Short, but I think it turned out very well.

Chapter 1

Little Brother; I Remember When You First Came Home

It was his first mission under his new persona and Nightwing had just returned to the Batcave after a hard mission with the team. He was exhausted, and beat up; yet the 16 year old walked into the main part of the cave, he found something shocking. There was a boy about 13 years old tied to a chair and gagged.

"I see you've found our guest, Nightwing." A familiar voice said, and it was followed by a familiar shadow.

"Batman, what in the world is going on, so you're just kidnapping kids now." Nightwing said, a bit of confusion in his voice.

"No, he's a thief." Batman said as Nightwing quickly headed to him, and removed the gag.

"The Bat is crazy, so what if I was stealing the tires off his car, I needed the money." The boy said.

"You were jacking the tires from the Batmobile, dang kid, you've got guts." Nightwing stated. "So what's your name?"

"Like I'd tell you." The boy remarked, turning his face away from the teenage hero.

"Come on, I'm trying to help you." Nightwing whispered so only the boy could hear him.

"Alright, my name is Jason Todd." Jason said, figuring the teen was okay.

"Well, Jason; I do have to give you credit. You've got guts stealing the Batmobile's tires." Nightwing said.

"I live on the streets, so I have to get money where I can, and when I saw the car, and what the tires were made of, I just took the opportunity." Jason said, his hands still tied around the back of the chair.

Batman was watching this, and a plan started to form in his mind, but he wanted Nightwing to finish up.

"There have to be other ways, what about your parents?" Nightwing questioned.

"They're dead, it's just me, and I get along just fine." Jason said, feeling proud of how he's been living.

"You're just a kid; you can't be on the streets so young." Nightwing said, surprised at Jason.

"He won't be on the streets anymore." Batman said, removing his cowl.

"Are you serious?" Nightwing asked, and only received a nod from the Dark Knight.

Nightwing followed suit from his mentor and removed his mask. Jason was surprised when the now exposed Batman walked behind the chair and untied the 13 year old's wrists. Jason was in shock as he stood up and rubbed his wrists.

The two heroes headed off on their own to talk.

"Bruce, are you sure about this, I mean, he is a thief, he could steal everything in the manor." Dick said, worried for his home.

"He needs a place, and we have plenty of room, if he tries anything, then he's going to juvey." Bruce said. "Besides, Dick, I think you need a sibling in the manor."

"So, you guys are Dick and Bruce, that's nice to know." Jason said, and with that, the two turned around.

The sight that they caught was a surprise; while they were talking, Jason pulled out Dick's old Robin costume and put it on. Dick was about ready to tackle him when Batman grabbed his shoulder.

"Maybe this is fate, Dick." Bruce said as he walked up to Jason.

Dick looked at his mentor; then thought about what he was saying, and maybe he was right.

"Jason; Dick has been helping his covert ops team more than usual these days, how about you come live with us, and become my partner here in Gotham." Bruce said.

"You'd seriously want a street urchin like me to be your partner?" Jason said still holding the Robin mask in his hand.

"You need a change in your life, and I think fighting crime, along with a loving family." Bruce said.

"I always wanted a brother, what do you say Jay?" Dick asked, a smile on his face.

"How about it?" Bruce asked.

"Alright, but Dickey, don't think I'll go easy on you as your brother." Jason said, accepting Bruce's offer for a new life.

"With training, don't expected me to go easy, and you can forget it with Bruce." Dick said as he walked up to his new brother and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"I can handle anything you two can dish out." Jason said, finally securing the mask to his face.

"Once I see that you are worthy of it, you can officially be called ROBIN." Dick said, smiling wide.

So, the Wayne family was growing even more, and now, once earned, the title of Robin would be passed down to a new person, and it's legacy would stay alive.
