Red Robin

The day they were going to be introduced to their 'new' teammate was the day of Gar's annual shower apparent. Which had Raven looking up from book when a purple Beast Boy came running into the completely outraged.

Which was why Raven had to bite her cheek to keep from laughing as Donna, Jaime, and Damian (who was still bright pink) all gaping at Garfield.

"RAVEN!" Gar balked.

"Do I have to worry about being turned into a different color!?" Jaime asked.

"That's what you get for calling me 'creepy and depressed'," Raven said primly as she stood.

"I didn't mean it!" Gar shouted.

"Actually you did," Jaime called out unhelpfully which had Gar glaring at him. "I am so not being dyed a color because of your stupid remarks, and if this is the punishment for picking on Raven I will never be mean to her!"

"Jaime, you're a gentleman, so there's no need to worry," Raven said monotonously. Gar looked ready for a screaming fit in his bath towel as he glared at her. Donna giggled, and Damian just scowled. Raven however was very pleased that she and Jason had gon with purple rather than the red.

"Is this a typical revenge punishment from Raven?" Donna asked.

"No, this is all Todd's fault!" Damian growled.

"Don't blame Jason, he just helped, I planned it," Raven stated which had Jaime, Gar, and Damian balking in unison. She smirked; Jason was just the right shove on her to be bold enough to implement her plans for a change.

The elevator doors dinged, Kori, Dick, and Bruce walked over to them then.

"What happened Garfield!?" Kori sputtered.

"Ask Raven and the new delinquent coming to the team!" Gar shouted.

"That's rich coming from you," Raven growled dangerously at Garfield. She remembered every petty prank Gar had pulled since she had gotten here. If he was going to call Jason a delinquent he would have to owe up to being a delinquent as well. Besides, Jason was better than all them with how he had treated her. Raven preferred his company to Gar's and Damian's (yes, she was still mad at her pushy friend, but she'd forgive him next week when he was no longer pink).

"Jason is joining the team, we've gotten him his gear, and he'll be here soon, Raven, can you and him stop dying the teammates?" Dick asked.

"If they behave," Raven answered as she walked out with her book. She opened a portal straight to Jason's claimed room and found him and Bruce there, she smiled then.

"So, you're really staying!?" she demanded, flying up and over his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm staying," he answered.

"Thank Azar! Here, you said you like Dumas!" she said as she produced the book she had gotten for him.

"The Nutcracker?" he blinked.

"It seemed appropriate," Raven said. "Also, it's my favorite."

"Thanks," he grinned and she felt his genuine happiness at the gift which had her preening a bit. He was easier to shop for than Damian. "And it's in French."

"Alfred said you had a gift for languages."

It was after Raven left, helping him set up his room that he looked over at Bruce. He bit his lip and looked down at his feet.

"You're not…" Jason started but he couldn't finish his question. He didn't know what to say to Bruce, he still wasn't sure how to be around Bruce. True Bruce had said he was forgiven, but Jason didn't know. He didn't know how long he'd been dead (he was guessing a while because Dickhead was all grown up now), but his last six months of memories, they weren't good. Bruce and Alfred both had sort of cut him down, and that had hurt immensely. Then there was the matter of his actual death, and he was pretty sure he'd be seeing a League shrink for that under Bruce's orders. Not that Jason minded really.

"What?"

"You're not mad I'm staying?" he asked softly.

A firm hand on his shoulder had him looking up at his mentor then, his dad, and he saw nothing angry in Bruce's eyes.

"No, Jay, I'm not mad about you staying," Bruce said with a firm tone which had Jason relaxing slightly. "I missed you, Jay," and Jason tensed when he found himself in a tight hug. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too," he admitted as he hesitantly wrapped his arms around Bruce. "Dad," he muttered as he buried his face in Bruce's shoulder.

Jason didn't catch the tears in Bruce's eyes at that word, or the way his dad tightened his grip.

"I'll visit, and you're welcomed home whenever you're ready," Bruce murmured into his hair. Jason nodded as he just took in the smell of Bruce again, his dad smelled like metal, Kevlar, fancy cologne and something that was just Bruce. Jason didn't want to forget his dad, his didn't want to lose Bruce. But he just couldn't go back to Gotham; yet. He would. Just not right now. Not when he was still scared of the clown.

"Thanks," Jason said when Bruce finally let him go.

"You're going to keep in touch, and I'll make you papers so you can go to school here," Bruce said. Jason perked up at that, he had liked school. "You can always come home Jay."

"Not… Not yet," he whispered. "I can't face him, I can't. Not yet."

"That's ok, you just, the door's always open Jay."

"For Raven, too?" he asked, if he was going to Gotham he was probably going to drag the girl along; after all she was quickly becoming his best friend and partner in crime.

"For Raven too, if she wishes to come to Gotham," Bruce said tightly.

"Oh she'll be coming," Jason grinned deviously. He had never had a friend before, this was going to be fun, and he wasn't going to waste his opportunity.

"I'll call you tonight Jay," Bruce said and Jason nodded as his dad and mentor left him.

'And in other news there's a new Titan,' a reporter spoke.

Bruce looked up at the picture. His sons were side by side, Jason' obvious growth spurt had him towering over Damian and almost taller than Dick. Jason's uniform had taken a more tactical approach and he work a black cowl.

'Sources say his name Red Robin. Perhaps another of the Bat's protégés?'
