Hey guys! I wanted to write at least one fanfic about Robin's parents so... here it is! Sorry I haven't updated A Time To Be yet, I'm getting there.

Well, have fun with this, its gonna be just a one shot for now I think, but I might change it later!

And no, if you were wondering, I don't own any of this.

(P.S. I decided to make a second chapter because this one was getting too long. 'Concise' my ass, literature teacher.


Tomorrow. It happens tomorrow. The thing that changed a little birds life. The day that Dick Grayson can never - will never - forget.

Robin was curled up on the couch of the rec. room of Mount Justice at a time when no teenager should be awake. He was staring blankly ahead of him, not really paying attention to his surroundings. Good thing Batman wasn't here; he'd have the boys hide if it had been any other day.

.

Kaldur had woken everyone up, save for Robin. He figured since there was no answer when he'd knocked meant that the bird was already awake, much to his displeasure. The boy needed his sleep.

The team walked in, shocked to see a small form in the fetal position on the couch. All except for Wally, of course. He knew exactly what was going on. How could he forget?

The speedster walked up to the body as a speed that would normally having the rest of the team worried about his health. Wally never walked.

"Hey, Rob." The redhead knelt in front of the couch, hesitantly reaching out to grasp his best friend's hand, which were limp in the cushion. "You ok, man?"

The Boy Wonder didn't show any kind of reaction, or even a clue that he had heard him at all. Masked eyes were staring straight ahead, through Flash's protégé, into another world. One where there was only the sharp pain of loss.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team was still frozen. Jaws were dropped, eyes were wide. Kaldur was the first to react. "What is wrong with Robin, Wally?"

As if snapped out of slumber, the team made their way to the couch, where the Boy Wonder still had not moved.

"I can't- I can't tell you," was Wally's reply. "Let's just say Rob's having a bad day."

"A bad day?" That was Artemis. She had always been protective of the bird. "Baywatch, he hasn't moved a muscle since we came in here! He's not responding! And you're calling this a bad day?!"

The speedster winced at her words. "I want to, Artemis, but I can't. It has to do with Rob's secret ID."

That got them all quiet.

All except one.

"Nu, nu, nu." Robin's hands clenched. Wally was forced to extract his own, because the boy was tightening his fingers to the point of breaking his.

"Robin? Oh God, Robin, snap out of it." Robin made no attempt to process the other boy's words.

The rest of the team had developed sightly horrified expressions, even stoic - faced Superboy.

"Mamă, tată, nu mă face să văd acest lucru din nou..."

Zatanna spoke up, fear seeping into her voice. "Wha-what is he saying?"

"He's...well, he talking in Romanian. His first language, before English," Wally replied.

M'gann looked like she was about to say something, but a shrill cry erupted from a certain bird's throat before she could.

"Robin!" Wally took to shaking the boy's shoulders.

"Nu, nu, nu! Oh, Doamne, nu din nou. Va rugam sa nu. Nici măcar nu e ziua! De ce este așa când mâine e zi! Nu înțeleg! Cineva se termine, să se oprească! Omoară-mă! Omoară-mă!"

The speedster's eyes widened. He didn't know much of the language, but he had heard the words come from the Boy Wonder's mouth enough times to know what it meant. 'Omoară-mă!' 'Kill me!'

"Oh God," Wally whimpered. "Help me snap him out of it!"

But no matter what they tried, the boy was still unresponsive. That is, until Kaldur got fed up with it all.

"Move," he growled with such intensity that the entire team immediately obeyed.

Pressing one hand to Robin's chest, he let out a light shock of electricity that make the boy let out a strangled cry, his back arching impossibly far off of the couch.

"AQUALAD!" Wally shoved him away from the Boy Wonder, who was breathing heavily.

"Why the hell did you do that?!" Aqualad shrugged. "It worked, did it not?"

And it had.

"Dammit Kaldur!" All eyes turned at the abrupt statement coming from the cushions.

The Boy Wonder himself was sitting up, a hand pressed against his chest. There was a moment of silence, and then four bodies were descending upon one small one.

(Kaldur remained back, a rare smug look on his face. And Superboy, well, he had never been much of a hugger.)

M'gann completely pounced on Robin, cutting off his air supply. Zatanna was next, along with Artemis, and then Wally.

"Whoa, guys, can't breath here!"

After a while, Robin managed to get his teammates off of him.

Wally leaned in. "Rob, do you- do you think you'll be ok?" The Boy Wonder looked him in the eye.

"I will." They all let out breaths of relief, but he wasn't finished.

"Until tonight."
