All of the titans were gathered around the girl-who had mysteriously appeared not that many hours ago-in the medical ward. She seemed to be staring at Robin. Why?
"What did you say your leader's name was again?" the girl asked, appearing to be in some sort of trance, not moving her eyes from Robin. "His name is Robin," Raven said with no tone-her normal monotonous voice. "Really?" questioned the girl, "Are you sure?" With that, Robin stared at the still unrecognizable (there were still scabs on her face) girl. 'Did she know?' Robin thought. 'No, she couldn't possibly.'
"Pleasant awakenings, girl. What is your name and what is your favorite color and will you be my friend?" Starfire chirped with her all too giddy, cheery voice. The girl frowned. "Umm…sure," she said, as if slightly hesitant to Starfire's giddy attitude. Then she (the girl) smiled, ever so slightly, forming the following words with her mouth. "I'm sure you all wonder where I came from. But I'm tired…I want to talk to Robin-alone."
"What? No way!" Beast Boy protested. But the other titans respected Robin and this mysterious newcomer's right to privacy. All of the titans but Robin left the room.
"What is it?" Robin asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? Who are you? And why are you in jump city?"
(In the girl's POV) Hmm,the girl was thinking, Maybe I was wrong? Maybe he's not who I think he is? How could he just forget me? Why doesn't he recognize me? I gazed into his beautiful eyes. I looked at his mask. Why did he call himself Robin? "I know you're not really Robin," I say with the voice I used to use-the voice I used back when we were a trio. "Come 'on, tell me," I say, "Take off your mask!" And he just stares! He just stares!
(In Robin's POV) "Why won't you tell me who you are?" I continued to ask, refusing to reply to the strange girl's question. "I will," the girl replied, jokingly, "You first." And so we continued this argument of who would reveal their identity first. Finally, we both gave up and simply started up a conversation.
"Why did you start the Teen Titans?" the girl asked. "I can't tell you that," I said, "I guess you can just say that I wanted to continue to fight evil." That part just slipped out. Oops. "Why are you asking me for this information? Who are you?"
"Let me look into your eyes," the girl replied in a soft, dancing whisper.
"Why?" I ask, puzzled yet curious. "I can't take my mask off." She gives up…but probably just for now.
"Who are you? I know you are not Robin…." The girl trailed off…. "I know you miss us…"
So I look closer into the girl's face. I look at her tangled, yet beautiful brown, hair. I look into her scabbed, yet smooth and beautiful face. I read into her beautiful, pure eyes.
"Hermione," I whisper, as light as a night's breeze, soft as a rose's petal or a fairy's wing, quiet as the dark's eye.
Hermione. Back and in my world again.
