Thanks to all those who commented. This was just meant to be a one shot but since people like it I might as well continue
Don't own anything
Enjoy
Every time for the past few days when Robin entered a room it fell silent. It was that kind of silence that just screams 'WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOU' to the person who just enters.
Robin didn't like the way the team were reacting. He had told them his name and now they seemed to want to baby proof everything for him.
He was considering leaving and would have if the day hadn't turned out the way it did.
It was New Years Eve and even in the silence they had decorated the Titan Tower with banners and other decorations.
Starfire was flying all over the place trying to make everything look nice in her eyes (although to everyone else she was over doing it thoroughly. In a way it was like a two years olds drawing, they think the more colour and more they add onto the picture the prettier it looks while to everyone else it looks like a huge mess but of course, no one would admit that to Starfire).
Beastboy and Cyborg were playing racing games as usual but were sulking. Starfire had banned them from eating until meal time so they could celebrate properly. Raven was meditating in the corner and Robin was sitting on a spare sofa.
It was around 9am and there had been no alarms or warnings about any crime happening in Jump City so everyone just sat there. Robin started contemplating in his mind where he might go if he left. His thoughts were drawn to a sudden close when there was a knock at the window.
Everyone looked up to see where the noise had come from and Robin instantly recognised the smiling face of Superman.
Jumping out of his seat Robin ran over to the window and opened it letting the man of steel into Titan Tower.
"Hey, there shorty" Superman joked as he watched Robin have to reach to open and close the window.
Robin gave a fake gasp pretending to be insulted and then laughed.
"You know," he said, "I haven't grown much in the past few days of not seeing you."
Superman chuckled as he remembered Christmas day. He looked at the boy in front of him and although he seemed happy he didn't look the same happy he looked a couple of days ago. He could almost say he looked unhappy. Superman thought it best to voice his opinion.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Batman had obviously been giving Superman some classes on face reading Robin thought to himself.
"Nothing," Robin lied. He hated lying, especially to those he cared about.
Superman raised an eyebrow. He didn't believe the child and looking around at Robin's team mates he knew that Robin wouldn't say anything around them. He decided to take him out.
"Get into civilian ID and we'll go out," suggested Superman.
Robin looked at the man guessing he was up to something but then he nodded and went to get changed. Minutes later Dick Grayson left Titan tower and met Clark Kent by the door.
Finally Dick suggested a nice place to eat and although both boys had eaten within the last few hours they still went to a pizza place and ordered large pizzas.
When they had ordered and Clark knew they would be uninterrupted for the next five or so minutes he finally spoke.
"What's wrong?" when he said it his voice was firm. He stared at the boy showing that he wouldn't take 'fine' for an answer.
"This and that," Dick said honestly. When he looked up at the older superhero he realised that that wouldn't be enough and sighed, "when my team saw me in civvies they reacted badly. They became really over protective and I couldn't do anything without them watching. They made sure that I didn't touch a bad guy when we went to go sort out a robbery." Dick moaned in annoyance as he remembered the thought.
Why couldn't they just trust him he thought to himself.
Clark listened to the boy as he complained about his friend's reactions and considered how to help.
"When my last team found out about it they did the same thing, it wasn't fair. I couldn't do anything and whenever I complained to Bruce he was either really busy or didn't seem to be listening. The one time he did listen he looked almost happy that I wasn't fighting. It was like being wrapped in bubble wrap. You can't move or get do anything..."
The boy continued to rant.
Finally after a few minutes he was out of breath from ranting and stopped taking several deep breaths. Clark took this opportunity of silence to speak.
"Have you talked to them about it?" Clark asked. Dick nodded, from the look on the teenager's face he guessed that they hadn't really taken any notice of what Robin had said to them and continued being protective.
Clark sighed and then came up with an idea.
"Do you want me to talk to them?"he asked. When he said this Dick looked up as if thinking about the idea.
Clark continued, "I could tell them that you've been doing this for years, show them that in the time you've been together you've been the strongest one of them and, you know, just tell them to stop being pains."
Dick grinned at the last thing and thought about the idea some more. Finally he nodded.
At that same point two large pizzas came out and both Dick and Clark grinned at their portion of food and started to eat. After that they talked about things they had discussed at dinner and things they hadn't discussed.
All in all after that chat the mood lightened up and Richard Grayson knew that his friends would be back to normal and he also knew that even after he left he was still best friends with the kryptonian.
What do you think?
Crap, ok, good?
Do you think I should continue?
Please tell me
Thanks
