Realisation
Warnings: Nothing much just some swearing and mentions of TimKon.
"Nice work Robin." Aqualad praised the acrobat. "Kid Flash don't let your guard down so easily." Aqualad stated as he got his water bearers ready again.
"Wait- Robin?" The other Robin lowered his weapons hearing his name. But clearly the enemy wasn't referring to himself, he seemed to be acknowledging their partner.. The one who threw the birdarang.
He turned towards Robin, observing the teen for a minute before he finally came to realise.
"...Grayson?"
Robin stiffened, had he heard correctly. Did this boy actually know his identity?
The other Robin put his weapons away, seeing Robin's reaction to his name meant it was definitely Grayson. He had somehow traveled back in time to when Grayson had started this awful team.
"So the old team huh..?" He looked at the team, it sure was the one Grayson told those annoying stories about. He slowly pieced together who was who. The tall guy with gills was sure to be Aqualad, Grayson told many stories of how Wally Kaldur and him founded the team. The girl with the bow must be Tigeress, however she appeared to be Artemis currently. The speedster was definitely Wally West, Grayson talked about him all the time it got incredibly annoying. The martian was sure to be M'gann she wasn't to interesting. And then there was Kon-El, Damian had completely forgot that Drake's foolish boyfriend was apart of this team.
"Excuse me not to ya know interrupt or anything.. But you were literally about to kill me! And now you're all chilled out because you heard the word Robin?! And what do you mean the old team?" Wally practically shouted at the boy.
"Nonsense I'd never kill you, West. Grayson would never approve." Damian shook his head.
The rest of the team stiffened. How did this child know who Wally was?
"How.. How do you know our names?" Robin asked.
"I am from the future, Grayson. And I need to return."
"Yeahhhhhh, I'm not buying it." Wally frowned. "You can only prove it by telling us something nobody else would know."
"I already did, I told you Robin's and your last names? Do you need me to say more Wallace?" Damian gave Wally a disappointed look.
"Oh." Wally laughed awkwardly.
"Nice work Kid Idiot." Artemis snorted, turning to Damian. "And are you like the future Robin or something..?" Artemis asked, eyeing the boy strangely.
"Yes, I suppose so." Damian nodded.
"Why? What happened to me? Why am I no longer Robin am I dead?!" Robin panicked, he would never give up the role of Robin, he absolutely loved it. The only explanation that this kid was Robin would be that he died.
"No."
"Then why are you Robin?!" Robin looked utterly confused, this kid was most likely lying. Unless maybe Robin was to old to continue being Robin and it got passed down to this kid.
"I cannot say, it may alter the future." Damian shook his head.
"Wait your last name is Grayson?" Artemis asked Robin.
"..Maybe, oh god Batman's gonna kill me!" Robin complained, looking down at the ground.
"I need a way to get back home. To my timeline." Damian spoke up again. "I didn't come here by free will."
Robin nodded. "I'll contact the league and see if we can get Doctor Fate to do that. I'll also alert Batman of the situation."
"Yes that would be best." Kaldur agreed.
Robin walked out of the room with Kaldur as they reported to the league of their visitor.
"So what's it like in the future?" M'gann asked Damian, trying to start up a conversation with the small boy.
"If you're trying to get friendly with me, it's not happening." Damian frowned at the martian. "And it's shitty."
"Woah, language kid. You're like what, 9?" Wally smirked.
"Just because Grayson was 9 when he first became Robin doesn't mean I was. And for your information Wallace, my age shouldn't affect how I speak." Damian gritted out, walking over to the couch and plopping down.
"Geez, who pissed on his breakfast huh?" Artemis frowned at the kid.
"Who knows." Wally shrugged.
"Maybe you'd like a cookie?" M'gann hovered over, using her telekinesis to carry the tray of cookies.
Damian stared at the cookies for a while, they shouldn't be poisoned, this was Grayson's old team. They wouldn't do anything of the sorts.
"Mm, ysh thre ry ood!" Wally grinned, his mouth stuffed with cookies.
Disgusting, he was talking whilst he was eating Damian snorted. Though West was eating them so they couldn't be to dangerous.
"Is that a yes or no...?" M'gann asked, she was obviously confused on why the child was taking so long to respond.
"Of course." Damian grabbed one of the cookies inspecting it. It didn't seem as if it was dangerous. He took a bite out of it. "Not bad Martian, considering Grayson always spoke of how you burnt every batch you created."
"Grayson is Robin right?" Conner asked.
"Indeed, Clone." Damian nodded.
"Hey just curious, but what should we call you?" Artemis asked.
"I'm a bat you seriously expect me to just tell you my name?"
"Well no... But we still need something to call you. Since we obviously can't call you Robin." Artemis yawned, leaning against the wall.
"Oh?" Damian thought for a minute. "Just call me anything you want."
"Wow, how helpful." Artemis scoffed.
Damian finished the cookie and then turned to M'gann. "I appreciated the cookie, thanks."
"It wasn't a problem, feel free to have more!" The Martian beamed, placing the remaining cookies on the coffee table.
Robin returned to the team with Kaldur.
"Doctor Fate seems to be off world doing some sort of a mission, you'll have to wait here until he returns." Kaldur informed Damian.
"Also Batman's coming to make sure you aren't to much of a threat. Seeing as you did fullout attack us just earlier." Robin added.
Damian nodded at this, in his timeline Batman was presumed dead. Well, not really Grayson had taken on the role of Batman and Damian was his Robin. Gotham has no idea that the role of Batman had changed. This made Damian tense, he was going to see his father again.. And he really didn't want that. He was pretty positive his father hated him. Although at least Batman wouldn't know that Damian is his son and that he was trained by the assassins in this timeline.
Robin noticed the way the kid tensed. Why wouldn't he want to see Batman? After all wasn't he his mentor.. Unless the kid was lying, it would seem right. This kid just shows up out of nowhere knowing Wally's and his names. The kid also doesn't seem to trust anyone seeing as he was on edge all the time. Also what was the deal with him holding that birdarang to Wally's throat? Batman would defiantly never teach the kid to do that, something was off about this kid and Robin did not like it. Was he really trained by Bruce? Robin did not like this kid one bit.
The room was silent and nobody uttered a word, the two Robin's seemed deep in thought. It was something the bats did, they could be having a silent conversation for all everyone knew. But it did make everyone uncomfortable how the two Robin's were staring at eachother, something was up..
"Are you done glaring at me Grayson?" Damian raised an eyebrow at Robin, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"You were definitely not trained by Batman. He'd never train somebody as dangerous as you! You literally almost killed Wally! There's no way he'd accept that kind of behaviour who are you?!" Robin narrowed his eyes at Damian.
Damian looked down at the ground, his league of assassins training had kicked in when he fell through the portal, and Grayson just had to notice.. But for some reason those words he said, they hurt. Grayson was the only family member who made him feel welcomed into the family.. So hearing these words from him really stung. The worst part is those words were true, Bruce didn't welcome him into the family. Heck Bruce probably despised him, he was trained to do everything that Bruce went against since he was a baby.
Robin noticed that Damian wasn't going to respond and continued. "So he didn't accept you huh?! I bet you stole the title Robin. You didn't earn it!"
Robin sneered, walking out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
A/N: Apologies that Robin seems kind of mean in this chapter! It's actually because he's upset that Damian is Robin in the future and Robin is basically the one thing that Dick absolutely loves, since it's the name his mother used to call him back in the circus. So I kind of thought he'd be a bit angry at Damian because of that. c:
