Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans would I tell you so you could steal them?

A cold wind blew through the entire city chilling those rare people that were out of there homes. It blew through his hair and made his breath mist. He had goose bumps but he didn't care. It didn't matter. Upon the roof of that building he never felt so alone.

He couldn't tell his friends who he was. He had to keep that secret. That's what "he" said.

Why did he still obey that shadow of a man?!

Why did he still want him to be proud of him?!

Why did he still care?!

He left that life!

He left the life of who he was under the mask. His old life was totally gone since he cut himself off from his normal life.

He missed being normal, but there was no turning back. He couldn't have a real life now.

"That part of me is gone," Robin growled fiercely to the north wind. "Ever since they fell I've been Robin!! Dick Grayson is gone from me!!"

"Do you hear that?!" he yelled to the sky. "Do you see what you've done?! He died when they were taken!! Why were they taken?! Why didn't I see it?!"

Just then shouts rang out from below him. He looked over the edge of the building and saw five men wearing black ski masks stopping a couple on the sidewalk below him.

He saw the man in the front of the group; probably the leader, holding a gun toward the man. Two of the men were walking toward the woman with crowbars in their hands.

Robin knowing what he had to do, put aside his self-pity and dove head first off the building, landing gracefully on his feet, between the two groups.

"You might want to leave them alone," Robin said his cape flowing over his shoulders hiding his bright costume underneath, his eyes shining white beneath his mask.

"Really punk?" the leader asked apparently not scared about his sudden appearance. He turned the gun to point at him. "I think you might want to leave."

The gang members were much larger than him and if he wasn't trained he knew that he wouldn't have a chance.........but he was Robin. He could take them.

He threw the civilians his cape. "Keep this around you both. It'll protect you from any stray bullets."

The woman still seemed to be startled by Robin's sudden appearance but the man put a comforting hand on her shoulder as they wrapped the cape around them.

"It's alright Mary," he said quietly. "He's the leader of the Titan's."

Robin flinched when he heard the woman's name.

Mary

It was his mother's name.

He took a fighting stance and motioned the two thugs with the crowbars to attack.

They did and Robin had one in front of his and one behind him with their crowbars raised and ready to strike. But at the last second he jumped out of the way. They hit each other in the head and they both fell unconscious.

The other two henchmen lunged at him. They didn't have any weapons but they were strong and knew how to fight.

Robin took a few back flips backwards to get away from the man in front of him and landed behind the other man. He sent a kick to the back of the mans head.

The man went down and he was about to attack the last man when he heard a.........

BANG

and a scream.........

Then he felt pain.

He had forgotten about the leader with the gun.

He felt the bullet burrow into his back.

How could that have happened? His cape usually protected his back.........but then he realized that he didn't have his cape on.........he gave it to the civilians.

He fell to his knees trying to apply pressure to his wound. He gritted his teeth willing the pain to go away. He gasped willing himself not to black out.

"Lou," the last henchman standing said to the leader. "We should go." He sounded worried. "You said no one would get hurt Lou. We should go."

Lou didn't move. His gun was still pointed at the wounded vigilante.

"Lou come on!"

"Shut up Matt!" Lou yelled.

"But Lou," Matt pleaded. "I heard that he was The Batman's kid. Now The Batman's gonna get us!"

That seemed to get Lou worried. "Matt grab Jerry and Mike. I'll get John. We gotta get out of here."

They ran to a van parked at the edge of the sidewalk dragging their companions behind them. The doors slammed shut and they drove off into the early morning darkness.

Robin groaned and was bent over on his knees in pain. On hand was on the ground trying to keep him upright, while the other was on still on his back trying to stop the bleeding. He was gasping fro air; he was in so much pain.

The man Robin saved came out from behind the cape and ran to Robin just as his arm gave out and he fell the last few inches to the ground. He rolled the teen over onto his side.

"Honey call an ambulance!" he yelled to his wife.

"No," Robin's weak voice said. "No hospitals."

"What? But........."

"Hit the blue button," Robin said unclipping his communicator from his belt and handing it to the man. His vision was failing and he wouldn't be able to tell the red button from the blue button. "Tell them.........don't involve Batman........."

Robin then fell into a world of darkness; leaving his life in the hands of two complete strangers.

Yay a fight! What does the blue button do? Review if you want more. I will take any reviews I am desperate!!! PLEASE ANYONE WHO READS THIS PLEASE REVIEW!
