"Friend Robin? Please open your door. We wish to speak to you."

Robin turned as he heard the familiar voice through his door. He sighed. He really did not feel like talking. He knew he had no right to hide anything from them and he knew he should tell them, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything. He did not want his team to see him so…weak again. He stayed silent.

"Yo Rob! Come on man we deserve an explanation."

"Yeah, dude. I mean I understand that you're upset, but come on."

"Please Friend Robin. We wish to make sure you are alright."

"Guys away now. He asked for time alone. Leave him be."

"But friend Raven-"

"NO!"

Robin simply sighed. He knew avoiding them was stupid and wrong, but he couldn't help himself. He was naturally quiet about personal things. He didn't open up and do "the sharing of the feelings" as Starfire would say.

"Hey."

Robin nearly had a heart attack when he saw Beastboy standing next to his bed.

"How did you get in?"

Beastboy shifted nervously.

"I-uh. I kinda broke your lock and the door just opened."

Robin just sighed. He really didn't care at this point. He was worn out and tired and-

"Robin, dude?"

"Huh? Oh sorry Beastboy just thinking."

"Oh about Slade?"

Robin nodded his head. Beastboy looked at his leader and for the first time he didn't see an overly determined workaholic, but a kid. A kid who needed a friend to cheer him up and Beastboy would gladly accept that role.

"Hey Rob; wanna play MegaMonkeys 7 with me? I just got it yesterday. Maybe we could watch Super Ninja Showdown 8."

Robin shook his head and Beastboy pouted. He was now clueless of what to do. Robin was usually the one who made things better.

"Um okay, wanna talk?"

Robin looked at Beastboy for a minute before nodding his head.

"Okay, um what do you want to talk about?"

Robin shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, dude I have the perfect idea! Let's talk about Batman."

"Okay."

Beastboy was surprised by the smallness of Robin's voice. He had never seen his leader so defenseless, but even with the mask on Beastboy could tell that Robin had hope. That's why Robin was their leader, because no matter what they were hit with Robin always had hope. Always.

"Well um, how did you become Robin?"

Beastboy saw Robin tense and he flashed back to the video.

"Never mind dude, you don't have to answer. It was stupid of me to-"

"No it's okay BB. You have the right to know. So do the other Titans, but I guess I'll tell you first since you're here. Well you watched the video so I guess that explains some of it, but that little kid, that was me and the man and woman were my parents. We were the Flying Grayson's. After that night I was taken and put in juvie for two weeks because I was a material witness and they were afraid the man who killed my parents would try and come after me. Afterwards I was adopted by Br-Batman and I guess you can figure out the rest."

"Yeah. You said you and your family were the flying Graysons? Does that mean that Batman is-"

"Yeah Beastboy."

"Oh, cool dude. Um I know this is not the right time to be asking this, but can I have his autograph. I mean it's not every day that your best friend's mentor is both the dark knight and a millionaire."

Robin chuckled at a smile crept up his lips.

"Yeah BB I'll make sure he gives you an autograph, in fact you can probably ask him tomorrow."

Beastboy looked at Robin confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Batman's coming to Jump."

Beastboy couldn't hide his excitement.

"Wait, you mean I'm actually meeting the Batman? Like in the flesh? Dude! That's so freaking awesome!"

Robin started cracking up laughing and soon all the others were in his room wondering why he was suddenly so happy.

"Yo what's going on?"

"Yes please tell us how you did the cheering up to friend Robin."

Beastboy ran towards the other Titans with a big smile on his face.

"Dudes. Dudes. Dudes, were going to meet Batman! He's coming here to the Tower and omigosh. We're going TO MEET BATMAN! The Dark Knight, one of the big three, a founding member of the Justice League, Bruce Wayne!"

Immediately Beastboy slapped his hands over his mouths and turned to look at Robin.

"Dude, I'm soooo sorry."

Robin who was still laughing was holding his sides.

"It's fine BB. It was going to happen anyway. Guys I need to tell you something."
