Chapter 1:

Dick thinks he had the easiest job as he left his brothers and he hopped into the r-cycle and made his way to metropolis. And considering he have to face head on with his assignment- superman, one might say, he better have the balls to go thru supporting his statement. And since he is a son of batman, dick pretty much have big balls.

Clark kent sleepily made his way back to his apartment after a very busy day juggling between his assignment at work and as superman. He yawn as he remove his coat and put it on the back of the door and -

"Christ on a biscuit!" He jump when his lampshade turn on and out from the shadow a 13 year old kid appeared.

Clark blink and blink yet again at the apparition before him. How this colorfully dress kid manage to blend in the shadow amaze him.

Dick giddy to finally see his idol perform a cartwheel before he breathlessly shove a paper and pen on clark.

"Superman! Can i haz an autograph please!" He said.

Clark who was keeping his hero identity a secret for how long, couldnt school his expression to hide his dismay.

That night...

Dick first made sure that clark was fully asleep before he grab his knapsack and then spread the content on the bed which clark insisted he use. Clark sleep on the couch in the living room. Picking up his pen and notebook, dick carefully write the beginning of a list why batman should trust superman.

It write:

made me say my prayer before i go to bed

The next day...

"Good morning!" Dick chirp as he cartwheel his way to clark.

Clark who haven't fall asleep very well judging by the magnitude of his eyebags manage to -with alarm and quick reflex- catch the stranger after he flip jump cartwheel straight into clark's arms.

"I made us breakfast!" Dick announce after clark tried to use his x ray to peer under dick's domino mask before clark grumble and let go. Clark feel like the kid knew what he is trying to do and was smirking.

Dick hop and hop towards the kitchen with clark following him.

Clark was beginning to be back on his perky, happy self as the day gradually moves on. He demolished his toast while reading the newspaper at the same time.

Dick carefully added another glass of milk to his cereal and exclaimed how fresh the milk taste like.

Clark look offended. "Of course its fresh. I got it all the way from ma's."

He is not surprised when the boy seemed to know about Smallville.

Dick was cackling with joy later as Superman held him as they flew across the city towards Smallville. He almost forgive Clark for refusing his request for patrolling Metro city. Flying is great!

Dick was humming a superman jingle while pretending to fly with both arms extended over his head. He shriek with joy when clark couldn't resist but show off with a dangerous stunt.

"Kid why aren't you afraid?" Superman remark.

Dick snort. " Im not afraid to fly. also i trust you."

"Clark!" Martha finally hug her son as soon as the guy landed. She had been waiting for him after she receive his phone call earlier.

"Ma." Clark hug her a little hard. "This is Robin." He introduce the kid who suddenly seemed shy as Dick clutched Clark's cape.

Dick took a deep breathe before he took a step forward and extend his hand.

" good morning ma'am." He chirped.

"My aren't you a gentleman." Martha cooed as she shake his hand. "Arent you too young to be Superman's sidekick?" She tease.

"Im not his sidekick. Im already partner to someone else." Dick corrected.

"Why dont you go in first Robin. Ma and i am going to talk." Clark suggested.

Dick readjust his knapsack. "Okey." And went inside with a skip.

"What is going on?" Martha demanded as soon as the kid is gone.

Clark explain about getting an approval for a vacation at work and what little information he got from the kid.

They were interrupted when the door sprung open and this time Dick was grabbing another man's hand.

"I fell asleep." Jonathan was blushing furiously. "I woke up as a grandfather though." He joked.

Dick cackled.

"Can i help?" Dick was utterly fascinated watching Jona trying to fix whatever is wrong with the tractor in the barn.

Jonathan grunted his consent while lying down beneath the tractor and glare at all this wires and wassit. "Hand me the wrench kiddo."

Dick grab said wrench eagerly and join the old man under the tractor.

"Whats that called? And that? Man, this is as old as earth! We don't have this in the tumbler " dick babble.

Jonathan discover the only way to shut the kid up is to do a monologue. He was impress at how the kid seemed to listen carefully without growing bored.

