Robin walked to the dock as he prepared to make entry to the mainland. It wasn't often that he took a boat, opting for either taking Cyborg's Titan Car or using Raven or Starfire for transportation. Instead, Dick Grayson was being casual as he walked to his boat. The boat could require some minor maintenance, but hearing that engine purr gave him a sense that the boat will be in great condition. As he untied the rope and got himself ready to head to shore, a calm, tranquil feeling entered his stomach. He had felt that the day off was the best thing he could do for him and his teammates. It wasn't an easy move, but it was a move he felt that it was suitable.

Dick, Robin, or the Boy Wonder remembered one afternoon during a casual visit to his mentor's lair. Alfred patted him on his back as he entered his leader's bedroom. Robin chagrined as a line of women were lying on his bed. They served as the bread for Batman was the meat in their sandwich. It surprised Robin for he had never seen Batman in that position. The memories of his prowess, his strength, their code of ethics were ingrained in his brain that he couldn't fathom what Batman was doing. As the girls were preparing to take Batman away, Batman gave Robin some advice.

'Listen, my Boy Wonder. Sometimes it is good to let go. Take a break from being a superhero.'

'What are you saying,' he exclaimed. 'Have you gone mad? Weren't you the very person that told me that a superhero is your main identity?'

Batman let out a smile. 'Yes, I did. It is to be your main identity, but remember that underneath that mask is a person that needs time to be heard as well.' He winked at Robin. 'Right, Dick?'

The girls widened their eyes as they heard his Christian name. They giggled, whispering into each other's ear. One of the girls whispered in Batman's ear. Batman returned the whisper by kissing her cheek. 'The girls were wondering if you wanted to join me? I don't mind?'

Robin stammered. 'I...I...I...I don't know what to say? This is...this...this…"

Batman laughed. 'Robin, Robin, Robin. Have I ever teach you anything?' He clapped his hands, letting the girls know that he needed some one-on-one with the Boy Wonder. Robin covered his eyes as he saw Batman in his birthday suit. Alfred returned with a robe to put before leading Robin to the patio.

Batman and Robin sat by the swimming pool as Batman lit a cigarette. Robin watched as he exhaled the smoke into the sky. 'Sometimes, Robin, we can't save everything.' He flicked the cigarette ash. 'We have to accept that we can't save everyone. Bad things happen to everyone. We can't explain or predict, but you must not hinder yourself from living.'

'Then why did you teach me all of your principles if you are giving me this kind of advice,' asked Robin.

'I am not stopping you from pursuing your passion,' interjected Batman. 'I just say that it is okay to relax. Overworking will cause an early death.' He glared at the Boy Wonder. 'And what you are supposed to do after you are dead?' He inhaled his cigarette. 'Heroes die. So do villains. They get replaced. We get replaced. Eventually, I will have to hang up the cape and someone is going to take my place, Dick.' He turned to him. 'Understand that you only get one life. So why not live a little?' He giggled as he stood up and untied his robe. Robin turned as his mentor was once again in his birthday suit.

'There is no shame in being free, Boy Wonder,' exclaimed Batman. 'Sometimes you have to let it hang.' He clapped as the women were exiting into the swimming area. 'All I am saying is that have some fun every once in a while. Take a break from being Robin and be Dick Grayson from time to time. We can't stop everything evil, so why stop everything we can have fun.' He looked to the room where he saw another visitor. 'As a matter of fact, Robin. There is a girl I would like to introduce you to. Well, a girl that has already made your acquaintance,' he winked to the Boy Wonder.

Since that brief interaction with the Dark Knight, Robin took it to consideration. He reached for his AUX cord to pull into his cell phone. Lil Peep and Lil Tracy was his drug of choice for music as he cruised down the shoreline listening to heavy trap music. As he continued driving, he received a text message.

Hey, stud. Are you close by?

Just about. Making my way to the coast by boat.

Why boat? You know I could have got you by air ;)

No, no, it's fine. They don't need to know.

You mean you haven't told them yet?

No, I haven't. It is just I don't want them in our business.

Are you ashamed of me?

You? Heck no! Only a fool would be.

Good! Because I am not as vulnerable as I allow myself to be around you. You know that, right?

Certain, my princess. I am happy to accommodate.

Thanks! Now accommodate your sweet ass to this coast, Mr. Butt. There is a lap that is waiting on your sweet ass.

Don't worry, my love. On the way!

You better! Later, stud!
