Hey everyone! I've been working on a story for Young Justice but when i hurt the song 'What Hurts The Most' by Rascal Flatts I had just had to do a song fic with it. I'm going to give you a little background so you guys aren't confused. Now basically in this song fic Robin's girlfriend of five years goes on a mission and dies. His girlfriend's name is Roxie (I haven't quite figured out what her hero name is going to be) and they were best friends since they were in diapers. They were separated when Robin's parents died and were reunited when Batman brought Roxie in to join the team. ok enjoy the story and sorry if Robin or any other characters seem ooc.
I do not own Young Justice or the song 'What Hurts The Most'
flash backs
Song
"It's not true!" Robin yelled shaking his head, "It can't be."
"Dick…" Batman said
"IT'S NOT TRUE! YOU'RE LYING!" Robin yelled as tears started to slowly roll down his cheeks..
"I'm sorry but it's true." Batman said sadly
"It's your fault! You had to give her that mission. You knew they were after her!" Robin screamed punching Batman. Batman grabbed Robin's arms and Robin struggled to get a hit in.
"It's your fault." Robin sobbed as he stopped struggling and Batman hugged him.
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
Robin locked himself in his room. He was looking at all the pictures of him and Roxie, letting all the memories wash over him.
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
Im not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend Im ok
But thats not what gets me
"Hey Robin." Roxie chirped plopping down next to him on the couch.
"Hey Rox." Robin said looking up from his virtual computer screen.
"What cha doin?" Roxie asked moving so she could see, practically resting her head on his shoulder. She had a habit of doing that when she looked at Robin's computer screen.
"Just surfing the web." Robin said smirking at her closeness. Of course he had gotten used to her habit and enjoyed it, not that he'd tell her that.
"Ok." Roxie said and continued to watch Robin's screen, not moving from her spot on his shoulder.
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Robin had seen Roxie leave for her dance class almost two hours ago and had gone right to work. He snuck into her room and set everything up. When she walked into her room, music started playing. And then Robin sang the song Beautiful soul for her.
When the song had ended, Roxie smiled and blushed. She felt so special. Robin smiled at her and different music started playing. It was one of her favorites, 'Love Like Woe' and he sang it to her.
"So would you say you're mine?" Robin asked reciting a line from the song.
Roxie couldn't hold it in anymore and tackle hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Robin managed to wrap his arms around her and stay standing. Roxie grinned at him before kissing him.
"I'll take that as a yes." Robin said after they broke for air.
"Damn strait." Roxie said grinning.
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin to do
Robin and Roxie were on top of Mount Justice, laying on one of Roxie's oversized pillows.
"This is nice." Roxie said snuggling into Robin's chest.
"It is." Robin said kissing her forehead.
"Do you ever think about the future?" Roxie asked looking up at him
"Sometimes."
"What do you see?" Roxie asked
"What do you see?" Robin asked after thinking for a bit.
"I asked you first." Roxie pouted.
"Fine. I see you." Robin said smiling softly, "Now what do you see, miss I-can-see-into-the-future."
"You know I can't actually see into the future. I can predict the future based on the laws of probability on how physical objects react to one another." Roxie said, "But I see you too, I want to be with you forever."
Its hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But Im doin It
Roxie had just come back from dance class and had taken a shower. After she got dressed she left to go find Robin and found him in the living room on one of the couches. She walked up behind him wrapping her arms around his neck from behind and kissed his cheek. Robin jumped slightly and turned to her.
"Man you're quiet. Do need to tie a bell around your neck?" Robin teased pecking her lips
"I'm part wolf not cat, Sug." Roxie said
"Sug?" Robin looked at her confused at the pet name.
"Short for sugar. The circus spent a lot of time in the south, so I picked up the slang and use it." Roxie said jumping over the back of the couch and plopping down next to him. "So what cha doin'?"
"Waiting for you to come back from dance class." Robin said wrapping an arm around her.
"Aw that's so sweet. Maybe you can come with me some time. It'll be fun." Roxie said closing her eyes and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Maybe." Robin said running a hand through her hair. "You tired?"
"Yeah, I would have taken a nap, but I really wanted to see you." Roxie said
"Go take a nap it you need to." Robin said
"I think I'll take a nap here." Roxie said moving her head to his lap and smiled up at him. Robin chuckled as he scratched her behind her wolf ear. "Mm I'll give you a week to stop that."
Robin smiled as Ember turned to her side and closed her eyes. Robin soon fell asleep to Robin scratching behind her ears.
