Turnip stood beside Whispertowne's entrance as Robin got off the Robin-cycle (gosh that's so drag).
The town was empty. If you squinted, you would probably see tumble weed. The grass was now over grown, and gardens had weeds in them. Now that fall was rolling in, the trees' leaves were dying and falling of. The cold, nipping air only added to the melancholy of the dead town.
"You okay?" Robin asked and walked over to Turnip.
Turnip nodded and started walking into the town. "Can I show you where everything is?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah man." Robin said walked beside Turnip.
"Okay." Turnip said. "Do you see how instead of blocks of buildings like most towns there are only strips of land between the roads?"
"Yeah." Robin said.
"That's because everyone who lived here also worked here, so their business would be behind them facing the parallel street." (I can't really put that into words, sorry if its confusing you) Turnip said.
"So you don't need to get up early." Robin said. "Sounds pretty handy."
"There are only thirty buildings here, including houses." Turnip said and stopped walking. "Twenty homes and ten business buildings."
"Did everyone know each other?" Robin asked.
"Of course." Turnip smiled. "I could name all the businesses and all the families who lived here." Turnip said.
"Nuh uh." Robin smirked.
"Yeah huh." Turnip smiled.
"Do it." Robin challenged.
"Okay." Turnip said and grabbed Robin's hand. "We have to start at 001!" He laughed and ran towards the first building, dragging Robin with him.
"Okay." Turnip said, panting slightly when they reached the small building. "This was the post office." He said.
The building was a small, square building with thick blue stripe going across the length of the building. It was on the edge of the town, and behind it was acres of land and forest.
"Mrs. Henny worked here, and her husband was the mail man." Turnip said. He turned around and pointed to the small house to the right of the post office. "They lived right there. They were Genovese's parents." He said. He walked a few feet down the road.
"This was the clothes store." Turnip said. "Mrs. Felrey ran that. She lived on top of the store." Turnip said and took Robin's hand again. "She used to come over for dinner on Sundays after the afternoon sermon."
"Okay." Robin said and squeezed Turnip's hand.
Turnip turned around. "And that's the church." He said. "Pastor Lee and his wife Joyce ran it and also lived in the bottom floor. People would volunteer there." Turnip said. "I used to mow their lawn."
"I can't imagine you being able to push a mower." Robin teased.
"Shut up." Turnip said. He pointed to the other side of the street. "That's the gas station. Mr. Hal worked the whole thing by himself." He said. He gestured to the house behind it. "He and his daughter lived there.''
Robin followed Turnip down the road. "That was Mrs. Tucker's house. Her husband died a few months ago." He then pointed to the house next to it. "That was Mrs. Leonardo's house. She was also by herself." He pulled Robin down the road some more. After naming the houses and the grocery store he took Robin to the archery range.
They walked inside. "This is where I met Ollie." Turnip said softly.
"Did ya give him a scare?" Robin laughed.
"Kinda." Turnip said. "He wasn't really bothered when I shot and arrow past his face."
"Dude." Robin said. "Low blow."
"Yeah..." Turnip said and looked around the room. It was basically a huge garage full of targets. On the far side, a door lead into a small shoppe.
"Mr. Macntyre ran this place, his wife ran the retail shop."
"Do you want to shoot here for a minute?" Robin asked and hugged Turnip from behind.
"No." Turnip said. "I don't wanna mess anything up."
"Okay." Robin said and let go of Turnip.
"Come on..." Turnip said and walked out of the building.
"Where we going next?" Robin asked as be followed Turnip down the street.
"My old home." Turnip said. They walked up to a light blue home with a big backyard and a few targets in the front. A small stone path lead from the side walk (which they weren't using) to the front porch.
"Will you be okay if you go in?" Robin asked as they walked up to the door.
"I don't know." Turnip said and opened the door. The house was still the way he and Ollie had left it.
"How long did you live here?" Robin asked as he walked in behind Turnip.
"Four years." Turnip's said and turned to look at Robin. "They adopted me when I was nine."
Robin nodded and followed Turnip upstairs. Turnip stopped when he got to the top of the stairs. He didn't move for a second before turning around and looking at Robin.
"Hey," Robin said when he saw the depressed look on Turnip's face. "Do you need to be alone?" He asked. "I need to talk to Batman, anyway."
Turnip smiled weakly and nodded.
Robin grinned and kissed Turnip before going down stairs.
He quietly-well, as quietly as he could in the old, moaning house- headed back outside and called Batman on his comm.
"Batman here."
Ha, Batman always answers.
"Hey, bats." Robin said.
"Is everything under control?" Batman asked.
"Yeah." Robin answered.
"Where is Turnip?" Batman asked.
"He's upstairs."
"And you are~"
"Outside."
"You left him alone?" Batman growled.
"Uh yeah." Robin said, slightly confused. "Why? What's he gonna do?"
"He's emotionally compromised." Batman said.
"So?"
"Just find him before he hurts himself." Then he cut communication.
"Somebody has a bat up their ass..." Robin mumbled and ran inside.
"Turnip?" He called when he ran up the stairs.
"In here." He headed toward the small voice, which came from what looked like the master bedroom.
"Turnip?" Robin asked and stepped into the room.
Turnip was sitting in the middle of the bed. The bed's sheets were tossled and there was dried blood on them.
"Turnip?" Robin asked quietly and walked over to him.
Turnip looked up at Robin as tears spilled down his face.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked.
"This is where they died." Turnip whispered.
"Turnip..." Robin grabbed Turnip by the arms and pulled him off the bed. "Let's go."
"No..." Turnip moaned. He started crying harder and latched himself to Robin's neck.
Robin let Turnip cry for a minute before pulling him out of the room and walked him out of the house.
"Calm down." Robin said.
Turnip kept crying and fell to his knees.
"Dude." Robin kneeled down beside him. "C'mon, lets go."
"Wait, not yet." Turnip said and wiped his eyes on his sleeve and stood up, pulling Robin up as well.
"There's one more place I want to show you." Turnip said and pulled Robin toward the woods behind the house.
Robin silently followed behind him. A few minutes later, there was a small tree house. It was worn, and small wooden planks were nailed to the tree up to the entrance.
"Nice." Robin said as he looked up at the tree house.
Turnip nodded. "Come on." He said and pulled Robin toward the ladder.
"Okay okay, slow down!" Robin laughed as he was pulled over to the ladder. He followed Turnip up the ladder. The pegs moaned slightly, but were sterdy.
The inside of the tree house was plain. The walls where only about four feet up. Only half of the tree house had a ceiling. Turnip went to the side with out a roof and jumped onto the ceiling.
Robin moved over to the other side of the tree house so that he could see Turnip. When Robin stood up, he could see the wooden targets were hanging from tree branches on the surrounding the tree house.
"Your own range?" Robin asked.
"Yeah." Turnip said and pulled his bow off his shoulder. He pulled an arrow out of his quiver and mounted it. He shot it and in a second had another arrow mounted. In a few more seconds, he had shot all six targets, all bull's eyes.
"Good job." Robin smiled.
Turnip smiled at the praise. "We would usually bring up about 50 arrows."
"Why?" Robin asked as Turnip hopped off the roof and onto the tree house floor.
"Because we have to go down and her the when we're done." Turnip smiled and climbed down the ladder.
"Oh." Robin said dully as he followed Turnip down.
"Look." Turnip's said and walked over to one of the trees.
Robin walked over and saw that on the tree was a pully connected to the target. (A/n that zip line thingy that you pull and it brings something to you, or away)
Turnip pulled on the wire and brought down the target and his arrows.
"Ah." Robin said. "I'll get the rest.
"Okay." Turnip said as he pulled out his arrows from the wooden targets.
When they finished gathering the arrows, Robin and Turnip went back into the tree house.
"Come here." Turnip said and went back onto the small roof.
"Okay." Robin said and climbed onto the roof.
"Here." Turnip said and handed Robin his bow and an arrow.
