A/N: HI! So I just recently updated his so that the first two chapters are now joined together into a much longer Chapter since I've noticed many of my readers well stopped reading after the first chapter. Soooo it's a small attempt to fix that problem without having to completely rewrite it and so that people can get a feel of what direction this is going in.

A/N #2: So hi if it your first time reading this I welcome you! :D This is hardcore apprentice fic, sort of, that takes place mostly in Gotham. It's RobStar ship, BBRae ship but even if you don't like those couples I have some BBTerra in here much to my own disdain. But the ship shouldn't stop you from reading this. In this story Dick Grayson is Robin is Dick Grayson if you do not know who he is I would suggest quickly popping over to .com and searching his name for a quick update about his history. I don't exactly go canon and I'm not always focusing on just Robin, I believe a great part of fanfiction is telling the story of the people around the subjects just as much as the subjects are. So I hope you enjoy this fanfiction and please review thank you :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, or any other DC related heroes/people, thank you :)


His footsteps seemed to bounce off the walls, the click of his Italian leather shoes. Today wasn't going to be fun, not fun at all. Bruce had called him up and said his father had suddenly appeared out of nowhere with birth certificates and the whole deal problem was, he wasn't John Grayson. His names was Samuel Wilson, his blood matched Robins, or more really, Dick Grayson's. He wanted custody of him and Robin wasn't pleased about this. Bruce had all of his lawyers on this case, and all the ones Dick had hired himself, all together there were 25 lawyers working together to keep Dick in Bruce's custody.

He entered the court room with his business suit with his trademark red tie, the same red tie he would wear to ever legal matter he was forced to go to with Bruce ever since he was a kid. He sat down at the defenses table and peered over at the man who claimed to be his father. If only his friends knew he where he was, well Starfire would find out sooner or later, this was probably on every news station in and out of Gotham. The famous billionaire ward, Dick Grayson about to be taken out of custody from the man who partially raised him, and was like a father to him, that had to make the news.

The man, he had to admit, did look like him, he had raven black hair that resembled his, and he had the same blue eyes and a slightly similar nose. They eyes would be easy to be copied and his nose, he could just claim that Dick had his mother's nose. His mother, Dick now wondered who he would claim his mother truly is.

Hours and hours went by, the lawyers calling him up to the podium more than once. Shortly before the court session ended the doors opened and a young girl with fiery red hair, green eyes and tan skin, who looked highly similar to Starfire but lacked the features marched in abruptly and walked into the court. Dick stood up abruptly shock clear on his face, he looked down at her hands and saw the holographic rings. His eyes widened even more as she walked over angrily and kissed him madly and then sat down next to him with a huff.

"Ummm excuse me, but who are you?" The judge asked.

"Kori Anders, his girlfriend!" Suddenly the room burst out in voices and Dick frantically placed a hand over her mouth.

"Star what are you doing here?" He whispered softly in her ear as the judge called order.

"Richard how could you just come here without telling us?" His face dropped as she said us.

"No Star... You didn't!" Suddenly two more people crashed through the door. Cyborg and Beast Boy disguised as normal people marched straight up to the judge, Raven in tow shaking her head in utter disbelief of what they were doing.

"He has no right to take Rich, Bruce Wayne raised him and he should be able to keep him!" Cyborg shouted at the surprised judge.

Robin shrunk down in his seat as Bruce glared angrily at him. He looked at Wilson, and at his slightly bemused face which only made his blood boil in anger.

"And who are you?" The judge asked, obviously annoyed with all the interuptions.

"Victor Stone, best friend of Richard Grayson!" He said aloud.

"Garfield Logan, Rich's other best friend!" Gar yelled.

"I'm his friend." Raven said dully, walking over to Kori.

"Mr. Grayson, should I expect anyone else to crash into my courtroom?" The judge said angrily.

"That's all of them!" Dick said in defeat.

"Good I will allow you to stay as long as you go take a seat and don't speak unless called upon."

"Thank you." Dick said then gave them a glare that said sit down and be quite or you'll get three times the training exercises. They all went back except for Kori who wouldn't leave Dick's side, let alone let go on his hand which he soon lost all feeling in.

