Disclaimer: I do not own Batman or Justice League.

(Jayden's POV: Age 13)

I fastened the belt around my karate uniform and step out into the home gym in Wayne Manor. Jason stands across from me in a similar outfit, only his is black, sleeveless and he has a red belt around his waits where mine is white, sleeved and a black belt.

"Are you ready, boys?" The two boys looked over at Bruce who stood next to a transparent case with a robin outfit neatly hanging inside. "The winner of this fight gets the honor of being my new Robin. I just want to say, no matter who wins, you are both exceptional heroes both worthy of this title."

"But there can only be one, Robin." Jason stated smugly.

"Jason…" Bruce warned.

"It's alright, I know he is just messing around." I said as I took my stance across from Jason.

"You sure you're ready for this buddy?" Jason asked as he took his stance.

"I've been training day, hell I've broken your record on the training course at Mount Justice, so if anyone should be scared, it's you." I grinned, readying myself.

"That's enough, now get ready," Bruce announced. "You each had a total of three strikes, the first to land three strikes on their opponent becomes the new Robin. Are you ready?"

"Yes!" We both shouted out.

"And…begin!"

Jason and I immediately charged at one another and attacked each other with a series of quick jabs and heavy blows. Now, Jason was hot headed, but he wasn't stupid, he knew where to strike and how hard to strike. I would have to use his temper to my advantage. Unfortunately, he knew my flaws as well as my advantages.

He knew I am more of a defensive fighter rather than offensive, using the momentum of someone else's moves against them, he quickly learned that when he sent a spin kick to my head, but I quickly ducked and swept his foot out from under him. He fell to the ground and I dove in for my first strike, but he quickly rolled out of the way of my fist.

When he hopped to his feet, he tried to land an upper cut on me, but I easily back out of the way and spun around delivering a spin kick to his stomach. 'Point one for me.' I thought as I walked over to help Jason to his feet.

"Lucky shot." Jason shrugged. I gave him a smirk.

"Yeah, my foot luckily found your big belly."

"You're one to talk, who had the double belly deluxe last night at Big Belly Burger?" Jason snapped, causing Bruce to look at me in disappointment.

"You said you were training for today."

"I was, training my belly for bigger burgers." I sheepishly replied as I readied myself for the next match.

Bruce told us to begin and Jason didn't hold back this time. He sent a barrage of heavy fists at me, not even giving me a chance to counter his attacks. He eventually backed me into the wall and before my back was literally against it, I made the mistake of looking behind me and ended up getting kicked in the chest and knocked into the wall. The wind was knocked out of me as I fell against the wall, coughing my lungs out.

"I guess I got a lucky foot too."

"Douche."

"Alright, boys," Bruce announced with a clap of his hands. "Last hit and the winner become the new Robin. Are we ready?"

"Yup." I said.

"Born ready." Jason said with a fist pump.

"Okay, begin!"

The two of us lunged at each other swinging our fist at each other as hard as we can, while dodging them just as swiftly. Jason sent a fist to my face, but I dodged it and quickly wrapped my hands around his wrist and flipped him over my shoulder, slamming him onto the ground hard.

I went to twist his arm around, but he was quicker than me as he swung his feet around, kicking mine out from under me. I fell hard on my ass as Jason quickly stood up and brought his foot down towards my chest.

I managed to catch it by the ankle before he could land the hit and pushed it back, throwing him off balance. Jason stumbled back as I quickly hopped to my feet and charged after him. I leaped into the air and tried to land a jump kick into the center of his chest, but he quickly dodged and sent his fist to my face, which I swatted away and countered with one of my own punches. This went on for a minute, before Jason started to lose his focus. He was a skilled fighter and stronger than me, but he was reckless and impatient. He wanted this fight to be over with and to win and he wanted it now.

His fist started swinging at my head wild and hard, but I just kept dodging. I finally saw an opening and decided strike, to which Jason managed to dodge, only by a hair length. I saw the look in his eyes when my fist nearly collided with his face.

He wanted this, he wanted to be, Robin.

And I couldn't take that from him.

I took another swing at Jason with my left hand, guiding it to his face. I had a clean shot for his nose, but I, 'tripped', when I accidently stepped on the cuff of my pants. I stumbled forward and Jason took the opportunity to sink his fist into my face.

It wasn't too hard, but it was hard enough for me to get knocked back and fall on my ass. My hands immediately went to my cheek as Jason looked down at me in disbelief.

"I won?" He asked himself. He looked over at Bruce who was almost as surprised as Jason.

"Y-Yes, Jason, you've won, congrats." He smiled.

"I won." He said with more confidence.

"Yup, you won, congrats, Jason." I mumbled as I went to stand up, but was offered a helping hand by Jason. I took his hand and let him help me to my feet. "Thanks."

"Yeah, um…good match…I still can't believe it!" He was so amazed with himself. "Um…wait what does this mean though?"

"You're the new Boy Wonder, you will help me fight crime, under my guidance and you will always follow my orders. If you disobey even once, you're fired, understood?"

