Robin cackled his cackle that made Artemis shudder as he passed her in the hall to his Room in Mount Justice. She watched him go and walked out to the kitchen where Megan was cooking some cookies. Or more like burning them. "What up with Boy Weirdo over there?" Megan was pulling out the cookies when she answered Artemis, "No idea, i saw him looking under the couch but that was it. Then he did that weird laugh thingy." She threw the cookies into the trash and made a face then turned back to Artemis, "Is it normal for humans to laugh like that?" Artemis looked back at the Hallway and shook her head, "No."
Harley poked her head into the training room, Kaldur and Conner were training. But Kaldur got distracted as Harley walked in only in her Robe. Who sometimes forgot that it wasn't just her brother and his girlfriend that were here often anymore. "Hey Kald, Conner? Have any of you seen my notebook? Its kinda lost." Conner punched Kaldur in the face as Kaldur got distracted, and Conner swiveled around to face her. Kaldur fell back before recomposing himself into a standing position, not to be embarrassed. Conner rolled his eyes at his something of a sibling, "If you don't have and don't know where it is, its IS considered lost Harley." Harley rolled her eyes, and smiled at Kaldur, "You haven't seen it Kal?" Kaldur wanted to melt right there, she was smiling and talking to him at all the same time. He shook his head. Not uttering a word. Harley sighed and disappeared. Conner looked at Kaldur, "Kaldur are you okay, you look, weird." Kaldur's focus came to him just then. "I am FIne Superboy, let continue."
"Why would i want to go to the Cave? I'm not gonna join Rob."
"Calm down, i'm not trying to enlist you or anything. Just want you to visit. Kaldur and Wally would like to see you anyway."
"You sure? I mean it'd be good to see them. Has SHE said anything about me?"
"Oh she has..."
"Rea-"
"Just get over here Roy."
"Fine.."
"MEGAN! You better not be making more cookies, i'm not going shopping until next week." Harley called as she smelled the familiar scent. Megan quickly stopped her work and went to sit on the couch, next to Conner who was actually watching something other than static. Harley flew by the kitchen and was looking around frantically "Have any of you seen my Poem Notebook, i haven't seen it all day." Conner shook his head, and Megan did too, "no, but if i see it i'll take it to you okay..." Harley smiled gratefully, "thanks Megan." and Flew off to search elsewhere.
Kaldur walked to the kitchen for some food as he just showered from training. artemis was Now in the training room, when Wally Zeta-ed in. He was smiling and stuffing his face with cookies, "Heya guys. Any of you Seen Robin, he wanted to see me." Artemis called out, "No Baywatch, last i saw him he was cackling."
Wally almost choked, "HE WAS WHAT!?" Everyone looked at him oddly, with the exception of Kaldur, who answered in a calmer tone, "It is only to be of concern because that Cackle of Robin's means mischief " Artemis shuddered as she relived the Cackling Robin Moment. Just then Harley flew out, screaming, "WHERE"S ROBIN!?" She had overheard the conversation and already knew what happened to her notebook.
Just as Robin appeared, and Harley was gonna choke him, Roy Zeta-ed in. And instead of announcing "red arrow B04" it announced something else entirely.
"I will love you forever,
You said so many times i lost count,
I believed every word,
Until i overheard what you said to her.
You said those lines to another,
You made her felt like she belonged,
That's when i knew,
Forever isn't long! (Not so Long!)
You will forever be mine,
You told me so many times,
Now i ain't sure if i should believe,
If i lost my heart, would you go out to retrieve (it)"
Harley gasped and her face went Red. Just Like Wally's hair. And Roy's face began to match his Costume and his hair. Harley glared at Robin and his face crumbled. His Harmless joke turned out to be more harmful than he thought. "Harley i-" But he never finished Harley cut him off eyes watering, and sad, "How could you?" and she flew out of the cave crying. Robin stuttered. Roy glared at him and walked off, "i cant believe you." He turned his back on them and Zeta-ed out.
Wally wanted to laugh, but he also felt really bad for Harley. If anyone read what he wrote about Artemis, things wouldnt be so good either. Kaldur stared in disbelief He was sorry for what harley just went through, but also he was some what angry. He was jealous. Harley wrote poems. But not about him. He looked at his feet for thinking so selfishly, when obviously Harley was in emotional pain.
Artemis didnt really know what to do, Harley was never emotional on the outside. And what Robin justed pulled had made Harley cry. Harley never cried. Both Megan and Superboy only glared at Robin, nothing else was need to be said.
Robin hung his head in shame and walked to his room. "i'm never gonna pull a prank again." he said as he closed his door.
But then again, when will Robin NOT play a trick?
