Richard Grayson watched as his parents fell from a high wire when he was twelve. He knew the story behind the 'Tragic Accident that hit The Flying Grayson'. They were threatened by Tony Zucco. When Tony discovered Richard was going to tell the police of what he knew, Tony had attacked and Richard hit his head and gotten amnesia. Most of his memories were regained while he was in the Catholic orphanage. Batman adopted Richard, keeping an important secret from him. Three years after Robin leaves Batman's side, the secret is too troubling to keep hidden. What will Batman do when Robin learns the truth? And what will happen with the Teen Titans?

Rated: T for now…

Takes place just after Robin discovers Slade might still be alive. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's "Haunted", my favorite episode EVER. Go watch it.)

Warnings: Spoiler alert if you never read the comics. Also contains spoilers of the entire series so…Watch the episodes if you haven't already.

Discusses depression/suicidal themes in later chapters, along with mentions of child abuse.

Any pairings are PG romance at most…

This story throws a lot of anger/hate towards Bruce Wayne, but that's not how it will end so you have to read the whole thing :D

Characters: Robin, Batman, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. With mentions of Slade, Trigon, and a few other villains that you should recognize. Also brings up Tony Zucco, John and Mary Grayson, and Introduces a new character.

If you review, I read your stories and will send a shout out so…Rate and Review :D

Enjoy!

"Who's there?" Robin scanned the area, fearing it would be Slade. His muscles were sore from fighting Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth. His heart was still racing, the adrenaline from the fight keeping his mind alert. He looked around the alley. All that was in the light were two vandalized dumpsters, a broken shopping cart, and the rain-soaked pavement. It was almost ten of the clock. It was late. He had not slept since the night the Titans discovered Slade might be back. He needed to get some sleep.

"Relax, Richie."

Robin cringed at the name. He knew right away who it was, "It's Robin. What do you want?"

"I need a favor." The man stepped away from the brick wall, now visible thanks to the dim street light. It had been a while since he and Robin parted ways, but that was the same week the Teen Titans formed.

"Why would I help you? Why? After-"

"Because I've seen what you've done with-you call yourselves the Teen Titans? I need you to help someone. Someone like you. She needs your help."

The masked boy sighed, glaring at Batman, "Who is she?"

Robin could tell he frowned. The light may not have shown more than a silhouette, but Robin knew the tone of voice all too well, "I'm not getting into specifics. Let's just say her foster father was a…villain. She's got some abilities. Maybe you could take her under your wing."

"Like what you did? It didn't exactly work out with you."

"I get it. I do. But you're going to let your anger towards me put a girl's life in danger? You're better than that."

"Fine. But for her. Not you."

The Dark Knight handed the teenager a file, "Expect her within a few days."

"Does she have a name?"

The man merely dashed out of sight. Robin sank to the ground, thoughts crowding his mind. He clenched his fists, angered by the memories. He did not hate Batman, he hated that he had been treated like a pet. Not the adopted son that he was. They we inseparable at first. Then Batman turned into a drill sergeant, not the fatherly figure Robin was seeking since witnessing the death of his parents seven years ago.*

The echo of footsteps on the wet pavement forced him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see a very close friend, but still felt the punch in the gut by guilt, "Where did you go?"

"Sorry, Star. I thought I saw one of them go this way."

"It is well. Beast Boy found a spot of weak." Starfire glanced at the folder in Robin's gloved hands, "Is something wrong? What is being in the folder?"

"It's just a mission. Come on." Robin smiled gloomily, "Let's go home."

Later chapters will be longer, I promise!

Remember, I give shout outs :D

*I said seven years ago meaning the death of his parents happened when Robin was 8. The comics I'm getting my info from say he was 12,but 8 fits with what I'm going to do so...Sorry if you hate me now XD
