Hey everyone, this is Tyki's_red_rabbit and this is my first ever written out Fanfiction. Richard Grayson has always been my favorite hero/sidekick ever.

I had just recently heard of another Batman dude by the name of Damian Wayne, I was like; Bats has a f****** biological son? 0_0! I found out by looking up robin videos, although I didn't specify which Robin, and The Son of Batman (2014) caught my eye. So of course I watched it and was like WHAT?! I then went to a guy who knew all about Marvel and D.C. comics and he was like, "yeah, you didn't know that?"

Let me make a few things clear to you guys, I like to watch good shows (in my opinion). I am not a total over-the-top fan in this particular subject; a short while ago I didn't even know there was more than one Robin. I like Dick Grayson as Robin more than Nightwing, why? I don't know, but I still think Nightwing is pretty bada**. Please do not give me flames for not knowing all about this universe (I know some people who would =_=), and sorry to those that would take offense; but I am tired of people saying that I am dumb for it. It has happened.

v Anyway, ignoring my emotional turmoil -_-'heh :} you can call me Red or Red Rabbit, whatever floats your boat. Anyway, I love Young Justice, especially Robin (the first one guys).Jesse McCartney is always cool, he voice acts Roxas in Kingdom Hearts after all, and Rox is my favorite in KH. After watching the son of batman I got this idea that adds Damian into the story line, yep he's the OC guys. Wink, wink.

I think that pairing's cute… or maybe I'm just weird.

So, right, back on topic, um, warnings… I guess.

WARNING: OC, that's not really MY OC. Age change in a certain character that will be explained when it comes along. Grammar, I'm not the best Author guys, first Fanfic here. Boy love, if anyone does not like that, there is a thing called a finger, you put it on the computer to click on things, and can you very easily get out of this fic. My rudeness, ummm, that probably will get rid of most of you.

This takes place right after Artemis joins the team, the have already had their first mission with her. The day after in fact.

Oh, and, I'm not ALL that mean… sometimes. Just wanted you guys to know that.

And thus, our journey begins~

~0~

I looked over my shoulder at my teammates, every single one of them in their designated space. Meaghan's Bio-ship was in camouflage mode, hiding us from the curious gazes of any who would go into the dense forest that we were flying over.

Turning back to the head of the ship, I watched the trees and green plants fly by. This is a mission after all, Batman came to the mountain to give it to us, the assassins of Ra's al ghul where on the move.

~0~ Earlier ~

Sweat ran down my brow as I swung at Superboy.

Right jab. Left kick.

Dodge. Grab. Punch.

I moved like a well-oiled machine, like how I was trained to do. Move like water, and dodge like a snake. After all… I was trained by the best, I thought as is landed a hit to Superboy's face. I hit harder than I normally would while sparing; but, after all, Superboy's not a normal friend.

…

Well, as normal of a friend as a speedster with a loud mouth, an Atlantian with skin like rock, a Martian who can change into a wild animal, and finally a hard headed archer with an itchy finger.

Supes backed up, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand he looked down at his hand with surprise, and then anger. I coiled my muscles ready to spring, when I heard the Zeta-beam activating, alerting everyone that someone was coming in. I turned to look, and missed the fact that his fist was coming straight towards me… and the fact that he was still emotionally unstable… and that he was mad that I actually hit him. In the face. Hard… heh…

The next thing I felt was a white pain flare out across my face; from my temple to the top of my cheek bone it scorched. My head snapped back as I fell to the ground, hard.

Laying there for a moment I was just staring at the ceiling, in a daze. Huh? Where am I? Inception? The ceiling's moving.

"Rob! Are you ok man?" Groaning I turned my head over to Wally, who, was rushing to get to my side.

With his help I was able to sit up, while he was helping me to stand up, I felt another hand on the small of my back. Turning my head I saw Superboy looking at me timidly. I narrowed my eyes, suddenly angry.

"Are, are you… alright?" Superboy was shyly checking over me for anything broken or bruised. My anger disappeared, it wasn't his fault, I remembered. He was still recovering from the people who created him and kept him in isolation.

