Anyone's P.O.V
RobynWings logs on.
GhostGirl logs on.
RobynWings: Can you hear me now?
GhostGirl: Well...figuratively speaking, Yes, I can.
FoxKit logs on.
FoxKit: Sorry I'm late. What did I miss?
RobynWings: Oh...nothing much, really. I'm just getting my voice back.
FoxKit: You're...Robyn, that's great! How's it coming?
RobynWings: So far, only Dick can hear me. He doesn't have to strain as much as he used to though, to be fair, it's been a few days since I started getting it back. By the way, speech exercises...Meh. Had enough of those for today. Though I loved the look on Dick's face when I said "Hi" in Romany...Total eye smile and...It was just so awesome. Where's Tim?
RobinThree logs on.
RobinThree: Miss me...Robyn you're...
RobynWings: I know! Isn't it awesome?
RobinThree: Definitely is. Song should show up...
SonginRed logs on.
SonginRed: Right here...with a grin on my face no one's going to be able to wipe off no matter how hard they try because it's for your news, Robyn. Seriously, I just had my day MADE. Week even.
RobynWings: You think I don't feel that way?
FoxKit: Girl, you're entitled to feel that way more than all of us combined. No doubt about that.
SpeedForcer: ...Robyn, that IS awesome. Very much so.
KnightWing logs on.
KnightWing: I'm smiling so hard my face hurts.*
SpeedForcer: Dang, Dick, that sounds like something Bruce would say.
RobynWings: Yeah, seriously. Who are you and what have you done to my guardian?
GhostGirl: Relax your face, Dad, relax your face.
KnightWing: *frowns angrily* Balloon poppers.
SonginRed: They didn't do a good job of that as Bruce would.
GhostGirl: You like living on the edge, don't you?
SonginRed: Don't tell me you've never been on a rooftop before.
GhostGirl: In Gotham, no. In Bludhaven, yes. Though you probably knew that already.
KnightWing: I'be been on a rooftop in Gotham and Bludhaven.
GhostGirl: Way to rub it in Dad. *sniffles* That was meeean.
KnightWing: I didn't intend for it to be. I swear.
RobynWings: Almost all the rooftops I've ever been on were those of foster homes. All of them but one actually. Not very hard to guess which rooftop's the different one, is it guys? Then again, for me, being on one is a completely different experience for two reasons.
RobinThree: I take it those reasons are your right and left wing?
RobynWings: Precisely. Not like I'm rubbing them in your face or anything.
RobinThree: What's it like having wings, anyway? I've been wondering.
RobynWings: Still can't think of the right word. In English or Romany. And, believe me, I've tried as hard as I can.
KnightWing: Well...nobody said that you had to think of the right word.
RobynWings: Actually, Tim kind of did. And he's not nobody.
RobinThree: *smiles* I'm really glad you think that.
GhostGirl: It's something that I think too.
KnightWing: Sorry about that Tim.
RobinThree: No big deal. Just don't do that again.
RobynWings: You know, I've been wondering something too. Who was the second Robin? I know Dick was the first.
KnightWing: We don't really talk about him.
GhostGirl: Yeah, even I don't know who he is. I quickly learned it was better not to ask.
RobynWings: Then I'll drop the issue. I feel like I should. And I've always seemed to have good instincts. Well, almost always.
KnightWing: Are you beating yourself up again?
RobinThree: Again? Robyn, you know you never did anything wrong, right?
RobynWings: I seem to forget that sometimes but, yeah, I know I didn't. I mean, with Memorial Day coming up...I feel a little worried about my P.T.S.D. and the memory behind it. That I know I couldn't bear going to my pack's...you know. I haven't seen the ones for my parents either. Couldn't bring myself to. I don't think it's ever going to be something I can do. For my parents or pack. I just can't do it.
KnightWing: How come you didn't tell me you've never seen them?
RobynWings: Because I wasn't really sure how. Wasn't really sure how you'd take it. I didn't want to hurt you in a way that I'm fairly certain everyone here knows is one which never heals completely. One you'll have all your life.
Everyone (except RobynWings): I'm sorry you feel that way, Robyn.
RobynWings: Yeah...but I can tell that you all mean it. That you understand, in one way or another, exactly what I'm talking about. Those two things say a couple thing I really like knowing. That you care and really like me. Wings and all.
SpeedForcer: Aww. I'm deeply moved. These feelings...They just hit me right *here*, you know?
RobynWings: Now you sound like Ben. Seriously, I half expect him to ruffle my hair or something. I...want to talk to all of you about my pack. Will, as you know, looked a LOT like Wally. Sam...He could always make me laugh. Kelly...She was big on writing poetry. Had a gift for it unlike any you've ever seen. Whenever I was with them...It was like all my troubles weren't there. I feel that way with you guys know. It's like, in a way, you're my new pack. I don't think they'd mind me using that word. I know they'd be happy for me. Happy that I've found new friends and family. I sure am. It's my favorite thing to know.
LuckyOracle logs on.
LuckyOracle: Sorry I got here...Robyn, you really feel that way?
RobynWings: *nods* And you're part of the family. My family.
RobinThree: I need a tissue...
RobynWings: Guess it's my turn to feel moved. I just made a Robin cry. Actually...Should I feel guilty for doing that?
RobinThree: No, I'll be fine. It's not *that* kind of tears.
KnightWing: Oh, you're a *brave* boy. I mean that in the best way possible.
RobinThree: Boy wonder, thank you.**
KnightWing: What makes you think I don't know that?
SonginRed: He knows that probably better than anyone.
GhostGirl: You don't say! I mean, Geez, you've known him for HOW long now? Granted, you don't know him as well as I do.
LuckyOracle: I know him better than ALL of you.
SpeedForcer: No way!
KnightWing: Well...of COURSE she knows me.
GhostGirl: Yeah, it's not like she married you or anything.
RobinThree: Seriously, Hope, what ARE you talking about?
LuckyOracle: Alright, that's enough.
GhostGirl: Yes, Mother.
RobynWings: Am I the only one who's laughing? On that note, I think I'll call it a night.
RobynWings logs off.
KnightWing: You are getting sleepy...Sleeepy...
RobinThree: You're a hypnotist too? The Aaamazing Grayson.
GhostGirl: Nah, he's just hoping I'll get the hint.
FoxKit: Don't know if you got it but I did. Good Night.
FoxKit and SpeedForcer log off.
SonginRed: I got the hint too. Though, to be fair, I was going to get some sleep anyway.
SonginRed logs off.
RobinThree: Yeah, I think I'll catch some winks too.
RobinThree logs off.
GhostGirl: I'm not sleepy. Really, I'm not.
KnightWing: Yes, you are. I can hear you yawning.
GhostGirl: Got me again, Dad. Might as well turn myself in while I still can.
GhostGirl logs off.
LuckyOracle: That was subtle, Dick.
KnightWing: Who, me, subtle? No way.
LuckyOracle: Not like I'd have you any other way.
KnightWing and LuckyOracle log off.
Robyn's P.O.V
Can't really seem to fall asleep. But, when I do, I get something that's become just a little more frequent lately.
No nightmares.
I really like having that.
*I'm not completely sure this line is mine.
**Loved writing that line.
