There Nothing to Fear but, Fear Itself
I was ready, when Robin called,
"Alright Sparrow, come out." I opened the door and walked out. My costume with Robin's almost looked a like but, you could see the differences between them. I was thin, tall, straight haired brunette, a way longer cape than him and no one could guess who I was. I answered back,
"So, what think?"
"I think your missing something." Robin stepped forward and gives me a belt. It was the same belt as his but inside I picked insatiate of Robin Rangs of the R shape they were a cool S shape. They looked like the Greek S like pointy but they were also curved at the bottom and top. And I threw it at a target far, far away and the bull's eye dead center. "Now, you're complete." His belt was a little too big. It connected to my left hip diagonally to my right. It was perfect. I was complete. I looked at Robin; a voice grabbed my shoulders from behind.
"Congratulations, Sparrow." I heard a deep voice releasing into the empty space of nothing; my eyes shut with fear. Open my eyes fast and wide then spun around grabbing my weapons at mid filet and throwing them at the mystery voice. My Sparrow Rangs caught the voice. I walked slowly and carefully. Oh no… yes you guessed it was poor Batman trapped on the wall by Sparrow Rangs.
"Bats she is a little jumpy when you do that,"
"So I see." Batman cutting off Robin and finishing the sentence.
"I am so sorry!" I was so scared and so upset that I trapped him.
"It's alright, I should have seen that coming."
"Robin help me get him down." Robin and I ran to Batman pulled every Sparrow Rang down. When he is finally down Batman says,
"You were quicker than what I thought."
"I think I was a little too fast that I hang you up on the wall like coat." Robin butting again finally spoke his words,
"You have reflexes like a cat. I say that is cool." After he said what he need too. I ignored him and I quickly said,
"Thanks, Robin but Batman I am so very sorry."
"No problem, it was my fault. I forgot you were new and didn't no who grabbed you. It's normal."
"Really?" I was confused and curious.
"Yes, come on. We have to patrol tonight, Sparrow you ride with Robin on the Robin Cycle until then you ride with Robin." Great.
We ran to are vehicles and hopped on or in. Batman hopped in the Batmobile the same one I was in about six weeks ago and drove off. I grabbed a Sparrow helmet that Robin made for me; pure black, my little symbol on it and the cover shield yellow. Robin and I hopped on the Robin Cycle. I grabbed Robin around his stomach; my arms wrapping around him. I held on tight.
"Ready?" Robin making sure I was on and no problems were going on.
"Yeah, go ahead." My worst fears coming to life as he started that engine, I started shaking. He turned off the engine when he noticed when I was shaking and he turned to me and asked,
"Are you okay, Sparrow?"
"Ye-ah, no. I am scared." I was scared I always feared motorcycles, roller costars, snakes and somewhat of dark. I was shaking so bad. I find my face in fear and he lifted my head gently so he could look me straight in eyes. I found out after a while he had my face cupped in his hands.
"Well, I make you a deal." He responded back to my fear.
"What kind of deal?" I whispered.
"Taking it slow deal. We go slowly then we get a little faster and faster each time. How about that?" I thought about it for a minute. "So, what a say?" I paused I was nervous and scared at the same time. I finally spoke the little strength I had,
"That sounds like a good idea."
"Alright, hold on to me tight." Then I held on to him with my courage and pride that I had left. My arms tightly wrapped around him one again and I am ready to take off. "Ready?" He looks at me and I say,
"I am now." And start to smile and he grins at me. Looks back in front,
"Well, then I guess were off?"
He started the engine. The beast started to awake from beneath us. Roaring aloud; misty smoke started to appear. Wheels turning and we rode off. Then we exited out of the Batcave and riding in a pipe.
"Robin, do you do this every night?"
"Fight crime? Yes, I fight every night that I can."
"So have long you known the Batman?" I ask sarcastically. They act like father and son.
"For a while now, meaning about five years."
"Good to know. How long did you know me?" He was in a small pause then answered,
"For a long time, I was curious about you but never dared to enter you or unlock your inner secrets. You're a very mysterious character, Sparrow. You always sat by yourself in lunch near the windows, day dreaming about freedom and being outside. Sometimes, you still do that just by the way your eyes looked at the clear, open window. The way your eyes just shined for freedom and for a better place for Gotham and when I found that same girl that fought against the Joker by herself and recovering in my bed. I knew it was the same girl who wanted to make a difference in the world and not just in Gotham."
Then I noticed we have being going faster and faster now we were at sixty.
"Robin! I, I am not afraid anymore." He stopped that Robin Cycle on a dime turned to me.
"Sparrow, that's great!" Hugging me to death, losing my breath because he was way too tight but, I don't care.
