How To Guess a Robin's Identity

The Dicktionary

Hello!

Right I decided I was going to start bouncing around a bit - this is set about the 3rd/4th year of the gap (There is a very brief scene at the end but I felt like it needed to be included set in season 2.) Pretty much all you need to know is Tim is Robin, Dick is Nightwing, Jason is dead and Gar/Beast Boy is on the team. Superboy and M'gann have recently broken up. Wally and Artemis are only on the team sometimes, but visit the cave, Zatanna and Rocket are part of the League and Kaldur is still on the team and the leader.

The original team know Dick's identity as I skipped forward but they won't mention it. You will see when they discover it though (later).

The team had started to drift apart and there is a lot of pressure on Nightwing's shoulders already, so go with it.

There is a mention of Teen Titans as in my mind Robin created them then eventually went back to the team with Beast Boy in tow after two years still friends and helping to expand the Titans which still existed. This is set recency after he has returned.

What is this chapter about? - Dick teaching a downtrodden Tim and Gar his old words which be wrote down in the Dicktionary. Yes. That's all I have to say. Basically it's Nightwing being an awesome big brother. With a plus of trolling.

I own nothing and the characters are most likely OOC.

Sorry about the long authors note.

Anyway hope you enjoy.

Robyn out.

It started with a failed mission. Well, technically they hadn't failed the mission, they had just complicated things then had to call the older team members for help. Which was admittedly very embarrassing for everyone, although out of the team of five younger heroes involved; Garfield Logan aka Beast Boy and Tim Drake-Wayne aka Robin had taken it worse. It was never fun letting down your mentors and both Robin and Beast Boy were fairly independent heroes with more practise than most of the younger heroes on the team, so having to rely on the older team members left them feeling a bit disappointed and embarrassed with themselves.

It had been their first real mission without help from the original team and they had flunked it. Both of them decided to sulk away from each other and the rest of the team, trying to spend some time on their own to deal with their disappointment.

Luckily for both of them Nightwing had been watching and had seen the poorly concealed disappointment on Gar's face and the better hidden, yet still obvious to a Bat, disappointment on Tim's face.

Nightwing had a plan. One the two boys hopefully would love, a bonus was the rest of the original team would hate it, allowing the boys to get over their embarrassment. With an evil smirk on his lips Nightwing set out to start his plan. The original team had thought they had seen the last of the troll, but they were wrong, very wrong indeed.

He found Gar first, he was sitting in the rafters in the training room as a green monkey. "Hey Gar, can you come down? I have a surprise for you." Nightwing called up, knowing that being vague would help make Gar curious enough to come down from his hiding spot. He'd had practise finding Gar and convincing him to come out of strange places during his time as the leader of the Titans.

"Why?" A quiet shaky voice came from above. "Are you going to tell us off for failing the mission?"

"Why would you think that? You didn't fail nor am I here to tell you off, Gar. Besides you should have seen the original team when we first started, we did worse than you. The whole League came to shout at us once which was very embarrassing. Anyway, can you please come down, I promise it will be worth your while." Nightwing prodded on the edge of singing the last sentence, a grin on his face.
