Hi.
How's your day been?
I will try to update as often as I can, but I'm really busy lately.
Anyway this time the team finds all about their little bird's scars. And he has a lot of them.
How will this go down?
You will find out as soon as I write this.
On random news my friends have finally managed to get me addicted to Supernatural.
It funny I have a maths competition tomorrow and I can't stop thinking about Dick being a mathalete.
I made up half his scars so sorry if i get some things wrong.
The song is called Batttle Scars by Lupe Fiasco, Guy Sebastian.
I don't own anything as much as I wish I did.
Warning :As title suggests scars.
Hope you enjoy.
Robyn out.
Scars
The wound heals but it never does
Thats cause you're at war with love
You're at war with love, yeah
These battle scars, dont look like theyre fading
Dont look like theyre ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle...
It was an unusually hot day at the cave and of course the air conditioning was broken. Kaldur and M'gann were suffering the most. Everyone was trying their hardest to stay cool, they all wore short sleeve tops and shorts on, they had ready eaten all the ice cream that they had and had been in the pool almost all day and they were still boiling.
Well almost everyone had short sleeves on, Robin still wore his usual sunglasses, jeans, top and jacket, hiding most of his skin.
Of course everyone was curious but they knew better than to question Robin.
Currently the whole team was relaxing outside on the beach as they had decided it was cooler out by the sea then in the Mountain.
Kaldur was standing in the water trying to keep cool, M'gann was sitting on the sea edge, dipping her feet in the waves under an umbrella. Conner sat next to her running his hands through the sand. Wally and Artemis were deeper out in the sea having a splash fight after Wally insulted her.
Robin was sitting with his back to the mountain watching his friends, wishing he could take off his jacket and dive into the water to cool down. He knew if he did his friends would be shocked by all the scars that littered his body.
"Hey Wonder Boy are you going to join us or just sulk, while you boil alive." Artemis shouted from the sea before Wally tripped her over. She fell over below the waves, she quickly jumped back up though and splashed the unsuspecting Wally in the face.
"Are you okay Robin? You sure you don't want to join us? The water is nice and cool!" M'gann asked concerned.
"I'm fine, just not that hot, you guys enjoy!" Robin shouted back with a fake grin on his face.
Out in the water, Artemis scoffed, how could anyone not be boiling in this heat?
Robin went back to his mental argument, he honestly did want to join them but he was unsure about their reaction.
He went back to his thoughts, thinking that the rest of the team was still playing around further down on the beach. He was right, mostly.
While he was thinking Artemis had sneaked up behind him. She quickly grabbed and lifted up the Boy Wonder, getting a gasp of shock from said boy.
He had been too busy thinking to pay attention. Robin desperately struggled to get out of Artemis' arms as he could guess what she was going to do. But as much as he struggled he couldn't escape as he was too tired and sweaty from the heat.
"Let go of me!" Robin screamed as he got closer to the water edge. "Don't you dare drop m- umghm!" Robin's voice was cut off by Artemis dropping him in the water.
He swiftly brought his head up out of the water, rubbing the salt out of his eyes and then turning to glare at the laughing archer.
"Artemis, that was irresponsible and mean, Robin said that he did not wish to join us in the water and you went against his wishes." Kaldur glared at her disapproving of her choice.
"Yeah Arty that's not nice, Rob didn't want to join us for his on reasons." Wally glared at the frowning green archer.
"Sorry Robin." She said feeling a little guilty before going back to splashing Wally.
"Robin, if you didn't want to be in the water in the first place why aren't you getting out?" Connor called from the sure with his head tilted to the side in confusion.
Said boy had been crouched down in the waist high water, so that it was up to his neck. Somehow he had managed to keep his sunglasses on.
"Emmm, I'm in now I may as well stay in." The Boy Wonder replied nervously trying to come up with an excuse.
"Is something wrong Robin? Are you hurt?" M'gann asked concerned.
"No, I'm fine Miss M." Robin replied with a grin.
"Oh no Wonder Boy, you're not getting out of it his time." Artemis stopped splashing Wally and crossed her arms.
"Hey dude are you sure you're okay?" Wally asked concerned for his friend.
"Yeah, I'm fine dude, there is nothing wrong with me." Robin protested, no one believed him and showed it in their facial expression. In a second Wally sprinted up behind his friend and lifted out of the water and onto the beach.
Robin's clothes were soaked and stuck to his skin, the sleeves had rolled back revealing lines all over them.
The team knew instantly what the lines were and briefly looked at each other before nodding to Wally, as if to give him permission.
Wally sent an apologetic look at his friend than sprinted forward and pulled of his jumper and top, almost making him loose his sunglasses.
What was revealed shocked the whole team. Hundreds, maybe thousands of scars littered his body. Long ones, short ones, ones in horrible patterns. There eyes were particularly drawn to a 'J' cut into the flesh over his heart.
"What happened, you are 13, how do you have so many scars?" M'gann whispered shocked and concerned for the person she considers her little brother.
"I live and fight in Gotham, the villains there are insane, plus I've been doing this since I was six, that's more than half my life. I'm going to have scars." Robin gave a half grin then shrugged.
"Yeah, but I've not got that many scars, I live in Gotham too." Artemis narrowed her eyes.
"You don't go out and fight villains like Scarecrow, Penguin, Poison Ivy and Joker. There is a reason I got the nickname Boy Hostage. Even the minor crooks are creeps." Robin explained.
"Is that who gave you the scar, the Joker I mean." Conner asked.
"Yeah, he gave me a lot of tgem but that's one that he was really proud of. Trust me the Joker is insane, hope you never have to meet him." Robin shuddered.
"What about that one?" Artemis asked pointing to a long one with occasional jagged edges. Like a razer rose.
"Poison Ivy, one of her vines went wild, of course it was the one with thorns." Robin smiled grimly.
"What about the one on your leg?" Kaldur asked as politely as he could, trying to understand his friend's pain.
The scar he pointed to was particularly nasty, it looked to be about two years old and was extremely ruff, it wrapped all around his leg.
" On Halloween, about two years ago Scarecrow released a version of his fear gas, it affected half the city, most of those affected were children. It drove a couple of people mad. I was on patrol with Bats and I got affected. I accidentally ran into Scarecrow, he cut me with a weird curved knife as I flipped over him, how he did it I don't know, but he almost cut of half my leg." Robin sat down, now that the sun was setting it felt a lot colder. His drenched clothes didn't help.
Robin shivered, which didn't go unnoticed by the team.
"Oh Robin, I'm sorry we keep questioning you but you must be cold. Come on let's get you inside." M'gann led the shivering Boy Wonder back into the Mountain.
"Go get some fresh clothes on, then we continue this talk." Kaldur ordered before the rest of the team settled down in the lounge.
Three minutes later Robin came back in a similar outfit but it was dry this time.
As Robin walked over to the team, he stopped just behind the relaxing team. "Guys, do you mind if ... you know... you don't ask anymore questions. My Scars have happened and they will be there for the rest of my life, nothing changes that. I would prefer though if you don't ask anymore questions , a lot of them are personal." Robin rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Of course, we understand." Kaldur nodded as an answer for the team and thent elbowed Artemis when she looked ready to protest.
"Thanks guys, hey now that it has cooled down, let's watch a movie."
The team settled down and watched Night at the Museum, which amused everyone including Wally, Artemis and Robin who had already seen it.
No questions were asked about Robin's scars again, but they learnt that he was a lot stronger then be seemed, which in truth they should have learnt ages ago.
These battle scars, dont look like theyre fading
