Possibly my first AU fic, but only slightly so. This bears NO connection to any previous fic. When Robin's kicked off the team for poor performance (much to Star's dismay), he decides to get even. How? By becoming so good that they'll want him back. Oh, and Terra survived and was sent to prison.
DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS OR ANYTHING REFRENCED IN THIS FIC.
Teen Titans: Nightwing's Advent"Titans, go!" The group of teenage superheroes charged the lone man in a mask standing on a short platform. One, a red-headed girl with orange skin, flew up into the air and began hurling green energy bolts at him and another one, a young man who appeared to have mechanical body parts, turned his right arm into a sonic cannon and fired. With the kind of agility one normally only sees in Kung-Fu movies, the masked man leaped from the platform before the blasts struck it. Another Titan, a pale girl wearing a black leotard and a blue hooded cape, said, "Azarath metrion zenthos…" and instantly two extremely large pieces of debris were covered in a black aura and flew towards the masked man, who shattered them both with one punch each. The fourth Titan, a green-skinned boy with pointy ears, stared wide-eyed. "Dude, Slade's gotten even stronger." However, the fifth Titan, the leader, a boy in red shirt, green pants, a yellow cape, and a mask, didn't appear to be impressed. "That doesn't matter. We'll still take him down." He charged Slade and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, all of which were blocked or dodged. Suddenly Slade launched an attack of his own, sending the masked boy flying into a wall. He got up just in time to see a punch coming strait at his head, which connected before the he could react. The last thing he saw before blacking out was his teammates still fighting Slade.

(Flashback)
A small boy watched in horror as his father and mother fell from the circus high wire. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
(Flashback)
A boy stared in awe at the wide space in front of him. The man next to him said, "Welcome to the Batcave."
(Flashback)
"I want to form a team of teenage superheroes, Batman. Is that fine with the Justice League?" "Who's going to be on it?" "A cyborg, a space alien, a shape-shifter and the one who gave me the idea, a sorceress from another dimension," explained the boy wonder. "Alright, I'll present your idea to the League."
(Flashback)
"And in other news, Batman's missing sidekick Robin has been seen fighting crime here in Jump City, along with some other 'talented' teens."
(Flashback)
The media swarmed around "Mr. Robin, the people want to know, what do you and your teammates call yourselves?" "The Teen Titans."

Robin awoke in the infirmiry in Titan's tower. Suddenly, the door opened and Cyborg came in. "How ya feelin', Rob?" "Fine. Do you mind telling me what happened?" "Slade did a real number on you. We stopped him from destroying the city, but he got away in the end…" "Figures. Anything new happen?" "Well, Terra's sentence is over and she wants to rejoin…" "Robin raised his eyebrows. "Well that's good news. Hows Raven taking it?" "Suprisingly well. Rob, we need to talk. Your perfomance is like BB taking a IQ test." "So I got careless and Slade knocked me out. Big deal." "Oh, and what about that fight with Mumbo last week? Or the one with Mad Mod two weeks ago?" Robin sighed, put his hand to his forehead and said, "I'm just having a losing streak." Cyborg's face was grave as he replied, "Maybe, but if it doesn't end soon, we're going to have to remove you from the team."
