I'm attempting to write a story with a comic book air to it, with action, fighting and things of the sort so I figured I would test the style by writing a fan fic. Hope you like and keep in mind that Robin is just a little kid at the moment so her personality isn't quite like it is in the show, but it will evolve.

He grabbed a bag of chips out of the cupboard and went and sat in front of the TV. It was his day off from crime fighting, unless something important came up, and he was planning to take full advantage of it before his mum came home and told him to do his homework. As he flipped through channels, however, there was a gust of wind and his Uncle Barry appeared in front of the television in his hero costume.

"Get dressed, we have a mission," he said, his voice calm as though he hadn't just ran from his place.

Wally ran to his room and was back in less than a second dressed in his costume. "What's the mission?"

"Truthfully, backup." When the Flash only got a confused look from his nephew, he explained. "You know how, on your first mission, we went up against armed robbers?"

"Yeah," Kid Flash replied slowly. "And only really have gone up against robbers."

The older hero sighed. "Well, Batman's sidekick is going up against Mister Freeze for his first mission."

"What? But that's crazy."

The Flash shrugged. "I know, but it's Batman. Anyway, he wants us, as well as Green Arrow, Speedy and Green Lantern to be there if needed. We aren't meant to rush in unless there's a problem. Come on."

They ran to the location, only to find all the other heroes already waiting on the railing at the top of the building. They snuck in through a window in the roof to join them. They landed silently to the left of Speedy, who smiled at their arrival.

"Hey, any sign of the new kid?" Kid Flash asked in a whisper.

Speedy shook his head, looking down at Batman who was fighting off minions. "Nope, maybe Batman changed his mind. The guy's been fighting on his own."

Green Arrow chuckled softly from beside his protégée. "No his not. Robin is up there." He pointed to a room that hung over the large clearing in which Batman was fighting, and was higher up then even the heroes hiding in the shadows. "He's been in there from before Batman showed up. I'm guessing his hacking the computers for information. Green Lantern's keeping an eye on him."

"Robin, is that his name?" The Flash whispered, leaning around his nephew to get closer to his friend.

"Yeah, the only thing I know about the boy."

Batman took a hit and went sliding along the ground. He quickly recovered as Mister Freezer started clapping in a sarcastic way.

"Bravo, as always, those who fight alone, die." Moments after he said this, a laugh came across the speakers. "What was that?"

"My protégée, Robin."

There was a crash from the room in which Robin was in before a small figure came out onto the balcony overlooking the warehouse floor. The figure was quickly followed by a minion. The large build of the minion easily dwarfed the young hero, but the little figure braised itself on the railing and kicked the man hard in the chest, making him stumble back into the room. The hero then turned and climbed onto the railing, jumping from the railing to the metal light that hung from a chain at either end. With the child hanging from the light by their hands, the hero's slightly further down had a clear view of them.

They were skinny, small, clad in a black and red costume with a yellow belt and yellow in the underside of the black cape and if their soft facial features were anything to go off of, a girl. Robin swung enough to do a flip so that she was standing on the light, making it shake a little.

"Robin's a girl?" gasped Kid Flash, the first to recover. "I thought you said Robin was a boy."

"I just assumed Robin was," explained Greed Arrow, gawking at the young girl in surprise.

They watched the young girl do an elegant leap to the next light before calling down to her mentor. "Are you alright down there, Batman?"

"Fine."

"I'll be down in a sec." She pulled something from her yellow belt and threw something at the two pillars helping to keep the computer room standing. After that, she flipped, landing on the railing in front of Kid Flash. She bent forward so that her eyes were level with his, though hers were hidden behind her mask. "You lot may want to move. I'm going to blow up the computer room and you'll get squished."

Kid Flash was speechless, looking at the girl who was so elegantly standing in front of him on a railing. She was so small yet she was facing bigger bad guys then he ever had. He had to be pulled out of the crash zone by Flash for he was not paying attention.

Robin connected a rope to one of the lights so that she could swing down, landing next to her mentor, knocking out two minions before she put her feet on the ground. "I see you brought back up." She smiled cheekily at Mister Freeze. "You're the guy who can't live if his not cold. I hope you didn't want your computers."

"Why do you say that, pipsqueak?" the villain sneered.

"Well," Robin started slowly, "I've already transferred all the information to this tablet," she held it up, "so I don't need the computers anymore, hence I'm going to blow it up." She raised the hand holding the trigger button for the bombs. She pressed the button, not flinching at the noise or the debris. However, she didn't notice a large shard of metal that come flying at her but someone else did.

