A/N: Were finally reaching the point where mysteries finally start up, EEEEEEEE!


A man wearing a suit and tie stood in an alleyway, his jet black hair blowing gently in the breeze of the midnight air. As he awaited his latest customers arrival, he passed the time by taking out his phone and looking at a few pictures of his beautiful blonde wife and his little girl, Mandy. Oh how he loved his family, but in order to protect them, he needed to stay away from them. Well, that's what came sometimes for a drug dealer. Suddenly, he noticed a pair of red eyes staring at him almost in a dominating way, watching his movements with keen eyes filled with hatred and the lust of killing. The man smiled, having thought that surely THIS drug induced creature was his buyer.

"Ah, you must be S-" He never finished his sentence, for the beast shot forward in an instant.


"Robin, come on, this is serious!" Beast Boy yelled out as he walked through the woods surrounding the Titans Tower.

It was noon today and business was slow with no villains being about, leaving Starfire and Raven to go shopping and Cyborg to go look at the latest robot updates in Star City. So, the last two remaining Titans (AKA, The only people who knew of Robin's powers) were left alone on the island to do as they pleased. With hunting season coming up, Robin had been turning into a wolf pup more often, leaving Beast Boy to try and track him down every six minutes fearing that he'd get killed if he wasn't careful. However, Robin was careful and was trying to test Beast Boy by playing a bit of cat and mouse, the question was, who was the cat and who was the wolf. Actually, a better question was who was the wolf and who was the cat.

Robin crouched low to the ground, eying Beast Boy carefully as his trained eyes studied him. As soon as the older teenager wasn't looking, Robin shot out and tackled the older to the ground, gaining a squeak in reply as Beast Boy landed roughly to the forest floor. The wolf panted playfully above Beast Boy as he sat on him, as if he were a lion standing above a downed antelope. The older teen sighed, figures that Robin would trick him like that, oh well, he was used to it by now from having learned about Robin's powers two weeks ago. Since then the team had kept there eyes on there leader, making a new wave of distrust form in the tower while a new wave of brotherhood seemed to form between Robin and Beast Boy. With a grunt, Beast Boy rolled over and glared at the smug pup.

"Yeah yeah, be happy now, but I'll beat you at this game one of these days." Beast Boy told the wolf pup.

Robin barked in reply, although, Beast Boy could hardly understand it. It was definitely taking time to adjust to the changes of knowing that your living with a wolf, but as time continued to pass, it proved that things had only changed by the slightest bits. However, there was something that had been bugging Beast Boy since he had seen the odd story on TV that morning.

"Hey Robin?' He asked.

Robin smiled as he stayed in the bushes in his human form, getting dressed as he hid his body. "Yes, BB?" he asked.

"Well, have you heard of that weird animal attack on the news yet?" He asked, trying to not sound accusing.

Robin stared at Beast Boy, looking a bit upset as he thought hard about what the other hero was saying. "Are you asking if I did it, because I didn't, I didn't even go outside last night."

Beast Boy shrugged. "Didn't you say that you lost control on the full moon?" He asked.

Robin glared at Beat Boy, completely offended by his friends reactions. "Well it wasn't be, so back off! Besides, the full moon ended awhile back. And I'm certain a Wolf child didn't do it, just because we're part wolf doesn't mean we're a bunch of wild animals!" And with that, the boy stormed of in the form of a wolf pup, growling as he disappeared into the underbrush.

Beast Boy sighed before following after Robin, he hadn't MEANT to offend his friend, but he was only just learning more about Wolf Children. He just... he just wanted to make sure Robin was safe as a Wolf Child. He himself had suffered abuse for having odd powers, he didn't want to see Robin go through. Besides, the bird was dangerously unstable, as shown when he had freaked out a few times before. Still, its not like Beast Boy could really control how Robin acted, if the boy wonder set his sights on a plan or on an idea, he went for it without a second thought most of the time, a truly dangerous attribute for a superhero. As Beast Boy searched the island, he suddenly realized something was very wrong. Most of the time Robin would come out and give in to just forgetting about it and going home, but now, he seemed to not even BE on the island. Which meant one thing... Robin was alone in the city...

As a wolf.


ROBIN'S POV, THIRD PERSON

Robin growled several Romanian curses as he stormed on all fours through the city, occasionally following elderly people to make people think he was just a dog following his master. Master, Robin hated that word beyond measure, it was a scourge to heroes and wolves for its outrageous title. It meant that the 'master' controlled you, used you as a pet and servant. Oh well, Robin abandoned the sure-to-be-tangent and continued with his stroll. Suddenly, he quickly realized he was being followed by a truck that followed him through the city on the road. With a small gulp, he sped up his walk to a light jog, his paws lightly trotting through the sidewalks path. As the wolf boy had predicted, the truck sped up a bit as he hurried his walking. As this happened, Robin caught sight of a park nearby with no roads and a very small parking lot, perfect escape route. With a deep breath, Robin shot forward like a bullet and ran at full speed into the park. The boy heard a loud screech of what sounded to be tires, but he dared not to look back, in fear of seeing hunters or villains chasing him.

"Quick, after it!" Robin heard Gizmo yell, he wasn't sure if he was glad it was the Hive 5, or terrified.

Robin quickened his running as he heard Mammoth not far behind him. "Hey Giz, why are we catching a puppy again?" He asked Gizmo as he gave chase to the small wolf pup.

Gizmo sighed loudly as his robot spider legs carried him in a quick run after the wolf puppy. "Were you even listening to Queen bee when she told us to go after the pup, gosh your such a rock head! For the millionth time, I don't know either, Queen bee just wants him."

"I don't blame her, look at the poor thing, its adorable." Jinx said, quickly catching up to the tiny puppy.

Gizmo pretended to barf. "How typically girly!" He said, but he yelped as Jinx shot an energy shot at his legs, barely avoiding him.

"Watch it, junior." Jinx threatened.

As the Hive 5 drew closer, Robin started panicking in his head. He couldn't afford to be kidnapped, he would be found out for sure if Queen Bee captured him. Suddenly, Robin smirked, doing a be-line for the woods. The wolf pup heard a few yells for him to come back, but he ignored them as he ran full sprint for the one cabin he KNEW would keep him hidden. 's house of course. As soon as the cabin was in sight, Robin ran faster then he had in years for the door of the house. As expected, the guard dogs immediately started putting up a fuss about him being near, making come outside to see the wolf pup being chased by the Hive 5. The old mans eyes widened, he quickly opened the door and allowed the pup to go in before glaring at the teenagers who now came to a halt.

"Hey old man, out of the way!" Gizmo yelled, glaring at the oh-so-smug wolf behind the old man.

glared at the toddler. "My word, show some respect for your elders, child. Now then, please leave this place." He ordered.

Jinx stepped forward, pushing Gizmo out of the way as she smiled sweetly at the old man. "I'm so sorry for my friends ignorance for such a kind old man as yourself, but we need to get my puppy back. Would you be so kind as to give him back, oh look, there he is! Come here Candy, come here!" She cooed to the puppy.

Robin growled in a low tone as he backed away from her, trying to put on a real show for to see that he was NOT her pet. "I'm sorry young miss, but this wolf pup is mine." Wintergreen lied.

"But sir, he looks just like my wolf puppy Candy." Jinx lied, trying to get that wolf at all costs.

smiled at the girl, but anyone paying attention could tell he hated her now. "My lady, this is indeed my wolf pup. You see, I fund him orphaned in the woods of Canada, the poor thing had been so afraid. Now if you may, I believe he needs his rest after such an... eventful evening."

With a sigh, the Hive 5 stormed off, they be villains, but randomly attacking an old man could be considered very low, unless of course your a big bad like Slade or Joker. As soon as they were gone, gave robin a very kind smile.

"My, haven't YOU had a long day?" Wintergreen said, patting the wolf on the head. "But, I'm sure its nothing compared to being a superhero, right Robin?"

Robin froze, mouth agape as he stared with wide eyes at Wintergreen, how in the world had he found out the truth?" Wintergreen smiled at the pup, patting his head again. "Oh calm down, its not everyday for me to see a Wolf Child in California. As soon as I saw you change from a wolf to a human a few months ago, I knew you were a Wolf Child for sure. Lucky for you I can keep a secret, so I won't tell."

With a sigh, Robin grabbed a blanket from a couch off to the side and wrapped it around himself protectively. And then, he changed to a human once more, covered by the blanket for 's sakes. "How did you even know of Wolf Children?" Robin asked, eyes downcast in shame for being found out so easily.

"I have known for years, child. Believe it or not, your not the first Wolf Child I've ever met. A few years ago my best friend fell in love with a Wolf Child, sadly, the poor girls dead now, it was a tragic death too." Wintergreen explained to the boy as he handed him a cup of tea.

Robin nodded, understanding that loss was truly a rough topic. "I won't pry sir, after all you've done alot for me tonight. I myself have lost alot in my life, so I understand that it might be a hard subject, even if you didn't know her on a super personal level."

Wintergreen smiled at the child, he wondered why Robin's eyes were downcast and then remembered something, Robin was unmasked, which meant his identity was right there and all Wintergreen had to do was see those eyes. With a smile, Wintergreen grabbed Robin's chin gently, but was pushed away gently.

"I-I'm sorry sir, I trust you but-"

"I understand child, I had no right to pry at your personal identity. Here, let me get you something to help." With that, Wintergreen left the room and soon returned with a pair of thick sunglasses. "Try these on."

Robin smiled and quickly put them on, they fit well. "Thank you, ." He said happily as he sipped his tea softly.

"Anytime, child. If you wish, you may stay here for tonight." Wintergreen told Robin, who smiled brightly at that.

Robin nodded enthusiastically. "That would be wonderful sir, and thanks again for saving be back there."

"It is no trouble, child. Besides, I've dealt with far worse." Wintergreen explained, giving a pillow to the child. "Here, you should rest."

"Yes sir." Robin responded before wrapping himself further into the blanket he had around himself and placed his head on the pillow.

He was asleep in seconds.
