A.N. I REALLY hope I don't screw this up because I really love this story and I don't wanna ruin it with horribleness. I wasn't actually going to update any time soon, but then Ravinette sent me a review asking me to update and so after about a week of having it, decided too. Oh, AND DID YOU SEE THE AWESOME EPISODES THAT HAD ROBIN IN IT! Oh, and I hope you like this.
"Let's get this over with," Dick said, stretching. Red X watched him do that with interest until he was hit by someone's elbow.
"Ouch!" he whined looking down at his favorite titian. "What was that for?"
"For checking out enemy!" hissed Robin. Red rolled his eyes.
"Half an hour ago, I WAS your enemy," snorted the klepto. Robin narrowed his eyes, but for once didn't have a response. His eyes wandered over to the cage where Garth was trapped. Speedy was resting on it, ignoring the danger of getting electrocuted, holding the blue clad hero's hands. They were staring at each other with so much love; it brought a lump to Robin's throat. He turned away. Red X noticed the action, but didn't comment.
"Alright, everyone ready?" screeched Control Freak. Cyborg nodded and Dick just grimaced.
"Did you hit puberty? Cause your voice must have missed the notice," quipped Dick, opening his eyes wide so he looked as innocent as possible. The effect was kind of ruined by the sarcasm coming out of his mouth. Control Freak started to sputter, but Dick just walked past him with an air of superiority and a smirk. Cyborg followed with a grin.
"Hey, Tiny Robin, when my team kicks your teams ass, wanna come back with us?"
"We're not keeping him," Robin called out warningly.
"Thanks, but no thanks-wait, DID YOU JUST CALL ME SHORT!"
"Please Robin, can we keep the small and adorable smaller version of you?" pleased Starfire, her hands folded and she looked at him with beseeching green eyes. Robin shook his head firmly and she dropped her gaze down to her lap, dejected.
"CALL ME THAT AGAIN I DARE YOU! YOU FREAKING HUNK OF-!"
Artemis watched the scene with narrowed eyes. If Aqualad had said no, any of them wouldn't have quit bugging him about it, but a simple headshake from their leader and they backed down? Pathetic. Well, at least she thought so. If Aqualad treated HER like that, she'd dumb his sorry ass then you can say Batman.
Control Freak, meanwhile, was holding Dick back with his remote, as the boy wonder was thrashing, trying to get to the smirking teen.
"You can't start until I say so!" whined the adult fanboy. Robin looked menacingly at the metal man, but ceased his action. Control Freak cautiously put him back on the ground and hurried back word as if Dick was a wild animal that would attack at any moment. A loud bell went off and the area where Dick and Cyborg stood started to bend and push together. Cyborg and Dick desperately to stay upright. KF rushed to help his best friend when he came in face to face contact with a wall.
"Ouch," KF mumbled into the ground. Starfire rushed forward even though Robin gave her a warning look. She bent forward and hoisted him up with one hand. Instead of giving her the usual flirtatious remark, he just gave small thanks before looking anxiously through the jail like door that had formed from the wall he had crashed into, separating them all from the soon to be combat teens.
Dick and Cyborg managed to stay upright as the empty room transformed into a spacious area with swing sets, monkey bars, slides…
"Out of all the awesome stuff you can do with this room, you made a PLAYGROUND?" came Beast Boys scandalized voice. His statement was followed by a yelp from the shape shifter.
Cyborg cracked his knuckles and sent a cocky grin to his much smaller opponent. "Ready to lose shorty?"
Dick glared at him and gave his own small aleck comment; "What are you gonna do Iron man? Give my computer a virus?" Dick made a brief mistake of looking away from his opponent.
"LOOK OUT!" screeched KF and Dick threw his self to the ground as a sonic beam flew right his head had been.
"Or you could do that," he mumbled to himself and promptly rolled over as a missile nearly hit him.
Young Justice was screaming out encouragements while the titans just cheered on their winning teammate.
"Not feeling the aster. More disaster, heavy on the dis," panted Robin as he managed to squeeze through a tiny slide to avoid being hit by a thrown set of swings.
"What are you rambling about shrimp?" demanded Cyborg, who was getting frustrated by the look alike of his leader.
