Just Robin Oneshots Part 2

It started with free headphones

I'm a good noodle so I'll admit that this is very much inspired by the Batman and Robin comics where Mad Hatter gave away headphones to certain people BUT I've changed a few things around and the story isn't the exact same so it's okay

Enjoy the other side of the bi Dick that I never know how to write even though it's pretty cute

Robin gathered the team in the front room and began running through their mission. He couldn't help but experience a surge of excitement at the thought of a mission like the old days. It wasn't like he didn't enjoy mission with the Titans. Of course, he did, they were a great team to lead - most of the time - but this was going back to his roots. Undercover work. What made it even better was Batman wasn't there to hustle and lecture him on the dangers. This time he was the expert and there wasn't someone looming their knowledge over him the whole time. He couldn't wait to get into it. "There's been a trend in teens going missing right after they pick up headphones from this stall," he announced, putting a picture of an old street vendor on screen. There was a large 'FREE' sign beside them. "Police haven't been able to link the two but something similar happened back in Gotham. Considering the teens going missing are of a specific look, I'm guessing the situation is more similar than officials care to admit," he continued.

"What's the plan then? We can't just rock up to his stall and accuse him of kidnapping," Beast Boy replied. 

"Exactly. We have to go about this in a more subtle manner and, due to recent events, that'll be much easier." They raised an eyebrow at him, gesturing for him to continue. "The teens taken fit the description of Dick Grayson pretty well." He put a few examples up on the screen. "Black hair, mid-teens, short build, and blue eyes."

"You're suggesting undercover work?" Cyborg questioned. Robin nodded, doing his best to hide a giddy smile. 

"I know it's not our usual gig but I trust you guys and, hopefully, you trust me just as much. What do you think?" 

The Titans shared a glance, silently debating over the topic, before turning back to their leader. "If you think we can pull it off, then it's worth a shot," Cyborg confirmed. 

"Great!" Robin exclaimed. He coughed and composed himself again. "I mean great," he corrected. He'd earned a chuckle from the group. Perhaps he was a little too excited about doing something he hadn't done in years. "Here's the plan, I'll go to the stall with a tracker on my person and hopefully the vendor will take the bait. If he does, I'll pick up the headphones, put them on and, if what I think is going to happen does, I'll be relying on you for the rest of the plan." They nodded, showing they understood so far. "You'll have to wait until I'm stationary for at least half an hour since that's when I'd most likely be at the secondary location the rest went to. When that happens, Raven will open a portal at the location and all you'll have to do is come find me. That should be enough evidence to connect the headphones with the disappearances."

"What if those teenagers are?" Starfire hesitated to further that thought. Half an hour was plenty of time for something bad to happen. Something irreversibly bad. 

"They aren't. Police would've found some sort of remains like clothing or... you know." He didn't fancy scaring the team out of the plan. 

"Portals will take time. Not only that but we won't have your exact location if you go inside a building with multiple floors and multiple rooms," Raven pointed out. 

"It's a risk I'm willing to take. The stakes have been much higher before."

"The last time the stakes were high we lost you for way too long. You might not die but you could be trafficked. You're playing with fire," Cyborg cautioned.
