Re: You Would Think (DC UNIVERSE)

"Let's get something straight, Superboy." Tim stood up. "I don't like you. I could stand here for several hours and go into full detail why I don't like you. But I'm not. From the moment I first stepped foot in Mount Justice I knew you were nothing but a hindrance to the team. You actions are reckless and your behavior brash and rude. You have no respect for anyone, including your superiors. For the past three months your being on the team has caused more problems than we can deal with. You are to leave Mount Justice tonight and not return until you are summoned. I will be having a meeting with the JLA. The topic will be your removal from the team. You may go now."

"Don't bother" Conner replied. "I'll save you the trouble-I quit." He didn't look back as he walked through the door.

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:20 am

"Then you have two weeks to have your room cleared out."

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:21 am

"I'll be out of here in ten minutes" Conner called back coldly.

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:25 am

Tim huffed as he left the briefing room.

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:31 am

True to his word, Conner was using the Zeta tube to leave the cave not even a full ten minutes later.

Tim sighed as he sat back down on the couch. Bart was playing a puzzle game now, keeping quiet and to himself. Tim saved and closed his report before opening a blank email.

'Dad, I need a vacation. From life.'

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:42 am

Bruce got the email just as he was about to leave the watchtower to head back to the manor. He frowned before responding.

'What is wrong? I thought Titan weekends were your breaks?'

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:50 am

'Superboy is a super jerk and I had to deal with him. I never really have breaks. Being with the Titans is always drama and work. I'm tired and I want to cry. None of them like me anyway. I told you and Dick that but you guys insisted I join. I want to come home and sleep for the rest of my life.'

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:56 am

'You're paranoid, everyone likes you fine. I will have Clark talk to Superboy if he is giving you problems.'

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:58 am

'He quit.'
Tim curled around his laptop on the couch.

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:04 am

'Superboy isn't allowed to quit Tim. He's a liability and the deal with the league was he had to be part of a team where we could keep an eye on him. Luthor has used pre programming on him in the past and isn't above using it on him again. Don't tell me Dick didn't mention that to you when he gave you the ropes?'

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:08 am

Tim closed his laptop and pushed it away, causing it to fall of the couch. Bart looked back at the older boy as he curled in on himself. "I can't the this."

Bart quietly moved to sit with him. He started to rub Tim's knee. "Should I call Wally?"

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:10 am

The Zeta tubes fired up a moment later.

"RECOGNIZED BATMAN MEMBER 02"

"Robin" Batman stated as he stepped into the cave.

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:13 am

Bart had pulled Tim into his lap, rocking the older boy and rubbing his back. Robin was crying silently into his shoulder. He tensed when the zeta tube announced the arrival of his mentor.

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:17 am

"The team can survive without you for a night, let's go home." Batman stated. "Relax for once."

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:20 am

Bart tightened his hold on Tim, looking away from Batman. Tim kept his face hidden in Bart's shoulder, trying to stop the crying.

The Speedster started to pet his hair. "I think he's tired. He hasn't slept in two days."

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:21 am

Bruce frowned. He stepped closer and held his arms out for him. "Hand him here" he stated.

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:24 am

Bart hesitated before passing Robin to his mentor. "I love you," he whispered.

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:28 am

Bruce chose not to comment as he carried Robin towards the Zeta tubes.

Alfred was waiting for them at the Manor. Bruce nodded at him before carrying Tim upstairs.

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:30 am

"I'm a failure. I'm sorry, Bruce."

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:33 am

"You aren't a failure." Bruce replied gently. "You're too hard on yourself"

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:37 am

Tim held in a sniffle. "I can't be a leader, Bruce. None of them even like me. I'm not likeable, or charismatic like Dick. Not matter how hard I try none of them respect me. I'm a loser and a failure."

**THISLOSERHERE** Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:40 am

"You don't have to lead them if you don't want to, Tim. Dick can't make you" Bruce replied

Xarsah Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:55 pm

"I'm just proving how much of a disappointment I am. Dick was been pushing for me to lead for at least a year now. He wants another Robin to lead the team. And I can't even establish myself as Robin. Everyone expects me to be just like Dick. Then, they get upset when I'm not."
