AN:

Another new series! This one is just going to be one-shots about Robin and team, but mostly about Robin and his relationships with others. It's much like the Tenacious Trio, but it's centered around Robin more so.

I kinda have writer's block with chapter 5 of Sacrifice so I decided to write this instead! I've had it in my head for a while and I saw that in my poll, when I asked who the best-looking male member of YJ was, 25 people said Robin and that was it, basically. Wally and Kal both got one or two votes each. It made me happy :D And in the comics, Dick is supposed to be a very…pretty boy ;) and a ladies' man.

This is all that stuff mushed up into a one-shot :))) The undercover plot is from an old book I've read.

It's a future fic, btw: Robin is 16, so Artemis and Wally are 18, Kal, Conner, and M'gann are all 19. Zatanna and Rocket aren't in this. The team DOES know Robin's ID.

I hope you guys like this!

*I am holding in all my feelings about Invasion so I don't rant all over you guys, I'll do that the next time I update*

Chapter 2: The Teen Wonder

"You're all going undercover."

Batman's monotone voice filled the ears of the teens in front of him.

Robin jittered slightly with excitement. He already knew where they were headed, but listened anyway.

"As you know, many young teens from the United Kingdom have gone missing over the last few weeks. We have no information as to why they disappeared. The only lead we have is that all the teens had at one point been at the nightclub called Black Sapphire, located in the northern part of London. You're all going to be headed there soon. Undercover, you will all attempt to question the people there. Robin will help you prepare. Good luck."

With that, Gotham's Dark Knight turned, his black cape flowing slightly, and departed through the zeta tubes.

Robin let out a cackle. He moved to stand in front of his teammates, almost bouncing with excitement.

"You guys ready? Let's get started!"

"Started?" Artemis asked, confused.

"Well, yeah," Robin said, grin never fading. "You gotta be dressed right if you're going to the Black Sapphire. We'll seem suspicious otherwise."

"Oh, and of course you've already been there, mister-ward-of-Bruce-Wayne," Wally scoffed, giving his best friend's shoulder a playful punch.

"You kidding?" Robin laughed. "Bruce never lets me go to nightclubs, let alone the Black Sapphire. This is probably gonna be my only chance! So, let's get started!"

Motioning for the others to follow, Robin ran off towards his room.

Smiling slightly, Kaldur led his team after their little bird.

Robin was in his closet, bringing out big bags to put on his bed.

As the team entered, he looked up with excited blue eyes.

Bruce had let him reveal his identity about one year ago, when Robin was fifteen. Wally had already known, but the rest of the team was very surprised that Robin was Dick Grayson and Batman was Bruce Wayne.

"C'mon!" Dick said, waving the others over.

Bemused, the team perched themselves on Robin's bed.

Dick proceeded to hand each one of the teens a bag.

"Go change," he ordered, pointing to the hall. "And then meet me back in here."

Kaldur, Conner, M'gann, Wally, and Artemis walked in a few minutes later, tugging uncomfortably at the clothes that they had been given.

Conner was wearing a pair of dark jeans and a black dress shirt that defined his muscles. He had on a skinny red tie and on his feet was a new pair of red Converse.

Kaldur had on a pair of black pants and a dark red button-up shirt that hid his gills effectively. His shoes were slightly more formal: a pair of black dress shoes.

Wally was dressed in a shirt like Kaldur's, only in white. His jeans were a dark blue color and a pair of black Converse kept his look casual.

M'gann was wearing a full-sleeved black dress, one that hit at mid-thigh. It accumulated her figure nicely and its scoop neckline was outlined with small silver gems. She had on a pair of silver stilettos and had changed her green skin to a light peach color.

Artemis had on a dark navy colored dress. It was halter-necked and the fabric was silky. It too was mid-thigh length, but unlike M'gann's, it flowed outward slightly. At first glance, it seemed plain, but when Artemis moved, the fabric shimmered like light on water. She too had on stilettos, in black.

"Good!" Robin said, "You guys look great! Now, for hair and makeup!"

With a look of horror, the team realized that Robin's bed was covered with hair products and makeup.

"Ladies first," he said, bowing slightly to M'gann and Artemis.

The Martian giggled and moved to sit on Robin's bed.

The rest of the team watched, amazed, and Robin carefully brushed through M'gann's auburn hair.

