Terribly sorry for the long wait. I hope this last chapter is worth it!

I have mentioned the book Divergent in this chapter. It is a real book, and I will have you know that I am not the author.

Chapter 11

After the whole incident, Wally proclaimed Robin to have personality disorder, which is most likely true.

Anyways, we're getting off topic. What really happened after the whole incident was that the team started to understand Robin a little bit better. They learned why he did certain things, and why he felt the way he did about others. Occasionally they'd see something that only Sparrow would do, like when during the middle of a fight Robin would use a specific move that even the Batman wouldn't know because he hadn't been in a gang.

However, they also learned some more personal things about Robin, like when his birthday was. After they rescued Ash Quertz, Bats got a little more lenient. A little bit. Not much.

Today was March 21st, and of course the team decided that they absolutely had to celebrate their 'brother's' fifteenth birthday.

Throughout the day the cave just barely managed to stay in one piece. I mean, when you have nine (because Roy was hiding, trying not to be seen & Crowe & Viper had been allowed to come) teenagers playing paintball, twister, and other various games, things are definitely bound to get a little hectic.

Finally it was getting late, and Wally decided that it was time for Robin to open presents. This had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Robin desperately wanted to go and spend the rest of the day with Batman. No siree.

- Artemis jokingly got Robin a collar with bells on it. (The real present was a new CD player with earphones.)

- Roy gave his little brother a cloak with a hood (he claimed he found it at the DI) that was a deep gray with swirling designs stitched in black. The edge was also black.

- Conner made the birthday boy a green crocheted shirt while M'gann, not nearly as experienced, simply stuck with a nicely knitted blue scarf.

- Kaldur bought Robin the book Divergent, which the boy had been claiming was way asterous and that he really needed to add it to his vast library.

- Viper had hand carved a miniature baseball bat and put it on a necklace. She had also painstakingly carved 'Rage the 35th' into the side of it. (Robin is right now wearing it.)

- Crowe gave him nine tickets for the newest, most expensive laser tag place in the whole of Gotham City. (Gee, wonder how he managed that one.)

And then Wally. Wally, Wally, Wally.

Wally claimed that Robin had to open his the last, because his was definitely the best. The box he gave to Robin was very long, and skinny. When Robin tore off the paper and opened up the box, he was in for a surprise.

Now, Sparrow had been searching for a new baseball bat for ages. It had now been about two months, and he had yet to find one.

This, this baseball bat was absolutely . . . magnificent. The brown wood had ornate carvings that looked like they could have been straight from a movie on it.

"Thanks, Wal-man," Robin took it out of the box and all (mainly Crowe and Viper) gasped at the beautiful 'weapon'.

Wally smirked. "Anytime."

Robin frowned at that. There was something going on. But he didn't have time to consider it as he spotted a fleck of gray on the baseball bat. Whoops. Must have gotten some of the wrapping paper on it, he thought.

The Boy Wonder started scratching at it, despite Wally's protests, and soon found that the bat . . .

Was made of aluminum.

In short, it had been painted to look like it was wooden.

The two gangsters in the room along with Robin glared.

"That's funny, Wally. Hilarious," Viper drawled.

Wally chuckled nervously and pulled another baseball bat that looked exactly like the other out from behind his back. "I was just kidding with you, Rob! I promise this one is for real."

Robin stood up, grinned, and pulled everyone into a group hug, ignoring the many, many protests.

"Thanks for the best birthday ever guys."

Eight Months Later

Sparrow was working to help Viper out of a sticky situation when it happend.

Rage the Thirty-Eighth was wrecked.

She had lasted the longest, and it was a shame to see her go. Almost harder than the thirty-seventh.

Sparrow decided to do the ceremony on his own this time. When he got to the alley-way just behind Wayne Manor he started to build the fire, when he noticed something.

There was a shiny something stuck in between the two pieces of wood from his baseball bat. Sparrow broke it free and immediately his eyes narrowed.

Inside his baseball bat had been a quarter. A slice of . . . metal .
And then the fifteen-year-old noticed something else. Right next to it was a slip of paper that had also been lodged inside the bat. On the paper read:

Ha! I wish I could see your face!

I'm going to die now. Better start running.

Now. Who was the one who gave him the baseball bat in the first place?

Right. You know who.

And who else would take that much time to put a quarter and note inside a baseball bat?

Right.

" . . . Wally . . . "

So. This was the last chapter. Did I mention that it was really fun to right, and that I've had this last chapter in my head ever since before I was half-way through typing the story?

Oh, as I was reading this to my fellow authoress, also my best friend, she brought up the point that Zatanna, Rocket, and a few other characters should have been present as Robin was now fifteen . . . My response was, "I don't give a care." Please forgive me for not adding them in. I didn't think about it when I was writing it.

And with the tickets that Crowe got Robin, my fellow authoress was laughing and said that he probably got another gangster to give them to him and said something like, "You'll have two of the greatest gang leaders on your side afterwards."I was laughing so hard! It wasn't what I had been intending when I wrote it, but still!

It's been great writing this story, and I hope that you all enjoyed it too.

Thanks to all who have contributed, whether with your reviews, favorites, follows, or anything else I've missed.

But I would like to ask how you all thought about this ending.

One last review for this story please?
