Too Young To Save Them

Chapter 9

Red X's P.O.V (I have no idea if this is a one time thing or not, we'll have to see.)

Warning: Contains some really high amounts of fluff.

Disclaimer: I don't own DC sadly enough, if I did, Red X and Robin would be doing double dates with Aqualad and Speedy.

By the time we were home, Robin had fallen asleep in my arms, guilt and sadness filled me as I walked into the house, happy to see that no one else was home I carried the wet bird to his room. I had never actually been in the room before, so I was more then shocked when I came in to see... no booby traps? Huh, I had expected a bunch of guns or flamethrowers or something like that. I looked around the room and sighed as I realized there was no bed in here except for a hammock that hung high into the ceiling, a place that only an acrobat such as Robin could reach without a ladder. I questioned where to place the child as he rapped his tiny arms around my taiust in his sleep, oh how I loved him, but now that I knew that he was only thirteen I knew it would never work for us, I doubt that he would want to date a seventeen year old. I ended up just walking to his closet and pulling out an overly large pull over hoodie with the bat symbol on the front. I slowly pulled his shirt and tights off, he really was tiny alright, but he looked quite feminin in my opinion.

I quickly pulled the hoodie over his head and held in a laugh, he looked a lot younger when he was asleep and overly large clothes, I paused as I looked at his mask, should I actually take it off him or... why not? I quickly ripped the mask of and starred at the closed eyes curiously, I had no idea what color they even were. (The whole team was betting at this point of knowing the assassin, I still think there brown, but I had no idea.) I jumped back as Robin's eyes snapped open, I starred into his baby blue eyes that seemed to sparkle, he looked ready to run again until I snatched his arm.

"I'm sorry, please don't hit me again!" Robin pleaded, I felt guilt slap my insides as he looked terrified, how could I have hurt the most unhurting, youngest, and most depressed team member of our team? "I won't, I swear on it." I whispered softly, bats had resently sent me a shit ton of information on Robin, I hadn't read it all, but I did know that yelling freaked this kid the fuck out.

Robin looked at me carefully before showing me an all too familiar grin, a grin that seemed much more of a cover for whatever was going on, but a grin none the less. "So... Welcome to my room." Robin said with amusement in his tone, but I knew him too well by now, which did warn me if something was up but it also ment I knew when to talk to him about certain subjects. "Well, I hope you like it, I kind of geek out in here decoration wise." I smiled at Robin, how he hadn't realized his mask was off was beyond me, but it seems that he suddenly realized it after two minutes of talking.

"So yeah, Iron Man is so- um, Red X?" Robin asked worryingly. "WHERES MY MASK, OH SHIT, DID ANYONE SEE ME, SHIT SHIT SHIT!" Robin screamed as he ran around the room in circles. "Oh lord, if Bats finds out... OH GOD NO!"

"Calm down yeah dork." I said nonchalantly as a way of showing that it was no big deal. "I took it off you after I got you dressed when we came home, you totally passed out after your panic attack." I jerked back as Robin grabbed my shirt and started to shake me back and forth with way to much ease for a thirteen year old preteen.

"You. Do. Not. Under. Stand." Robin whisper/wimmpered into my face as I saw pure fear dance across his face. "Do you know what Bats will do to you if he finds out that you saw my eyes? He'll MURDER YOU!"

I stared at Robin in fear, I really had no idea if bird boy was kidding or not. "I'm sure it'll be fine, we'll just never tell hi-"

"NO, now due to the fact that you've seen my eyes that makes it so at least two people on this team have seen my eyes, and if Bat ever found out, well, lets just say that you'll never haveto worry about walking or breathing ever again." Robin said fearfully.

"Wait wait wait! Somene ELSE has seen your eyes, who?" I asked as Robin started to calm down.

"Well, two months ago I was in the shower and had been in there for three straught hours, so BB had no idea I was even in there when he ran through the house looking for a bathroom after drinking to much soda, again. Anyways, he dove into the bathroom I ws in without knocking... and I'm sure your mind already has the answer. He came in and saw my eyes, he agreed to never tell anyone thankfully, so I only thought that between us it would be safe, but as more people find out... well, I just don't want Bats to kill you guys."

"Aww, I'm touched baby bat." I said as I wrapped an arm around his waist.

"Never call me that again." Robin groweled as he gave me an all out bat glare that by now was not as scary to me. (Unless he was being vcery serious or if it was Bats who used it.)

We laughed as I ruffled his hair once again, sometimes it seems that everything changes before your eyes in a way that takes a while to realize. But as I looked into Robins baby blues, I knew one thing for sure. I loved him. I scooped the child up bridal style as I ran down the stairs.

"Where are we going?" Robin asked.

"Were going to buy icecream!" I screamed.

"In the rain?" Robin injuired.

"..."

"Were going to the store to buy ice cream and then watch pokemon ALL NIGHT LONG. And its the Kanto season so don't worry." I said as I charged out into the rain, laughing all the way.

A/N: So heres some RedXRobin fluff, I know that its cheesy but I figured Red X would do something like that. But thanks once again and please review, even if your a guest!
