The Computer Knows Best

by phoenixdragon78

What if the Graysons had adopted Robin? What if he had run away from a lab? What if the most powerful computer in the world was looking for him. What if he had created it?

1. Prologue

I don't own Young Justice or any characters that are used in the show. Robin's past is messed with a lot in this story.

Prologue

"Has the computer sensed its master yet?" one scientist asked another.

"Yes, it has pinpointed the location to Happy Harbor, but it seems that the target is also often found in Gothem or traveling around. We believe it may be Robin, Batman's sidekick."

"That would make sense, I've heard that Batman's sidekick is exceptional with technology." The first scientist said, "But why did the target run away, I've never really gotten that. Using the computer is a great honor and he was the one that the computer chose. I can't really think of a good reason to walk away from all that."

"No one really knows that answer," the second scientist replied, "He never really told, but some people say it might be that he wasn't really what the computer wanted. He was the closest match, but he was not perfect. So, they say, the computer was going to 'download', in a matter of speaking, the rest of what it wanted into the boy. Apparently the target didn't like that, so he left."

"Get back to work," a computerized voice said, "No chattering on the job. Move it or you will be electrocuted." The voice belonged to MK49, the very computer whose owner the two men had been talking about. As the scientists hurried off in different directions she thought (artificial intelligence), "Soon you will return to me, Richard. Soon we will be complete, together."
