It's a Rich World
Robin sighed. He had spent his day beating up the villains and chasing the annoying, pain-in-the-butt reporters away from his teammates. Teammates. He frowned. Why do the Titans have to have so much problems, so much defects? But Robin's dark thoughts were quickly broken by seeing Cyborg. Groaning, Robin called out, "Hey, Cyborg! You have to stay in the tower!" Cyborg nodded and returned to the tower.
Robin sighed. He didn't really understand what's wrong with Cyborg, only that Cyborg has a mild retardation- basically, Cyborg functions at the level of a sixth-grader. Robin frowned; he hated the word "retard," it makes Cyborg seems stupid, but that's not true. Cyborg's the wisest person he ever met.
Thinking of Cyborg led Robin to thinking about Beast Boy. Robin can understands him being mute, but he didn't really understands Beast Boy's muscle problem, only that the muscles are weak and Beast Boy has difficulty controlling them. Yet Beast Boy's the funniest person Robin knows.
His thoughts moved from Beast Boy to Raven. The dark girl is dark in many ways; even her world is dark. Robin sighed. How can she live with blindness? Unable to see the sun? Unable to see a rainbow? Unable to see the faces of her mother or friends? Somehow, Raven is able to live with being blind. Sometimes, Robin ponders, you forget that she is blind- and you only think about how she's the kindest person there is.
Funny enough, thinking of Raven made Robin think about Starfire. The girl is surprisingly bright, happy even though she is deaf. How it must be like, never hearing anything in her life… not hearing her parents or friends or the gentle signing of birds or the humming of spaceships' engines. Yet she is bright, happy, never minding her lack of hearing- using her eyes alone Starfire had gotten through life so far. Robin smiles; he wasn't thinking of her deafness; indeed, he is thinking of her sweetness.
Robin blinked. Why did he call his friends' differences 'defects,' anyway? They weren't disabled- simply different. Robin sighed. Knowing them had opened a whole new world to him, and it's a rich world.
