Author's Note: This idea was conceived on a Smashboards topic and I just had to roll with it. I'm going to do Fire Emblem Support conversations with smashers! I'll do these whenever I get good ideas for one, but you can also contribute by telling me which supports you would be most interested to see in a review? (Don't forget to include actual review bits and why you'd want to see that support. The why is usually how I get ideas).

As for how these would unlock in a smash bros game… I'm think C rank would unlock when you face the character in a one v. one time match. B would be unlocked through a smash run battle (Or something else for Wii U peoples). A rank would be from team matches of any kind, but you have to unlock C and B first. Finally for an S rank you'd have to take part in a 99 stock battle against them. Yeah because crazy. Just for fun, and so you know what some character are talking about in the Supports.

Finally, this is a personal request, but please keep away from yaoi x yuri pairings. If that is your thing that is fine, but please understand that is not my thing. I will however be perfectly happy to do male and female relationships up to an A rank since I imagine all the smashers being friends.

Without further ado, I present the first support (M)Robin X Palutena

C Rank

In the cool down room of Smash Brothers HQ, the latest contestants had finally finished their duel. Lady Palutena rested her staff against the wall, relieved she could finally put it down. Across from her, Robin unloaded his small arsenal onto a table. Several tomes and swords clattered together in a heap, and he leaned back in his chair while rolling his shoulders.

"That was a fine match just now. Sir Robin. "She said, offering her opponent in the latest fight a friendly handshake.

Robin shot her a smile as well, grasping her hand in a firm handshake. "Yes it was. You're very strong Lady Palutena. You were a goddess in your home dimension, if I remember correctly?" He asked.

Palutena nooded, before taking the other seta at the table. Robin kindly moved his assortment of tomes and swords to the side so her sightline wasn't blocked. "Yes. In my world I am the Goddess of Light, guardian of the human race."

Robin seemed very interested in this. "So you're like the divine dragon Naga?"

"I'm afraid I don't know much about your world, so I can't really say." Palutena said.

Robin realized his mistake, and attempted to elaborate. "I guess you're actually a goddess, while Naga is the leader of the divine dragons and only revered as a god. At least, it sounds different." He said. He noticed Palutena was frowning, and quickly tried to rectify his mistake. "I don't really have any data for a true comparison."

Palutena eyed the nervous tactician with a sly grin. It seems she'd gained an upper hand thanks to his comment. "Yes well, most of the time people do not appreciate being compared to another." She said, pressing the sore spot rather effectively.

She almost giggled at the way Robin flustered for the right words to try and explain himself further. "That wasn't what I was trying to… forgive me." He said, his head sinking in shame.

Palutena let out a laugh. He was making it too easy to poke fun at him. "It's quite alright. You remind of Pit." She said, before she noticed something. Up until now, even during the battle, she hadn't noticed it. Inside of Robin, perhaps in a part even unknown to himself, there was some sort of dark secret. She leaned forward curiously. "There's something else about you that's strange though…"

Robin stiffened suddenly. "I'm not sure what you mean." He said, though his voice was a dead giveaway.

Palutena folded her hands together in front of her mouth as she continued to speak, perhaps without considering it first. "Your light, it shines warmly and yet inside is a… darkness."

Robin nearly banged his knee as he stood quickly. "No that's… I'm not… I should go." He said, before quickly gathering his things and departing the room. Palutena tried to stop him, but it was in vain.

She flopped back into the chair, wondering what on earth she had done wrong. "I must've scared him off with that talk of darkness." She said to herself, realizing her mistake. "I suppose I'll have to apologize to him later. I'm not very good with those, so I do wonder how I should go about it…" She sat there with her arms crossed, but no ideas alighted themselves upon her.

B Rank

Back at the Smash Bros HQ, Robin and Palutena were once more left alone in the cool down room. The others had all already left for the day, and Robin was trying to quickly take inventory before dashing out of the door. Palutena had noticed that he had been avoiding her for the past two weeks of matches, and it was honestly starting to get on her nerves. She was the goddess of light, not the annoying person in the store who keeps talking to the store clerk while the store clerk is ringing up your items and you feel really awkward and don't want to use your credit card because you're paranoid the person is like, trying to steal your numbers.

