Last chapter well thank you all for reading :)
Chapter Eleven: Learning to Fly Again
The Titans were seeing Robin one last time before he return to Gotham for an couple of weeks. He was finally allowed to leave the League Headquarters, and was meant to take it easy for an while. Everyone knew Robin wouldn't and would be pushing himself as much as possible.
Robin wasn't very happy about going back to Gotham. But Batman had basically told him that, he was his guardian and he had to do what he was told. And Batman took no nonsense from anyone.
"It'll only be a few weeks" said Robin, he was back in his uniform. Most of his cuts had scabbed over and his multiple bruises had gone an yellowish colour. His ribs were slowly healing but would hurt if he moved too suddenly. But that wasn't what people were worried about.
Robin had told the league what had happen. The Titan heard that his report was an little muddle and Robin mention hybrids. They was no prove of any hybrid when the League search the tunnels after the recuse. No one was sure if they were real or Robin had self-consciously made them up. (Robin claimed he was hundred percent sure they were real, and got very annoyed if someone suggested otherwise)
They find out about Robin's underwater swim also. That was the only evert he would willingly talk about, due to that fact it lack Talons and he wasn't locked in an soundproof room in the darkness for hours on end.
Being cut off form two of his senses for long period of time seem to effect Robin the worst. And was the hardest for him to hide for people. He could handle the darkness as long he could hear other sounds. If things got too quite he out his headphones on and listen to music. It was the sensory deprivation that cause most of his current nightmares.
No one knew if going back to Gotham would help Robin or not. No one knew how long Robin and Batman could go without argueing. Batgirl claimed at Robin had to pass basic Bat Training before he was allowed back to Jump but Batgirl also said if Batman tried to stop him he would just runaway again.
...
Robin was back in the Batcave sparring with Batgirl. Sparring with Batgirl was different from sparring with the Titans - who understandably relined on their powers. He and Batgirl were almost brutal (Without actually hurting each other very much) and more fast paced, and lasted a lot longer. Batman watched them silently from the sidelines.
"That's enough" he said as the timer when off. Robin and Batgirl frozen for a slit second before untangling themself.
"You got some new moves" said Batgirl with an grin
"Have to keep changing, never repeat the same fighting pattern..." Said Robin at once
"You're still to slow" said Batgirl
"But still fast enough to keep up with you..."
"You hesitant for a moment, you had another flash back didn't you?" Asked Batgirl. Robin had an few flashback with his fight with the Talons.
"I didn't" said Robin stubbornly. "I hesitated because I couldn't guess you next move. I'm not the only one who learn something new..." Batgirl didn't look too sure but chosen not to say anything about it.
Batman walked towards Robin "You're going on patrol tonight" Robin nodded his head, he didn't trust himself to say anything.
...
"Either Robins got the all clear or is annoying medical advice" said Beast Boy showing them the article online "And knowing Robin it could be either one" the article had an picture of Robin and Batgirl with some members of an high ranking gang. Beast Boy quickly read though it "seems like none of thr Bats were answering any questions..."
"I don't think they like reporters" said Raven "They get followed as hero's and when they are they serect identity. No wonder they get fed up"
"So dose it mean Robins coming back soon?" Asked Starfire
"He'll be back" said Cyborg confidently. Then he look at the Titan seriously "By the way, you all do relised his paranoia will be worst than ever...and we might need to be an extra eye on him incase he is pushing himself too much"
"I already told him I going to meditate with him daily when he comes back" said Raven "He will be alright, he just needs time"
...
"I'm going back to Jump" said Robin and he hold his breath ready for thr order to stay in Gotham. Ready to be yelled at.
"I know" said Batman "The Titans needs you as much as you need them"
Robin was shoock he didn't expected that answer "What?" He asked confused.
"I was wrong to stop you being Robin, Dick" said Batman "You still need to be Robin, you need the Titans. I'm not stupid. I read the Jump news every day"
"I still read Gotham news" admit Robin. He paused "Do you think the Talons would of taken me, after my parents..."
"I can't say what could of happen" said Batman "And thinking about what ifs, doesn't change what has happen"
"They said I was meant to be in the shadows..."
Batman looked at thr old new papers article on the floor. "Remember when you first become an hero, I suggest you to be called Batboy but you disagreed. I wanted you be wear black but you didn't. Why?"
"It was my nickname..."
"The other reason"
"I wasn't going to let myself on into the darkness. It was to remind me of spring. The light..."
"You may think I safe you the day I took you in. But the truth Is you save me, from myself" said Batman "You are not an Talon, no matter what they tell you. You are Robin"
...
Robin come back an couple of days later. He hardly got into the main room of the tower when Starfire more or less tackle him to the ground. "Miss you too Star" said Robin with an grin.
"So your completely better to do everything?" Asked Cyborg "And don't lie, Robin"
"more or less" Cyborg glare at Robin "You almost mastered the bat glare! Hey Kid Flash been trying for ages..."
"Robin!"
"I'm meant to take thing easy" said Robin "but if I was fine with crime fighting in Gotham, I will be fine here"
"You may passed the Bat Training but you got to pass the Teen Titans Training as well" said Beast Boy.
Robin grinned "You're on"
...
A FEW MONTHS LATER
Everything had got back to normal in the Titan Tower... More or less.
Now they knew Robin's serect identity it made story night even more interesting with the addition stories of travelling with an circus. Batgirl had come to stay once during an School holiday and she and Robin showed them Bat Training (the Titans hoped Robin didn't make them go though it) Kid Flash showed up more often with an box set at he and Robin would binge watched (Last time was star trek and he and Robin knew all the words)
"Can you show us your acted?" Asked Starfire, out of the blue one day.
"What?" Asked Robin looking up from the computer
"the Flying Grayson acted, Kid Flash said you can still do it" explain Beast Boy
"Kid Flash got an big mouth" said Robin under his breath
"Can you show us?" Asked Starfire "I would like to see it very much..."
Robin paused for an moment "Do you all want to see it? I'm sure they and video on youtube of it..."
Cyborg spoke up "But isn't seeing something live better than watching an video?"
"True" said Robin getting up and leading the way to the training room "one thing I know how to do, is to fly..."
