Robin sat at the Jumper Bar, at the far side of town, as far away T-Tower as he could get. His team was barely holding together, especially at the disappearance of some members.

His whole life came crashing down in the matter of minutes. *Snap* Just like that three walls crashed in around him, leaving him to scurry out the crumpled door.

Robin sat, head in hands, at the bar. He was too young to get anything worth being there for not that there was much. The only reason he was there at all is because the run-down bar had little to no customers, which he liked. He was there to grieve, and silence was necessary for such a process to take place. He thought of how he had built his life, and how it could've crashed down at anytime. He always kept three sections of his life very far apart, because if they were to tumble and fall onto the same place, everything would unravel into one, big, mess.

Like it had.

The sections were simple enough to separate. His Titans business, his personal life, and his personal matters. The parts of his life would be simple enough to separate in time, at least.

But hell, his personal life was part of Titan business! Starfire was his everything and she was a Titan herself! That was just the first step into becoming a failed attempt of order.

He knew he really screwed up when Beast Boy yelled at the mayor.

...

"SO I'M JUST A PROBLEM?!" I couldn't help but yell. The mayor wasn't getting away with his little outburst. His bellow echoed off of the city's buildings, catching anyone in the area by surprise. The retreating city folk gathered around again, hungry for gossip.

"Yes, in fact, you are." The mayor said haughtily, despite Robin's feeble attempts to stop him.


It all went downhill from there.

Some of you may be confused, but that's because you don't know my personal matters. Well, my "personal" matters won't be so personal soon, so it may as well come from me than from the grapevine that was most likely lacking important facts and details.

Robin sighed and lifted his head, revisiting the day he made that stupid agreement. After every detail had passed through his mind he shuddered the memory away.

May as well start.

...

Jump City wasn't exactly the first city that had taken the Titans in. Actually, it was close to the last in the area Robin would've preferred to live in and protect. Governors and Mayors were catching on to the fact that having superheroes in the town or city only attracted bad villains. Take Slade for instance. If the Titans would've made their home somewhere other than Jump City, then that's where Slade would've shown up. Petty thieves and such were dealt with easily by the police or possible patrols the city made. There was no need for excess crime here, in Jump.

But the mayor was a greedy man, made mayor only by family ties. His actual name was Dr. Jemequins. (Jem-e-qua- ins) But everyone referred to him as "Mayor" because nobody wanted to be bothered to say Jemequins.


"Dr. Jemequins! Please! We need a city in this area and Jump is one of our last options!" Robin begged while following the Jump City mayor to his office. The Jump City Service Centre was huge for no apparent reason. Expensive polished paneling covered acres of floor, but the mayor mindlessly stomped on it, frustrated. Robin was on his heels, pleading.

"Oh, so this was your last option?" The mayor haughtily backfired, causing Robin to mentally face palm at his own mistake.

"No, sir, it's just that-"

"All of the good cities were taken and now you're here and desperate!" The mayor snapped, unlocking his office and marching in with Robin behind him. He sat at his desk and pinched his nose, quite obviously irritated. His desk could've sparkled at the lack of mess. Probably because the secretaries did whatever work was necessary here.

"As I've said, Robin, we don't need any trouble here! We are perfectly fine!" The mayor exclaimed.

"Says you.." The leader muttered, looking at the bored civilians. "You need some action here." The stoic leader faced the huge window, an idea brewing in his head. The window may not have been there and he wouldn't have noticed because it's so clean and clear. "After all, you don't want to be the world's most boring mayor."

Dr. Jemequins' face lifted at that. I could've sworn his mustache twitched in anger. Good, the leader thought, I've hit a soft spot.

The mayor had joined Robin at the window, gazing at his city and the civilians that inhabit it. Most of them just stat around, not bothering to check their phones for any new drama. There were small groups of people chattering quietly, leaving an eerily silence surrounding the city.

"I mean, I may not be a fully developed team, but people will still value my opinion, Ya know, Batman's my mentor.." I trailed off. The mayor turned to me with narrowed eyes.