She was nothing like that, so she walked up behind Robin and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned in spite of himself. "Ah, Lady Palutena, I was just finishing my inventory before heading out. You can go ahead without me." He said, staring down at his clipboard.

She sighed, before taking the clipboard from him. "Allow me to assist you Sir Robin. I noticed after the fight you were messaging your shoulder more than usual. Are you alright?"

Robin balked. Apparently he hadn't thought anyone had noticed. "Well, using the Levin sword does tire me out, but it's nothing to worry about." He said. "Besides, I like taking inventory. It always calms me down after a fight."

Palutena still kept the clipboard, though she marveled at the details Robin included. Not only was it a stock of everyone's weapons, but a full inventory of the items and the status of the friends they calle don in combat through the use of assist trophies. She never did understand how they managed to keep Andross under control. "Then why are you avoiding me entirely outside of battles?" She asked.

Robinlooked at her. She gave him a very knowing look, and he sighed. "Avoiding? I'd like to deny it, but you've clearly seen through my intent."

"If it was something I said we should talk it out. Now please, sit." She said, placing his clipboard in front of her as she sat at the table. Currently several item bottles remained on the table, but she brushed them aside lightly with the clipboard.

Robin scratched the back of his head nervously. "I'm not sure that's—"

"Sit." She commanded. She had gotten used to not talking like a leader, but Robin's evasiveness was bringing out her general side. Robin seemed to be weighing his options before he decided on the wisest course, and sat down opposite her. She smiled. "Chrom told me about how you lost your memory. Lucina was even more kind and told me how you were meant to be the vessel for a dark dragon known as Grima. They both said you fought well against a terrible fate."

Robin let out a soft chuckle at the mention of his friends. It was obvious now what she was trying to do. "Anything can change. Chrom and the rest of my friends all taught me that."

Paletuna felt a soft smile spread across her face. His tone when speaking of his friends was a pleasant one to hear. Much nicer than he had been talking to her with that strange robotic forced tone when he was trying to escape. "Friends… a marvelous things to have. Might I consider you a friend as well?" She asked. She realized this wasn't a full apology, but she hoped her research into understanding him was enough.

Robin looked surprised. "Us? But you're—"

"No different than any other fighter here." She interrupted. "Isn't that right, Robin?" She said, with that strange glint in her eye he found hard to say no to.

"Sure, Palutena." He said.

Paletuna got up and stretched, before returning his clipboard. This had gone remarkably well. "Maybe next time we should work together? That sounds like it'd be very fun." She said, looking at her new friend with hopeful eyes.

Robin found he couldn't say no. "I have a bad feeling about this…" He muttered to himself, returning to his task of taking inventory.

A Rank

The teammates returned to the rest room, Palutena laughing happily at their resounding success. Robin, looking more charred than usual, followed behind her wearily. He flopped uselessly into one of the chairs at the table, taking of his cloak and trying to air it out. It was still smoking.

Palutena sat across from Robin happily, humming a little tune to herself. "That was a great fight! I haven't felt this refreshed in ages!" she said happily. It was true.

Robin couldn't help it. He was about to lose his temper big time over what had just occurred. "A great fight? You used me as a shield! Several times!" He said, gesticulating wildly with his nonsmoking hand. Thankfully smash HQ had excellent healing facilities so he'd be good as new soon enough.

"But we won, didn't we?" Palutena said, pouting slightly. She knew she hadn't followed his plan exactly, but they had managed to defeat the other team in the battle, pretty handily too in her own opinion.

Robin sighed and laid his head back on the table. "Now I understand what Pit goes through." He muttered.

"What was that?" Palutena said, indignant. Apparently he hadn't muttered it softly enough.

Robin forced himself up. Even if she was a goddess, this was too much. "Are you seriously off your rocker? Half of your tactics are intelligent and well thought through, while the other half is like dealing with a battle maniac!" He said, recalling several moments that were good and several more that were out of his nightmares.

"It worked, didn't it?" Palutena said, returning to her pout strategy. Robin was convinced it was a strategy to make him feel bad for being angry.

