Hello everyone.

This is something quite a few people have been wanting - Mother figures. Catwoman, Talia Al Ghul, Wonder Woman and Black Canary. Plus an extra.

This varies in the time setting and any ships I use are Canon (sorry all non-canon fans - I don't actually ship half the canon ships so you are welcome to ignore them). I will put the rough timing next to the person.

I've recently gotten addicted to The Musketeers on BBC so I hope someone catches the reference, I highly recommend it. I love Peter Capaldi as the villain.

Anyway, as usual I own nothing and I apologise for any OOCness and spelling mistakes.

Hope you enjoy.

Robyn

1 - Catwoman (During Titan years)

It was late at night, darkness already stretched across the city but Catwoman (more commonly known as Selina Kyle) had decided she couldn't be bothered to go out for once. Too exhausted from some previous troubles. She had been retrieving something from her bedroom before returning to the lounge when she heard a window slam open followed by a few whispered words.

Waiting a second she listened in, hoping to hear anything else that would give her a hint to her home invader's identity. When she heard nothing for several minutes she grabbed a whip (which she conveniently kept near her, but still out of sight, just in case. After all, it is Gotham you never know who is going to appear in the middle of the night or even day). She silently crept forward down the corridor back to the lounge where she heard quiet footsteps. They were too quiet for someone not trained in the art of covert operations or at least trained (so not an average thug/mugger), but too loud for a professional thief or mercenary.

Selina turned the corner into the lounge where she had estimated her guest was from the footsteps, whip at the ready. She was halted in her tracks when instead of a burglar she met the guilty face of a young boy she hadn't see in a few months.

It was Robin. The first one, not the newer kid Batman had suddenly shown up with. Despite what some idiots thought, the new Boy Wonder was definitely someone else. She would have recognised Dick anywhere. He smiled at her, looking a bit sheepish for breaking into her apartment.

"Hi Selina. Sorry about breaking in but. . . I kind of need some advice and thought you might be the best person to go to." Robin ran a hand through his ebony hair as he tried to explain sheepishly.

"First, where have you been? And why did you leave? I've not seen you in months! Then a new Robin shows up and Bats refuses to say anything." Selina questions narrowing her eyes at the boy, who had appeared in full costume. When she didn't get an answer immediately she let out a sigh and moved over to the main room of her penthouse apartment. Sitting down and patting the seat beside her, he joined her. Cats circled towards them, happily settling on their laps and next to them.

"Well, Bats and I were on a normal patrol when we got news that Joker had escaped Arkham yet again, so we went after him of course. It seemed like an ordinary battle where he fights back but we eventually defeat him with only small injuries, until I made a stupid move believing him to have almost been defeated and the Joker shot me. Nothing really particularly life threatening, but it scared Bats." Robin looked down with a painful expression as if he was reliving the events he described. "Batman took him down and gave him to the Commissioner before picking me up and returning to the Bat Cave. Agent A quickly took out the bullet and stitched me up. It wasn't the worse I've had, but it came at a bad timing. Things with the team had been stressed because of recent events and he was worried and over protective, sometimes he forgets I'm not a little kid anymore. . ." Robin trailed to a stop, expression conflicted.

"Continue please." Selina asked thoughtfully, she really needed the rest of the explanation, Bats had refused to explain what on earth had happened.

"He fired me. Told me he wanted me to stop being Robin, so I ran away. I left a note and ran away. I went to Jump City thinking I would go it alone but I ran into these other super powered teens and we formed a team." Robin smiled thinking of his new teammates.

"The Teen Titans." Selina and just about everyone else had heard of the new group of young superheroes. The most surprising thing about them was their lack of connection to the League, she'd heard rumours that Robin had shown up in Jump but hadn't been sure whether to believe them.

"Yeah, I'm the leader. I know I should have gone back and I was planning to but then I heard that I'd been replaced. I was hurt and angry, mostly at Bats but a little at the kid, I like Jay but I didn't expect him to replace me! Robin was my name and they had no right to steal something so personal! I haven't seen Batman since I ran away, I've talked a bit with Jay but I'm still upset." Robin looked close to tears at this point. He had been expecting Jason to take on a new name, not for him to become Robin. He'd replaced him as both a superhero and as Bruce's ward.

"There, there. Don't worry everything will be fine." She tried to comfort the upset teen who had leaned into her offered arms, a stray tear rolling down his face. Once he had calmed down a bit she continued. "What's the advice you are so desperate for that you broke into my apartment to receive anyway?"

"I think I'm in love." The former boy Wonder muttered, petting one of the purring cats.

"Really, who? Is it that magician girl - Zatanna?"

"No. . ." He spluttered trying to get a world in but Selina just continued offering suggestions.

"Or that Archer girl, Aramis? No, Artemis!"

"No, why would you think. . .?"

"Or maybe Barbara, you used to have a crush on her."

"No. . ."

"Or the speedster Wally, you two are certainly close."

"NO!"

