Disclaimer: So I don't own Young Justice…
So here is Robin meeting Commissioner Gordon. I felt like I had to do him before I did someone else who has the same last name. Hmm… I wonder who that would be? Well I'll let you all guess. :)
Meeting Commissioner Gordon
Commissioner Gordon was tired. He wanted nothing more to do than to go home, have dinner with his family and go to bed. However Gotham was not giving him that option today. Killer Croc had escaped from Arkham and was now causing Riddle Hell. It was a nightmare.
Then there was a rumor that the Batman had a partner. Not just a partner a child partner. A child? What was the Batman thinking? Maybe Bane had given the Batman one too many hits to the head. If the rumors were true Gordon was going to give Batman hell when the stupid Bat got to the top of the police building. The signal had been blaring for at least 5 minutes which was strange as Batman generally got there quicker.
"Killer Croc has broken out," came the deep voice of Batman.
"Can't put anything past you," Gordon sighed turning around. Batman was standing in the shadows something about him seemed off. He seemed angrier than normal. Something around him was screaming dangerous. "Something wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing. What did you call me here for?" he demanded. Suddenly Gordon noticed something move under Batman's cape.
"Um… Killer Croc," Gordon stated trying to ignore the movement under Batman's cape. Finally it got to him, Killer Croc could wait a few more seconds. "What is under your cape?" Gordon finally asked. Batman seemed to think for a moment. Then he opened his cape to reveal a small boy clad in a red tunic, green booty shorts, green pixie boots, green gloves and a bright canary yellow cape.
"Robin introduce yourself," Batman said. Robin jumped from Batman's leg and he looked up at Gordon his eyes hidden behind a domino mask. The boy looked a few years younger than his oldest. What was a child doing in this line of work?
"Hello Commissioner Gordon," the boy introduced. "I am Robin," he added. "The Boy Wonder. The official partner of the Batman."
"It's nice to meet you," Gordon said shaking the boy's hand. This was still unacceptable. Gordon gave Batman a long glare that was obviously stood for 'We'll talk later,' and then got back on topic. "Killer Croc is holding hostages at the City Bank. Wants some money to spend to celebrate his escape. He wants free passage and he'll let the hostages go," Gordon explained. He turned and looked out on the city a sinking feeling Batman would be… "What next?" he asked turned back. Gone. He should have known.

Gordon was busy manning the doors of the bank. Batman and his new sidekick were inside busy taking care of Croc. The hostages had managed to escape. They were telling the police that the boy had gotten the out in secret while the Batman was distracting Killer Croc. Robin had seen them as far as the first police officer then rushed inside to help his mentor. Gordon thought on it some… Batman and Robin, that had a different ring to it. Batman the Dark Knight and Robin the Boy Wonder… Batman had been rumored to be nicer to lower class criminals recently. Maybe the little kid had something to do with it.
Suddenly Killer Croc burst out of the bank in a rage. Batman and Robin followed him. Gordon stood in awe at the teamwork they had. They were a well-oiled machine they didn't need to speak they just worked. They were both serious, in the moment. Robin seemed to be as dark as Batman while fighting, sure he seemed brighter and happier, but still dark menacing. Killer Croc made a run towards the line of Gotham PD started to sweep them aside.
"Robin!" Batman yelled. Robin nodded and flipped into the air with such grace. Robin tossed a gas pelt down at Killer Croc causing the creature to take a few steeps back waving his arms back and forth. Gordon realized that one of the arms was coming towards him. Robin seemed to realize it too and jumped pushing Gordon down and was instead tossed like a rag doll towards a cop car. There was a thud and Robin was motionless on the ground. Gordon heard a yell of rage and looked up to seem something snapped in Batman. It was quicker then Gordon had ever seen. Batman took out Killer Croc in less then five minutes. Was it because Robin was injured… Robin! Gordon rushed towards Robin while his men rushed to take care of the unconscious mutant creature, Batman helping them.
Gordon got to Robin realizing that Robin had saved him. This boy was obviously different if he wanted to run around in booty shorts with the Batman. Robin was well trained and ready. However Gordon was still furious that the Batman took a child sidekick.
"Hey Robin," Gordon said shaking the kid a bit. Robin groaned and looked up.
"Hello Commissioner," Robin said sitting up only to wince and hold his ribs. "Something's bruised," he muttered shifting his position only to regret that. "Nope, broken," he hissed.
"Take it easy," Gordon instructed. "Deep breaths," he added. Robin nodded and took slow deep practiced breath. "You're good at this," he added. Robin gave a cackle only to wince. "Careful," he said. "So how old are you?" he asked.
"Nine," Robin answered. "Nine and a half," he corrected quickly.
"Nine and a half, impressive," Gordon smiled. Robin smiled up at him. "You were really brave," he added.
"Thanks," Robin said sounding winded.
"Do you like being Batman's sidekick?" Gordon asked.
"Partner," a deep voice corrected. Gordon turned to see Batman looking down at them. Robin smiled up at his mentor who in return, to Gordon's surprise, gave a small smile only to vanish as quickly as it came. Something seemed to exchange between them because Robin laughed only to wince and cause Batman to stiffen.
"I love being his partner!" Robin exclaimed. "He is really nice and takes good care of me and he even…"
"That's enough," Batman said scooping the child into his arms. "Time to go," he added. "We need to have your ribs looked at," he added.
"Okay… Can we have cookies when we get back?" Robin asked. Batman smirked.
"Maybe, no say good-bye and thank Commissioner Gordon for helping you," Batman said.
"See you later Commissioner Gordon and thank you for talking with me!" Robin waved only to wince again. "I need to stop doing that…" Gordon heard the kid mutter.
"No thank you Robin Boy Wonder," Gordon said to the boy. Robin smiled and Batman jumped into the Bat-mobile and was off. Gordon still didn't like that a kid was in the business, at least he knew Barbra wouldn't go do something like this… But still if a kid had to be in the business he was glad it was this one. Gordon knew he was going to like this kid, he could feel it. Something was special about Robin the Boy Wonder. Robin was going to make a fine young hero for Gotham City.
