Chapter 10 Stories and memories

Robin woke up back in his bed vaguely remembering coming into his room stretching he sat up looking at the time 8:45. IT was almost time to meet Sam in the training room but he still hesitated to get out, not only was his bed comfortably warm and the air was cold hinting the promised snow, +what weird weather we're having+. But also because he was worried about Sam, 'Maybe we shouldn't practice today. She seemed really upset.' But knowing Sam she'd want to practice to take her mind off of it. So Robin got dressed and started making his way too the training room, chewing on a granola bar he had gotten from his mini fridge, sat down and waited.

9 o'clock came and rolled away and Sam still didn't show. By the time 9:45 came he was at her door, knocking," Sam? You there? Are you coming to practice?" he didn't get a response. Slowly to give her a warning he slid the door open and was surprised to find her not there. "Sam?!" he looked around for some clue when his eyes fell on a note with his name on it. Picking it up it read

'Dear Robin,

Sorry, I really need to be alone. So I'm taking a day off and am staying in the city.

Sorry if you're mad if I missed breakfast but I'll be back by 10.

Sorry

Sam Richards Wayne?

Robin frowned a little bit then whispered to no one,"It's ok."

Sam definably didn't need attention today she dressed civilian, she didn't even bring her mask (Ok she did but it was in her backpack). Pulling on her worn green hat and huge jacket she stepped out into the cool morning air. The sun was still climbing the earths curve.

She joined the crowd, for the first time in a long time she didn't have people looking at her, talking behind there hands. And for some reason Sam liked it even more.

She stopped by her old home. It was still surrounded by Crime scene paper.

Sam stood in front of it. Hands in her pockets to keep warm. Where had they taken her mother? Was she ok? Would she ever see her again?
Then again, Sam had to remind herself Jonas wasn't really her mother. But she was the closest thing she ever had to one.

A cold wind blew in causing Sam to shiver, pulling the rim of her jacket around her mouth she moved away.

More things had happened to her in the past few days then to most heroes' in a year. So she had been told.

How was she supposed to think about her father? Was she supposed to hug him, crying about how much she missed him even though she didn't know he existed? Was she supposed to hate him for not trying to find her sooner even though he thought she was dead? Hate him for just coming in a expecting everything to be happily ever after, something she was told never existed in the 'real' world (lol)

Was she supposed to go with him?
This thought froze 'Sam in her tracks causing some people that had been behind her to crash Go with him? She had seen Gotham in pictures; it wasn't exactly 'family' quality. It was definably gothic. And muggy. Nothing like Jump City, with its sunny skies, fresh air and beautiful ocean.

"Heh? Sam?"
That voice, no way, Sam turned around and saw someone she never expected to see again," Green Arrow?"
"Heh, that's only with the quiver, I'm Oliver."
Honestly she couldn't see how the change of clothes made a difference but he still wore a mask. She smiled but it faded, he had to of known about the whole ordeal. After all, he was in the JLU with her father.

He must of noticed her smile faded cause he said," Hey you're not that upset to see me?"
"No. That's not it. Sorry. I'm just having a bad week."

"I kinda heard. "
"How do you-"
"Nothing's a secret in the satellite. So you're Bruce's kid?"

Sam bowed her head a little bit,

"Wow it's not that bad. "

"It's not that it's bad……….it's just not good either...I don't want to talk about it….it's kinda long….."

"Well I wont make you kiddo."

"It kinda started 2 months ago……"

"Well, Let's get a seat, I'll get coffee."

So they got a park bench and Sam started her tail

2 months ago

step into the magical time machine!!

Sam have not always lived in Jump City, or anywhere for that matter. Her mom and her always moved, only living somewhere 6 months at a time. It is only now she know why.

As soon as SAm moved to Jump City, she never wanted to leave. But her problems here were the same as everywhere else, everyone thought the girl with blue eyes was a freak. Maybe deep down they could tell she had powers…but that's when she met Robin

It was kind of odd how Sam met them, Robin to be more exact. She had been walking home from school, on a cold day like this, when she came across him busting a robbery in a alley, one guy was laying on the floor while the other was trying to run away. Sam could remember thinking he was gay, (the tight pants ARE kind of suspicious) and had no idea who he was ; the guy on the floor was getting up, taking out a gun, aiming it at Robin's back. She didn't want him to get hurt so I quickly shot the guy in the back with electricity.

Robin had heard the guy and looked over just in time to see her hands brimming with electricity. His eyes had widen and Sam was scared, what if he told some government group? She didn't know what else to do so, as she turned to start running but he caught her by the wrist.

