What was once a quiet day in Jump City, became loud and obnoxious as Punk Rocket was causing another destructive solo in the city. But the titans were there to save the day once again.

"There's no room for your antidisestablishmentarianism in Jump City, Punk Rocket!"

"Oi, don't you see?! Ever since you two blundered the cop thing with Beast Freak and Orange there, that just only reinforces my point about government order! Let me show you!" With a strong strumming start, he began to shout lyrics. "Mayors should be arrested, and cops be banned! Sheriffs and politicians should be canned! If the titans can't uphold the law, then order shall fall before much too long!" As the shockwaves of his music literally ripped through the streets, cracking the buildings, overturning cars and shattering the street. Even with their ear buds which they use for Punk Rocket cases, they couldn't withstand against 200+ decibels of sound feeling like they were near a 300 ton explosion.

Even some of the titan's clothes were getting damaged from the sheer volume pressure. Raven's was the first to go as her cloak flew off due to the clasp shattering, along with the jewels around her hips leaving holes which then ripped away until a ring of low midriff exposing her upper hips and belly button. The two other girls were less fortunate as not only did their skirts flew off, exposing their undies, but even Jinx's top opened up due to the buttons breaking apart, though luckily a white tank top was shown underneath instead of something worse. Still, the girls screamed as they modesty was blown away before they themselves were. Robin was also blown back while his mask came off. Rolling across the ground, Robin initially panicked before remembering that the raccoon eye mask was just the first layer, as his face was a special apply on incase in was taken off unwillingly. Sort of like what The Question uses but it actually has a face. Beast Boy slammed into Cyborg whom was too heavy for the sound to blast back, but was no less affected as the glass of his body shattered, including his eye, his visible circuits sparking, and the metal vibrating with waves. Beast Boy was the only one who didn't look like he was too damaged by the music, even with his face rippling with the soundwaves and the sleeves of both his shirt and pants ripping away to reveal his hairy appendages.

Getting his best friend's attention by waving his hand in front of Cy's face, he then pointed to himself, then the sky, and made a throwing motion. Understanding, the metallic titan threw BB into the sky like a football, several hundred feet up. Now nearly right above Punk Rocket, the green shapeshifter turned into a blue-er, green whale and started to fall. Punk Rocket noticed a shadow coming down towards him, and looked up and gasped before running and jumping out of the way, crashing down on his equipment and amps. Whatever explosions there would be were contained under his immense weight, and whatever damage he might've had were gone upon becoming human again, since his transformations have a healing factor. If his power can screw the conservation of mass by either becoming a whale or mouse, than injuries should be changed away as well.

"Whew, that was unpleasant." The green teen whistled, not appreciating the vibrations pushing through his body. Seeing Punk Rocket trying to run, he turned into a cheetah, and caught up with him easily before going back to human and flying kicked the villain into a portal Raven helped create, sending his butt to jail again. All of the titans reconvened with him, though not before Raven used her magic to restore everyone's clothes, though that only served to aggravate her dizziness. But hey, their modesty was in jeopardy. Though Robin was still looking for his mask, using his cape to partially cover his face.

"Man dude! You totally rocked Punk Rocket! Booyah!" Cyborg held up a high five, which his best friend returned, but asked,

"What?!"

"Earplugs!" Jinx yelled while pointing at her ears, before taking them out. Everyone did so, though Beast Boy realized something. He still couldn't hear things. Like his ears were clogged up still while they tried talking to him. Shapeshifting his finger into that of a lemurs, he shoved them into his ears, and pulled out enough ear wax that they could make a candle together, even if it wouldn't light. "Ugh, gross! You need to clean your ears more often!" The pink haired witch complained.

"What, they helped me get near without getting my ears blown out."

"Still, that much wax is disgusting."

"Robin, are you alright?" Starfire asked her boyfriend, whom was still looking for his mask.

"Oh, just looking for my mask is all. My face is no one's business."

"Dude, does it matter? Even with the mask 90% of your face shows." Cyborg pointed out.

"Hey, just because most of my face shows doesn't mean that the other 10% should. Sometimes the eyes are the most distinguishing! Ah, here they are." Finding his mask, he put it on. "Now, let's go home." But even as they went home and entered the living room, they were still talking about it.

"Why do you need to conceal yourself from us? You know who we are." Starfire inquired.

"Dude, pretty much the only background we don't know of is yours. So why not get into the circle where we know everything about each other." Beast Boy stated. Sighing defeat, he said,

"Fine. Just give me a few hours. I need time to steel myself up."

One tantalizing wait later. After dinner, it was time as they sat in the living room.

"Alright titans, you want to know who I am under this mask? I guess I can trust you all enough after all we've been through." But to their surprise, he wasn't taking off the mask around his eyes, but the one around his face. Taking some aerosol spray from his belt, he sprayed it over his face, letting the mask loosen so that he could show them his real face. Originally, the face they've known for the longest time was extremely generic. No blemishes, no hairs, nothing the pushed out more than normal, his face with the mask was practically featureless, save for a mouth and nose in general. But seeing what was underneath now, Robin did have features. A pointed chin though certainly not dagger like, along with the jaw not as broad as Cyborg's. He had visible cheekbones but again not too noticeable. But the one thing they've only until now never seen were his eyes. Blue. Not brown, green or hazel, but blue. Only...he wasn't a god of perfected beauty or anything. Robin unmasked was just simply attractive rather than beautiful or drop dead gorgeously handsome.

"Huh, better looking, and yet oddly I was expecting more." Cyborg commented.

"Yeah. Probably something like Teen or Rouge magazine." Beast Boy agreed.

"R-Robin." Starfire was gasping, since she was the most attracted of them all. "I thought you were the good looking before, but now..." The Tamaranean princess almost outright fainted into his arms, clearly awestruck to the point of comatose. Likely because they already loved each other and thought they both were beautiful people.

"I don't see the big deal." Jinx shrugged. "He just looks like any other boy I see on magazine covers in the store, like Beast Boy mentioned."

"Yeah, same here." Raven stated, but unlike her fellow dark titan, Raven was at least blushing, but made sure her hood covered them so that Beast Boy didn't notice.

"Raven knows my history, when she looked into my mind when I was under the influence of Slade's mask, but here's the complete truth. My name...is Richard Grayson."

"Of the Flying Graysons?" Jinx asked. All the other titans looked at her, and she shrugged. "I've read those teen mags every once in a while, if I'm like, super bored."

"Yes, the Flying Graysons. I told you about how I was not on friendly terms with the circus, but the reason for that is because my parents were murdered during an act right in front of me." His friends gasped, except Raven. Sure, their own childhoods had plenty of parental deaths as well, but they were either killed by freak accident, or nowhere near their vicinity. Except for Raven's but that was a whole other issue. But the fact that his were taken away deliberately?

"Oh Robin, I feel the sorry for you." Starfire consoled as she hugged him.

"Thanks Star. I was angry, since the murder was set to look like a freak accident with the trapeze snapping, but I saw. And yet there were no connections, so the murderer got away scot free. Shortly after though, I met Bruce Wayne, and he adopted me as his ward. But becoming a ward is more than just what happened to me."

"Wait, you're telling me that..." Cyborg pondered out loud, connecting the dots. Figurative light bulbs over Cyborg, Beast Boy and Jinx lit up, though only two of them did as Beast Boy's was only flickering weakly as he tried grasping the concept. Growing tired, Cyborg took his lightbulb and replaced it with an eco-friendly bulb, and Jinx gave it a zap of energy so that the changeling finally got the idea, the other two smiling.

"Bruce Wayne and Batman are one and the same?!" The three asked.

"Yeah. He taught me everything I know. Martial arts, which helped with my previous acrobatic training, use of gadgetry and detective skills. To keep up appearances I still had to appear every once in a while as Richard to the public. I attended school, defended myself against bullies, aced pop quizzes. But most of the time people believe I travel abroad learning the ways of Bruce Wayne."

"Man, not only are you Batman's former sidekick, but you're even the ward of a multi-billionare?!" Beast boy exclaimed.

"Isn't he somewhere like, over $20 billion dollars?" Cyborg asked.

"No no, that's last year. Last I checked we're over 35 now." Robin answered.

"Dude, I want to experience what your life is like man! Please! I want to know Richard personally!" The green teen begged on his knees, along with Cyborg.

"Me too man! I know Star Labs is rich since it funds us, but we're nowhere near your amount of resources!" While Robin was taken aback by their forwardness, he was equally surprised by the lack of when it came to the girls.

"Not that I'm actually complaining, but why aren't you lining up on your knees?"

"I was raised as a princess of Tamaran. I already know the life of luxury. Also, I have only known you as Robin up to now, so even with the revelation of who your other self, I still see you as Robin, my leader and boyfriend." Starfire answered sincerely.

"Aw, thanks Star." Robin said gratefully before kissing her, making the alien girl giggle.

"Same for me. Even though I knew who you were back then, I still called you Robin all this time." Raven replied. "Also my upbringing in Azarath taught me how not to be materialistic."

"I've already went through the phase of ragged street girl to a villainess enjoying the lavish life, so this isn't new." Jinx shrugged.

"Oh, okay then. It seems we have a plan. We're going to Gotham. But as to not raise any suspicion in the city, we'll all need to adopt civilian identities. Titans, go change." The easiest was Robin and Cyborg. Robin changed into a long sleeved black shirt and blue jeans. Nothing special. Cyborg used his hollow rings to become Victor Stone again, now wearing a grey sweatshirt and black pants. Beast Boy and Jinx stayed with Raven so that she can cast her spell.

"Now Beast Boy, since your DNA is not consistent, and your pigment is green, I can't guarantee that your powers will work with the spell perfectly. You might revert back to green, or your animals will have the same coloring in proportion to your body and maybe even clothes, so don't transform if you can help it."

"I get ya Rae Rae." He nodded in understanding.

"Good. Let us begin. Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" As the sorceress's magic coursed through their bodies, their appearance became more typical human. While Raven still kept somewhat of a tan from her time in Africa, now it was a normal skin tone of a fair skinned girl. Beast Boy went from green all over to being fair skin as well, along with his ears becoming more normal looking, if no less effective thanks to his animal empowered ear drums. Jinx went from being as pale as Raven to a more Caucasian skin tone, and her hair went from bubblegum pink to red, along with no longer standing up like a horse shoe, flowing down to the bottom of her shoulder blades. This however didn't sit with her well.

"Hey, while I don't care much about my Indian heritage, I don't want to be whitewashed over it, and red is so not my hair color. I'd like to look more appropriate please."

"Sorry." Raven apologized, snapping her fingers for another shift. This time her skin was more along the tone of Asian Indian(or Indian American. Whatever is more apt), and her hair became jet black.

"Thank you." Since Star didn't have civilian clothes, they went to a clothing store. Starfire got a long sleeved lavender shirt with exposed shoulders and straps over them, chocolate brown skinny jeans, and black pumps. Her shirt had a cartoon face of a kitten over the chest. Raven got a black jacket with a skeleton design, a black skirt, and sneakers. Jinx got a dark red/pink jacket to go over a thin white sleeved shirt underneath, the front having an insignia of a broken heart in the middle, and a deep purple skirt to go over her black leggings, finished at the bottom with black and silver colored sneakers. Beast Boy got a white and orange sleeved hoodie jacket and olive green cargo pants. After also getting contacts and make up so that Starfire's eyes appeared to have white sclera and a more human looking olive tan skin tone, it was finally time to go. After Titans East agreed to watch the city for a week or two, the main Titans made their way to Gotham. Once they lifted off, Robin put the ship on auto pilot and went to his friends.

"While we're going to Gotham, some of us should come up with names. We already know about Victor Stone and Garfield Logan, and myself as Richard Grayson, but what about you girls?"

"For a short while before meeting you, my psudo-name was Rachel Roth." Raven said.

"Rachel. I really like it." Beast Boy complimented, making her blush.

"Thanks, Garfield." She liked the feel of that on her tongue.

"I do not know much of your Earth names. My Tamaranean name is Koriand'r. Could that be of help?" The disguised alien girl asked.

"Hmmm. You could be...Kori Anders." Robin suggested, making her giggle.

"You just put the space in the middle and a s at the end. But I do like it. Kori Anders." As she repeated her altered name to herself, Jinx thought about it for a few minutes.

"I was looking through those spinning racks with mini plates with random names on them. I suppose that I could be...Holly Thompson."

"Now that's a pretty name." Cyborg nudged her arm, and she chuckled.

"Thanks."

"Hehe, now that I see it both ways now, Cy and Jinx or Victor and Holly, you two could hook up and make the team a trifecta of couples. I'd ship that." Garfield ribbed, making the two team members blush.

"Sh-shut up Gar! Just because we're passing as normal people doesn't mean I can't beat you up." Jinx threatened, letting her magic spark through her fingers.

"Friends, let us not fight already." Kori pleaded. "We are going to spend time as Rob-I mean, Richards' guests in his home place, so we should behave as such."

"Thanks Kori. I'll ring up Alfred and tell him we're coming." As he left, Holly was curious.

"Alfred?"

"Probably his butler or something." Garfield chuckled. Hours later, they landed in the landing section of Wayne Manor and Alfred awaited them.

"Welcome back Master Richard." Alfred greeted. "I hope your flight has been well." In a rare display, the two hugged after not seeing or talking for so long.

"Dude, you actually have a butler?! I was just kidding!"

"Well, he's not my butler, more like Bruce's. It's been good Alfred. I believe you know my friends?" Richard formally introduced them to the butler.

"Greetings Teen Titans. If you should have any need or question, don't hesitate to ask me." (A/N: I have no idea why, but in my head I'm voicing him as a deep voice Jeff Bennet. Something similar to Dexter's dad or Joker from Brave and the Bold. Maybe even that wooden machine in the Flapjack cartoon. I don't know why but it's just amusing to me that it just came up in my mind for no reason.)

"How about you give them a tour Alfred? Break them into the villa?"

"Very good, sir. Follow me if you will." Alfred walked to act as tour guide, followed by Victor, Garfield, Rachel and Holly. Only Kori stayed with Richard.

"Richard, what are you going to be doing if not following with us?"

"I need to talk to Bruce. I'll be right back." Kissing her to assure her, Kori smiled before going off with the others. She caught up to them in the main hall.

"Welcome back Miss Kori. Wayne Manor is home to many amenities that I'm sure you titans are familiar with. Here we have the dining room." It was an eating room with a ridiculously long table. So long in fact, that when Garfield and Rachel sat at each end, they could barely see each other at the ends.

"Hey, you Rach! Can you hear me?!" He yelled playfully.

"What?!" She asked back. The other titans giggled from the shenanigans. Moving on, they saw the backyard outside.

"Those would be the gardens." Alfred informed.

"Oh man, even though it's not a maze it's like one could get lost in there." Jinx whistled. After that, they found a study room.

"This would be the study which Master Bruce never uses, for reasons that are obvious." The butler jested.

"And yet nothing looks dusty." Rachel commented.

"Of course. I can't let anything in this manor get dirty. Ah, yes, down this hall, will be your guest rooms." The five titans would find that they each have their own rooms, though one at the end was labeled "Master Richard".

"This is Richard's bedroom?" Kori asked. "May I...see the inside?"

"You may." The butler allowed. Entering, it was like all the others, but had a few things that gave it 'Richard' feel to it. Papers involving mysteries that have been solved, weapons adorning the walls, and a few practice props.

"How interesting." The alien girl commented as she laid down onto her back on his bed. Snuggling into the bed, she enjoyed the idea of being in the same bed as her boyfriend.

