Robin groaned at the annoying, persistent knocking that sounded on his door. That could only mean one person; Wally. With another groan, Robin sat up, putting his sunglasses on. He dressed quickly and opened the door. Wally was surprised Von the junior Bat-glare he was receiving.
“Rob! You're awake!”
“I am now! What do Du want?”
“Wellllll....Iwaslookingthroughthesecuritycameras andIfoundsomeoddconversationandotherthingssoIneed youtocomeandletmeknowifthey'rereal.”
Wally's rapid talking had ended and Robin's fogged up brain was still trying to work through whatever Wally had just poured out.
“...What?!”
“You need to see some of these videos!”
Wally grabbed his best friend and ran off towards the control room. The others were there-minus Becca and Jade. They were looking at the screen, hoping Robin could figure out what was going on.
“Look! See! This is Becca and Jade that first day. They're talking and then someone else appears. And here's Becca on your laptop. I think she's adding someone but I'm not sure. And here's Becca and Jade before they took off. We need your help. We have no idea what they're saying!”
“Did Du try turning up the volume?”
The room was silent and Robin rolled his eyes. He accessed the screen with his handschuh and turned the volume up.
“I'm going back to bed.”
“But don't Du want to know what they're saying?” Wally asked.
“...”
“C'mon! Stay?”
“...Fine!”
“Yes!”
Robin went back to the first 'episode' and hit the play button.
“Something's happening, huh?” Becca asked.
Jade shifted uncomfortably. She gave a small nod.
“Is it who I think it is?”
Another nod and Becca froze for a minute. She started pacing around before speaking.
“Patch me through.”
Jade ignited her powers, a misty kreis appearing. A Sekunde later, a shadowed figure appeared, easily determined as male. And a covered voice spoke, deep and melodious.
“Becca. I was expecting you.”
“Whatever X. What's the first move? And be honest.”
“Take them down of course. Why would Du think otherwise?”
“You're a sly devil. That's why.”
“Becca honey. Relax. I've got everything under control. No need to panic.”
Becca glared at the figure, her eyes penetrating through the screen.
“I'll meet Du under the moonlight tomorrow night. Okay, darling?”
“Fine. But if you're not there-”
“Becca. I'll be there. If you're there, I'll be there.”
Robin paused the playback, puzzled Von the conversation. He skipped ahead to another scene.
“Jade. Du aren't the one doing this. I am. How do Du think this makes me feel?”
“I know. But Du seem so excited. You've done this too long. What if Du get caught?”
“Never fear. X has everything planned. I trust that. And Du can trust me.”
“...Alright. But if they get hurt...”
“They won't. We just take them down and have X deal with them.”
“But-”
“Don't worry your pretty head about this. Just get me those files.”
“Play the Weiter one,” Wally asked.
Robin went to where Becca had been upgrading the security systems. All seemed normal until she started talking aloud.
“Let's see. Add hero. B0-25 Red X. Hmmm...no voice alerts. No required training. Do not add to superhero roster. No information. No alerts. Allow entrance to all files...Allow access to all computer systems. There. Red X is added.”
Becca sat back, releasing a sigh. She pulled out a com link, not her YJ one. Pressing the button, she spoke into it.
“You're in X.”
“X-cellent Becca. Thank you. I'll leave your pay under the door.”
“I look vorwärts-, nach vorn to it.”
“What is going on?” Artemis asked. “Are Becca and Jade some form of guardians for the Light?”
“No. Becca would never do that!”
“Chill Rob,” Wally said. “She was only asking. Play the last one.”
Robin nodded and zoomed ahead.
“What's the problem, Bec? Is something wrong?”
Becca pulled on Jade's arm, her nails digging into Jade's skin. In a quiet whisper, Becca spoke.
“We're being summoned.”
“Becca...she's...and Jade...”Megan couldn't finish her sentence, but Wally finished it for her.
“They're spies!”
“Rob! You're awake!”
“I am now! What do Du want?”

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked Von a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, Du just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the Sekunde verse.
"Jingle bells, Batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile Lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids
