A/N: How come no one likes to review things anymore? It kind of frustrates me because I want to know how my fan fic is coming along but no one tells me anything. But I'm going to keep going with this fic even with so little reviews. And thanks to those people who did review! Please R&R! Thanks!

Disclaimer: Don't own anything from Batman or the Teen Titans. Heck, I don't even own Lilly or Amelia.

Chapter 3 You Failed

"I thought that we were going to the park," Amelia said to Richard as they walked up next to an old run down warehouse. "This place looks scary."

"I'm with her," Josh said from where he was hiding behind Richard's legs. "Do we really have to train in there?"

"Baby!" Lilly snapped at Josh and this made the boy jump. Both Alex and Richard sighed while rolling their eyes. "I like this place," Lilly said with a wicked smile coming to her face.

"Figures," Richard muttered while walking into the building. The others quickly followed behind him. The building was dusty and old. No one had been in it since some stupid villain had used it as his head quarters. Robin thought it would be a perfect place to train his team. No one would see them.

"Now," Richard said while taking off his shirt to reveal that he was wearing his Robin uniform under his school clothes. He had no time to change that morning when he got home, so he had kept them on. Robin put on his mask and then looked to his team with a smile. "Lesson one. Come at me and give me all you got. When one of you gets this lucky penny then you have learned the lesson and we can move on."

"Too easy," Lilly said while folding her arms in front of her. She gave Robin a smug smile, and the others nodded in agreement. They knew that their leader was worn out from no sleep while they were all rested up. And all knew that Robin had no powers.

"Don't be fooled," Robin said while flipping the penny in the air and catching it before it landed on the ground. "The lucky penny has magical powers," he said with a sneaky smile on his face.

"Really?" Josh and Amelia asked him at once. Of course, they were the gullible ones of the group. This only made Alex roll his eyes again while Lilly laughed at their stupidity.

"Wait and see," Robin said with a playful smile.

"That stupid penny is mine!" Lilly suddenly yelled while throwing herself at Robin. She jumped into the air with a loud battle cry. The kick could have been seen a mile away, and Robin easily dodged it with that smile still on his lips. He grabbed Lilly by the shoulder and swung her around so that Alex hesitated before throwing a fireball at him.

"Hitting your own team member makes you get a timeout, Alex," Robin said to the boy. Alex frowned and threw another fireball at Robin that he dodged. "I said timeout, Alex," Robin said while taking out some handcuffs from his belt. He moved so fast that the kid had no idea that he was handcuffed until Robin had tied a rope around his chest and used one of the hooks hanging from the ceiling to suspend the boy there.

"Hey!" Alex yelled at his leader with anger in his voice. Robin smiled when he had finally broken the kid's cool for the first time.

Robin waved the coin in Alex's face while saying, "Arrogance is not the best thing in a team, Alex. Come down to earth and see yourself as one of the others or this will happen during every time you fight for now on. Get over yourself."

Alex just barred his teeth and said nothing. He hated to admit that he was prideful, but his stubbornness always got in the way. He always thought he was better than the others and even his leader. He hated it when everything was coming back at him and slamming him in the face.

"Take this!" Amelia yelled while finally working up the guts to come at Robin. The teen saw her coming at the last second and did a few back flips to get out of the way. Amelia was quick and came back at him with a swift roundhouse kick. Robin smiled while grabbing her ankle and twisting the girl's body so that she was facing the opposite way.

"Wait!" Amelia yelled in panic. Robin pushed her away, and she went tumbling down with a high pitched scream. She slowly got up and looked up at him with sadness on her face while saying, "This is too hard. What is the point of going after you?"

"You have great form," Robin said to her while dusting himself off. "But I don't like quitters. Suck it up and come at me again."

"But there is no point!" Amelia said with anger in her voice now.

"Go tell that to Lilly," Robin muttered. He stepped to the side and smiled when Lilly ran past him and crashed into Amelia with a loud 'uuff'. Robin sighed and dodged five more quick attacks from the wild girl. He then got serious, and in one swift move he had Lilly pinned down on the dirty ground.

"Don't be so eager to attack your opponent," Robin said calmly to her. "Try not to be the first one to attack. Don't throw caution into the wind all the time. And another tip, Lilly," he said smugly, "You're not the whole team. Remember that."

"You need to stop acting like you know what you're doing," Lilly said to Robin. Her leader frowned as she went on. "It is clear that you have no clue what you're doing. You don't know one thing about being a leader, so stop acting like you do!"

"Good strategy," Robin said with a smile. He started to tie her up and carried her over to where Alex was trying his best to get out of his binds while still dangling a few feet in the air. Lilly started to shout and kick, but Robin was not affected by her actions. Lilly was quickly right beside her other team member in the same situation.

"Now," Robin said to Lilly with his hands on his hips. "If Batman said that kind of thing to me it would have ticked me off so bad that I would have attacked out of anger and that would be bad. But you're not Batman, so right now I don't take what you say seriously. But you do have some talent of picking at someone's weaknesses. It might come in handy someday during a fight."

"Freak!" Lilly yelled at Robin as he walked away. She started to kick her legs to try to break free. This only made Alex get angry, and he glared at her to stop. Robin jumped on top of some dusty boxes and sat there watching his team figure out what to do. Amelia was in the corner sulking from what she thought was defeat. Alex and Lilly were still struggling to get out of their binds.

"Where's Josh?" Robin asked himself while looking around the warehouse with confusion. "He was here just a few seconds ago." The leader suddenly became very alert for any sound that would give him a hint to where the boy had gone to.

Robin gave a small chuckle when he saw for a few seconds Josh's shirt in the middle of the warehouse. He had thought that the kid had turned invisible to get the penny with a surprise attack. Josh was really hiding from him out of fright.

"Josh!" Robin yelled down to the boy. He waited for a few seconds till Josh weakly answered him while still invisible. "Why are you hiding?" Robin asked him. "You're team is in trouble and you do nothing. Don't you want this penny?"

"No," Josh answered. "You'll beat me up just like the others."

Robin frowned while hearing this. "You guys," he said for all of them to hear. "I'm not your enemy. I'm your leader. I don't want to hurt you guys. I just want to make you think like a team, and right now you all are failing. I can't just give you the answers to this test."

The kids were too stubborn to learn their leader's lesson. After a few minutes of absolute nothing from the kids, Robin gave a sigh and jumped off the boxes. He then came down hard on his team. They needed to be punished for their bad behavior that afternoon.

"You guys fail," Robin said to them sternly. He took out a bird-a-rang and cut down Alex and Lilly. They both looked down in defeat as the other two walked up to Robin. "Get down and give me 50 pushups right now!" he commanded them while folding his arms in front of him.

"That's not fair!" Amelia said. "I didn't do anything."

"Precisely," Robin said to her with a wicked smile coming to his face. "Now, give me my pushups!"

"He's a freaking Nazi!" Lilly whispered to Alex while getting down and doing her pushups. Alex gave a sigh and ignored her. Josh obeyed his leader right away to avoid getting yelled at. After some pouting, Amelia finally gave in.

"My only order was to behave when with Alfred," Robin said to them. His voice was harsh and had a sharp tone to it. He glared down at the four kids struggling to do what he had told them to do. "I came into my house today only to see Lilly on fire because of Alex. Amelia and Josh are screaming their heads off and doing nothing! Disobey me like that again and you will be doing double this many pushups!"

Batman looked down to Robin sitting beside him in the Bat mobile. He gave a small smile when he saw the teen yawn while staring out the window silently. He was really tiered, but he was trying his hardest to not show it in front of him. He had determination; Batman would give him credit for that much.

"So how is your team?" Batman asked him finally while cracking the silence.

"Fine," Robin said with a cocky smile. "After a week I'll have them trained."

"Really?" Batman asked him with a raised eyebrow. He didn't believe one word of it.

"Yep," Robin said while trying to desperately hold back a yawn. "Whoa, slow down, Batman," he said while suddenly becoming alert.

"I saw it," Batman said while parking in a dark alley way. They both quickly jumped out of the car and used their grappling hooks to get them on top of the building beside them. They made their ways back to the warehouse they had seen all the police cars parked next to. They snuck into the building by the ventilation system.

