This is the fourth chapter, and this would include a first attack and a first bulling scene, heads up. There's more of those to come.

Welcome to another day of Gothan Academy.

Just as that thought processes through everyone's mind. A simultaneous groan was heard.

"Yo freak! Wher' the hell is my assignement?" a gruff voice hollered through the halls.

Students had drifted away to form a wide path for this someone. Most students left to get to class early, leaving only a few staring straiight at their looker and dare not looking behind, then they quickly made a dash for their classrooms.

The team slowly turned around to see a bulky student head towards...

Nat Harswell marched towards the end of the hallway where Dick Grayson stood talking to Barbara to aware of his incoming bully.

Dick quickly turned around swiftly, practically about to punch whoever was behind me with his robin instincts. He slowly lowered his fists and raised a brow.

"Oh hi, Nat? How's your day," He casually greeted, "Simon not with you?"

Nat did not find that find that amusing,but he replied, "Thanks to you, Simon left this miserable school of a place away from a freak like you..."

"Meaning, it's just you and me."

He sneered, "Where the fuck is my essay?"

Barbara standing on the side glared at him, "You said it yourself. 'Your', essay?"

She spat spitefully at him.

Nat pushed her aside, slamming her into the lockers.

Dick yelled, "Hey! That was uncalled for!"

"Your existence was uncalled for," Nat punched him.

Dick barely dodged it, he knew he had to keep his identity a secret, the team was watching. Right now, what he needs is to be a helpless circus freak.

Helpless, he got the acting skills.Circus Freak? You can take the boy out of the circus, but you can't take the circus outa the boy.

He let Nat kick his legs for him to fall. Dick smiled a bit, but he did his best not to look like a crazy maniac who liked inflicting pain on himself.

He had twisted ankle now, perfect. He had expected Harswell to at least break his ankle, but seriously. Pathetic.

_§_

All of a sudden, the glass on the windows broke, and gunshots were heard.

Barbara helped prop Dick up and supported him with his twisted ankle. Nat slowly let go of Dick, but he could not hide his terrified face. As much of a bulky, bully he was, still...

The team came to their senses after witnessing a bullying scene.

'Team, suit up and make sure only a few of us make an appearance to avoid suspension.' Kaldur ordered. 'Artemis, Wally, you both are public heroes. While you both go handle the situation, me, Miss Martian and Superboy will go into cover and seek for information.'

Artemis. 'Roger.'

Wally. 'Copy that'

The future couple, despite the many times they denued, ran off to gear up and get out of their uniforms.

Artemis put on her mask, "Ugh. Glad to change out of those stuoid uniforms. Who the hell makes a skirt this short?!" She murmured.

"Please. I choke on that tie," Wally complained.

"Shut up, baywatch."

"You shut up."

"Kid idiot"

"Artichok-"

"Incoming!" Artemis slammed herself and pushed Wally out of the way onto the floor. A row of bullets nearly pierced Wally if Artemis hadn't pushed him out of the way as shse barely dodged it as well.

Wally rubbed his head, "Oww..."

He raised his head to find himself just a few inches away from Artemis' face.

Artemis turned to look at him as well, and for a few split seconds, they stayed in the position.

Both artemis and wally returned to their semses once again and backed away from each other.

"Ewwww!"

"Gerooff!!"

Kaldur, Connor and M'gaan who listened to theur conversation on the other side of the link all sighed.

Students were madly running around wildy in every direction like, where's the exit? Should I go to the exit? Wait! I need to go to the bathrooom first!

A few men holding AK-47s stepped into the locker hallway. They were all dressed in black and ggrey clothing. If not for the very distinxt patterns on their clothing, they would have ridiculously looked like some dumb burglars.

Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordan and Nat Harswell were totally in the way.

Nat Harswell, as a pathetic and scared, bully he was, ran off in horror with a follwing sqeaking noise.

Dick turned to Barbara, "Babs, we need to get out now!"

Barbara wasn't some dumb paniky girl. She nodded her head calmly as Dick and her ran aside the scene.

Dock mentally prayed the team could deal with the situation. 'I mean a few gunners who look like stupid henchmen should be a piece of cake. Unless the villian himself appear'.

Artemis tripped a guy and quick-shotted another in the leg. She quickly scanned the scene and saw Kid Flash swiping, disarming and tripping a few of them in superspeed.

Just as Wally disarmed the last one of them. Artemis shot him with an arrow.

"Geez, you just had to steal my kill," Wally moaned.

Artemis scoffed, "Like you didn't steal at least like 10 of kills in call of duty."

"Oh c'mon, it wasn't that bad-"

"24 assets...fifteen fucking assets," Artemis held up her hands at Wally and repeated slowly.

Wally sheepishly grinned, "Oh maybe it was that bad."

A cough was heard behind them.

Kaldur stood there and said grimly, "Artemis, Wally, perhaps you can argue over a pointless topic for the time being as at least 4 stydents could have been shot at if me, Miss Martian and Superboy decided to risk our covers and save them?"

Wally and Artemis both hubg their heads sheepishly.

Artemis remarked," Hey did you guys notice Dick didn't even budge, scream or panic when the bully approached them. And for a second, he just went into some karate stance, and something tells me its suspicious."

