I DO NOT OWN! HENCE WHY I AM HERE!
Bit of back ground, Tim is the current Gotham Robin. Dick is the Robin who started the Teen Titans because he needed space. Jason got beaten by the Joker, but Bruce and Dick managed to save him. He's alright now. Dick, Jason, Cass, Tim, Damian are all of Bruce's kids, and Barbra and Stephanie are close friends to the Wayne kids. Dick is 15, Jason is 12, Cass is 10, Tim is 9, Damian is 5
By the time Raven got to the living room Cyborg had hacked the phone, and Beast Boy and Starfire had found a cord to connect it to the TV. "Really you guys? Don't you think this a bit over the top?"
Cyborg shook his head. "There is no way we could all read off that phone, it's too small." He glanced at the screen to make sure they could see what the phone was showing. "Booya! What do we look at first?"
"Contacts." Raven said.
"No wait- text messages." Beast Boy countered.
"Perhaps we should the Contacts, then messages of text." Offered Star, who looked delighted when Cyborg nodded.
"Let's see we have 'Alfie' 'Aunt Diana' 'Babs' 'Dancing queen' 'Jay' 'Kitty Kyle' 'Lil D' 'Lucky you're a ginger' 'Nerd Arrow' 'Padre' 'Sass-andra' 'Timmy Boy' 'Uncle Clark' …... Who the heck are these people?"
"I would like to see what Robin and the Queen of Dancing say to each other!" Star said after re-reading the names. Raven glanced at the book she held. She hated herself for being so curious.
"Okay this is how this is going to work. I found a photo album, and I'm going to try to match the people in the pictures to the names. That way we have a clearer view on who is who, okay? And we are only going to read the last conversation, understand?" the other three nodded and Raven levitated and sat Indian style. "Let's start."
R: YOOO Steph!
DQ: HI!
R: I need you to check on Tim.
DQ: y
R: I don't think he's been sleeping. I saw him on the news with dad, and he looked dead on his feet.
DQ: how do I make him go to sleep, he won't listen to me.
R: Tell him you won't come over to play until he's caught up on sleep.
R: And make sure Alfred can hear you when you say it.
DQ: ok
DQ: when are you coming home?
DQ Dick?
DQ: did I say something wrong?
R: Sorry had a Villain and a power nap.
DQ: sooo?
R: Did Tim sleep?
DQ: Yes. Bruce and Alfred gave him a lecture on how much sleep a nine-year-old needs.
DQ: Alfred also told him that if he kept not sleeping he'd never get to try coffee.
R: LOL
DQ: when are you coming back?
DQ: Stop avoiding us.
DQ: Dick
DQ: DICK! ANSWER! ME!
DQ: please, we miss you.
R: at Christmas, and during our daily skypes.
R: I promise.
"Who is this 'Steph' whom he talks to?" Starfire asked.
Raven flipped the book opened and flicked through the pages. "Her real name is Stephanie." She showed them the picture of two children labeled 'Tim and Stephanie's playdate.'
"So, Tim's his little brother?" Beast Boy asked.
"One of them. From the multiple black haired blue-eyed kids in the pictures I'd said he has three or four brothers, one sister. As well as a father and grandfather. But I could be wrong." She frowned, looking back at what this Stephanie had called Robin. She flipped back to the picture of the girl and the wheel chair and the boy. It was labeled "Barbara and Dick." The girl was obviously Barbara, which meant…
So that's what he looked like under the mask.
"So, does that mean Robin's eyes are blue?" Star asked, unsure of the ins and outs of human genetics.
Raven looked back at the picture. Dick did have blue eyes. "More than likely." she said, trying to keep her voice even.
"Let's do 'Lucky you're a ginger'. They sound interesting." Cyborg hovered over it when Starfire said.
"No, let us do the Kitten named Kyle."
"You got to pick the last one." Beast Boy cried.
Starfire blinked as she thought of something. Then she screamed. "But what if it is Kitten!?"
Everyone looked at her.
"You mean, the crazy blonde girl who forced Robin to go to prom with her?" Cyborg asked in shock.
"Yes! For he had a picture of a small blonde girl with his brother on a date!"
Cyborg shook his head. "Playdate, Star. It means that two kids get to go to each other houses or to a park and get to play all day."
"Besides Kyle sounds like a boy name. And Raven said the blonde's name was Stephine." Beast Boy added.
"Can we not check, just to be sure?"
"Fine, but I get the next one." Beast Boy pouted.
KK: Are you coming home for Christmas?
R: Yep, you?
KK: I'll be there. Won't want to miss my kitten.
R: You know I have nothing against your nicknames for me, but every time I see that world I think of that creepy stalker girl.
KK: You're out of practice when it comes to dealing with fan girls.
R: she nearly strangled Starfire for telling her I wasn't fight her boyfriend for her.
KK: At least she doesn't know about Babs.
R: Ya.
R: Still don't know what I'm going to do about that.
KK: I know it's hard,
R: Selina?
R: Hello?
KK: A kind young man with heart torn between two beautiful redheads.
KK: fiery, passionate girls.
R: Har, give Selina her phone back.
KK: How'd you know?
R: -_-
KK: Sorry about that kitten. Harley managed to get my phone.
KK: Got to go love you.
The boy's looked at each other. And then they immediately stared scrolling up, scanning. Starfire looked confused. Raven flipped to the picture 'Bruce disagrees with Selina's fashion sense' Raven studied it. They gave the impression of either close friends or a couple. And she hadn't thought she'd seen any pictures of a mother, but perhaps-
She was pulled out of her thoughts when the boys stared sniggering.
R: I need help.
KK: What happened
R: I'm in a love triangle, and the two points don't know it.
