Summary: Ben Tennyson thinks Dick Grayson needs to grow a backbone, Dick doesn't want to. Ben thinks Robin is a sarcastic pain in the ass, Robin laughs in Ben's face. Basically Robin/Dick is trying to get along with his newfound older brother.

Author's Note: Ben and Dick are both thirteen (Ben) and twelve (Dick) in this Fanfic and have just met (Set during NXT Generation fanfic) Ben doesn't know that Dick Grayson is Robin. Dick knows that Ben is a superhero as well. Ben is "related" to Dick through a process that can be found on my profile (Considering I'm not going to explain the whole process right now). Long story short, basically a third parent genes 7, 14, 21`, 28, etc. in Sami Parker's DNA that links to Bruce Wayne. Ben is Sami's biological brother. Dick is Sami's adopted brother. Ben is older than Dick by a slim year. (Ben born before new year, Dick born after new year.)

p.s. Kevin Levin is the son of Eddie Brock (Venom) as Well and like Ben (who I put as Tennyson/Parker so you know) Kevin's last name will be put as Levin/Brock.

Middleton, Middleton High School, 8:45 am….

The sound of students moving passed him made Dick Grayson very nervous. He had just been transferred over to Middleton from Gotham Academy and was already having a panic attack. He was also starting his first day of eighth grade, though the lady at the front desk said he really should be in seventh grade. He felt like he didn't belong and the school day didn't start for another fifteen minutes! He loosened the collar of his old school uniform, feeling quite awkward, considering he was the only one wearing a school uniform. A number of soccer jocks passed by, being sure to hit him along the way. One of the bigger ones knocked him down, making him drop and scatter his books all over the floor. The raven-haired boy cursed under his breath and dropped down to pick up his things,

"Well, well, well, looks like we got ourselves some new meat." a gruff voice said above him.

Dick paused and looked up at the three older boys above him. One looked kind of greasy with long black hair and torn black and gray clothes. The boy to his left had short black hair with a blue skull t-shirt and black shorts, and the boy to the right had curly red hair, glasses, a green shirt with a yellow over top and jeans. Dick turned away from them and continued to pick up his books, only to have the long-haired boy knock the books out of the younger's hands. Dick tried to ignore them, but the red-head grabbed him by the back of the dress coat and yank him backward,

"Looks like he's trying to give us the silent treatment, Kev." the short haired raven said.

"Yeah, silent treatment." the red-head said.

"Shut up, JT." the short-haired boy said.

"Sorry, Cash." the red-head, or JT, said.

Dick dusted himself off and went over to his books. JT, Cash, and Kevin were their names? Good, now he could report them to the principal by name. Kevin, the taller boy, stomped on Dick's books, preventing the younger boy from picking up his textbooks,

"Hey, you're that kid from that circus troupe. What was it?" Kevin asked.

"He looks like that acrobat from the Flying Graysons! You should show us a trick, Circus Boy." Cash said.

"Yeah, show us a few tricks, Flips." JT said, shoving Dick back on to the floor. They started laughing, well, Cash and JT did, Kevin just stayed silent. He hadn't realized where he had seen the younger boy, but the thought dawned on him that the younger was like him, 'cept he wasn't adopted by some rich dude. And the kid was probably completely human. JT and Cash had picked up Dick's textbooks and were throwing them back and forth, being sure to throw them out of Dick's reach,

"You're so mature!" Dick protested, desperately reaching for his book.

Cash was holding it over both their heads, laughing in the other's face. Before he could throw the book back to JT, the textbook was yanked out of his hand. A strong enough yank that forced Cash backward,

"Hey! What gives!" Cash hollered, looking back at the person who took the book out of his hand,

"Aren't you three a little old for bullying kids smaller than you?" a mocking voice asked. Cash looked up and glared up at the green eyed hero,

"Why don't you mind your own business, Tennyson? Or Parker, or-WHATEVER!" Cash hollered, getting back to his feet. JT ran over to his best friend's side.

Dick looked up at "Tennyson" (or was it "Parker"?). Dick kind of winced when he saw that the new person wore a leather man's jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. The patches indicated that the boy was number ten on the soccer team. He wore green cargo pants and black and white worn-out sneakers. The kid was a brunette with a white streak through the middle of his hair and a weird looking watch on his left wrist. The brunette glanced over at him for a second before glaring back at Cash and JT,

"It's kind of rude to not answer someone's question, but I kind of expect that type of crap from you and your boyfriends, Cash." Tennyson replied.

"Fuck off, Tennyson!" JT hollered.

"Why don't you come over here and make me!" Tennyson hollered back.

Cash growled and walked away with JT at his heels. Kevin didn't move, staring down the green eyed boy. Dick looked between the two, silently hoping that the brunette would drop his textbook, but the person didn't. Kevin smirked and crossed his arms over his chest,

"If you think you can intimidate me like you did to those twits, then you're surely wrong, Parker." Kevin spat.

"Whatever you say, Brock." Tennyson snapped back.

Kevin chuckled, "Fuck you, Benji." he said before walking off as well, not really in the mood for this crap anymore. As Kevin passed Dick, he winked at the younger and smiled,

"See ya round, Dickie." Kev said before leaving.

Dick shuddered. That kid gave him the creeps. Looking back up, he saw that Tennyson, was walking over to him. The brunette handed the acrobat the textbook back with a smile. Dick returned the smile and shyly took the textbook. He muttered a quiet "thanks". The older nodded before gathering the other books for the black-haired kid. After he grabbed up the books, Dick was helped on to his feet,

"You alright?" Tennyson asked. Dick nodded took back his books. Once they were straightened out, Tennyson held out a hand to Dick,

"I'm Benjamin Tennyson/Parker, but my friends call me Ben, Benji, or Benny. Well, my older sister calls me Benny. And only my teammates call me Benji or Lil' Parker. You can call me Ben." Ben explained.

