Anyways, hope you enjoy this (short) read :D Thanks for all the favs, alerts, and reviews! Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes :P
The team was still wrapped in their 'moment' when the circus tent reverted back into the plain white room. Wally and Artemis had pulled out from their hugs, leaving Megan, who still had her arms wrapped around Robin, and the boy wonder himself. By now, Robin had stopped crying but just couldn't help but lay still in Megan's motherly arms. After a minute though, he realized how embarrassed he actually was, and gently loosened himself from her grasp.
Robin used his cape to shyly wipe away the dried tear marks on his face, before turning towards his teammates; giving them a sad smile.
"I'm.. sorry you guys had to see that." He said shyly, brushing a hand through his messy hair.
Wally shook his head in response. "Dude, don't be. It wasn't your fault."
The room was silent for a moment, before Robin finally spoke again.
"Guess I'd better answer some questions now. Well, as you saw, my family and I were a trapeze act in Haly's traveling circus. We were known as the Flying Graysons, the only people in the world who could pull off a quadruple somersault. And of course, we performed all our stunts without a net." Robin said somewhat proudly.
"Are all trapeze artists supposed to perform without one?" Megan asked curiously.
Robin let out a soft laugh. "No, only my family did. We were just that awesome."
The team smiled at his remark.
"However." Robin's features drooped as he told the next part. "One day, a criminal named Tony Zucco sabotaged our act after we refused to pay him 'protection money'. And, well, you know what happened next. A month later, Batman took me in. He supported me, trained me, and eventually I got to have my revenge on Tony Zucco. I didn't do anything to major of course, just bruised him up a bit and sent him to jail. But.. I've never really ever gotten over my parent's deaths."
Robin dropped his head and faced the ground, but suddenly felt a hand placed comfortingly on his shoulder. He looked up to see a certain red head speedster in front of him, smiling warmly.
"Rob, whatever you've been through and anything that may happen in the future, just know that I.. We will be there for you. We've got your back!" Wally said and held up his fist.
Robin chuckled and bumped his fist against Wally's, while the rest of the team watched them and smiled. Superboy glanced at the door and noticed that it was now complete. A white wooden door, fashioned with a round, gold doorknob.
He walked towards it and curiously turned the knob, opening the door. A flash of light greeted the team by surprise, before their world was consumed by a familiar blackness.
….
Black Canary was returning from the kitchen with wet towels when she heard grunts and yawns coming from the cave's living room. She chucked the towels on the counter and ran to the room, sighing and smiling in relief as she watched the sleeping teens one by one awaken from their sleep.
"Thank god you kids are okay!" she shouted, coming to Megan's side and helping her stand.
"Wuh-What happened?" Wally said, rubbing his tired eyes. Suddenly, the memories of their experience in the dreamland came rushing back to him, and by the looks of it, the others remembered too. They smiled at each other, realizing that their bond was now much more deeper and stronger than before.
Black Canary raised her eyebrow in confusion, noticing the team staring at each other. "Erm.. Actually, what did happen?" she asked?
"I believe we should wait till the rest of our mentors arrive before we discuss what has occurred." Kaldur regarded Black canary with a small smile on his face.
Artemis crossed her arms across her chest but was smiling at well. "Yeah, because it's going to be a looong story."
