Just Robin Oneshots Part 2

4th day of Christmas

CloeTheTealSnake requested this one and yes I used this opportunity to show off little Robin being a badass and I took the suggestion of Batmum or JL family content maybe a little too far

Our shout out is the wonderful Discordian Supergirl406! She does wonderful stories about Dick Grayson and has been a helping hand in some of my favourite one-shots that I've done. It's a crime if you don't check her out 

Selina didn't expect any visitors tonight. She was planning to have a nice night in, counting her newly stolen jewelry and polishing the older ones in the collection. She'd have some dramatic show in the background since she was always one for drama and a glass of nice wine. That plan went out the window when she heard a knock at the door. She sighed and picked up her gun just in case it wasn't a well-liked visitor, then looked through the peephole. A rather moody looking Dick Grayson stood at her door with a small rucksack on his back. He was dressed in near all black and had the gloves from his Robin suit on. There was no one with him. It was just him standing in the middle of the hallway waiting and scowling at the floor. How a ten-year-old got across Gotham with no supervision in the middle of the night, she didn't want to know. That would just make her faith in humanity diminish further than it already was. She put the gun on the table beside the door and opened the door before he got mugged by one of her neighbours. "I wasn't expecting you tonight," she greeted, intrigued in his arrival. The boy shrugged, desperately looking inside the flat so he didn't have to stand in the cold hallway anymore. Selina frowned and beckoned him to come in, closing the door behind him. "What brings you here?" By the look of that rucksack, this wasn't a happy stopping by before patrol. Her mind went to the worst but she tried to reason that it couldn't be the case. Bruce wouldn't have kicked him out. He adored the boy more than anything and even if he did find that he couldn't take looking after Dick anymore, he'd make sure he was put in the best orphanage out there. He wouldn't just kick him out with a tiny rucksack. "I was in the neighbourhood," he replied, casting his eyes to the floor and glaring at it. Selina didn't like this at all. He was normally so bubbly but today he was acting like a melodramatic teenager who's vape pen just got taken off him. "What's happened?" she asked. He pursed his lips as his eyes began to well up. "Oh, Dickie."  

She walked over and knelt beside him with a concerned expression. "C'mon, tell me what's gone on," she said, hoping for something she could work with. This was all a little unnerving. Okay, a lot unnerving. He sniffled in response, the floodgates about to open now he was thinking about the topic. "I won't tell a soul," she added. That wasn't particularly true. If this was something that she was out of her depth then she'd have to tell someone else so she knew how to deal with it but he didn't need to know that. "Bruce said I can't be Robin anymore," he admitted as tears began to make their way down his face. He desperately tried to wipe them away but they were coming much too fast for that. "Why?"

"He basically said because I'm too sensitive." She bit her tongue before she agreed with the statement out loud. Clearly this comment was making him upset and her agreeing with the guy he presumably ran away from wouldn't really help. She'd have to be careful about handling this or else the situation would get much worse. "Well, you are quite..." she abandoned that sentence rather quickly. Yeah, that wasn't the best start. Dick's scowl meant she should've abandoned it a little earlier. He gripped the straps of his rucksack and began walking towards the door. "I should've known you'd side with him. Everyone agrees with him," he ranted. Selina jumped up and put her hand on the door, preventing him from opening it. 

"I never said I agreed with him," she pointed out. Maybe she made it sound like she did but she didn't mean to. Being sensitive is a good thing sometimes.
