Reboot: Innocence Can Be Forever

Chapter 1: The Heist

Robin's POV

I watch the building from above, the feeling in my chest only grows as the building seems to taunt me, practically begging me to break in and steal those precious jewels inside. I shiver despite the large dark blue hoodie that guards my frail body from the cool September air, I lean against the frame of the roof of the building I'm on, trying as hard as a six year old can to focus on the security of the place. My attention is brought to two large statues that are decorating the front of the building, one is a mama bear cradling a sleeping baby bear in her arms, the other statue shows a large owl that is wearing glasses and reading a book. I dislike both in a way, the mama bear one just brings back memories of my own mama, which I'm told to avoid, the owl just reminds me of my masters, the Court of Owls. It stinks to be a pet to them, but there holding all the cards above there heads, which, believe me, is hard for a six year old to reach. I flip back to reality as my masked eyes notice that the security is gone for a moment, everything else kicks in as I numbly feel everything seem to whisk by, me jumping and flipping off the building I'm on, throwing a grappling hook forward and watching it catch onto a gargoyle statue, then me swinging into a carelessly opened window on the second floor.

I run down corridor after corridor as my feet guide themselves almost, they take me towards the jewels room, but I force them down a different hallway first, after all, can't pull a single boy heist without a candy bar, right? I find the snack machine with no trouble and hack it with my tech gloves in even less time, I grab the Reese's bar and run back towards the jewels room, my feet stop just short of reaching a flash lights glow across the marble floor. I decide to eavesdrop as I silently sit down and plow into the candy bar, listening to the two guards just around the corner talk.

"So, have you heard of that new thief in town, Danny?" On guard asks his friend.

"Yeah." Danny says. "I hear its some master thief or something, even the Teen Titans can't catch him."

"Or her." The other guard interjects. "But yeah, I think that the Titans would've caught him by now at the very least."

I faze out for a minute, the Teen Titans? I've never heard of them until now, they sound really tough, might wanna beat me up.

...

I think i can take em.

I shake my head as I snap back to reality, I peer around the corner just in time to see the guards walking towards the dinosaur exhibit. My excitement gets the better of me as I practically trample my way to the dinosaurs, being six, I obviously love dinosaurs. My eyes gaze upon the massive collection of dinosaur skeletons, I close my eyes and think about what it would be like to ride a T-Rex. But I snap out of it all too quickly, if I don't hurry, Vulture will have my head. I don't need to be told twice as I will myself to leave the dinosaurs and go back to the important things, the priceless jewels. But in all honesty, if the Court really needed to steal something for that villain sales action in a few months, I would've taken the dinosaur bones, because as I said before. Dinosaurs are awesome. I smile as I survey the traps, red lazer point this way and that to guard the boxes of jewels at night, but I just giggle as my body pretty much does it by itself, flipping this way and that until I'm in front of the biggest jewel case and am taking off the lid with gloved fingers. But reality kicks in too, the case is too heavy, I fall backwards and accidentally let go of the glass case, sending it flying behind be and straight into a security lazer.

I hate being so little.

The alarms blare as I barely could hear anything other then the blaring sounds of an intruder. My hands fumble slightly as the jewel is sent by my hands into the small backpack on my back. I turn around and start to run towards the window I had come in through while avoiding guards, I round the corner and nearly trip on some carpet as I pass through the Ancient History Of The Romans section. However, I do fall over as I hit something sturdy and cold, I fall hard on my butt and rub my head as I recover and stare up with now wide and masked eyes. Above me stand four teenagers that are current just as confused as I am by the looks of it.

The one I bumped into kind looks like a mix of Iron Man, a Transformer and a person. He's tall with dark colored skin and blue metal parts covering most of his body. He has brown eyes and looks a bit stern as he stare down at me, but his demeanor seemed to change as he realizes that I'm only a child, at least in his eyes I am. To his left is a girl with dark purple hair and an indigo colored cloaky cape thing on, her eyes look to be dark purple from what I can tell, but there mostly covered my her hood. In all truth, shes terrifying, like a monster almost. The girl to his right is levitating with glowing green eyes and glowing green hands that seemed filled with power, she was also orange, which was really weird considering that she reminds me of a Care Bear. The boy to the girls left is green! He's definitely the youngest of them, but he seems like the nicest. He has a smile on from the beginning and looks pretty weird in all honesty, like a... like a... gosh, I don't even know. But altogether they look really cool and tall, like... TITANS! Of course, that actually explains a lot, like why I am just now realizing that there the Teen Titans.

"Hey, kid." The green guy says. "You okay?"

I just stare at them all with wide eyes, too amazed to speak.

"Um... little dude? Earth to little dude?" The Iron Man guy says as he gets on his knee to try and look me in the masked eyes, but even then he's still a bit taller then me.

The goth girl sighs. "Back off, Cyborg. That goes for you too, Beast Boy."

"Friend Raven, who is this gigabon?" The orange girl asks the goth lady.

Raven shrugs. "No idea to be honest, who ever he is, he needs to get home to his parents."

Its then that I snap back to the present, I hop up and immediately grab a hold of the metal guys shoulder. He seems confused but allows it, I suddenly remember what Raven said and glare at her the best I can, but being a kid means not being taken seriously, so they only thought it was adorable.

"I can't go home." I say as I continue examining the teens by grabbing Beast guys arm and tugging, hard. He yelps in pain.

"Geez kid, why not?" Beast guy asks.

I shrug. "Its none of your business, now is it green guy?"

"Its 'Beast Boy'." He corrects me, I smirk at him.

"Your more like a Beast guy to me." He just gasps dramatically at me before the goth chick suddenly wraps me in this really weird black aura thing, I kick and scream, but with little results.

I scream even louder as she levitates me into the air. "Oh, friend Raven, may we keep the tiny gigabon? He is of the cuteness!"

"PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN!" I yell as they hold me up, encircling me.

Raven raises an eyebrow to the orange chick. "Really, you want to keep him?"

"Yes, he is most adorable and of the small pocket sized variety." She explained, or I think she explained, man, what is she, French?

Beast guy glares at me but shrugs none the less. "Only if he promises to call me Sensei."

"Dude, no." Cyborg laughs, but I can tell he's serious.

I struggle as they carry me to a snazzy looking car that matches the metal guys body color and style, talk about a big ego. "Fine, but he stay OUT of my room, got it?"

"No! Do I even have a say in this? If you don't drop me, then I'll scream rape!" I threaten, they almost faint when the last words leaves my lips.

Beast guy stutters. "R-rape? Do you even know what that is!?"

"WHAT!?" Cyborg nearly faints. "How do you even know that word?"

I shrug, or at least try to in this stupid magic death grip thingy. "Actually, I have no idea what it means, I was just told to scream it if I ever got caught or kidnapped as loud as possible."

"Friends, what is this, rape?" The, what I now think is an alien, asks.

They all tense up. "Its nothing, Star. Just NEVER ask anyone else, got it?" Raven says, thoroughly shaken still by my outburst. The girl nods.

"And for your question earlier. You can ether come with us, or we leave you with the police." Raven puts simply to me, I hate it, but I nod in agreement. "Good." Raven says.

They keep in that dang shield that Raven now has turn into a bubble with me inside until we reach a HUGE T shaped building. I stare up at in wonder as we only get closer.

"So.." Beast Boy finally says to me. "Got a name."

"Yeah..." I smile, despite my current position. "Its Robin."