"Are you doing what I'm inferring?!" The mayor's eyes widened when he saw the look in the leader's eyes. Determination, desperation, and a hint of guilt. The mayor's eyes gazed out the window then back to the leader. He sat down at his clean desk and motioned for Robin to sit down as well. A friendly smile lit up his face.

"Let's talk business."


The deal was rather simple.

If Robin and the rest of the Titans effectively handled crime here, and kept the gossip going, then they could stay. A T-Tower was also to be built int their honor. And Robin made it clear it was not to be an embarrassment. He actually wanted the walls to be made out of the very same window Dr. J had in his over sized office.

On the mayor's side, he was to have complete control of the tasks they did. Of course the Titans fought crime, but nothing was to be destroyed or taken for grantid because the mayor had to pay for it.

The circumstances worked well except for one problem.

Robin's opinion didn't exactly have as big an impact as he claimed it to be. Apprentice to a famous hero or not, he was an amateur who didn't even have a full team or city to protect yet, so people could care a less what he thought. Well, at least the actual big shot heroes, and that's what really mattered.

Eventually the mayor found this out, and, figuring he's spent too much money on the Titans, he decided to let them stay.

Under circumstances.

Dr. J was well aware of Beast Boy's arrival and can't stand the thought of such a mutant honoring his city. He thought/thinks that something that turns itself into things we eat, kill, and think of as pests should never have any popularity, especially the positive kind. And he hated his skin and hair, how it was so different. The mayor thought of Beast Boy as a freak and nothing more or less. It made him sick to his stomach to think the "changeling" has more fan-girls than him.

But Robin refused to kick out Beast Boy for something as petty as jealousy. It was ridiculous.

So, instead of that consequence, the mayor simply set up a three strike program. Robin found himself going on "missions" to neighboring cities and towns more often to "convince" them to do things the mayor wanted.

And Robin only yelled at Beast Boy so much because he wasn't actually "endangering others" he was destroying buildings and getting Robin more strikes. When Beast Boy destroyed the Game Stop video game store he caused the third and last strike, so Robin was going to be extra nice to the mayor in hopes he would get another chance. He intended to tell the rest of the team of this predicament before the third strike, but he wasn't expecting it to happen with a small situation with Control Freak.

And Robin's version of "being extra nice" included not screaming at him to defend Beast Boy. No matter how much he wanted to, this deal with the mayor affected the whole team.

The fact that Dr. J's least favorite Titan just happened to be the third strike was just a coincidence, but I guess it caused the mayor to go a little off-the-walls when yelling at him.

Robin sighed as he sipped at his glass of water at the empty bar.

I should've stopped this before it got this out of hand. The fearless leader said, quite fearfully.

And now I have no Titans, personal life, or deal with the dumb mayor!

Robin chucked his glass across the room with all his might. It crashed into a somewhat expensive looking framed art canvas and caused that to fall and rip.

The employee looked at the canvas to Robin, and back again, trying to figure out with his slow brain what happened. You could've practically seen a light bulb flicker to life above his head when he registered what occurred.

"Uhmm... Yous gonest have to pay for dat." The hillbilly pointed to the ripped canvas with a meaty finger. he continued to dry the dirty mugs and glasses with an even dirtier rag.

Robin growled before flinging a twenty at the counter and storming out.


I think I like the font in the middle like that. What do you think, loves?

Hopefully this excuses Robin's actions and any Robin lover out there doesn't hate me quite as much.

If you have any questions or anything about the deal, PM me or review. I just put that chapter together, so if you do it's obviously me at fault, not you. :)

Please review, I love hearing your feedback!

Oh, and I'm really sorry to disappoint any of you who were expecting the chapter to focus on Beast Boy and Raven. I was originally going to focus on them, but I decided to go ahead and clear Robin's name before someone hunts me down. :)

Don't worry, though, the next chapter is written I just need to type and edit it, so it will be up shortly.

And a major thanks to you all! I managed to get over 10 favorites/follows and that's amazing! I seriously am in love with you, darlings! :')

See you for the next chapter, loves!