"Now Robin I won't judge you, love is love no matter the gender or . . ."

"No, it's Kori. One of my new teammates - Starfire or Kori. She's an alien princess with orange skin. I don't know what I should do, I really like her and don't want to mess it up." Robin jumped in and managed to finally get a say in the conversation, he looked a bit lost near the end.

"Okay, so here is what you need to do . . ."

2 - Black Canary (Young Justice - Season 1)

A disgruntled Boy Wonder marched into the Cave only to find it empty of his teammates, the only current inhabitant was Black Canary. When she heard his arrival announced she had glanced up from the book she had been reading before swiftly going back to her book. The Cave was the only quiet place she had been able to find to complete the book she had been so desperate to finally read.

He marched into the lounge where she currently sat. He immediately went over to her and sat down on the couch next to her with a deep sigh, causing her to peer up from her book and raise an eyebrow at the boys expression.

"What happened?" She asked curious.

No answer.

"Was it patrol or school or . . ."

"I hate charity balls. No I take that back, I despise charity balls. If I have to deal with one more person being nice to me to get money from Bruce or whisper not so quietly behind my back I am going to go insane!" Robin threw his arms in the air in frustration.

"You know it comes with being the ward of a billionaire." Black Canary replied knowingly, watching the boy, having put a bookmark in the right page of her book knowing she wouldn't get to finish it quite yet.

"It's still torture."

"I'm not denying that, I deal with Oliver remember? I've had to go to a fair amount of charity balls as well."

"Why is dealing with billionaires so hard? I mean Bruce and Batman are like polar opposites. I think he tries too hard at being the billionaire just to annoy me sometimes."

"I agree. I think it is something to do with also being superheroes. They feel the need to over act so it seems like they are not connecting their identities together." Black Canary shrugged her book abandoned on her lap.

"Doesn't mean that I have to like dealing with him. He's fine when he's not in public but when he is, he is unbearable." Robin huffed.

"It's more than that, what else has happened?" Black Canary narrowed her eyes at the boy. This wasn't the normal frustration at his guardian's public persona.

"I guess. . . I wish he would spend more time with me. In between Wayne Enterprises and missions I never really see him unless we're on patrol." Robin sighed. "I know he's busy, however, and doesn't always have time for me, but I guess that's the price for living with a billionaire." With that Robin left the room without another word, a few minutes later Black Canary heard the Zeta-Beam announce his departure.

Black Canary made a pact to herself to talk to Bruce about spending more time with him but seeing as he was currently on a mission she decided she may as well carry on with her book for now.

About a week later she couldn't hide a smile at seeing Robin grinning happily after spending a whole day with Bruce, just the two of them and Alfred. Her duty was done.

3 - Talia (Young Justice - Season 1)

Young Justice was out on a small covert mission. They had been tasked with retrieving information on a small group of thugs trying to smuggle weapons to bigger organisations. Everything had been going surprisingly well but what they hadn't counted on - was it being a trap.

As soon as they arrived near the small clearing in which the meeting between the thugs and an unknown group was to take place, they were surrounded. Figures wearing dark masks appeared from various hiding places, encircling the team with weapons pointed towards them ready to fire at the correct order. They couldn't even twitch without the weapons getting pointed closer at them. Things weren't looking promising.

A new figure stepped forward from the shadows, clearly the leader from the way they moved and how the rest of their attackers looked at them awaiting orders. The leader had a sword at their side, hanging on a belt just ready to be put into use. They moved into sight of the whole team before removing their mask, revealing an attractive young woman with long wavy dark hair and blue eyes narrowed in inspection of the team.

The majority of the team were clueless to the identity of their attacker and complexed by the reveal of her face. Robin on the other hand, knew exactly who stood in front of them and let out a quite groan knowing what was going to happen, and it was going to be embarrassing.

His teammates looked back at him, questioning through the mental link if he knew their attacker's identity. He was not given time to answer though, as the lady moved forward into the circle, moving until she was right in front of Robin.

"Robin! I expected better of you. You got a C in English and and a D in physical education! What are you thinking? I will not accept these results, you are grounded until you can get your marks back up to a B at least. I know your personal life and duties as Robin get in the way but you should still be able to deal with all your school work." The lady reprimanded the poor embarrassed hero while the rest of the team looked on, getting more confused by the second.

"But Talia-." Robin attempted to explain, glancing at the team.

"No buts, you're grounded. If you need any help with studying I am sure between myself, Batman and Agent A we can provide sufficient help." Talia, apparently, stayed firm in her decision.

"Yes Talia. Now would you mind letting us go? I assume the mission was a set up and our source was fake." Robin gave in, he really didn't want to be grounded but it wasn't like he could argue.

"Of course. I will see you later Robin. You may want to sort out your lack of covert skills for a supposed covert team!" With those final words she disappeared along with all the other figures, leaving no trace they were ever there.

The team exploded with questions at once. Who was that? How did she now him? Why was she telling him off for his marks in school? A D in Physical education really?