"No need to straighten it!" he sighed with relief.

Quickly and neatly, Robin veil-braided Miss Martian's hair, letting her bangs sit across her forehead. Then, he grabbed a shimmery eyeshadow. Carefully, he applied the silver powder and then moved on to black liquid eyeliner. He opted to leave the bottom lashline of M'gann's eyes bare, instead only applying the liner to her top lids and finishing with an outward cat-eye stroke. Then, he scooped up a light pink blush and lightly applied it to M'gann's cheekbones so that it was just noticable. He finished her look with a nude lip gloss.

"Dude," Wally said, gaping. "How do you know how to do this?"

"Protégé of Batman," Robin replied, motioning for Artemis to take M'gann's place. "Been trained for everything- and I mean everything."

He gently pulled the hair tie from the archer's long blonde hair, ignoring her protest. He waterfall-braided it, letting the rest of it tumble down her back. He applied a light gray eye shadow to her lids and the same style of eyeliner as he had to M'gann. He left her cheeks blushless and lightly applied mascara to define Artemis' blonde eyelashes. Lastly, he applied the same lip gloss that he had put on M'gann.

Once Robin was done, he looked at the two female members.

"Perfect," he said, taking in his work. "You two look beautiful!"

M'gann blushed slightly as Robin handed them both small silver clutches. Then, he smacked his forehead much like M'gann tended to do.

"Almost forgot! Here." Robin handed M'gann a small box which contained rhinestone hoops. She thanked him happily as she put them on. Dick seemed to hesitate as he handed Artemis a smaller box.

"Here-they're-they were my mom's, but I want you to wear them for the night," he said rather quietly.

Artemis opened the box to find a pair of small diamond studs.

"Are you sure? I don't want-"

"No. It's alright," Dick said, tearing his gaze from the earrings as Artemis put them on. He brightened.

"There, now I'm done. Wally, you're next."

Wally nervously perched himself on his best friend's bed as Robin grabbed a hair brush.

He yanked it through Wally's fiery hair. "Geez, dude! Do you ever brush this mop you call hair?"

"Hey!" Wally said indignantly as Robin picked up a bottle of hair gel.

The bird applied a tiny bit of gel to Wally's hair, taming it a bit. Finishing off, he let the ginger's side bangs fall into his green eyes a bit, creating a rather nice effect.

"Don't you look handsome," Robin giggled, pushing Wally off of the bed. He eyed the other two boys.

"Hmmm…well, I guess you're up, Supey. Kaldur, you don't need any of this, your hair's already perfect."

The Kryptonian grumbled as he sat down on the bed. Robin brushed through his hair too and spiked it slightly, but not too much. He applied hairspray and then started to put away all the cosmetics on his bedspread.

"Done," Dick said. "I'm gonna get ready now, I'll meet you all by the tubes!"

Still amused with Robin's enthusiasm, the team of now three years made their way to the zeta tubes.

Robin came out ten minutes later, and the entire team did a double take.

Over the years, Robin had gotten much taller. He was now almost to Wally's height. His tan gypsy skin had made itself known and his cheekbones had sharpened just a bit. His voice had deepened to just the right pitch. And the team always thought of him as their baby, despite him being sixteen presently. But now…

Robin was dressed in a dark blue button-down shirt that was made of a silky material and hugged his lithe body perfectly. He had on a dark, almost black pair of jeans and a pair of white Converse. His big baby blue eyes were sparkling and framed with dark, thick lashes, his black hair tousled artfully. The top of his shirt was unbuttoned slightly, showing off the tan skin of his chest.

The two girls tore their eyes off of the Boy- Teen Wonder. The hacker didn't seem to notice his teammates' amazement

"C'mon, let's go!" he said, flashing a smile that made his pearly whites shine.

The team set off to where the bioship was docked. M'gann opened the hatch and the team went in and sat in their seats.

"ETA is…22:15," M'gann informed them. It was five o'clock at the moment.

About six hours later, the team was flying over London.

"Dock down there," Robin requested, pointing to a dark alley, the type that were common in Gotham.

Miss Martian obeyed, parking the ship but not undoing camouflage mode.

Dick, Wally, Megan, Artemis, "Kyle", and Conner got off of the ship and walked into the streets of London.

