As robin I have been fighting crime since I was nine, I never leave home without my utility belt, so imagine my surprise when my whole class is in trouble and the one time I need it, my belt was in my backpack at school. My class was going on a field trip to the museum in metropolis. When we were crossing the Southbridge leaving the city we heard an explosion. My classmates and I were on our school bus when bridge began to wobble. We looked back to see what the commotion was and saw that The bridge had been blown apart, suddenly we heard was people screaming and running. My teacher told us that we had to get off the bus as quickly as possible so we all made a single file line. When I stepped off the bus I saw Solomon Grundy standing on the other side of the bridge "Perfect time to leave my belt behind "I said under my breath.
I hit my communicator it signaled for Batman, I always keep it under my tie, sure he was going to scold me but this WAS an emergency and I didn't have a choice. When we stepped off the bus I notice the bridge was breaking "Everyone you have to get as far back as possible!" I yelled to all my classmates. They began to run as did my teacher and I. I was the last one of the bus When I began trying to run to catch up with them the bridge cracked. I was stuck in the middle of the bridge and the concrete was breaking I knew if I moved it could possibly break all the way off, and I could fall. I said my prayers and hoped that batman would make it in time. I close my eyes when I heard a crack in the concrete I thought It was me, and I was falling but it wasn't the concrete that I was standing on. I turned around slowly expecting batman but, it wasn't him instead it was Superboy standing behind me. "Are you all right" he said as he reached his hand out to me all I could do was stare into his blue eyes they were reassuring some how. 'This is a great time for him to be here' I thought to my self 'it's a good thing he doesn't know who my secret identity is.
I heard the sound barrier break I looked up and saw Superman flying over my head. "Superboy!" he yelled "I'll take care of Solomon Grundy you get the boy off of the concrete" Superboy stepped onto the concrete softly and picked me up "don't worry, I have you". I put my arms around him and he pulled me in close to his chest, I could hear his heart beat. He had picked me up in the princess style he looked into my face and with a soft voice said "come on we got to get you out of here". He began to put pressure on his feet and jumped as high and as softly as he could. The concrete fell. We leaped off of cars but the bridge was so unstable he had no choice to jump and put me on a pillar "stay here" he said as he went back to fight Solomon Grundy. "Superman watch out" he jumped in the way and punched Solomon Grundy in the face. Grundy punched Superboy back and sent him flying. Superman took the opening and punch down on the grown so he would loose his balance superman was trying to restrain him. "Connor I need something to time down with". Superboy turned his head and looked around. He grabs the metal rope that was on the bridge sidewalk rail and threw it to Superman. Superboy held one end as superman flew around Solomon Grundy and tied It securely trapping Grundy.
"We have to find somewhere to put Grundy" superman said and then out of nowhere Batman tapped me on the shoulder. "Dick are you OK" he said staring at me "yes I'm OK how did you find me" I said standing there confused as to where the hell he came from. "I put a tracker in you bat call, where is your utility belt" he said looking down at my waist. I gave him a nervous look "I left it at school I couldn't bring my backpack on the field trip" he looked at me with one of his notorious bat stares "we will have a talk about this when we get home" that means he will be scolding me "for now stay up here and don't blow your cover I'll go down there and handle that" I looked at Batman sarcastically "where am I going to go" I smirked. He gave me an evil look and then flew down to superman. Wow I had managed to get saved by two big name hero's and a famous sidekick if I was a regular kid I would be geeking out. Batman yelled "Superman what is the static" Batman we have to put him somewhere" Superman reported. Batman looked at Connor "We will take it from here you get that boy and take him to safety" Conner looked up at me, I began to blush I never seen how the hero thing looked from the outside looking in and right now Superboy looked really cool I wondered if this is how he looked in the covert mission and I wouldn't know because I was normally paired up with wally. Batman patted Conner "good job" Conner gave a little smile.
As Batman's son I knew how It felt to work next to him, to be saved by him was a whole different feeling it embarrassed me some. Conner jumped up and stood in front of me "are you OK" he said staring me in the eyes luckily I learned to mask my voice "yes" I said. he looked at me and smiled "we will get you out of here" he picked me up again, like he did before and jumped. This time I could smell his scent because of the wind it was intoxicating he smelled like strawberry's. It was amazing how far he could leap. He continued to jump until he saw my class standing on the other side of the bridge. He jumped over several cars and made it over the bridge before it collapsed. When he arrived He didn't put me down; he was just staring at me. My mouth was dry but I managed to mustered some courage to speak "Can you put me down?" I said as he stood there staring at me still holding me in his arms. "I'm, super boy" I smiled at him confused. He continued looking at me "um thank you but I really need you to put me down people are staring" I said. He looked at me then around at my class who was staring with their mouths open "oh OK" he set me down he looked embarrassed. I looked at him "thank you so much I would've been goner if it wasn't for you" I said and then his face was completely pink. "Yeah it was nothing" I smiled at him. "Well then, see you later" I turned around and he grabbed my arm. I turned back to look at him his head was down he gained some courage he looked up and smiled "I'm glad you're OK" he said, "I'm glad too" I said confused. He sounded like he was stuttering. I was a bit surprised I was not used to him being flustered. Whenever I am Robin he hardly shows any emotion besides anger but now that I was a civilian it I was seeing a softer side to him.
