Robin x Raven
My Hero
Raven stared at the back of the Titan leader's head for the majority of the climb. It wasn't as if she found his head interesting, it was just that she was deep in thought. Although she was in the form of a small child, and claimed that she didn't remember Robin, she remembered him...and everything that happened.
They both were silent as Robin climbed the cliff and she held on to his back. Why did he come all of this way for me? she thought, He could have saved himself…and the others…
"How about a story? To pass the time?" Robin said, interrupting her thoughts.
Raven's eyes widened at the sound of his voice and she nodded.
"This is the story of Raven," he started, as he continued climbing. "She was my very good friend. And she was very brave. Together we fought evil. We beat monsters and villains, and we kept our city safe."
Tears came to Raven's eyes and she wiped them away. He was such a good friend.
"But even though she was doing good, Raven was always afraid that deep down inside, she was bad. See, from the day she was born, people told her that someday, something terrible was going to—"
He paused as he heard a rumble beneath them. Raven held him tighter. Please, protect me Robin.
The rumbling became louder, and rocks began to fall. Shortly after, Raven was tumbling after them. She screamed, waiting to plunge into the stream of lava beneath them, but Robin, as always, was right after her, and caught his friend in his strong arms.
"You okay?" he asked.
He saved me...as always...
