17 People Who Loved Robin
1. Raven
She glances at her boyfriend and then at the Jump City Weekly, and sighs. "I know better than to overestimate the gossip columnists, Robin, but this if the eighth article detailing about, and I quote, 'illicit affair,' and they still can't figure out a title that isn't associated with birds."
2. Starfire
She may have kissed him to learn the language, but she pushed him away because she realized that, for the first time, she wanted the gesture to mean more than that.
3. Bumblebee
They shared a bond that only leaders have, and perhaps that's why it means so much to her when he claps her on the shoulder after a hard fight and tells her she did a good job.
4. Jinx
He might have had no fashion sense and the lamest catchphrase ever, but once he pinned her against the wall and all Jinx could think about was whether he'd kiss her back if she brought their faces just a couple inches closer.
5. Terra
She tried to save Beast Boy because she knew she wouldn't have been able to bear the look on Robin's face when he realized what she'd done.
6. Pantha
She thinks he's just a cute boy until he throws her against the wall during a wrestling match. Amidst the pain and faint dizziness, she glances up at him and feels herself blushing when he helps her up, because anyone strong enough to defeat her is 100% man.
7. Kole
Gnaark has been her only companion for so long that she's almost forgotten what humans looked like. If they all looked like Robin, she thought, cheeks pink, she's been missing out.
8. Blackfire
Remembering the way a certain masked human had leaped to her younger sister's defense, she wondered bitterly why, once again, the universe chose to favor Starfire.
9. Wonder Woman
She was in love with his surrogate father, but as she watched a shirtless Nightwing lift weights, she couldn't help but wonder how the Wayne family always seem to make her heart beat faster.
10. Hawkgirl
It's disgusting and wrong and he's way too young, but the way Nightwing flies through the air makes him look as if he might actually have wings. There's just something light and joyful about his movement that makes it flight and not just movement when he scales buildings, and she couldn't help but want to share it with him.
11. Madame Rouge
Titan's West finds it equally hilarious and disturbing that a certain Russian villain has developed what can only be described as a crush on their leader. With any other villain, it wouldn't have been as bad, but Madame Rouge hissing suggestive comments about flexible she is during their fights is enough to make Robin want to go hide in the Batcave.
12. Catwoman
"I like bats," she purred as she stalked closer, rolling her eyes appreciatively at the grown-up Robin, "But I love birdies."
13. Batgirl
They were brother and sister, best friends, partners-in-crime—and Barbara can't help thinking bitterly that had this been a movie, they would have been madly in love. Unfortunately, since this was life, that only happened to half of the equation.
14. Black Canary
She loves Ollie, she really does, but the sight of Richard Grayson on her doorstep asking for Roy makes her wish that he was asking for her instead.
15. Angel
He's rumored to be in love with a half-demon struggling against the darkness, so is it so implausible that he might transfer his affections onto an angel who has never seen the light?
15. Cheshire
The rumors say that she falls in love with the archer, but that's only because he looked so much like a certain Bird and by the time she realized her mistake—it was too late. Still, Cheshire's nothing if not patient. She'd meet Robin of Titans West sooner or later.
16. Argent
"Oh my," she whispers when the Titans rendezvous for their annual meeting, "I'd forgotten how good-lookin' our leader was."
17. Raven (Reprise)
His lips crash down on hers and he presses her down on the bed, savoring the feeling of her moaning against his mouth. After three weeks apart hunting down the Brotherhood of Evil, it was like coming home again.
