How To Guess a Robin's Identity

Getting the OK and Training

Robin gets permission from Batman to tell the team his identity and Robin decides to troll his team and let them try and figure it out. Wally knows his identity but not all his skills (he's the only one in the team that does know his identity).

Starting with Training - Wally doesn't think it's fair that the little Bird doesn't train with them and to prove he does train he fights everyone on the team.

This one is set early season 1 - so no Zatanna or Rocket yet.

(I can't really write fight scenes but I will try).

"So ... I can tell them?" The boy questioned for what seemed like the millionth time but in reality was only about the 13th.

"...yes." The Dark Knight replied hesitantly. He was starting to regret his decision.

The mischievous little Bird grinned evilly and gave a spine shivering cackle, that almost, almost, made him pity his protege's teammates.

"Just don't kill anyone. I do not want to explain to their mentors how you destroyed them." Batman turned with a sigh, mentally already planning to watch the CTV from Mount Justice to see what chaos his little Bird had planned for his friends.

Robin grinned and ran off back to base, getting ready to start Operation Troll The Team.

For the rest of the day an early cackle was heard around Mount Justice unnerving the residents (especially Wally as he had the best idea of what Robin was up to).

"Oomph!" Kid Flash was slammed to the ground for the sixth time in two minutes by Black Canary.

His teammates stood to the side watching the duel. It was a normal training day with Black Canary leading, she was trying desperately to get them to take training more serious - they needed to learn new skills both as individuals and as a team.

Aqualad was assessing Kid Flash's technique, Superboy was being his normal grumpy self, M'gann was chatting to Superboy-not really caring if he wasn't paying attention (which he wasn't really), Artemis was chuckling at Kid Flash's misfortune and Robin? Robin wasn't even restraining himself that much - he was laughing his head off at his friends defeat.

"If you think it's so funny, why don't you try?" Kid Flash shouted at his friend. Getting more than a little frustrated at his continuous defeat and annoyed at his friend's laughter. Superboy, M'gann and Artemis stopped what they were doing to watch the upcoming argument, not bothering to hide their interest. Aqualad just sighed, knowing the situation was about to deteriorate.

"No thanks, Bat's training is tiring enough!" Robin replied finally managing to calm himself down, only grinning now instead of full laughter.

"I agree with Kid Flash, Robin. I believe it would be beneficial for the team if we saw your training." Aqualad stepped in before Kid Flash could shoot a reply back. His statement was true, the youngest member of their team definitely had the most training, plus it would stop the oncoming argument about to erupt between the speedster and bird.

"I don't know -." Robin started to say, grin fading.

"Yeah, come on Bird Boy. Show us your 'asterous' fighting moves then." KF teased his friend, crawling his way off the mat, groaning as he stretched his aching muscles.

The rest of the team spoke up agreeing with Kid Flash and Aqualad, eager to see Robin fighting more outside of the field. They all looked to their youngest teammate expectantly. Black Canary watched the team argue amongst themselves, arms crossed and a smirk on her lips. There was a good reason that she rarely focussed individually on Robin during training (teamwork was another matter entirely).
