Robin sat in the passenger seat of the bat mobile, next to him was batman both of them dressed in civilian clothes. Robin stared out the window watching the city he learned to love and protect pass by him. The car was silent for a half an hour until batman spoke up. "How could you just leave like that?" He asked, his green eyes staring at the road ahead of them. Robin turned and looked at him.

"I couldn't let you take Robin away from me." He answered simply, like he has rehearsed it.

"Well don't you think I had a good reason? You being Robin is dangerous, there are villains out there that are out for you." There was a pause, and all that was heard was the car's engine. "If you…Died… that day, it would have been my fault for letting you be Robin, I put you in that danger." Robin was about to say something when his communicator went off and Cyborg's voice came out of it.

"Yo Robin! The alarm is going off saying the Joker is at Jump national bank!" Robin and Batman exchanged worried glances.

"We'll meet you there." Robin replied ending the conversation. "Turn around we have to go fast." Batman nodded and turned the bat mobile around in one swift movement.

"Your not coming inside you know." Batman said as they where almost there.

"What? It's my team! I have to protect them!"

"And I have to protect you, I said stay in the car and that's an order." The bat answered quickly as they got to the bank. Batman and robin raced out and met the titans out front. "Robin, the car." Batman said pointing back to the bat mobile.

"But!"

"The car. Now" Batman answered his tone getting more violent, making robin turn around and sit back in it. Not for long. The four teens and batman entered the bank's vault room and saw the joker there with three of his goons, filling money into a bag. The Joker turned around and faced them.

"Ahh, Betsey! How good it is to see you!" He said nonchalantly. "And you're brought some friends!" He pointed out gesturing towards the titans.

"Cut the crap Joker, you're going back to jail where you belong." Batman said his voice treating.

"Oh really? I thought we could have a little fun before I went back!" Joker answered slickly. "Hey where is your little Bat brat? Not letting him out of the cage now, afraid of me hmm?" he teased. Batman's fists clenched at him mentioning Dick.

"No, I'm right here." Robin's voice was heard from somewhere in the vault. And within a second he was seen swinging from his grappling hook, kicking the joker straight in the face. "Titans go!" He yelled and the teem went into action attacking the three goons that where with the joker. Robin landed next to batman.

"I told you to stay away." Batman said angry.

"And I didn't." Robin smirked and started running towards the joker, who starting to get up from the ground with batman running close behind. The bat took out his bat-a-rang and hit the joker straight in the face and ribs. By this time the titans already had the other three knocked out.

"Peace of cake." Beast boy announced turning into an Eagle and lifting up Starfire to throw her star bolts onto the already fallen joker. Meanwhile raven put a protective shield around robin as he kicked and punched the joker as hard as he could. And in a split second you could hear the joker laugh from inside the cloud of smoke that surrounded him. Batman grabbed robin by the arm and pulled him back as the joker came out of the smoke, looking completely unharmed.

"As much fun this is, I should be going now." And before anyone could do or say anything he dropped a smoke bomb and disappeared saying. "There isn't any place you can hide, where I won't find you." the heroes stood in awe at what just happened.

"Come on robin, let's go." Batman said putting a hand on his shoulder and leading him out.

"No I can't leave! Not now, when Joker is here in jump!" Robin argued.

"I said lets go." The bat said a little louder grabbing robin's arm and practically dragging him back into the bat mobile. When the car took off Batman looked at Robin.

"I told you to stay in the car." He frowned.

"Yeah, like I was going to let you fight the joker alone. And besides he didn't even fight back."

"He didn't fight back because he wanted to see what you and your team could do, so he knows what to do for the next time. I thought you to be smarter then that Dick" Batman scolded. Robin didn't answer; he just stared out the window frustrated with Bruce. I mean he wasn't a little child anymore; he could take care of himself. "Barbra and Alfred are excited to see you" Bruce said trying to chance the subject.

"Yeah, me too." Dick answered, unconvincingly. He was happy to see them, but he was sure they would be mad too, he left on such a bad note, all he wanted was for things to go back to normal. Within an hour they pulled into the bat cave and walked up the stairs and into the manor to be greeted by Alfred.

