'thoughts'

"phone speech"

"regular speech"

Everyone was in the living room joking around. Slade stood in a corner, watching Kaitlyn as she chatted with Starfire. Brandon, Cyborg, and Beastboy were playing video games. Raven was showing Krystal and Ebon some of her spell books. Talon was chatting with Tera about girl stuff. Robin was listening to his radio while he glared at Slade.

Krystal yawned, "God I need a workout."

"Then train, Dragonbreath," stated Brandon.

Krystal glared at him before she shrugged. She went to the training room and stated punching the heaviest bag, which was 25 tons. She stopped when she sensed someone in the room. She looked and saw Slade. He was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed.

She went back to her training, "Can I help you?"

Slade just stared, "What is the weight of the bag?"

She smirked, "25 tons."

"That's impossible!" exclaimed Slade.

Robin came in, "What's going on?"

Slade turned to Robin wide eyed, "She's training on a 25 ton bag."

Robin jumped and stared at Krystal as she stood in a shotokan pose. She thrusted her hands in front of her and a ball of ice struck the bag. It didn't appear to be fazed but the mist was a give away that inside it was frozen.

Krystal smiled, "That's better."

Starfire came in with Ebon and Talon, "Is something wrong, friends?"

Robin turned to her, "Did you know that your friend can punch a 25 ton bag?"

Ebon and Talon bacame wide eyed as Starfire giggled, "Family friend Krystal can punch much more than that."

Everyone fell and yelled, "EXACTLY HOW MUCH CAN SHE TAKE?!"

Starfire became thoughtful, "Oh, I saw around 100 to 200 tons."

Slade and Robin became bug-eyed when Krystal walked toward them. She looked like she that she didn't break a sweat.

"What's up guys?" she asked.

Everyone but Starfire stared at her. She appeared confused at first then annoyed and went to the mat. She did a few stretches and flips before she took a shotokan pose.

"Hey, Star," she said, "could you please be my sparring partner?"

"I could," offered Robin. 'Now I can see just how good she is.'

Krystal looked at him out of the corner of her eye, "Alright but don't get mad if I kick your ass."

Robin became annoyed as he took his position in front of Krystal. He drew his staff out as he took a martial arts pose. Krystal narrowed her eyes.

He noticed, "What?"

She smirked, "You don't mind if I teach you a bit when it comes to fighting Dracos, do you?"

He shook his head so she proceeded, "The form is wrong. You have a cocky air to you and the staff is of wrong material."

Robin's eyes widened before he yelled, "What am I suppose to do about that? You act like you are all high and mighty. Just show me what you got."

Krystal sighed, "Plus you get mad easily."

He yelled and charged her. Before he could even blink, she had him pinned an the mat by the throat.

She turned to Starfire, "Make sure the cameras are on so he learn from this."

Starfire nodded and done so.

Krystal turned back to Robin, "Now. What did you do wrong?"

Robin strained before he gave up, "What did I do wrong?"

She sighed, "First, you charged in blindly and you underestimated me. Second, you just gave up. You never give up when fighting a Draco."

Robin growled as she removed her hand, "Why are you lecturing me on this?"

Krystal sighed, "So you can be prepared for Robert. He and I are evenly matched but he uses tricks and dishonor."

Robin eyes widened before he bowed in respect, "I'm sorry for underestimating you. I didn't know your intentions."

She smiled, "Actually I should be the one who is sorry for being a jerk. Ashley would have been a lot worse by pointing them out by actually hitting you."

He smiled as well, "I guess I should be glad that I have then."

She laughed, "Totally. Ready for another round?"

He nodded and charged again.

Thirty minutes later....

Robin had an ice pack on his head while he listen to the radio. They had forty rounds total and all of them Krystal won. She said that he was improving but he didn't by till he can actually land more than five hits. There was a cramp in his neck and it was bother the hell out of him. He tried to stretch it till an icy cold hand came upon it. He jumped but saw it was Krystal.

She smiled, "You did good."

He tsked, "I only landed five hits on you in a row."

She laughed, "Trust me that is good. We still need to deal with your staff problem."

Robin's eyes narrowed as he remembered that round.

Flashback....

Robin had his staff out and was twirling it as Krystal just stood there. Everyone left about five minutes ago, including Slade. He charged and swung his staff to her. She stopped it with on a finger then grabbed it. She threw him across the room. He landed on his feet and charged her again. She sighed and kicked him. He blocked it but he skidded a few feet before the staff broke.

He stared at it in disbelief as she walked toward him. He threw the staff took a defensive stance. She stopped and walked toward where the staff was. She picked it up and stared at it.

She turned back to Robin, "Sorry about your staff."

He jumped, "Why are you apologizing? It's only a staff. I can get a new one."

Krystal smiled, "On my home planet, breaking someone's weapon is like breaking a part of that person. We strongly believe that weapons are a part of ourselves as long as we closecombat weapons."

He nodded, "It's alright. As I said, I can get a new one."

She frowned, "I'll get you a new one in a few days."

Robin fell, "Then it'll probably be too heavy for me to use."

She smiled again, "That's why I said a few days. A weapon has to comtemplate the owner's character. I have to know what you are like outside of the mat. In the meantime, try to get along with Slade."

He jumped, "What are you talking about?"

Krystal started laughing, "I heard you last night and I noticed you glaring at him this mourning."

Robin looked away shamefully till she spoke again, "I know it'll take some getting use to since he was your enemy but he's not right now so try to hang out with him."

He nodded as they prepared for another round.

End of flashback...

"So what do you need to know about?" he asked.

"Your origins," she said, "How did you become Robin?"

H.A.: ha ha Krystal kicked Robin's ass. Sorry Robin fans if you're mad but I had to get him off his high horse and accept Slade.
