Merry Christmas!!! Here's my gift to you!

One foot at a time, he stepped into the light. And there right in front of Batman, stood a rogue Robin.

"Robin?!" Batman asked shocked. There was no way... Robin had been in Gotham? But Slade...he...there was no time to think now.

"Robin! What are you doing!" Batman yelled at him sternly. After all this time...

"Attack a little, then you can flee." Slade ordered, curious to see how this would play out.

Robin nodded slightly. He was a few feet from Batman. Batman stepped closer. "Robin, what's going on?" Batman said in a soft voice as Batman neared him.

All to quickly Robin attacked, noticing Batman was of guard.

He sent a kick to Batman's gut, making him stumble backwards.

"Robin What are you doing." Batman grew serious. "Stop this! I don't want to fight you!"

Robin flipped into the air, sending more attacks his way. Batman dodged of course, but got hit once.

There was now a distance between them. Batman shook off the previous attack from Robin.

Robin took out an exploding boomerang. Robin aimed it at Batman's flowing cape, Batman dodged, but it hit his cape. As Batman pulled away, it exploded.

BOOM

Batman fell to the floor. He ripped the Boomerang from his cape, tearing it.

After all these years, Batman seeing him like this was not what Robin wanted. "He's down, Get out of there!" Slade demanded.

Robin didn't reply and reached for a smoke bomb. Batman didn't react, for he was still in shock.

Robin threw the smoke bomb down, and Batman took action. But as soon as the bomb went down, Robin was no where to be found. Batman stood alone on the roof trying to process.

"Alfred." Batman pressed his earpiece.

"Yes Sir?"

"I found him. I found Robin."

"Jolly good sir!" Alfred smiled.

"No, no it's not good. Robin, was the thief stealing from Wayne Enterprises."

"Pardon me?" Alfred coughed in shock.

"He's gone rogue. He's here in Gotham. I have to stop him, before he hurts anyone else." Batman remembered seeing the guards.

"Shall we inform the Titans?"

"I will but right now, I need to search for Robin. I don't know what he's capable of, I have to bring him down, no matter how much it hurts."

"What the heck happened?" The commissioner walked up behind him.

"Commissioner. I.." Batman turned around.

"I heard everything. Are you sure it was Robin?" Gordon fiddled with his pipe.

"I'm sure. I have to find him, before he hurts someone." Batman responded coldly.

"What could off possibly turned him rogue? I remember when I last saw him, he was a good kid." Gordon stoked his little tiny hairs growing all over his face.

"I...I don't know..." Batman's voice became softer and sadder with each word.

"Don't worry, you'll find him.". Gordon reassured.

"I'll take care off the Robbery business, Bruce Wayne is a good friend of mine." Batman told him.

"Good." Gordon glanced at his watch. "I'd better get goin-" Gordon cut off when he looked up and Batman was no longer there.

"Why do I even bother?" Gordon shook his head as he stepped back inside.

"Excellent. You did well." Slade stood in the Middle of the floor.

Robin walked in and stood in front of him.

"Batman got the message. Either he'll inform the Titans, or they'll hear about it on the news." Slade slowly paced the floor. "But there is nothing we can do until they arrive."

Robin nodded. That seemed to be the only from of communication he ever did now.

"All we can do now is get some rest, and pick up your training tomorrow." Slade motioned him out the door.

Batman searched, but Robin was gone.

Suddenly his earpiece beeped.

"What?" He spat out.

"We need you at the watchtower." Superman told him seriously.

"Why?" Batman really didn't feel like seeing the Justice League right now.

"We're having a meeting. Everyone is here but you."

Batman sighed heavily. No matter what he said, they were going to zeta beam him up there. "Fine."

"Good."

Batman was almost instantly transported to the watchtower.

"You think I could pull it off?" The Flash looked at his reflection.

"Yeah, you'd look great!" Green Lantern said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

The Flash glared at him.

"Have you seen the news?" Joh'n pulled up the page on the Watchtower computer.

"What is it this time?" Superman sighed.

A live broadcast from the world's daily news came up.

"I'm reporting live from Metropolis. Rampaging robots are Terrorizing the city! The has Lex Luther written all over it. The question is, were is Superman?" The reporter announced. "Back to you Mark."

Joh'n lowered the volume as Batman zeta beamed in.

"Those robots are insanely huge!" The Flash commented

"I Don't think Lex could off pulled that off by himself. He's working with someone."

Superman confirmed.

"Or maybe, he just smarter than you think." Batman's monotone sliced through the room.

"Good to see you Batman." Wonder Woman acknowledged.

Batman didn't respond, he only typed at a computer.

"We'll have to have our meeting late-" Superman cut off as he glanced at the Computer.

"What is that?" Green Lantern's mouth dropped slightly.

Joh'n immediately turned it up.

"As I was saying, The Batman was seen fighting Robin on the Rooftop of Wayne Enterprises. We don't know why Robin was stealing from Wayne Enterprises, but he hasn't be seen in Jump City for a while." Mark finished.

"Don't forget, his new attire!" The woman sitting next to him added.

"And don't forget, Batman Lost this battle!" Mark continued.

But before they could say another word, a Batarang flew through the air, hitting the computer directly in the center shutting it off.

Batman glared at them. "Not one word."

Batman stalked out.

"Did you guys see that?!" The Flash burst from the silence.

"Robin is Evil now?" Green Lantern raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't make any sense!"

"I don't believe it, Robin was always a good kid. What could of turned him Rogue?" Superman thoughtfully stroked his chin.

"Maybe it has something to do with his relationship with Batman." Wonder Woman suggested.

