Whenever I get lost in thought while playing an instrument, my mind starts to run through memories that I yearn to forget. Memories like the moment when my friend Jason died, beaten with a crowbar by some lunatic dressed like a clown. Memories like when Bruce had unwillingly undergone experimental lobotomy and the insane doctor forced me to watch. Memories like the face of my mother as she fell to her death.

"Yo, Rob. Break time," KidFlash grabbed my shoulder, shaking me a little.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked, I quickly stood up and pushed him away.

"I'm fine."

"It happened again, didn't it?"

"...Yeah."

"Now that it's time for intermission, a word from our sponsors-"

Wally shut the dressing room door behind him, blocking out all the sounds from the stage. We both stripped off our masks and sat next to Connor and Kaldur.

"Hey Rob, you still going to do that new song?" Connor asked before he took a huge swig of water.

"I don't know, who's to say she is even watching?"

"Why don't you just ask her?" Kaldur suggested

"Wouldn't that seem a little suspicious, me just calling her and asking if she is watching the concert?"

"Don't you have that Archery thing with her tomorrow? Tell her you called to make sure she is still going through with it,"

"Dude, Wally, you are a genius!" I got up quickly and grabbed my phone,

"I'll be right back!"

Making sure my mask was on and I was somewhere no one could find me, I dialed her number.

"Hello?"

"Babs? Hey! It's Dick,"

"Hey! Why the random call? Is something wrong?"

"Huh? No, nothing is wrong. I was, I was just wondering if we are still on for after school tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow...Oh right, for the-"

"Archery lesson."

"Yeah, I'd have Artemis teach me but you know how competitive she gets."

"I hear the first prize this year for the sports competition is V.I.P. passes and tickets to a Young Justice concert."

"AND a new computer! Speaking of Young Justice, I'm actually watching their concert right now."

"Heh, you would only do it for the computer-" KidFlash popped out of nowhere,

"Dude you need to get on stage,"

"-huh? Oh ok, just give me another minute and I'll be right there."

"Who was that?"

"Excuse me?"

"In the background, it sounds like you're at a crowded place."

"Wayne benefit, Bruce has to give a speech and boring stuff like that. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yep! Bye."

"Later."

I combed my fingers through my hair, trying to slow down my heart. God, she made me so nervous. I started walking towards the stage, the lights blinding as I walked from behind the curtain. Hundreds, thousands, of girls were screaming at us. It was nerve wracking to say the least but it's not like this is my first concert, or my first time on a stage. The nerves go away after a few seconds and I smile at them, always give the audience what it wants.

"And we're back with Young Justice!"

An assistant handed me a guitar, another handed me a mic. It was now or never. Coming to the center of the stage, the crowd hushed as it waited to hear what I would say.

"This next song is one I wrote for a girl who, quite frankly, is incredibly whelming to me. I know you're watching and I just wanted to say that we've been friends since we were kids and...and this song basically sums up how I feel about you."

As I strummed the first few chords, I wondered what her reaction would be if she found out that I wrote this for her?

I smiled.

"Oh you're everything I'm wanting

Come to think of it, I'm aching

On account of my transgression..

Will you welcome this confession?

Could this be out of line? (Could this be out of line?)

To say you're the only one breaking me down like this

You're the only one I would take a shot on

Keep me hanging on so contagiously"

So what did you think? I will admit, writing from Dick's point of view was a lot more fun than writing in Barbara's. And quicker. And easier.

Some people think that putting in song lyrics is a little cheesy, but I think its cute at a moderate amount :)
Thoughts are always welcomed! Just be polite with criticism.
