This couldn't be happening. He came to Mount Justice to escape the embarrassment of having done those poses for Maggie the other day. Even more so when Bruce gave him the 'The Talk' for 3 straight hours. His mind was forever burned. Even Alfred would give a passing thought about hormones and that he too went through the phases a long time ago. That just made him feel even worse. It was just a photoshoot and now they were treating him like he was... He wasn't sure what to think about the subject. Going to Barbara's house was out of the question, because he would have been mauled by rabid fangirls from all corners of Gotham. So to escape this torture he went to the only other place he could be safe from hormonal fangirls and concerned adults.
Poor Robin didn't know how wrong he was.
So here he was in the living room at Mount Justice surrounded by his friends, except he wasn't having any fun. At all. Not with his four female teammates oogling over his pictures in the magazine that somehow made it's way into Mount Justice. His best friend Wally, currently clutching his stomach and gasping for breath was rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. After all, he was the only one who knew the true identity of Robin and that the girls were crazy about him, well his pictures anyway, which made it all the funnier.
"W-Where did you get t-that?" Robin squeaked from his position on one of the couches, but the girls either ignored him or didn't hear over their giggles. He had been trying valiantly to control his blushing, but he couldn't keep it up, not with the girls verbally expressing their thoughts on each picture or reading the published article.
Artemis who was holding the magazine read aloud in a hyperly fan girl voice:
"The Prince of Gotham has once again caught the world's attention. Not because of his excellent people skills, or his status as Billionaire Bruce Wayne's Ward. But by his ability to woo the ladies with a single look. Everywhere, teenage girls are falling "head over heels" for our own Gothamite." Eyes wide behind the sunglasses, Robin tried to remain calm and sit comfortably. But it was hard to do when the girls wouldn't shut up.
"Man, I'd like a piece of that!" Raquel interjected followed by a "mmhmmm" from M'gann. The temperature in the room just got a few degrees hotter as Robin hid his face in his hands. He felt a headache coming on from all the blood rushing to his face.
"Me too! He's hot, and just look at those abs!" Zatanna squealed pointing to the picture of him in the black V-neck causing the others to squeal as well. His hand was up his shirt exposing his stomach muscles with a satisified expression on his face.
"Uh uh! I'm too busy oogling that sexy chest of his. I didn't think he could be this sexy. He always seemed like a shrimp. But now, I don't know if I can resist glomping him the next time I see him." Artemis hummed, biting her thumb while pointing at a smaller version of the cover photo. Poor Robin looked like he was about to cry.
"Wait! Listen to this: "I interviewed several girls from the "Richard Grayson Fanclub". These girls' responses consisted of squealing answers that I could hardly understand. In summary, they threatened to kidnap young Grayson should he venture out on his own at any point for the next few years. So fellow Gothamite's, if he disappears this time, we'll all know just where to find him. Keep your eyes peeled Bruce and you too Richard." Zatanna read with a huge grin on her face. "Count me in on the kidnapping!" The girls all laughed at her comment. But Robin just rubbed his temples.
"Mmmmm! Check out those muscles." M'gann said with a blushing face as she stared at another photo. Robin sunk further into the couch letting the cushions swallow him up. Conner, who sat next to him, looked quizzically at his girlfriend before inspecting his own muscles. With a shrug of his shoulders, he returned his attention to the scribbly screen.
"ĂȘtre provoquants*, advertised by Richard Grayson is the best-selling cologne of the year. It is predicted that its demand will leave the shelves bare in a matter of weeks, or maybe days with the number of fans crowding the stores." The girls giggled again while M'gann dug in her purse. She then held up a small bottle of cologne. "Lookie what I got!" She wiggled it in her hand before spraying it in the air. The girls all sniffed the air and hunched down on the couch with lovestruck faces. "Man, that's wonderful!" They all said at the same time.
"Stupid hormones..." Robin muttered as he peeked at his teamates sniffing the air again.
"Wait, check this out girls!" Raquel shouted before yanking the magazine from Zatanna's hands. "Madam Penderguilly, who on several occasions hosted her charity events throughout Gotham said "Young Richard Grayson is such a darling boy. I just can't stop myself from pinching his cheeks everytime I see him!" Robin lifted his head from his hands and made a disgusted face at the floor while sticking his
tongue out. None of the girls saw this for they continued focusing on the magazine while squealing again. However, Wally saw this reaction and burst out laughing again as he rolled from side to side still clutching his gut.
"Awwww! I wanna pinch his cheeks too!" M'gann shouted with a huge blush on her face. Robin's eyes grew wide and his hands flew up to cover his red cheeks. Wally chortled at this point. Tears falling from his eyes. How much more embarrassment could the poor boy take?
The next picture they oogled over was him resting his head on his arm. He was still in the V-neck. "Look at those big guns!" Artemis touched his biceps with her pointer finger.
"In a few more years our young Prince will be the most sought after bachelor in Gotham, maybe even the world. Unless the White Knight himself has anything to say about that." said Lois Lane from Metropolis." M'gann read after swipping the magazine from Raquel who was about to slap M'gann silly until Artemis quickly read another sentence.
"My Girlfriend, among every other girl in Gotham suddenly wants to marry that little..." said a local highschooler on his way to school." All the girls clapped their hands and shook in a huddled position as they screetched like banshies. At least that's was Robin thought.
"Do you really have to talk about this right now! Why can't we do something else." Robin squeaked in embarassment. Failing to hid his blush.
"What! He's young, sexy, and rich! What better combination is there. We'd be set for life." Zatanna exclaimed with her hands in the air and earning a groan from the boy as the color drained from his face at this phrase.
"Your just jealous that you don't have a fantastic bod like this!" Raquel mocked Robin while pointing to the pictures. The boy wonder only smirked. She didn't know how wrong she was.
Wally, somewhat calming down from his bout of laughter lay on the floor looking between Robin and the girls. A huge smile plastered on his face. "Hey girls, which one is your favorite?" he asked with a smirk seeing Robin's body stiffen at the question and give him a batglare. He had a feeling he knew which one it was. When Robin looked at them again, the girls were all grinning and pointing to the cover page. Robin face-palmed.
"I don't know whether or not to just maul him." Artemis breathed with a slight blush on her face. 'Bloody fangirls' Robin groaned again trying to decided the best maneuvers for evasive action. The next sentence however, caused Robin to stop all thought process and stare dumbfounded at the girls.
"It won't be long before Gotham City gets its newest playboy..." To his dismay, Zatanna just had to read it aloud. For at that exact moment, Batman entered the room. Upon hearing that sentence, he stopped dead in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at Robin, making the girls and Wally stop their laughter. Somewhere a thousand puppies just died. Conner, however, was unfazed by the moment of near-death experiences caused by the notorious batglare and continued watching the fuzzy screen.
The young boy now resembled another moose in the headlights as the temperature just dropped like 500 degrees . He whipped his ready-to-explode head around to see his mentor giving him THE batglare. Robin gulped before quickly jumping off the couch and running full speed out of the room and down the hallway with an angry Daddybats hot on his trail. The girls, broken from their shock went back to giggling and squealing about their unrecognized partner in crime fighting. Wally's hysterical laughter could be heard throughout the entire mountain for the rest of that day, while Robin had the pleasure of enjoying another mind-numbing 'Talk'.

So what y'all think? Was it good? Personally, I like the first chapter much better, but this one was enjoyable to write as well.
For anyone interested, I have a few more stories on their way. Some are more intense than others, In fact, one has a major twist at the end.