Cadmus.

They trapped him in that pod for all of his life. Which rendered him with anger and frustration as the strongest emotions to keep him company. He is still recently getting over this feeling of always being angry. He knows now that he has friends that want him for him and not as an experiment. I don't blame him for being edgy and angry at being hit in the face.

Worse things have happened to him, I thought, I can't imagine being all alone-

Alone.

No, that was the end of that train of thought.

Although, Wally didn't think of it that way.

"What where you doing?!" Wally pushed Superboy away from my shoulder, hand moved off. "It was over when Bats came in Supes!" Wally's green eyes flashed with rage.

Expecting Superboy to burst, I winced, I looked up instead to see him hang his head in guilt; and I wasn't the only one. "Wally, I'm sure he didn't mean it." Said Meg'han, she was looking up sadly at Superboy, sadness and understanding were etched across her green face.

Kaldar walked up to Wally and put a hand on his shoulder "yes, I am sure Superboy is most sorry." While he was consulting I put my hand up to my head. I could feel the skin swelling up, sure to turn into a nasty bruise and black eye. It throbbed and I hissed, I pulled my hand back, well he sure did hit it hard.

"Su-"I started, when Artemis came up behind Wally and smacked him on the head, cutting me off. "OW." "Idiot leave him alone". As Wally was rubbing his head Artemis sent a flirtatious look to Superboy. Which he either didn't notice or care as he was too busy looking at me with a look of worry and… something else?

Before I could single it out, I felt a familiar presence behind me. "Robin are you alright?" A cool voice asked behind me. Oh, right. I winced. Of course batman saw me take that fall. Embarrassing. Scratching the back of my head I said sheepishly, "Oh. Yeah, I'm alright Batman."

A flash of concern flashed across his… mask?

Anyone else would not have been able to spot Batman's emotions but I've been in the field with him for four years. I've lived with him for four years; and, I've been his son for four years. I know what he's feeling… sometimes, anyway.

"Alright, team I have a new mission for you."

Everyone gathered, Wally, still rubbing the back of his head, stood himself between me and Superboy. Who was standing behind me, protectively close. Wally push Superboy aside a little and stood just to the right of my shoulder while Superboy stood to my left. I shivered as an intense atmosphere draped across my shoulders; and I wasn't the only one who felt it.

"You two, do I have to go over there?" Batman said menacingly.

Both of them flinched and where silent. Batman resumed to the mission briefing, turning the monitors on, and showing pictures of warehouses with green shrubbery and Sakura trees behind them.

"Now, we have picked up activity in Japan. Stolen supplies all the way from guns to military issued swords. Not many active criminals today would have any interest in swords, which as narrowed our suspects immensely."

Pictures of men in black clad gear appeared, all of them had swords attached to their backs. The only skin you could see where their eyes for their hoods covered up all of their body including their faces.

Batman moved a new picture to the front, showing these same black clad men carrying boxes out of one of the warehouses.

"Batman those are the gear of the Shinobi aren't they?" I said.

"The Shino-what?" Wally asked, his face scrunching up in confusion. His freckles all mixing together.

"The Shinobi, the Japanese term for Ninja." I replied, "They were used as the sort of SWAT team of Japan, they were in stealth missions as well as an offensive-"

"I know what a ninja is, Rob." Wally said sarcastically. "I just didn't know what a Shinobi was, Braniac." After saying this he continued to roll his eyes.

"Their all the same thing geek." Artemis narrowed her eyes. Wally huffed and pouted.

"Correct Robin, and their style in clothing and weapons narrows them down to, The Shadows. "Batman finished before Wally could get in another word.

I sucked in a breath. The Shadows? Then that means-

Kaldur came to the same conclusion that I did. "Batman does this mean Ra's Al Ghul? Is he not the leader of the Shadows?"

Batman turned to Kaldur, a picture of Ra's Al Ghul came out on the screen. He wore his traditional green robes, his peppered hair stood out on his head. The look of a man in his forties, but I knew better. His piercing Greens eyes showed intelligence, and could slice through solid steel.