"I don't know, last we heard of him he was the Leader of a crime fighting team in Jump City." Superman replied stunned.

"Wait, isn't Jump City, like the farthest you can get form Gotham and still be in America?" Flash pondered.

"Robin was probably trying to get as far away as possible from Gotham as he could after he left Batman." Wonder Woman mused.

"Whatever it is, Batman And Robin's relationship is pretty messed up." Flash commented.

"Oh and I'm sure you have better one with you old partner?" Green Lantern raised a brow.

Flash glared at him once more.

"Wait, did you hear that, Batman lost! To his old partner!" The Flash exclaimed flailing his arms.

"Your right, Batman never loses, he could defeat each and every one of us." Green Lantern admitted what nobody else would.

"That's why it's a good thing Batman's on our side." Superman added.

"Even though he sure doesn't seem like sometimes." Wonder Woman laughed a bit.

"I'd better get to metropolis." Superman nodded at Joh'n as he zeta beamed him to metropolis.

"And did you catch that? Robin was stealing from Wayne Enterprises! Batman's company!" Flash exclaimed.

"Isn't he supposed to inherit Wayne Enterprises?" Green Lantern asked.

"Batman will fix this. Robin will be back on our side in no time." Wonder Woman put a hand on her hip.

"Remember what we said about if Batman was evil that would be really bad? Well if Robin is evil, that could be really bad too." Green Lantern frowned.

Batman ripped his cowl off and wiped his hair out of his face. He sank down into his chair.

"Are you alright Master Bruce?" Alfred laid a hand in his shoulder.

"No. No I'm not." Batman looked up at him.

"You can not blame yourself for what happened. This isn't your fault."

"It is my fault! If I had never...he would of never..."

"There was nothing you could of done. It would of happened sooner or later."

"Do you know why this is all my fault? I trained him to become who he is. And now he hates me and wants to take everything I taught him, and turn it against me." Batman lowered his head.

"He wanted to become Robin. It was his choice. And I don't know if Robin truly hates you or not." Alfred looked him in the eyes.

"You remember when I met him?" A small smile Lit up his face slightly.

"Ah yes. He was so closed up, almost never came to us for anything." Alfred mused remembering. "But in time, he opened up to you, after he learned about your whereabouts at night. You and him became the best crime fighting team there was."

"And I'm getting him back." Batman told him confidently. "First I need to call the Titans."

Alfred nodded and sank into the shadows.

The Titans picked up immediately.

"Batman! Did you get a lead?" Cyborg asked seriously.

Batman spotted 4 figures behind Cyborg, intently listening.

"Kind off. Good or Bad news first?" Batman decided to break it to them slowly.

"Good." Cyborg answered. At least there was some good news.

"Robin is here. In Gotham."

Multiple gasps out of shock were heard.

"That's great! Is he alright?! Do you have him with you?" Cyborg perked up.

"Don't get excited. There is still bad news."

"Oh. Right. Go on." Cyborg became serious.

"Robin, is..." Batman didn't know how to tell them. "There was a robbery, at Wayne Industries tonight. But the person who robbed it...was Robin."

The Titans froze. Kid Flash was the first to break out of it.

"Wait, what?! You got to be kidding me! Rob would never! ExSpecially since Wayne Ind-" Kid Flash cut off.

"I thought that too. You can look up the World daily news, they caught the whole thing." Batman told them.

"So, he got away?" Cyborg resumed.

"Yes. I haven't been able to find him since." Batman responded.

"We're coming."

"Excuse me?"

"We're coming to Gotham. We have to find Robin." Cyborg confirmed.

"That won't be necessary-"

"Right now, there's nothing you can do to stop us. We're coming." Cyborg interrupted.

Batman sighed. "Fine."

"We'll see you soon then." Cyborg turned off the connection.

Raven stood with Starfire on the corner, they were talking quietly to each other.

"We need to get to Gotham fast. We don't have much time." Cyborg informed the boys.

"Did you say fast? I'm your man!" Kid Flash proudly smirked.

"Star, it's going to be fine." Raven told her quietly as she glanced over at the boys.

"It's happening all over again..." Starfire shook her head.

"We'll fix it. We will get Robin back. I promise."

"You do?" Starfire looked up.

"Yes. I promise we will not come back home without him." Raven laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you Raven. I know you are right." Starfire smiled weakly. "I can be strong about this. Robin will come back, like you promised."

"Yo Guys! You might wanna be apart of this." Cyborg yelled over at Raven and Starfire.

They immediately flew over.

"We need to get to Gotham, fast. There is a faster way, then going by plane." Cyborg motioned to Kid Flash.

"Oh! Yeah okay. I can go to Gotham city, and be back in less than a minute. I can take someone with me, if their light. I'm fast, not strong." Kid Flash explained.

"How far can you teleport Raven?" Cyborg looked at her.

"About halfway to Gotham is my limit." Raven replied.

"I could easily bring you guys halfway, and Raven could bring us the other half!" Kid Flash exclaimed excited.

"Yeah! Let's do it. Right now." Cyborg smiled.

"But first, if I'm going to be carrying you guys halfway to Gotham, one at a time I'm gonna need some fuel!" Kid Flash raced to the kitchen.

"Aw, come on dude! Stop emptying our fridge! We just went shopping a while back!" Beastboy glared at Kid Flash stuffing his face.

"I might need to meditate a bit, before I can teleport you guys." Raven spoke up.

"That's fine. We need to get a couple things In order before we leave. How does 15 minutes sound?" Cyborg asked.

"That's fine." Raven nodded.

"Great! Meet back here in 15 minutes y'all."

And the Titans went their separate ways.

All the while, they seemed to of forgotten, it was Slade behind it all.