"That was Talia al Ghul. She's the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins. She's also currently having a thing with Batman so I get to see her quite a bit. Come on, we better get back to the Cave." Robin turned around and headed back to the Bio-Ship before anyone could ask anymore questions. He knew they weren't finished questioning him and he would regret everything later but he was currently too embarrassed to say anything else.

4 - Wonder Woman (Young Justice - Season 1)

It was fairly unusual for anyone apart from the team and their mentors, plus Black Canary, to be in the Cave. So the surprise visit from Wonder Woman truly was a surprise. While not as rare as sight as many other Leaguers she wasn't exactly a common sight, the majority of the team had barely even met her properly.

It may have been fate or destiny, but it was more than likely that it was just luck that Wonder Woman was in the Cave at the time she was. The team were away doing various stuff, so not many of them were actually in the Mountain. She had actually come to see Black Canary, who as far as she could see was not here (despite what Green Arrow had claimed).

She had been about to give up on her search for Black Canary and leave the Mountain, but was stopped by the Zeta-Beam announcing Robin's arrival. Deciding she had some time still and that she hadn't seen Robin properly in a while she went to investigate. She moved through the corridors back towards the entrance hall when she heard running feet move towards the living quarters.

Worried that something was wrong she picked up her pace and went after the young boy. When she reached his room the door was locked, she could hear someone sniffling as if they were trying to stop themselves from crying from inside. She knocked gently.

"Robin? Can you open the door for me please?" Wonder Woman asked kindly knowing that Robin would recognise her voice.

She waited a few seconds before the tell tale sound of footsteps and a lock unlocking could be heard. When the door didn't open she carefully pushed it open, moving into the room. The sight that met her was Robin sitting, head on his knees and tucked up on his bed in the centre of the room.

He wore civilian clothes and his signature sunglasses, that she knew he wore around the team sat on the bedside table to the side, abandoned. The blue eyes looked up with tears threatening to join the others that had already made their way down his cheeks leaving red marks. Diana moved over to join him on the bed, sitting beside him and reaching an arm around his shoulder, pulling him against her side in a semi-hug.

"What happened? Did someone hurt you?"

Dick looked up only to burry his face into her shoulder for a few minutes, calming himself down before pulling back and finally answering. "It's nothing. It's really stupid."

"It's clearly not nothing if you're this upset, and nothing that upsets you this much is stupid." Diana's mind was racing with the possibilities of what could have happened. Trying to figure out where he had been today that would have left him like this.

"Some boys were calling me names and and and smiling and shouting at me to annoy me and and the girls were laughing at me and pretending to ask me out because they know no one would truly want to go out with me. Usually I could deal with it but today was just a bad day and . . ." He manage to stutter out, trying to put into words what had happened. When Diana didn't say anything he continued. "I told you it was stupid."

"It's not stupid, while it may seem smaller and unimportant compared to other things, that's still bullying and you should tell someone especially if it is happening regularly. It's hurting you and sometimes the smallest things can hurt the worst." Diana announced, holding him tightly.

"I'm a superhero though, I've dealt with villains who want to destroy the world! This is nothing. I feel weak and stupid because of it." Dick admitted, eye staring a hole into the floor.

"You're still a kid and you are used to villains. Plus you can actually fight them, but you can't fight these kids. You shouldn't feel weak as you are anything but and you are definitely not stupid." Diana pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thanks Diana."

"You're very welcome, sweetheart."

If a few days later it was discovered some of the kids at Gotham Academy were part of gangs and doing less than legal activities, and ultimately kicked out of Gotham Academy, it was just a coincidence that they were Dick's tormentors I assure you.

5 - Mary Grayson (Young Justice - Season 1)

The three boys stood in black suits in front of a little gravestone in the middle of a quiet graveyard. The smallest boy leant down to put a beautiful bouquet of white lilies on the grave, before kneeling down to talk to the grave.

"Hi mami. I know it has been a little while since I've visited but happy birthday. I got you some lilies, I know they are your favourite flower. Wally and Roy are here with me, remember I've told you about them before?" Dick Grayson was trying hard not to let tears fall. Roy and Wally kneeled down in front of the grave on either side of him to offer support. They took a hand each, squeezing to comfort the boy they considered a little brother.

"Everything has been a bit hectic lately between school and the team. I won another math competition and the team had completed more missions. Nothing too dangerous besides I have my brothers here to protect me. I hope you and tati and uncle Rick, aunt Karla and John are all happy together in heaven. If it's okay with you I have found some new family but it doesn't mean I will ever forget you." He smiled at Roy and Wally. "You may be gone but I have people who look after me and love me as much as you did. As tati used to say 'family through bond and choice is just as important if not more important than blood'. I love you and everyone else and I always will. Bye for now mami."

Dick, Wally and Roy walked out the cemetery together. Dick may have lost his blood family but he had found a new one that loved him just as much.

And finished.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed.

Robyn out.
