Word
Robin was a man of secrets.
He kept secrets from his team. He kept secrets for his team.
No one could really blame him. He was afraid that they would get hurt if they knew.
Seven days ago, he had gone to see a movie with Starfire. When they returned to his R-Cycle, there was a note on it.
When he read it, he was certain that someone was trying to send him a message. Nobody writes in blood for no reason. O+ blood to be exact.
They live by the eye,
They only serve ham.
They are the pirate's sea bed
TreasurE
(Tell no One)
He wasn't a poet. Never had been and probably never will be. Only the last line made sense to him.
Raven was a woman of even more secrets.
She loved having her privacy. She needed to have her privacy.
No one could really blame her. Her secrets were too dark for them to handle.
Seven days ago, she went to her favourite tea place at the edge of town. When she sat down, the wind blew a piece of paper that landed right in her face.
When she read it, she knew someone was trying to send her a message. Nobody writes in blood for no reason.
Ever the murderous saint,
Eternal palette of hell's whims
Enchanting like witches,
Escort of evil.
(Ever silent be or else.)
Raven was a poet. Always had been and always loved poetry. She knew exactly what it meant and she wasn't happy about it.
Starfire was a woman of few secrets.
She loved and trusted her friends. She knew they loved and trusted her.
No one could really blame her. They all knew that secrets were burdens that sweet Starfire shouldn't have to bear.
Seven days ago, she went to the mall in search for a nice hat to wear to the beach. When she came back to the tower and tried on the hat in front of the mirror, a note fell out of it.
When she read it, she thought it was a love poem. After all, red is the colour of passion and love.
Explosion of sweetness in mouth,
Eternal dia-dem upon forehead.
Ever the cause of dia-betes, sugar,
Ecstasy of a highness in lows.
(Ever keep our secret)
Starfire was confused and scared. She thought she knew what it meant but she had no idea what to do with it.
Cyborg was a man of some secrets.
He kept to himself mainly what was necessary: like how his robotic body and security systems worked.
No one could really blame him. These secrets were essential to his survival and their protection.
Seven days ago, he went to the hardware store to buy some replacement tools. When he returned to the T-Car, there was a note on his windscreen that looked like a parking ticket.
When he read it, he thought it was an advertisement. After all, advertisers use red and bold letters to get attention.
Never before have they sunk so low,
No bargaining, no begging, no time.
Neither can see what either can see,
Not until you visit me.
(Never speak of this)
Cyborg thought it was the strangest advertisement he'd ever seen but thought little of it. Hansel's Hardware was famous for their advertising gimmicks. He tossed the note in the glove compartment and drove off.
Beast Boy was a man of certain secrets.
He kept to himself certain things that were important to him. Harmless things he didn't want the others to know.
No one could really blame him. Every man is entitled to protect his ego.
Seven days ago, he sat in his room reading his latest comic book that had just come in the mail. When he had reached the middle of the book, there was the strangest note inside.
When he read it, he rejoiced because he thought that the note meant that his comic was a 'special edition'.
So awesome is a lead-less pencil!
Still creative are the works of dull minds,
Superb for entertainment and nothing else.
So young is this wine, it will never age.
(Silence... keep this to yourself)
Beast Boy smiled as he carefully tucked the note in the same page that he found it. That day was a very good day for him.
And so, only Robin and Raven knew, and only Robin and Raven feared.
This was definitely strange and new, for all five didn't know what neared.
