Just Don't Think
Meeting
"Richard," someone called behind Robin, he stopped but immediately regretted it. He shouldn't have responded. He couldn't help it. Even though he had permanently become Robin three years ago he still responded to his birth name. Slowly he turned around to face a girl of about seventeen. He looked at her face trying to recognize her but he couldn't see her eyes through her dark sunglasses. He waited for her to say something, eyeing her, wary.
"Rich-" she stopped, "sorry, Robin I mean." Robin looked her up and down still trying to place her. He had to know her if she knew his real name. He slowly took in her attire. It fit her stance, that of a fighter. He didn't feel that she wanted to do harm though. She wore a plain white tank top and thin, tan leather chaps that hugged her legs like a second skin, over tight dark green leggings. Black, knee high, lace up boots were secured on her feet over the chaps. Her light brown hair was long, hanging to her waist. Her face stood out the most to him. Her stubborn chin, pouting lips and small nose, was alluring, not fit for a fighter. "I just wanted to actually meet you. I've been watching you grow since you were born." She paused and Robin got ready to run thinking she was one of those crazy stalker fans trying to get him to sign everything, he hated them. "You are destined for such great things." That made him look at her again, his mind zipping back to her eyes.
"Who are you?" he asked and commanded at the same time.
"Someone who has watched you and those around you forever." She was looking at the ground as if were the most interesting thing, whispering her words. She looked up again, "You aren't the only Titan running from the past." She looked at him for a few seconds, letting the words hang in the air before beaming at him and doing a mock curtsy. "Divinia, Goddess of the Present at your service sir." Robin saw the air shimmer and for a second saw her as just a goddess. Her hair up in a messy but perfect bun, ringlets falling like water randomly from it. She wore a green dress that simultaneously hugged her and drifted away from her. The material was like air as it draped over her shoulders enveloping her in a sea of green. He still couldn't see her eyes but could tell the outfit fit her gentle face but not her personality. The air shimmered again bringing Robin back to the present.
Divinia lift the glasses from her face revealing her eyes. Robin stared at her eyes wide. Her eyes weren't normal to say the least. They were opalescent, no iris just swirlings of pale colors on plain white. She smiled at him knowing what he was thinking. She continued on as if nothing were different.
"So Robin," she said, "I was thinking of joining the titans. You do need the help even after all, Slade is back." Robin just stared at her still processing. Finally he realized what she had said.
"Oh," was all he said as he tried to regain his normally calm. Divinia looked at him waiting one eyebrow raised. "What can you do exactly?"
"Plenty" she replied, vaguely. This time it was Robin who raised an eyebrow. "I'm a goddess right? Well, I can see anything that is happening now. I can see what's happening in other dimensions, on other planets. I can remember all that has happened during my lifetime." She looked for a second that she wanted to say something else but instead looked down at her boot inspecting a scratch.
"Can you fight?" Robin questioned. She looked up from her inspection.
"Sure," she smiled mockingly. "Better than you can."
"We'll see." Robin replied not believing her words, he was after all the boy wonder. "Weapon of choice?" he questioned further.
"Knives," as she said it knives of green mist formed and she held them out for Robin. He took them and inspected them, awed by them. They were too light it seemed for their deadliness, he had no doubt they would slice any thing that touched the thin blades. The hilts were formed by green metal vines wrapping around each other and were as fragile looking as the blades. As Robin touched both he felt their unwillingness to break. Nodding his approval Robin looked at her once more.
"I guess the team should decide." It was all he said as he motioned her to follow him to the R-cycle for a ride to the Tower. She caught up to him and intertwined arms with him. He looked at her strangely, trying to free his arm from the embarrassing hold.
"You may not want to but you really should tell Starfire the truth. It will only get harder the more you put it off. And Raven also needs to know. You two really would make a perfect couple." She tried to continue but had realized that Robin had stopped walking and was just standing there staring at her. "What? You really should tell them." She stated as she started walking away. That got Robin's attention.
"Where are you going?" he yelled after her. She turned around to face him but was still moving away, walking backwards.
"Do you really think I can't get there on my own? I'm not that insane to go on that bike." She yelled back and then continued walking forward again. Robin stared after her. Suddenly she wasn't there anymore. Shaking his head he got on his bike and headed home, thinking about what the goddess had said about truth.
So… did you like it? Shall I continue?
