Haruka also has a fanfiction profile called harukafics! Read more of these epic stories!

This wasn't written as a fic, but rather as (edited) excerpts from a spanking fanfiction RPG started in 2003 in which I played Robin (you know, the Boy Wonder ;) at 13 years old, plus characters from Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution, TMNT, the Mighty Ducks, Static Shock, Fruits Basket and many more. This is a completed story that has 146 chapters in all.

The RPG had two mailing lists where the kid characters exchange messages on one and their adult counterparts on another – these are posts mainly from the kids' list that Robin runs. Spanking stories were the MAIN focus of the RPG so do NOT read further if you know you don't enjoy spanking in fics! There are also same-sex relationships here, so be warned! Characters are not necessarily canon.

Robin's Diary - Part 1

By Haruka

Not long ago, I screwed up on the job. There was a safety issue I didn't address, and Batman ended our patrol immediately. We rode home in the Batmobile in silence, but as soon as we got into the Batcave, the lecture started. I nodded and said 'Yes sir' at all the appropriate places, but then he told me that we would be having refresher safety courses the next day after school. I didn't say anything, but I knew right away I was going to miss those refreshers. See, a bunch of friends and I had arranged to go to a movie at the mall theatre right after school the next day, and one of the kids going was a girl I really liked. I figured I'd call home from school and explain that I had to stay for a couple of hours to work on a project with my lab partner.

Long story short, I went to the movie with my friends (and the girl sat next to me) and was having a great time when suddenly the movie stopped in the middle and the lights came on. We were all looking around to see what was going on, and there was Batman (as Bruce Wayne, of course) striding down the aisle toward me. I mean, ONLY he has the money and influence in Gotham to get them to stop a movie in a crowded theatre. I still don't know how he found out I lied or where I'd be, but we ARE talking about the world's greatest detective here. I wanted to die and figured I'd soon get my wish. He stopped by me, waiting expectantly, and I got up to go with him. Chances are, I would have gotten out of there with my dignity intact if I'd just kept my mouth shut, but I was already embarrassed in front of my friends and it made me angry and stupid. I said, "You just HAD to cause a scene, didn't you?"

Without a word, he turned me around, bent me over and delivered three serious whacks to my backside - there in the packed theatre! In front of my friends! In front of the girl I liked! At least my friends were stunned into silence, but the rest of the people CHEERED! I guess they were upset that their movie was interrupted and saw me as the cause. I was mortified beyond belief, but neither one of us said anything more - he just marched me out of there.

There was more punishment at home. A very long, very painful session over his knee for lying, plus I was grounded for three weeks (both as myself AND Robin.) And for every day of those three weeks I had extra lessons in safety procedures.

My friends were tactful and said nothing about what happened, but that girl never spoke to me again. The society page ran an article about how my guardian proved that he knew how to discipline his ward properly in these troubled times, blah blah blah.

I _still_ cringe thinking about it, but I never forget the safety procedures anymore.

Robin

Today Batman introduced me to the other members of Justice League. Here are my impressions:

Superman - Handsome, bigger-than-life, friendly. I really liked him, he welcomed me unconditionally.

Martian Manhunter - A little spooky, but very nice. He used to have two kids of his own (sadly, they were killed) so I think he liked having a kid around today.

Hawkgirl - Kind of cold at first, but by the end of the day we were joking around together like she was my big sister or something. :)

Green Lantern - Can we say INTENSE?! GOD, this guy's got an iron rod up his butt or something! He SO did not want me there. I never saw him crack a smile at anybody all day.

Wonder Woman - Va Va Voom! Words don't describe how beautiful she is in person. She's a princess, of course, so she's a little standoffish, but her smile was sincere.

The Flash - Hard to describe after just this one meeting, he flits around so much, but one thing's for sure - even though he's probably about 21, _I'M_ more mature than he is! He makes Green Lantern crazy (THAT was fun to watch!)

Mostly I sat through a very long meeting on the state of the world (and other planets) and what was going to be done about what problems and who would do it. Then the time came when Superman announced that I was being considered for membership in Justice League, and he was sponsoring me (Batman couldn't sponsor me, and it takes five votes to get in.) They were allowed to ask questions of both Batman and myself, and I answered the best I could and tried to stay calm and look capable.

Then came the part that threw me.

Green Lantern said that the only way he would consider someone of my age for membership was if I was held accountable for my own actions, not Batman, and that if I screwed up, I should be punished as the child I was. And if Batman isn't around, ANY of them should be allowed to punish me. Obviously this was discussed before hand, because all the others agreed.

I don't know if this was some kind of test or what, but Batman came as close to losing it as I've ever seen him. He flat-out refused and said that no one was to lay a hand on me except for him, and if anyone tried, he'd QUIT Justice League! _ That's when I did something that normally I'd never do - I disagreed with him in public. I said Justice League needed him because they were an international unit, not just limited to Gotham City or even Earth, and I wasn't about to deprive the universe of Batman's skills OR my own. I told the others that I would accept their terms.

They voted me in. I'm now a member of Justice League.