The head lawyer decided to seize the opportunity and starting making speeches, he then called Mr. Wilson up to the stand and asked him, if he had any intentions on moving Dick out of Jump City where he currently resided.

"Well yes, I live in Star City and I would like my son to be there with me."

"Unacceptable!" Kori yelled allowed but Dick put his hand over her mouth and brought her back down into her chair.

"Sorry, she's not normally like this." He said to the judge while slightly glaring at the man.

"It's fine for now, but I'm being very lenient with you, Mr. Grayson, so don't push it." The judge said. "She must really love you."

Dick nodded and the process continued, hours later they showed the blood samples and Mr. Wilson explained what happened.

"You see when my wife had a child; we were dead poor, so she, not informing me, swapped our child with another family's who happened to resemble us. She was thinking about our baby when she did thing and I can't say I blame her because Mary and John's son died of a very bad case of the flu, if it wasn't their son it could've been Richard. I'm not saying that I'm glad he died, I mean that was a sad experience but I'm glad Richard is alive and well. And things have gotten better from that day I opened up a business that took off and I hit it big in the stock market.

So I was watching the news one day and I saw Richard, first I noticed how similar he look to me so I went and dug up a old picture of how I looked when he was my age and to say the least we looked quite similar." His lawyer hands a picture to the judge and then shows it to Dick, Bruce, Kori, and their lawyer.

"I talked to my wife and she told me what she did, and to say the least I hired a private investigator and asked to see if our DNA matched, he handled the rest and our DNA matched, he's my son."

His voice seemed despondent yet sounded almost knowing, mocking. Richard grinded his teeth an hour later after the jury had convened and were talking about who got custody of him within a confined room. When they came out Kori kissed Dick and held his hand as they reached their verdict.

"We here by decree that custody of Richard Dick Grayson will be given to his biological father Samuel Wilson."

Dicks face dropped and Bruce was in such an outrage he slammed his fists down onto the table knocking down all the glass of water.

"This is ridiculous!" He yelled allowed.

"Let's go Kori." Richard said motioning for his teammates to get up and that it was time for them to get off the grid and back to the Tower. He stood up, holding Kori's hand, and walked out of the courtroom with his friends. They raced for the T-Car which was too camouflaged but before he could Bruce was there followed by Wilson.

"Dick where are you going?" Mr. Wilson said.

"Listen I don't care what they say, because as far as I'm concerned John Grayson is my father so don't expect me to treat you like you're my father." He said then turned to leave but a hand was on his shoulder.

"We're going home Dick, your mother is waiting all too patiently." He said, then suddenly Bruce had a grip on Wilson's hand and said,

"Let him go, Wilson, you may be his father but he is free to go wherever he pleases." He glared at the man hoping it would scare him into leaving Dick alone but the man didn't seem at all afraid, or even phased, like he expected it.

"Not by the law, Wayne, not yet anyway. He's fifteen and he's still got three years to go before he's a free man." He spat back sounding almost as pissed off as Bruce was.

"Now how about we do this, you can have a friend come stay with us for the weekend while you settle in, maybe it will help you feel all the more at home."

And almost as if on cue Kori was there with a packed bag, and a steady grip on Dicks hand as she asked where the car is then started to walk steadily away to the car.

"Stay away from him Wilson, I know who you are and if you know who Richard is you must know who I am. So I'm warning you, Dick will find out and when he does trust me I'll be the least of your worries. He isn't about to go switching sides anytime soon Deathstroke, he's a hero to the end even if you really are his father, though I really doubt that." Bruce said with a harsh but hushed tone once Kori and Dick were out of vicinity.

"If you really did believe that, why would you even have to reassure yourself by telling that to me, Batman?" He said back then walked off as smirk wide on his face. Bruce desperately wanted to hit something, more like he really wanted to slug Wilson in the jaw.

"Wilson." He said aloud and when Wilson turned Bruce's fist collided with his jaw, and specks of blood flew out of Wilson's mouth. Gasps ran out, and cameras flashed, he knew this was going to be tomorrows headline and he didn't care because he just walked off, but before he did he turned around and looked at Dick who had a bemused smile on his face and just shook his head while resisting a laugh. He pulled out his phone and quickly sent an IM to Bruce.

