Rise of the Fallen

Chapter 2:

" Azerath, metrion, zinthos, azerath, metrion, zinthos, azerath metrion, zin..." Raven stoped her chanting when she heard a bang at her door, followed by a voice she wasnt expecting.

" Err, Raven? its Robin, can i talk to you?" Robin's voice came from the other side of the door. She knew that he had the right, as team leader, to just walk in. But he would never do that because he respected her privite needs, mainly because he liked to be alone for hours at a time aswell. But Robin wasn't realy sure that Raven wanted to be alone. ' i hope that she talks to me , she hasn't talked to anyone much lately, i realy need to ...' Robins thought's were cut short when Raven's door slide open revealing her hooded face.

"What?" Raven asked rather more harshly then she ment to.

" Er, can i talk to you, in privite?" Robin said in answer to her question. He waited patiently for an answer as he scaned her face, she looked so depressed all the time, so lonely and afraid, he could see it in her violet eyes.

" Sure, on the roof?" Raven finaly answered.

The sun was just begining to sink into the water on the horison. It wasnt cold yet, but Raven knew that it would be as soon as the sky became dark blue and littered with stars.

" So, what do you want to talk about?" Raven asked, looking into the water surrounding the tower.

" Well actually, its about your past, it's just that i dont know anything about your past apart from where you was born" Robin replied trying not to ask to much of his mysterious friend.

" Well... i .. i dont like to talk about it... so ..." Raven trailed of wishing that she had stayed in her room.

" It's ok if you dont want to tell me, i was just wondering, do you want to know some of my past?" Robin asked, he didnt know why he wanted to tell Raven about his past, he just needed someone to tell and he trusted Raven, maybe even a little more than Star. He also knew that it would bring back painfull memories, memories that had taken him so long to forget, it had taken him so long to heal, and now he was about to reopen the wounds.

" Sure" Raven said not letting her eyes leave the water,that was now a dark blue colour due to the loss of sun light.

" Well then ... my parents were performers at the circus, they would flip about in the air as if they could fly, they called theselves the Flying Graysons. My real name is Richard Grayson,thus the name, i would watch all of my parents performances, in the hope of one day becoming a Flying Grayson myself..." Robin stopped as tears threantened to reveil themselves. He kept them back and continued.

" Then one night, i wished i hadnt been watching, they were about to perform and i was rooting them on ... i could have done something... i should have..." Robin was now having a hard time stopping the tears from falling down his face like waterfalls. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, it wasn't a warm hand but it was still reasuring, he turned to face Raven, and was met by two, purple eyes, that showed him that she was listening and that she did care. He cleared his throught and continued as a lone tear traveled down his face.

" They began their routine, but someone had ... sabbotaged the support rope.. and .. they fell to their.. death" Robin said the last word quietly, tears now freely flowing from his eyes, his mask was begining to soak up some of the never ending flow.

" Then... i left the circus... i was affraid... i was young and i had just lost every thing, that i had ever cared about. So i ran, i ended up in Gotham city, it wasn't a great place to start a new life, i didn't even think i had a life. I got on allright, but i ran into a bit of trouble, i thought that i would finally be reunited with my family, only to be saved by Batman. He took me in, taught me and over time he became like a father to me... the rest you allready know." Robin finished wiping his face and eyes(mask).

" Thank you" He said turning to face Raven, who looked back at him and said quietly

" No Robin thank you" And with that she simply returned her gaze back to the water. Robin stood up and began to walk towards the stairs, turning back to the one person he truly trusted, than walked silently to his room.
