Chapter 5: Meeting Up Again
It was very lonely at Gotham tonight. No crime, no disturbances… not even a punk trying to break a silly rule. There was nothing. It was these kind of nights that made Robin restless.
He plopped himself on top of a building near the Gotham docks. Most might think that a water front view would be beautiful… but not in Gotham. Unless looking at a pitch-black harbor with scum and muck was beautiful to you…
Signing, Robin looked up to the stars. For the past few weeks he had been feeling… rather lonely. He missed his friend… his friend Shayera.
And the worst part was… he had never gotten the chance to say goodbye. He had been too scared and upset with himself to say goodbye. He had his chance and he blew it.
That wasn't the only dull thing in the Boy Wonder's life right now. He was currently in charge for all of Gotham's safety all by himself. Batgirl busy on a mission with Supergirl on the hunt for Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn along with Supergirl's foe, Livewire. Nightwing was patrolling his own city. And Batman was up at the new Justice League meeting… an initiation was what Tim thought he called it.
But it didn't matter how many Leaguers were joining the Justice League now… none of them would fill Shayera's shoes.
Kicking and swinging his feet over the edge, Robin looked on at the moon. It wasn't giving off much light… or perhaps that was the dark smoggy clouds blocking it's light. Whatever the reason… it just added to Robin's dullness on the whole night's situation.
Getting up finally, he shot his grappling hook over to the next building. He was famous in the Wayne household for not being able to sit still for longer than five minutes.
Landing on the building, Robin took back in his grappling hook and looked back over the harbor and city.
He saw a nice spot on the ledge of this building for him to sit on. Frowning, he placed himself down and rested his chin in his hand looking on at Gotham, clearly not amused.
"Hey… doesn't look like you're working too hard there now does it?"
Robin turned around. He knew that voice. It was…
"Shayera!" Robin said aloud looking at the winged woman in shock.
She smiled at him, "Of course."
Robin felt a grin grace his lips, "But you… you—"
"What?" she said giggling, "Not happy to see me?"
Robin ran up in front of her excited, "Of course I'm excited to see you!" he flashed a grin, "It's just that… I thought…"
Shayera titled her head, "Thought what?"
"I over heard you and Green Lantern talking after the League meeting… you were leaving… and…" Robin felt a lump build up in his throat as he said the next thing, "And… I never got to say goodbye to you…"
Shayera felt a wave of sympathy for the child, "Oh… Tim…" she said giving him a hug, "It's okay… no need to get upset," she said reading the boy's face, "I wouldn't leave forever."
"But you… you have no where to go…" Robin told her.
Nodding, Shayera agreed, "Yes, but that doesn't mean I can't visit my favorite superhero now can I?" she said tapping Robin on the nose.
She saw Robin flinch a chuckle as she tapped his nose. He looked back up at her smiling and sat back down on the edge of the building making room for her.
"I'm glad you're back," Robin told Shayera.
"Well… I don't know how long I can stay here…" the Thanagerian warrior told the Boy Wonder, "If Batman ever found me in his city—"
"Batman, Smatman…" Robin told her slyly, "He left me in charge tonight, so I say you're allowed."
Shayera giggled, "Thanks Tim."
"Shhh…" Robin told her putting a finger up against his lips, "It's Robin remember?"
"Oppps…" Shayera said placing her hands over her mouth, "Sorry Robin…"
Robin nodded, "It's okay."
"So, this is what my little man looks like in costume," Shayera said grinning, "Very tough… and very handsome."
"You think?" Robin asked excitedly.
Shayera nodded looking down at the boy, "Of course."
"Cool…" Robin said slyly.
Shayera couldn't help but laugh. The two sat out looking on at the harbor. Robin couldn't help but smile in spite of himself. He had his friend back.
"So," Shayera began leaning over and looking at Robin, curiosity and excitement in her face, "Tell me all about what's happened since I took my little vacation."
Robin grinned at the fact that she called it a 'vacation' and felt a lot of respect towards her. Even in the worst situation she was trying to keep up the bright side of the glass.
Preparing himself to tell Shayera about all his events since her departure, Robin took in a deep breath of air, ready for his story.
"Well… I was trying to convince Bruce into letting me get a motorcycle because Dick had one before me… but Bruce was all 'No you're too young…' and 'I'm a grumpy guy so the answer is no' and then I asked him why and he wouldn't answer so then I got mad and went to my room then the door bell rung and it was Diana and I dunno why she was there and Bruce was all nice an polite and Diana was all giggly and then I asked Diana if she wanted to play video games but Bruce kept her from answering my question and then I asked him why he wouldn't let me talk to her and all he would do was pay attention to Diana and he was like 'Diana…' and she was like 'Bruce…' and I was like 'Ewww…' and then…"
Shayera smiled contently as she listened to Tim share his events with her. After everything that had happened, all that she had done, her only friend that was able to find the light that had been hiding for five years… to see past all the secrets… all the lies… and to find her and help bring her back into her own mind… was just an innocent child.
The End
Final Author's Note: Told you it was short. Well that's the end. Please tell me what you think of the story. Loved it? Hated it? I personally like Tim's events he begins to tell Shayera at the end but that's just me.