Don't Worry I'll Be Back By Monday,And Trust Me It'll Be the Last They Ever See of Dick Grayson, and Kory Anders

Bruce smirked and nodded, he knew Dick had a plan up his sleeve, he always had a plan. He watched as he and Kori went into the back seat of the car Wilson had directed them to. Kori, she was unexpected, well many things in life are unexpected but this was really unexpected. When he first found out Dick had a girlfriend, well, to say the least, he was shocked, and that's really hard to do first of all, then he finds out they had been going out for three years without him even knowing. It only just proved how bad his relationship with his son had become, to the point that he didn't even know Dick was truly in love with someone. Just pathetic

Starfire's a nice girl at least, he had a chance to get to know her when the Titans came over to the house for a week, let's just say it was total chaos and leave it at that. She really did care for his son and he did for her too, even a blind man could see that but he just didn't like the fact that she was a princess. Robin always had an attraction to things that will propel him farther in life, just another way of trying to control everything thats around him, that's why he's their leader after all but Bruce feared his son's lust for the power, the for craving for control would drive him over the line, Starfire in tow, because he knew wherever his son would go she would willingly follow.

His son, Bruce slid into the front seat of his car thinking about that, he could never replace John but in a way Dick was his son too, even despite the fact that they argued like an old married couple all the time. And sometimes, even though he wouldn't really show it, he really did care for him, he was like the son he never had, and probably never will have


-R-

His hand brushed against the leather upholstery, he felt like he was in a limo which had been shrunken to the size of a regular car because there was a black wall dividing them and the driver. The windows too had been blacked out and the car had been soundproofed. So when the locks suddenly clicked on Dick instantly knew he was in trouble, and so did Kori, he climbed around the small area trying to find a way out but it was nearly impossible, no way for him to break the glass since it seemed to be bulletproof, and no way for him to unlock the door. He looked at Kori's slightly worried expression but before he could say anything he heard the car door slam in front of them and the engine revved up making the car softly shake.

He sat back and ran his hand through his hair; he let out a huff of air as he felt the car start to move. Kori sat there next to him and noticed the tension in his face, his face; she was one of the few people to be able to look at him and see not one face but two, one of them a mask, and the other his identity. She didn't know which once was his identity was yet but she sure had a good idea right now seeing him brooding like this.

"What's it like?" She asked mindlessly staring at his eyes.

"What?" He asked, she wanted to know what it was like living under two identities but redirected the question knowing that this wasn't the time or place to be asking.

"What's it like finding out that your father is not who you once thought he was?" He knew that, from the way she said it, that, that, was not her original question but answered anyways.

"He's not my father, just some cheap sake, who wants Bruce's funding, but knowing Bruce he'll get me back and when he does me and you are eloping." He said, kissing her hand, and her heart skipped a beat. She smiled then quickly pulled out her engagement ring forgetting she had it in her pocket. She had to take it off because to the hero community she and Robin were engaged but to the rest of the world, Kory Anders and Richard Grayson are just dating.

"Don't joke like that, but if we do were going to the place they call the Fi, Jee." She said and he just laughed in response.

"How about Australia? They have kangaroo's and dolphin's there, you like Dolphins don't you?"

"Maybe we should return to Egypt I had so much fun last time we went, despite the casualties."

As they continued to talk about places they would love to go to, seconds, minutes, and hours went by till the car finally stopped and door opened to reveal darkness. Starfire went out first and noticed the dark night sky above her, then the sandy white beach only a few yards away. She ran down to it, and rolled in the sand, they had sand back in Jump City but nothing like this. The sand was pure white and seemed twice as soft, and it was. Robin walked up behind her and laughed seeing her joy as she threw off her shoes and walked ankle deep into the water.

So… he too threw off his shoes, and ran to pick her up bridal style. He carried her around spinning in circles splashing water as she giggled. He let her down and she splashed him playfully in response. They started a splash war, not even realizing that Wilson was standing behind them next to the car, with his butler, Wintergreen.

