They sat on top of an old abandoned building. The moon was full and the stars were out shining their brightest. The new girl was very quiet most of the time, until she decided to break the chilling silence.
"This night has been wonderful." She confessed.
"Really?" Robin asked. "I'm glad you think so."
"I never knew there was so much in this city."
"Oh there's a lot more. There's a few clubs and restaurants and parks and all sorts of things."
"Sounds fun."
"Want to see them?"
"Maybe another day. It's getting late, we should head back."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Starfire is probably worried." Robin sighed. "What?"
"She's a great person, but…she follows me around all the time! I think she sees us as more than friends."
"You mean you don't?" she asked.
"Huh, no! Whatever gave you that idea?"
"You guys seem to have something for each other."
"Well we don't. Or at least not anymore. I'm a bit of a solitaire person and nobody knows too much about me."
"That's my problem but only because I jump from place to place. I never had anyone I could really talk to or get to know…or have fun with. I was always alone." She explained as she caught a lightning bug.
"I'm sorry." Robin sympathized.
"It's not your fault." She smiled a bit and let the bug go. It flew off into the moon. "Besides, I have friends now." Robin smiled. There was more silence.
"We need to think of a name for you." She giggled. "Really. The new girl isn't much of a super hero name. Hmm, let's see. You're mysterious."
"I am?"
"Sure, nobody knows you, and you come and go in a flash. Mystic."
"That sounds nice."
"But you fly like an angel." He said.
"Excuse me?" she asked, and he wished he hadn't said it.
"You know, angels wear all white and fly around. I always thought that angels possessed special powers. You fit that description." The girl giggled.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think that was a compliment, Robin." She teased as she bat her eyelashes. Robin smiled.
"Take it as one if you want." He offered.
Suddenly, Robin was knocked off of the building! He fell to the ground! The girl gasped and looked up to see a man in a metal suit standing over her! She jumped up! Who was this guy? She backed up slowly. He stared her down. "Who are you?" she said to herself. He went to grab her but something hit him in the face and sparked, causing smoke! "SLADE!" Robin yelled from the ground! Slade? The villain Robin had told her about? "Leave her alone!" Robin growled.
"I didn't come for her." Slade said and he jumped down and kicked Robin into some crates! Robin tried to get up, but Slade kept hitting him! He couldn't hit him back! Slade picked him up and threw him to the ground!
"Robin!" she yelled.
"Go home!" he yelled to her!
"No!"
"Go back to the tower!" he told her and Slade kicked him again! She stressed and vanished. Robin knew she went back like he had told her.
"Now, now, who was that Robin?"
"You won't get her!" Robin told him! They continued to fight! Punching, kicking, flipping and more! The fight lasted forever! Robin grew tired and went off guard for a split second! And Slade took advantage of that! He fired a net and caught Robin! Robin fell to the ground and couldn't get free! He struggled and struggled but the ropes had him down! Slade stood over him with some kind of gun!
"Don't worry Robin…this won't hurt…for long." Slade said. As he pressed the trigger a gust of wind whipped it out of his hand! He jumped back! "Who is that?" he demanded. There was another gust that sent him flying into a wall! He crashed into it! Robin looked up and in front of his eyes appeared a white figure, with white glowing eyes and the grace of an angel! It was the new girl to his rescue! She hadn't left him! But she was about to fight Slade?
"No! You'll get hurt" He called up to her. "Run!"
"No!" she responded. "I run from no one!"
"Who are you?" Slade yelled as he pointed his gun at the girl!
"NO!" Robin yelled.
"I am…Mystic Angel." She answered with her eyes glowing white! Slade fired his gun just as she kicked up dust into the air!
"NO!" Robin yelled again! There was no answer! But Slade yelled and came crashing down with a thud! The girl landed in front of him and her eyes changed from white to orange!
"You are so going down." She said and she threw a heap of fire at him! Slade yelled and fell off the building and down to the ground! She returned to her normal state and walked over to Robin and cut him loose.
"Are you alright?" she asked him. Robin looked into her eyes.
"Thanks…Mystic Angel."
"Hey, it's my job." She replied.
"I can't believe you took him on all by yourself." Robin said with a hand behind his head.
"Well, I kind of caught him off guard." She said meekly while blushing.
"But still, it was amazing!" Robin said as he took her hands in his. She looked down and blushed more. "I had no idea."
"Does this mean I can finally fight with you guys?" she questioned hopefully. Robin chuckled.
"It's only fair." And after that she jumped forward and hugged him!
"Oh Robin, thank you so much! I won't let you down! I promise."
"I know you won't. Now let's go tell the others." And they left back for the tower.
"I must go find them!" Starfire said as she went to leave the tower.
"Star, I told you they're fine!" Cyborg told her.
"But they may be in trouble. They have been out for much too long!" Star whined. But the door opened and in walked Robin and the new girl. "Robin, where have you been?"
"Oh nowhere, out to the mall, the pier, kicking Slade's butt." Robin replied. The mouths in the room gaped open…
"What? Dude, how did you…when did you…" Beast Boy began.
"Actually, Mystic Angel kicked Slade's butt. I just watched."
"Mystic Angel? Who's that?" Raven asked. Robin looked at the new girl.
"We found a name for her." And she blushed.
"Mystic Angel at your service." She said with a curtsey.
"Cool!" Cyborg yelled!
"Nice name!" Raven joined it.
"Amazing…you're awesome!" BB cheered. "You're…you're…"
"Terrible!" Starfire yelled at the girl with a finger in her face. Everyone went silent. "How dare you put Robin in danger!"
"I didn't." she answered looking angrily at Starfire.
"Then what made Slade attack him?"
"Star calm down!" Robin helped. "She saved me."
"Saved you? But you have never needed saving before!"
"There's a first time for everything. And if Angel wasn't there I would have been in trouble."
"Angel?" she paused. "Angel? Why do you call her Angel?" Star demanded.
"It's the name I gave her. Mystic Angel." Robin explained.
"Angel is what one calls another when they have special feelings for them!" Star complained.
"What are you talking about? It's her name! We couldn't call her the new girl forever!"
"Well there is nothing about her that is like an Angel! You were put in danger!"
"And I told you Star, she saved me!" Robin yelled back at Star. She grew mad and flew away and into the hallway. A door slammed and then everyone looked at Angel. "It's not you." Robin told her. "You should get some rest."
