"I hope we have a mission today!" Wally exclaimed," I need to do something with my life." Dick smiled. He was happy and that was all Dick needed. Robin didn't want my problem with Bruce go bring his usual excited mood down. Dick didn't want to effect his way life anymore than he already had.
"What would the mission be?" Robin asked. They had always discussed what they both wished they could do for a mission, but some were either too extreme, or impossible. But it was still fun to discuss their ideas of a "cool" mission.
"We could save a princess and the princess and I would ride of into the sunset on a majestic stallion."Wally said flashing.
"No thanks." Dick replied laughing as the two boys stepped through the zeta beams.

Then, the unexpected occurred. Right as Robin set foot into the mountain, the team yelled," Happy Birthday!" Robin froze as he surveyed the team. It was his birthday... It was the day that he had lost his parents because of Tony Zucco. It was the day that his life was taken from him. The day that everything changed. All because of one man.
"What?" He responded.
"It's your birthday, bird brain. Keep up!" Artemis said while grabbing a small present and sticking it in front of her to hand to Robin. He didn't accept it though."Are you okay?" M'gann asked Dick worried. Robin turned to Wally shocked. Did Wally tell them it was his birthday before he knew about Robins identity? Wally smiled sheepishly and mouthed sorry.
"Um...uh....uh...." Was all Robin could stutter out. What was He supposed to say? Oh, I'm not okay. Today is the day my parents were murdered in front of my innocent eight year old eyes. He knew he couldn't exactly say that, but he was still shocked that he hadn't remembered that today was the day his parents died. He hadn't even considered anything except how to get Bruce out of jail.
"Robin you aren't looking too good." Artemis said," Are you okay?" Robin wanted to tell her he was fine, but a lump was growing inside his throat. He couldn't say or do anything. He could only stare at his team with complete and utter shock. approaching. Robin let out a stuttered sigh. Please... Can't everyone just forget about this day? Act as if it never happened? There is nothing special about my birthday. At least not anymore...
"Robin? Happy birthday. Why don't you look too pleased? Isn't this a earth tradition that causes happiness?" M'gann asked as the others agreed nodding their heads.
The boy wonder couldn't take it anymore.
Crack!
He saw their bodies crash to the ground. He then saw his younger self run towards his parents- tears escaping from Dicks eye, but he never did make it to his parents. He had been held back by the circus crew members. He never got to say good-bye.
The world began to spin uncontrollably. Dick heard shouts of his name, but payed no attention to them. Only of the horrid memories flashing in his mind.
Then the world went dark.
~~~Dicks eyes slowly opened and he took notice of his surroundings. He was in the Allen/West house.
"What happened?" Dick asked groggily. He noted that his mask was off, but not his complete costume."Well, you kind of passed out and I brought you here." Wally said looking pale. His eyes showed worry and fear, more than expected from the speedster. Robin had just passed out. Why had he been so worried?
"Why? You could have let me rest at the Mountain. I would have been fine."
"Well, I didn't want to team asking you questions and I'm sure you didn't either." He bowed his head," I'm sorry." Dick stared at his friend. He had complete forgotten that his friends were noisy and curios. Wally just did Dick [another] huge favor. Though, what really shocked Dick was that Wally had apologized. Why would the boy be sorry about anything? He's only ever helped Dick. Even by taking him in, and that meant a lot to Dick. With all Wally had done, the boy may never have to apologize for anything ever again.
