Betrayal...

trainedbythebat"Master Timothy, you realize that you do have a plethora of homework to catch up on, seeing as how you have missed one week of school already?"
"Wasn't my fault, Alfred-the school didn't send me the information on when it started until just this past Saturday, and I was at the Tower."
"Be that as it may, sir, you should at least concentrate on finishing your schoolwork. It's quite important if you plan to attend Gotham University and continue your education."
(grins wickedly)
"Don't worry, Alfred-I'll be sure to get right on it..."
(feels a breeze of air shoot by, knows that Kid Flash-otherwise known as Bart-has just finished his entire stack of homework)
******************
Have I ever betrayed someone? That's quite a question, one I've never given much thought to. I'll need to think up an appropriate answer and give my response later near the end. In the meantime, I can give a list of those who've betrayed my trust, which aren't many:
The one who'd be at the top of my list is obvious, since I mentioned him once before-Batman, known to only a select few as Bruce Wayne. The reasons he's betrayed me are short ones, but they're effective enough for me to not fully trust him, even if he is my adopted father-as mentioned, he'd told Stephanie Brown who I was, he interrupted my date with Cassie a few months ago, and a little over two years ago, when I'd been forced to quit being Robin, he replaced me with my then-girlfriend Stephanie! True, I may have snuck out once or twice to have a good time with some friends, but at least I've never told any of my friends who Batman really is.
Another person who's betrayed my confidence in them is, ironically enough, my best friend, Kon-El, better known as Conner Kent, or Superboy. True, I'd still trust him in any situation no matter what evil being we would face during the weekend, but he really struck a nerve with me during the time I'm remembering. It was when we were part of the team then known as Young Justice, and I had been the leader-in other words, before Cassie was elected leader. Kon had accused me of being like Batman-of having information about the entire team, like Batman once had information about the entire Justice League, in case they all needed to be defeated. Naturally, we ended up in a fight that eventually was broken up by Cassie and Greta. During that same day, I found out that Cassie and Bart even had their doubts about me. That was one of the main reasons why, for a time, I had quit Young Justice. True, we'd gotten past those troubling issues, but that's a moment I'll never forget.
***************
Aside from sneaking out to hang with some friends, or being forced to lie to my dad, I don't think I've ever betrayed anyone. Despite the people I mentioned in my list, I'd still trust them throughout any dangerous situation that we happened to find ourselves in.