As Batman shielded himself from the debris with his cape, Kid Flash watched as Robin simply turned her head, letting her hair protect her face. He admired her skill. She was calm, talented, brave and a smartalic. She showed personality, which is something she and Batman differed on. Truthfully, Robin was what Kid Flash always pictured a young hero to be. It was as he studied her like this that he noticed the large metal come hurling towards her. He quickly ran down, jumping over the railing faster than the speed of light and tackled her out of the way. He felt the metal run across his skin, cutting his arm deeply. He bit back a yell of pain as he cradled Robin's head to his chest so as to not hit it against the concrete. His gloved hand disappeared into her thick black hair as they lay there, waiting for the scene to calm.

When it did, he released Robin's head and move back far enough to see her face. It was sculpted in an expression of shock as she gazed at him. He was found speechless again, but this time it was not from her grace but from her youth. It never truly crossed his mind how old Robin was but he was certain she was younger than him and at the moment she looked no older than eight or nine years old.

"You...you're bleeding!" she stammered in a frightened voice.

Wally gave her a reassuring smile. "At least you're okay, that's all that matters." Looking at the young girl, who looked like a little doll, he silently made a promise that he would do everything in his power to make sure she was never hurt. He got up, pulling her to her feet.

They looked over to see that Batman had tied up Mister Freeze who was covered in dust from the explosion and that Green Lantern was dragging minions out of the stairwell that once led to the computer room. The dark knight looked mad that his protégé had almost been killed. Quickly, he swooped down on the two children.

"Are you alright?" he asked in a voice that stunned Wally. He sounded so frightened and worried.

"I'm fine," Robin assured, opening a container on her belt to pull out some bandages.

"Are you certain? You should be more careful, Kid Flash may not be here next time."

"Dad, calm down, I'm fine."

The Flash, Green Arrow and Green Lantern all stopped moving towards them in shock. They had known Batman was training a protégé but they did not realize said protégé was his daughter. The way he was acting, however, showed he was a devoted father to this girl. They recovered when Speedy clamped a hand on her shoulder as she cleaned Wally's injury.

"You did really well," said the young archer before he grinned at the eleven-year-old boy. "Unlike Kid Flash here."

Wally turned red as Robin opened her mouth to reply. "It's not his fault. He shouldn't have had to save me. I should have realized I needed to duck."

Green Arrow frowned, moving closer to Robin's face. "How old are you?"

"Eight," she answered truthfully.

"Eight?" the man yelped, jumping back in surprise before looking at Batman.

"I'll be nine in two months," she added, finishing wrapping up Wally's arm.

"She is so cute," gushed the Flash, hugging her to him. It was clear he was squashing her head by the way she squirmed. "Batman, you have the cutest little protégé. I just want to eat her all up."

Robin finally wiggled out of his hold and ran to hide behind Batman, pulling his cape around her so they could only see the white of her mask. This action just made Flash gush more.

"Flash, she may be a hero but you're still scaring her," remarked Green Lantern, smiling at the girl.

"Robin, what was on the tablet?" Batman asked, looking down at his leg where she was hiding.

She slowly moved out from behind him, though still keeping an eye on the Flash. "He was planning to create a serum that contained the virus his wife is suffering from. He was then going to inject it into some powerful people, including the Major, head of the police force and Bruce Wayne. Since his the leading expert in the illness I think he was betting that mass panic would make everyone give him the funding to create a cure. I can understand him wanting to save his wife but he was also planning to use the money to make some evil machines." She ignored Flash's giggle at her saying evil instead of another word like corrupt, heavy duty or anything less childish. "He has a little bit of my respect though."

"Why's that?" Batman asked in his deep voice.

"He didn't name any of them Death Ray," she laughed, showing the tablet to Batman. She then surveyed the mess she had caused. "Hey, do you think the opposite of destruction is truction? Or is it protruction, because pro is positive?"

"I don't know," admitted Wally, scratching his head. "It's possible, though I think it would be the truction one because des is the negative of it like disbelieve, disable, just with an E."

Robin nodded as though that made perfect sense.

"Does she do that a lot?" Speedy whispered to Batman, getting a short nod off the man. "She and Kid Flash will get along fine then." He turned to the little hero. "I loved the laugh. Is that your trademark thing?"

"No," answered Batman for her before smirking. "But it should be."

Robin laughed before stopping, her tongue prodding at something in her mouth. "Ah hab a wiggly toof," she proclaimed, pushing it with her tongue as she talked. Next minute she gave a screech of surprise as Flash pulled her into a hug.

"She's so cute, Batman! Why'd you hide her from us for so long?"

"I was afraid you would smother her to death," joked the dark night.

The little girl flipped herself over the Flash, successfully getting out of the speedster's grip.

"You're like a circus clown," joked Kid Flash only to find his feet knocked out from under him. He looked up at Robin in shock from his place on the ground.

"You're the clown, I'm an acrobat," teased Robin with a smirk. She turned so she could easily hold her hand out to Wally. "KF, for the fastest kid alive you didn't even see that coming."