Wally had a lot to think about now. Dick. Robin. His best friend. His best friend, had never ever mentioned he was bullied. Hurt by that stupid guy. What was his name? Nut Fartwell?

All these years, he never realised that? Sure, he was a geeky science nerd himself at school, he was occasionally being teased of which... But getting beat up, humiliated of personal background involung deaths, trauma. Those people knew nothing of true depression was. They knew nothing of losing someone in your life.

The feeling when you wake up and believe they are still here, until the truth hits you like a wrecked train. It is usually worst for people who adapt to things to much.

He didn't care right now. He was going to punch the lights out of that kid ans maybe invite Roy as well.

But Artemis, being the raw and assuing person she is, just had to point out Dick's robin reflexes. Fuck, he got bullied,give him a break. He needed to defend dick without sounding suspicious. He considered it his job, even with his life. He was give the honour, he needed to hold it up.

There's no way he's letting Dick down.

"Well, he did come from a circus apparently, meaning he got some pretty dope acrobatic skills... Maybe he learnt to punch into a few karate moves?"

"But y'know, he's a circus freak and gets bullied apparently as well, meaning there's a high possibility he might be a bad guy. Its always the bullied people, or the people from certain places where you pick up some skils and stuff."

Connor, M'gaan ans Kaldur just stared at her weirdly.

" Oh c'mon! Ever heard of Carrie? Movies? " Artemis groaned.

Connor spoke up," Maybe her last statement isn't 100% true, but her first one seems pretty valid to me."

"Y-yeah," Wally said. He had to go with the flow and not sound reluctant.

Later, the police started to surround the building and investigate the whole attack.

The team returned to mount justice to report the situation to Batman.

Batman said grimly, "I suppose you all know this attack is connected with the threat"

Artemis stepped foward, wanting to talk about her suspicions towards Dick Grayson.

Her lips slowly parted until Batman, being the greatest detective and all, ended the conversation, "Batman out."

Artemis bit her lips and sighed.

Of course, goddamn batman.

"You know, i once got this fish..." Wally suddenly said thoughtfully.

Artemis said, "Nobody wants to know about your fish."

Wally ignored her. "It was called Fishy fish.

" And then? "M'gaan urged, eager to hear the story as they were all bored.

He frowned, "Well... He died."

Kaldur flinched slightly.

"You're ridiculous," Artemis snorted.

After a few moments of silence, Artemis cut the tension, "Why did the fish die?"

Wally mentally smirked, of course Artemis would always make negative comments about whatever he says, as if she keeps track of every word he says and eventually find a situation where she would use his own words agasint him. But in the end, she's still curious, mostly about the reasons of demise.

"Well, I accidently brought him to school and...uhm, I lost him. Then I later found him dead after a few weeks in the bathroom" Wally's mouth become a straight line of 'Oh well...'

Artemis raised her eyebrow, "How the hell does anyone lose a fish, let alone, in the freakin' bathroom?!"

"You asked for it," Wally said.

Kaldur tensed, "My friend, I believe that is truly a tragic story. I am sorry for your loss."

Miss Marian agreed, "Yeah."

Connor shook his head, just another day.

Recognized Robin B01

Wally suddenly grippled the arm of the sofa tightly. He watched as his best friend's figure slowly become apparent from the blinding light of zeta tubes.

_§_

Robin walked into the cave and saw his teammates all siting down on the sofas.

He manged to let out a weary "Hey guys."

He knew Wally has eyeing him with concern, after all, he had a right. He prayed Wally hadn't told Bruce about this.

Connor noticed something was definitely wrong, "Wha-"

"Nah, just tired after a super long day." Robin didn't need to hear it. He immediately cut Superboy off.

Connor was skeptical. So was the rest of the team, but they decided not to push him.

No one spoke at all.

The whole day at the mountain was silent, Connor watching static, M'gaan baking, Kaldur reading, Artemis fidgeting with her arrow and Wally glancing at him with worry in his eyes.

Mysteryfan17: Sammeeeeeee. I am a tital complete absuloute sucker for Dick being the youngest, not meta and stuff and literally all my fanfiction preference are basically Dick youngest, Dick yada yada yada. I'm wondering if I could have inspiration from your idea.

This chapter is basically the bully, Nat's, first appearance. (I rather just have one bully so... Im gonna edit my first chapter to remove Simon or not if I forget) following with a first attack with some spitfire stuff, and Wally comes to the realisation his best friend is bullied.

I will possibly add in your idea, if you hopefully allow me, in the coming next few chapters, as for the next chapter it had given me a hard time to think about whete it should be placed in. Since the title is legit with the word 'Trolls' there, i decided why not? Moving back, Nat will be going deeper into Dick's parents' death. And as Wally witnesses it as well, he decides whether to snap or not. Honestly, I think that it would be a hard decision for Wally. But I can guarantee 100% Nat is gonna get 'Karma is a bitch' smacked onto his face.

P. S. When I got an email of your review, they literally censored out Dick's name. So the whole email was basically D(the three asterisk or whatever they're called since it keeps automatically removing them after I save this) and I'm down on my knees laughing.
