Alright the moment you all been waiting for….I hope….ENJOY!

Robin kicked hard, his locker falling over with a crash, to say he was upset was an understatement. It was like his mind was not his own any longer, the aggression inside of him was taking over and he didn't know why. Sitting down at his work table he ran his hands through his hair and cursed softly under his breath.

"Al would freak if he saw this place", he snapped his attention to his door way and lifted his head at the site of Flash. Rolling his eyes he stood up only pausing slightly at the ache in his body.

"That's why I like staying here sometimes, no fuss", he unclasped his cape and tossed it on his table to emphasize before walking to his book shelf.

"Listen I just wanted to stop by and check on you", Robin looked over to the mentor with a bored stare.

"And what pour me a shot?", he looked to the bottle in Flash's hand, "Im good, don't need a babysitter. Or didn't you hear Batman cleared me for missions?".

"Regardless what you say, those who know you will always care about how your doing", Robin paused and looked over to the older speedster.

"Wow Flash acting like an adult".

"Yuck I know its driving me crazy, I guess it's the recent custody battle thing that's got me all serious. Well anyways have a good night kiddo and stay outta trouble, Wally gives me enough of a heart attack.", he waved and stepped out into the hall, Robin wanted to stop him but he was frozen.

"Custody battle?", he said it under his breath and leaned back against the shelf. Wally's parents had given him up, though he knew they had issues with the older teen having become super human he didn't know that they would actually give him up.

Heading for the door his mind clouded over helping his friend and staying away from him he didn't see Zatana and in turn collided with her. She yelped as she was knocked back, moving quickly Robin grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She bumped into his chest and grabbed his shoulders to finally steady her self.

"Talk about pin ball", she laughed nervously as she looked up at him, Robin settled his hands on her hips as if he were still steadying her, his mind completely blanking at the presence of her.

"Gotta use those moves", a smirk broke across his face as he looked down at her, and she winked before she let her hands slide away from him.

"Are you hitting on me?", he chuckled and removed his hands from her hips as he shifted uncomfortably. He could hack a super computer in half the time it took a IT team, could beat down baddies that were twice his size, but when it came to flirting he was a complete wreck.

"Maybe?", she giggled and pulled her hair over her shoulder to toy with it. Robin watched her and took a deep breath before clearing his throat. "Uhm…you can come in but the place is a mess", he stepped back to let her in.

"Wow, I don't think your cabinet deserved that", he shrugged and walked towards his bathroom.

"It looked at me weird in my defense. I just gotta change, be right back", he vanished behind the door and pulled it closed but the door popped open a few inches. Biting her bottom lip she snuck across the cluttered floor and leaned forward to peek into the room. But the sight she got made her cover her mouth to stop the gasp from escaping her.

There he stood in the middle of the bathroom looking at his reflection, his uniform top laid on the tiled floor, forgotten. His once perfectly sun kissed skin was now marred by thin and thick scars and from what she could make out small burn wounds. Her heart ached as he traced a thicker scar that ran over his pectoral, his domino mask was still in place.

She shook her head at the pained look on his face, but before she could move he turned and caught sight of her. Stepping back as he came forward suddenly she shook her head and kept her hand over her mouth. He threw open the door and stopped as he looked at her, shock evident on his face.

"What are you doing?", she could feel the tears in the corner of her eyes and before she could stop her self she tore out of the room, leaving him alone. Robin punched the door jamb and ripped off his mask as he ran a hand through his hair. "Damn it Zatana, why'd you have to see? Out of everyone, why you?", he felt a tear slide down his cheek as he turned back towards the mirror. His anger over took him and he grabbed a small piece of metal pipe that had fallen to the ground and threw it at the mirror.

As the pipe made contact he listened to the screaming of the braking class, sliding down the jamb to the floor he looked at the ruined reflection. That was when he realized, he was like the broken mirror, he was distorted and destroyed.

'Im in place, how is everyone else?', Artemis waited for the team to respond.

