Okay, thanks for the reviews, but only five! That's just weak guys. I'm rooting for at least nine or ten this time! In the last chappie, you found out Robin's eye color and his real name. Now the team is trying to take it all in.
Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg all sat at the table in the corner of the room. "I can't believe Robin is Dick Grayson," Cyborg said. Beast Boy started chuckling at the name, and everyone gave him the death stare. He quickly shut up. "Please, why is this name known by everyone but me?" Starfire asked, desperately wanting to know. "Richard John Grayson whose nick name was Dick, was a kid who grew up in the circus. His family's trapeze act was called The Flying Graysons. One night, someone by the name of Zuco took the bolts off the trapeze so it would break. When the trapeze wires broke, Dick's parents fell and died." Raven said with a sad look on her face. Starfire had a fist over her mouth and was trying to hold back tears. "But, luckily someone was watching over him. Bruce Wayne took him in as a son."
"Wait, Robin was adopted by Bruce Wayne, then Bruce Wayne is Batman!" Cyborg exclaimed. "That provides an explanation for why Robin said 'Bru-'before he said Batman when Beast Boy did the prank call." Starfire said. "Dudes," Beast Boy said. "ROBIN IS LIKE, A MILLIONARE AND HE NEVER TOLD US!" Everyone just gave him a look. "Who is this, Barbra that the magazine speaks of?" Starfire asked with her arms crossed. "What's the matter Star?" Beast Boy asked smirking. "Jealous?" Cyborg said. Starfire got so mad, she zapped them with starbolts, sending them tumbling into the sofa. Raven's blank expression never left her face while she put out a hand and high fived Starfire. When they walked back over, Cyborg asked, "Wasn't there a rumor that Robin was in love with Batgirl?"
"Oh yeah!" Beast Boy said. "That means Barbra Gordon must be Batgirl!" Everyone just sat there, letting the information sink into their brains. Suddenly, Starfire got up and left the table. "Where are you going?" Raven asked her. "To see Robin." She replied. "I hope he is all right."
BREAK LINE
In his room, Robin was yelling at himself."Why did I open my eyes?" he asked himself angrily. "Just by seeing my eyes, they can find out way too much! They know my eye color, my name, what next?" Robin was yelling was yelling so loud, he almost didn't hear the knock on the door. "Robin? It is I Starfire. I wish to speak to you."
"Not now Star, I need to talk this through….."
"Perhaps I could be the one to do the 'talking this through' with." She said. Suddenly, Robin's door opened. "Come in." he said flatly. Starfire entered and flew over to his bed and sat next to him. He still had no mask on, and Starfire could see he was unhappy."So," he asked. "What do you guys know?" Starfire wrapped her fingers around her chin in thought. "Well, we know your name and your eye color quite obviously, Batman's true identity, and that the girl on the front of that magazine is Batgirl." Robin was frowning, still not believing he'd let this happen. "Robin?" Starfire asked him. "Yeah?" he replied. "Are you and this Barbra Gordon girl, in a relationship?" she asked nervously. "A relationship? With Barbra? No, we hung out a lot because we went to the same school and because of the superhero thing. I did have a crush in her for a long time….." he said. Starfire looked down at her feet depressingly. "But that was before I met you." he said smiling at her. She smiled and let a very quiet sigh of relief escape her mouth and he smiled wider. Then he frowned. "Do you know about my," Robin started to say. Starfire finished his sentence. "Parents? Yes Robin, we do." Robin looked at the floor sadly. Just the thought of his parents made him want to cry. A tear slowly rolled down his cheek and Starfire squeezed his shoulder for comfort. "Robin, there is nothing bad about telling us who you are…."
"No, it's not that Star, it's just that if anyone were to find out who I really am, they'd know everything. Like how you guys found out everything. If one of our foes were to know everything like that, they could destroy me, or worse, Bruce. Plus, everyone knows me as Robin, The Boy Wonder. If everyone knew who I really am, they'd see me as the rich kid, the circus freak, the dork." He said. Starfire look at him sympathetically. "Robin, no one thinks of you like that."
"Wanna bet? Before I was Robin, I was just a sad little kid. I got called a lot of things at school, my childhood just wasn't great."
"Robin, no one thinks of you like that here. I do not believe we knew you before, so we know you as out leader, a fearless human who will take great risks to save his friends. A sweet, caring boy that will explain things to me when I am confused, a person who will let me hide behind their cape when I am afraid or scared, that is the Robin we and mostly I know and love."Starfire finished saying. "And if any person wishes to call you those names, they will have to run through me."
"It's GO through me Star," Robin said chuckling."Oh," Starfire said embarrassed. Robin smiled. "Thanks for the talk Star, I feel a lot better now."
"It was no trouble at all Robin." Then they hugged. It lasted a while, until Starfire got up and walked to the door. "Star?" Robin asked her. Starfire turned around. "Do you wanna, you know, go to see a movie on Friday?" Starfire smiled brightly. "Yes Robin, I will gladly accompany you to the theater." Then Starfire left. Robin fell back onto his bed, feeling like the luckiest guy in the world. He then walked over to his mirror. "Hey Dick," he said to himself. "How's it goin'?" Robin didn't recognize himself. He frowned and went to his closet and grabbed a fresh mask. He went into the bathroom and opened a drawer. He was surprised when he didn't feel what he was looking for. "Where's my mask adhes…. GUYS!"
