Wow! I am SO SORRY about this really late update! PLEASE forgive me! I was in shock from some news I heard when I was on my trip. Now over it. School is starting soon finally! Ok so hope you enjoy! I own nothing but the idea...sorta. On to the story!

Robin's P.O.V.

I woke up with the back of my head pounding with pain and it was a little foggy. I looked around to figure out where I was. It was all white and the silence was filled with an annoying beeping sound. Ok I am in a hospital. Thats when I felt suction and clips on me and proceeded to take them off. The instant I had done so a nurse came running and her eyes widened and a smile appeared on her face when she realized I was awake.

"I've got several special friends that wants to see you, if thats ok."

I nodded in confusion. and attempted to sit up. The nurse rushed over to me and helped me up. When I was settled she then walked out with a smile. After a minute or two I smelled a certain scent in the air. It smelled of jasmine and fresh kitty litter. I recognized it immediately and smiled. The door slowly opened to reveal someone I hadn't seen in forever. It was Selina Kyle, my makeshift mother. Yea I know she's violent and sneaky and has her own agenda but she cares and shows affection towards those who are important to her. She is not a villain but not a super-hero either. When she and Bruce were dating she always treated me with genuine affection and acted like I was an intelligent adult unlike those other vultures Bruce would date to keep his playboy appearance up. Those vultures were pretty I guess but they were plain cruel and snarky when Bruce would walk away at a party to talk to a business associate.

Not too long after they broke up I was taken by Joker in my civilian identity. Bruce was livid and so was Selina. After Batman did some research he found out where I was and when he was about to leave she, as Catwoman, jumped out of a hiding place and into the car. He asked her to leave and she refused. She insisted on helping to rescue her 'little bird'. The funny thing is she didn't know I was Robin at the time. Anyways they both got to the shed in time to see me about to be squashed like a bug or bird by a Jack in the box. Selina or Catwoman used her feline abilities and pushed me out of the way just in time. Batman came over to help untie me and Catwoman went off. Thats when I heard the Joker yell in pain and knew what was happening. Batman and I rushed over to see her holding Joker up against the wall with her claws out and ready to strike. She heard us approach and when she saw my face she used her whip to tie up Joker. She walked over to me and began to fuss over me. Batman said a few words to Joker in a low voice but I couldn't hear it and then we left. She later figured out my other identity and of course Bruce's but said she had a hunch before. She would never tell anyone our secrets and would help if needed. Ok wow all that flash backing really hurt my head.

Back to the present she sat on the bed with me and gave me a big hug. She let go of me after a minute and ran a hand through my hair.

"How are you doing sport?"

"Fine I guess. What happened?"

Her expression tightened in what I knew was discomfort and pain. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it after a few seconds.

"Was it really that bad?"

"You know the time you and Wally and Roy tried to bake a cake for Alfred's birthday while Bruce was on a trip and Alfred was out?"

I smiled in the memory of Bruce coming home to find cake batter all over the walls of the kitchen. It was hard to decide who's face was more hilarious: Bruce's shocked expression or Alfred's surprised/horrified one.

"Yea and all three of us were grounded though I of course got the worst punishment. What does this have to do with what went on before?"

"Nothing I just thought you needed a smile on your face. Even those mischievous cackles of yours are better than you being moody and gloomy.. Cheer up kiddo! All is well and no, no one is hurt."

I let out a sigh I wasn't aware I was holding and quietly muttered a thanks. She smiled at me again.

"Well you've got at least seven no eight more people eager to see you. Though one of them is waiting at home. We shouldn't keep them waiting. That sound ok?"

I nodded in silence. Then she spoke in an announcer's voice.

"Well here we go! We are about to encounter the wild and unruly children of the mountain. Beware of their sarcasm and violent nature. This tour is complete with the dark and cunning babysitter! Keep your hands in the bed and mouth turned upward at all times! This will be one dangerous event so be careful!"

I broke out in laughter, a huge smile threatening to break my face. Selina walked over to the door and opened it. She made a purring noise very much like a cat and immediately the room was flooded with seven familiar people in colorful costumes while Selina quietly slipped out. Only I noticed and was sad to see her leave but at least she stopped by. Arty and Miss. M both gave me a big bone-crushing hug. I, in a fragile state, let out a little yelp. They immediately released me and smiled in apology. Next of course was Wally, who ruffled my hair and was speaking so fast that my head hurt so I simply nodded and smiled, and Roy who rolled his eyes but I could clearly see he was smiling in relief.

Then there were the three very awkward heroes who two of them merely gave a pat on my shoulder, the other stood in the background and shoulders were relaxed for the first time I've seen in a while. It was all so loud with everyone basically saying that they were glad I was fine and they missed me. The rest of it was mumbo jumbo to me. My head still hurt but I ignored it for the time being to reassure them everything was fine. It was obvious they were worried and didn't want to make it worse. Suddenly a doctor, I assumed because of what he was wearing, came in and cleared his throat. Silence finally returned to the room.

"You are free to go Mr... Robin. If someone will just sign this you can go."

Batman immediately grabbed the clipboard and signed it. He handed it back to the doctor who left without another word but not without a confused glance. The noise started up again. Batman slipped out to avoid getting a headache from Wally. Normally I would be so annoyed with all the chaos but right now it just felt good to have it all back to normal. I slowly got up and immediately Wally and Roy rushed over and I leaned on them as we walked out. We took the elevator to the roof where Miss. M's bioship was hidden. She unlocked it and we all piled in. We were heading back home and I knew it was going to be a night full of laughter and fun. The noise was still going on. Roy and Wally, somehow without my noticing, managed to sneak up behind me and both gave me a noogie. They laughed while I tried to get them off me but no success. They looked at each other and nodded and then they gave me a hug. The others saw this and decided to join in. It became a HUGE group hug! At this moment I realized Selina was right. All is well and it will remain so as long as we stick together. Thats what a team does. We stick together through it all, bad or good. I may have lost a family but in the process of moving on I found another.

Alternative ending:

The noise started up again. I looked up and Batman looked at me and gave a nod. I looked at him questioningly and he gave a very quick smile that only I would be able to see. He left the room. Everyone else was distracted for one reason or another.

"GUYS!"

Everyone stopped and starred at me.

"Guess what?"

"Idon'tknowwhat?"

"Todays the day guys."

Everyone but Wally and Roy looked at me in confusion.

"I got permission to tell all who I am."

"You are kidding! Thats so fabulous!"

"You guys ready?"

They all nodded. I took a deep breath, took off my mask and looked at my strange group of friends.

"Hi, I'm Dick Grayson. Bruce Wayne's famous ward."

All but three had their mouths opened in surprise and shock.

"Who?"

"His guardian is the most famous billionaire ever! How could you not know him? Uncle Jo'n told me about famous public figures."

"Oh."

"Didn't the Gnomes teach you that."

Superboy frowned.

"No just educational stuff."

"Well now you all know."

"So it was you who took that picture?"

"Yep."

Right then Artemis burst out laughing and so did I. I smirked.

"Told you we'd laugh about it sometime."

Wally helped me up and we all began walking out. Alfred had a limo parked outside the hospital and we all piled in. The moment the door was closed everyone was asking questions at once. I didn't bother trying to hear it all. I smiled and lay down in the bed and realized Selina was right. All is well. It doesn't matter what happens because I've got the kind of friends who got my back just like I got theirs. I may have lost a family but in the process of moving on I found another.