"What is it?" Robin asked Batman with confusion. They both were in the rafters staying hidden from the all the people rushing around by blinding into the shadows. "Looks like a murder."

"Serial Killer," Batman said quietly. "She struck a few nights ago when you didn't come along for patrol."

"She?" Robin asked while tilting his head to the side. "How can you tell?"

"I'm not sure if it is a she," Batman answered. "But the knife wounds on the last victim looked like they took a long time to do it to that person. Usually men are stronger than woman so they tend to only take a few hits before they cut through bone or it could take just one strike. This person's wounds looked like they had hit the place a lot more."

"Who is the serial killer targeting?" Robin asked Batman after a few seconds of digesting this information. Batman said nothing at first. Robin looked up to him and waited till he finally told him.

"Young male teens," Batman said while glancing down to Robin.

"Poor kids," Robin said quietly while looking back down to the new victim covered up with a white cloth. Red stains of blood covered the body in different places. Robin noticed that a leg and arm was not on the victim and a shiver went down his spine. Gotham City had some really crazy people in it.

He didn't notice Batman looking down at him with some worry on his face. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he lost Robin that way. Robin was like Batman's light side. He was the colorful sidekick that Batman liked to have around. As Richard, he was the spark in the family. Even though Richard wasn't his real son, Bruce still loved him as much as his very own.

"There is no more we can do here," Batman said.

"Okay," Robin said with a stiff nod. He gave a big yawn after Batman went up the ventilation shaft to the roof. He stole one last look of the bloody teen then followed after the Dark Knight.

Richard woke up with a small gasp. He looked up to Mr. Lairs with a small grimace. He had fallen asleep in the teacher's class by mistake. His punishment for this was much like the other one from the day before. But Richard had missed his bus once again, and he could kill himself for it. His team would be getting home right about now, and he had to be there.

Dick walked out of the school in panic mode. How was he to get home now? Bruce and Alfred would have his head if he didn't come home on time. Those kids could be such a handful! Richard did the only thing his head could come up with quick enough. He ran.

The young teen took off in a sprint down the sidewalk at top speed. He was pretty fast for his age because of all the training he did with Bruce whenever they had the chance. His backpack was a big nuisance as he kept on running. He had a ton of homework once again, and the boy didn't think he would ever get some real sleep in a long time.

Suddenly a car drove up in front of the teen sharply and stopped. Richard gave a sharp yelled while trying his best to put on his brakes. He slammed into the side door of the car, and his head was thrown into the open window. He came face to face with Bruce.

"Need a ride?" Bruce asked his son with a smile playing at the corner of his lips. He loved to surprise Richard like this, and he knew that his son would not take him up on that offer for the first couple of tries. Dick had a huge pride issue that Bruce loved the pick at. Like father, like son.

"Why the heck did you do that?" Dick yelled at his father while backing up a few steps. "Do you want me to break your car door or something like…well, I don't know…my bones maybe? And no, I don't need a ride!"

"Why are you so mad at me?" Bruce asked him. He became serious real fast as he asked, "Why aren't you on your bus? What did you do in school today?"

"Nothing!" Dick said quickly. He tried to avoid anymore questions by going around the car, but his dad simply drove forward to stop him. Bruce gave him a serious look and frowned at him. Dick hated to be defeated so quickly, but lately he had no strength left to fight anyone.

"I…I fell asleep in History class," Richard muttered. As he said this, he scratched the back of his head and smiled weakly at his father. He was a bit surprised when Bruce only smiled slyly at him that was like a billboard saying "I TOLD YOU SO!"

"Can I go now?" Dick asked Bruce with his voice pleading to be let free.

"What about a free ride from your loving father?" Bruce asked him.

"No thanks," Richard muttered.

"You know you want to ride with me," Bruce said smugly. "You're such a stubborn kid."

"So what?" Dick asked his father while starting to walk away.

"What about your team?"

Richard stopped in his tracks as he had to swallow his pride. He gave a sigh and turned around. He cringed before saying, "You win…for now."

A/N: This chapter is short compared to chapters of my other fan fictions. I hope you people like it so far. It is not as good as my other fics because this one is just for fun and the others are more serious. But please give a review! Thanks!