"Ah, Master Richard, it is extremely good to see you again, I trust that you had a safe journey."

"Yeah, just perfect." Dick responded and Bruce cut in.

"We had a little run in with Joker, it seems like he was testing the titans to make a plan, we have to be on the look out." Alfred was going to respond but Barbara's voice was heard from down the hall.

"Alfred? Are they here?" Babs asked walking into the room and stopping short when she saw dick. She immediately ran up to him and hugged him.

"Oh Dick, thank god you are alright." She pulled away from him and put a hand on his face. "Gosh I missed you." She said with a smile.

"I missed you too Babs" he smiled back. Dick grabbed his bag and walked up the stairs to his old room on the second floor. He shut the door and put his bag down on his old bed. He looked around; there wasn't much in there- he took a lot of it to jump. He walked over to the window and looked out on the city he used to protect. Batman and Robin- one of the best crime fighting duos there ever was. Until… no he couldn't think about that, he wouldn't think about that. He stared at the city what was light up in the dark, was this his home? Or was jump his home? He sighed and looked at the clock- 12:54am. He should be getting to sleep. He took off his shirt and looked in the mirror at the scar on the left side of his chest, the scar that changed everything. He shut off the light in his room and layed down on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile in the titan's tower the teens all sat down in the man room with robin's old batman box on the table in front of them- Cyborg was able to hack the code for robin's evidence room to get it. "Are you sure we should be doing this, Robin is our leader, he wouldn't keep things from us that where important." Raven said after moments of silence.

"Well since you wouldn't go into his mind yes we do." Beast boy argued, he was extremely curious to know about Robin's past. Raven's face turned angry like she was ready to kill beast boy, Cyborg noticed this and said

"Raven, it might not be important to him for us to know, but we have to know what is going on with him and the joker." Cy tried to convince her. Raven just nodded slightly. Beast boy reached into the box and pulled out a poster and unfolded it. Starfire walked over to him and looked at the poster.

"The Flying Grayson's." She read slowly. "Who are these flying people?" She asked seriously confused.

"They where the best acrobats in a circus business ever! I remember seeing them once! But I don't remember much detail about them" Best boy ranted.

"Here let's check it out." Cyborg said going on the huge computer in front of them and tying the flying Grayson's in. Over seven million hits came up and he clicked on the first one. And read the paragraph out loud. "The Flying Grayson's One of the best Trapeze artists the circus has ever seen. The family worked for over 12 years before a tragic accident that took two the member's lives."

"Sounds like they where really great, I wonder what happened." Star said.

"Click on the members, maybe robin knew one of them." Raven suggested. Cyborg did as told and clicked on the member's button, and read.

"The Flying Grayson's consisted of three members- John Grayson (32) Mary Grayson (31) and there son Rich-" Cyborg stopped reading there and looked at the others.

"Robin was in the flying Grayson's… Keep reading" Best boy said in awe, and Cyborg continued.

"And there son…Richard Grayson… Only nine years old…The three worked together for years until John and Mary Grayson unfortunately died when there rope snapped, making them fall over 50 feet to the ground, there was no net, Richard luckily was still on the platform….Wow." Cyborg finished.

"This means robin's parents died when he was nine." Raven said.

"But it he was in these Grayson's who fly, then how did he become Robin, and how did he get with The Batman who is also named Bruce?" Starfire asked, and before anyone could answer the screen went black and then the joker came up on it doing that creepy laugh.

"Good evening teen titans. Do you know how hard it was to find you? Anyhow, I think it would be rude to not inform you that I have a missile right here." The camera shifted to a large rocket then back to the joker. "That is set to go off in… ohh why don't we say 24 hours? This rocket is set to land right in the middle of jump city and will blow up. Oh I guess you can say everything!" He started laughing again, the titans just started at him open-mouthed. "If you want to find me then look in a factory. Nice talking to you titans!" The screen faded out with the sound of the joker's laughter.