After a very animated story involving a tractor and a couple of friends, john realize he was the only one laughing at the funny happenings that happen to him a decade ago.

He check robin and find the lad sleeping with mouth hanging open.

Jonathan's eye soften. "Off to bed with ya lil bird." He murmur as he cradled the small guy to his chest and they went back to the house.

###

Dick was swallowing martha's apple pie as if he was starving. "This is like one of the best day ever!" He gushed before he look at Clark and challenge him to a fork fencing.

Jonathan was laughing at Clark's growing dismay especially since the kid seemed to disarm him with no problem.

"I love your pie grandma!" Dick declare as he hug the woman before he excuse himself and run for his bedroom.

"That kid was brought up well." Martha was truly impress.

##

To keep up the appearance that clark and superman were truly different people, superman continued to appear in metropolis. He just get back from one of his patrol and was inform that robin was in the barn by both his parents who were watching tv.

Clark was alarm when he heard banging coming from the barn. He float over the door and slip in but the banging stop. He was calling for robin as he float from one end to another.

Dick finally cant hold his laughter at how funny clark looks in his agitation. "Look up superman!"

Clark watch horrified when the kid fall several feet before he twist and turn mid air and landed with both feet firmly on the ground with arms raised.

'"Ta da!" He sang pretending to bow and blow kisses to an audience.

"That was dangerous!" Clark bark as he shook the boy in anger.

Dick seemed unimpress. "Watch this s-man!" He said as he turn on the holographic vid stored on his wrist computer. Clark was amaze both at the gadget and the three minute aerial stunt dick was doing on the vid.

"Come on help me setup a trapeze set here please?" Dick beg.

"Uh. Sure."

####

A month seemed to pass by quickly where during that time dick never failed to be helpful, polite and cheerful. He and jonathan exchange corny jokes and puns. He help martha in running errand and cleaning the house. His favorite part of the day though is when superman push him up towards the sky and he will perform flips and twist midair all the while shrieking in joy as he falls. Most if the time after he is done feeding the animals, he would practice his craft in the barn and then perform trapeze acts to relax and cool down.

To celebrate the end of the month and also the end of clark's vacation, that night robin announce that he is going to perform a circus act for them. Clark was cheerful as he tackle his dinner when suddenly the electricity turn off. Before clark could say he got this- a powerful beam of light came from the outside and freeze them.

"Uh-oh!" Dick tried desperately to fuse his living molecules to the chair he was sitting in.

The grown up look at him confused.

A growl from a megaphone came from the outside. "Superman come out!"

Superman gape at batman who look quite magnificent while standing on top of a hovering aircraft. He could sense batman's disapproval as he look at the four people awkwardly fidgeting near the door.

"Let go of my son!" Batman growl when he caught superman's hand on top of dick's shoulder.

Later...

The five were gathered in the living room with the electricity back on. Superman desperately wanted another kryptonite to pinch him just to make sure everything is not a dream. He watch as robin snuggle closer to batman's side as batman took a sip of chocolate and answer martha's inquisition patiently.

" he got his sunny disposition from me of course."

Dick was rolling on the floor with laughter at that. Superman just blink and blink again not understanding if batman actually just made a... joke?

Superman stare openly back and forth from the dark superman to the brightly colorful kid besides him. His parents are sitting opposite batman while he meanwhile hover beside them.

Batman feeling superman's gaze sigh. "What is it superman?"

"What is going on?"

"That id like to know as well." Batman growl as he stand up and grab Robin's hand. Seemed like the parent teacher conference is over.

Dick slumped.

"Ill explain things superman, once im done." Batman look thoughtfully at dick's unhappy expression for a minute before he look at superman. " in the mean time..." Batman throw a mobile at superman "keep this and wait for my call."

Later...

"How ever did that guy raised a nice boy?" Martha said as the three watch the aircraft disappear in the horizon.

Superman was more determined than ever to have batman in the justice league.