He put his face extremely close to mine. He squinted his eyes suspiciously "do I know you from somewhere" he asked. My whole face turned red and I blinked my eyes, "not that I know of I mean I've heard about you on the news but no we've never personally met" I tried to grab my arm away from him but it was nearly impossible he was the boy of steel "Um Superboy you're hurting me" I said "oh" he drops my arm and I began to walk away when he stopped me 'again' I said to myself rolling my eyes. He looked at me closer "hey can I have your name" I looked at him and smiled "um sure, I guess" I said "its" I heard my teacher calling me I turn back around I was relived it gave me time to escape. "Hey" he called me I turn back around but this time I didn't know what he wanted but I knew it was important "yes" I said looking at him, he looked at me with a deep stare and said "I like, I like your eyes" I blushed. "thank you, I guess I'll see you around" I said with a smile on my face he smiled back really big "sure I'll see you around" and I ran back to my class, thinking to myself that I never would get a chance like that when I was robin. I actually got to talk to him and look him in the eyes, 'too bad we will never meet again when I'm Richard Grayson it's such a pity.
I ran back to my class two girls had watch what had just happened. "Oh dick you always have the best luck" one of the girls said. the second girl looked at Superboy "oh I wish I could be saved by the big hot guy" deep down inside I was laughing, but I couldn't say the same thing. I looked at him and he smiled back to me with a red face "yeah he sure is a great guy" I said my face is kind of red
Mount justice
the next day I went to Mount justice where Wally and I played video games. "dude I feel sorry for you but seriously that actually happened" wally said as he stuffed his face with cheese puffs. "Yeah he actually saved me when I was just Richard Grayson" I grabbed some chips as well. Wally laughed hard "that's great did he recognize you" wally said curiously. "no" I scoffed "I masked my voice and also I mean he never seen me with my hair Slick back and my nerdy self". Wally laughed so hard he chocked. I patted him on the back "well how does it feel to be saved by your crush", I smacked Wally's head "hey don't make fun, I just wish him and I can talk that much when I'm Robin" wally looked at me with pity one thing I hated about him "hey bro it's OK not like you guys will ever meet again when you're the under cover you".
I looked at wally "I guess your right" We didn't notice Superboy walking from down the hall. "Speak of the devil" Wally said and I elbowed him "hey Superboy" he smiled at me, I was glad that my glasses shaded my face because I was completely red because of our encounter before. "Hey Robin" he said to me. Wally looked at him "what about my hello" Wally said Superboy gave wally a cold nod then look back at me "hey Robin I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie on Friday" was he seriously asking me out. "oh" I said looking at him confused "this Friday" Superboy spoke. He couldn't be serious I thought "yeah" he said. I told myself I have to lie "well I wouldn't be able to this Friday I have to go to Gotham" I smiled at him "But maybe we can do something this weekend" Superboy smiled and said "ok" I walked away "hey Superboy" Wally said Superboy stared at Wally "what do you want" Superboy growled "hey don't get mad at me it's not my fault" he said "It's not my fault he doesn't have time. the fact that you like him should be obvious but I don't know why he's being so slow about this" Superboy blushed I don't know what you mean" wally rolled his eyes "OK" he said to Superboy. Superboy looked at Wally again "Um, can I ask you something" Wally looked back at Superboy with his mouth full of food "what did you want to ask me" Superboy turned pink and put his head down "Well yesterday I save somebody", that sentence caught Wally's attention. Wally new what was about to happen he laughed on the inside "oh OK and what's the importance of this" Wally's said trying to contain his laughter.
"It's just when I saved the boy I got kind of nervous because to be honest I thought he was really cute" Wally laughed and patted Superboy shoulder "so you met somebody and you like them did you get their name or their number" Wally said smiling Superboy looked at Wally "no I didn't get a chance to" Wally smirked and had a wonderful idea "you know did you see what school they were from" Superboy shook his head and said he recognize the school uniform he described it to Wally. Wally said "oh yeah I know where that is" Superboy looks at Wally and cocked his eyebrow he looked real confused "Wally what are you thinking" Superboy asked "Well... Super boy" wally said with a smile "I have a plan you want to see this person again right, why don't you just go to their school and look for them" Superboy smiled with a surprise face "I'm surprised I didn't think of that" wally looked at him and smile and laugh "yeah I'm full of surprises anyway go to that for school and look for him and then asked him out and see if he says yes" Superboy hug Wally "thank you' wally patted him "oh just one more thing how do you think Robin would feel about that" wally smiled "I don't think he'll mind too much supey" wally said with a evil chuckle 'only looking out for my friend he thought to himself' "OK then I'm going to do it, I'm going to go ask him out" Superboy said he smiling ear to ear. "Make sure you look you're best, here Ill helped you pick out an outfit" wally stood up "thanks" Wally smile "no problem" Superboy and wally left. They walked in the hallway into Superboy room.
