but here you go!
Disclaimer: i don't own anything that is not mine.
Artemis P.O.V.:
I walk into Robin's clean room, and wait for him to close the door. He walks over and sites on his bed then gestates for me to sit in the chair by his desk. I take my seat and then look at him.
"So, Arty, what can I do for you?" He asks, with a raised eyebrow.
"I wanted to talk to you." I answer.
"Well I got that much." I could almost hear him roll his eyes. "What do you want to talk to me about?" He asked again.
Here we go. I think to myself before speaking up. "Well..." I sigh. "Me and Zatanna know about your brother." I blurt out, not being able to think of anything else to say.
To be honest I was kind of scared of what his reaction might be, but he just sate there staring at me for a moment.
"I know." He finally said.
Now I was confused. "Wait you knew?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said crossing his arms. "But I don't know how you know." I could hear a bit of anger in his voice. "So how much do you know, and why do you feel like you need to talk to me about this?"
I look down not being able to look him in the eye, or glasses, or whatever. "Well I know he's 21, and his name is Mark."
he raised an eyebrow. "That's it?" He asked.
"Well not really. I also know that he- um- kind of abandoned you and your family when you were 7." I heard him take in a sharp breath.
"And why do you think you should talk to me about this?" Now he was looking down as well.
"It's just..." I stop for a moment trying to find the words for what I wanted to say. "Look I don't know your brother, and I don't want you to think that I'm jumping to conclusions, but I don't think you should get to attached."
When he didn't say anything I continued.
"About two years ago my sister Jade came back home after being gone for years. She wanted to have a place in me and my mom's life. I was so blinded by the fact that I had her back that it just hurt more when she left again."
I look up at him to see he is still looking at the ground.
"What makes you think that he's going to abandon me again?" I can hear a slight quiver in his voice.
This is getting of hard.
"They never stay." I say after a moment. "If they left once their going to leave again."
"He's not going to leave me again!" his voice holds certainty but I can tell he doesn't believe it fully.
"Maybe not, but you can never be sure. When jade left again it started with her not answering my texts, then she wouldn't pick up her phone, then she just disappeared."
I jumped when Robin suddenly shot up to his feet. "What makes you think that you can just come in here and say this?!" He raises his voice to a yell.
"I'm sorry I just-"
"Just nothing! You don't know my family, you don't know my brother! You can't jump to conclusions!" he pointed an accusing finger at me.
"Did you ever think that maybe Jade left because she is a criminal? Mark is not an assassin he's not the bad guy. And he is not going to leave me!"
I look wide eyed at him as he shakes with rage.
"Robin-"
"No just get out!" He shouts and points to the door. "Now."
I slowly get up from the chair and walk out of his room.
I flinch when the door slams so hard I thought it might fall off it's hinges.
"Well I see you got what you deserve." I look up to see wally standing in front of me. He looked at me with disappointment. "I'm just sad Zatanna wasn't here to get some of that." And with that he walked past me and over to Robin's door. He began to knock on it, trying to get his friend to open up, but the door stayed firmly closed.
Man I really screwed that up.
In robin's room:
Robin shrinks down to the floor once he slams the door on Artemis. Hot tears rolling down his face. Could Artemis be right? Is Mark going to leave me again? Is that why he blocked my number?
someone is knocking on the door, but Robin ignores it.
He's losing he brother and he can't stop it. Robin curls into himself. How could this be happening again?