Sam turned to face him, for the first time she saw his 'face' and she blushed. He was cute, and her resistance against him faded

His voice was quiet ,"YOU have powers?"
Too awestricken she just nodded, then fear. What did he want?
He must of noticed cause he said," It's ok. I'm not going to tell. My names Robin, I know a lot of people who are just like you."
Somehow Sam doubted that, hand tightening under his into a fist.

"No, it's alright. I'll prove it. Come with me."

Come with him? She wanted to bash his head into the wall and start running. she didn't trust to many people after what happened at the last city she lived in but something was different about him. Something about his voice, the way he smiled gently which should have been illegal for someone like him Sam couldn't help but nod.

After that Robin had taken her to Titans tower. He hadn't exactly been lying, there were other people like her, not with her powers. But powers all the same. At first she didn't talk at all ,being to nervous. Cyborg had walked up to her and looked her right in the eye, "What's your name Sparky?"

Sam just looked to the sides nervously and looked at her feet

"Um? Can you not talk? Um…you look like a Avrile or Shelby."

Beast Boy had joined, "Nah, she looks like a Lesley."
"You always say that. I think Sarah-"
Sam had finally raised her head, "I'-I-I-I'm Sam….my name's Sam."
Robin looked over at her and smiled, "I knew you had a name."
Sam could never quite get that smile out of her head, it stuck with her all the way home……she had thought it was through.

But Sam didn't expect to see him again, least of all after school. He explained that he had looked her up to find out where she was. It both flattered her AND creeped her out.

But when he offered for her to come back to the tower again, how could she refuse? It wasn't like she had such a full schedule. It continued like this. She never really helped out. Sure she'd phone them in if something came on.

It was only a month ago Robin offered for her to be a Titan. Sam never really expected it ,believe it or not it took her a week to decide yes.

But after she agreed, Starfire immediately drug her off to the mall, you know to help create a costume.

Sam didn't like Starfire's costume idea it was way too revealing so she made one herself.

And that's how it happened

Green Arrow leaned back on the park bench chair ,"So that's how you became a titan, eh kid?"

"Yup." She was still a little distracted.

"Hey, you know…..Batman isn't a bad guy. He can be stubborn, a little RUDE. But he's always done what he thought is right. And it mostly was. But I've never once seen him smile… well, not since Sarah."

"Sarah?!" Sam looked up at him, "You knew my mother?"
"Yup…..I remember when I first found out they were going out. I had stopped by the mansion to see if Bruce was ok, we had been on a mission and he had been wounded.

But instead of a grunt reply, I got laughter!! Alfred had let me in and I saw him sitting at a table. A woman with red hair was bandaging his arm. Bruce just looked over at me and SMILED. It wasn't one of his sarcastic 'I'm smarter then you and you know it' smiles, it was true. Honest. I still can't believe it. Bruce had changed after that. He was never seen without a smile. But I never saw much of him after that. He was busy spending time with his true love. He was at peace. Sarah just filled the hole in his heart. A light he needed.

I still remembered the day he found out Sarah was pregnant. He had been on a mission and when he go that phone call he ditched the mission and ran for his wife." Green Arrow chuckled, "Ryan certainly was a chubby little baby."

Sam smiled a little," I hear that a lot."
"Well he was. But he thinned out just fine. Anyway. They had always planned to have one child…….but 3 years later…your mother got pregnant again."

"So….I was a accident in the Wayne family?"

"A welcomed accident. Everything seemed fine…….but then Sarah was very ill. They never found out what it was. It was just 5 months after that she started going into labor…..and she was gone. You were to supposedly. But Bruce had never been so broken…. Everyone thought he would never come back…..but when he did…..he was never the same. I never saw that smile again."

Sam looked down sadly, all that her family went through….was because of her……?

"ANd I"m sorry about your mom...that Bruce got her sent to a mental asylum-"
"A what?!" Sam looked up at him, "where?!"
"a mental asylum Didn' you know-"

"I thought she was in jail!" SAm looked at her hands, 'why?! why did he do that? Jail was bad enough, but in a mental house when nothing was even wrong with her?!' Her thoughts were interrupted by a beeping sound. Looking over Green Arrow was pulling out his communicator. "Disturbance. In Algea city. Sorry kiddo gotta go-" he stood up and started walking

"Wait."

"Yeah?"
"Let me come."

"Huh?" he looked around Sam had stood up too. Face as confident as ever, "Let me come."
"You sure kid?"
"Yes……."