"What time is it here?" Wally questioned.

"Around eleven-thirty*. Perfect time for clubbing," Dick responded with a wink.

Sure enough, there were many young people lining the streets of London. Many were obviously foreigners, while some were not.

"This is the first time I've came here when it's not raining," Dick commented, looking up at the sky.

"You come here often?" Conner asked.

"Yeah, I've been here more times than I can count; as Dick Grayson and as Robin," Dick responded. "We're almost there, by the way." The group turned a corner.

There were even more young people here, and they all seemed to be heading in the same direction.

After a while of walking, a building came into view. It had modern architecture and a bright white and black sign read The Black Sapphire in large font. The front doors were open, but the inside could not be seen. This was because of the long line of people leading from the sidewalk to the inside of the club.

"This is gonna take forever," Wally groaned as they got into line.

Dick cackled again and the teens turned to look at him.

"You forgetting who I am?" he asked with a playful smirk.

And he walked right up to the bouncer.

"Hey," Dick said, the team at his side. "Miss me, Andy?"

"Dickie!" the bouncer boomed, shaking Dick's hand. "How's Bruce?"

"He's great," Dick said, flashing a charming smile. "Can you believe he actually let me come here this time? You don't know how many times I've asked."

"Well, go on in and have fun then!" Andy said, smiling widely. "These all with you?"

"Yeah, thanks Andy!" Dick said, pressing a fifty dollar bill into the man's hand as he sidled past him, the others at his heels. He ignored the protests of the other people in line.

Inside, music was blaring from the many speakers. It was a very modern and obviously high-end club. The tables were made of glass and the dance floor was a shiny white, lighting up in different colors every few seconds. People were already dancing and a few others were seated at the tables. The bar was fairly full too.

"Dude!" Wally yelled over the sound of the music. "How do you know that Andy guy?"

"Met him at a gala a few months ago!" Dick responded loudly. "Now, let's do what we came here for!"

When the teens didn't move, Dick sighed. "C'mon, guys, it's not that hard. Just have fun! Meet up with people, ask around nonchalantly for anything that they might have heard!"

The team remained frozen and Dick laughed.

Suddenly, Usher's DJ's Got Us Falling In Love** came on, and Dick whooped.

"C'mon guys! Dance! It's the easiest way to buddy up with people!"

And with that, Dick ran onto the dance floor along with a bunch of other scantily dressed people.

Kyle, Conner, Megan, Artemis, and Wally watched in awe as Dick was immediately surrounded by a group of girls. Dick and the girls all danced in sync somehow, clapping their hands over their heads in time with the familiar beat. Dick's hips swayed mesmerizingly. The girls swooned.

And the team continued to watch their little bird.

Keep downin' drinks like there's no tomorrow, that's just right

Now now now. N-n-now now.

Gonna set the roof on fire, gonna burn this motherfo-

Down down down. D-d-down down.

Dick eased down low, his hair flying, and Artemis' and Megan's eyes actually widened. The girls around Dick giggled and he gave them a dazzling smile.

"Oh no. No way Dickie bird's getting info before me!" Wally growled.

And he rushed off to the dance floor, dragging Artemis behind him.

Megan, Conner, and Kyle decided to get a table and sit down. They listened to the many conversations around them, trying to see if anyone was talking about the disappearances. Few were, and those who were seemed to know nothing about it.

Back on the dance floor, Pitbull's part in the song was just about to start.

Wally caught Dick's eyes and they both grinned. Artemis let Wally slip out of her arms as Dick smoothly extracted himself from the grip of a brunette.

Running to the middle of the dance floor as the rap part started, Wally and Dick hardcore broke it down, break dancing.

People cheered on the two teens as Dick finished with a double back flip.

The ginger and ebony high-fived and the younger was immediately swarmed by a group of girls again.

After two hours, Wally and Artemis joined the rest of their team at their table, exhausted. They all sipped sodas as they conversed.

"No one here seems to know much," Conner informed them.

"Perhaps Dick had more luck," Kaldur said, glancing over at the Boy Wonder.

Richard was showing no signs of tiredness as he danced with a different girl, an ebony this time, dressed in an outfit similar to Artemis. She had her arms around his neck and they both swayed in time to Glad You Came.