Wally accepted the hand, letting the younger girl pull him to his feet. "No, I didn't," he confessed, looking impressed with the new hero.

As the heroes waited for the police to show up and take the villains to prison Speedy offered to teach Robin how to fire his bow, since she seemed interested in it. Unfortunately, Speedy's bow had a lot of tension in it and Robin had trouble pulling the string back. The older hero tried not to laugh at her pouting face as he came up behind her to help her.

"Okay, now just aim," he started, letting her point the arrow, which was at Kid Flash. Thankfully it was just a soft rubber arrow Speedy had accidently left in his quiver from practicing. "And release."

Robin laughed childishly as the arrow flew at Kid Flash, who hadn't been paying attention and hit him in the chest. "I got him, I got him," she sung, jumping up and down.

"Naww," Flash said making Robin turn to face him, loading a net arrow into the bow.

"You stay over there!" She tried to pull the string back but only moved it an inch before her strength gave out. Thankfully, Speedy decided to help her like he did before. She shot it but he stepped out of the way with his high speed, making the net catch one of the police officers that came through the door at that time. She cringed into herself and giggled lightly behind her hand. "Sorry," she yelled out.

As the man was helped out of the net the Chief came forward, crouching down in front of Robin and putting a friendly smile on. "That's a cute little costume. Did that bad man over there capture you?"

Robin frowned and all the heroes in the room had no doubt that if the mask hadn't hid her eyes, they would be glaring daggers at the man. "No," she said, hurt in her voice that the man would think her weak.

"She's a hero," Wally stated, coming to her aid. He was going to keep his promise as best he could, and that meant emotional pain as well. "And a great one too."

"I blew up that room!" she stated proudly, pointing at the reminisce of the computer room. "And I'm his daughter."

The Chief looked surprised when he followed the young girl's finger to where she was pointing at the Dark Knight. "Really?"

Robin nodded her head before opening her mouth. "Batman, the Chief's here."

Batman finished his conversation with Green Arrow and Green Lantern before walking over to the sidekicks, putting his hand on his daughter's shoulder.

"Mister Freezer and his minions are all tide up and I have already made you a copy of what he had been planning." He gave them said copy before he nodded his head.

"Hey, I need to get a souvenir!" exclaimed Wally, trying to find something suitable.

Robin bit her lip, looking around. A smile spread across her face before she walked off. She came back holding a metal shard around the size of a ruler. Wally recognized it at the large piece of metal that had been flying towards Robin's heart before he knocked her out of the way. "Here you go." She handed it to the redhead, making sure he was careful with the sharp edges.

Batman put his hands on his daughter's shoulders, drawing her to him to stand in front of him. "Robin and I are going to leave now."

Robin smiled widely, handing Speedy back his bow, which she seemed to have forgotten she was holding until then. "Thank you," she said before turning to everyone else and waving, "bye." Next moment her feet were off the ground as the Flash appeared behind her and hugged her, lifting her up. "Put me down!"

At Batman's dark glare, the man clad in red let go of the little girl, letting her be stirred out of the building by her mentor.

She punched the punching bag as hard as she could over and over again. She was covered in a layer of sweat after having worked out for so many hours and didn't seem to be planning to stop any time soon. Robin had nothing to do other then this and she didn't feel like sitting around bored.

As the punching bag swung on its chain from the powerful hit, the door to the gym opened. Walking through the threshold was one of the most powerful men in Gotham, Bruce Wayne, also known as her father. He came up behind the bag and held it still as the little girl roundhouse kicked it, after that, he let go, walking up to the panting girl.

"I just got a call in the Batcave," he said softly, watching his adopted daughter as she tried to catch her breath.

"Mission?" she puffed before taking a deep breath, allowing her heart rate to settle.

"No, Flash is taking Kid Flash and Speedy out for pizza with his wife and wanted to know if you wanted to come." Bruce smiled at Robin's worried look. "He won't attack you, Iris is really good at keeping him in check."

"But you said I can't tell anyone who I really am, they are only allowed to know me as Robin," reminded the young hero.

"You're not going to go as Riley Grayson, you are going to go as Robin, but not in costume. Just wear dark sunglasses and nothing you would wear out with me," instructed the man.

"So no expensive clothing… How about jeans and a t-shirt?" When her father nodded, she smiled and ran to have a shower. "Tell them I'm there."

She quickly got ready and walking into her adopted father's office. Robin, at first, had been highly reluctant at first to consider him as her dad but after some time, she had came to realize that it was not an insult to her father's memory to see Bruce as her dad and even call him it since she would always love her biological father. She felt that Bruce deserved to be called dad after everything he had done for her.

"How do I look?" she asked, showing her father her choice in clothing. She wore tight, skinny legged black jeans with a purple t-shirt.