Dick shook the offered hand, "I'm Richard Grayson/Wayne, but everyone usually calls me Dick, or Dickie. I prefer Dick though." Dick said.

"Cool, Dick. Nice to meet you. First day here?" Ben asked.

Dick nodded, "Yeah. Just starting eighth grade. Weird right?"

Ben gave him a confused look, "Weird how?"

"Well, I'm twelve and I'm starting eighth grade. A lot of people find that weird. At my old school, I got pushed up to ninth grade. Here, they thought it would be suitable for me to start seventh grade, but my dad thought it would be better for me to start eighth grade." Dick explained shyly.

Ben shrugged, "So you're a smarty that got pushed up. I don't see why that's weird. Besides, you're going to be in my grade. Kind of neat actually. Mind if I see your schedule?"

Dick shook his head and handed his schedule to Ben. The brunette looked over the schedule and nodded affirmatively. He handed the paper back to the shorter boy,

"Cool. We have Homeroom, Lunch, Gym, English, History and Study Hall together. We also have the same Eleventh Grade Math and Science classes. Now we can both make the Eleventh Graders feel stupid. Now that I look at it, we have the same exact schedule in the same rooms. Cool, now we could hangout with each other the whole school day. You going to try-out for a sport or club?" Ben asked. Dick nodded,

"Maybe. I might do Chess or Mathletes." he said.

Ben nodded, "Nice. If you plan on trying out for Boys Soccer, I'll definitely vote for you. Maybe get my cousin and friend to vote for you too."

"Vote for me? What's your position?" Dick asked. Ben smiled and playfully flexed his muscles, making Dick laugh,

"I don't mean to brag but, I'm the team's awesome goalie and I'm one of the Captains. I'm also the youngest player on the team. They didn't have enough eighth or ninth graders for the Junior Varsity, so I got pushed up with the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth graders. Lucky for me, I'm a good enough goalie." Ben said.

"That's so awesome!" Dick said out loud.

The bell rang, making both boys look down the hall where everyone was walking in from the outside. Ben linked his arm with Dick's and guided him to First Period English class. Well, today wasn't so bad. Dick's morning had gone from bad to very good. He had already made a new friend who had the same schedule as he did. Now said friend offered to put in a good word for him for the soccer team. Dick just hoped he was good enough for the team.

Middleton High School, 12:15 pm (Lunch) Fifth period….

Dick hummed as he walked to his locker and put his textbooks away. So far, his day had been going very well for him. He and Ben were joking around in most of their classes since the teachers had put their seats near each other. Even when the seats were near each other, they still joked around, curtsy of Ben giving Dick his cell number. Heck, even Dick didn't feel that uncomfortable anymore. Ben introduced Dick to his friends Jim and Tim Possible, Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, Hailey Long, Creepie Barrette, Ben's cousin Jade Chan, and Ben's girlfriend Danielle Fenton.

Danni, Hailey and Jade insisted that they helped him fix his outfit in Study Hall by rolling up his sleeves, unbuttoned his shirt so it wasn't directly button to his throat but buttoned up to just under his collarbone, loosening the tie so it merely hung around his neck, and messing up his hair so it wasn't gelled back anymore. Hailey had somehow turned his black dress jacket into a quite fashionable vest. Almost like she did it by magic. Nonetheless, Dick didn't look nearly as dorky as he had earlier. Now the raven-haired boy was slightly more excited for Lunch.

As he put the notebooks he didn't need back, a hard smack on his shoulder caused him to turn around. Thinking it was Kevin, JT, or Cash, he instinctively threw a fist that was caught by a slightly larger hand,

"Whoa, where's the fire?" a voice called. Dick looked up at the taller person and went wide eyed,

"No way." Dick whispered.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" the taller brunette asked.

"You're…..you're Justin Bieber!" Dick called out in surprise. Bieber smiled and shrugged,

"Yup, the one and only. Heard you've been hanging round my little cous. He told me via text message that he was in a good mood due to his new little friend. Kudos by the way for surviving the first half of the day." Justin said with a half wave.

"Thanks, I think. How did you know where my locker was?" Dick asked.

Justin smiled and took out his phone, "I didn't know. Your locker's two down from Benny-Boy's. I usually wait for him and walk down with him to lunch." the older brunette explained. Dick nodded his head. There was a two second silence between them before Justin decided it was too quiet and cleared his throat,

"You going to try out for the Varsity Soccer Team, we could always use more players." Justin asked, texting Ben at the same time.

"I dunno. I'm not really the Soccer Star. I'm more of a Mathlete or Acrobatics." Dick said with a shrug,

"Mathlete? Oh, c'mon! At least give Soccer a shot! You look like a Defense Player. Or Ben and I could at least help you get on the Cheer Team. We know the Captain." Justin suggested.

"No, thank you though. I kind of got bullied at my other school. I don't want to be made fun of for being the only guy on the cheer team." Dick explained as politely as he could. Justin just chuckled, telling the younger boy that the people that would be making fun of him would secretly be jealous of him because the younger would be closer to the ladies. Dick laughed as well, telling Justin that he highly doubted that. Ben arrived at his locker minutes later, happy to see that his cousin and new friend were getting along quite swimmingly. After exchanging more happy conversation, the trio headed off to lunch, already discussing plans for after school activity after soccer practice.
