I sat by the window, thinking about how when I was little, I used to draw pictures on my window. But my mom used to get angry at me because the next day when the rain was gone, the pictures remained as smudges on her clean windows.

But that wasn't the only thing that faded. His parents died years ago due to a trapeze act disaster.

…the tear of the ropes…

…the elevation of my parents decreasing every inch before they hit the floor…

…the cries of the citizens…

...could not drown out mine.

But, even to this day, my parents are the pictures on my windows, that faded away…and yet… their remains still here.

I took a deep breath on the window and I began to draw a quick doodle. I sighed when I realized that it wasn't the same anymore. Life was so much better when my parents were around. My parents and I were great acrobats, I had many friends, and I had no responsibilities. Back when I was my own person and was not known as the pathetic Robin.

Even though it sounds funny, I considered myself to be a hero…

…I've been through so much…

…I want to save the day…

…maybe with someone other than Bruce by my side…

…I love to make people feel better…

…to make them oblivious to the terrible pain that almost consumed me into the shadows…

…I bet Richard could do it…

Richard's my real name, but over the years, Robin was a better name to my classmates because I was a geek.

Richard was like the exact opposite of me. He wasn't a lanky, modern, boring guy; he was a strong, interesting, handsome man. His is the face I wear, but I would never let him control me…

…but I wish he did.

"Robin, you've been neglecting your work lately," Bruce said sternly, throwing down a stack of papers that have yet to be completed. Robin groaned and let his head sink. One of Bruce's many rules broken again. Robin felt that Bruce implied too many rules in the house:

Keep room clean, avoid food in room.

Don't talk to strangers, especially at night.

Homework is never finished. You should study for every possible exam, test, review, and planned and unplanned pop quiz that may or never occur tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year, because what matters is the knowledge gained, and you can never have too much knowledge.

Stay away from drugs, any kind, crank, heroin, cigarettes, cocaine, alcohol and anything for that matter.

Don't reveal your innermost secrets to the world or to anyone, for they may betray you and use that information against you, causing you to go insane, mentally and physically.

Have your own expectations in life, because nothing is perfect, and you have to realize that anything could happen to you when you let your guard down.

Do not eat any sweets after 9:00 PM.

Keep up on all work notes, even the work I may give you.

And the last rule 9. DO NOT FALL IN LOVE!

Robin rolled his eyes every time Bruce points out he broke one of his many rules…which happens constantly…but not intentionally…

Bruce looked at him trying to find the answer from Robin's facial expressions.

"…Well?" Bruce stated as he slid the papers across the coffee table to Robin, while Bruce sat down on the sofa adjacent to Robin.

Robin sighed and picked up some of the sheets of paper:

Two Face: Criminal #- 3285964-2

Crimes Committed: 1. Killing of the Grayson Parents

Files:

And that is what most of the other criminal files were like. Bruce crossed his arms and looked at the boy. "Well?" Bruce said again, more urgently.

Robin sighed and slid the paperwork back to Bruce. "Sorry, I've just had a lot on my mind, that's all," Robin said calmly and went back to drawing doodles. Bruce sat down next to him, "Anything you can talk about?"

Robin shook his head, "No." He was getting annoyed of Bruce's lectures and teachings. He knew what was right and what was wrong

"Listen, son, I know it's hard for you, but you have to know that their are more important things--,"

"MY PARENTS ARE DEAD! WHATS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT!?" Robin screamed, throwing his arms up in the air.

"Robin," Bruce said gently, "…it's been 9 years. I thought that-,"

"Well Bruce, I can't always be the good student Robin!" Robin said as his eyes cast away, "I'm not sure if I want it anymore."

Bruce looked at him puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I want to go out and see what I couldn't! I've locked myself away so long! I want to see what I can do by myself, I want to see what the real world is like, I want to find someone that loves m-," Robin stopped short and his eyes widened.

Bruce's eyes widened as well. "Robin, I-,"

"I need to go," Robin said, getting up from the sofa and storming past Bruce. Bruce shook his head.

"Robin, you're being very irresponsible," Bruce said, looking at Robin. Robin grabbed his jacket and headed toward the door.

Robin took a deep breath and looked at Bruce. "I'll be back, but…," Robin turned the door knob leading outside into the streets of Gotham, "…but I'm not sure when." So Robin walked out and took another deep breaths.

He decided he was going to walk around a bit, see what or who he could find…

…and save them somehow…

…some way.
