Okay, so quick fix for my last AN: it was not counting the AN, not the chapter. Sorry about that. Also, to:
everyone who reviewed, followed, and/or favorited- Thanks so much! You guys are the ones who keep me writing, so thank you!
lilyismystery- Sorry, but I'm kind of going by which idea sparks my interest at the time. I'll try to get it done soon, but no promises. Sorry. Although it is a pretty good idea, so maybe. :)
I do not own Young Justice.
Robin is ten.
This is another idea given to me by a reviewer. Thanks so much for the prompt!
Chapter Ten: Enlightening
"Gordon." The gruff voice startled said commissioner and he jolted up from the office chair where he had been staring at a computer screen.
"Batman?" He asked, somewhat surprised. It was only just beginning to get dark out, and usually he was the one to go to Batman.
"Yes." The vigilante replied. "I need you to take care of Robin for me. Just for the night."
Gordon blinked in surprise. "Sure, I can do that. But why-" He turned around from where he had been shutting down the computer to see that Batman was gone. In his place stood a small boy in dark jeans, a green jacket, sneakers, and shades.
"Hey." The boy said with a grin, clutching a backpack in his arms. "Bats said to start with homework."
One hour had passed, and the commissioner had learned three things. One, he really shouldn't think about becoming a teacher; two, Robin was a bit too adorable for the police force; and three, the villains really did like Robin.
"I said hand him over!" The Joker screamed, readying another bomb of laughing gas. Three officers were already on the ground laughing, unable to stop.
One of the other officers quickly popped up from behind cover to take a potshot at the clown, who was surrounded by multiple other villains. "No way, he's ours!" The man yelled.
"No, he's our baby bird!" The Penguin yelled back, looking somewhat less threatening in an 'I love Robin' T-Shirt.
"Well, the Batman gave us Robin to babysit, not you!" One of the new officers shouted; a bit childishly, Gordon thought with a wince.
He turned back to where Robin had been standing and watching the argument, a strange expression on his face, only to groan. The young vigilante was gone.
"I am sorry, Master Richard." Alfred said as he drove away from the police station. "The situation popped up so suddenly, I really could not say no to my brother. And it is a school night."
Dick grinned back at him from the back seat of the car, sunglasses already gone to reveal bright blue eyes. "It's fine, Alfred."
Alfred stayed silent for a couple of minutes before speaking again. "So, Master Richard, how was it?"
"... enlightening."
So, while this was a pretty short chapter, I do hope you enjoyed. Please review!
