A/N: I thought that I should do something new and different. This just popped into my head and I had to write it down. I noticed that nobody else had done anything like this so I thought "Hell why not?" I don't know if I am going to continue it or not because of other stuff going on in my life but I do have some ideas that I want to write for this story so maybe someday there will be a conclusion. However, if I get reviews that demand me to update ASAP or you'll hunt me down…then I might possibly change my mind. ;) Enjoy and Review :D

Oh yeah, I also do not own Batman or Teen Titans…which sucks.

Chapter One:

This was the last place she wanted to be. Anywhere but here.

Hell, she'll rather be trapped in the Bat Cave all night long then come here and do what not only what her father expected her to do but what Batman expected out of her.

Actually, amend that, she did want to be here. But she wanted to be here on her own free will and not forced to do things in which she would rather not do, when she had more things that could occupy her time. Important things. Like college, school, friends, and spying on bad guys in the dark of the night.

But not here.

However, there was a bright side to all of this drama. She was excited to see her old friend again. It took time for her to admit it but she did miss him. He made the scoping out the bad guys with Batman feel oddly comfortable. Interesting and fun, even if it was three in the morning and there was no action to speak of; so yeah she did want to see him and make amends. It was, after all, the right thing to do.

Even though she had no idea why he had left. Nobody spoke of it. It was very frustrating to her. After he left it was like there never was a Robin in Gotham or a Dick Grayson in her life. No, it was like she had dreamt it all.

She felt as though she had been robbed of their friendship and camaraderie all because he and the big guy had a fight. Boys will be boys.., she thought as she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh which earned her a concerned look from her father. She gave him a small smile and mouthed an "I'm tired," to the Commissioner who nodded and leaned back comfortably in the small car's passenger seat. They were still a couple hours away from Jump City where the Mayor will personally meet them to talk about crime, politics, and the heroes of both of their cities.

She held back a yawn just thinking about the conversations that were sure to come up. But she had to be there. For her father. She had promised him that she will join him for this week long conference with Jump City's government so that he wouldn't be alone.

Barbara smiled, it was sweet to her that her father held her in such high respect and need for her company that he had bargained with her to come. She was going to refuse the offer but then Bats confronted her about the situation and told her he thought it was best for her to go….to carry out a message. Stubborn Bat, she thought knowing that the Dark Knight was actually a little sad that Robin had left. He should be one the here to talk to the guy.

Hell he treated the kid like a son for years, she thought, he has to still care. If I still care about the Boy Wonder than he probably does as well.

Although Barbara was reluctant to admit that she was also curious about what had happened to cause such a change. She remembered the free-spirit, fun, adventurous, but also down to Earth about anything or nothing Robin. The guy who also had her back in a dangerous situations but could also easily break the tension, if need be. Since his departure Batman had took that place but he wasn't so keen on lightening the mood as Robin was. This brought Barbara back to her first and foremost concern about the Boy Wonder.

Was Robin still the same teenage boy she had known all those years ago?

Barbara already knew the answer as "no" but she wanted to see this "new" Robin for herself. She had intercepted the Titans' communication system herself and would listen in for hours. She started to notice immediately the change in Robin's demeanor and attitude over the speakers. It hurt a bit for her to see an old friend of hers go through such a dynamic change. He literally went from Boy Wonder to an almost Batman-like man in a matter of weeks if not days.

All in all Barbara just wanted to make sure that everything was alright before she went back to Gotham. Hopefully if everything went well Barbara planned on showing Robin some sketches that she had created in her spare time; which she hoped will help gain her friendship back with him even if she was in Gotham.

"Barbara would you like to come with the Mayor and myself to dinner?" Her father politely asked her causing her reverie to be postponed. She blinked at him trying to comprehend his question and had to fight back a yawn.

Gordon chuckled. "I'm assuming it's a no then, hmm?"

"Sorry Dad, but you know how I can't sleep in the car," another yawned caused her to pause and cover her mouth with her hand.

"Yeah I know, you're still going to meet him with me right?"

