A/N: I am so sorry! I know that I left you with a cliffhanger and then I left! I am so sorry! But I'm updating now so yay! Don't hurt me! If you do, I can't update so ha! You'll just have to read the chapter…Here you go…please don't hurt me…

"Wh-what do y-you mean?" Wally asked nervously.

"There's a handprint on…on you arm. " Jinx said pointing at his arm. Everyone glanced at his arm and saw that Jinx was telling the truth. There was a huge purple and red handprint on his bicep. Wally laughed nervously, rubbing at his arm and wincing when it throbbed.

"Wally…who hit you?" Jinx asked.

"A villain. Duh." Wally was panicking inside. He didn't want them to know. He didn't want them to think he was weak.

"I know that villains do horrid things," Starfire said, "but they are not known for slapping. Mainly punching and kicking."

"Sí, lo que la belleza, dijo." (Yeah, what the beauty said.)

"Wally," Jinx said almost glaring at him. She growled, "Who. Hit. You?"

Wally looked down, tears threatening to spill over. Dick and Roy stepped in front of him protectively, arms crossed.

"That's enough." Roy said.

"No! I need to know who hit him!" Jinx said.

"That is his own secret." Dick said, eyes narrowed at Jinx, "He'll tell you in his own time."

"But-"

"No." Wally whispered, "She's right. She has the right to know."

Dick stared at him in shock, "But Wally-"

"No. I should tell her," He looked up at her sadly. He scrunched his eyes to keep from crying. His voice cracked, "My parents…my parents…they abuse me."

Everyone but Dick and Roy gasped. Jinx looked murderous as her eyes turned pink.

"Why would anybody want to hurt you?" she asked. Her voice was angry yet bewildered at the same time.

"I don't know." Wally said, looking down at his feet, "My dad just doesn't like me. My mom just watches when he beats me."

"He does more than just slapping you!" Jinx was fuming, as were the other Titans. Wally was an amazing, sweet boy! His father must be cold and heartless to do that kind of thing to an innocent child.

Jinx turned to Roy and Dick, looking terrifying, "You knew about this too! Why didn't you do anything about it?"

"What could we do?" Dick asked sadly. His deep, sad eyes helped Jinx deflate a little, "We may be Robin and Speedy, but Central City isn't our territory. We can't just barge in all of a sudden and beat Wally's dad up. What would the media say? Plus, we'd get the punishment of a lifetime from Batman."

"It's fine though." Wally said. Everyone looked at him, "A few months ago, or for you guys years ago, he beat me really bad. I dragged myself to Uncle Barry's house. He and Aunt Iris fixed me up and when they heard about what had happened, they officially adopted me."

"That was sweet of him." Starfire said, smiling.

"Yeah," Wally said, an awed look coming upon his face, "he really is awesome."

"I agree." Dick said, also smiling, "I think of him as an uncle. He and Superman are the most like uncles to me."

"Is Batman your uncle?" Beast Boy asked, "Since he isn't your dad…"

Dick tensed and looked like he was going to cry again, "N-no. Batman…Batman adopted me."

"Do you not have any other family?" Starfire asked.

"I-I did." Dick bowed his head. He didn't want to cry again in front of the Titans. He had already done it enough.

"Were they murdered too?" Raven asked. She wasn't usually one to pry, seeing as she had many secrets herself, but this was too tempting to just pass. Dick, head still bowed, nodded.

"All of them." He said, "My parents, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousin. Murdered. Right in front of me."

"Do you have any grandparents?" Bumblebee asked. She hadn't been there when the Titans found out his parents were murdered in front of him, so she was truly shocked. Was this why Mr. Dark and Serious was the way he was? No, the kid was happy before this was mentioned, so what could have caused his unhappiness?

Dick shook his head, "They died before I could meet them."

The Titans eyes bulged. This child, only eight years old, watched his entire family left him forever. The horrors he must have gone through…

"So did Batman adopt you right then and there? Or did he take a while?" Aqualad asked. The three boys stiffened. The Titans watched, curious, as Dick turned away from them, shaking slightly.

"¿Qué pasó?" (What happened?)

"Yeah. What happened?" Bumblebee asked. She knew enough Spanish to know what that meant.

Dick shook some more. Wally and Roy stepped in front of him.

"I think that's enough for today." Roy said, glaring at them.

"Yeah, if he wants to, he can tell you guys tomorrow." They had never seen him look so serious, "I think that it's time that we go to sleep. Do you have a room that we can stay in?"

"Sure." Raven said. She led the three boys out of the room.

"Wow." Bumblebee said, "What do you think happened in the time before he was adopted?"

"I don't know." Beast Boy said, "It must have been really bad though. Did you see how upset he was?"

"Yes." Starfire said, looking close to tears, "he was so…sad. I never knew that Robin had such a sad childhood."

"It's probably why he doesn't talk about his past." Beast Boy yawned, "Well, I'm beat. Good night guys." He left.

"You know where to stay, yes?" Starfire asked Titans East.

"Yeah, we'll just stay where we usually do when we watch the city for you." Bumblebee said, "Come on guys."

Everyone went to bed with the same though in mind.

What an exciting day. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
