AN: Hey guys! Welcome to my first Teen Titans story. Please note for this story Jason Todd is dead and and that Bruce and Dick more or less made up at his funeral.

Disclaimer: As much as I wished I own the Teen Titans, I sadly don't.

Robin: HA!

Me: *glares* I'm gonna make that bird suffer.

Robin: *pales*

Me: Ok, enough staling. Enjoy the story!


Robin was packing. He had received a letter from Alfred. The last time he got a letter from Alfred was when Jason had died. When he first read it, he had locked himself in his room for a week, much to the Titans confusion. He took a deep breath. He was going to do this. He had to. Robin looked over the letter again.

Dear Master Richard,

I regret to inform you of our terrible predicament. Miss Gordon has been shot by the Joker. She was not killed, however, she is currently hospitalized. The doctors say she will recover, but she will be paralyzed from the waist down. Master Timothy also suffered at the hands of the Joker. He was tortured to the brink of insanity. Master Bruce is doing the best he can to help him recover, but we can only do so much. We also received a troubling message from Ra's al Ghul: Master Jason is alive and out there somewhere. We are unaware of his current whereabouts. Master Richard, I understand you are quite happy where you are, but please, know that you are needed here as well. Please consider returning to Gotham.

Regards,
Alfred Pennyworth

Robin's hands trembled slightly as he put the letter down for the last time. He was going back to Gotham. His family needed him. He had already started to mail his stuff to the Manor, in small bits so the Titans wouldn't get suspicious. He sighed. Tonight was the night. He was leaving. Robin packed a backpack containing his wallet and civilian clothing. He took one last glance around his now empty room. He would miss it. He'd miss the Titans, but this was something he needed to do. Robin only hoped his team could forgive him. He walked down to the garage where he found the Titans gathered, arms crossed with grim expressions.

"Oh hey, guys. What's up?" Robin said.

"Nothing much. We were just wondering where our leader might be going at this early in the morning," replied Beast Boy.

Robin just silently straddled his bike.

"Friend Robin," Starfire pleaded. "Please tell us where you are going."

Robin sighed. "I'm going to Gotham."

"And why that can't wait until morning?" Raven questioned. She had a feeling she knew why Robin was leaving.

"Please guys," Robin said. The Titans looked at him in shock. They couldn't remember the last time he said "please." "It's family business. I'll see you in a couple of weeks." And with that, he said a hasty goodbye and sped off toward Gotham. He didn't have the heart to tell them that he wouldn't be coming back.
