Okay, really short ficlet for CH 2, but this is Robin's funeral. Dick Grayson's will come later. D*: (sorry. Got a bit teary-eyed there.)
Anyways, this is a little bit of Batman's reaction to Robin's death, but Bruce Wayne's reaction will come later. For now, though, enjoy!
(Oh, and I own nothing. No duhr. If I did, Artie and KF would already be dating, and Superman would have accepted his son. gr... mad at that Boyscout right now...)
Word easily spread throughout the country. Reporters and photographers were all being paid big just to get a picture of Batman. But, of course, no one saw the Dark Knight. But, pictures of the other heroes grieving were common- Flash hugging Kid Flash while the teen bawled his eyes out, the Green Lanterns both snapping at reporters, furious of their 'betrayal of Batman's privacy', and even Superboy- well, he wasn't crying. He was beyond that stage. But, reporters got a few pictures of Superman restraining him from beating the photographers to death.
Three days passed, and there was still no word from Batman.
Finally, messages were sent out to all of the Leaguers- invitations to Robin's, the Boy Wonder's, funeral.
The funeral was small, the only people there the Leaguers (and Alfred). Robin's body was not buried, to some of the heroes' surprise, but his cape was put in a coffin- a coffin.
The mere word made Batman want to puke his guts out.
His son was going to be placed in a coffin.
The canary yellow side up, Robin's cape was placed in the- the box- and his mask on top of that. Even his belt, with his tools and all, was placed inside the box. Then, the lid was placed on, and Superman, Flash, Green Arrow, and Batman lowered the box into the ground.
J'onn telepathically moved the dirt to cover the co- coffin...
Then, it was all over.
Everyone went home.
Yeah. Short n'- well, not really sweet...
Oh, well!
The faster you review, the faster you get a glimpse of Superboy's reaction to Robin's death!