"He really does let his guard around her, he doesn't even know that he's about to enter the home of his greatest enemy." Wintergreen said to Wilson knowing that Dick wouldn't here.

"Why do you think I brought her along?" He said rhetorically.

"And Miss Adeline will have someone to keep her company now, and to relate too, not to mention her son may I ask sir, is he really or did you fool everyone including the Dark Knight himself."

"You know me Wintergreen, I don't fool who I know can't be fooled, and the Dark Knight and his former protégé can't be tricked, at least not for long, so yes Wintergreen, he is my son. Why do you think I was interested in him being my apprentice, the similarities between us were too great to go unnoticed. And when I started digging I found out his identity and then it was just simple after that, and when I got Addie to confess what she did, I was sure. I've known since the beginning, Robin's my real son, not Grant or Joseph, they were insufficient, but Robin he's the success.

"Whether he realizes it he comes from the blood of criminals, not circus folk. Funny thing is Bruce Wayne knew all along that he's my son, though he claims to not believe it and that he came from a normal, as normal can get for circus folk, family."

"Well I do hope that the young master will accept the truth, and his fiancé adjusts better than Miss Adeline did." He said, that's when Wilson noticed the ring on Kori's finger, she had forgotten to take it off.

"Well that does make this all the more interesting, doesn't it?" He asked and Wintergreen just nodded. Dick soon turned and noticed the two talking in front of the large beach side mansion. He gaped as he and Starfire walked over to them but quickly glanced back at the beach only to wonder if he owned the entire beach because he couldn't see another house for miles.

They walked up to them and followed them into the mansion. It immensely reminded Dick of Wayne Manor because of the darkness that enveloped the room which seemed to calm him slightly. Suddenly a woman came from around the corner and ran over towards them with amazing speed. She had blond hair and blue eyes, and the same nose as him, Dick, unfortunately, couldn't help but notice the similarity. Her arms came around him and she started to sob as she rocked him bag and forth in a desperate way.

"I'm sorry." She said trying desperately to collect herself after letting go of him realizing that he probably had no idea who she was. "I'm Adeline, your mother."

"Uh…" Dick said not sure of what to say, but as Wilson passed Dick swore he heard him say 'smooth'.

"And you are?" She asked, Kori, and then saw the ring on her finger.

Kori noticing her shock quickly pulled the ring off and threw it into her pocket.

"NO, no, you're his fiancé, um… I don't mean to be rude but how old are you?" She asked.

"18." They both said at the same time.

"I don't mean to be rude but isn't that a bit young to be getting married, I mean you're still in school."

"Not exactly, we both finished high school three years early, and we got our Masters in those three years we weren't in high school, in other words people call us Kid Genius's."

"I finished college at the age of 19, Addie and I believe you were 17 when you did the same." He said pouring a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

"I know that, I was just asking for curiosities sake." She yelled back not even turning to him but instead lifting her head of high on a diagonal angle.

"And I was just wondering how long have you too been dating."

"3 Years." He said. "Give or take a year."

"First kiss?"

"Tokyo, we were on a business trip with Mr. Wayne, us and my friends."

"Dare I ask?" She said crossing her arms. Both Kori and Dick looked at each other and quickly shouted out no's.

"No way!" "No, no, no." "I'm a virgin and for now I'd like to stay that way!" "Not yet!"

"Good keep it that way." Addie said sternly.

"God Addie stop interrogating them." He said walking over and kissing her on the lips. He was taller than her by a few inches and he slightly leaned over to kiss her. Robin was happy he had grown taller than Starfire, because he was never too keen about her being taller.

"Well maybe you could've told me you were bringing his fiancé home too I wouldn't have interrogated them in the first place."

"Trust me Adeline I had no idea." He said walking over into another branch of the large room where a plasma screen TV was and switched it on. He flipped to the Gotham Knights game, Dick walked over and sat down on the other chair and started to watch.

"You like the Gotham Knights?" He asked.

"I did grow up in Gotham, I guess old habits are hard to break, not that I want to break this one." He said chuckling slightly.

