Black hair tumbled down from under Slade's mask. A face that looked like Robin's looked out. But there was something different about it, it was a girl.
"So Robin," she smiled, stepping toward him. The other titans stared in shock. "Now you know. Tell me, are you dissapointed in your little sister? Did you expect me to be just like Jay? To be a good little girl and stay home while you went and trained?" Robin looked away from her, but she grabbed him again by the front of his uniform. She pulled him close to her faceso he was forced to look at her. Tears streamed from his pale eyes. "Well, I didn't. Tell me, do they know what you did?" She gestured toward the titans who stood still, amazed. "Do they!"
"No," he whispered. She smiled victoriously.
"Why don't you tell them?" He tried to pull away from her. Suddenly, she froze. Her hand fell from Robin's uniform and she collapsed to the floor. No longer being supported, Robin fell onto his back. He turned and buried his face in his arms. Starfire, whose hand was still raised from shooting the starbolt, ran over to him. She knelt beside him and placed a hand on his back.
"Please Robin, who is this girl?"she whispered. He pushed himself up onto his knees, but kept his head low. The others were around them now, each wanting to hear.
"Her name is Falcon. She, well, she's my sister,"he said softly.
"But what was she talking about? What haven't you told us?" Raven asked in her usual monotone, but Beast Boy could see almost fear in her eyes. He placed a hand on hers, and suprisinglyshe held it instead of pulling away.
"It's a long story," he whispered. He reached out and held Star's hand for support. She looked into his beautiful pale blue eyes. His tears seared her heart and made her feel like she should do something, but there was nothing she could do. "When I was younger, well, my life wasn't too good. My mother, my brother, my sister and I lived in a small apartement. I felt like I had potential, like I could do something more with my life, so I left." His voice faded away. He fell forward so his head was on Star's shoulder.
"I belive we should go home," she whispered. The others nodded. She helped Robin up and they headed to the door, all taking careful notice that Slade, or rather, Falcon, was no longer lying on the ground. She had escaped again.
Star sat down with Robin on his bed, making sure he was alright before she left him.
"Thanks for listening Star," he whispered, "for always listening, and always being there. For everything." He hugged her and lay his head on her shoulder. She returned his hug, not in her usual rib-breaking way, but cradling him carefully. He was so upset. Everything was falling apart. He held her close, never wanting to let go. Finally, she stood and walked toward the door, letting his hand slide from her shoulder down her arm until just the tips of their fingers were touching. She smiled and turned and left.
ok, yes, i am completely rewriting Robin's past. probablynone of this is true. but, i am changing it. so, for the purpose of this story, its all true. dont worry, ill add some true stuff so that no one tries to kill me or anything, but this is MY version. if you dont like it, dont read the story
Robin lay down on his bed and curled into a ball. He felt so weak. How could he let himself be like this in front of the others? They'd have no respect for him now. He drifted off the sleep. Now his subconcius thoughts took over. The memory of the day he'd been avoiding for so long came back to him.
"I can't stay here anymore?" said a young boy to his little sister.
"Why not?" she asked. Her eyes were big and teary. She had the same pale colored blue eyes as him. They looked like they could have been twins, except she was about a year younger.
"Falcon, you have to understand, there's nothing here," he said, kneeling down. He placed his bag on the ground and held her tiny hand in his. "I'm going to go find what I can be. There's so much out in the world, but if I stay here, I'll never be anything."
"Robin, I don't want you to leave!"
"I have to."
"Then let me come with you! Please!"
"No, stay here with mom and Jay." Her sad eyes started to turn to anger. She pulled her hand away from his and crossed her arms.
"Do you think you're the only one who wants to be somebody? I do too! Someday you'll see Robin, and you'll be sorry you left me here! You'll be sorry!" She stormed away. He hadn't taken her seriously. He had picked up his bag and left. He had met Batman. He had trained. He had formed the Teen Titans. He had never once thought back to a little girl's anger.
Robin woke up with his eyes again brimming with tears. He had pushed her aside. It was all his fault.
Raven couldn't help but be curious. She wanted to know who Falcon was. She went into her room as soon as they got home. She tried to meditate, but couldn't. There was a soft knock on her door. She walked up and opened to see Beast Boy. She stepped aside and let him in. Not sure what to do, he just kind of stood in the center of her room.
"Sit down," she smiled, motioning next to her as she sat on her bed. He sat next to her. "What do you think Robin did?"
"We could find out you know," BB said, looking over at her, "all you have to do is go inside his mind, I mean he'd be thinking about it, wouldn't he?"
"I shouldn't," she paused, "but I will." She once again went into Robin's mind. She watched as he drempt about the day he left. This was something she shouldn't know, not without him telling. This was wrong. She couldn't tell BB. Why had she listened to him anyway?
She came back and BB looked up at her, wanting tohear what she had seen.
"Nothing,"she lied,"it didn't work, I didn't see anything." He shrugged and stood up. With a slight wave he left. As soon as the door closed, Raven fell backward on her bed and two of her bookends flew into the air and smashed against each other.
im trying not to completely shift the story away from raven, in case you hadnt noticed. yes, everyone in robin's family is named after a bird. isnt that neat? no, ok, moving on. review, tell me what i should do with this thing