Its hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and Im alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin with this regret
Wally ran out of the kitchen and over to the couch Robin and Roxie was using.
"Hey Rob, where's Roxie?" Wally asked moving to jump over the back of the couch like Roxie did.
"Wait Wally don't!" Robin yelled when he saw Wally about to jump onto his sleeping girlfriend.
But it was too late. Wally plopped right on top of Roxie. Roxie yelped and started snarling and clawing at Wally. Wally yelped and jumped off her. Roxie glared evilly at Wally who was now on the floor.
"What the hell dude, I was sleeping!" Roxie growled
"I didn't know you were there!" Wally said, and then looked at Robin, "Why didn't you tell me she was there?"
"I tried to." Robin said, "And Rox calm down."
Roxie grunted and laid her head back on Robin's lap. He smiled at her. She was a little spitfire but she was his spitfire. And he loved that he was the only one that could calm her fiery temper.
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
Robin stared sadly at the casket that held pictures and some of Roxie's trinkets. They never found Roxie's body. The explosion had totally disintegrated her body along with everything else in the immediate area. Roxie had sacrificed herself to save hundreds of people.
There were many heroes at the funeral. Batman was on his left and Aqualad was on his right. Megan was sobbing into Connor's chest and he was comforting her. Artemis was silently crying and Wally had his arms wrapped around her as he too cried silently. Robin tried to smile when he saw them. Roxie was a known matchmaker and would have been squealing in happiness to see that Wally and Artemis had gotten together.
Then they started to lower the casket and Robin held back a sob. It had been hard enough this past few weeks to accept Roxie's death. Tears slipped past his sunglasses as more memories of Roxie entered his mind.
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
"Robin!" Roxie yelled tackling him to the ground.
"Roxie!" Robin growled playfully glaring at the red head on top of him.
"What?" Roxie asked innocently, tilting her head to the side and blinking her big red eyes.
"Why did you tackle me?" Robin asked
"Because then I could do this!" Roxie said and started tickling Robin. Robin laughed as he tried to push her hands away, but she was a lot stronger than he was. Roxie was the only one that knew he was ticklish.
"I give! I give! You win!" Robin laughed
"Yay!" Roxie exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air.
"Ok, ok, you can get off me now." Robin said smiling up at her.
"Maybe I don't want to." Roxie said smirking as she leaned down so their faces were less than an inch apart. "Maybe I want my victory kiss."
"You're insane you know that?" Robin asked running his hands through her hair.
"But you love me anyway." Roxie chirped
"Yup." Robin said and kissed his girlfriend.
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
"Don't go, this mission is too dangerous. Let the League handle it." Robin begged his girlfriend, holding her close. They were curled up on his bed having just finished watching a movie and Roxie had told him about her mission.
"I have to. I'm the only one that can do it." Roxie said softly.
"You could get hurt."Robin said burying his face in her hair.
"I know, but its part of the job. We're heroes Robin. There are always possibilities that we might get hurt." Roxie said, "I'll try my best to come back in one piece."
"You better." Robin said, "I love you too much to lose you now."
"I love you too, always and forever." She whispered
"Always and forever." Robin whispered
Roxie smiled at him and pulled him into a kiss. Robin wrapped his arms around her, holding her as if she would disappear if he didn't.
What hurts the most was being
so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
Roxie smiled and waved at Robin as she walked into Megan's bio ship. She blew a kiss just before the doors closed and the ship took off.
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Robin looked down at the ring in his hand, that had, at one time, been his mother's. It was silver ring with a red stone that matched Roxie's blood red hair. He's had it either in his hand or pocket since Roxie left. He had planned to ask Roxie to marry him when she got back from her mission, but that was never going to happen now.
The funeral ended and everyone left, but Robin. Robin continued to stand in front of Roxie's grave until night fell and Batman came back to get him.
"It's not far. Why did she have to die?" Robin asked, his tears had dried and he felt like he had no more to shed.
"At least she died a hero. She did it to save you and everyone she loved." Batman said, "Roxie wouldn't want you to be like this. She'd want you to be happy."
"I can't be happy without her. I was going to asked her to marry me and we were going to start a family." Robin said sadly, "This should have never have happened."
I'm saying that loving you
Thats what I was tryin' to do
Ok I'm probably going to make this a two-shot cause I don't like sad endings. Tell me if you guys want a happy ending and tell me what you think. If you have any questions about Roxie or the story ask me.