Jason nodded, but he still looked confused.

"What about, Jayden?"

"He continues with school and practices his jujitsu lessons and stealth techniques until he proves he's ready to be a boy wonder." Bruce informed us as he stepped out of the gym. "Come on, we have to get you fitted for the armor."

Jason looked at me, but I waved him off, silently telling him to follow Bruce.

I let out a deep breath and quickly stepped out of the gym to grab a shower. I guess I would just have to wait a little while longer before I could do my part for Batman and later for the Justice League.

After a quick shower, I sat at my desk in my room and started to study case files Bruce had sent me to practice my deductive skills. They were fairly easy to deduce since most of them were petty. Man get's drunk and stumbles into a train after having one light beer after work with his friends, no it wasn't suicide or intoxication, his wife fell in love with the hot bartender after girls night and she manipulated him into drugging her husbands drink and shoving him into the tracks in the subway on his way home.

Then the disappearance of a sixteen-year-old girl, she ran away with her thirty-five-year-old music teacher. They were shacked up in his mom's apartment. This was all high school Disney channel bullshit.

I wanted to tackle real cases, but thanks to throwing that match today that won't be happening anytime soon. I was broken from my thoughts when my pet sparrow, Snowflake started tweeting.

"Hey buddy," I chuckled as I poured some seeds into his bowl. "I'm sorry I haven't let you out today I was busy, but tomorrow I'll let you out in the green house for a good while, sound good?" Snowflake tweeted happily as he nibbled on his seeds. I love my cute little birdy.

"He's not the only one disappointed by you."

I was startled and turned around to see Bruce leaning on my door frame, arms crossed over his chest and a solemn look on his face.

"Yeah, I know, I failed that test today, but Jason was the better fighter." I said with a shrug of my shoulders, before sitting back down at my desk. I had to keep myself busy so he couldn't tell through any facial twitches or body language that I was lying about my match.

"You stepped on your ankle cuff which caused you to trip and open yourself for an easy victory for Jason." Bruce stated.

Shit!

"Why would you do that," Bruce asked in disappointment. "I don't pit you two against each other so I can pick favorites. I did it so you can learn to put your personal emotions aside and Jason can learn to accept loss and not let it affect his life. Now I don't know what to do. If I take away the title of Robin from Jason, then he'll never forgive me and you'll never forgive yourself and if I let him become Robin then he'll let it go to his head and…ugh!"

Bruce plopped down on my bed, covering his eyes with his elbow after letting out an exhausted sigh.

"What did you want me to do, you saw how happy he was, he needed this." I tried to convince him, but I would have had a better chance of striking oil on the Wayne Manor than telling Bruce he was wrong. "He already thinks I'm your favorite, he refers to me as your 'Shadow' for god's sake."

"Jayden…" Bruce groaned. "You can't keep coddling him like this. I know you care about him, but he will never learn if he never loses."

"No offense Bruce, but if you have this many doubt about Jason, then whose fault is it to make him into your disciple?" Bruce looked up at me from my bed with a skeptical look on his face. I merely shrugged. "Just saying."

"Look, what I am about to do is going to be stressful, but I have no choice, Jason has potential, but he also has rage and he needs to channel it or he could be dangerous."

"You're dangerous." I stated.

"I'm in control though, can you say the same as Jason?"

I couldn't deny it, Jason was my friend and I loved him like a brother, but him out there taking apart bad guys would be like a rabid bear in a campsite, it wouldn't be pretty.

"So, what is the plan?"

"Well, you and Jason work better together and I can only have one Robin, so…"

(The Following Week: Mount Justice)

"Okay, everybody listens up," Nightwing informed his team of Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis and Kid Flash, Zatanna and Rocket. He walked into the common room of Headquarters, followed by Jason Todd, who was now donning his new Robin Armor. "This is our new Robin, he got the O.K. from Batman, so he is officially his sidekick and our newest member."

"Hey guys, nice to meet you." Robin said with his fist at his hips and his chest puffed out with confidence. Everyone greeted him with smiles, minus Superboy who merely nodded at him.

"He is talented and gifted and he will make a fine addition to our team." Nightwing informed, before his communicator started beeping. Nightwing answered the call on his wrist communicator.

"What is going on, Batman?"

"I've got a new recruit coming your way."

"Who?"

Suddenly the boom tube activated as the V.I. announced its new arrival.

"Recognized, Sparrow."

When the light faded a young man clad in black body armor with white patterned on the chest plate and arms appeared before them. His face was covered by a white helmet with black wings sticking out from both sides of his helmet.

"Sparrow, the second boy wonder!" Jayden announced, both Robin and Nightwing recognized his voice.

"Wow, cool!" Robin stated as he ran over to, Sparrow. "I though the big guy said there would only be one of us though?"

"Eh, I guess he felt sorry for me or something or maybe things are so screwy that they need both of us to clean up crime." Sparrow suggested, knowing that Bruce wanted him to keep an eye on Jason.

"Awesome, the world won't know what it!" Robin announced as the two posed for their new team.