"Something someone like YOU wouldn't understand," snapped Robin, throwing an exploding bird a rang at him. Cyborg ducked just in time before it exploded. Robin, who was in excellent shape and had amazing stamina and fighting skills, couldn't get a hit on the dude. Stupid thing was the only part that kept him from kicking that guys butt was the machine part of him and that's when he usually hacks it.
Dick mentally punched himself over and over again. He could have saved himself a lot of time and energy!
"Hey tin man," he called as he jumped the monkey bars to avoid the rapidly fired sonic shots, "Have you ever beaten your leader?"
Cyborg gave him a startled look. "No. Oh, Robin, I'm finally gonna have won a fight against you!' he shouted to his friend, grinning widely.
"It won't count moron. That's not me," came Robin' annoyed voice, but there was an under currant of…laughter? Dick didn't have time to delegate as he narrowly avoided getting stepped on.
"Don't count on that," snorted Robin as he ducked onto a swing set. "I'm not down."
"Yet," grinned Cyborg and he shot a set of missiles at Dick, who yelped and put his hands up to protect his face. The swing set went BAM!
"Boo-ya!" Cyborg exclaimed, pulling his arm down in a fist pump. YJ stared in horror where the swing set had stood. KF's face had lost all color and he sagged backward. Starfire who had still been standing next to him quickly grabbed him as he almost collapsed. The rest of the Titians were cheering, but stopped when there was no sign of Dick. Cyborg was now frowning and looking around. His weapons would've hurt him pretty badly, but not kill. Then a familiar cackle flew through the air.
A smirking Robin came flying out of nowhere to land on the metal teen. Cyborg yelped and tried to shake him off, but Robin held on for dear life at the top of Cyborgs head. His hands and feet clenched Cyborg tightly. He looked like he was riding a wild bull.
Red X started to laugh as Robin continued to hold on for dear life. Robin glared at him and looked as if he was about to serve the thief a bloody nose.
"Don't…I'm sorry…he looks like a cat in that position," he gasped out and Robin paused to look. And he cracked a smile. Soon, almost everyone was either laughing or smiling.
"It's not funny guys!" snapped Cyborg, trying to grab the squirming bird. Dick looked as if he was about to puke. He pulled out one of his bird ranges and stabbed them in Cyborg's shoulder. Said male roared in pain and paused for a minute to pull it out. A pause was all Dick needed. He quickly pulled out a small section of wires and officially began to hack Cyborg. He attached all of Cyborgs system to his wrist computer.
"What the hell are you doing?" demanded Cyborg, but as he started to attempt to pull Dick off him, he realized that his arms weren't responding.
"What-," he started to demand again, but then his arm swung up and he slapped himself.
"Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?" snickered Dick, making Cyborg repeat the action several times. There was absolutely no noise from the audience. They were in shock.
After a while of this, he got bored and, ignoring Cyborgs frantic cures, he started making him do the chicken dance.
"Really?" the teen demanded and Dick just shrugged and smiled. After about half an hour of making Cyborg do about everything he could think of, he finally stopped.
"Are you done now?" Robin asked dryly. Dick shrugged and reached for his computer.
"He's done," Cyborg said hastily. Control Freak shrugged and lifted up the bars that separated them. Dick started to walk forward but a dry cough interrupted him.
"Forgetting something?" Cyborg growled. Dick stared at him for a minute before a smile lit up his features. He made Cyborg get up and walk through with him.
KF rushed to him and hugged him hard. Robin watched the display with as strange lump in his thoughts as he thought of his own Kid Flash. A hand landed on his shoulder and he glanced back to see a strangely concerned Red X. Robin glared at him, shoved his hand off, and stalked off to Raven who watched him with an unreadable expression.
"Dude, are you ok?" KF demanded. Dick raised an eyebrow at is best friend, who blushed and released him as he noticed he was still hugging the boy wonder.
"Sweet!" crowed Red and gave the grinning kid a high five. KF didn't fail to notice the way the thief ran an appreciative gaze over Dick's lithe body. KF felt a completely irrational surge of possessiveness.
"Are you going to let me out now?" snapped Cyborg and Dick shot him a winning smile.
"I still haven't gotten back at you for calling me short," he said brightly.
"Why you-," Cyborg started, but Control Freak interrupted him.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" he screeched. Dick just gave him the 'really?' look.
"Who wants to go next?" he asked enthusiastically. The whole team gave him the same dry look. He looked offended.
"Fine be that way. So the next lucky victim- I mean winners is Red X and Artemis!"
