This chapter is short but I had to get this small bit out before I could continue on smoothly, sorry I have been neglecting this story. The characters took off on vacation on me and I was left going duh while staring at a blank screen so here is the lil bit and I promise there is more to come! Please leave review!
Batman handed the computer to Superman and turned to follow his protégé once the shock had worn off. The team all looked between each other and then at the adults.
"Debrief them canary", was all he said before vanishing down the hall.
Following the halls he came to Robin's room and entered without knocking, the boy was sitting on the end of his bed with his head hanging low. Closing the door behind him Batman removed his mask, knowing Dick needed Bruce not Batman right now.
"I cant do this anymore…", he looked up slowly.
"Are you sure this is what you want?", Robin rubbed the back of his neck as if thinking but nodded.
"Im done, I don't want to be Robin…anymore", his shoulders shook as he answered.
"If that is your decision, then I will stand by you", Robin reached up and removed his domino mask, looking down at it for a moment he stood. Walking to Bruce he handed him the mask and nodded.
"Its what I need to do", releasing the mask he turned to start packing as Bruce looked down at the mask and closed his eyes. It was Dick's decision, and as his father Bruce had to respect it. But it bothered him slightly, all he ever wanted was for Dick to not fight and be a normal teenager, and now that he got what he wanted, he realized he didn't want it at the price it came.
Wally looked up from his shoes as Dick turned to him and rubbed the back of his head, his dark glasses covering his eyes. He was dressed in street clothes and a back pack was thrown over his shoulder, a duffle bag currently in Batman's hand as he waited. The team looked like some one had died, but in a way someone had, Robin. There was no more boy wonder, he had hung up his cape and mask.
"Listen man, maybe ill see you around sometime", Dick's voice was low as he spoke to Wally. He was as lost as him as to where their friendship would go now that Dick was no longer a part of the team.
"Yeah, you know how to get a hold of me", he stuffed his hands into his pockets as Dick nodded. This was so hard, he was saying good bye to his best friend.
"About earlier K.F.-".
"We're good, still tight", he put his right arm forward and Dick grabbed his elbow as he grabbed his, the hug was quick but meant everything from 'Im sorry' to 'Ill miss you'.
When they broke apart Dick wished luck to the others and walked to the zeta tubes slowly, before the machine called his recognition he looked back and waved. The others turned to leave as Batman walked towards the tubes but Wally stayed. In a way he felt he had to see the younger team mate off, a final goodbye.
Alright now that this is out I can start again, long chapter soon to follow!
