Confessing Love
Try and Try Again
They quickly glided over the lake separating their tower from the city. Robin glanced at Raven who was concentrating on not letting them fall to their deaths. She looked beautiful with the moonlight shining on her face.
'Okay I'm going to tell her. I'm going to tell her.' Robin chanted in his mind as they neared the city.
Raven floated them to the ground and released her powers. She turned to Robin and got straight to the point, "What did you want to tell me?"
Robin turned to her and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He had lost his nerve. "Before we get to that how about we do something first." Robin suggested.
Raven lifted an eyebrow before responding, "But I though you had to talk to me about something important."
"I do, but how many times do we get to go two the city just the two of us, and there isn't any crime we have to stop," Robin explained.
"Fine, we can do something, but what?" Raven asked.
"Are you hungry?" Robin returned.
"Yeah, but I get to pick where we eat," Raven insisted.
"Okay as long as it isn't to creepy," Robin agreed.
Raven led Robin down a semi-dark street and stopped half way down, She knocked and a slit open immediately. Two pale brown eyes stared at them for a second before the door opened.
"Ah Raven nice to see you again, but who is his guy," asked an incredibly ugly guy suspiciously. His hair was brown and in a bowl cut style. His face was covered in acne and he had thick bottle-cap glasses that were held together by a piece of tape. He was like the stereotypical nerd except he was dressed in all black.
Raven looked at Robin with a worried expression. Robin realized that Raven didn't know his real name and if she told the guy his alias than he would know who they were.
"I'm Richard," Robin said sticky out his hand to shake the nerd's.
Hesitantly the other guy took Robin's hand and replied, "Herbert."
He gave Robin and small glare before he looked back at Raven, "Haven't seen you around in a while. Were you sick or something?" questioned Herbert.
"Yeah sick that's it. I was sick. Now could I have my usual table please?," Raven asked wanting to get rid of Herbert.
He nodded and moved aside. Raven led Robin over to a booth in the corner.
"So you come here often?" Robin spoke making small talk.
"Not lately. That guy, Herbert, has been bugging me ever since he started working here and it has got on my nerves. Plus I haven't had the chance to come anyways," Raven answered.
"I could tell he got on your nerves. So what do they have to eat here?" Robin changed the subject.
"They have the best burgers in town. And there salads are good too," Raven replied.
"Hamburger it is," Robin returned.
"And what would you like to drink with that," out of nowhere a girl no older than sixteen asked. She had light brown hair that was in a fairly short ponytail. Hanging down in her face was a thick strand of dark blue hair. Her eyes were green with flecks of red.
"Um, Cherry Coke would be great," replied Robin assuming she was their waitress.
"It's great to finally see you again Raven," she said to the girl across from Robin.
Raven looked up from her menu and smiled at the waitress.
"Julie, I almost didn't recognize you without your blond hair," Raven answered back.
"Yeah I got sick of the blonde thing so I went back to my natural color, well mostly," Julie pointing to the blue strand, "So can I get you the usual than."
Raven nodded and Julie walked off.
"You sure do know a lot of people outside the team," Robin said to Raven.
"Yeah well I've been coming here for years, and Julie has waited on this table for years," Raven informed.
Robin nodded a response. For a minute or two there was an uncomfortable silence. Julie then arrived with their drinks and she set Raven herbal tea down.
"So who's this mysterious young man with the shades?" Julie questioned. (By the way Robin is wearing sun glasses instead of his mask.)
"Julie this is Ro-I mean Richard," Raven corrected herself.
"So this is the guy you told me about. The one you have a huge-oww," Julie screeched as Raven brought her foot down on hers.
"Careful Julie you might end up lowering your tip," Raven spat. Tears brimmed at the rig of Julie's eyes, but she smiled through the pain in her foot.
"I will be sure to be more careful," Julie said and slammed her foot on Raven's for revenge. Raven just gave her a death glare as the girl walked back to the kitchen.
Robin couldn't help when Raven shot Julie the death glare and he busted out with a fit of laughter. Raven turned her death glare on Robin which caused him to stop immediately, and Raven smiled at his reaction.
"So your name is Richard?" Raven started off a new conversation.
"Yeah, but everyone who knows just calls me Dick," he responded.
"I think I'll stick with Richard. If you don't mind," Raven told him.
"Not at all. I actually prefer Richard anyways," Robin informed and he gave her a warm smile and Raven and returned it.
"So Richard, what did you want to speak to me about earlier?" she asked lightly.
"Well, I wanted to tell you that I think I'm in l-" he was interrupted when Julie set the plate down in front of them. Robin lowered his head to the food.
"Enjoy and let me know if you need anything else," Julie said and she walked off.
Robin hadn't realized how hungry he really was until his food was if front of him. Immediately he started to eat forgetting about what was almost said five seconds earlier. The two teens sat in silence as they ate. The manager came up on the stage in the middle of the room and announced that open-mic night was starting. The couple didn't pay any attention to it though
After they finished eating they got back down to business.
"Lets try that again. What were you about to say?" Raven asked once again.
"Right, Raven I think I might be in-" Robin started.
"Raven this is a poem expressing my unwavering affection for you," Herbert said from the stage. Raven looked wide eyed at the stage where the little nerd was standing. Raven buried her face in her hands.
"Damn it," Robin said. That was the fourth thing to interrupt him that day.
Herbert was winding down his poem when Raven said, "Lets get out of here before he's finished.
Robin nodded and through twenty-five dollars on the table and they ran out of there fast. Raven said good-bye to Julie right before they passed through the exit.
"I'll hold him back if he comes after you," Julie offered as she saw her friend run for it.
The two just ran down the street not knowing or caring where they ended up.
