Chapter 4
"Okay, in order: I called you Robin; no one sent me, you were sent here; and I know a lot about you, you're my favorite comic book character." The teen said as she calmly looked at the thirteen year old that was able to hold her against the wall. "By the way, my name's Reina."
"I can't believe it, Faust actually did it." Dick said as he slowly released Reina.
"You mean Felix Faust. This can't be good." Reina said instantly after hearing the villain's name.
"How much do you know about him?" Dick asked with some curiosity to his voice.
"Well, he did invade Paradise Island and freed the Greek God of the Underworld, Hades in Justice League, and he's pretty powerful from what I've read." Reina said without stopping.
"Okay, we need to talk about this in depth." Dick stated as he looked around.
"We can hang out and talk after school. Just stay hidden till I come back to this spot." Reina said as she adjusted her shirt so it didn't get wrinkled and grabbed her backpack that fell when she was swung into the wall.
"Don't worry about me; hiding is what I do best. You chose this spot for a reason, so it must have no traffic." Dick analyzed.
"You're not 'the world's greatest detective's' protégé for nothing. Since they moved the classes to the new annex, no one comes this way." Reina explained as she started to turn to head for her next class.
"Thanks for helping me, Reina." Dick said.
"Anything for my fav hero. See you soon." Reina said as she stopped for a moment and looked over her shoulder and gave a slight smirk. The sixteen year old girl then walked away. "Hope you don't mind waiting about three hours, if you want, you can watch the area."
"No problem, I need to get a good view anyway." Dick said then did some jumps and got on the roof to wait for his new ally, Reina to return.

It was lunchtime for the students and Reina was waiting in line with her friend, Kristi Copper, and they were talking.
"I can't wait for the new episodes of Young Justice to start, I just love watching Robin." Kristi said as she couldn't wait for Friday, and it was just Tuesday.
"I know, but you know we can't get into a fight over which of us likes Robin more." Reina said, and with saying his name, her thoughts wondered, and she hoped he was okay on the roof.
The two friends finally got to the serving area and their chatter stopped as they grabbed their trays. Once they sat down in their usual spot in the lunch room. Kristi looked at Reina and noticed her mind was wondering.
"Reina, are you okay, you haven't been the same since after 2nd block?" Kristi asked.
"Yes, I'm alright Kristi, just starting thinking about something, guess I got lost in my thoughts." Reina answered as she came to her senses.
"We have to hurry, lunch is over in like 15 minutes." Kristi remarked, and she returned to her lunch.
"Right." Reina said as she also returned to eating.
Soon after that, the bell rang, and the friends headed back to their 3rd block classes.

Robin kept a watch around the school and even watched after the bell rang, and saw all the student's switching classes. He scanned the crowd, and saw his new friend, and she was talking with someone; he assumed a good friend.
"Hope you stay safe, Reina." Robin said as he thought about Reina being the only one that could help him.

