Sometimes when we do something wrong the last people we want to learn about it is our parents. Seeing as they raised us and take the blame on themselves and lecture us that "they raised us better" or 'What's the matter with you?'. Other times they give us the worst treatment…the silent treatment.
It pains us the most because when they don't say anything, they don't want to talk to you, they don't even want to look at you, when they yell at least their not so displeased to ignore you existence.
The very last person Robin ever wanted to learn about his new imprisonment was Bruce Wayne… but he couldn't prevent it from happening ether, considering Slade wanted him to still something from 'Wayne Enterprise'. The very building that he owned.
Laying Starfire down on the Ground of the top of Wayne Enterprise, Robin looked around.
The 'A' and 'Y' in the giant "Wayne" had been completely knocked over, and the 'E' was flickering as if the light had been broken…Robin had no idea that the fight had been that messy.
Robin then looked at his friends, all lying on the ground. Slade had stopped the probes from killing them, but they were all still knocked out. He looked at Raven, her hair was messed and her skin was paler then usual. Cyborg, he was lying there like a broken down computer… Best Boy… innocent, sweet Beast Boy was busied and scraped…
And Starfire…She didn't have any outer damage, but her face was tear stained and her mouth was slightly opened.
After looking gat his friends he looked at the 'Wayne' sign again.
"What have I done?" Robin thought. "I'm so sorry…please, try to understand."
When people get into fights with their friends, there's a filling that builds up in our gut and then moves to our heart…a felling that tell us we were wrong for ruining such a perfect thing. Usually we make up with our friends, other times we hold on to our pride and never speak to them again, but cry in the night wonder why we did it…but know it's too late to come back.
Robin knew it was too late. Even if his friends realized why he did it, they would always be afraid of him, and never trust him again because he didn't tell them what was going on…and even if they did, even if they did find out, even if they did understand, and even if they did forgive him…the felling of betrayal would still be there.
Slade wasn't only making him betray his friends…he was making him betray his Father…
Break-
RINGThe phone echoed through out the giant house.
RING
Bruce Wayne looked up from what he was doing and reached over to answer the phone that was sitting in front of him on his desk.
"Hello?" he asked into the phone. Expecting it to be some sales person (because they were the only ones who called in the middle of the night) He picked his pen up again and looked down at his work.
"Mr. Wayne?" asked a male voice.
"Yes." Bruce answered.
"I'm calling from Wayne Enterprise." The man continued. "There's been a break in."
"Oh'?" he asked. Bruce wasn't shocked; Wayne Enterprise was constantly being broken into.
"Any idea who did it?" Bruce asked almost lazily.
"Our cameras were able to film the people when they went to the roof." Answered the man. There was a silence on the other end, and then the faint sound of typing, the man was most likely checking the computers to look at the tapes. "Yes we got them. Well by the way it looks, it looks like only one stole and the others tried to stop. But we can't be sure."
"What do you mean?" Bruce asked. He was getting a little more interested, sounded like a confusing steal.
"Well there's one kid, holding the stolen object, and there's four other kids fighting with him."
Bruce stopped from writing in his work, and looked up, suddenly completely interested in what the man had to tell him. "Kids?"
"Yes sir." There was sound of typing again. "Wait. Make that, teenagers. We've identified the people. And you won't believe it!"
The man sound amused. "Who are they?"
"The Teen Titans sir."
Bruce dropped his pen. His mouth fell open with shock. No. It couldn't be.
"Mr. Wayne?" the man asked.
"Are-are you sure?" Bruce asked in complete shock. His voice was shaky and hoarse.
"Yes sir." The man answered. "They were fighting one of their members…whoa…"
"What!" Bruce yelled.
"The one who was stealing…" The man answered. Then he started to laugh. "It's that Boy Wonder, Robin!"
Bruce felt his heart stop. No. That couldn't be true… IT COULDN'T!
"THAT'S A LIE! ROBIN WOULDN'T DO THAT!" Bruce had even gotten out of his chair, and was yelling in the phone.
"I- I'm saying what's here Mr. Wayne. Don't kill the messenger." The man stuttered.
"I will! BECAUSE YOU'RE LYING TO ME!" Bruce roared.
"Here. I'll fax over the camera shots." Then there was a loud beep.
Bruce fell back in his chair. No. It couldn't be his Robin… Not the teen that was all for Justice, and what was right. Robin would never steal.
It probably was not the smartest thing to do by yelling at the man, considering Bruce didn't want anyone finding out he was Batman, but he couldn't help it. It just came.
There was a loud Beep-bu-beep, from his fax machine. Getting up on shacking legs, Bruce walked to the other side of the room. Bruce watched at a few sheets of paper came out of the machine. Bruce slowly picked up the papers, and felt sick to his stomach.
There, right in his hands, was proof that the man was telling the truth. Robin stealing something, Robin beating up his friends, Robin, jumping of the building and fleeing from the seen of the crime, Robin, Robin, ROBIN!
"What have you done?"
What would people do if they knew that the 'Boy Wonder' wasn't perfect, what would they do if they knew that he was just a kid, if he had no true power? What would they say if they knew the pain of his past? And of the pain of his present.
Would they still look at him as a hero?
Robin didn't even look at himself as a hero anymore, he saw himself as a criminal. A villain. Steal from his father, hurting his friends… why had he let this happen.
Because, he wanted Slade. Because he was an obsessed freak who could never just relax and have fun. Because he had a team of four he had to watch over and protect. Because he wanted to be the one to bring Slade down. Because he wanted to know that it was he who but the man behind bars… because….
Because he was more like Slade then he thought.
Robin felt that if he didn't do something, if he didn't keep fighting, he would become Slade…From the inside out…
Alright, I have a question, if you remember how the fight seen with Slade and robin went in the show could you please tell me? I forgot, and I may just have to make it up and it may ruin the story…THANKS FOR READING!
By the way, sorry it's so short!