It wasn't working. "I'm a tactician! When I lay out battle plans I stick to them because otherwise the battle goes south quickly! When you threw everything off, it made it difficult to perform well! Then you started just throwing me at them like it was going to help!" He said, trying desperately to illustrate his point.

Palutena crossed her arms, her pout remaining firm. "It did help. We won. I still don't get why you're so mad." She said, looking away.

"AGH! I am never teaming up with you again! Never!" He declared, before storming from the room to get fixed. His smoking cloak remained behind.

"Wait, Robin, come back!" Palutena called, but to no avail. She returned to her seat, pouting for real now. "I didn't mean for... oh dear. It seems I have to apologize again." She said, sighing to herself. It was so hard being honest.

S Rank

After the ninety-nine stock battle, both Robin and Palutena were collapsed on the battlefield, breathing heavily and doing their best to remain conscious as the medical team examined them. Mario had been shooed away even after trying to sneak over with his doctor coat on, since his pills were not going to help them in this case.

Palutena managed to catch her breath enough to speak. She really hoped Robin wouldn't blow her off. "Now will you… forgive me?" She asked, a pleading look in her eyes.

Robin continued to try and ctach his breath, but was much less successful than the goddess. "Yeah… I guess… I have to… man I'm exhausted." He said, realizing his complaints from before no longer seemed to manner after ninety-nine full lives of beating the ever loving crud out of each other.

Palutena smiled. It was the first smile he had seen out of her in a few eeks, now that he remembered. He felt a stabbing guilt in his gut that annoyed him. "Would you… be willing to talk… after we rest?" She asked.

"Sure." Robin said, hoping that would alleviate some of his guilt. He was glad to find it did. Soon enough both of them were carted off to recovery, and after another two hours, they found themselves once more in the rest room. They glanced at each other, before looking away in embarrassment.

Palutena was the first to break the silence. "I'm glad you were willing to hash things out." She said, shuffling her feet.

Robin scratched his head before looking up, catching her gaze once more. "Well you were so insistent about it I couldn't really say no." he said, smiling slightly.

Palutena returned his smile. "One of the perks of being a goddess, you've got as much time to pester people as you need." She said, her smile becoming slightly mischievous.

Robin laughed for the first time in weeks. "I guess I am glad we could talk again." He said. He then blushed slightly, as the next part he knew wasn't easy to say. "Look I'm… sorry about before. Usually people follow my directions when we work together, so when we were fighting and everything went differently than I thought, well…" He trailed off, shrugging.

Palitena clasped her hands to her chest, her smile returning to a more genuine state. "No, I went against your plan as well." She said, acknowledging her fault for the first time. "I got caught up in the heat of battle and rushed in like a fool. A goddess should know better."

Robin chuckeld. They were finally behaving like true equals. "No kidding. You make people worry." He said.

"People?" She asked, eying him suspiciously. He blushed and turned away.

"Well your partner does…" he started, before sighing. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep his ruse up in front of her. "I was worried."

Paletuna felt a warmth she had never felt before spread through her body. For some reason knowing Robin had been worried about her made her even more pleased than when he had apologized about his earlier behavior. Maybe she herself was feeling something similar to him. "Should I take this as a confession of some kind?" She asked, her coy smile springing up once more.

Robin scratched his nose while his blush deepened. Words seemed to fail him once again in her presence. "Only if you want to?" He finally offered.

Paletunaslowly reached over and grasped his hand, a blush spreading across her face as well. "I think I might." She said.

They sat there for a while, simply enjoying each other's company. When Pikachu entered with Little Mac at his heels, they quickly broke apart in embarrassment. Palutena giggled at her own behavior. "Willing to enter the team competition with me again Robin? I think we may do a bit better this time." She said, glancing at Little Mac and Pikachu.

"You know what? I was thinking the same thing." Robin said. Little Mac and Pikachu looked at them in confusion, which only worsened as the two left together.

"PIKACHU!" Pikachu suddenly shouted.

"Wait, they're a thing now!" Little Mac cried in surprise. "Geez, you wouldn't expect that. A goddess and her tactician eh…?"
