Chapter 1: The Accident

Stephanie's POV

"Steph, you're injured, you could have gotten yourself killed!" Tim yelled at me, is nice to think of him as Tim and not just Robin.

"I'm fine. I didn't get killed, so relax Tim, I'll be fine, it's just a broken leg" I try to calm him down.

"I just don't want you to get hurt because of me" he looks at the ground.

"It wasn't your fault" I say tenderly.

"Yes, it was. His my enemy, not yours, you got hurt because he was after me and you tried to defend me" he closes his hand in a fist.

"Exactly, I tried to defend you, it was my fault, not yours" I get up and kiss him softly.

"But Steph…maybe…" he chokes.

"Maybe nothing, just please let me get some rest, I'm tired"

"Ok, sleep tight" he kisses me in the forehead and leaves the room.

He feels bad, but it isn't his fault.

I know what he was about to say, he doesn't want to be Robin anymore, he's afraid that if he keeps on being The Boy Wonder, I'm gonna get hurt again.

I probably will, but I don't mind, he's done too much good to give up now.

People need him, Gotham needs him, Batman needs him.

Of course I need him too, but the city and it's citizens come first, they have to, if they didn't then heroes wouldn't have any purpose.

I can't let him give up, he loves being Robin and everyone loves it too. The civilians can't lose their Boy Wonder, their favorite sidekick, my favorite sidekick.

I sigh at this tough, it would be awful to lose him as Robin, it's not like Batman wouldn't make it on his own, but they're the Dynamic Duo, the best team ever made.

Life just wouldn't be the same to the city, to Batman, to me, without the Dynamic Duo.

I mean, it wouldn't be over, there has been other Robins, like Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. Batman can easily find a replacement but that would hurt Tim and I don't want to see him get hurt.

Besides, he's one of the best Robins until now.

If it was me I wouldn't give up and if I even thought of that he would never let me give up.

What are you thinking Steph?

He isn't giving up on what he loves, on being Robin, not on my watch.

He'll always be Robin, at least, for me he will.

Tim's POV

She doesn't get it.

She'll get hurt, she might die.

I have to quit, it's the best for her, for us.

Especially now that she knows my secret identity, she's more involved than ever.

It's getting more and more dangerous for her to be with me.

I don't want to be the reason she can't have a normal and (most importantly) safe life.

I know she knew right from the beginning this wasn't gonna be easy or simple and that it was dangerous to be with me.

Anyhow she was already involved in this life by being The Cluemaster's daughter, so…

Why wouldn't I ask her to date me? I love her.

Gosh, you're so selfish, you're only thinking of your happiness, what about hers? Do you even know if she's happy? She might be feeling awful with the chance that you might kill her father even if Batman has a strict rule against killing.

Stop Tim, she is happy, I love her and she loves you.

She by herself has tried to stop her father countless times and you don't kill people, you're a sidekick, not a murderer.

If she wanted out of all this she'd done it a long time ago, she isn't shy and she takes good care of herself, if this was bad for her, she wouldn't be here by now.

Still, maybe it would be better if she left this life…

If I left this life…

Perhaps it's time for Batman to find another Robin.

Yes, I have to quit, it's for the best. We'll both quit this life and life a normal, simple life together.

I'll train the next Robin, I won't leave Batman alone, it'll be like I didn't left.

Stephanie's POV

Well, I guess maybe he could give up and have more time to me and we could be normal.

Oh, shut up Stephanie, you love him and you want him to be happy, Robin makes him happy. You won't take that away from him, we've discussed this already. Robin's staying.

Yes, I just can't think about this anymore or I'll start to second guess myself and I always make better decisions when I don't second guess them.

Besides, we kind of fight crime together…sometimes…sort of…

What am I doing? I need to get some fresh air.

I reach the phone and dial Tim's number.

"Hey, it's Tim"

"Hey, listen. Could you pick me up? I'm tired of spending all day just laying in bed and doing nothing…" I ask.

"Of course my darling, I'll be there in ten minutes" he teases me, he knows I'm not very fond of caring nicknames but he does it anyway, he also knows I can't get mad at him.

"Thank you, see you" I finish.

I hung up and lay down again.
