Summary: Ever wonder how Speedy met Robin and why Robin is so affectionate toward him? Why Robin can actually get past Speedy's bad boy demeanor? Well lets just say from the beginning Speedy realized he had to watch out for this crazy but adorable little kid.
Rating: K+ for a small fight scene where nobody really gets injured badly. Seriously, though, nothing bad happens in this. Could probably pass for K but I'll try to be safe.
Disclaimer: I do no own Young Justice.

A/N: I think I made it clear who my favorite characters on Young Justice are (Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow). I think I've also made it clear that I absolutely love characterization. So it's only natural that I would love to see any of those three interacting with each other. So here I bring you how Speed met Robin.

I had heard on the news that Harley Quinn had escaped from Arkham and come to Star City to terrorize our civilians. But I thought she would be easy enough for me and Green Arrow to handle. The next thing I knew GA told me Batman was in town. It was unnecessary but at least he was cleaning up his mistake. Quinn was his villain, not mine. But I had assumed he came alone. I never thought he'd actually bring his kid along for a field trip. GA said Robin could handle himself, but I knew otherwise. I watched as he child's small body plummeted toward the ground.

My mind moved quickly. How could I save this boy from certain death?

I'd shoot off my grappling arrow and I'd grab him with my free arm. At the speed he was falling and the speed I'd need to be going to catch him in time we would probably be slammed against the building next to us but as long as I didn't let go at least he'd be alive. He'd be hurt but at least those were injuries he, and I, could heal from. He'd thank me later.

But before I could even aim my grappling arrow Robin contorted his body. At first he was heading down head first but now his back was toward the ground. Was the kid even thinking about the impact of the ground?

Robin fiddled with something at his side. A gun.

I didn't even get the chance to register that Batman's partner was using a lethal weapon before he shot it off; a grappling hook flew through the air, aimed at the building I was on. It landed on the other side. I realized what he had shot; a grappling gun.

The boy slingshot around the building through centrifugal force and up toward the sky, toward the top of the building where I watched dumbstruck. When he reached a height near me he reached his hand out. I was caught off guard but instinctively grabbed him before gravity could take him back down. When he was on his feet he recalled the grappling hook while snickering a sinister sounding maniacal laugh.

It all seemed so insane. I couldn't help but shake my head.

Robin aimed the grappling gun at the building where he had falling from, the building where Batman was fighting Quinn and her mooks. He shot it off and it caught the side of the building. He looked at me.

"You coming?" he asked and held out his arm.

I raised an eyebrow. What the Hell was going on? But I didn't yell out in confusion and rage like I normally did. I just let him grab me and we flew across the sky. In moments Robin and I were on top of the building. He rejoined his mentor in the fight and I watched, still dumbstruck. The two worked together in such cohesion.

I had always thought Quinn was a clown, no pun intended, and that GA and I could take care of her. But seeing her and her team of mooks fight the Goddamn Batman and his partner left me thankful for the dynamic duo.

Quinn kicked Batman toward the jaw, but he grabbed her foot and swung her around, toward her mooks. Robin, who was fighting the mooks, back flipped out of the way just in time, as if he knew his mentor was going to do that.

Quinn jumped back on to her feet, though it seemed her mooks were too injured. One of them struggled to get up too, but he quickly fell back down. Harley Quinn did a front flip, aiming for Robin's head, but Robin guarded his head with his hands and she bounced off him and back into the air. And then she did another flip and finally landed a hit on Batman. She kicked him in a chest and did a backflip off him. But to her surprise Robin stuck his leg out and tripped her arm. Her elbows buckled and she fell toward Robin, who rolled out of her way just in time.

"Miraculous team work, huh?" a familiar voice behind me said. I turned around to see Green Arrow. We continued to watch the fight. They were so in sync. Batman would set up a move and Robin would finish it or vice versa. It was a true partnership.

"Why don't we fight like that?" I asked.

"Why don't you listen like that?" Green Arrow said.

I started at Batman and Robin. Listen? Batman said nothing. He gave no commands. Somehow Robin just knew instinctively what to do. No, Green Arrow and I would never be able to silently communicate like they did.

Robin gave Harley Quinn one last punch, which left her staggering over toward the edge of the building. Batman caught her before she fell.

While Batman tied up Harley Quinn and her mooks Robin came over to me.

"Thanks for the help," Robin said sarcastically.

"Robin, be nice," Batman said from behind Robin. I hadn't even noticed him appear behind the kid. I just thanked God I didn't jump when he surprised me. GA would never let me live that down. "It may be their city but it's our villains." Batman turned to GA. "Sorry about the intrusion."

GA smiled and reached out his hand for Batman to shake. Batman accepted. "Never an intrusion to see a friend's face," GA said. "Thanks for keeping Star City's streets clean."

I folded my arms, a little jealous. GA never said thank you to me.

With our mentors now talking Robin took this opportunity to get to know me. But I just wanted to be left alone. "So how do you like being Green Arrow's sidekick?" Robin asked.

"I'm his partner," I said clearly emphasizing partner.

Robin snickered. "Does my word choice really upset you that much?"

"Yeah, it does."

Robin laughed again. I felt like I was arguing with a child. Hell I was arguing with a child. This kid couldn't be older than ten. "How old are you?" I asked.

"Ten."

I was right on the money. "Why does Batman risk a child in combat?" I asked.

"Hey, you're not much older," Robin retorted.

"I'm fifteen. I'm practically an adult."

GA must have heard that because he turned his head toward me and said, "Dear God, I'm terrifying of you getting a license next year. Please, I don't even want to think about you being legal."

Robin laughed.

"I think it's time to go," Batman said and he walked over to Quinn and her mooks lying on the ground.

Robin hesitated by my side. What did he want? He was smiling cheek to cheek.

"What?" I asked.

"It was nice to meet you." He lunged forward before I could stop him and hugged me. I rolled my eyes. Then he jumped backwards, did a flip in the air and joined his mentor on the other side of the building.

"The kid likes you," GA said.

"Shut up." I took out my grappling arrow and aimed it at another building. As I swung away a smirk appeared on my face. I think I had a fan. And he was absolutely adorable.

A/N: Well I thought that was cute. I hope you thought it was cute. I may write a second or third chapter that's about how Speedy meets Kid Flash or Aqualad but so far I'm out of ideas. However I'm totally going to write a series about Robin and Kid Flash meeting for the first time and a mission they go on together with the mentors. So far I have no ideas, but I've got a document already saved for it. Keep you look out for it in the future. In the meantime, please review! :D
