Hey everyone! Recently, if you couldn't tell from my favorites, I have realized the amazingness that is Teen Titans. And by amazingness, I mean Robin. I've read so many fics on him revealing his identity and in the middle of one, this just popped into my head. So... here it is! Coming right up after this disclaimer...
Disclaimer: Me no ownie.
Robin had entered his life as a titan knowing that, one day, he would have to go back and he would have to be ready for it. Identity was everything (both of them) and, besides, it wasn't his place to give up Bruce's anyways. Also, he had known that, through all the harsh words that had been spoken the night he left, Bruce cared. That was the whole reason for their fight anyways. After having his son shot by the Joker, Bruce was scared. He realized Robin was just a little kid and he didn't want him in harm's way anymore.
What Bruce didn't realize was that Richard was no longer a child anymore. He lost that when he lost his parents.
Another thing Batman hadn't realized was that Robin wasn't his to take away. He may have given Robin the tools he needed to become a crime fighting vigillante but everything else stemmed from Richard Grayson, who just wanted the world to be a little more just and fair. He could never take Robin away from Richard but he could take his cape and weapons, and 'clip' Robin's wings. So Robin decided leave first.
He took his R-cycle and crammed as many batarangs, grappling hooks, costumes, and belt refills he could grab into the fold out sidecar. He covered the Robin accessories with sunglasses, suits and civvies. Somewhere shoved in there was his wallet, mementos, and enough bandages and gauze to last him until the bullet wound healed. He wrote a note to Alfred, Barbra, and Batman (the latter simply telling him to tell the press his mysterious disappearance was his departure to boarding school) then zoomed off into the streets.

Robin shook his head to snap out of his flashback. He looked down at his swimming trunks (he had to make his tan look realistic) and the tan borderlining on sunburn. Deciding that would be good enough for today he stood up and folded his chair then walked over to the edge of the room. From his view on top of Titans tower he could see all the city but, due to the distance from the island to the shore, not even a person with binoculars would be able to see Dick Grayson getting his tan on the roof of the giant letter. Even if someone could, he already had his excuse planned out- Shouldn't the richest kid in America get the best tanning spot in America? Granted, there were still downsides to that by risking the Teen Titans questioning him on why exactly they didn't know he was on their roof or the paparazzi getting to them first and asking them. Of course, he could always say Robin invited him... He backed away from the side of the tower. It was better to not tempt fate and not have to use an excuse at all.
Robin went over to the door leading down from the roof but opened his communicator first to check on his tracker. Of course he trusted his friends enough not to track them but it still hadn't stopped him from tracking the T-car to make sure everyone hadn't left from their outing today. Yup. The T-car was still parked outside of their favorite pizza place. They should probably be wrapping up their veggie vs meat argument and would be there for an hour more. He chuckled silently to himself. If they were with him as he was now (without a mask, not in a bathing suit I mean) they would be able to buy that pizza place and have all the meat and veggie pizzas Beastboy and Cyborg could ever want.
He slipped through the door and walked into the kitchen. It had to be the quietest the tower has ever been been. He could actually hear the refridgerator humming and his own feet padding across the floor. He opened the refridgerator and grabbed the orange juice and drank straight from the carton (something the rest of the titans could never know about). Mid-swig he heard the door swish open and people walk into the room.
"-was actually really nice of them to make a half-veg and half-meat lover's pizza." Said someone who sounded like... Cyborg? But he shouldn't be home yet!
"Yeah dude!" This time it was Beastboy. Crap.
"They probably got tired of hearing you idiots argue everytime then leave before you actually eat anything." Yup. Definitely Raven. He was screwed.
"Hey atleast we got to eat before Mammoth showed up and trashed the T-car... wait. Who's that in the kitchen?" While they were talking, Robin had attempted to screw on the lid of the orange juice, put it back in the refridgerator, and walk silently out of the room without being noticed. With that option out of the way he did what any other sane person would do- he bolted.
And they, as any sane super-powered teen who had just found someone "breaking into" their house, followed.
Yea. He was so screwed.
*15 minutes later*
"Stop!" shouted Starfire. "I do not wish to hurt you!" She cried as launched a starbolt at his feet in an effort to stop him. He played along as his break-in character.
"Yea right!" he called.
"Please! Do not try to run!" she called again. Hadn't she noticed asking bad guys to stop wouldn't work by now? Robin thought to himself. Starfire flew down the hallways after him as he turned a corner, followed by Raven gliding behind, Beastboy running as a cheetah, and Cyborg... just running. Starfire then stopped as she reached a dead end, with Raven narrowly avoiding her. Sadly, Beastboy and Cyborg noticed too late and crashed into them both.
"Ow!" cried Beastboy. He looked around but didn't see their intruder. "DUDE! Where did he GO?" The other titans sat up and looked around, also realizing he had got away.
"Well he couldn't of gone far." said Raven. "He has to be here somewhere. Everyone look around. Maybe there's a secret passageway or something." Everyone spread out but couldn't find anything. Meanwhile, from the top left corner of the room, Robin bit his lip to keep from laughing at his teammates. He had wedged himself in corner where the walls meet the ceiling and the shadows hid from view. Batman would be proud. He shook his head to clear that thought from his mind. Unfortunately, that small motion set him off balance enough to come crashing down- right on top of Beastboy.
Dazed and rubbing his head he looked up through his blue eyes up at his team mates until he remembered he was on top of Beastboy. He looked down.
"Um, what's up doc?" Beastboy asked.
Tell me how I did for my first TT fic! Please! I NEED REVIEWS! (And constructive critisism. I bow down to all of you who give me constructive critisism.) Also, tell me where to go from here please or if I shouldn't continue it.