"I know what you mean, even though I live in Jump I'm still a Knight's fan." Dick replied, he stilled hated the man but he was trying to get the best out of it all till Bruce got him out. He felt bad for sending Bruce that text, he had no idea what he was going to do, Gotham was on the other side of the country, and he still wasn't exactly sure where he was so he just decided to relax and rewind till Bruce gets him out. These people seemed decent, and some kid would be lucky to have them as parents, just not him. One of the reasons he wanted to go back to being Bruce's ward is because he liked the freedom that came with it, not that the ton of money wasn't appealing too since he was probably going to the sole heir of the Wayne Family fortune, and the chance to be himself, the kick butt one man swat team, Robin.

Though he and Wilson talked about the games and made side comments while watching the game and while they did that Addie and Kori went off to talk.

"Let's leave these two to some father son bonding." She said winking and Kori nodded. She followed Adeline to another room with a TV and couches with a small kitchen where Adeline made popcorn and Kori picked a chick flick for them to watch.

"Destiny, have you seen it before?" Addie asked seeing the movie casing.

"Yes it is my favorite, it reminds myself of Richard and I." She said.

"What's it about again?" Addie asked.

"A woman moves to a new town and is taken in by a troubled police officer who's past is slowly catching up to him and then she has to help him through the trials of his life." She said.

"I see but what does that have to do with Richard?"

"Well losing his parents at such a young age wasn't easy and then taking on all the responsibility that comes with being the ward of Bruce Wayne." She said.

"I see…" Adeline said softly.

"Oh sorry… I'm still just getting used to all of this." Kori said.

"It's fine, in a way I am too." She said.

-R-

"Listen Richard I'm sorry that you were put into this position." Wilson said out of nowhere.

Dick didn't know how to respond so he didn't.

"I think I should show you something."He said standing up; Dick stood up in response and followed him down a few halls, and to a small room with a large bookshelf, small fireplace, and a grandfather clock identical to the one at Wayne Manor which led down into the Batcave.

"What is this?"

"Your study." He said.

"You can work here and just rewind, I had one when I was your age and it helped me straighten out my priorities." He said. "My study is just down the hall."

"Uh, thanks. "Dick said walking around and viewing the laptop of the computer and the already blazing fire.

"You're welcome, and if you need anything I'll be down the hall on the left so just come in get me and I'll show you to your room. I believe Kori, and your mother are probably watching a movie in the media room so they probably won't be done for a while. Just relax, there's a ton books, and a lot of my personal favorites in the bookshelf maybe you'd like them."

Dick nodded and when he turned to say thanks he was already gone. Dick went and closed the door quickly and looked around the room, the only thing lighting it was the fire and the room was very tranquil. Then he looked at the clock and wondered, not being able to control his curiosity he walked over to the clock and set the time to Bruce's parents death but nothing happened, then he suddenly remembered Wilson saying. It was his Study, so he turned the hands to 7:51 P.M. and heard a click but nothing happened the door didn't swing open and nothing moved, so he just set the time back and went and sat in one of the leather seats.

Bruce better get me out of here soon or I'm gonna go insane!


-TT-

"Yes Master Bruce is inviting you over to help." Alfred said over the phone while watching Bruce run in and out of the Batcave and the clock entrance, carrying papers and books on Wilson.

"After what we did last time?" Cyborg asked on the other end.

"Yes despite our last encounter."

"Yo, BB go get your girlfriend were going to Gotham!" He yelled out and you could here Beast Boys whinny voice in the background.

"We just went on one date, it's not even official yet so stop calling her my girlfriend! Plus it's like 3 in the morning" He yelled back.

"Whatever." Cyborg muttered.

"Okay Al we'll be there in a few hours." Cyborg then hung up his comm. leaving Alfred stunned.

"They are on their way Master Bruce are you sure we should be allowing them back here again?" He asked hesitantly.

"No but if they have any idea on what Deathstroke's pulling I want them here to tell me." He said.

"I see." Alfred said thinking about Robin, what he was doing at this very moment. Robin said he would be back tonight but he wasn't here and it was almost sunrise. To say the least Bruce was slightly worried and so was he, they both carried immensely for him and knowing that he was legally in the custody of someone untrustworthy was a scary thought.
