitting on a couch. Snickers are heard behind the camera. She puts her finger to her lips as the camera moves to show a sleeping Wally on the couch opposite.

Dick slowly rises up behind the couch in a comedic fashion, then holds up the paper plate of whipped cream he has in his possession.

Present-day Dick yells, "Ha! Revenge!"

Robin Dick pies Wally in the face, then ducks behind the couch again, so Wally doesn't see him when he wipes the cream off of his face with his hands and shouts, "HEY!"

Donna, Roy and Garth snicker. Dick's cackling is heard and Wally looks behind the couch, but the culprit is clearly nowhere to be seen.

Adult Wally says to Dick, "Man I hated it when you vanished like that with no-" he turns to see the couch empty next to him, "Ah nuts. Where the fuck did he go?"

Everyone looks around the room, their leader nowhere in sight. He hadn't bothered pulling a disappearing act in a while.

"I always found that really creepy," Garth admits directing his voice to nowhere in particular, "No offence Dick, wherever you went."

They can hear him almost pissing himself laughing somewhere, but nobody has any idea where, due to the size of the room and him taking advantage of the echo perfectly.

"He's going to pop up when I least expect it and scare the shit out of me, I just know it," Wally says, green eyes darting side to side in suspense.

The next clip starts playing on the TV and they all turn to look at it. The justice league were in this one, clearly unaware they were being filmed. The camera zooms in on Batman, who turns his head slowly to face the camera, giving a signature Batman eye-narrow. His cape ruffles a bit, and Robin sticks his head out from under it, giving a little wave.

Donna, Lilith and Karen all give out an 'aww.'

The next piece of footage was of twelve year old Donna trying to do make up on Dick. Red lipstick, blue eyeshadow and way too much blusher. It looked horrendous. He had taken his mask off too, which was surprising at that time.

"Oh my god Donna, you did that?" Lilith giggles. Donna crosses her arms, "It's not like back then everyone made makeup tutorials on YouTube. YouTube was still pretty new in 2007."

"Why is poor Dick getting his makeup done? How did you convince an eleven year old boy to be your model?" Roy asks.

"You and Wally weren't there when I asked, that's how. You guys would have mocked him," Donna says. Roy looks at Wally, who nods, "Yeah she's right, we definitely would have."

"As awful as it looked, it was pretty fun," Dick says, suddenly standing behind the couch and causing his boyfriend to almost jump out of his skin. Karen jumps a bit too. Dick snickers, hopping over the back of the couch and setting down again.

"You're lucky I don't have a heart condition anymore man," Wally says once he's calmed down, "Because that would have given me a heart attack right there."

Another clip shows the Titans hanging out in a park somewhere in civilian clothing. Roy and Dick are playing Pokémon on Nintendo DSs. Wally is watching them, eating a massive sandwich and giving his insight on various Pokémon. Donna pans the camera over to the fountain, where Garth is sitting in the water.

Lilith and Roy snicker at Garth's younger self, who is looking at all the coins at the bottom. One of the other boys shouts something about jiggly puff, setting off a series of excited screams.

In the next video, they're all a bit older, roughly 13-14. The camera is set up on a stand rather than being operated by someone. Garth's costume has acquired pants, but Donna and Dick haven't yet joined him in this, still showing off their bare legs. They're all playing twister.

"Oh yes!" Present-day Dick exclaims, knowing this is a victorious clip for him rather than an embarrassing one.

Robin is not wearing his cape and it's only him and Donna left, with Roy, Wally and Garth sitting at the sides. Garth is operating the spinner and calls out, "left foot blue, Donna."

Teenage Donna tries her best to place her foot on the correct circle, but looses her balance and falls onto the plastic mat. They continue playing, probably just to see how long Dick can keep contorting himself.

"What the hell man. You're literally bent in half," Kid Flash comments, watching in wonder just like the others. The camera is turned off and a new clip starts playing. They're all older again, 14-15. It's probably from around 2011. Everyone had hit a growth spurt at that point aside from Dick, who was still firmly the shortest and still not wearing pants. Donna's costume has changed to a red one-piece with yellow stars.

Lilith was likely to be in the next clip, if there was one, but for the moment it was still the original team, sitting around eating pizza. Dick and Wally are sat on the floor playing a video game with each other, their sides pressed together closely. Wally is very clearly letting Dick win.

They can hear Roy trying to flirt with Donna as she holds the camera. Adult Roy groans at his bad pickup lines. The clip isn't much more than the team hanging out and having fun.

The next piece of footage involved the cinnamon challenge, and Lilith was now there. It's Wally's turn first and he's holding the spoon filled with cinnamon dust, boasting that he loves cinnamon and it can't possibly be that bad.

