July 17th
Mt Justice, 2 Years Later
The team arrived in the cave, bruised and a little burned. Robin looked like hell, his costume was cut, cape was torn, and half of his mask was missing, and there was dry blood on his face. Everyone else was a bit roughed up, but no where near bad as him, appearance wise. He was uses to pain like this, and was able to walk normal, everyone else not so much. Wally nearly broke his leg, Artemis had a two broken finger, Conner (believe it or not) had a black eye and a bruised forearm.
"Team, well done," came the cold voice of Batman. They had fulfilled the missions objective, but there were "complication." They had been sent to confirm sighting of a League of Shadows base, and destroy it. They confirmed the bases existence, but were seriously out gunned inside. The thugs inside were not an issue, they were trained for theat sort of thing. But Bizzaro, Superman's imperfect clone, was being held there. And they some how released him, that's went things went to hell. Conner hoped that he could reason with Bizzaro, but was savagely beaten. Robin got Bizzaro off him, at the cost of being thrown through a wall, Artemis and Wally were no match for him either. It all seemed hopeless, until Robin found the one thing that could stop Bizzaro, Blue Kryptonite. Which Robin used to force Bizzaro in to a status pod, once Bizzaro was in, Robin activated the pod, and set the timer to 50 years. Then a platoon of Shadows appeared, and Robin had to fight them all, it wasn't easy but he won. Once Superboy woke up, he lifted the pod knot the Bio-Ship, blew up the base and they came home. Conner had give the pod to Superman, who took it to his Fortress of Solitude.
"Not only did you destroy the base," Batman said emotionlessly, "But you also succeeded in capturing Bizzaro." Robin went wide eye with horror.
"What? You know about him," he angrily asked, Batman nodded, "And you left this out! Why?" Batman glared at him, Robin didn't care. Just then Zatanna, Rocket, Megan, and Black Canary walked in. Zatanna smiled when she saw Robin, but then she saw the stare down between him and his mentor. "I didn't know for sure if he was there," Batman roboticly said, "And I didn't want your team to be worried over nothing."
Robin's anger was visible, "NOTHING? NOTHING!" He shouted, "We almost die back there! If it weren't that blue Kryptonite we'd be dead! You've could just told us so we were better prepared!" Batman tried to calm his protege down, but when he tried, Robin did the most unexpected thing. He punched Batman Everyone gasped, and their heart's all skipped a beat. Batman silently looked at him, with hurt. Not physical, emotional. "I QUIT!"
Robin took off his cape, and looked down at the symbol on his chest, more anger entered his face. He ripped the symbol off his chest, his symbol. He then ripped of what remained of his mask, and threw it to the ground. Reveling his face, normally everyone would have been amazed by what they saw, but they were still processing his last words. He was quitting! Quitting what, the team, or the everything. Zatanna was on the verge of tears.
"I'm done with you Batman," he finally spoke up, "I'm gathering up my stuff, and returning to cave. I'm done living in your shadow, and I'm sick of you being so damned heartless! More importantly, I'm done being Robin." Those were his final words before using a zeta tube, Batman for the first time looked weak, human. He had brought this upon himself they all knew that, but they never expected Robi...the boy wonder to be that harsh to his father. They stood there silently, for a long award ten minutes, not saying anything. Then the computer broke the silence, "Recognize:Robin B01."
The boy wonder entered the scene just as he left it, but now he wore a new mask, it looked different from his other. He carried two bags on his back, and two duffle bags in hand. And a Wayne Tech crate was in front of him. Conner offered to help him with the crate, he accepted. They disappeared to his room. Eventually everyone left the room, and back to their normal lives, Batman returned to Gotham, not saying a word. The team gathered in the living room waiting for Conner and their boy wonder to join them. Sadly only Conner joined them, "Hey where is he?" Artemis asked. Conner shook his head slowly, "He said he has work to do." Zatanna got up and went to her boyfriend's room, she needed to talk to him.
She knocked on the door and Dicks voice answered, "I don't want to talk about it." The then heard power tools a plasma torches being used. "Dick," she spoke loud enough to be heard, "It's me. Please open the door, or I will myself." For a moment there was nothing, she was getting worried. Then she heard several locks being unlatched. The door open, and Dick stood before her. The dry blood was still on his face, but she didn't care she kissed him, and he returned motion. Closing the door behind them, they separated, and Zatanna looked around the room, she had been in it several times, but not like this. Designs were hanging on the walls, tools were layer around, and the newest addition was a set of gray armor that looked similar to Batmans. It was right there and then she knew that he had changed. But what concerned her was how much?

So what do you guys think? I know that this chapter is very predictable, but it need to be done. Also I may add more to this chapter later on, I haven't decided so I'll leave it up to you guys.
