Hello people I know i know im late... well would you care if i said this storm just broke my arm a sec ago. yea it did well 11 mins ago. i dont own anything but Allie and her issues. I love my old and new readers. I love my beta Reina and ERR!

Back at the Mount

M'Gann was setting the table for lunch. While Artemis and Wally were arguing about which was faster? Her arrows or him. Then the rest of the guys were circled around the TV except Robin. Robin was in the corner of the room going through the things in his utility belt.

Robin's POV

"Wow there is some crazy shit in here."

There was an announcement, "Recognize Blackbird B21."

Yes Allie's here, I mean these people are nice and all but I'm more comfy with Allie around.

Blackbird walked in and walked directly to M'Gann. M'Gann had nodded and they both went down the hallway where, if I remember right the rooms are.

What's up with Allie? Where's Dick? I should check on her… I placed all my little gadgets in their little pockets and began to head towards Allie's room.

Blackbird's POV

How dare he use that 'Will your family be proud?' crap!

I know they wouldn't be and I know I don't have the guts to kill anything but, but it isn't right. It isn't fair, my family was good...right? I did all the right things, I aced every class. I was perfect to them, I was perfect for them. Joker's punishment was a vacation in Arkham that he easily broke out of and then another person dies!

I could feel the tears coming again.

Man, I'm only ten! Yea, I'm very articulate, mature and intelligent but no matter how hard I try. I'll always be ten well at least until my birthday.

My birthday; My last birthday they all were alive. I was just Samantha Allie Tinkov the well behaved perfect last daughter of the Tinkovs. She has a natural talent to fight, she was more efficient then her elder sister. Laila was perfect to me, no matter how much people put her down. She liked to act like she wasn't bothered but I saw it every time. She was amazing; she'd know what to do but.. She's gone. I began to curl further into my ball of grief and sat in the corner of my room.

Robin's POV

I stood at her door debating whether to go in or not.. I mean I might piss her off, she might still feel a little hostile since our last confrontation. I was very close to leaving when I heard sniffles and small sobs.

Damn it she's crying.

I opened the door slowly and closed it. Immediately striding over to her.

"Black- uh Allie, what's wrong?" I have never in my life spoken so kindly EVER.

Allie looked up at me and before I realized what I was doing, I pulled off her mask. Those strong willed eyes that showed that there was more behind her being 10. She had wisdom, strength and guts. But what I saw was 10 year old weak and lost child.

"Jason, what are you doing here?"

What am I doing here? "Uh I was trying to avoid Beastboy."

Allie turned her head," Well then go to your room."

This is so hard.. "Look Allie, I came in.. because.. I heard you crying. So I had to check on you, are you ok?" Allie stared at me until tears started to fill her eyes again.

"Dick had wanted to talk to me about my coping with the loss. It ended with us arguing about revenge. Jace, he killed my entire family well except my nieces and nephew. But he left them parentless. And Am I supposed to sit back and accept it? Joker needs to feel the pain but but," Allie's voice began to crack,"In the end I'll feel nothing and my family isn't coming back." Allie began to cry again.

Her family was killed by Joker recently? Wait so that must mean.. her family was the Tinkovs. I just figured that her parents were abusive or had to leave or something.. So she's an orphan like me. Aww now I feel like a major ass, with all the Jokes and snide remarks.

Comfort her you idiot! Oh yea..

I pulled Allie into my arms, for a quick second she stiffened but then relaxed and cried into my chest. She's really light and small. "It's okay Allie; hey you said that your nephew and niece are still alive. So technically your entire family isn't dead. Imagine how they are feeling now, living with a complete stranger. It's up to you to uphold your past family and embrace your new one." Allie was quiet now but still leaning in my arms and on my chest. "Do you think I can do that? Like continue my family's legacy? Allie asked in small voice. I tilted her chin up to face me, "Of course you're freakin Allie! You're smart, strong, a great leader, cute and …uh."

Oh my fake Jesus, did I just call her cute. She's going to punch the hell out my arm. Instead Allie looked up at me, took off my mask and was blushing a bit. Wow I've never seen her blush before. Actually I also never noticed how her hair falls perfectly without trying. (Lol Bruno Mars) Well except for this one strand and again my hand moved without my consent.

I swear all girls must be Metas.

Jason tucked her stray hair behind her ear and the two stared at each other for a while until Allie yawned. "Well I think it's about time I went to bed."

"I think so too." We turned to see Dick standing in the doorway. As if a spell was lifted, I noticed that we were REALLY close and that I was still holding her. I released her and began to stand up.

"Batman is going to be late so I'm taking us home." We walked out Allie's room and followed Dick. We walked down the hallway awkwardly quiet until Allie whispered," Robin?"

"Yea.?" Allie looked down and fiddled with her fingers," Thanks.. Jace, I really needed that." I looked down for a second and laughed," Uh well tears don't suit you. So stop it." Allie laughed and punched me in my arm HARD, "Whatever Boy Junior, you won't see tears from these eyes anymore!" We laughed together and walked into the Zeta Tubes.

I'd say it's safe to say that today, I'll sleep well.
