Chapter 2
I walk out side to see Bruce's car pulled up the sidewalk. I run straight to the front door and rush to get inside.
"How was practice?" he asked.
"It was fine." I replied.
"Are you ready to go to the team?" he asked.
"Is it fine if I don't go to training today?" I asked.
"Why wouldn't you want to see the rest of the team? Everyone will be there." He asked confused.
"I guess I just wanted to be Dick Grayson for a little longer." I sighed and stared out the window as Bruce kept driving. The car ride was already awkward so of course Bruce being Bruce he just left it that way. I popped out my Iphone and put my black and red ear buds in. I listened to music the whole time to the Batcave. It was a mix of so many genes from rap to heavy metal. I had every type of music you could think of old, new, loud, soft, and catchy. I liked that though because you aren't held onto one type you can explore without feeling held down.
"Ok go get changed and zeta your way to the mountain. I've got Batman business to attend to." Bruce said. I nodded and did what he told me. I got changed and took a zeta tube to the mountain.
"B01 Robin" the tube announced my arrival.
"Rob! Dude where have you been I haven't seen you in like ages!" Wally exclaimed.
"Hey Walls!" I said with a fake smile.
"Dude are you ok?" He asked.
" Yeah I'm fine."
"Really? Because your smile doesn't look right." He questioned me.
"Yeah Wally I'm fine." I giggled at how he knew me so well.
"Is it that girl in your science class again?" He asked refering to Ariel
"Shut Up!" I shouted.
"Whoa take it easy man!" he said putting his hands out in front of him.
"Can we talk about our mission now." I said trying to get everyone's attention.
"Actually we really don't have a mission." Artemis said.
"Then why are we here?" Wally asked.
"Because of this." M'gann came out with another girl walking by her side.
"Hi!" the girl said. She was very soft spoken.
"Why are you here and who are you?" KF asked.
"I'm" she began to talk.
"You're Ariel Oliver!" I yelled cutting her off.
"How did you know that?" she questioned me.
"I'm the boy wonder! Wonder what do you expect." I winked at her. What the hell why did I wink at her I would do that. She's gonna think I'm crazy it's this god damn costume!
"You still didn't answer my question why are you here?" Wally demanded for an answer.
"On her way home from her dance class she almost got mugged and we started talking and I asked her to stay tonight. Since she who I was she wanted to know if she could meet you guys. So I said sure why not." M'gaan said.
"So she doesn't have any kind of abilities or anything?" Artemis asked.
"Not really but she is a fantastic dancer." M'gann mused. Airy blushed from M'gann's compliment.
"Really? I would have never guess." I said trying to stay as cool as possible. Why did M'gann have to bring her here out of all the people that could have been mugged it had to be her. What luck I have right? Well this doesn't have to be a bad thing. I would be able to get to know her better. I guess I'll start now and use that boy wonder charm. I winked at Wally. He smiled back and mouthed, "this is the one." I shook my head back at him.
"Hey guys we should eat something in the kitchen or do something outside on the beach or whatever." He said making it totally obvious we had this planned in some sort of way.
"Do you want to come to Ariel." Artemis asked.
"Oh I don't have a swimsuit or anything," she said.
"I'll stay inside with you if you want." I said before anyone even thought of offering one to her.
"That's fine" she smiled.
It was just she and I now and I totally felt the pressure. We made awkward eye contact sitting on the couch for a while. I was too afraid to say anything and I know I would the wrong thing around her. I'm never like this around other girls.
"So is it cool being Robin and all?" she asked breaking the silence.
"Yeah I guess it's pretty cool. I mean I have all these weapons just made for me." I replied.
"It must be really hard though having two identities and all. I don't think I would be able to do that whole secrecy thing." She said looking down at her feet.
"Yeah it is really hard but you just get used to it after a while. I bet even you could do it Airy!"
"Did you just call me Airy?" She asked confused.
"Yeah why?" now I was confused. Why did it matter what I called her?
"Well it's just the only person that calls me that is this boy in my dance class. His name is Richard Grayson. All the girls in my class absolutely adore him and he is super smart and super athletic and super rich and an amazing dancer." She smiled looking at me.
"He sounds like a pretty cool guy. You said all the girls like him do you like him." I asked. Don't lose your cool. I swear to god I will kill you later if you screw this up.
"Well I guess I would go out with him if I knew more about him than just the fact that he is a smart, athletic, rich, and super hot boy." She said. "Your just like him. You know? You are everything he is."
"Am I really?" I can't stop thinking about how funny this all is. I'm talking about myself this is great. Ha!
"Yeah in fact you look kind of like him too but he is rich and wouldn't run around in tights and a cape. Maybe just the tights." She laughed.
"Dose the cape make me hotter than him?" I said standing up and striking a pose. Oh my god! What am I doing with my life?
"Defiantly" she laughed as she got up from the couch and stood in front of me.
"You know you have to be the prettiest girl I have ever seen." I said. Ok robin charm. Don't fail me now!
"You think I'm pretty?" she asked.
"Of course. I'm sure all the boys like you and you have a boyfriend and all of that."
"Actually I don't have a boyfriend."
"I wonder why? You're so pretty." I said taking her hand and pulling her closer to me. She wrapped her hands around my neck. We looked at each other and I started to go in for the kiss.
"Hey Ariel!" you have to come…Whoa!" KF walked in.
"ummm…. It's umm not… ok…Maybe it is…. What it looks like…but umm let me … just explain. I tried saying looking for the right words. I quickly pushed Ariel away from me.
"Explain what?!" Ariel said looking at me with frown on face.
"That I was just helping you get up after you fell." I said winking at her.
"Oh so that's how it is. I see." She started tearing up.
"No I…I … just"
"Don't hurt yourself there. It's fine."
"Hey Wally! You got to come back outside!" Artemis rushed in.
"If we don't have a mission I should probably get back to Batman. I'll see you guys later." I said looking back at Ariel one more time then continued to the zeta tube. I don't know why I pushed her away. I guess it's because I know I wouldn't be able to have a girlfriend with all these secrets I have.
I know most people don't like original character slashes but I just couldn't help myself. I hope you keep reading. And thank you again to all the wonderful people who reviewed and followed and faved. Keep on reviewing and following and all that! ~ Liz
