Ok so I got bored and this came from nowhere. Just a side thought and I just started typing. I know I'm meant to be doing my ROTG story and I promise you I'm working on it but this was stuck in my head so I had to write it down. Anyway this might be a one shot or I might continue it into a story later. For now I'm going to leave it open so suggestions are welcome. Anyway read and enjoy.

Description: Robin goes to the mountain to train with a new simulator. The team walks in and observes


Robin was looking forward to this day. He had been looking forward to it all week. Because of this he found himself arriving at mount justice early and alone. Megan, Connor, Wally and Artemis were all most likely getting home from school and Kaldur was visiting Atlantis so this left Robin alone and a Robin left alone could be dangerous

Robin had rushed home from school and went straight to the mountain from the cave for today. Batman had updated the training room and created a combat Simulator. Robin had worked closely with him to perfect it. Basically holograms were produced that can be manipulated into just about what ever challenge or scenario you could think off. A metal bad is wrapped around your wrist and electrical currents control your nerves and make your body react to the hologram as if they were actually there. They were designed to shut down before the body can take any serious harm. They had completed it yesterday and batman had allowed robin to install it to Mount Justice on the condition that he would wait until the next morning.

It was now that Robin was installing the new program. Once it was done Robin sat at against the wall and waited for the others to arrive. But it seemed today he had the patience of Wally and after about a minute he was back up at the control panel. He might as well test it out to make sure everything worked properly right. Placing a metal bad on his wrist Robin walked into the middle of the room and took a fighting stance.

"Activate scenario T06"

At robins command several holograms appeared around him. Each of them looked nothing more than street thugs but they did have increased speed, muscle and combat knowledge. Just to give a challenge.

"Play Bring Me To Life by Evanescence" Robin said. He was in a playful mood and he thought it would be nice to train along to some music.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?

Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb

Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

"Play scenario" with those words the holographic enemies started to attack him. with a good beat from the music robin sent launches and kicks flying everywhere while dodging possible blows. He took care of the thugs quickly, too quickly for his liking. To prove that everything worked properly he had to get a better challenge.

"Activate scenario T01" he said to the computer. As his request was processed a large hologram appeared in front of him. it was of a large man who was probably twice as large as superman. Though he hologram didn't have superpowers he did have a large level of strength, not to mention that he was Huge! Robin smiled to himself and prepared himself. "Play"

As soon as Robin uttered the words the holograms eyes widened and it let out a furious roar that sounded like some sort of crazed animal. It suddenly started charging him with fist flying forward that were easily twice the side of robins head. It was probably because of this that robin didn't hear the zeta announce the arrival of the rest of the team.


Megan, Conner, Wally and Artemis all seemed to arrive at the same time and were greeted with loud music and inhuman roars. Hearing it they immediately got into a fighting stance before making their way to where the sound was coming from, the digital training room. Rounding the corner they came face to face not with some sort of rampaging monster but a teen Atlantian standing in the door way looking into the room with interest

"Kaldur-" Megan began but was cut off with a quick 'Shhh'

Aqualad pressed his finger to his lips in a motion to be quiet. He was relaxed and had a small smile on his face so the team figured there wasn't a threat. Wally, he being the most impatient of the lot, swarmed Aqualad with hushed questions.

"what's going on? Why do we need to be quiet? What was th-"wally began but was cut off when the hand of a certain archer smacked him over the back of the head. "Ow!"

Artemis just rolled her eyes and pointed to the training room. Following her finger Wally looked over and saw robin fighting a half see-through man/monster. As if seeing the question written on his face Artemis quickly explained the situation. "It's a hologram. Robin was talking about installing it yesterday. Remember?"

"O-of course I remember. I'm not that stupid" Wally said quickly, not remembering the conversation whatsoever. Artemis rolled her eyes and was about to start an argument when Kaldur held up a hand, silencing them.

So instead of arguing the rest of the team found themselves watching robing train against… whatever it was in awe. It was amazing how someone as small as Robin could easily out manover the enemy. For the first 5 minutes Robing simply executed a range of perfect punches and dodges before getting seemingly bored. This is where it got interesting.

As the thing brought down both of his fists to try and flatten the boy, Robin jumped strait up flipping through the air, using the enemy as a spring board. He landed perfectly behind it and before it had time to react Robin sent a kick into the back of its left knee, giving of a satisfying I Crack.

The thing stumbled under the pain before turning to attack boy wonder. It went to swing his fist up but only met air as the boy half barred rolled, half flipped out of the way and sent another kick to the things right knee. Its legs have way under the weight and he collapsed to the ground on his hands and knees. He barely had enough time to register that boy wonder was above him until it was too late. Robin, after dealing with the height issue jumped above him and, using the momentum and power of his decent, kicked him hard enough to knock him out cold. If it was a real scenario it probably would have killed him.

"Scenario T01 complete. Status: Victory" a robotic female voice called out. Robin's body visibly relaxed as the tension left and he let out a large sigh. He experimentally rubbed his shoulder and gave a small wince as he realised there was a little pain there. If it was real life a blow from a monster like that would of caused much serious damage but at the moment there was only a small ache as his body reacted to the illusion of getting hit. Robin had purposely let himself be hit to see how the system was going and discovered everything was working perfectly fine.

"Stop media" Robin said as he realised the song was repeating itself for possibly the tenth time. He walked back over to the control panel and removed the metal band around his wrist. It seemed that as soon as the nerve simulator was removed the pain in his shoulder was virtually non-existent. There would still be a bruise there but most of the pain came from the simulator. It was after his body lost the illusion that he noticed he wasn't alone.

Looking over to the doors he spotted th rest of his team staring. Aqualad, Megan and Artemis all had a look of awe on their faces. Wally looked like he was just about to burst and yell about how cool it was and Conner… was Conner. Not much of a reaction from him. Robin slowly walked over to his tram but was interrupted when he was just about tacked by a red and yellow blur.

"Dude, that was AWESOME! How the hell did you do that?" Wally practically yelled. The rest of the team seemed to have recovered from the initial shock and walked over to join the two.

"I did not know you had that power and skills. But, of you don't mind me asking, was it really necessary to get that violent?" Kaldur came up nest to robin and placed a hand on his shoulder. Honestly the others had been thinking that too. As far as they knew robin wasn't usually that violent and isn't the type who would break someone's leg to disable them. All except Connor of course who didn't seem to care much.

Robin looked at them slightly confused before talking.

"Well I was able to do the because of training and hard work. Something you should do more often" he said, looking at Wally sternly. He then turned to Aqualad "As for your question yes it was necessary to do that because I wanted to test the extent of the holograms. Honestly I didn't think it was that violent. It was only some broken legs. I've seen much… worse." Robin said, the last few words coming out as a whisper.

"Anyway do you guys want to try? Batman and I have been working on this forever. It's very welming." He said cheerfully and turned back to the control panel.

The rest of the team just stared, slightly shocked at what Robin had said. Their minds started wondering to what sort of situations their 'little brother' had faced over his years in the crime fighting gig. It must be unpleasant if robin talked about it so… guiltily.

"Are you coming?"

The team were returned to the present when they realised Robin was waiting. They all put on small smiles and followed him, exited to test out the new training scenarios themselves. For the rest of the day they held some exiting training sessions but each member found their minds wondering back to what Robin had said

There was so much about their little bird they didn't know.


Sorry for the mistakes that seem t always be there no matter how may times i go over it...

So what do you think? Is it any good? I am terrible at combat writing but practice makes perfect. I have a few ideas here and there but I also have a lot of school work so I need to find time for all of this. Anyway please review and leave suggestions. :3