"Wow, Dad," Barbara's bright blue eyes widened. "Are you nervous about meeting the Mayor? You the Commissioner of Gotham city?" Sarcasm filled her voice and her father smiled at her.

"No," he chuckled softly, "If you want to be in my headquarters when your time to fight crime comes," Gordon paused and Barbara had to fight back a smile at his word choice for her future, "you are going to need some connections."

Barbara nodded in understanding and brushed her fiery red hair out of her face as she leaned her forehead against the coolness of the car window wondering about what was going to happen.

Meanwhile in Jump City another assault was taking place against its inhabitants and the Teen Titans were on the offensive once again. Some hired off thugs were robbing a jewelry store and causing chaos and panic in their wake.

Quickly the Titans appeared on the scene with the battle cry of, "Titans go!" each Titan had already cornered a thug and soon after that the whole crew was tied up ready to go to prison for years to come.

"Oh man BB when you did the swoop with the-"

"Yeah Cy, and then you did the kick, punch, bam-"

Beast Boy and Cyborg continued their epic telling of the fight that had just taken place while Raven, Robin, and Starfire inspected the damage that was taken. The thugs had blown up part of the store's wall so bricks and debris covered the street causing traffic to cease. Alarms of incoming fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances were soon heard as they approached the damaged part of the city. Among the incoming emergency vehicles was a black sleek car that drove up alongside the Titans.

"Impressive job, Titans," a male voice told them, "Jump City thanks you once again." The owner of the voice belonged to a tall graying man with round glasses who was stepping out of the black car.

"Mr. Mayor," Robin nodded his head at the man. "What brings you down to this part of town?"

The Mayor smiled at the young hero's question and immediately liked how Robin got straight to the point of everything.

"You, my dear boy and your friends," the Mayor's response quickly got the full attention of all five Titans.

"Why us, man?" Cyborg quickly voiced before any of the Titans found their voice.

"I would just like to formally invite all of you to a conference I am holding with some esteemed friends of mine," the Mayor explained, "they would all love to meet you and, of course, thank each and every one of you for the service you provide in protecting the innocent."

"We need no celebration for what we do," Robin informed him, "this is our duty, but thank you Mr. Mayor for your invitation."

Robin turned around and started to walk away when the Mayor's voice stopped him, "Robin I believe at least yourself should make an appearance."

"I don't need-"

"My dear boy, I'm not saying you should come just so we can thank you for your leadership but I believe an old friend of yours would like to see you again." That made Robin stop dead in his tracks. The rest of the Titans looked between the pair with shocked faces waiting for their leader to reply.

"What old friend?" Robin asked with an edge to his voice which made the Mayor's eyes widen a bit.

"Why Commissioner Jim Gordon of Gotham, of course," he replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I am aware of your history working together in Gotham with Batman and Batgirl, I am just letting you know that an old partner of yours will be here if you wish to come, you are of course welcomed to make an appearance."

Robin froze up; he was not used to people bringing up his past like that and since Gordon was coming here to Jump City it was as though the past was going to be brought to life in his own city. He had not heard from anybody in Gotham since the night he left.

Meanwhile the rest of the Titans looked at Robin with concern unaware of his inner turmoil as the Mayor headed back to his car. "It may also be necessary for you all to come anyways," the Mayor informed them unaware of the conflict he had already invoked in Robin. "My friends are very influential and important in their own cities. I would not be surprised if an attack will take place which will be quite unfortunate considering some are bringing their children." The Mayor told them with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Why would they bring their own offspring then?" Starfire asked him puzzled.

"Future generations would like to get their own experience of politics and crime fighting before their parents release the mantel to them," the Mayor told her with a small smile playing on his lips. "It's good to know that the future will be in good hands especially if Gordon brings his own daughter onto the force. She's coming as well; I heard pride through Gordon's voice when he told me the news."

The Mayor chuckled to himself as he sat in the car and the driver took off. Robin's mind raced as the Mayor's last words ran through his thoughts and brought back memories of the past. Barbara was coming here to Jump City which meant that Robin's thoughts about his past haunting him had been correct.

The question was, however, what would she want?

Reviews will be so great!
