Chapter 20: Thoughts
September 3, 2010; Friday; 8:24 p.m.
Wayne Manor
Richard parked his R-cycle in the garage. It had been a magnificent day with Kori, as usual. He sighed as he went up the stairs to his bedroom and change into Robin to go patrolling.
Curiosity took over him as he entered the Batcave, does Kori know about Robin? He recalled all of the interesting conversations he had with her. Surprisingly, no. She hasn't mentioned Robin in any of his talks with her.
A normal girl, except for Karen and Rachel, would have at least talked about Robin the Boy Wonder at least once. Yes, Rachel and Karen talked about Robin, but that was when they talked about how he stopped a robbery and stories like that.
"Batman, I'm going to patrol," Richard announced on the intercom as he took his other R-cycle in the Batcave and sped off in to the streets.
He climbed up to one of the roofs and scanned the city. No trouble. Yet.
Richard used this quiet time to himself to think. About 99.9 percent of Gotham's girls are 'in love' with Robin. All of the girls wished to be saved by him. In school he would hear all the preps and cheerleaders talk about how Robin was so good looking, brave, and mysterious. But at the same time, talking about how Richard Grayson is hot, rich, and single.
Robin was just as famous as Richard Grayson.
"Ahh!" he heard a woman scream a few alleys away.
He immediately turned to hero mode and followed the scream.
There was a woman with a torn up trench coat, whimpering and shaking in a corner. Her blonde hair was messy and had a few patches of dirt. There was a man in front of her, he had his hand clenched in a fist, ready to strike the woman.
"How dare you cheated on me?" the man bellowed. "You whore!"
"I didn't!" the woman screamed. "I swear I didn't! He was just an old friend, nothing more! He just kissed me on the cheek!"
"You!" Robin jumped down from the roof using his grappling hook. "Freeze! Leave this woman alone!" He had his fighting stance on.
"Listen, kid, this ain't your business. S'only between me and my wife, 'kay?" the man sneered.
"Well, this is no way to treat a wife," Robin commented. He already contacted the police, he was just buying some time.
"Well she ain't my wife no more," he growled and launched an attack to her, fists raised.
The woman shrieked in fright.
Robin held his bo-staff high with two arms to stop his arm. Then, he hit his staff on the man's head, nicking him unconscious.
He exhaled loudly and went to cuff the man's hands. Then he turned around and asked the woman softly, "You okay, m'am?"
The woman swallowed and nodded. "Yes, thank you, Robin. I-I swear I w-wasn't c-cheating on h-him," she broke down and cried.
"It's okay, m'am," he heard the sirens come. "The police will be here any second. He's not gonna hurt you anymore." He looked at the woman's husband, knocked out on the dirty ground.
The Chief came out of the police car and went to the woman and Robin.
A policeman picked the woman up gently and wrapped a blanket on her while another policeman heaved the man in the police car.
"You did it again, Robin," the Chief said. "Thanks for helping that woman out. We don't know what to do without you."
"Just doing my duty, Chief. And you know that you don't need to thank me." Robin took out his grappling hook and climbed on top of the roof. He stayed on the roofs, scanning the city for troubles for a couple of hours.
It was midnight and his shift was over.
Batman only made him do patrols on Friday and Saturday nights. The only exceptions were if he needed help, an emergency, or he couldn't go patrolling on a night.
Robin parked his 'real R-cycle' in the Batcave and went up to his bedroom. He took of his uniform and changed into his pajamas.
Tomorrow was Kori's 'Welcome to Gotham' party and her initiation. He was actually excited, no doubt they were going to have fun. He'd have to wake up extra early to set up the pool and the food. He'll ask Alfred to bake her a welcome pie.
Yup, it was going to be a great day tomorrow.
12:15 a.m.
Anders' Condo
Kori sat up from her bed and floated to her balcony. She gazed over at the city lights of downtown. There were different colors. Yellow. Green. Red. Blue. She sighed. There were never things like these in her planet.
Then she shifted her gaze to the moon. It was so bright and pale, it looks lonely. In Tamaran, they had six moons. Kori felt a little sadness towards the lone moon. But, at least, it was accompanied by stars. There were no stars in Tamaran.
She chuckled quietly to herself. She always liked to compare things from Earth and Tamaran. How there were trees here, but none there. How there were buildings here, but towers of palaces there.
She couldn't sleep at all. She was so excited to have new friends. And she couldn't sleep because of a particular person.
Richard.
Just thinking about his name set butterflies in her stomach. Kori had never felt this feeling before, it made her want to . . . fly. Was it just a crush? It seems to be more than that . . . maybe, love?
Kori wasn't sure about that. Love. There was no word for love in Tamaranian. Love? But she only met him barely a week ago. Perhaps, just a crush . . . a huge liking to. She convinced herself that it was just a big crush.
Then she thought of Babs. How could she do that to him? Richard is a wonderful person and . . . he didn't deserve it.
Kori sighed and went inside and took her guitar from the corner. She sat on the floor of her balcony, leaning her back against the doorframe separating her bedroom. There was a tune on the guitar and she began to sing what she was feeling:
I came apart inside a world,
Made of angry people.
I found a boy who had a dream,
Making everyone smile.
He was sunshine.
I fell over my feet,
Like bricks underwater.
Her fingers strummed against the strings of her guitar.
And how am I supposed to tell you how I feel?
I need oxygen.
Oh baby, if I was your lady,
I would make you happy.
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave.
Oh baby, I will be your lady,
I am going crazy for you.
She smiled as she thought of Richard.
And so I found a state of mind,
Where I could be speechless.
I had to try it for a while,
To figure out this feeling.
This felt so right,
Pull me upside down to a place,
Where you've been waiting.
And how am I supposed to tell you how I feel?
I need oxygen.
Oh baby, if I was your lady,
I would make you happy.
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave.
Oh baby, I will be your lady,
I am going crazy for you.
And you don't want to keep me waiting,
Staring at my fingers, feeling like a fool.
She stared at her fingers as she plucked the guitar strings.
Oh baby, I will be your lady,
I will make you happy.
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave.
Oh baby, I will be your lady,
I am going crazy. Yeah, oh, oh, oh.
Tell me what you want,
Baby, tell me what you need.
Anything I ask, baby, give it to me.
Baby, give it to me, give it to me.
She gave another contented smile.
I came apart inside a world,
Made of angry people.
I found a boy who had a dream,
Making everyone smile.
She ended her song with a strum and sighed, "Oh, Richard," she laughed quietly. "You don't know what you do to me."
She went back in her room and placed her guitar at the same corner, and then made her way to bed where she slept soundly.
Awww, ain't that sweet :D This song is Oxygen by Colbie Caillat. I love her! If you don't know the song, go to you tube and listen to it (if you like acoustic guitar songs.)
VERY SUPER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!: OKAY, so I was wondering what SUIT of Robin should I describe. Because I'll need it in a few chapters, SO . . . which Robin suit would you, readers, like?
1. Teen Titans TV Robin Costume, the Christmas colors XD
OR
2. Young Justice TV Robin Costume. If you don't know what that looks like, search for young justice Robin. It's red and black, you'll see what I mean once you search the picture :)
Pick a number when you review, so I can write it up! Personally, I like the Young Justice Robin Costume, BUT I would like to know what the readers want :D The majority that is. So PLEASE choose! Thank you! - MaestroLucario :D
