I stared intently at the clock waiting for the next two minutes to pass. My teacher still hasn't passed out the homework, and I'm sure all of the students were hoping she wouldn't remember.

I was also itching to ask Bruce what Barbara was talking about. I had come up with a few ideas, but the only one that made sense was he was going back to prison. I mean it made sense, but how did Wally hear about it? I get Babs becuase of her dad, but what about Wally? Did Bruce even know what she was talking about? Even if he did would he tell me?

It seems like he's just had more weight added onto his shoulders. Maybe he's too busy to listen.

I stared once again at the clock. Only a few seconds till freedom.

"Class please stop packing. We still have time left in class." My teacher said annoyed.

7

She isn't going to remember.

6

Only a few more seconds.

"Do we have homework today?" A girl in my class asked. I started at her along with other people. She had to remind the teacher? Totally not asterous.

4

"I almost forgot. Here let me pass it out." She said grabbing sheets from her desk.

I picked up the homework and shoved it in my bag.

Even though I was smart that doesn't mean I like school.

Freedom! I quickly picked up my backpack and ran to where Alfred usually parked. And of course his car was parked there. I quickly hopped in and slammed the door.

"What's the hurry?" Alfred asked.

"Is Bruce home?" I asked ingnoring his question.

"He left a few minutes ago. He had to take care of something with the Justice League," He started the drive the car away from school," I beleive he wanted you to finish your homework and then proceed to the cave as usual."

"Oh..." I said hanging my head. I had to wait even longer to ask.

"Why? Did you need to tell something to Mastet Bruce?" Alfred asked.

"Well yeah, I mean, I think he's hiding something from me." I said as Alfred froze," um... You okay?"

He looked at me," oh yes. I just remembered that I have to... Um... Why would you get the idea that Master Bruce is hiding something from you?" This time it was me staring at him. We was acting really strange.

"Well everyone had been asking if I'm okay, and today Barbara told me something. She was surprised that Bruce hadn't told me yet."

"Did she tell you what he was hiding?"

"Um... No not yet."

"Oh, well you should bring up this matter with master Bruce."

"But he's not h- Wait! I can ask Wally. He knows what it is!" Alfred parked the car

"We are home." He left silently. Why was he acting so weird today?

~~~

I quickly adjusted my mask, and attached my cape. I then buckled my utility belt, and I was done. I ran through the zeta tube leading to the cave.

'Robin B01'

"Hello Robin," M'gann called out. I looked at the couch and saw M'gann, Artemis, and Wally. Where was Connor and Kaldur?

"Wally, I need to talk to you!" He gave me a strange look, but them speeded to where I was.

"Whatsup?"

"I need to you tell me why you asked if I was okay."

"You didn't know why when I asked?" He looked concerned.

"No, and I think Bruce is hiding something from me."

"Uh... We should go to your room." He grabbed my arm, and before I knew what was happening I stood in my room. Wally quickly locked the door and sat me down.

"Is it really that bad?" I asked getting worried.

"Well you wouldn't want them to hear, and I'm not sure how you will react."

"So tell me."

"Well... I'm not sure how to tell you..."

"Just say it."

"I can-" He was interrupted by the intercom.

"Wally, the Flash just called and he wants to see you in Central now." Artemis' voice rang throughout the building. He quickly sped out, but I followed.

"Just hurry and tell me." I said as we reached the zeta tubes.

"I can't. Just asked Batman." He said walking in the zeta tubes, but stopped when M'gann turned on the T.V. And then reported stated," The police still haven't found the runway criminal Tony Zucco. He had been missing for more than a month, and we have gotten recent news that The Batman will he helping in this cas-" The screen blackened.

"Why did you turn it off Wally?!" Artemis yelled.

"Uhh... I gotte go." Wally sped into the zeta tube, but not before he mumbled the word sorry to me.

"Robin are you okay?" M'gann asked," I'm sensing strong emotions coming off of you."

"He promised..." I mumbled.

"What?" Artemis asked. I couldn't respond. I just looked at my feet. Bruce had promised he would tell me! Did everyone know about this? Was I the only one who just found out? Was that why Alfred was acting strange? He had known about this too? Who else was lying to me?!

"Robin are you okay?" Artemis asked this time. I wanted go say no and start yelling, but they would aske question.

"I have to go." I said aggressively.
