Robin POV
I stood still as KF ran around me. This is too easy. I stuck my foot out, tripping him. "Kid Flash: Fail."
I saw Wally roll onto his back, rubbing his head. "Ow."
I laughed as he got up, glaring at me. "That was dumb luck."
I mentally scoffed. Yeah, right. I smiled and turned around hands on my hips, looking for my next opponent. "So, who's next?"
I saw Artemis push Jasmine forward, who turned and glared at her in return. I looked at her with a huge smile on my face. "Hey, stray! Thanks for volunteering to get beaten up," I sneered.
Jasmine scowled at me as she got into a fighting stance. I threw a punch to her face. She ducked down and swept my legs out from under me. I wrapped my feet around one of her legs, tripping her. I got up and leaped at Jasmine. She rolled out of the way, causing me to fall on my face. Ow. I felt Jasmine straddle my back, grabbing my wrists. I swiftly flipped us over so I was on top of Jasmine. I turned so I was facing Jasmine, straddling her waist, smirking. Jasmine growled and tried to push me off her. I grabbed Jasmine's wrists and pinned them above her head, breathing heavily.
"Gotcha," I whispered, smirking down at Jasmine in victory. Jasmine glared up at me as she tugged at her wrists and squirmed beneath me. I tightened my hold on Jasmine's wrists and pressed my knees closer around her legs, smirking still. Jasmine looked up at me and tried to flip us over, causing me to loosen my grip. I quickly regained my balance and tightened my hold on her. Jasmine glared at me, teeth baring.
"Get off me," she growled as I continued smirking down at her. I shook my head. "Nah, I'm good."
Jasmine yelled out in frustration. Wow, she looked really hot when she was mad. Wait, what was that on her arm. I froze, the smirk falling from my face. I held Jasmine's wrists with one hand as I pulled her sleeves off her arms. I gaped at what I saw.
"Jasmine."
Jasmine began looking around the room, looking anywhere but at me. "Jasmine," I said again.
Jasmine looked up at me and I met her eyes. I let her wrists go but still straddled her waist so she couldn't go anywhere. I held up her right arm. Engraved in her skin was a message: KILL YOURSELF.
"Jasmine, what the hell is this?" I demanded. Jasmine gave me a flat look and tugged at her arm. "Its my arm."
I let my fury show on my face. "Thats not funny, Jasmine! Why are you doing this?!"
Jasmine shrugged almost casually. "Because I want to."
I felt my anger boil. Was she seriously gonna hurt herself like this and act like it was no big deal?! I couldn't hold it in anymore. I leaned down, holding Jasmine's arm tighter.
"BECAUSE YOU WANT TO?! THATS YOUR REASON FOR DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?!" I yelled in her face. Jasmine closed her eyes and cowered away from me. I realized I had gone too far and relaxed. I sighed and placed a hand on her face. How could I let my anger get the best of me? "Jasmine, I'm-"
'GET AWAY FROM HER!" Suddenly, I was pinned to the wall by my throat by…Superboy?! I pulled at his hands, but it was no use. I felt myself go lightheaded from the lack of oxygen.
"Superboy, STOP!" Jasmine. Superboy glared at me. "I heard what he said, you don't deserve to be treated like that!"
"But that doesn't mean he deserves to die!" I heard Jasmine plea. I felt Superboy let go of my throat. I dropped to the ground, gasping for air and coughing, trying to recover. I heard Jasmine and Superboy talking, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I curled up on the ground, breathing heavily. After a while, I felt something pull my head onto something else. I felt something touch my throat, then heard a sigh.
"Robin?" I looked up, still dazed. Jasmine. I realized Jasmine had pulled my head into her lap. Jasmine smiled at me gently. "Hey, Bird Boy."
"Huh, 'Bird Boy'. Thats a new one," I joked before having a coughing fit. "Shh, Robin. You need to rest a minute."
After I stopped coughing, I heard Jasmine start humming. I closed my eyes and relaxed into Jasmine's lap as she began playing with my hair. It felt nice, really nice. I looked up at Jasmine, smiling as she hummed the last few notes. I grabbed her hand, placing it on my face. I closed my eyes and leaned into her hand.
"Can you hum that song again, please?" I mumbled. Jasmine chuckled. What was so funny? "Sure."
I smiled as Jasmine hummed the song all over again, playing with my hair with her other hand. Her hum was beautiful, and her hand was so soft… I slowly drifted off to sleep, listening to Jasmine humming.