'Robin and M'gann in place', she heard the others respond as well and she nodded before continuing forward. The sudden movement ahead of her made her freeze before tucking behind a tree.

'I have movement', she felt Wally before she saw him as he came to kneel beside her.

'They are surrounding the building, Sports Master's henchmen', she nodded and closed her eyes.

'Game plan Aqua-Lad?', she looked up at the sound of foot steps and she felt Wally's arm wrap around her waist, she turned instinctively into him as he zipped them away from the on coming thug. He released her and she fell back against a tree taking a few calming breaths, she was always left breathless after those encounters.

"Hey what are you two doing over there?", they turned at the sound of another thug that caught sight of them.

'We've been made, M'gann, Robin hurry with the Intel', they both dropped into fighting positions as more thugs happened upon them.

'We are on our way out, who tripped the damn alarm?', Robin growled in his team mates heads.

'Not the time for the blame game lets just get out of here', Aqua-Lad interrupted as he and Super boy dealt with a few henchmen. Robin ran from the building, M'gann flying just above him as they made it for the forest edge.

"Freeze!", they could hear the clicks of safety buttons and Robin twisted mid-run throwing batarangs back behind them. The explosion knocked both of them into the forest, making sure M'gann was alright Robin was to his feet and on the move quickly. But he was suddenly knocked down as a henchman tackled him to the ground, rolling onto his back he tried to face the aggressor. M'gann was in her own tussle against two other thugs who had attacked her once she was knocked to the ground due to the explosion.

Receiving a punch to his jaw Robin growled and moved to knock the man above him off so he could fight better. Robin delivered a quick jab to his ribs the man groaned and curled from the pain. Getting to his feet he backed away but cursed as a slicing pain tore into his shoulder, turning quickly he caught sight of a henchman with a knife in his hand. The pain in his shoulder was quickly forgotten as he attacked the knife wielder.

Dropping the unconscious man to the ground he turned to see M'gann holding her own, as he turned to contact the team a bright light blinded him. His body locked up, and panic set in before her heard the sound of a gun going off. Robin flinched but felt his body being knocked to the ground, looking up he saw Super Boy who wasted no time to take down the armed gunman.

Looking around as he pushed him self up Robin noted that the tea had now regrouped and were fighting together. He watched as they acted without hesitation or doubt, even when injured they did not falter.

'The BioShip is on its way!', M'gann's voice echoed through their heads.

'We will hold them off', Kaldur answered.

Getting to his feet Robin ran at a man who had taken a hold of Zatana and was dragging her away fro the others. Running into him at full force he knocked them both to the ground and Zatana rolled away as Robin grappled with the henchman. She began speaking a spell with deadly venom as the BioShip appeared above them. Shadows wrapped around the enemies holding them still as the team made their way to the ship.

Robin grabbed Zatana and threw down a few smoke pellets before grabbing one of the pulley ropes. M'gann cloacked the ship and took the controls to fly the back to the mountain.

"Is it just me or has it never turned out to just be a recon?", Kid Flash panted as he fell into his seat beside Artemis, the others all nodded in agreement.

The whole trip back Robin had remained silent, he had screwed up and if Super Boy hadn't of been there he would have been back in the med lab, or worse, the morgue. He had been the weak link and unprepared for the fight, even after all of the training he had done just to get back with the team. He was still caught up in the inner hell in his mind. Batman had always told him to hesitate was to get someone killed, tonight he had hesitated and his actions could have gotten someone hurt. In that moment her had decided what he needed to do.

When the BioShip landed in the hanger everyone exited the ship and were met by Batman, Superman, and Black Canary. Robin saw his mentor and snapped, punching the BioShip. Connor glared at him as M'gann winced and grabbed her head.

"What are yo-".

"Robin", Connor silenced as Batman came forward. Robin hit a few buttons on his arm band computer and grabbed it as it disengaged from his arm. Stepping forward he handed the computer to his mentor and took a deep breath.

"I quite", and with that he left the hanger and the team.
