Robin one shot part 3!

Trust

Starfire turned to go after him but paused to look at the team. On one hand, she wanted to be with him because he was clearly upset and she hated seeing him so upset. It was the right thing to do as a friend. On the other hand, she didn't want to stress him whilst he was already in a bad way. Plus he was showing regret for his actions and she didn't want to cuddle him so he didn't feel guilty anymore. It wasn't fair on them. "At least we know he regrets it?" Beast Boy started to break up the awkward silence between them. 

"Yep and had the classic "I've become my father" moment," Raven deadpanned. 

"And all he had to do was bite off more than he could chew," Cyborg commented. "I by no means am happy with what he did. It was dumb but he is only sixteen. I've seen people his age do dumber things. I'm okay to forgive him if we're all okay to."

"Yeah, the dude is bound to mess up and it's just weird now," Beast Boy added. "I'll forgive him." Raven sighed, not completely decided. She did know one thing though. Dividing the team would only lead to their downfall. Unfortunately holding a grudge wouldn't do. 

"Robin can have a second chance," she muttered. She wasn't content with forgiving and forgetting but she'd let him try again. Plus seeing him so defeated, something she thought would bring some kind of content, had left her dissatisfied. They all looked at Starfire for the final decision. 

"I agree with Friend Raven. He is our friend and we have all made mistakes. He is no different," she concluded. "I should go find him now, yes?" Cyborg shook his head and got up. 

"Stay here, I'll talk to him. Order me the deluxe meal BB."

As a leader, Robin put everyone before himself. As the eldest, Cyborg looked after everyone including his stubborn leader. Robin was only sixteen after all and, despite all the experiences he'd had, he still needed looking after at times. He wasn't even a real adult yet but he had so much resting on his shoulders. Although they didn't talk much, they did speak about things when they found the time to. Right now seemed like a good time. It felt like the universe agreed as the first place Cyborg looked he found Robin. This place was the roof of the tower since he always found seemed at ease when he was high up. He sat on the edge with his knees brought up to his chest and his chin resting on them. Cyborg walked over and sat beside him though he kept some distance between them. Robin didn't react much but knew he'd been joined by someone despite not taking his eyes away from the sunrise. "Wanna talk about that blow-up?" he asked.

"Doubt I have much of a choice," Robin replied quietly. 

"You do. You just feel like you don't because you know one has more cons than the other." Robin hummed and coughed into the crook of his arm, groaning a little. He sounded tired which wasn't too hard to believe. Working yourself half to death did that to you. "Taken anything?"

"Yeah." He glanced away from the horizon and to his feet. "I shouldn't have blown up like that."

"No, you shouldn't have." It went quiet between them as it so often did when chipping away at the walls Robin put up to protect himself. Cyborg guessed it was thinking time or the younger was acclimatising to the situation. Either way, he waited for him to continue the conversation. The ball was in his court. 

"I know I can make this right. I just don't know how."

"How would Batman do it?" Robin tutted at him. 

"He never really did," he mumbled.

"Well, what do you wish he did?" Cyborg asked. He shrugged. "C'mon you're a smart guy." He sighed and concentrated on the question. What would he want? Well, what did he used to want before he gave up on that? He doubted getting them a coffee and a new game was going to do the trick. Maybe a game for Beast Boy but he very much doubted everyone else would appreciate it as much. 

"I wanted an apology. A real one. Not one that apologised for how I took it but for what he did or one that happened because one of us nearly died." 

"See, you know what to do." Robin let his legs down with a sigh and let them swing. "You're allowed to make mistakes as a leader all you have to just is own up to it."

"That's probably one of the only things Bats didn't teach me," he joked morbidly.

"That and healthy coping mechanisms," Cyborg replied under his breath. "Let's get you inside, you've already got a gnarly infection brewing."

"I've told you about scanning me before," Robin tutted.

"When you learn internal bleeding isn't just a mild inconvenience I'll stop." Robin laughed to himself and turned back so his feet were once again on the ground. He paused before standing up, preparing himself both the apology and the rivets of pain that would go through him from moving. "You alright?"

"Putting aside the fact I'm in a crazy amount of pain and the fact I almost completely decimated the relationships I have with people I consider family, I'm just fine."

"You think we're family?" Raven asked. 

Robin looked up to find the rest of his team standing in the doorway where he assumed they'd been listening to their conversation the entire time. He nodded without hesitation. "I'm sorry about the Red X thing. I let my pride get in the way of things and I shouldn't have gone behind your backs," he apologised. "I'm also sorry it took a bad night for me to say it." 

"You got a lot of making up to do," Raven reminded him. He nodded with a frown. "But I can accept your apology in advance." He smirked, rolling his eyes at her misdirection. 

"I'm willing to do anything. Within reason of course. I draw the line at cleaning BB's room," he responded. 

"We would never make you do something so cruel," Starfire giggled. She floated over to him and snatched him up in a hug. "But you can clean up after Silkie for the next month."

"You're gonna have to loosen your grip otherwise he won't be moving let alone cleaning for the next month," Cyborg intervened. She let go with an awkward smile as Robin coughed harshly. "Bed rest then you make up for being a dumbass."

"This is probably the only time I'll agree to that," Robin wheezed.
