Blood Stained Hands

by Tears of the Moon 17

A woman was murdered last night but that isn't what's bothering the team. It's how it seems that that murder is somehow connected to Robin's past. Invading his privacy, they find out that it's possible that Robin hadn't always been a good guy ... Rated because I'm paranoid.

Chapter 4

" . . . And he hung up," Superboy finished, noting Robin's sigh in his room.

M'gann frowned. "What does that mean?"

"It means we're being lied to," Artemis snapped, her hands in fists.

Kid Flash grimaced. "Hey, we shouldn't-"

"Robin just opened his door," Superboy interrupted, his eyes on the TV.

Everyone scurried back to where they had been before Superboy had told them he was listening to Robin. Aqualad and Artemis quickly sat down and pretended to play their abandoned chess game.

Kid Flash went back to the kitchen to his forgotten sandwich, shoved it down his throat and quickly put his earbuds that were connected to IPod Touch in his ears. He turned on his music and tried to drown his feelings of guilt of what he wasn't telling the team.

M'gann went back to meditating, uncomfortable with the fact that not only Robin had lied to them but that they had PROOF of it also.

Sensing Robin's mind coming closer, M'gann forced herself to shove those thoughts away. If Robin spoke to her, she would have to pretend like she didn't know what he had dicussed with whoever this Bruce person was.

Seconds later, Robin came into the living but passed his teammates without sparing them a glance. It was almost as if his body was on autopilot or that he was lost in thought.

Either way, their fears of Robin somehow knowing that Superboy listened in on his conversation was for naught.

Breathing a sigh of relief, M'gann stopped pretending to meditate and stood up. Artemis and Aqualad stopped pretending to play chess and Superboy tore his eyes away from the TV.

Kid Flash, however, kept listening to his music. He knew if he got involved in their conversation, he would have to pretend to be angry and betrayed like the rest of them.

But he wasn't.

Because he wasn't in the dark as they thought.

A/N- What? Kid Flash knows more than you all thought? Who would have guessed? :) I know it's evil to leave you guys there but it'll make you crave the next chapter. :) Please review! This was published on 2-25-12 with the length of 471 words.
