I am SO sorry that it's been so long since I've updated! So much has changed! I've finished school and I now have a job!

I truly hope you can forgive me! Xx

Robin POV

"Wally, why do I have to do this?" I asked for the third time, feeling rather cheesed off that I was dragged away from the evidence room, just to sit in the main room of the tower.

"Dude, I've known you for a long time. You're only hiding in that dark room, not because you don't wanna face the city, But because it's all dark and gloomy. It reminds you of a cave... you know, like a bat cave ..." He stared at me for a moment. I stared back in denial but I had to face it. He was right. He continued pushing me forward, past the many rooms and blank doors. "...You have to forget what the Riddler guy said. He was wrong and everyone knows it. You're awesome bro." He grinned and pushed me in the shoulder, as usual. "You're Robin. THE Robin. Don't let some mental patient get you down."

I didn't reply. What could I possibly say to that?

As he shoved me forward one more time, I stepped in to the main room. Looking around I could see Cyborg and Beast Boy were back to their old selves, sitting on the couch playing video games while calling out insults to each other on the others driving skills or laughing that they hit each other and got stuck upside down and had to restart the game over to be able to continue playing.

"Come on" Kid Flash pulled on my arm once or twice indicating that I have to follow him. I didn't.

Staying put, I briefly wondered where the girls were. Raven was probably meditating in her room or on the roof. Judging by the smell coming from the kitchen, Starfire was most definitely in there and Spark... I don't know where she is, but then I haven't been out of the evidence room for a while... I hope she's alright. Me and her have never been like this before; so distant and secretive, we always knew what was going on with the other and how to handle every situation, but this was all new. We've never had a public humiliation before... maybe that's why she won't talk to me or see me... I've ruined everything for us.

And just like that, the storm cloud was back over my head.

Sparkbomb POV

I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. Fear and nerves flooded through me as I walked down the hall towards the main room. I couldn't even bare to look up, I simply starred at the floor and looked at me new costume and shoes. I had no idea how to tell him. I had no idea how he would take it. He's going to hate me, I just know it.

It takes years to build a friendship... and this one mistake will destroy it all... Everything we've been through... everything we survived won't matter... It's all lost.

Finally, I forced myself to look up, but it was too late. I crashed straight into the back of the guy I was looking for and together we crashed to the ground. The saddest part of all this... This fall was probably the last thing we would do together. Huh...

"Sorry!" We said in unison. He rolled over and I was suddenly made more aware that I was on top of him.

His masked eyes starred up at me in surprise and I realised I may never be close to him again. As he opened his mouth to speak, I hugged him and buried my face into the crook of his neck as tears fought their way out of my eyes and down my cheeks.

"Hey... Spark? What's wrong? Are you hurt? Spark?" He wraps his arms around me protectively and sits us up, so our legs cross over and we're sitting side by side, with my head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry... Robin I'm so sorry..." My voice cracks with a sob as I speak and he runs a hand up and down my back supportively.

"What do you mean? It was an accident" He sweetly smiles.

"n-no... I didn't mean that... I-" He cuts me off.

"Don't be silly, you have nothing to be sorry for. I'm the one who led us in to that trap..." He voice drifts off and I shake my head quickly.

"I didn't mean that... I... I... I really messed up and because of that I haven't been there for you when you needed me and I-"

"Spark, you don't have to say anything. That business with The Riddler was hard for everyone." Robin says softly, after cutting me off and, seemingly in an attempt to cheer me up, changes the subject. "You look nice by the way. New costume? It suits you." He grins and remarks "And it's black! Now you definitely fit in as one of the Bat-Fam" He teases and wipes the tears off my face. I couldn't help but smile.

Damn nerves are making me a mess.

"Thanks. I really needed a change." I regrettably stood up and gave him a hand.

"Well it's a great change... I mean, not that you didn't look great before, I just mean that-" I laughed.

"I understand"

"It's nice to see you again..." He smiles and takes my hand

"You too... it feels like we haven't seen each other in forever..." with my head lower slightly I glance up at him through my fringe. "I miss you"

With a light squeeze to my hand, he opens his mouth to reply, but gets interrupted by a loud cough.

Our heads snapped around to see Kid Flash watching us with a smug grin and an eyebrow raised in grim suggestive satisfaction.

"I hate to interrupt, but could you get a room?" He laughed to himself and I softly smiled looking down at my feet.

"Sorry Wally... actually, Robin, could we talk in my room? I really need to tell you something..." My nerves were back. I clutched my hands together to stop them from shaking.

Robin looked concerned and nodded immediately, "yeah, of course"

"Is this something I should be worried about?" KF called over across the room from his seat watching TV.

I might as well be honest... "Maybe..."

I pretended that I didn't see the look that the two boys shared, as I kept Robins hand in mine to get him to follow me out of the room.

I feel like I'm walking the green mile.
