Robin's POV

Life is like a game, some get lucky and win, while others lose everything. Some are pawns while others are at the head of everything. My life is a game in losing. The Young Justice hates me, just because I'm 13.

" The team was worried about you Robin, they've been waiting to talk to you" Bruce said and I stood up and walked into the kitchen and saw the team sitting in the couch

" Robin, we have news" Artemis said and I looked

" What is it" I asked and she was smirking and frowning

" Well your no longer in the team" she said as I looked at her and the rest

" But I...I.....I" I sputtered and looked at them

" Yeah don't give us that stuff about 'Oh I helped found this team' me, Aqua and Supey did all the work" Wally said and I didn't make eye contact with anyone

" You have 1 day to go back to Gotham City" Conner said and shoved me and walked by

" Bye Robin" Artemis laughed and fist bumped Wally who laughed

Like I said, they hate me. I picked up and left soon after that, I couldn't stand the constant remarks about how weak I was or how small I was. I've been in hiding for a good week now, I stopped crime fighting because I knew that 'they' would handle it. Batgirl found me and decided to chat with me, yeah didn't go that well.

In the darkest alleyway of Gotham city held me and a very mad Batgirl.

" You can't just leave Dick they care about you" she yelled at me and I looked up at her.

" It's not my fault that they hate me for being 13, age is just a number" I said back in a deadly serious calm voice

" But that doesn't give you a right" she said back her voice still laced with anger

" A right to what, quit because they did kick me off" I returned and she had a confused face

" No they didn't" she replied and I nodded, I knew what I saw, no hallucinations here

" Yes they did, everyone hates me including you, you can't stand me. I hear what you say" I replied and I knew had struck a nerve. She clenched her fists and stuck a finger in my chest

" That all you ever do Robin! You cut people out of your life who actually care about you! You never get close to them, I care, but that's it, It's like you don't even care! I'm done! I'm done watching out for you, you could die for all I care" she yelled at me and I had a straight face. She had put a specific emphasis on some words thought. This isn't the first time I've been yelled at ya know

" Well I'm sorry if the first people I've ever loved are dead" I mumbled with a bit of sadness and venom lacing the tone. I threw a smoke pellet to the ground and disappeared.

I flipped to another rooftop and looked over Gotham City, It seemed Darker than before. Well the Bat-Family minus Barbra have been looking for me though so crime was kinda getting out of hand. The YJ acted like they cared but they didn't really, I knew it. I threw away my Robin uniform because it was completely bugged with trackers so I went for black clothing. Black jacket, black shirt, black jeans, black Robin boots (only thing not bugged), my holographic computer gloves and black utility belt. Some people see me for the tops and call me 'The Shadow. Rolls off the tongue but it's weird... I don't mind though. I also had my mask to conceal my identity.

I felt so far from myself, I mean I have to wear my contacts so people won't recognize me. I have my fake identities and money all accounted for. It was like I was disappearing, away from my identity. I don't mind doing that for a while, the manor life wasn't really all that thrilling, I was more like a loft kind of person. I have felt a person behind me but I didn't acknowledge it

" Robin" someone said and it wasn't Batman. It had a darker personnel to it. I didn't turn my head

" I'm not that person anymore" I replied and looked over the city. The man took a step closer to me

" Well... I need you either way" the mans said and I turned around. Orange and Black was all I saw, that Orange and Black mask. It had a haunting feeling to it, it was unnatural.

" DeathStroke" I said and he grabbed his katana. He then took a swipe at me and I cartwheeled out of the way. I grabbed my escrima sticks and combined them to a bo staff. I blocked a hit by DeathStroke. He then brought out his machine gun. He started shooting while I dodged but one got embedded in my left shoulder I stumbled back a bit. I threw 3 explosive disks at his but he caught them all. Stupid advanced eyesight, he can see things really quickly. He threw them back at me and I back flipped out of the way.

" Your a little better than we expected" Someone else and that was Ra's Houl Ghoul. He stepped it with his Katana in hand

" Yes quiet indeed" another said and Talon came out of the shadow. He had his usual daggers that looked like feathers. He had them in hand and they all stood next to each other.

I can tell they have a plan of some sort.

" We have an investment that we plan to fulfill" Ra's said and Talon threw 2 of his feather daggers at me. I dodged one but the other embedded in my side. I pulled it out and it dropped to the floor. My hands started shaking and so did my body

" That dagger was laced with a heavy sedative and a strong poison to stop muscle movements" DeathStroke said and my vision started to blur as I dropped to my knees. DeathStroke put his foot on my shoulder and kicked me to the ground with force. I groaned.

" Time to come with us Little Bird" then I black out.
