Simple complication

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice

A/N: yeah there a like a thousand de-aged fics but what the hell I'm in a fluffy mood! So here it goes. Okay I placed Robin at eight even though he started being Robin when he was nine, just because I wanted involvement with Bruce but confusion about heroes. Sorry if that complicates things.

IT should have been a simple mission but can't that be said about all the team missions. Of course it all turned into a big mess that mostly involved super boy basing threw a wall and Wally running into a wall. Lights are flashing, alarms are going off.

It should be simple, some Cadmus scientist starting things up again; yeah this really should have been simple. Some why does Wally find himself in the way of an explosion? And why is Robin pushing out of the way. The explosion roars and Kid flash screams out for his friend. Super boy turns while bashing the final two baddies heads together. M'gann lets out a cry of fear when she sees Robin engulfed.

The flame and smoke let a final WOOSH that sends the entire young hero's backward. They regain balance and cough waving at the smoke.

"Rob," Kid flash cries out rushing into the smoke at super speed. Wally looks around desperately but a small moan catches his ears. KF looks left and down to see what he thought was Robin until he gets close. It is Robin's clothing but inside them is a small boy who couldn't be older than eight. There is a gash on his right arm and his face is dusty and bruised.

Wally kneels beside the boy and touches the mask over his eyes. He is pale under the dust, like Robin, and has jet black hair, like Robin. Wally hadn't met Robin until he was elven and this boy looks very much like that. Slowly Wally picks up the boy and walks back to the team.

"Where is Robin," Kaldur asks worriedly.

"And who's the kid," Artemis demands.

"I…," KF pauses. "I think this is Robin…"

Dick Grayson squeezes his eyes shut, tossing and turning. His mind is racing in panic. He wants to wake up but he can't. In a desperate effort his lungs let a cry escape.

"MOM DAD," the boy sits up and screams his heart pounding in his ears. The first think he notices is that he is in pain, a lot of pain. The second thing he notices is that he is not at home or his new home. He'd only been living with Mr. Wayne for a few weeks but he knows this place is not the man's mansion.

He's on the coach in a big room that's walls appear to be made of stone. His stomach plunges down as fear sets in. his heart races. This is not right. A few weeks ago Dick wouldn't have panicked or cried, but a few weeks ago he didn't watches his parents fall to their deaths.

He draws his knees to his chest and rocks back and forth tears rolling down his face. He can feel the hyperventilation coming on. He wants his parent's, he want's Mr. Wayne or Alfred. Tears pour down his face in loud gasping sobs.

"Robin," a voice cries. Dick's heart leaps, that's what his parent's called him. His eye's shoot open but what meets him is a red head in a yellow and red body suit. He rush to Dick and by rush it means a blur and the boy is suddenly before the boy. Dick let out a cry of fear and pulled further into himself. He lets out a whimper of sheer fear.

"Hey Rob what's wrong," the red head asks reaching out to touch the little boy's shoulder.

"No," the boy cries at. "Stay away! Please don't hurt me!" Dick hates how weak he sounds but he's scared and confused.

"Hey don't cry," Kid flash says panicked. "I'm not going to hurt you!"

"Wally is he wake," a female voice calls. Robin looks to see a girl, a green girl.

"Yeah but he's really freaked out," Wally says to the Martian. M'gann kneels before Robin.

"Robin," She says softly. "Are you alright?" and the boy finally break.

"No I'm not," he sobs tears streaming down his face. "I don't know who you are or where I am! I want to go home! I want to be with Mr. Wayne!" Wally and M'gann are at a loss

"We should call batman," M'gann says.

"Oh yeah cuz that does gonna be fun..."

Break line

All Wally had to say was 'Robin is hurt' and at speed that could rival flash the dark knight arrives. Wally blankly points to the coach where the little boy is curled. It takes all the man has to stop his mouth from dropping open. He knows the boy on the coach in a second. The way he is shaking and crying, he knows.

"Everyone out," Batman growls. Wally opens his mouth to protest but he gets the famous bat glare and flees the room. Bruce takes three long strides before he is kneeling before his ward.

"y-you're batman," Dick whimpers. Bruce nods but pulls down his cowl reviling his secret identity. Dick's mouth drops open in shock and awe. All the little boy can do is staring.

"Dick," Bruce says very softly. "What is the last thing you remember?" Dick frowns and gives a cute expression of thinking.

"I-I started my first day at school," Dick mumbles almost asking if he is right. Bruce frown: that was a bad day.

"Why am I here," Dick asks. "What's happening?" tears are flowing down the boy's face.

"That's very hard to explain Dick," Bruce says. "But right now I think we should go home." Bruce offers a smile and Dick nods his head meekly trying to hide a yawn. Bruce chuckles and picks up the boy who rests his head on his shoulder.

"Thank you Mr. Wayne," Dick yawns.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Bruce," Batman jokes. "oh and Wally tell the rest of the team we'll be back tomorrow and if you're going to spy on someone you should really stop your stomach from roaring." And with that Batman and the boy who should be Robin go through the Zeta beam.
