Sorry it took awhile. I've been doing a ton of other Fanfics. Hopefully this one turned out okay! Disclaimer: I don't own the song or characters.


After a lot of arguing, persuasion, and begging, the Team had finally gotten their mentors to all agree to let them have a week off. It had been a long month, with baddies attacking left and right. Now the teens were finally relaxing in the mountain's living room, content to just enjoy their first day off in what seemed like forever.

None of them could agree on a movie to watch, so they finally decided to just play Risk. The radio was playing in the background as usual, and everything seemed perfectly is, until Robin suddenly stopped paying attention to the game, and instead focused on the song that had just come on.

She's just a girl and she's on fire

"What the heck in this?" he asked.

"Uhh... It sounds like 'Girl on Fire', by Alicia Keys," Artemis answered after a second.

She's living in a world and it's on fire

Robin looked positively appalled, staring at the radio as though it had suddenly turned evil.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Wally finally asked.

"Aren't any of you hearing this?!" was the answer he got. "If she's on fire, somebody should be putting her out! Not singing about it!"

"I am fairly certain it is metaphorical, my friend," Kaldur tried to calm him.

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame

"Yeah, suuuure," the Boy Wonder drawled out.

Better look the other way

"Now they're ignoring her!" He continued. "They just don't want to get blamed for murder. Idiots."

"Dude, calm down. It's just a song," Wally tried saying.

"I wouldn't much like to be on fire," Megan said quietly, looking down.

"I wouldn't let that happen," Connor nearly growled.

"But if you were on fire," Robin said. "You'd trust someone to help put you out, right?"

"I suppose..."

"Then why isn't anyone helping the girl in the song!" He ranted.

Everybody stands, as she goes by

"See, they're all alarmed, yet none of them are actually helping her!"

"Please, just shut up!" Artemis said, rubbing her temples.

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl

"Well, if I were on fire and nobody was helping me, I'd be lonely too!" Robin continued, ignoring the annoyed looks he was getting.

But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

"She gave up! It's those idiot people's fault, really. They're probably the ones who set her on fire to begin with. She-"

"DUDE! Shut up! You ruin every single song!" Wally snapped.

"I'm just saying-"

"Well, don't," Artemis cut him off.

"If I may suggest turning the radio off and returning to our game," Kaldur said, hitting the off button.

"Sounds good to me," Connor stated, not seeming to have a care in the world for what just happened. The rest of the team agreed, turning back to their game.

"I still think it was a sad song," Megan muttered a few minutes later.

"Don't worry, Meg. I'm totally with you on that one," Robin agreed.

"At least 'Call Me Maybe' didn't come on..." Artemis muttered.

"Oh, that one isn't even the worst of them," Robin said, grinning. "Did I ever tell you guys about '50 Ways to Say Goodbye'?"

"SHUT UP!"
