Summary: Robin's sanity is pushed to its limit when his worst nightmare comes true: his arch enemy is back, but it's not Robin he's after this time. It's Starfire.
Not About Angels
Preface
Robin
She fucking terrified me.
She had this thing about her, and I wasn't exactly sure how to describe it. She had the ability to put the fear of God in you, and then turn around and become the most innocent thing you'd ever seen. She was confusing, abnormal. She wasn't typical.
But Jesus, that's why I loved her.
The way she walked, she could take on an army. She could look at you and make you pool into a puddle on the floor without even batting a damn eyelash. She didn't take any shit from anyone. Tough as nails. A full-blooded worrier.
All of that, though, wasn't what scared me shitless.
She made me feel things I had never felt before. I lived my whole life based on control of not only myself, but the people around me, too. She made me toss all that out the window. The hero disappeared. And though I would never admit it, she brought out the best in me.
The loss of control, that's what scared me.
But God those emerald eyes and that brillient red hair was enough to make me want to throw being a hero to the fucking wind and just tell her how I felt.
I wouldn't, though. And we both knew that.
I was such a fucking coward.
You know, there's a time where every man has to fight for the things they love. I never thought I would ever face that fact, because I was determined to force such a thing out of my life. Heroes don't love. I fought for people every damn day.
But because of her, I had something to fight for. Something that could be used against me.
I had two voices in my head.
I could hear Bruce. I could hear his fucking voice telling me what an idiot I was.
"Never fall in love with anyone, especially a teammate."
"Never let your guard down like that. Don't give someone the opportunity to break you."
Then I could hear my mother.
"Richard. You deserve to be happy more than anyone on this Earth. No matter what, you will always make the right decisions. Do what makes you happy. Do what your heart says is right."
The world does some fucked up shit to you sometimes.
Might as well go out swinging.
A/N: Aiight, just a little sneak peek of what is to come in the future. Chapter 1 is about half way done. I'm hoping to have that up tonight as well.
Reviews would be lovely, and I do appreciate constructive criticism. Please be kind.
Chapters will be longer than this, by the way. This was just the preface.
Thanks for reading!
