WARNING: STORY HINTS AT CHILD ABUSE AND HEAVY LEVELS OF DEPRESSION FOR A YOUNG CHILD! IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS SUBJECT THEN I'M JUST GOING TO WARN YOU NOW! ALSO, EXTREME FLUFF IN SOME CHAPTERS!
A Teen Titans fanfiction.
Preview: What if Robin wasn't the leader of the Teen Titans? Or even Batman's protege? No, in this alternate universe we follow Dick Grayson, a four year old child as he gets taken by the Court of Owls after his family's tragic murder. But two years later, the small boy is sent on a mission, only to be found and taken in by the Teen Titans!? Yes, this is a MAJOR age difference story and focuses on what I think it would be like if the Titans took in a hyperactive six year old and tried to raise him to be good, while protecting him from the Court of Owls. The ages are as follows:
Robin: 6
Beast Boy: 14
Starfire: 15
Raven: 15
Cyborg: 16
Terra (Yes, I'm adding her as a VERY alive character, deal with it): 14
On to chapter one, kids!
Chapter 1: Running From Them
A shadow dashed through the building at an amazing speed. A tiny boy stared at his prize with a smile on his face, he would certainly be rewarded for this prize... hopefully not beaten. The boy grabbed the gem without triggering a single alarm as he silently tip toed out of the museums new exhibit. This boys name was Robin, a six year old soon-to-be assassin. Robin shivered as he thought about killing someone, his own parents had only died two years ago, making him still feel deep sorrow. He sighed as he continued to sneak to the newly made opening, his only real worry was of the team called The Teen Titans, a group of teenagers who were known for there hero work in the city that the Owls had sent the little robin to for stealing. He knew that he could probably take them, but he would certainly be punished if he were even a second late in bring back the precious jewel. Oh, how he secretly hated being a bad guy, but he really didn't want to go back to being some normal person anytime soon. the world had taken all that he loved and beaten it into the ground, then forgot about him in seconds after being kidnapped/taken in by the Court of Owls. He hated the world more, even if it wasn't physically beating him like the owls, they beat him mentally.
And that was worse then the bruises.
The sound of shattering caused the boy to swish around and just barely hold in a gasp as he stared up at the (surprisingly tall) Teen Titans! He really did know that he could out due them in hand to hand combat, but with all five against a very small one? No thank you! Robin sighed as he realized how bad of a situation he was in was. The Titans, on the other hand, were VERY confused as of late. After weeks of trying to track down the so called "Master Thief", they get a little kid? What the heck?
"Um, hi little guy, are you lost?" Terra asked as she got on her knees to be eye level with the tiny boy. Terra had always been good with kids for some odd reason.
Robin looked at her with an odd look as he studied Terra. "Are you serious?" He asked. "I'm not a little kid, lady!"
Everyone stared at Robin as he glared at them, it was adorable yet quite intimidating. "AW!" Starfire squealed as she flew the child into her arms in a hug. "Aren't you the CUTEST of human earth monkey tumbzes!"
Robin growled as he trashed wildly in Starfires arms. "PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN! I do NOT do physical love!" Starfire squeaked as she dropped the boy, who back flipped out of reach as he backed away from the Titans.
"Whoa, little man." Cyborg said as he held out his hands in a passive gesture. "Lets all just calm down and get you home, if you cooperate we won't tell your ma, okay?"
Well that threw the bird off the rail. "EXCUSE ME!?" Robin screeched as he pointed a Bo-staff at the group. "I'm not just some little kid who runs home to mommy! My parents are gone, buddy! I can't go back!"
Everyone froze as the situation sunk in. This boy was an orphan, no parents, no family, just him. Cyborg sighed as he looked at the tiny child, they couldn't just leave him at an orphanage or some shit, he was a thief and would just runaway from the police. Beast Boy smiled at Robin as he ignored his teams warnings to be careful as he walked up to the secretly scared boy.
"Hey, dude." Beast Boy said as he smiled at Robin thoughtfully. "Why don't you stay with us?"
Robin backed away from the green changeling as he tried to keep his distance. "No, no, no! I don't want to! You'll just hit me like Vulture does!" Robin covered his mouth as soon as 'Vulture' slipped out, he was SO dead tonight.
"Who's Vulture?" Raven asked, slightly afraid of child abuse taking place towards this boy. "Is he beating you?" She asked.
Robin didn't answer as he turned around and bolted away, ignoring the fact that he dropped the jewel as he only wanted to get away from here and get home, if that's what he wanted to call it. He just couldn't stand it how everyone looked at him and treated him like a baby, he wasn't, he was able to handle himself. Robin gasped as he screamed in fear from being levitated into the air, unable to move. He froze as he stared down at the Teen Titans, being careful to note that the goth girls hands were glowing purple, meaning that she was the one keeping him captive. He watched as the group huddled and discussed something that Robin couldn't quite hear right.
"Can I just go now? The people I work for will NOT be happy if I'm late." Robin said with irritation in his voice as he tried to wiggle a bit in hopes of more movement.
Cyborg shared a look with Raven as the two nodded in agreement. "Sorry, little man." Cyborg said. "But your not going back to those guys, there abusing you. So, you have two choices here. You ether go to an orphanage, which were pretty sure won't be any better for you. Or you come and live with us."
Robin glared at the robot man. "Is there a third choice? Because dying sounds WAY better then those choices." The look Raven gave Robin made the tiny bird shiver in fear as he looked away. "Actually... going with you people can't be that bad."
Everyone but Robin smiled as they lowered Robin down carefully, but as soon as he was released of the magic, he was tied up like a caterpillar. "Well I can tell that this agreement will be filled with trust." He rolled his eyes under his mask.
Terra ruffled the angry birds hair as she carried him to the T-car. "So, whats your name little guy? If you don't have one we can come up with one." Robin glared at Terra as he huffed quietly.
"My name is Robin." He whispered as he kept himself from looking at anyone.
"Robin, huh?" Beast Boy said as he held the bird package on his lap. "That's an odd name, so how old are you?"
Robin wanted to bite the changeling as he wiggled angrily in the boys lap. "I'm six, now no more questions, I'm wiped." Robin said as he leaned his head on BB's chest.
He was asleep in seconds.
