So here's a new chapter.

We're finally getting back to the RobBlack.

Quick apology in advance that I know nothing about martial arts training, so it probably isn't very accurate/well-written.

With that out of the way, enjoy!

Robin's POV

"You ready?" Blackfire asked, as we circled each other.

We were currently in a training session, and considering it was just us she'd suggested sparing.

I'd agreed of course. Honestly it's a blessing Terra's not here to get in the way.

We'd agreed that in order to make it a fair fight, She wouldn't use her powers and I wouldn't use my bo-staff. It was just going to be about our martial arts training.

"I was born ready" I answered.

I struck first, aiming for her legs. However she quickly jumped out of the way, before throwing some punches, which I promptly blocked.

It continued on this way for sometime, the two of us engaged in what felt more like a dance than a fight.

But a good dance, not like one of the actual dances that I despised. More like what one who enjoys it may view it as.

However as I threw a punch she grabbed my arm mid-air, and flipped me over her shoulder.

While I was still on the ground she decided to pin me down and ensure her victory.

Or to make things really awkward. One or the other.

It wasn't even like she'd done it very well, the actual pinning down part. She had my arms pinned against the floor, but other than that she had mostly just positioned herself on top of me.

We were both sweating hard. Our faces were only inches apart, and I was becoming increasingly aware of my own thoughts.

Maybe Terra being absent wasn't such a good thing after all.

"Uh, you win" I quickly said, before anything more could happen.

"Yeah, I guess so." She reluctantly got up, before giving me her hand so I could do the same.

We both slowly headed towards the benches. I grabbed some water and began gulping it down.

"You did good, you know" Blackfire told me "Not many are able to hold their own against me for that long."

I considered mentioning that Starfire had, but thought better of it.

"Especially a human" She added

"Uh… What's wrong with humans?" I asked.

"Nothing!" She quickly answered "Your people just um… don't exactly possess much powers.

"There are many parts about them that I admire though."

"Like what?"

"The idea of having lip contact be a romantic gesture." She replied "It's a really smart idea. Having an action that allows knowledge to be passed, and turning it into a symbol of affection."

"You mean kissing?" I asked "Because I'm pretty sure that you don't learn anything from it."

"Oh" She replied "Well, Tamaranians are able to use it to learn new languages. I suppose that it is just another power that humans don't have."

"Yeah…" I responded "Um, you are ok with the fact that I'm a human, right?"

"You're right. I should stop being so rude." Blackfire admitted.

"Wait… if Tamaranians learn other languages through lip contact…" I began "Well that explains a lot."

"What does it explain?"

"When your Sister first arrived on Earth she kissed me." I explained "I always wondered why, but I guess that's it."

"She kissed you?"

"Of course, it didn't mean that our relationship was romantic," I quickly reassured her. "Me and Starfire were just friends.

"Before I… you know…"

"Well it's too bad that your people can't learn through kissing" She replied "I was hoping that I could teach you something through it. That you could teach me something too."

She began moving closer "Maybe we could even learn something more about each other as a person, rather than just a language or two.

"Of course, I guess kisses are still different than just learning a language on Earth."

"Yeah"

"And I suppose what they symbolize is still more powerful"

I felt my face turn to face hers. We both slowly felt ourselves drifting towards one another.

"I appreciate the help Selina, but what's that behind you?"

Catwoman had just assisted me and my father in stopping one of Penguin's many schemes. We were all currently gathered on a rooftop.

She wore a shiny black body suit that covered her entire body, except her face. However she still had some goggles that covered her eyes. She also had some black heeled boots.

"Nothing"

He narrowed his eyes, "Is a diamond worth nothing?"

And sure enough, while I couldn't get a good enough look at her to be sure, the glimmer of a diamond was there.

"Hey, what can I say handsome?" She said with a shrug. "They are a girl's best friend. Besides it's not like I didn't just help you apprehend Penguin. Nobody will notice if one gem isn't returned from his collection."

"Doesn't change the fact that you need to give it back." He held his hand out.

"Fine…" She answered, starting to oblige, before suddenly recoiling.

"Psych" The young woman rushed off the roof, towards a new one.

"I told you she was trouble." I muttered before we both went to catch her.

"What happened?" I asked as my Father trudged into the batcave.

I knew him and Talia had gone off to stop one of Ra's Al Ghul's schemes. Apparently even his daughter had found the number of innocents at stake repulsive.

"We stopped Ra's from killing a whole bunch of the world." He informed me.

"Great. Ra's is in jail?" I suspected I knew the answer, but decided to ask anyway.

"No." He answered "I nearly put him in there, but last minute Talia chose to save him.

He added in a mutter "She chose him over me. Again."

"...He… left me…" Harley whispered.

She wore a Red and Black jester costume. White makeup covered her face. Her baby blue eyes sparkled with the tears she was trying to hold back.

It had been a normal fight with Joker, which in the midst of which he'd decided that Harley was just a liability, and chosen to flee the scene without her.

Me and My father exchanged a glance, knowing that this was one of the smaller crimes he'd committed towards her.

I peeked into Starfire's room.

I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but she had forgotten to close the door and I couldn't help secretly checking on her.

She was curled up in the corner, listening to all the telegraphes her Sister had sent her over the months. Tears stained her face.

I silently walked away, sensing how she needed her space to deal with Blackfire's betrayal. While it had somewhat hurt me, I could only imagine all the pain she was going through.

I quickly turned my head away from Blackfire, before saying "That's all very sweet of you."

Blackfire was staring at me, but I think I drew back fast enough for her to think that I wasn't about to kiss her.

I silently began focusing on the wall. "Is there anything else you like about Earth?" I asked, desperate to change the subject. Besides I really did want to know.

She sighed, before answering. I tried my best to pay attention, but honestly? I was still shaken from how close I'd gotten to giving in to my feelings and kissing her.

How close I'd gotten to kissing a villain.

Yes, I am aware of how similar this scene is to Trouble in Tokyo. And I apologize for that.

Also random question but why does everyone act like Blackfire knows everything about Earth? She's still an alien like Starfire. And while she -amazing- seems better informed, there's no way that she knows everything.
