Richard Grayson watched as his parents fell from a high wire when he was twelve. He knew the story behind the 'Tragic Accident that hit The Flying Grayson'. They were threatened by Tony Zucco. When Tony discovered Richard was going to tell the police of what he knew, Tony had attacked and Richard hit his head and gotten amnesia. Most of his memories were regained while he was in the Catholic orphanage. Batman adopted Richard, keeping an important secret from him. Three years after Robin leaves Batman's side, the secret is too troubling to keep hidden. What will Batman do when Robin learns the truth? And what will happen with the Teen Titans?
Rated: T for now…
Takes place just after Robin discovers Slade might still be alive. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's "Haunted", my favorite episode EVER. Go watch it.)
Warnings: Spoiler alert if you never read the comics. Also contains spoilers of the entire series so…Watch the episodes if you haven't already.
Discusses eating disorders/depression/suicidal themes in later chapters, along with mentions of child abuse.
Any pairings are PG romance at most…
This story throws a lot of anger/hate towards Bruce Wayne, but that's not how it will end so you have to read the whole thing :D
Characters: Robin, Batman, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. With mentions of Slade, Trigon, and a few other villains that you should recognize. Also brings up Tony Zucco, John and Mary Grayson, and Introduces a new character.
If you review, I read your stories and will send a shout out so…Rate and Review :D
Enjoy!
Angel opened the black book to a clear piece of paper before designing the costume. She drew a rough copy before putting the pencils down. "Life."
Beast Boy looked up when he heard the whispered word. A figure stepped out of the page, every line was now three-dimensional. She picked up the paper, turning it around in her small hand. The green teen's jaw dropped, "Dude! That's awesome!"
She laughed, "One of my favorite abilities. There's no destruction. Just creation and erasing."
Beast Boy studied the figure with admiration, "Is this your costume?"
She nodded, "I'm not sure about the cape…"
"We could use more capes on the team." He smiled, "You can't sleep on the stairs again. You're going to make your back worse."
"Worse?"
"I saw you looking for through the first aid kit for the hot cold thing. I sort of added two and two." He scratched the back of his neck, "I know Terra's not coming back. If you want to take her room, I'll help you redecorate. I think you're what the team needs. I don't think I could fight strong knowing my childish dreams stopped the team from being the greatest." He decided to press his luck, "Do you maybe want to go out later? After dinner, maybe?"
"What'd you have in mind?"
"The Clash of the Planets is on tonight. We could hang out in here."
"Alright, I'm in." She smiled, then looked up when she heard the elevator moving, "I should start dinner. Tofu burger alright?"
"Yeah! You want any help?"
"Sure. I put all of the dishes in the cabinet, I need six plates, and a butter knife."
Beast Boy nodded, helping as Angel prepared food. The Titans ate silently, It was when Angel was washing dishes when Cyborg spoke up, "Anyone know anyone named Rosella?"
Angel turned to him, confused, "Should I? Is she some sort of criminal I should know?"
Robin had his eyes fixed on the table before he stood up, "Excuse me."
The Titans looked to Cyborg, "Who is Rosella?"
"She came up with some research I was doing. Apparently Robin knows her…"
Angel looked around the room, "Excuse me. I'll be right back."
She sprinted to catch up to Robin, "Who is she, Robin?" He didn't respond. Angel sighed, "You're angry about something. I can tell."
Robin bit his lip, "I think I know who knows."
"Bruce." Robin jumped down from the rafter.
The millionaire turned around, "Giving up on her already?"
"I won't fail like you did. I know you know who Rosella is. Tell me."
"You remembered?" The man was shocked
"Cyborg found the name in the database. Who is she?"
Bruce sat on the back of the sofa, "We tried to get you to remember. The night Zucco knocked you out, you got amnesia. You remembered many things, but some were forgotten. You had a sister, Richard. Her name was Rosella. When you saw her, neither of you two remembered. She's your fraternal twin, Robin."
"Why did you help me instead of her?"
"I tried to help you both. You were put with an all boys home. She was sent to a place in Gotham where she would be safe. Except we didn't know they were hurting her. We changed her identity so Tony wouldn't track her down. He found her two weeks ago, with a court case against her foster parents. Tony stabbed her seven times. She stayed here for five days. Every single day she woke up to a nightmare."
"You let her walk out? YOU KNEW SHE WAS IN DANGER!"
"I know. It's in the past, now. Your sister needs your help. I left her with you because she needs someone to trust. I'm-"
"Too busy. I get it. Well, I guess I'll let you get back to being busy." Robin left the man in his thoughts.
An elderly man walked into the room, "Master Wayne? I heard some yelling."
"He remembered her."
"I'm sorry sir, I don't-"
"Dick. He remembered Angeles."
"What do you think-?"
"That friend of his found the name Rosella in the database. I'm guessing he saw her face and remembered."
How many of you guys saw that coming? I can't post much more today, but I will post first chance I get :D
