Muhahahha!~ I really wished I owned this, but unfortunately, Batman belongs to other people, not me. Same with Harry Potter. What's this?! Who's the new guy? Are we not humorous enough for the masses? I AM SPARTA! Hi! I am [insert backround name here] Nice to meet you! I like to knock people into wells. W-well, that's nice... You know who else like to knock people into wells? #2, Don't...! Grant Ward. *Le Gasp*
"Not ready, my arse." Robin muttered angrily under his breath, and he shoved his hands into his pockets as he walked out of the Bat Cave in the cover of the evening fading light. Of course it was raining, as it does often in Gotham, almost getting as much rainfall as England.
Robin stopped in his irritated walking, staring morosely into a quickly forming puddle in one of the many potholes littering the street. He didn't even notice the char marks around the pothole's edges, or that the blemish on the asphalt had most definitely not been there the day before.
He was quite upset. And the reason for that was because Bruce Wayne -AKA Batman, if ya ain't in the know- didn't trust him enough to let him go out on patrol alone. Robin just did not understand how Batman couldn't see how strong he was already, and that he wasn't the same weak, dumb kid trying to do what was right.
The boy scoffed and stepped roughly into his reflection on the water's surface as he continued walking down the street, dressed all in black, and with determination in his every step.
Robin smiled softly, knowing that he was going to be in so much trouble later, but he couldn't stay under Bruce's wing forever. Sometimes, a fledgling needs to learn to fly. "And I'm going to soar, just watch me, old man." He slipped into the shadows in a dark alley, unnoticed by anyone.
Thirty Minutes To A Half An Hour Later~
"-Is this not the Chinese takeaway?" Robin said, plastering on his best innocent smile. The woman in front of him clearly peered right through the act, and raised an amused blond eyebrow at the tween.
This was bad. What if the woman turns him in to the other villains at the strange party-thing? What if- wait.
"You're the witch that came from another dimension…!" Robin winced, he really hadn't meant to say that out loud. Crapturds. Welp, he was more doomed than a firebender who couldn't swim who got stranded in the middle of the ocean. With his hands tied behind his back. And a dozen sharks.
Surprisingly, the blond merely smiled serenely at him. Her eyes slightly glassy as they looked in his general direction. "That is correct. I'm guessing you got that from a street camera?" Robin blinked at her, but before he could confirm -or more likely, deny- her statement, she continued speaking in her strange, slightly unfocused tone of voice. "I'm Luna Lovegood. Pleasure." Luna held out a friendly hand, a hand that didn't even contain a joy buzzer.
"...Robin." The young-boy-but-not-quite-a-teenager introduced himself after a slight hesitation.
He accepted her handshake with no small amount of confusion. That confusion didn't dissipate in the least bit as she smiled and started to walk away with a merry whistle. Robin stared after her retreating form for all of four and a half seconds, before he hurried to walk next to her. Suddenly curious about how different she was acting than any of the other stereotypical super-villains.
Once he caught up to Luna, he started his questions, no longer able to contain his curiosity. "Er, so you're not going to, like, string me up over a tub of acid and hold me for ransom? Or chain a bomb on me and drop me off at a crowded football stadium? Or various other cliché things that villains always do, if only for the sake of repeating well loved classics?"
"Nope." Luna responded cheerfully as she continued to stroll along.
Robin hesitated. He was really starting to doubt the sanity of this lady. And for a second he considered just leaving while he could, but then he remembered what he was here for. Robin was going to show to his mentor that he could take care of himself. And what better way to do that than to find out more about the strange dimension-traveling magic-user?
Shrugging his shoulders, Robin followed her down the hallway, regardless of any consequences. He had never been one to shy away from adventure. And adventure was most definitely one of the things that he'd find while hanging around Luna Lovegood.
Oh, Snap!~
A group of three women watched from behind a half closed doorway, two smirking at what they had come across, and what they could accomplish with the new information they had just gathered. And the third yawning tiredly, wishing she was back at home, sleeping peacefully.
"Whoop!~ This is definitely going to be fun!" Harley Quinn grinned widely in anticipation. Poison Ivy smirked savagely, plans of ruthless revenge going through her head. It was only a matter of time.
"How about we all just go home and take a nap? Yes, that sounds like a great idea. Let's all do that." Selina Kyle said in a bored tone, idly checking her nails. The other two, more insane members of the trio ignored her inclusion, as usual.
"Whatever. Ignore me, then." She scoffed. Even though Catwoman was a villain, she still cared for Batman, and for Robin. She only hoped that the kid wouldn't get too hurt in the crossfire of the other women's jealousy.
But seriously, it really was about time that that kid went through his rebellious phase. Poor, poor Batman. Teenage angst really was the worst.
