I was listening to "Come Home" by OneRepublic ft. Sara Bareilles and I read poetry talking about snow. Then this came up. Enjoy.


Robin. The snow's back.

Remember when we had our first Christmas as a team?

Remember when you tried to hit me with a snowball, but I used my powers to block it?

Remember when I got you back for that attempt?

Robin. The snow's as cold as ever.

Remember when the snowflakes fell onto my hands?

Remember when you had said how serene it looked?

Robin. The snow's falling onto my head. Do I still look serene?

Robin. The team's still hanging in there without you.

But I can't.

Robin. Cyborg's the new leader now, we've stopped crime as always.

But it's not the same without you.

Remember when you promised us that we'd all be together?

Remember when you promised that no one is going to be left behind?

Remember when you promised me that you wouldn't leave me behind?

Robin. The snow's thick. It's covering me.

Robin. These aren't tears. The snow's just leaving water on my face.

Remember when I had to save you from the ghost Slade?

Remember when you were so adamant that he was still alive?

Robin. It's ok. We stopped it. You don't have to worry about the hallucinations anymore.

But it's not like you have to worry about anything anymore.

I still have those flowers you had given me.

I still remember when we had been together.

I still remember how you had asked me out.

I still remember Cyborg's and Beast Boy's goofy grins and Starfire's encouraging smile.

I still remember our first date.

I still remember how you had tricked me into thinking those flowers were for me.

I still remember when you gave me the chocolates and the blue dress on Valentine's Day.

I still remember how happy we were together.

So why did you have to go?

I still remember that seemingly normal day.

I still remember how we planned what we were going to do after we captured the criminals.

I still remember seeing the bomb. Your eyes shot wide and shoved me away.

I still remember the explosion that took your life.

I still remember hearing your last words… ("Stay strong. Be safe...")

I still remember the pain that enveloped me when I saw your body floating listlessly in the waters.

The pain crushed me. It amazes me that I'm still here right now.

I still remember the aftermath.

I still remember the sullen looks everyone else had.

The funeral was depressing. All the heroes came to wish you farewell.

It was my turn to say my final goodbyes to you.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't bear to actually let you go. I don't want to let you go.

I can't.

Robin, please.

Come home.


Yes, this is RobRae. I ship this couple hardcore even though it's not canon. So what. Sue me. I'll probably edit it when I have more ideas.
