I sit on my bed and sigh. Everyone is out of the cave doing who knows what. My mission hasn't been going as planned. Wally was easy to wrap around my finger but he doesn't really have anything that I need to know. Neither does Megan or Artemis though I haven't been pushing Artemis too hard. Conner and Kaldur are indifferent so that leaves only Robin.

The only question is he's been avoiding me since I made dinner two days ago. And being me, I'm not quite sure how to fix this little problem. A knock on my door snaps me out of my thoughts. I sigh,"It's open." I close my eyes and massage my temples as I hear the door open and close.

I open my eyes and nearly fall off my bed in surprise. Robin's standing there an awkward smile on his face. I sit up and stare at him. "What are you doing here?" He looks down at the ground and mumbles,"I was kinda hoping that we could... you know, talk."

I purse my lips and think for a moment before relying,"What about?" He looks up and shrugs. I sigh,"You aren't really giving me anything to go on." His head drops again and I sigh then pat beside me on the bed. I roll over so I'm on my stomach and wait for him to sit down.

After a second he does and we stare at the couch. I look over at him and smirk,"You want to go sit on the couch or something?" His lips twitch and he turns to look at me before shaking his head. I sit up and face him,"So, what is this about?" He shrugs. I pinch the bridge of my nose,"Is it about you and Zatanna then?" His head snaps up and he stares at me.

I shrug,"it seemed like you two had something going on." He shakes his head. "She kissed me on New Years but that was it." I smile,"Ok then, what do you want to talk about?" He shrugs again and and snap,"You're not giving me anything to work with." He smiles,"Sorry. I just... wanted to get to know you better. Try to understand you. You don't talk a lot to anyone except Artemis."

I shrug,"We had a bonding moment. How about we ask twenty questions about each other?" Robin nods and I smile,"Ok, I go first though." He grins. 'What to ask him...' "Ok,I'm guessing that I can't ask about your secret identity." He smirks. "Ok then. Ummm, What is your favorite memory?" He's silent for a moment then says,"The first time I was able to preform acrobatics without a net." I tilt my head and he smiles,"Ok, now you have to tell me what your favorite memory is."

I think for a moment there were a lot of those. After a moment I decide on one. "My favorite is the day I first went swimming in the sea. I found this really pretty shell and made it into a necklace." His lips twitch,"Ok then." I stick my tongue out.

After the twenty questions we sit in silence for a few moments. 'Ok, so he was an acrobat, he and Wally are super close. His favorite color is-why did I even ask him that?' I shake my head and look over at him. He seems deep in thought. I poke him on the arm and he turns to look at me. "What cha thinkin about?"

He faces forward. "I was thinking about my parents." I look down,"oh." He looks over at me. "You ok?" I shrug,"I miss mine." He turns to face me,"How about you tell me about yours and I'll tell you about mine." I nod and take a deep breath.

"I grew up on a beach. My mom loved the beach. She said there was a peacefulness about it and I agree with her. We were really close. But when I was nine she was attacked and killed by a shark... We were out surfing and she fell off her board. I thought she was playing till the water turned red. She told me to get out of there so I did." I snarl,"turns out she was torn limb from limb." Robin winced at this and I continue.

"I was Sent to live with my dad, if you can call him that. He was abusive and cruel. By the time I turned ten I had had enough. So-" my voice breaks and I curse my emotions."So I killed him." I hear Robin's quite gasp. "After that I ran off, lived on the streets for a while. Things were getting kind of bad till Charna found me."

I smile,"She took me in and became a second mother to me. Things became good again, I had two great cousins and cool but rather strange aunts... then about two year after being with them I woke up one morning and they were gone. And once again I was alone and on the streets. I became a thief and Joker found me."

I quickly look over at Robin who seems to start. "I didn't really want to be with him but I didn't really have a choice, plus it was better than nothing. Then Batman found me after I ran away from Joker when he got mad one night and here I am." I chew on my lip Robin grabs my hand.

I look up and he tries to give me a reassuring smile. He drops my hand and then begin talking. "My family died when I was about the same time as you. Some thug killed them because their boss wouldn't pay protection money. I was the only one who survived. Batman took me in after that. He didn't want me getting involved like he was but I did anyway." He attempts to smile but fails. I look away then back at him.

He looks so sad... "Robin." I softly call he turns and looks at me and I pull him into a hug. After a moment he hugs me back. I let go and pull away, I smile at him and feel my cheeks getting hot thinking about what I'm about to do. With a quick reassuring breath to steady my nerves I lean forward and kiss him quickly before pulling away.

I down glance down then look at him and laugh mentally as his cheeks turn a bright pink. I grin and let a giggle escape. He looks at me, tilts his head and a grin crosses his face. I look away and smile. An beeping interrupts us however. I look over at him and to see him looking at his phone. He sighs and gives me a little smile,"Bat is calling." I look away and sigh.

I feel him move closer. I look over at him and he gives me a peck on the cheek then hops up. I blink and watch him as he heads towards the door. He looks back and grins,"You are pretty special." I feel a grin cross my face and he laughs the leaves my room.

I throw myself backwards onto my bed quite happy with how things went. My phone vibrates in my pocket so I take it out and answer it. "Hello?" I sit upright at the sound of the voice on the other end of the phone. "What information have you gotten?" I tense up and reply,"I have a good deal and even more is on the way. I'll give you a report in the morning."

"Good, We'll be waiting." The phone hangs up and I sigh. I lay back on my bed,'Alright little birdie, time to tell me all you know.' An evil grin crosses my face and I laugh.

I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave a review.
