Just Robin Oneshots Part 2

You're a fairly good brother

Christelightlavo commented about whether people knew about Slade or not and I had this idea so thank you for inspiring me to write this

Also, I'm writing this in the middle of a storm so I'll scream if the WiFi goes out before I can post this

Damian took after Bruce in a lot of ways. Their glares were uncanny, they both shared a lack of grins whilst on the job and outside of it and they both loved to give lectures about mistakes they would never make but actually have. Another thing they shared was doing background research on everyone in their lives. Damian was doing just that. His research focused on Dick and his early days as a part of the Teen Titans. He was part of the Teen Titans now and wanted to see if his team was better than the original. Of course, they were both very different teams and they should be treated differently. But he was competitive and wanted to shove their successes in Dick's face. He couldn't help it. As he researched, he came across a newspaper article about Robin going missing. He thought it odd but assumed he was just off-world or in a different country at the time. That was until he read further and found that the rest of the Titans were still on Earth. Odd. Surely Dick wouldn't go on a solo mission. He researched foreign newspapers during the same period for signs of Robin but there was nothing. Dick just fell off the Earth. Then he comes back not too long after. Being curious, he made a note to ask Dick about it when they next saw each other.

Kori and Dick were sparring the next time Robin spotted him. Deciding that the other could spare a few minutes to explain, he approached him. "Something wrong Damian?" Kori inquired, spotting the new presence in the room. They didn't stop sparring, however. They never did when they were having conversations with other people. They said they did it because in battle they'd get distractions and should be able to continue to fight, though, most people thought it was because they were both too competitive to stop without a winner. "I was doing research on the old team and came across something odd. I thought Grayson would be able to explain it," Damian responded. 

"You're gonna have to be more specific than 'something odd.' A lot of weird things happened back then," Dick answered.

"Your disappearance from the Titans." The sparring stopped. Damian instantly knew this had to be something serious from that moment on. Kori gave Dick a sympathetic look and held his hand. She must know what happened too. "You don't need to know," Dick stated. His tone was stern though his face looked hurt by the request to talk about what happened. Damian raised an eyebrow at this but didn't drop his want to know. "I would like to," he countered.

"I wouldn't like you to so drop it," Dick snapped. Kori held his hand tighter to tell him to calm down but it didn't work. He ripped his hand from her grip and exited the room, mumbling about something he was late for. They both knew he wasn't late for anything.

Damian made the mistake of following him when he was heated and continued his quest to find out what happened. "Why don't you want to talk about it? You talk about everything no matter how mundane it is," Damian stated as he tried to catch up with the older. Dick walked faster to get away from him, heading towards the garage of the tower. He didn't respond which made Damian grow in frustration. He picked up his speed and ran in front of Dick to make him stop. "Tell me what happened," he demanded. 

"Why do you care so much? It doesn't involve you or anything you can use against me," Dick spat. He pushed the younger aside and continued his warpath to the garage.