"Hey, who are you people?" A boy's voice spoke out. Kori got up and looked to see a teenage boy who wore a red shirt and black long shorts. His black hair was combed forward so it was like his hair was a cowl.

"Master Tim, these are friends of Master Richard. And Robin." Alfred answered. Looking at them all sequentially, he hummed in contemplation.

"The Teen Titans. Why was I not informed they'd be here?"

"You requested not to be disturbed until you came out of your room. They came to experience Master Richard's civilian life, and thus will be staying here for a week or two."

"Well that explains things." He then went back into his room without saying hello to anyone.

"Forgive Master Tim. He's...not a very social chap."

"Well, if he's going to be that anti-social then I don't mind ignoring him either." Holly scoffed while flipping her hair back.

Once it was dinner time, the titans were amazed by the gourmet they saw. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, chicken potpie, broccoli chicken casserole, spaghetti, vegetable stew, pork chop skillets, steaks, white bean soup, fried chicken, bean chili, onion gravy, pork ribs, honey glazed ham, all sorts of mouthwatering goodness. The room smelled so amazing and flavorful. Beast Boy nearly fainted from how good everything was overloading his senses, even though he was vegetarian. As they sat down, they were about to dig in until Alfred coughed.

"Friends of Master Richard, allow me to introduce you to Master Bruce." When they saw him, he was like whenever they saw him on the news or magazines. Dressed in what looked like a casual suit, the man before them looked equally handsome and intimidating. At first glace, one could easily just think he's a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, but given the revelation he's Batman, they couldn't help but gaze at him with more awe and respect than a group usually would. But their faces of awe went away when it appeared that he was not happy to be not only here, but meeting them specifically. Like he had something better to do than talk to teenagers.

"Hello. So you're my ward's little team, huh?" He spoke in a tone of judgement, evaluating them before they even spoke. Richard's eye twitched in response. "In a certain circumstance, I would've liked meeting you formally but this is not it."

"Harsh." Garfield commented.

"Master Bruce, please show respect for Master Richard's friends. He's only been here once since leaving and even then I didn't even get to see him. I'd very much wish you didn't shoo them away." Alfred expressed. Bruce didn't say anything until he sighed designingly.

"Fine. Richard already told me everything so let's just have a good dinner." Once they were all seated, Alfred allowed them to eat, though they were thrown off by how sloppily he ate. Using his hands, eating with his mouth open, letting his jacket sleeves get covered in stains, it was messy looking.

"Master Garfield, if you would please use utensils and a napkin." Alfred tried suggesting to the young lad. He looked a bit guilty but Rachel came to his rescue.

"Alfred, there was a time he lost his powers because he became to civil and sophisticated. So excuse him for eating like an animal."

"Thanks Rach." Garfield expressed gratefully. She smiled and blushed. They all ate quietly until Bruce asked,

"So Robin, how has your time in Jump City been?"

"Better than after Joker shot me. I've grown a lot since then. I not only had a team to fall back on, but a family."

"A family that didn't need to know who you were nor I for that matter."

"I was the only one left that they didn't know who I am under the mask."

"Even taking the risk of telling about yourself, you had no business revealing mine."

"They figured it out themselves."

"Because you told them too much."

"Please, can we stop with the hostile banter?!" Starfire pleaded. Everyone turned to her. "We have simply come to see what it was like for Robin growing up here. Maybe it was not his place to indirectly say who you were, but he told us who he was because he trusted us. We have been through so much as friends. As a team. As a family. It is also not like have not gone through the ships that were hard as well. Distrust, self-doubt, betrayal, even situations that were apocalyptic. But we are all here together still, because we have an unbreakable bond forged so strongly nothing could ever break us apart. So please, even if you dislike us being here, do not blame Robin or us for it. Surely you have shown your identity to others other than Alfred and Tim, yes?" The two stared into each others' eyes, the room silent with anticipation. Raven, Beast Boy, Jinx and Cyborg looked at each other awkwardly as they waited for Bruce to respond.