Batman asked me on the way home if I knew what I'd gotten myself into. I assured him I did, but truthfully, I'm scared shitless. Granted, I might never do anything to provoke any of them into spanking me (I'll sure as hell TRY not to!) but just think about it! I could end up getting spanked by SUPERMAN! _ Or The Flash, who's just a big kid himself and can probably hit fifty times in half a second! Or Wonder Woman -!

Hmmm, come to think of it, maybe subconsciously, I _did_ know what I was doing, ha ha!

Robin

Shit (or shoot, 'Robin' shouldn't say shit, but oh SHIT!) Alfred just came back and caught me on the computer - I thought he'd retired for the night, but I guess he decided to check the house one last time. Here's our exchange:

Me: *clickety clickety*

Alfred: Master Richard!

Me: *experiencing heart failure* Alfred! I didn't hear you come in!

Alfred: I gathered that. *eyes computer monitor significantly*

Me: *swallowing* I was just signing off ...

Alfred: It seems to me that you said you'd be doing so a while ago, young sir.

Me: *barely audible* Yes, Alfred.

Alfred: It is far too late to continue this now. We shall discuss it further in the morning. Goodnight, Master Richard.

Me: Goodbye, uh, goodnight, Alfred.

So I had to log off. Being 'Master Richard' means I'm in for it sometime tomorrow. Yay, that'll make falling asleep easier.

Robin (otherwise known as The Doomed)

Good thing I don't actually have to SPEAK here, because I'd sound really funny right now. I just got my mouth washed out for telling a 'falsehood' last night about getting off the comp when I wasn't.

GOD, I hate the taste of Joy! Alfred mixes it with some water and I have to swish it around for a full minute before I can expel it, then I can't rinse for fifteen minutes. Yuck, blah, ew. NOTHING froths up like dishwashing liquid, I tell you! I feel like a mad dog foaming at the mouth, and I've already rinsed about forty times!

At least my breath is lemony fresh. -_-;

Robin

P.S. He's not telling Bruce what happened. Gotta love Alfred, even if he's strict.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Batman got mad at me during a fight.

Batman: "Just hold up a minute there, Joker, while I exact some discipline on Robin here."

Joker: "Not at all! Mind if I take pictures?"

Of course, then he proceeds to laugh hysterically through the whole thing ...

Robin

I can't remember exactly how old I was, but it had to be pretty young - maybe eight. I heard a couple of people from the audience talking about cruelty to animals one night as they were leaving the circus, saying that they shouldn't be locked up in cages - they should be running free. I tossed and turned all night thinking about it. I'd always thought the animals in our shows were treated really well, but they _were_ kept in cages, and if that was cruel, I didn't want them there any longer. So I snitched the animal keeper's keys and unlocked ALL the cages. We had lions and tigers and bears (oh my) running around loose, not to mention the elephants, horses, dog acts and monkeys - and while most of these animals were very well trained, some of them didn't, uh, mix well.

The noise of trumpeting elephants woke EVERYONE in the circus up and naturally they were horrified to find the animals all over the place. I guess it took a long time to gather them all up, and it didn't happen without some scratches and bites. I wasn't around for that, though. My mother rushed me and my brother away into our trailer to wait for my father, and when he finally came back an hour later (after all the animals were back) he asked them to leave us alone.

He got me to tell him why I did what I did, and then he reminded me that I never saw the animals treated badly, and although they traveled in cages, they were always released into larger pens as soon as the circus was set up. Then he explained that what I did could have resulted in both people and animals being hurt or killed, so he would have to be severe with me. He took off his belt and doubled it, then took hold of me (standing up) and bent me under his arm. I was only wearing my pajamas still, so it hurt a lot, and it didn't take much of it to get me crying. He held me for a long time afterwards - I think he was crying, too.

My brother felt so badly for me that he offered to let me sleep with him, and I took him up on it. I was still crying some as I tried to sleep, but he held me and talked softly about the quadruple flip we were going to perform in the show the next day until I fell asleep.

Robin

P.S. Just as an aside, the Flying Graysons were the only aerialists ever to successfully perform a quadruple flip. :)

Batgirl is braver than me! Or maybe girls don't mind talking about this stuff as much. We were at the Policeman's Ball, of all places (Batman and I received special invitations, and Batgirl crashed it.) Anyway, it was boring beyond belief, and she and I already knew each other (yeah, we know each other's secret identities, too) so we sort of slipped off to one corner and chatted while the grown-ups mingled. She admitted she was grounded that night and would have to get home before her father (he was a guest there, although he didn't know who SHE was) or she'd almost certainly get spanked. My eyeballs nearly fell out because I couldn't believe she'd said that, and when I told her so, she shrugged and said, "So what, why should I be embarrassed? When it happens, it's out of my control!" I hadn't thought about it before, but I felt like I should show some bravery, too, and I admitted that I still got spanked sometimes. From there we went on to describe various spankings in our past and comparing the painful results.

I never did find out if she got home before her dad or not, but she DID leave before he did...

Robin

Okay, so maybe my first date with Jubilee wasn't ALL bad (actually, for most of the day, it was great and went just we planned!) But ohhhh, how it ended.

