Ookami: ok so I was unsure whether to leave off here or continue. So read to find out! and sorry its so short!
The red glowing numbers of digital clock mocked me in the silent dark of the room.
It was 3:12 in the morning. Yes I was used to work at the hours because of Batman, but a completely diffrent reason kept me from the clutches of a well deserved sleep. The fight with Wal- Kid Flash tore me apart.
There was so much I wanted to tell him. Batman be damned! If telling him about me would keep him here abd make this pain disappear. I would gladly do so.
I learned later on that Superboy wasn't even here. Turns out that Batman and Superman needed him for something.
Explaims why he wasn't wondering what the yelling was about. With him having super hearing and all.
Looking back at the clock on nightstand it told me that it was 3:22.
One question rang through my head the entire night.
Why?
Why didn't we try harder. No matter how intelligent I may be the simplest question's answer eludes me. Taking a shuttering breath I sit up.
Reaching over to my laptop, I pulled it open. Going straight to icon that would instantly connect me to Bruce.
I hesitated over the trapt pad before clicking on it.
Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath in a quick attempt to calm myself.
"Robin?" It was not deep and gruff as was Batman but not quite smooth like Bruce.
Inwardly I chuckled, even half asleep he still was all about the secret identity.
"Ba-...Bruce." I took another deep breath to calm myself.
That caught his attention. I never call him that unless I'm truly upset or depressed. Now fully awake and sitting, up he looked at me more clearly.
"I can't do this...this team thing. Can I come home?"
God I sound like a whiny child, but right now all I want is my dad. I'm only thirteen despite how mature I may act.
"Ro-Dick...you were one of the ones who vehemently wanted the Young Justice. What happened?" Calm as ever.
I think he could watch Alfred and the Joker have hot dirty sex and still be cool as a cucumber. I shuttered at the mental images.
I bit my lower lip, something I only do when I really stressed, and just shook my head.
"Not here, please I can't."
His facial expression softened and nodded solomly, "Alright I'm to far away at the moment. I will be home in two days time. That is the earliest I can be there."
I opened my mouth to argue, after all I could look after myself plus Alfred was there, but that not get me anywhere.
As if sencing it he spoke up," You know as well as I do what happened when you were like this and left alone."
"Yes sir I know" I replyed softly.
"Good get some sleep..." I reached to close the laptop before Bruce's voice came through once again, " Love you kid."
I smiled knowing he couldn't see it from this angle, "Love you too."
And just like that I shut the laptop down and set it side. Curled up under the blankets now I fell into a decent sleep.
It was Aqualad that woke me up. He banged on my door until I responded with grunt.
"Black Canary needs us for training."
Not trusting my voice I just gave a sort of noise as an acknowledgedment. When I could hear his foot steps echo down the hallway I knew it was safe to get up.
Moving to the adjacent bathroom I realized I looked like hell . My hair was tussled, and not in the good sense. Eyes red and puffy from endless hours of crying.
I knew that in some way if I refused to go out there that He would win the unknown war he started. So I'm going for the good ole' fashion grin an' bare it route.
Stripping down I quickly washed away last night pain.
Within a few minutes in was physically prepared and about mentally prepared as I was going to be.
By time I got to the training area everyone else was there and waiting.
"look who's late now eh Robin?" His smug voice carried out through the cave.
I never wanted to so badly hit someone in my thirteen years of life.
Black Canary stepped forward silencing any reply that I or someone else might have had.
"Ok quite down. Last night I was in contact the rest of the Legue, and although the last few missions were a success. We feel like you don't know that much about fully cooperate with one and other."
At this we all looked around at one at eachother. Nervous of what we were supposed to do about this. I especially since I wouldn't be much longer.
"How is this going to work?" Asked the dark skinned teen.
Her brows furrowed as if she was in deep thought.
"Well... since there is six of us, including me, I decided that we'll split up into groups. Get to know each other and then at the end of the day we all gather and share."
Everyone just sigh and groan. Spending anymore time with each other than necessary was a pain.
She glared at each and everyone of us, "If this operation you have going is to remain active then I suggest getting to know the person who you're supposed to trust with your lives."
I had to give her that. It was a valid point that she had going.
"Now, I will be with Aqualad and Superboy. Kid Flash, M'gann, and Robin will be the other."
And now she lost her point. Ther is no way in hell I was going to get to know either one of them more than I already know!
Before I got a chance to say anything Black Canary was heading towards another part of the cave with the aqua teen and super boy trailing close behind.
Sighing I turned and look at the two before resigning myself to this awkward and most likely pain filled next few hours.
