So I am a bit disappointed at the level of Robin/Beast Boy fics on the site. Back when Teen Titans was on the air, I couldn't open the site wthout stumbling upon something new. Since I cannot seem to find what I am looking for, I must invoke Internet Rule 35. It has been awhile since I have tried my hand at fan fiction instead of original work, so please be patient with me as I get back into the swing of things. As always, I don't own these characters, but if anyone from DC is reading, my birthday is in July.
The Beast and the Bird
Chapter 1
"I remember it all very vividly. Garfield had just had his accident ad we were trying to find a place for him on the team. His mother wasn't pleased with the idea, but we eventually convinced her that it was best for him to be around people who could understand the things he was going through. I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but Kaldur, Wally, Rocket, and Zatanna had left the team, for their various reasons. To make matters worse, Connor spent more time in Metropolis than the cave. The burden of leadership was thrust upon me. A decision had to be made. We couldn't continue to opeate as the League's covert-ops arm with only a few members. So I bent the truth to keep Gar with us. I said he would be safe. I told his mother that he wouldn't go on any missions. I said that it would be what was best for him. At the time, that was all true, but I knew that it wouldn't last."
"This is not relevant. You know why you're here. Now explain yourself."
I looked up to the dais. Nodded my head, and continued.
"To explain what happened, I have to tell you what led up to it. I have to tell you things that up unitl now, on Gar and myself knew."
A hand was raised, indicating for me to stop. I waited as hushed tones reverberated through the large hall. I felt naked without my domino mask or my utility belt. But I suppose that's how they wanted me to feel.
"Very well, but remember, you are here at our discretion, not the other way around. Waste our time, Nightwing, and you know what we'll do."
"It was December. I remember because Gar was so excited to see snow for the first time in his life. He had this sort of wonderment about him back then, I envied that about him. He was able to do what I never could, be that hero, but still a child as well.
"Gar immediately was attached at the hip to M'gann. She explained to me that since they shared blood, that their bond surpassed that of what humans are used to. She was in constant empathic contact with him. So whever he felt an extremem emotion, such as fear, she would come running. I'm not sure if the connection worked both ways. But it certainly gave Beast Boy the benefit of always having M'gann in his corner. For the longest time, that was enough. But as the snow began to melt and Spring arrived, I noticed something different. Beast Boy was pushing M'gann away. She didn't realize it but, M'gann was smothering Gar. He hardly spoke to anyone else on the team. She never allowed for him to do any tough training. I could see that he wanted nothing more than to sprout winngs and fly away. So, for the second time in a few months, I had to make a command decision that I am not proud of. I sent Connor and M'gann on a mission, knowing that they would not be able to keeop their hands off of each other, and I gave them a bit of discretion on when to come back. That was the beginning of the end, I'm afraid."
