Bruce Wayne couldn't come to the circus performance that fateful night. Instead, Deathstroke finds a young Dick Grayson running from the scene, who he takes in as his apprentice, training him to be a mercenary as he himself is. He cares for him as he would a son, but when a contract comes up, Deathstroke is forced to put his protégé through more than he ever had before to fulfill the contract, possibly putting more emotional strain on the boy's mind than he was prepared to handle. The Son of Deathstroke would infiltrate the Justice League by way of their team of sidekicks. xXx Not technically finished, but I'm not updating it anymore whoops

After the Death of the Flying Graysons, Richard Grayson is missing. Batman goes to investigate Tony Zucco and meets a young vigilante going by, Robin. Batman and Robin team up many times over the years, but they never tell each other their identities. All is well until the League decides to form a team of sidekicks. (I don't own cover)
