Chapter Seven: Spinning Back

Where ever she was she didn't show up at school. A day went by and Batman reassured them that he would find her and talk some sense into her, if they didn't do it first. But then another day went by and another and there was no sign of her. It was like she never existed.

They tried as bad they could to get the thought of her standing there with tears in her eyes out of their minds and kept themselves busy to stop thinking of it. But Robin seemed the worst out of all of them, not that he showed it. Like his mentor, he was a master (or apprentice) at hiding feelings like that with a mask. But at night, her mask was tightly in his hand. Bruce had found his adoptive soon sleeping with the little green mask tightly in his hand.

The absence of Wini affected them all. But they went on with their jobs.

Robin sat on one of the beds, ready for the simulation training. He held the green mask in one of his hands. When Wally pointed it out the younger boy told him it was a good luck charm, with a small sad smile.

Laying down he closed his eyes and clutched the mask tightly.

I had got myself a small motel room and locked myself inside it, closing the curtains and bolting the door. The jewels I had stolen before I met the Justice League had got me a few days in the room. I curled up in my bed and hid under the sheets. I didn't want to ever leave again.

I felt betrayed and an overall awful person. Giselle left me again, this time I was sure she just left while I was busy with Red Arrow. And that guy was an asshole and Giselle ate him up, flirting with him the entire time they fought and pinning him to the ground. When the game was up she let me get snatched by him and dragged to the last place I wanted to be, Red getting away with the pink diamond.

Not only that but I was sure I hurt everyone in that room when Red Arrow dropped me on the floor. I didn't want to face Bruce and tell him why I went back to my old ways, he wouldn't understand. And Dick. Ugh, I didn't even want to show my face around him or Robin. I was sure they hated me just as much as everyone else for what I did.

I hadn't eaten in four days, not since I first left the Wayne manor and went to stay at Giselle's. She never had any food anyway so I didn't eat there and I never left my motel room (which I had been curled up in for two days). My stomach stopped growling and I was a tad thirsty.

I slipped from my covers and learnt how to walk again. Stumbling into the bathroom I poured myself a glass of water and drank it plus three more. Setting the cup down, I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pale and my eyes had big red circles under them. My hair was tangled and messy. I was still wearing my Black Widow suit.

I stepped out of it and tossed it into the bathtub. My ribs were starting to poke out of my sides again. I sighed and glanced into my toiletry bag. My razor stuck out like a sore thumb in my saddened eyes. Taking it in my hands I looked it over before taking it apart. Slipping a single blade between my fingers I held it to my wrist.

Gazing up at my miserable reflection a thought accrued to me.

Robin.

I missed him. I wanted to fall to his knees and beg for forgiveness that I didn't deserve. All I wanted was his warm arms around me, holding me tight and telling me it was alright, everything would be fine. But I was here, in that dingy motel room holding a razor to my wrist, ready to cut. A tear slid down my cheek.

Robin…

I tossed the razor into the sink and ran back into the bedroom. Fumbling through my things I pulled out some clothes and changed into a plain top and jeans. Tugging my hair into a high pony tail, I juggled brushing my teeth and pulling on my shoes, while doing my hair at the same time. Stuffing everything into my bags, I collected my things and left. Not looking back at the black and red costume still in the bathtub or the razor in the sink, tinted a little with my blood.

And the door shut behind me.

Robin sat up, sweating and panting. It was so real! Everyone dying and his death… it was too much. He put a hand to his forehead and let out a long breath. The green mask was still in his hand, his knuckles white.

"You still have it." Came a voice in front of him.

He looked up and was staring into a pair of dull green eyes. Red hair spilled down and acted like a curtain around their faces. His mouth dropped open. It… it couldn't be…

"Wini…" he gasped, reaching out to touch her cheek.

She flinched and sat back, looking away. She opened her mouth to say something then closed it again, thinking against it.

Everyone in the room (save for Batman and the other Superheroes) were surprised to see her there. Happy nonetheless. They were silent; waiting to see what would happen between Wini and Robin, after all her departure was hardest on him. But from the way Wini looked, Robin wasn't the only one that took it hard. She looked so pale and sickly.

"Robin, I'm… I…" she began but Robin leant forward and put his hands over hers.

She let out a tiny gasp and looked up. Through his sunglasses she could see his bright blue eyes, but she couldn't read them.

"I'm glad you're safe." Is all he said. He leant forward, like he was going to kiss her, then rested his lips on her cheek. "I'm so glad."

He rested his head on her shoulder and she wrapped her arms around him.

"I won't leave again." Little did she know, but that promise would later be a lie.

Please Review! I love them and they actually kept me writing this. So, thank you! X
