Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, however this idea is mine. I would like to thank my sister xXME AGAINST THE WORLDXx for helping me write this and others of this series.
Chapter 1: New City, New Hopes
I had always wanted to grow up and be like Bruce, but now I couldn't wait to leave. I had become Batman's sidekick, but he over shadowed me. Everything I did didn't matter because Batman could do it ten times better. I was sick of people not noticing me.
I left, I don't regret it, and Bruce understands. He all but threw me a going away party. Something tells me he wanted me out of there. Either that or he thought me leaving would be a good thing for me to do right now. That was it no more team work for me. I worked alone from now on.
My name is Richard Grayson, most people know me as Robin, though. I've lived with Bruce since I was 12 when my parents died. Now I'm 15 and I'm on my own for the first time. I know how to take care of myself, Alfred taught me how.
I crouched on the platform of the fire escape, waiting for the theif to come right toward me. And sure enough, I heard his labored breathing as he rounded the corner. He thought he'd out run the law, but he was so wrong I wanted to laugh. I threw a bat-a-rang at him, hitting his hand causing him to drop his bag of stolen goods.
"Huh?" He looked around blindly, "I don't want any trouble,"
"Than you shouldn't have caused any," I said as I jumped down from the fire escape, right behind him.
"Hey this ain't your town," the thief said, fear evident on his face.
"Well I fly solo now," I said. I left the burglar hanging upside down, tied up hoping the police would find him. I noticed a bright light in the sky streaking overhead, there was a loud crash causing the ground to shake, and I knew what ever it was had landed some where, and close by. I went to investigate, only to find a girl in strange clothing with glowing green eyes. Her hands seemed to be bound in some sort of restraining device that I'd never seen before. She screamed in some language I know isn't even an earth language. We fought, ending up all over the city, she was a fearsome fighter. She was about to strike with a look of pure killing intent when she was hit in the side by, what looked like a green ram. The ram then turned to me and turned into a boy and said.
"Ex-Doom Patrol member Beast Boy, sir! How can I help?" His eyes widened as he realized who I was, "You're Robin, aren't you, sir?" he asked.
"You can Start by not calling me sir," I said annoyed already, "Now Beast Boy was it?" I asked.
"Yeah," He said. Beast Boy looked down the street at the girl. Beast Boy pointed at her unable to speak. I looked back, and she was holding a bus with her foot. We started running. We looked back as a big teen stepped out before us and stopped the bus. He set the bus down and turned around to look at us.
"You better be careful you could get hurt," he said to us.
"Thanks for the tip," I said in a flat monotone.
"Yeah thanks," Beast Boy said. "I'm Beast Boy by the way," he said to the large boy.
He opened my mouth to speak but the girl had started flying towards us. I had to jump backwards so I wouldn't get hit.
"Wanna help us she's gonna destroy the city," I said.
"Sure," he said.
"What's your name?" Beast Boy asked, getting distracted again.
"Let's go she getting away," I said. We started running towards her. She stopped at the end of the block. She was challenging us to come closer. We stopped trying to think of what to do.
"I say attack head on," the tall teen said. "All three of us at once." he added.
"That's the best plan so far," Beast Boy said.
He looked up at me, waiting for my imput.
"Let's go," he said. We ran forward only to be blocked by a large black raven. We looked at the shield confused.
"Violence isn't always the answer," said a monotone behind us.
I turned around and saw a short girl. She had short violet hair and sapphire eyes filled with a saddness words could not describe. She was wearing a black long sleeved unitard and a blue cloak. On her forehead was a small red diamond shaped gem.
"Who are you?" I asked, feeling for some reason she was familiar to me.
"Maybe you should try being alittle nicer to her," the girl said her voice still devoid of any emotion. She let the barrier fall. Her eyes locked with mine for a moment. I nodded and slowly walked towards the girl.
I held my hands up. She flinched and looked ready to attack. I reached to my belt and pulled a lock pick out.
"I only wanna help," I said. I started working on the weird cuffs. They fell to the ground. Ahd she rubbed her wrists. She then with one arm pulled me close and kissed me on the lips to my surprise. She then pushed me away and said, "If you do not wish to get hurt then you will leave me alone," she flew away. Leaving me shocked, on the ground. I jumped to my feet and said.
"We have to find her,"
"More like see if she'll give him another kiss," the tall teen muttered, thinking I couldn't hear him.