Two Hours Later
"You sure you want to walk home, it's kinda far." Kristi asked as she was about to get on the bus.
"Yea, I just need to think about some things, and walking home will give me the quiet I need. Tell mom I'll be a little late, and not to worry." Reina replied after her friend was in her assigned seat and rolled the window down.
"Okay, you're just lucky we live in the same neighborhood." Kristi said as she stuck her head out of the window.
Once the bus pulled off, Reina headed over to the abandoned part of the building. She made sure that no one was around, even though the area was basically deserted.
"Dick, it's alright, you can come down now." Reina said as she got to the same place she had talked to the boy wonder.
Out of nowhere Dick appeared behind her.
"Nice to see you again, Reina." Dick said, but Reina didn't even jump.
"You too, did you keep yourself occupied while I was gone." Reina joked.
"Usually I scare people when I do that, how did you not jump?" Dick asked as Reina turned around.
"Hello, I've seen every Batman show that you were in, I know how you and he work." Reina said. "So you ready to head home?"
"Yea, but how will you explain me to your parents?" Dick questioned as they started walking.
"I only have a mother, but actually, I think my mom will believe me. I've studied enough about your universe, and even watched every show I could. I even drive her crazy sometimes just by talking about it a lot." Reina said as they stepped past school grounds.
The walk home was uneventful, as Reina took some back ways that no one ever used. While they walked, the two talked, and Reina felt safe. They mostly talked about Dick's adventures as Robin, and how many shows there had been, and then Reina started talking about the different movies that have been made; like a bunch about Batman and Superman, even Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). Once they reached the two reached a certain road, Reina turned, and Dick followed her. They walked to the end of the street, and toward a medium sized house.
Just as they two walked up the sidewalk, Reina and Dick were met by a tall woman. Dick assumed she was Reina's mother. The woman walked right up to them.
"Reina, what are you doing walking home, and what are you doing bringing home a strange boy?" Her mother said as she got a stern look and then gave Dick the 'mom-glare'.
"Mom, this is Dick Grayson. Dick, this is my mom, Kathy Grayson." Reina said as she commenced with the introductions.
"Wait you have the same last name as me!" Dick said in excitement.
"Yes, Robin, but it's not uncommon to have 'Grayson' as a last name here." Reina stated as she looked at the teen.
"Reina, did you just call him 'Robin'?" Kathy said in shock at what she just heard her daughter call the boy.
"Yes, mom; this is 'the' Dick Grayson. He was sucked from his dimension to ours." Reina explained. She then noticed her mother had a questioning look on her face. "What, you don't believe me?"
"Well, actually, I can. With all the crap that happens on those DC Comics shows you watch, I can believe it." Kathy answered.
"He needs somewhere to stay till him or his team can find a way to get him home." Reina stated as she looked from Dick to her mother.
"Okay, he can use the guest room in the meantime. Reina will show you where it is." Kathy said as she didn't want to get into an argument over something she knew very little about.
"Come no, Dick." Reina said and with that, the two went off, and entered the house.
A couple of moments later, Reina showed Dick the guest room.
"My room is upstairs, and there's a computer room around the corner. Also, you're room has a bathroom in it." Reina explained.
"You really are a great person." Dick said as he sat on the bed.
"We'll talk in a bit, I have homework." Reina said and with that, she left Dick alone.
The teen hero looked around, and figured he should stay loose, just incase anything were to happen, so he stretched and when he was done, he decided to do some gymnastics that were meant for indoors. He started with a handstand, and kept doing it, and walked around the room.
Meanwhile upstairs, Reina was busy with Algebra, American History, and Biology homework. The Algebra was the worst, but the sixteen year old kept at it. Once Algebra was done, she went to her computer, and quickly dispatched of her other two subjects.
"Reina, honey, I'm off to work, are you going to be alright." Kathy hollered up the stairs.
"Sure mom; just going to hang out with Dick, maybe invite Kristi over." Reina shouted back.
"Alright, dear, see you in the morning before you leave for school." Kathy stated, and with that, she left.
Reina headed downstairs to see how Dick was settling in, and when she walked to the doorway of the guest room, she was surprised to see him doing inverted pushups.
"So, your mom left for work, want to start discussing things?" Dick asked.
"I've been thinking about it all day, since we met, we may need one more person to help us plan. I have a good friend, infact she lives in the neighborhood, and she's a DC universe fan like me. Think I could let her know about this." Reina stated, then asked.
"It must be the girl you were talking to during your class change after we met." Dick said, and he didn't get any surprised reaction from his new friend.
"As a matter of fact, it is, you were watching the crowd when we were switching to 4th block. Her name is Kristi Copper, and I usually practice my Taekwando with her once mom goes to work." Reina said as she gave a smile.
"What belt are you?" Dick questioned.
"Blue belt, and Kristi is a yellow belt, but I'm teaching her some of what I know. She's a bit of a 'fangirl' when it comes to you, just like me I guess, but she can also be serious when she needs to be." Reina said as she walked over to the phone. The teen picked it up and dialed a number. "Hey Kristi, you ready for that next lesson from me. Also, I need your help with a serious matter, I'll explain when you get here. Meet me at our usual spot."
With that, Reina hung up the phone and motioned for Dick to follow her.
"When does your mom get home?" Dick questioned as they walked out the front door.
"Not till about 6am, we have some time to train, then fix something up for you." Reina said, and with that they headed toward the woods that lay a bit from the house.
Kristi Copper === KK Copper
I asked KK if she wanted to be in the story because I remembered from the dream that someone else wanted to help Dick along with myself, so yea, thought I'd go with that.