"You want me to shoot?" Robin asked as took Turnip's bow and arrow.
"Yes." Turnip said and sat down on the roof beside Robin's feet.
"Alright..." Robin said and barely mounted the arrow correctly.
Turnip giggled.
"What?" Robin asked.
"Do you not know how to use a bow?" Turnip asked and got up again.
"Batman didn't think it was necessary." Robin mumbled.
"Its okay." Turnip said. "I'll teach you." He checked Robin's grip on the bow and adjusted Robin's fingers on the handle a little bit. "You only need to hold on with your top three fingers. And your shooting without the release, so you should have the back of the arrow snapped between the marks and between your middle and fore finger." Turnip said. "Because you were covering it up and your arrow wasn't attached to the right spot."
"Well fine." Robin said playfully. "Mr Smarty pants."
"Okay, pull back." Turnip said and stepped back.
Robin pulled the shooting string back easily.
"And..." Turnip stepped behind Robin so that his stomach was against Robin's back. "Put the little disk to the corner of your lips. Don't worry about the other one because the measurements are to fit me." He said. "And don't take the disc away from your mouth. Ever."
"Why not?" Robin asked.
Turnip smirked and gave Robin's cheek a long, lingering kiss. He pulled away and also kissed Robin's temple and jaw line.
"Oh." Robin said as Turnip kissed the side of his neck. "I see how it is."
Turnip giggled and lowered the bow from Robin's face and kissed him on the lips. He pulled away after a second.
"Draw your shooting string back again." He said.
"Tease..." Robin said and pulled back the string, putting the disc to the corner of his mouth.
"Now ignore the other disc and put the green peg in your sights on the target."
"Green peg?"
"Yes."
"Okay, but..." Robin said. "Can I have a good luck kiss?"
Turnip smiled and kissed Robin's cheek. "Good luck." He whispered and stepped back.
Robin looked through the sights and put the green peg over the target and tried to steady the bow.
"Just shoot or you'll get too tired to hold your spot." Turnip advised.
"Kay," Robin said and shot the arrow, the shooting string hitting his arm as it flew.
"Fuck!" Robin said and held his arm.
Turnip laughed. "I would have told you that your elbow was in the way, but I didn't think you would learn anything."
"Dude!" Robin said and handed Turnip the bow. "That hurt!"
"I-I'm sorry..." Turnip said. "I didn't think it would hurt that bad..." He added quietly.
"I'm fine." Robin sighed and lifted up his sleeve to look at the red skin on his arm. "I'll live."
"I'm sorry..." Turnip said as he got off the roof and onto the tree house floor.
Robin looked at Turnip as he got off the roof and saw that he was close to tears. "Its okay, Turnip. Now that I think about it, it was kind of funny."
"You're not mad?" Turnip asked as he set his bow down.
Robin grabbed Turnip and pulled him against himself. "Course not." He said and kissed Turnip's lips. He put his hands on Turnip's hips.
Turnip wrapped his arms around Robin's neck.
"Whoa, you guys together?"
"WALLY!" Robin yelled when he heard Wally speak. He and Turnip stepped away from each other.
"I came to tell you guys that you needed to head back soon." Wally said. He was standing on the ladder and looking into the tree house. "Didn't know I'd be interrupting something..."
"Its fine kf," Robin said. "But please don't tell anybody."
"We're not ready." Turnip added and hugged Robin from behind.
"Sure," Wally said. "If you don't tell anyone about me and Conner."
"Wait what?"
"Ha!" Wally laughed. "Kidding. That's M'gann's job. Artemis and I like kissed or something, so I think we're together now but I don't know..."
"Wally's got a girlfriend." Robin teased as Turnip butted out of the conversation and started to kiss Robin's neck.
"Turnip's getting affectionate, so..." Wally said awkwardly. "Bye!" And he was gone.
"We should get going, Turnip." Robin said. "Don't give me a hicky!"
"Okay." Turnip said and picked up his arrows.
"Alright, lets go...girlfriend."
SLAP
"OW!"
