Robin was sitting on the couch watching static with Superboy and thinking about his family. His dead family. He knew that Bruce was trying his hardest but he would never be able to fill the hole that his parents deaths had left. But maybe, just maybe, batman and his friends could fill it together. Slowly and cautiously, Robin allowed his mind to wander down that path. He could have a family again. Bruce or batman would be his dad. Artemis and M'gann would be sisters and Wally, SB, and Aqualad would be his older brothers. He would be truly happy. His brain briefly noted that Superboy was looking at him.

Robin had had ghost of a smile on his lips that, for some reason, looked so much more real than any of his other smiles.

"Where the hell did that yellow monstrosity go!" She yelled suoerboy simply pointed towards the training room and they both watched as she took off.

He would have to settle for having friends. The smile came back. He could still have really good friends that would never leave him and even if he couldn't have that family, he could still dream right
