Bella pov:

My shaking form was leaned against boy wonder as I took a few breaths. My head against his shoulder as I felt nauseous and the world didn't stop spinning. I feel his arms around my waist, usually I would be annoyed by any type of actions made like that, but I'm too dizzy to process anything. Once my head stopped I looked at him and he looked at me with a apologetic and regretful look. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that, sorry. I'll leave you now." His hands left my waist and I immediately felt cold.

Before I could process what I was doing I grab his gloved hand, "Wait!" I surprised myself with my actions, my face feels like it's heating up. He had a slight look of surprise and looked at me with slight hesitancy. "Please stay with me for a little bit longer." I said looking down not wanting to meet his masked eyes just in case he rejected my plead. "Sure, if you want me too. Is there a specific reason?" He said with a teasing tone that just made me go redder. I tried to shake the feeling off, but I couldn't so I just ignored it.

I took a breath before looking at him, "Let's just say it's because I don't want to be alone right now." He nodded his head before dragging me off to a small bench and we sat down there. I spoke before any awkward air could consume us, "So, tell me a bit of yourself. I'm not asking you to tell me who you are under the mask, but just some common information." He understood what I was asking and began, "Well I like reading as a hobby, my favorite color is red, and I've lived in Gotham all my life. " With more reason I want to paint my nails red.

A thought played in my mind and a teasing smirk stretched across my face before looking at him and quickly replaced with a innocent smile, "Just so I feel more comfortable with you, can you assure me that your not a old man?" He looked at me in pure shock, "Yeah, I'm an old man who's muscular running around this city stopping crime. " He said sarcasticly with a sort of playful annoyed face. I smiled at him, "Your not muscular your pretty scrawny if you ask me. How do I know your not lying? Robin has been around for a while and was here before me so how do i know your not old?" I responded playfully, I could tell I hurt his pride with he way he flinched when I said scrawny and how Robin was here before me.

Which is a true fact, Robin should be in his twenties almost thirties, came out 13 years before I was born and I'm 15. "Did you just call me scrawny? I'm muscular not scrawny, besides I've been Robin for almost 3 years I'm not old." It sounded like he was pleading for me to believe him. I laughed at him, suddenly he started tickling me which sent me into fits of laughter. "Say I'm not scrawny and old!" He said as his fingers didn't stop tickling me. I shook my head as the tickling got intenser. "Say it!", I started to feel breathless, "Y-your n-n-not SCRAWNY o-or O-OLD." The tickling got intense when I was speaking, to the point I was yelling certain words he wanted to hear. He stopped once the sentence was out, I took deep breathes to recover from my fit of laughs.

Once I was done I realized my position with him slightly bent over towards me while I was slumped against the bench. I felt his breath on my face from how close we were. I gulped at how close he was and he looked me in the eye from behind his mask. I quickly stood up from the bench and let out a small cough, before looking back at him. I see him straighten himself up and look back at me.

I smile lightly at him as he flashes me a small smile back. I wonder what color his eyes are under the mask? The curiosity is killing me, but I know he's not going to tell me. Suddenly a honk was heard, a turn my head to where it came from and all the color from my face left once I see who...

My parents with father looking at me with a hard expression and a forming scowl. Mother looked confused, but secretly wiggled her eyebrows at me away from father's gaze. They slowly start to approach and father looks down at us before switching his gaze from me to Robin.
