Okay, so I've been wanting to do one of these de-aging stories for like, the longest. Lol, obviously, most to all of my stories will be Robin-centric, so this one is to! Mind you, he's deaged back to when he was barely starting out as Robin.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. (There would be so much, much more Robin centric stuff if I did)

Batman and Robin dropped down into the warehouse silently. They had been chasing an up and coming criminal that went by the name of "Kyddi". How that name made sense, or even what he did was a mystery to both crusaders. The one thing they did know however, was that at every reported sighting of this guy, objects wound up either becoming rusty, or brand new.

With an annoyed (yet silent) sigh, they both made the realization of what this guy's gimmick was.

Looking around, both heroes saw- and took in the situation, five known unharmed hostages, and one red and grey looking thing.

No, not a person. Thing. A six-foot and three inches, behemoth, who was currently looking at a particular hostage like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. Raising it's right arm- the beast's skin began to bubble.

Then, it started twisting around- like it was configuring itself into a new shape.

Finally, a ray gun took shape starting from his forearm and made his way down to his fingertips. Kyddi grinned, and picked up the hostage in front of him who let out a small whimper.

"Now now, my darling," he cooed in his robotic-like voice, "do not fret. Don't you want to be young and strong again? Wouldn't you want those nasty wrinkles to go away- with just the flick of a switch?" As the girl he was holding let out an undignified 'hey!' and began struggling, he strengthened his grip. "Do not try and escape my hold. I have the strength of a thousand men! Not even the Batman can stop me."

At this, he turned around to face Batman, who was currently just about to sneak up on him.

"Yes Batman. I knew you were there. I take the time to understand all the potential variables to my opponent."

Twisting his face into something that was supposed to resemble a smirk, he looked up into the rafters. "Don't worry Robin. My scanners noticed your well hid heartbeat. Sadly, you are considered a variable, and variables are always changing are they not?" Throwing the woman he was holding to the side, he raised his arm towards Robin in the rafters. "Remember Batman- expect the unexpected. Although, I think you already know that. Robin? Have fun."

Shooting the ray towards the young vigilante once, Kyddi fled the scene.

Arriving at the Batcave, Batman pulled the bundle of cape from the backseat.

Inside of his midnight black cape laid a young Dick Grayson, fast asleep. Gently, he laid the child onto a medical chair and called for Alfred.

Upon entering the cave, the butlers eyes went from their usual impassive stare, to one of shock. Gently brushing a lock of onyx black hair from the kid's face, as to not wake him, he whispered:

"Oh Master Richard, what have you gotten yourself into now, my boy?"

After running all possible scans on Dick as he could, he returned him to bed. If he had to guess his age, it would probably be around seven or eight years old.

Right as he started being Robin.

Just a few months after his parents died.

Although it wasn't yet determined if his mind set was still that of a thirteen year olds, Bruce could guess that that wasn't the case by the way he was sucking his thumb.

A habit he'd finally broken at age nine.

As he was brushing strands of hair away from the de aged childs face, a few irritable thoughts hit him. I've got a mandatory board meeting tomorrow, all friggen day. Alfred has got to fly out to England, and i'll bet Clark has plans with Louis, it is a Saturday. Groaning, he realized what he had to do.

Dick would need to be watched by Young Justice.