I went out as if to school, then doubled-back to the Batcave. The security codes worked and I took the Batmobile out no problem and met Jubilee on time. :) She looked great, of course. Me, well, I looked like Robin (couldn't exactly drive the Batmobile as Dick Grayson!) We drove to the amusement park and had a BLAST! :D Jubilee was so much fun to be with! She didn't even mind that people were staring at us (I mean, Robin doesn't do a lot of daytime appearances.)

I think it was around three when we decided we'd better get her home or I'd be late getting home from 'school' myself. We went out to the parking lot only to find the Batmobile GONE!

But I was calm, cool, and collected. I only screamed like a girl and threw about ten hissy fits and begged Jubilee to do me a favour and kill me before Batman found out what I'd done.

While we were standing in the empty parking spot and I was considering life as a Tibetan monk or a hermit in the Himalayas, the Batmobile rolled back into the parking lot! I was thrilled - until I saw that Batman was driving it.

Long story short - there were defenses on the car I didn't know about, such as a tracking device and a retrieval system. Basically, the Batmobile can drive home on its own anytime Batman tells it to from his remote - which of course he did as soon as he came home from the office EARLY and went down to the Batcave to do some research and found it gone.

So what else could I do? I introduced Jubilee to Batman and he told us to get into the Batmobile's back seat, where he proceeded to strap us both into the seatbelts like we were little kids and THEN when he got in again he turned on the child door locks! -_-; He asked where Jubilee lived and although he didn't believe the first four answers she gave (including in the amusement park itself...) he eventually got a straight answer out of her with his Look of Doom (tm). He drove us to the Xavier Institute, didn't say a word the whole way. We were afraid to even whisper ourselves. When we got there, he wouldn't just let her get out at the gate, or even out of the CAR, no way. HE had to wait until someone answered the gate buzzer, and wouldn't you know it - it was Logan.

So Logan and Batman got to meet each other, and so did Logan and I. Batman explained what happened and I'll tell you, I was scared for Jubilee at the way Logan's expression darkened. Then he came and unstrapped her from the seat belt personally and hauled her out of the Batmobile (giving ME a none-too-friendly look in the process.)

Jubilee and I didn't even get to say goodbye to each other. :(

Later, Batman punished me before I was even allowed to change out of my Robin suit - that was a first. It was also a first that he didn't talk to me at all and left right afterwards ….

Robin

I can't believe what just happened.

When Alfred came a little while ago, I didn't want to let him in. But he said 'please', and I guess he's raised me with too many manners to ignore that. I let him in, and he put his hands on my shoulders. He told me that he was sorry Bruce hadn't come to see me, but that he hoped he would reconsider soon, and for me to try and be brave and wait for him. He promised me that one way or another, things would be different for all of us after tonight.

Then ... he hugged me.

For a moment, I almost thought I was imagining it, but I also thought that if I was, I didn't want it to end, so I put my arms around him and hugged him back. Hard. And (yes, darn it all) the tears started.

He held me for a long time, saying soothing things about how it would be all right and assuring me that Bruce loved me as much as he did. I cried harder at that.

I'm not sure how long we stood there like that, but I do know that by the time we parted, Alfred was almost crying himself. And he didn't seem embarrassed at all.

Robin

After Bruce took me away last night, I was pretty nervous. The study/den/library (whatever you want to call it) is where we usually go to have private 'talks' that end up with my facing the ground and my butt in the air. But this time it wasn't like that.

He had me sit down right away with him on the sofa and put his arm around me, like he normally would do after a spanking. He told me he wasn't angry anymore, and that he was sorry he hadn't spoken to me sooner (shocker #1.) Apparently he had been doing a lot of soul-searching all evening, the way Alfred had earlier when he came in to hug me. Bruce said he had been unfair to me due to his own fears - losing his parents had made him afraid to admit he loves me (and yes, he said that - I could have fainted.) He was afraid he would lose me, like he did them. But he realizes now that even if anything _did_ happen, and in our business it could at anytime, it would be much worse if one of us died and we never got to share any real closeness. He doesn't want that distance between us anymore, and says he's going to make an effort to show me how he feels from now on, without my having to assume or guess (maybe incorrectly.)

Then we segued into The Lecture. I got it in spades. How disappointed he was that I lied to he and Alfred, that I cut school, and especially that I betrayed his ultimate trust by breaking his codes and taking the Batmobile. His own feelings aside, he said, I was breaking the law by driving without a license, even if I knew how to drive. And Robin can NOT break the law and uphold it at the same time.

What can I say? He's right about that. And I didn't even really think about that before.

Then something wonderful happened. He hugged me. A REAL hug, enfolding me in those muscular arms that regularly punch out the bad guys and holding me tightly against him. I totally wasn't expecting it, but once it began, it was like with Alfred, I didn't want it to end. And while he was holding me, he told me he loved me more than anything in the world. I still can't believe he actually did it. I sort of started crying again, and he just held onto me and rocked me. He even kissed the top of my head.

I think I could get used to this. :)
