"Painting a picture?" A cool voice asked.
"Huh?"
"You're staring bird boy." Her amethyst eyes met his masked ones, empty but for mild curiosity and annoyance at his staring.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking." He looked away from where she was curled up on the sofa, book in hand. A familiar sight, one that shouldn't make him yearn for her. Yet it did.
"Obsessions are never healthy Robin." She set the book aside and sat up to really look at him, his past obsessions worrying her mind slightly.
"I'm not obsessing about anything, I am just thinking." He insisted turning back to her, "I promise." He said to her disbelieving look.
"Very well," She stood and headed into the kitchen area to make a cup of her ever present tea. "Just remember that there are five of us on this team, not just you." She said speaking of his past escapades in trying to deal with his obsessions.
"I know, I already promised. No more Red X, no more apprentice stunts." He gave her one of his most charming smiles, to no obvious effect. "Trust me."
"I do trust you," She turned from him to pour the hot water over the tea bag in her cup. "I trust you as much as I am able."
"Where are the others?" He asked, wanting to get away from the subject of how he had abused her trust in him.
She looked at him silently, holding the mug in both hands and sipping her tea.
"I have no idea," She met his gaze with a slight smirk, causing his heart to stutter for a moment. "I'm a superhero, not their keeper."
"Just wondered, it's awfully quiet today." He turned back around on the sofa focusing on the view outside their windows. Rain pelted down and he saw a few cracks of lightening followed by the sound of thunder. "I can't imagine any of them wanting to be out in this."
"I try not guess when it comes to those three, the gods only know what they are up to." She grimaced, remembering the time Cyborg and Beast Boy had taken a trip into her meditation mirror.
With a wave of her hand, she drew her book to her and began to head to her room, just to be sure none of them had decided to get brave and venture in there.
Robin watched her leave, cloak swirling and offering tempting glances at her petite body. He swallowed with difficulty. Yeah obsession wasn't healthy, he sighed, but what else could he do.
