Young Justice

Caleb stumbles back "I just want to leave. Everyone else here gets to come and go as they please, even the maniac clown girl. Why am I different?"

"Mischief's been good lately...though I've been getting a bit bothered by her recent...'behavior'," Robin says, reading his book.

"Eh. Let him out," Star-Girl says, flipping through channels. "He does something stupid, we'll catch him again. Same with the clown. I just wanna watch TV in peace."

"Peace. Right. Whatever, let him go," Robin says, turning a page.

Logan shrugs and stands aside. "Alright."

"Thank you" Caleb said heading out the door "Oh, one more thing-Can somebody get this damn collar off me, it's starting to hurt."

"Here you go.", Logan said and threw him a small remote. "I think that's the right one!"

Caleb snatched it out of the air and headed out playing around with the remote dropping to the floor after shocking himself.

"OH SHIT! Sorry! Uh, this is definitely the one!", Logan says determined and unlocks the collar for him.

Caleb glanced up at him setting his pants on fire getting up slowly "Yeah, that was the right one."

"Yeeeeeouch!", Logan exclaimed running to the bathroom to put his pants out.

Caleb laughed heading out "Antone seen martian boy, wanna show him a few tricks."

"Leave him alone, matchstick," Star says, stopping on the news, staring for a bit, and flipping to cartoons.

"I'm not going to hurt the little green guy"

"Don't touch my green bretheren from another mother!", Logan exclaimed from the bathroom.

"Fine" Caleb said heading out "have fun doing nothing."

"I'm doing it" Hawk said heading out "I'm joining Superman."
Dove stood in his way trying to keep him from walking out "You can't"
"I can" Hawk said walking around her
"He's wrong" Dove said following him "and you know it."
"What I know is that we keep putting the bad guys away and they keep getting out."
"If you leave that's it" Dove shouted after him "we're done as partners and a couple."
Hawk stopped and turned back to her "If you have any feelings for me at all you won't ask me to change who I am. I'm going. Nothing you say will change my mind. If that means we're done, then I guess we're done."
Dove stood watching him leave the Titan's base.

Robin leaves the base on his glider when he's stopped by an invisible wall. "Going somewhere, bird boy?" Star-Girl says. At her side is Mischief, grinning like a maniac.

"I have a plan," Robin says.

"Uh-huh. That involve hanging around the most powerful man on the planet and pissing him off?"

"It involves enlisting with him so I can keep tabs on him and make sure we have an advantage. He's lost it. He thinks killing them all is going to fix things. Well, here's a news flash, for you. Both of you were criminals, and look where you are. My dad was a crook and he raised me to do what I do. People like you and people like my dad? There's no place for them in Superman's little fantasy world. So if I have to go and risk my neck against that kind of power, I will. And you're going to let me."

"Superman's world DOES sound ruthlessly boooring," Mischief concedes.

Star-Girl relents and lets Robin go.
