"I'm sorry you guys had to watch that...but try imagine it through an eight year olds eyes"Speedy said  with sorrow in his voice,"I can't believe he kept that bottled up for so long..it would kill me to do that"Cyborg said holding his robotic hand close to his chest"and after all he's been through he still helped us,like on the anniversary of your parents death Beastboy"Raven said still trying to comfort Starfire.

FLASHBACK
Beastboy was in his room looking at a picture of him and his parents,he'd shut out Starfire,Raven and even his best friend Cyborg, he heard a knock at the door and answered it,it was Robin"Robin I'm NOT doing training today,go away" he growled and the slammed the door shut,but it got caught on Robins foot"Beastboy I wasn't asking you to train,I already told the titans that you weren't coming..I just came to bring you this"he handed over a plate of pizza"thought you might get hungry"he smiled and walked off "wait Robin"Beastboy said with guilt "thanks""I could call the doom patrol if you'd like"Robin asked "please".

FLASHBACK OVER

"I was really harsh on him,on you all,but he wasn't even bothered,he knew I was sad,he knew I was angry but he also knew I needed a friend" Beastboy said,the memory fresh in his mind "I was harsh on him"everyone looked at Cyborg "remember the anniversary of my mums death and the day I became..this"he looked down at his metal hands

FLASHBACK

Cyborg was sat in his T-car,it wasn't moving,it was in the Titans garage,it was a place he could think and it made him feel..safe,Robin opened the cars door and sat in the passengers seat "wanna talk?"he asked"no"Cyborg replied with a monotone voice"it helps"Robin said softly"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!?"HAVE YOU LOST SOMEONE YOU CARED ABOUT,CALLED A FREAK?"Cyborg screamed"yeah and circus freak"Robin whispered and got out of the car,where Robin had been sitting was a plane ticket to the city Cyborgs dad was living with a note "how?" he asked himself,the note said

'it will be easer with family,we think of you as family Cy,but your dad will need you right now and I think you need him,so catch that plane and catch up with your Dad,have a safe journey,

The team.
P.S if your asking how,ex-protégé of bats remember ;) '

"How does he do it?"

FLASHBACK OVER
"How 'bout you Star?"Cyborge asked Starfire "remember when the madam rouge was posing as my baby brother wildfire"they all nodded"well,a number of weeks before that event was the anniversary of him being sent away and I was most upset"

FLASHBACK

Starfire was sat on her bed next to Robin,she was resting her head on his lap and crying"but what if I never do the seeing of him again?what if he is gone forever?"she asked clinging on to Robin like he was her life force"have hope Star,he night come back"he stroked her hair gently trying to calm her down "it is not the fair Robin,he was...was"she started crying again "have faith Star"

FLASHBACK OVER

"Yeah Robin's helped us a lot to,he was the youngest but he was always there for us..even if sometimes we weren't there for him" Kid Flash said and Speedy nodded,they looked guilty.

"he was there for all of us,the only reason we beat trigon because he had and gave you hope"Raven said taking her hood down "how didn't we know?"Cyborg asked to himself more than the team.

After all the things Robin had done for them,the smiles he faked and the hope he gave them Robin heart had died from sadness long ago and the light his his eyes had faded,yet he still laughed,still smiled still loved,how does he do it?

They felt guilty,as if they once knew each other but don't,they expected Robin to have always been happy but his parents died,Speedy told the titans he was sent to the Gothem youth detention centre because the orphanages were full,it was known for being the worst in the country ,when he was adopted after months of pain,he was ignored and he has had his fair share of beatings from both classmates and criminals,and was bullied,they didn't know there brother at all,but they WERE going to change that.As soon as possible.

They thought they knew him but they don't at all...