He took one glance before turning back to his work. "You need a jacket."

"Got one!" from behind her back she produced a green hooded jumper. Green was her all time favourite colour so the jumper was well worn. "How am I getting there?"

"Alfred will drop you one street over," explained Bruce. "Just call when you want to be picked up."

Alfred drove her into Central City, giving her little bits of information about the city as they drove. He informed her that Flash and Kid Flash protected the city which made Robin laugh.

"All the kids in this place will never be safe."

Alfred laughed. "I have been informed by Master Bruce that he can be a little eccentric." Robin snorted as Alfred pulled up. "The pizza place is up the road and around the corner. I will drive by it in five minutes to make sure you are safe but do you have your utility belt?"

"Yes, dad's taught me to keep it on me at all times." Robin unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door. Before she stepped out she moved over and leant forward, giving Alfred a hug from the back seat. "Thanks."

"You are most welcome, Miss Robin."

The girl laughed as she hopped out of the car, closing the door and running up the street. With running she was able to get to the pizza place before Alfred drove passed. However, upon entering she realised there was a problem. She had no clue what any of them looked like as civilians. She had only met them once, so all she knew was that Speedy had copper-brown hair and she only came up to his shoulder. Kid Flash was a little easier, since she knew he had red hair and green eyes, but Flash she knew nothing of besides that he was reasonably tall and he thought she was cute.

She looked around at the few people who sat in the shop, but no table held two boys, a man and a woman. As she was wondering what she should do to narrow down who they could be, she felt a small breeze beside her. Robin looked over and raised an eyebrow.

There stood a boy only a few years older than herself with green eyes, red hair and a mischievous smile. "We realised when you arrived that you wouldn't recognise us. I'm Wally." He held out his hand.

Robin shook it, smirking at him. "Robin."

Wally shook his head, snorting with laughter. "That's not your real name."

"How would you know?" Robin looked around, realising he hand ran to her side. "Is it safe for you to... move fast in public?"

"This place is owned by an ex-hero. Heroes and their families can come here and be themselves." Wally led her to the booth in the back where a fourteen year old, a man and two women sat. "Found her!" Wally exclaimed. "But Bats has given her orders not to tell us her real name."

Robin smiled shyly as the man who was clearly the Flash beamed at her.

"I'm Barry," he introduced, "This is my wife, Iris, you might recognise her from the News, this is Roy and this is Dinah, also known as Black Canary. Iris, Dinah, this is Robin, Batman's protégé."

Robin gave a small wave before Wally pushed her into the booth, sitting next to her. The group talked of nothing in particular until the pizzas they ordered appeared on the table. She picked up a slice as the cheerful blonde woman turned to her.

"So, I never even knew Batman had a daughter. Where's your mother?" Dinah smiled at the girl as she pulled a slice of cheese pizza to her.

The black haired girl swallowed the bite she had taken before answering truthfully. "She died."

"I'm so sorry," gasped Iris, looking at the small girl before her. She just shrugged in reply, clearly not wanting to talk about it. "I saw your first mission, the one where Wally pushed you to the ground."

Robin blushed lightly. "Yeah, I didn't expect for the security footage to end up on TV."

"It happens," warned Roy, "Just make sure you don't lose your mask on a mission and you'll be fine."

"Speaking of your mission," Barry started, "how did Batman decide to let you become a superhero?"

A sly smirk appeared on Robin's lips. "Do you want the official story he's going to tell everyone or the truth?"

"The trust please," Wally exclaimed.

"Well, Dad's going to tell everyone it's to make me understand why he's a hero and blah blah blah, but the truth is I hacked into the Batcave and found out he was Batman."

All five jaws dropped before finally Wally found his voice. "You hacked into the Batcave!"

"Yeah," Robin laughed. "Dad came back from a mission to find me playing a computer game on his main frame."

Roy and Wally burst out laughing as the three adults sized up the girl.

"How old are you?" blurted Dinah.

"Nine in a month and a half," Robin answered instantly.

"Oh, she still counts down to the month," gushed Iris softly. "How sweet."

Robin rolled her eyes before laughing. "Dad actually asked that when he saw me sitting there. Well, after he got over the shock. He just kept going, ah, ah," she pointed at nothing in particular, her mouth open, "how old are you! He couldn't believe his system got hacked by a seven year old."

"Seven?" asked Wally in confusion.

"Dad's been training me for almost a year," Robin explained calmly, finishing her slice of pizza. She noticed that a whole pizza was already gone. She looked at Wally, who had barbeque sauce around his mouth. "You should be glad you run fast otherwise you would be so fat!" She grabbed a napkin off the table and pushed it into Wally's face, removing her hand to find it stayed there, which made her laugh.

Wally in turn threw a piece of mushroom at her from his plate.