"I was so, so wrong," Present-day Wally sighs as he watches his younger self cough out puffs of cinnamon.

Everyone takes their turn with equally disastrous results until it gets to Roy, who just puts it into his mouth, grimaces a little and somehow manages to swallow most of it.

"What is wrong with you, dude!" Teenage Wally exclaims. Roy shrugs.

"You haven't eaten Green Arrow's chili sauce. Him, Batman and I are the only ones who can eat it," Roy explains, "Once you've done that spice you can do 'em all."

"Disgusting," Garth comments, everyone else nodding along with them.

After that, there wasn't much footage left on the camera, due to smartphone cameras taking over. Wally runs around and clears up the Chinese takeaway in a matter of seconds. Karen decides she has to leave, to 'help Mal with baby duty.'

Donna unplugs the camera from the TV and then turns to Dick, "C'mon. Let's get you some concealer."

Dick stands up and awkwardly rubs his neck, blushing, "Thanks, Donna."

"No problem," She waves it off, leading him out of the lounge. Two minutes later she's digging around in her makeup bag in her room. Dick stands behind her, waiting.

"Is it what you hoped?"

He's not really sure what she means as she pulls out the small bottle of peach-coloured liquid, "What is?"

Donna turns around, "Being with Wally."

"Oh. Yeah, It's great. It hasn't ruined our friendship at all. We went to see his Aunt Iris for coffee."

"I'm glad you're not still pining for him. It was painful watching you gazing at Wally and him being clueless," Donna jokes, "Now, let me show you how to use this."

She grabs a spare makeup brush and squirts a little bit of liquid onto the back of her hand. She dabs the brush into it and then applies it to his neck in circular motions.

"There you go! You can keep this bottle if you want. It's almost gone anyways. The brush is spare, one I got double of by accident," She hands him the brush and small bottle of concealer.

"Thanks again, Donna. I'd have gotten hell at work tomorrow without this."

"Like I said, it's no problem. That's what friends are for. How is work?" She asks as they walk back out of her room.

"Well, I somehow got roped into teaching self-defence classes tomorrow at Zee Mores after my morning patrol. That's going to be great."

"It'll be fine, you're a great teacher, Dick."

"I think it was less about my teaching skills and more, 'send the rookie to do it,' you know?" Dick sighs, "It's a break from filling out paperwork."

"Make sure you actually get enough sleep. Wouldn't want one of the trainees to show you up," Donna jokes.

"Oh, that's pretty unlikely."

----------------------------

"Ooof-" Dick lets out a weird sound as he falls backwards onto the gym mat, landing on his butt. He is teaching the self-defence class and a Latin-American girl, maybe a year younger than him, had volunteered to go last. She hit him right in the face and knocked his police hat right off.

"Like that?" She asks, knowing she had kicked him perfectly.

"Yeah, but never again to a police officer, okay? I'm guessing you've done this before?" Dick says, getting back on his feet and picking up his hat. Embarrassing. She introduces herself.

"Catarina Flores, Officer. I trained at Quantico."

"FBI. That explains a lot," He says, taking her offered hand and shaking it politely, "Well, it's nice to meet you, Agent Flores. Though, I doubt there's much I can teach you today."

"Not 'Agent.' Just call me Catalina. I didn't stay with the bureau. And if you can't teach me, maybe you can make some recommendations. I'm interested in learning Jujitsu, Capoeira, Kaje Kempo, kick boxing and basic sparring. I'm also interesting in your phone number, Officer Grayson. I may find I have some follow-up questions for you. Perhaps too, you'll find you have some follow up questions for me."

"Uh," Dick says as she walks out. He's used to women openly flirting with him. He brushes it off. It's too complicated to explain to her that he has a boyfriend right now. Dick puts his hat back on over his messy black locks.

He heads back to the patrol car, spotting some kids messing around on it. One kid sees him and warns the rest, "Kenny, get down! Here he comes!"

Kenny, who is standing on the hood of the car with his hands forming fists yells at Dick as he approaches, "I ain't doin' nothin' wrong!"

"Actually, you are-" Dick says with a smile, "If you take a swing at me like that you're going to break your thumbs. Keep em' out, like this," He instructs, showing him how.

"Okay, now try," He lets Kenny hit his hands, "There you go! Good job."

"Thanks."

Dick lifts him off of the car and puts him back on the ground. The other two kids are shouting for a turn, but he shakes his head, "Sorry, but I've got to get back to the station."

"Awww. Hit me Kenny! Hit me!"

Dick gets back into the car and drives away, a little smile on his face.
