This is just the prologue but there will be more to come. I will try to update frequently but don't know how much I can, if it takes a while than sorry. I also apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice. If I did than Robin would make an appearance in every single episode.

5 Years ago

An 8 year old Robin rolled her eyes for what felt like the thousandth time. She pushed past Alfred who was taking her measurements for her suit. She rushed in front of batman and out her hands on her hips.

"I do NOT! Want to pretend to be a BOY!" Robin screamed at her mentor.

Batman sighed and rubbed his temple. He was really starting to question taking Robin on as his ward. Then he remembered the look on her face when she saw her parents, the two people she loved the most fall to their deaths. He remembered how every night the same voice that was currently yelling at him screamed in terror as she had a nightmare. It had been a month since her parents died and two weeks since she walked into the batcave and demanded to be his partner. He would never admit it but she had grown on him. Hence the reason he had agreed to her being his partner if she agreed to a few conditions. One of them being she had to pretend to be a boy while fighting crime.

He turned to her and said, "You have to if you want to be my partner. Besides it is only while we are fighting crime you can be the real you all you want at school and at home."

"But why? Can't I just be normal me? What difference dose it make if I fight bad guys as a boy or a girl?"

Batman sighed again before kneeling in front of his young protégé. "For two reasons: One being that girls who fight crime are often underestimated. Two it will help protect your secret Identity. That way it will be harder for criminals to figure out who you really are and hurt you."

Robin lowered her head knowing that he was right but not wanting to admit it. Batman couldn't stand the look that crossed the young girl's face. He put a hand on her shoulder and said her name gently.

When she looked up he said "I'll make you a deal. 2 weeks every six months you get completely off. You won't have to do any superhero work and can be yourself full time during those two weeks. Okay? Do we have a deal?"

The young Robin looked up at him and smiled. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. "Thank you so much. For everything." Then she ran back to Alfred to finish getting her costume ready.

Batman sat there completely shocked for a few moments. He smiled quietly to himself before getting up and walking out of the batcave to let Alfred finish his measurements.

He wondered if when she got older she would want more time but he doubted it. Fighting crime can get truly addicting to anyone.

Three weeks later the rest of the Justice League found out Robin was really a girl. But she still kept the persona of 'the BOY wonder'. Putting on a short wig to hide her long black hair, tapeing down her breasts once they developed and never going swimming with Wally, Roy, Kaldur and eventually Conner who weren't aloud to know who she really was or that he was really a she. Though batman would never admit it once Robin met Roy, Wally, Kaldur and later Conner another reason for pretending to be a boy was discovered. He wanted to protect his little girl from any possible suitors.

That all ended the day Robin saved the Young Justice team from a group of six robots during one of the days she had off. Thus, sparking the team's interest in the mysterious, beautiful girl who managed to take down six robots on her own.

Okay I hope that didn't totally suck. I'm sorry the chapter was really short but I'm just getting started. I'm going to try to update really soon but don't know if I can. Please tell me what you think and leave a review.