"Yeah, I think he did," Wally pouted, and M'gann giggled.

The song ended and Dick gave the girl a smile, walking over to his team. His hair was still tousled and his face was flushed slightly with excitement.

"Hey, guys! We're gonna have to leave soon, but did you have fun?" he asked brightly.

"Yes!" M'gann said, nodding.

Dick smiled again. "Good. We can leave out the back."

The teens stood up, walking past the dance floor and the bar to the very back of the club. They exited through the back door.

Outside, the streets were fairly quiet for London. A few cars drove by and some tourists were walking.

The team walked back to where the ship was docked. M'gann opened the hatch again and they all collapsed into their seats.

Wally yawned widely, looking at Robin. "So," he said. "Did you figure anything out?"

"'Course," Dick replied, rubbing his eyes. "We wouldn't have left otherwise. Turns out," he said, looking at the team, "Each and every one of the teens who went missing had parents who were involved with the League of Shadows. Not extremely involved, but still. Researchers, financial supporters, stuff like that. They kept their work private, so it's kinda odd that those people back there knew about it. Still, it's something! We just have to figure out who would kidnap the teens if their parents were already on the wrong side. There's bound to be people who work in the same field as the Shadows but against them."

Kaldur nodded. "Good. Well done, Robin."

The younger ebony was emptying his pockets. They were full of what appeared to be slips of paper and there were at least twenty pieces.

"What are those?" Wally asked slowly as Dick took out the last paper and tossed it to the fairly large pile of other papers.

"Numbers," Dick said, curling up in his seat and resting his head against the ship's soft wall. "Of the girls I talked to."

Wally grumbled as Conner snorted.

"Not fair," Wally muttered, folding his arms. He caught the look on Artemis' face and hastily unfolded his arms.

"Not-not that- I mean, I don't need any numbers 'cause I have you, Arty!"

Artemis rolled her eyes as Dick laughed, already on his way to sleep.

The team arrived back at Happy Harbor, and by that time, they were all extremely exhausted.

Black Canary was waiting for them.

"Hello everyone. How did it go?" she asked, smiling at the sleepy teens.

"Great," Dick said, yawning into his arm. "I'm gonna go pass out now."

Dinah smiled and waved at the team as they trudged past her to their rooms.

Dick was about to enter his own room when Wally stopped him.

"What do we do with all this?" he asked, gesturing to his outfit.

"Keep it. Duh," Dick said, rubbing his eyes again. "'Night, guys."

"Wait!" Artemis said, hastily taking off her earrings. She held them out to the Boy Wonder.

Dick smiled sadly. "Oh yeah. Thanks, Arty." He took the earrings and disappeared into his room.

One by one, the rest of the team went to their rooms too.

Back in his own room, Dick had his glove on, his holo computer out. Bruce's face was on the screen.

"Well? Have fun?" Bruce asked, smirking at his son.

"What? No 'did you achieve the mission's objective?'" Dick mocked, smiling.

"No."

"Well, it was definitely more than whelming . And turbing. And tating. And gusting. And-"

"Alright, I understand. We'll debrief tomorrow. Get some sleep, Dick," Bruce chuckled.

"'Kay," Dick replied, yawning.

He took off his glove and collapsed onto his bed, too tired to even change.

Dick snuggled into his pillow, smiling to himself. He hoped they would have more of these undercover "missions."

They were asterous.

I don't know what I just posted. I really don't. This is OBVIOUSLY much different than my usual writing style. Still, I hope you guys liked it. I really hope Dick wasn't giving off a gay vibe with him doing makeup and all that, because I was not aiming for that at all.

*Bear with me, I was too lazy to figure out the time difference. Sorry :o

** I know it's an olddd song, but whenever it comes on, I can picture Dickie being hot and dancing /\with me/\ *clears throat* Kidding!

If I confused anyone with all the different types of braids, look 'em up. They're soooo pretty, especially veil braids; it's how I do my hair, like, everyday. And I made up the girls' dresses; I think the dresses in stores are usually TACKYYY. Sorry if mine sounded tacky too. As for the club, search up modern nightclubs on Google images, that's what I was trying to describe.

I have a lot of ideas for this series, because, well, it's about Robin! So expect updates!

Still, tell me anything you might want to see!

REVIEWWWWW!
