It was a beautiful sunny day,no villains attacks,aliens destroying the earth - nothing. The titans are all relaxing at the is cooking a home snack called machivaniya for her friends. Cyborg and beast boy are playing video games. Raven is trying to read a book over the boys' bickering but robin,unlike his friends,is not relaxing at the tower with his friends. He has supposedly been inside his room all morning studying case files over Slade,his arch enemy. When actually in reality,he is strolling at jump city park in his civilian identity - Regina "Dixie" Grayson.
You see robin got tired of being the headstrong leader of the teen titans. So,he decided to take a break from crime fighting and act himself for once. Robin is actually not 16 years old as the citizens believe nor is he serious , confident in his abilities ?He , or I should say she , is actually 11 years old and she is shy , smart and friendly. Shocking isn't this that the titans' leader is even younger that beast boy and is actually a girl . When dixie is robin,she uses an enchanted necklace that makes her look five years older and a boy physically. Batman had gotten that necklace for robin when she first started as a hero as he wanted to keep her safe.
Now back to dixie , she was strolling through the park smiling and listening to music on her iPod. She saw that everyone was happy , all except a man sitting on a bench all alone in a secluded corner. He was holding his head between his hand and seemed to be felt really bad for him and wanted to help , despite not knowing the man. Still , dick decided that he will try to make the man happy as to her everybody must be happy on such a nice day. Dick took off her earphones and put them in her pocket , went and sat next to the man and held his hand. The man looked up and was surprised to see a girl with the longest and soft looking ebony hair looking at him with the most bluest eyes filled with understanding and care holding his hand and looking at him as if telling him he is not alone.
Dixie smiled and said : "It's alright,sir. Please don't cry and suffer alone. I don't like it when you cry on such a nice day ." The man snatched his hand back and replies: " No , it's not alright. You will never understand how i'm feeling right now ! My wife LEFT me , my son is rendered MUTE , my daughter almost died in an explosion and IT'S ALL MY FAULT ! " Dixie gets a bit scared and backs off. The man stands up and jabs a finger at Dixie . " I bet you are playing a trick on me right now , aren't you? I bet you have never felt the pain
I felt at my loved ones' despair. I bet all your life you have been happily living with your parents and IS NOW TRYING TO TRICK ME ! " Dixie stands up and screams back with tears running down her face : " PARENTS , what parents , my parents are DEAD and they have been for FIVE YEARS ! Every year , I wish that they had never fallen and that it's all my FAULT ! And no I am not tricking you ." The man is surprised and ashamed of himself for making the girl cry . " I ... I am sorry , child , for making you cry ."
Dixie wipes his tears and said : " It's okay and please don't call me a child , it's makes me sound like I'm a baby ! " Dixie pouts at the man . The man laughs out and dixie is at first confused , then laughs , both stop laughing after a while . They were once again happy . The man ask " So ... what is your name ? "Dick replies " My name is Regina Grayson , sir . " The man said : " Well , my name is Slade Wilson . I have to say you are quite an interesting young girl . Are you available right now ? Is anyone with you ? I would like to treat you ice cream for cheering me up . "
Dixie blushes and shyly replies : " I am free right now and I had come here alone but really there is no need to -" "Nonsense ! I will treat you ice cream as you deserve it . Now let's go ! You look too skinny to be healthy . " He grabs Dixie's arm and drags her over to the ice cream shop , despite dixie's protests .They found a spot .After enjoying their ice creams and each other's company , they decided that they have to go and agreed to meet again tomorrow at the same park . They waved each other goodbye .Dixie felt a bit sad and was already missing Slade , not knowing that Slade felt the same . She hurried back to the tower as it was almost dinner time and it was her turn to cook dinner . She sneaked into the tower and back to her room . She changed back into her uniform and became robin , the boy wonder , once again .
He went to the kitchen and start cooking dinner . Out of all the titans , robin's cooking skills are the best . Cyborg only cooks food made of meat . Beast boy only cooks vegetarian food and lots of tofu . Starfire always cooks uneatable tamarian food that sometimes are living creatures . Raven can only make simple dishes .That's why the titans were always looking forward to robin's cooking . Robin decided to cook spaghetti in tomato and seafood sauce . He also separated fried lamb chops in a pan for Cyborg and cooked carrots and spinach in another pan for beast boy . He also boiled some Earl Gray tea for Raven .When he finished cooking and setting up the table for five , he said " TITANS DINNER TIME ! ".
Instantly , Starfire and Raven came flying in and sat down . " FOOD ! Thanks,robin! " yelled Cyborg/beast boy while running in . They quickly sat down and started to salivate at the site of the food . They all start digging in . They all put spaghetti on their plates with either meat or vegetable as topping , except for Starfire who put lots of mustard on hers .Starfire asked : " Friend Raven , would you later do the design of the nail with me ? " Raven stared : " No . " and continued to eat her dinner .Starfire tried to reason: " But friend Raven , we shall have fun together - " " No way , dude ! I don't want to eat meat . Don't you know that I turn into most of these animals - " Beast boy exclaimed ." Come on dude , try it . I promise that you will enjoy it ... " Cyborg reasoned .
Robin sigh . They always bicker every time they eat anywhere . It was amusing at first , but now it is kind of tiring . Robin turned to look out the window and thought about the man once again . He can't help but think that Mr Wilson looked somehow familiar as if they had met before .Robin also felt some kind of connection to him that reminded him of his ... father . Robin suddenly felt a large wave of loneliness and longing engulf him at that thought . He felt a hand on his shoulder . " Robin , are you alright ? " He looked up to see that it was Raven and that all of the titans were looking at him worriedly. Raven must have sensed his emotions .
" I ... I'm alright guys , don't worry about me . Just continue eating . " Robin told them in a quiet whisper . He quickly finished his dinner , washed his dishes and left as quick as he could .He could hear the titans discussing him and talking about whether he is going to betray them again and whether they should trust him as their leader or not . Robin felt even more detached from his friends . He walked quickly back to his room . He locked the door , took off his mask and slumped on his bed . She started to cry . She laid there crying until he fell asleep while wishing for his parents , batman , Alfred or even Slade , the man he met in the park , to come and comfort her .
