Author's note: This story takes place after The Killing Joke and during A Death In The Family of the Batman comics, Robin is still Robin in my world right now, Jason is just another Robin at the time. If you haven't read the old comics this story might explain a few things. Charlotte is my OC, she is mentioned in my friend's Fanfic-Tara, Not Terra(if you haven't read this story you should!), she is Batgirl's(Barbara Gordon not Cassandra) adopted sister (actually they both are adopted...I think... I read that in a Batman book somewhere) Enjoy! Review Please! Oh,I forgot to add that I do not own the Teen Titans or Batman though I do own Charlotte!

He's the only person who can help us right now. Bruce isn't telling us everything we need to know and with me helping Dad out at home he's going to need another partner. It was time for Dick to come home and now it was my job to bring him back. I haven't seen Dick since he left in July. Well, left isn't the right word for it, more like, ran away. He broke Bab's heart when he "left". No one can tell, but, I haven't felt so great myself since he left. We were good friends and then he just, well, disappeared. Bruce was upset, then, angry, and now he just acts like nothing ever happened. He accepted Jason as his new ward after his parents were killed by Croc. Jason is an ass. He acts like no one understands him when practically everyone in our ragtag group has some how lost their parents. He is trying to be emo now and act tough. The only reason I haven't slapped him is because I know that deep down he's a little, unhappy kid deep down. After all, my new motto is "Look for everyone's good side." Back to Dick, it was partly his fault Jason's parents died and I know he felt guilty. Bruce told us that Dick said he needed a "change of surroundings." That's a lie; he left because he one day he was sick of being a sidekick and sucker-punched Bruce. Yesterday I overheard Bruce tell Alfred that Dick moved to Jump City, so now I have to go to Jump and bring him back.

Dick

Jump City is my home now and the Titans are my family. The Wayne name is nothing to me now. I have had to sacrifice my old friends and "family" and I still regret nothing. It was a worthwhile sacrifice. I broke my old girlfriend's heart and broke ties to one of my best friends. Richard Grayson is gone. Robin is all I am now. I have a new girlfriend and new friends. They don't know my real name and that's what I want. I am the leader now and I will never follow again.

I just arrived in Jump City. It's a three day journey from Gotham. Sadly the train ride was all I could afford without anyone knowing before I left. Of course, now they know that I'm gone. Where am I going to stay? I probably should have thought about this decision a bit more before I spent all my money on the boat ride. Dick owes me, right? Hopefully, I won't be sleeping on the streets. Well, now I guess it's time to grab my stuff and get off the train. I'll have to ask someone where Dick lives once I walk into the city.

Dick

Today we went into the city in our "civilian clothes" to get some daily necessities, you know, toilette paper, groceries, clothing, pizza, and movies. I have to put on a different face and some dark sunglasses. I still feel vulnerable without my mask, but it's worth it. My new girlfriend, Kori, puts on a designer dress and looks just like a model. Kori likes the finer things in life and almost spends all our food money on clothes everyday! My two new friends, Gar and Vic, have to put on special rings to look like regular people. My only old friend that I still talk to, Roy, just puts on jeans and a t-shirt. He's famous and it's said that Mr. Queen, his guardian, lets him stay at his new penthouse here. My new friend, Rachel, puts on tanner and a wig. After we got back from the stores, we had one of our daily training sessions where everyone, even Kori, wears sweats and we really just kind of relax around each other. At about ten, we all went to bed, pretty early for us, and at about eleven the doorbell rang. No one ever rings the doorbell; they either have their own key or break the door down. I didn't hear anyone make any move to get the door. I guess everyone else was asleep or ignoring the noise Well, everyone but me. So, I guess it's my "turn" to get the door. In Gotham I never had to get the door unless I wanted to. No… what are you thinking, Dick? Gotham isn't your home anymore and here you have to get the door.

As soon as I got into the city I asked for directions to their City Hall and made my way over there. Once there, I went to the front desk and asked if they had any resident records. The secretary seemed distracted as she gave me the binders.

"They are listed alphabetically by last name, Hon," She said.

"Thank you very much," I responded on instinct. After a few moments I had looked through all the Gs.

"Excuse me," I said, "But my friend just moved here but

I can't find his name."

"What's the name?" she asked.

"Richard Grayson." She looked right were I had looked moments before.

"He's not in the books, so he must not live here."

"But, well, alright, then can you tell me, does Robin live in this city?"

"You must be new here; he lives in the Tower, of course."

"Where is that?"

"Look for the big T shaped building."

"Oh, alright, thank you for your time."

So I made my way over to the waterfront. Then I saw it, a massive T-shaped building built on an island. Now the question was how to get to it. I love to swim but I don't think that even I could go that far. I looked around and saw, to my relief, a small boat with two oars. I ran over to it and threw my stuff in. I took my shoes and socks off, placed them in the boat too, and pushed the boat into the water. I plopped in and began to row. It took hours and by the time I got to the tower it was about eleven o'clock at night. I smoothed my hair down as I walked to the door. I hoped someone was still awake. I looked around and spotted a doorbell. I pushed the button and heard a familiar ring. After about five minutes someone came to answer the door and I saw a somewhat familiar face turn from a plastered on smile to an annoyed scowl.