KK: Explain
R: I like Barbara Gordon
R: I like Starfire
R: Both have given signs that they could like me
R: Neither know about the other
KK: A+ explanation
R: Thank you
KK: You're welcome
KK: What attracts you to them?
R: They're kind, try to be understanding, ready to help, not afraid to stand up for what's right, can be utterly terrifying
R: And they're both beautiful red heads
KK: Can't help but notice that the fact that they were beautiful was an afterthought.
R: Believe it or not some guys do care more about personality than looks.
R: Dad taught me what was important
R: Are you proud of me, Soon-to-be-Mrs.-Wayne?
KK: Yes
KK: That's never going to happen
R: Don't you love my dad
KK: Let's get back to your love life
R: Oh, you mean Bruce is never going to work up the never to propose?
KK: …yes.
KK: But back to you.
R: If it makes you feel better all the kids love you.
R: And are constantly telling Bruce to man up
KK: Even Damian?
R: Yep.
R: Me, Jay, Tim, Cass, Damian.
R: Stephanie
R: Barbara.
KK: Back to Barbara.
KK: And Starfire, was it?
R: Yes.
R: What do I do?
But before they could read any farther…
"What are you doing?!" Robin demanded angrily. The four teens whipped around. Robin was standing in the doorway, looking mad.
"Robin!"
"What are you doing?" They could practically see smoke coming out of his ears.
The angry teen stormed towards them. Snarling, he snatched the phone and photo album and stormed out. Everyone shared a look.
"So, who wants to try and explain this to him." Beast Boy asked, nervous.
Starfire turned towards Beast Boy, looking upset and angry.
"Everyone stop" Raven said, stopping the fight before it started. "Let's give him time to cool down. Come on, the groceries need to be put away."
"Can you believe them! Going through my stuff, reading my text, looking at my photos! It's… it's…. I can't even!" the boy flung himself onto his bed, where his laptop was running skype.
"It is very disgraceful." Damian said, sitting on Bruce's lap.
"It was wrong. I agree with that."
Tim's head could barely be seen over the table as he asked: "Is it bad enough for you to come home?"
Dick laughed. "I'll be home for Christmas."
Tim and Damian pouted. Jason, who had heard his brother laugh padded into the room.
"Hi Dickie-bird!"
"Hey Jay-bird. Dad, maybe you should move to one of the living rooms. It would be easier for all you guy to see." Bruce nodded and, setting down Damian, picked up the laptop.
On his side, Dick, who was mask-less, put on a pair of sunglasses. Beast Boy thought he could get in here without being noticed? Hardly.
Once everyone was settled, and Cass had joined, Dick smiled sneakily. "You guys want to see something funny?" They all nodded. Dick took his pillow and very careful raised it over his head.
Then he slammed it against the wall.
The wall gave a high-pitched scream. And a small green ant fell off the wall.
It transformed into a dog, then a fish, an app, a cow, and finally a bird.
Tim looked fascinated, Damian looked amused, Bruce and Cass were torn between amusement and annoyance, and Jason was flat out laughing.
"What the heck dude?" the bird yelled.
"What the heck indeed." Said Dick "What the heck gave you four the right to go through my phone?" He glanced at the door. "I know you three are there."
The door opened and Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire awkwardly shuffled into the room. Dick moved his laptop so it was in his lap, effectively keeping the other Titans from seeing the his family.
"How does he do it? The mass should be the same, so he shouldn't be able to fly. And when he turns into something bigger than a human he should be weak because the mass is stretched too thin. Hey Green Boy! How do you do it?" the middle son asked excitedly.
"He doesn't know. Sorry Tim, I've already tried to get him to tell me. And all I got out of it was that he isn't a honed batarang."
"We saw." Cass spoke softly, her voice still adjusting to being used. Jason snorted. Starfire slowly flew over to him.
"Robin, we would like to apologize for going through your things. It was wrong. Please forgive us."
The boy's lips were a thin line. He looked at his family, an unspoken question in the air.
Everyone, minus Damian, shrugged.
Damian shook his head.
Robin rolled his eyed, not that the Titans could see it from behind the glasses.
"What you did hurt me. A lot. And it could put others in danger. You…. hey Alfred." He waved to the butler who had appeared on the screen.
"Hello Master Richard, how are you?"
"My team stole my phone, hacked it, and went through all my texts and etcetera."
"So, they took a course from your brothers?"
All the Wayne's laughed. Alfred waited a minute, before continuing. "But on the bright side, now they can come over for Christmas."
The world seemed to freeze.
"No." was all Dick could get out.
"Oh, that's too bad. I already sent the invitation."
"It's November 13th! Why are you sending Christmas invitations out!" Damian demanded. "Thanksgiving is much closer!"
"They need to RSVP, and by the time they get it and RSVP it's be the 18th. And all the good Black Friday deals start then."
"Which makes no sense." Added Jason.
Dick groaned and rubbed his eyes under the sun glasses.
"I don't know. I don't feel comfortable with them at the house. And…. Alfred, why did you send an invitation? I told you they knew nothing about my other life."
The Titans glanced at each other. Had Robin forgot they existed, or at the very least, were standing right there?
"I figured that it would be a nice way to introduce them, as well as to make sure they're not bad influences."
"And how are they supposed to blend in?"
"Another reason to start planning now."
Before Dick could reply the alarm went off. Dick stood. "Call you back." He ends the call and traded his shades for his mask. "Titans go!"
So... how was this chapter? good? bad? let me know, so I can try to make them the best I can.
Robin likes both Barbra and Starfire, but that is not going to be focused on a lot. This is a story about family, friends, and laughter.(We're about to get to the good part ;P )
Thank for reading
