Chapter 1:

All was quiet in Jump City except in Titans tower. It was in the middle of the night Robin tossed and turned in his sleep sweating. Robin woke up blue eyes shot open "it was only a nightmare but it was the same nightmare i keep having". Robin fell back down on to his bed unable to sleep for the past few nights he hasn't been able to sleep peacefully. He looked at his clock which read three O'clock in the morning he shook his head and drifted back to sleep.

All the titans woke the next morning and noticed robin wasn't present Starfire sighed "why is our friend Robin not with us the fine morning". Cyborg making breakfast spoke not turning around "Rae whats today's date?" Raven looked over to the Calendar and said "June 16th". Cyborg sighed "look Robin's always been a private person we don't know much about his past but if any of y'all have any business with him do it today cause Robin's not going to be down for anything tomorrow".

Starfire still curious "but why Cyborg?". Cyborg finished making breakfast and looked to Starfire "i dunno Star its just tomorrow seems to be the day Robin isn't around". Beast boy lifted his head out of the fridge "maybe he has a date or maybe hes hunting down his evil twin you know Red X?". Raven rolled her eyes "or maybe its the day he just wants to be alone we all have things we deal with". The Titans all agreed and sat down for breakfast while robin sat on top of the tower looking out to the water thoughts drifting back to when he was younger the night of June 17th.

That night that terrible night i witnessed my parent's death. That time i was part of a team the flying Grayson's including my Mother and Father John and Mary Grayson. We were practicing our acrobat routine for a show in Gotham without a safety net when we saw the head of the circus was talking with a mobster by the name of tony zucco. I didnt think much of him at the time we saw the ring master and asked him what it was about till Zucco walked past us.

That same night we were doing a show for a full house when are parents started the act swinging back and forth my Father flipped back between the trapeze and my mother joined him. My mother held by her ankles by my father she reached out but then i saw it the trapeze line came off the hook and my mother reached out and my parents fell to their deaths.

For the first time i felt all alone sure there was the circus but they didn't fill the hole my parents left. The next day a man had came to the ring master and spoke offering to pay for the funeral for my parents. I went to the funeral and it rained hard the man who payed for the funeral came and put his hand on my shoulder and introduced himself to me. His name was Bruce Wayne one of the richest men in Gotham who told me he knew my pain and offered to take me in i accepted.

After a few days i was settled in i had discovered my adoptive fathers biggest secret that there was more to Bruce Wayne then Money , Business and woman he was Batman. A hero who struck fear into the criminals of the underworld and after much convincing he took me under his wing and trained my in the martial arts and being a detective and stealth. So how the time i spent with Batman made it easier but the pain and anger was still there deep inside looking for a way out.

Batman discovered what had happened to my parents and who it was that was behind it. It was Zucco he wanted the circus for the money it pulled in but was denied so he sabotaged the trapeze to get even with the ring master and i wanted revenge but thanks to Batman i chose a better path and brought Zucco to justice but the pain still was there i couldn't let go of my loss was it because i was driven by my revenge or the fact i couldn't let it go did i over look something. Something told me there must have been more to what happened years later i decided to be more then a side kick and moved to a new city and we created a new team.

Raven walked out to see Robin was looking over the City "Cyborg says breakfast was ready and to come get it". Robin stood up and they walked down stairs and joined everyone and sat down for Cyborg's waffles . They ate were enjoying the morning Beast boy turned on the radio when suddenly the news came on "were sorry to intrude on this broadcast but this just in Anthony Zucco has escaped from Gotham prison and is currently on the loose his where about's are unknown". Robin slammed his fist on the table and everyones dishes shook . Robin walked out of the room went to his Bike and rode to the City.

Everyone calmed down and Beast said "So whats eating him?" Starfire was also curious to Robin's outburst. Cyborg shrugged and Raven paid no mind. Instead Raven went to her room looking at the a photo of the team and looked at the photo but only at Robin.

She starred at his image "how do you do it Robin how do you carry so much on your own and why don't you let us in and help". She remembered how he came to her rescue when she was attacked by Slade and was taken by her father. She quietly said "ill help you if you will let me in".
