Thanks for the positive reviews! I hope you like this one! Tim is around 15 and living at Wayne Manor. I may or may not make the MPD a story, but I'll do more oneshots with it.

Bruce's POV
Tim had been acting weird all day, but I assumed it might be because of his fever. Thankfully, it wasn't severe, but enough that I decided to stay home with him that night. Right now, I looked across the dinner table to see Tim scratching at his back. "Tim, stop scratching! You'll only make it worse."
Tim flinched and looked at me with a guilty expression. Tim's voice was scratcy and rough "Sorry Bruce, but it really itches! Just two spots on my back." He broke into deep, harsh coughs that sounded like they came from his lungs.
"Me and little D are gonna head out, B." Dick said, as he and Damian stood up and began walking toward the batcave.
"Okay, be careful and call if you need help!" I yelled after them. "Now how about you go up and change for bed and I'll rub some cortizone on the spots that itch."
"Okay." Tim said, slowly getting up. A grimance of pain flitted across his face as he rolled his shoulders and began to walk upstairs. "Thanks for dinner Alfred."
"Not needed Master Timothy, but it is much appreciated." Alfred responded. After Tim went upstairs, Alfred turned to me and said "Take care of him Master Bruce. I do not recall a sickness like this and his cough seems quite awful."
"I will Alfred, I will." I walked up to change into sweatpants and a tee shirt before going to Tim's room. Tim was laying on his stomach, two large, blood red spots on his back.

Tim's POV
My back has been bothering me all day. I woke up with a slight fever and horrible cough. It felt like my lungs were changing or something. My back was sorerer than after Bruce gave us a hard training day and two spots on my shoulder blades itched very bad. It was odd. I went up and changed into my pijama pants then flopped on my bed. I winced as I scratched at my back again. The itching was beginning to turn into pain, but it still itched.
I heard Bruce walk in and gasp.
"What?" I asked, seeing his shocked expression.
"The two spots on your back are blood red!" Bruce said.
"What?!" The pain in my back suddenly increased. "Ahhhhhh!" I arched my back, trying to stop the pain.
"Tim!" I heard B yell.
The pain increased. It felt like someone had stabbed my shoulder blades then grated the flesh on the inside. Then, I passed out.

Bruce's POV
Tim began screaming in pain and arching his back. "Ahhhh!"
"Tim! Tim! What's wrong?!" I yelled as he kept screaming. The skin broke at the two red spots and two stumps began to grow. I grabbed Tim's hand, hoping it would be over soon.

That Morning
The stumps were finally wings and Tim was no longer whimpering in pain. His wings went to his knees and up alost to the top of his head. They were pure white and strong looking. Suddenly, part of his face began to glow and a long glowing spot appeared in his hand. Once the bright glow stopped, the glowing on his face revealed a Thanagarian war mask while the glowing in his hand revealed a mace.
A few minutes later he began to stir. "Tim?"
"B-Bruce?" Tim grogily said, lifting his head to look at me.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"Y-yeah. I think so…" He shifted onto his back before I could stop him and quickly sat up "Ow! What the hell?! Bruce!" He twisted and saw his wings. He began to panic and put his head in his palms which started a whole new wave of panic. "B, I can't get this mask off!" He kept trying to pull it off before, finally, he jumped up and walked over to his mirror. "Why do I look like a Thanagarian warrior?" he asked.
"I don't know…" I responded.
I saw his eyes, which were almost covered by the mask flit to me as he said "That's the scariest thing I've ever heard…" The mace that had been sitting on the bed suddenly floated up and went to him, hitting his arm as it rested in front of him. "Ow! What the hell?!" Tim turned and gave me a pitiful look.
"How about we go to Mount Justice and I'll call Hawkgirl to see if she can help?" He looked a bit more hopeful once I said that.
"Okay. I'll leave the mace…." He said, grabbing the mace and putting it in a small safe he had in his room for… actually, I don't know what its for. He came over and I put my arm around his shoulders as we went to the batcave.

At the Mountain
Tim and I stepped through the zeta beam and the computer announced us "Batman B01, Robin B04"
The team came into the room as I said "Computer, call Hawkgirl."
"Calling Hawkgirl"
Tim started shifting as the team was all looking at him. "Stop staring." I said and they all immediately, and akwardly, looked away from him. Tim flashed me a grateful smile.
"Hawkgirl here. What's the problem, Batman?"
"Robin-" Was all I was able to get out before Tim's mace broke through the wall and hit Tim into view of the camera where he fell.
"Ow! I left it in a fricking safe in Gotham! I hate this mace!" Tim stood up in view of the camera.
"Oh my God… You have wings…"
"No kidding! They grew in last night! And I can't leave this mace anywhere and I can't get this mask off!" He tried to pull it off again.
"Quav dev. I'm on my way." She hung up.
"Incoming call: batcave." The computer stated.
"Accept call." I said.
Nightwing came onto the screen with Damian as his version of Robin on the screen too. "B, a mace just broke through our house!"
"Nightwing, calm down. It's-"
"Oh my God! Robin has wings?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Oh great, he's felling hurt.
"They just grew in last night and the mace keeps following me and I can't get this mask off! What are you freaking out about?!" Tim was violently shaking and obviously stressed. I guess I need to step in…
"Calm down both of you! Nightwing, can't you see he is freaked out enough without you freaking out too?" He looked a bit guilty at that. "Now, Robin," I turned to Tim, put my hands on his shoulders, and crouched down a bit so I was at his level. "Calm. Down. You're fine, you're safe. Hawkgirl is on her way and she'll know what to do. Everything will be fine, okay?" Tim nodded, as his shaking began to slow down.
"I'm on my way." Nightwing said, hanging up.
"Announcing: Hawkgirl H02" The computer announced. Hawkgirl walked over to Tim and said "Okay, definitely a Thanagarian war mask. Give me your hands." Tim did so. "Okay, you feel these latches?" Tim nodded. "Unlatch them." He moved his hands, closed his eyes, and pulled the mask away. Tim then put on the sunglasses he had put in his pocket.
"And what about the mace? Any way I can get it to stop following me?" Tim asked.
"Nope. You have to keep it clsoe, but see how this twists?" Tim nodded. "That can turn it invisible." Tim twisted it and the mace turned invisible. "Now, to hide the wings, I've found that using a long Ace bandage to tie my wings to my back hides them the best."
"O-Okay…" Tim stuttered.
"Recognizing Nightwing B02" Oh no.
"Robin!" Dick ran in and hugged Tim, including his wings.
"Ow! Not so tight 'Wing! You're hurting my wings!" Tim said, struggling as much as he could in Dick's strong hug.
"Sorry, sorry. Oh my God, my little brother has wings…" He let go and turned to Hawkgirl. "So, when are you teaching him to fly?"
Tim froze. "When he gets more used to the wings and feels comfortable with them." She replied.
"Oh no…" Tim said, looking down. He never told anyone but me before, but: he doesn't like heights.