"Robin..." He finally said, getting the Boy Wonder's exact attention. "...you really have grown with them, haven't you?"

"Yes. They don't just help me get through the day, they help fulfill my life. Kori, my Starfire, is even my girlfriend, after all that we've been through." Robin took Star's hand, making her smile. Bruce kept his steely gaze for just as long of a time before the slightest smile, only visible to those nearest to him could see.

"It seems quitting did you some actual good. Alright then. While I'm still annoyed that they know who I am, especially your Jinx friend considering her background and relative newness to your team, I won't make any further complaints."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about me selling you out Mr. Wayne." Holly assured, resuming her tough girl attitude. "I'd assume you know that I've been blacklisted as a villainess, so no organization would let me in. They'd even call me crazy and tell me to get lost if I said I knew your identity."

"I do. I was just testing is all. Now, let us properly dig in." With everything finally good now, everyone at the table ate well.

As Richard packed things into his old room for the night, he heard a knock. "Yes?"

"May I enter?"

"You can always come in." He replied. Kori came in, and closed the door behind her. "What is it?"

"You were shot by the Joker?" Richard hoped he didn't have to explain that, but sighed. After showing them this much, why not a scar that all but severed ties to Batman? "I do not recall seeing scars while you are in swimwear."

"It's covered in the same stuff that concealed my face. And...yes. It was like any encounter until he got me right here." Richard pointed to a certain area. "I was sidelined, and apparently he didn't think I could spring back and considered firing me. Take away my identity of Robin. So I ran away."

"Robin." Starfire said, her hearts aching for her boyfriend. He turned to her, and focused on the door.

"Come on in. I know you're eavesdropping." A cry of pain was heard from Garfield before all the other teens came in.

"I'd say sorry for eavesdropping, but since we deliberately did it." Rachel shrugged.

"We just want to be there for you bro." Victor said.

"I can certainly sympathize. If I was trained to be Jinx and was on the verge of having that taken away just because of one bullet, I'd run away too to be Jinx. Then again I'd be hunted down by Brother Blood but, that's not the point." Holly remarked. "Sooooo...how did it go between you two before dinner?"

"It...could've gone better. He questioned me about when I was an apprentice to Slade and tried to steal something from him. We got into a back and forth about who was right about my leaving, and we only stopped because you guys were waiting. But...even though he said he won't complain...I still think he sees me in the wrong. That I am still nothing more than a sidekick who found people who listen to me and treat me like a leader. He smiled, but I could still see a look in his eyes. We're not done."

"Dude, you are not just another titan. Not just our leader. It's like what Star said in the dining room." Cyborg said.

"We look to you for guidance." Starfire told her boyfriend.

"Inspiration." Raven added.

"Hey, with Cy's help, you even let a villain become a hero. Not every hero does that." Jinx stated with appreciation.

"You say Rave's the most hopeful person, but you're the one that's always pushing us for a better tomorrow dude." Beast Boy finalized. Robin smiled and rubbed tears away from his eyes.

"Thanks guys. Don't worry about giving me a group hug. I feel much better already." Understanding, they all went to leave, but Richard grasped Kori's hand.

"Kori?"

"Yes?"

"If just for tonight, could you sleep with me? I could use someone to cuddle with as I go to sleep." He felt somewhat awkward asking, but that just made her giggle.

"Of course."

A/N: Man, getting through this took a while. This is quite heavy stuff. Eris, I love your ideas, dang near all of them. But why shouldn't Raven be able to fix up Beast Boy's appearance, even if just temporary? I mean, canonically speaking, if she can revert Cyborg back into being completely human, then simply changing BB's skin pigment and slight modifications to his physical structure should be even easier. I did write a way where his powers could interfere, just not as much. Just saying. Even if it's not featured in this story, the possibility still stands. Man, quite the past few chapters have been serious. Back stories back to back. At least once I'm done with this two parter I can do some sillier episodes. Tell me what you think in the reviews below. Thank you.