"Yes Kaldur, he is. While I do not know why he is stealing these weapons, I do know he does not usually show himself in his follower's missions. But that leads you to your mission. Find out why they are stealing these weapons, and put a stop to it."

"But, if you are to come face to face with Ra's Al Ghul, call in and retreat. He is far too dangerous and experienced for you."

Shivering, I recalled the last time Batman and I had to fight Ra's, I ended up, waking up in the Batcave, hooked up to a machine.

"Oh, come on, will you quite babying us?" Superboy growled out, he may have learned to control his anger now as well as to be more patient, understanding, and caring; but he still is Superboy.

"No Superboy," I said. I raised my hand to the back of my again. "Stay whelmed. Listen to Batman on this once, trust me, he is too powerful for us now."

Superboy turned to me with a surprised look, usually I would be mad as anyone to being told that I'm not ready, but I know personally that Ra's al Ghul is a lot better than me.

I heard Wally's smug voice beside me, "geez Supes, calm it down man. You can't win them all after all." He pointed to his chest with his thumb in an aggressive demeanor. His eyebrows raising in a dramatic effect.

I rolled my eyes, sometimes your best friend can be such a ham. I turned back to SB and placed my hand on his arm, "its fine, we'll just have to train harder until we can face Ra's Al Ghul."

Superboy's eyes softened from a scowl in Wally's direction to a softened grateful look in my direction. I heard Wally huff behind me, followed by a slap, no doubt from Artemis too Wally.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Batman looking from Wally and SB, and back again. Finally, his masked eyes settled on me, "team, you have your mission, go."

~0~

"We're here," Ms. M's words snapped me out of my thoughts.

I looked out to see the forest of Edo, Japan.

The dense and dark greenery covered most of my view, but hidden in the middle of the forest lies the Warehouse that the Assassins of The Shadows where predicted to strike next.

Kaldur turned to Ms. M, "link us up."

I smiled, at least if I have to go out and recon alone, I won't really be alone out there.

Meg'han nodded and bowed her head. When she raised it back up again a second later, her eyes glowed green. "Link established."

"Good. This mission requires stealth which is why Ms. Martian, Artemis, Robin, and I will go in first. If we run into any trouble, we will call on you two."

Wally eyes widened. "Whoa, whoa, you're leaving me with SB? He may be a walking wrecking ball, but I can be sneaky too." He whined while eyeing SB suspiciously.

Superboy narrowed his eyes at Wall at that statement.

"That may be", he smirked, "but at least I can keep quiet, you on the other hand…" He looked Wally up and down, then settled on Wally's red face, one of his eyebrows raised in a mocking position. "Are a walking bullhorn."

A chuckle escaped me before I could contain it. I looked up to Wally's surprised face to Supes triumphant one. I looked apologetically at Wally, "Come on dude, you know it's true."

Artemis snorted in the background, one look at Wally's face and I understood why.

"Not to throw you under the bus Wally, but you can be very loud." Meg'han stated, a sympathetic look etched across her face.

"I am not!" he screamed in their minds. Everyone winced.

"Umm, KF I think you should sit this one out," I said out loud, softening my voice, Wally opened his mouth to argue. I raised my hands to hold Wally, "KF listen to me, we only need a few people for this mission, to many will ruin it. Just, please say here. Huh?"

Wally's face crumpled, he looked down to the ground. Staring at it a while, he looked up and nodded his head in my direction.

Artemis snorted from the background. Again.

I turned to Kaldur, "let's go."

~0~

I dropped from the tree to behind the warehouse. Landing on my hands and knees, then I scoped the back of Warehouse A, with a turn of my head.

"I've landed" I said in the link. I double checked.

"Alright coast is clear here, nothing but trees and bushes around me." I checked in. Of course there could always be someone in the said bushes.

Creeping towards a window on the far right corner of the warehouse I craned my head to look inside.

Rustle.

Before I could look over the window to see what was inside, I stopped.

Rustle.

Someone was here!

~0~

0v0… huh, was better in my head, but not too shabby, I hope.

Oh, and don't expect me to censor language from now on.

MERCI~
