Dick was still grinning as Alfred dropped him off at the front of Gotham Academy.  As he walked towards the entrance of the school. He saw Barbara Gordon and waved. 

"Hey Barb," he said cheerfully.

"Hey Dick!" the redhead replied, returning the wave and walking over to him.  Barbara raised an eyebrow, studying him, before narrowing her eyes and looking at him suspiciously. 
"Dick Grayson, what are you planning?" she asked, seeing that all too familiar look in his eyes.

Dick put on his best innocent expression, though one could easily tell it was fake.  "Me?" the 13 year old asked, as if completely oblivious to everything.

"Yes you."

"I'm not planning anything.  What makes you think I am?" he replied, this time putting on a pouty face and looking at Bard with puppy-dog eyes. 

Barbara gave him an unamused look.  "Right.  Of course you're not," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.  "Dick, I know you're up to no good.  I've been on the receiving end of that look more times than I can count and-"

Before anything else could be said, the bell rang, signalling the start of school.  Dick just smiled cheekily before rushing off to his first period class.

~*~

The first few class periods had passed by fairly quickly, and before Dick knew it, it was lunch time.

~*~

Artemis was sitting in the school cafeteria with Bette, eating her lunch. Unlike all the fancy rig kids here, her meal just consisted of a sandwich and an apple. Not that she minded though.

"Hey Arty," a voice behind her said. When she turned around and saw who it was, she groaned. It was that annoying little freshman who took a picture of her on the first day. He was also really the only one besides Robin who called her 'Arty'. 

"Hey Boy-Who's-Name-I-Didn't-Ask-Because-I-Don't-Care," Artemis replied. "What do you want?"

The boy cleared his throat and grinned. "Well, first of all, my name is Richard but you can call me Dick. Second of all, I'm pretty sure you already knew that. And third of all, I just wanted to know how your 'uncle' is doing. Bye!"

Artemis watched, confused, as Richard walked away. "My...Uncle? But-"
She didn't have an uncle. Unless you counted Green Arrow, Who the whole team thought was her uncle...But Dick couldn't have known that.

Bette looked at her. "What was that about?" she asked.

Artemis narrowed her eyes and looked at Dick as he walked over to Barbara.

"I don't know..."

For the rest of the day, Artemis kept seeing Dick everywhere. He kept saying the strangest things, and she didn't know why. He acted and spoke almost like he knew her secret identity, but that was crazy, right? There was no way Dick Grayson, mathlete champion and Ward of the richest man in Gotham knew HER secret. So what was up with him?

Little did she know, she was about to find out...

~*~

Artemis went outside of the school as soon as the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day,  her backpack slung over her shoulder. Once she was outside, she raised an eyebrow as she saw Dick Grayson come up to her. "Hello again," Dick said, the ever present grin on his face. Artemis looked at him, an unamused expression on her face. "Again? Why do you keep bothering me to day?"

Dick smirked slightly, as if what she said was hilarious. "Oh, no reason.." he let out a slight cackle. Artemis furrowed her eyebrows as she realized how familiar that cackle sounded.

"Do, how's your training going?" Dick asked. Artemis frowned slightly.

"Training? What training?"

"You know.. Archery and stuff."

Artemis' eyes widened at this. "How do you-"

Dick turned as he noticed a black car pull up. He grinned again and waved bye to a stunned Artemis. He leaned in as if to tell her a secret. "Gotta go. I'm needed at the Batcave."

As he left, Artemis just stood there, shock clearly shown on her expression. How did she not see it before. The Batcave? All the hints he'd been giving her all day! He was Robin.

"Wait... You.. You're..."

She faced palmed herself. "It's so obvious! We'll laugh about this someday?!..." She glared at him as he left. "You little...DICK!!!"

Richard Grayson AKA Robin had to keep himself from bursting into laughter as he got in his car.   So, Artemis finally figured it out. Good for her. Now it was time to get the rest of the team to find out....

A little after school, Dick went to Mount Justice to see the rest of the team. He smirked at Wally as he entered the team's base. Walking to the kitchen to grab a snack, he noticed Artemis, who was still glaring at him, and he smirked at her too. 

The rest of the day was basically filled with Robin dropping hind about him being Dick Grayson. When the team finally found out, Kaldur and Conner didn't care as much since they didn't know who Bruce Wayne or Dick grayson even was. Megan was excited about the news, since she apperantly noticed Dick a lot on tv and stuff. Wally and Aremis, of course, knew already.

Robin was really glad that he'd finally told the team. He didn't like having to hide his identity from them. Once he did tell them though, Kaldur went up to him.

"I thank you for telling us your identity, Robin. It shows that you trust us, and trust is a quality we all need to have with each other for this team."

Yep. Everything would be great now. No more wearing sunglasses at the most random times. It did get very annoying after all. He just hoped that Bruce would forgive him for telling everyone.

A/N: Sorry, I know the ending is pretty crappy. Anyway, thanks for reading! It would mean a lot if you left a review ;)
Also, if you have any ideas for a oneshot, just let me know! I'd be glad to write it.
