Bethany Ford - A Young Justice Novel (Robin/Dick Grayson Romance) [Completed]

Chapter 35: Betrayal

Hey guys! Enjoy! I'm gonna try to write the next chapter soon, but it's going to be an intense next chapter. So it might take a few days. But I've been updating for three days in a row! Impressive if I do say so myself.

Bethany's POV:

"How did she know?!" Robin yelled. His voice boomed around the cave.

We had met up with the rest of the Team at the Cave after the fight. We were standing on the glowing platform in the main training room. Everyone had been forced to stop whatever it was that they were doing and meet at the cave under a Code Black meeting. Those never happened. We were semicircled around Robin, who was pacing in front of us. He had relayed what had happened to the rest of the Team. Now everyone was cowering away from Robin as he yelled.

"How did she know who we were?!" He demanded, slamming a fist down on the digital computer keyboard making it crack and then disappear into thin air. I had never seen Robin so angry before. Not even when he had yelled at me for confronting Klarion alone. Robin, the cool and collected one. Robin, the one that loved to laugh and tease. And here he was before me. He was a totally different person.

Robin was absolutely furious. The expression on his face was completely murderous.

"Calm down, Robin. We need to figure this out. You can't think straight when you're angry," Aqualad put a hand on Robin's shoulder, stopping him from his pacing.

Robin glared at Aqualad and smacked his hand away. Aqualad took a surprised step back, the rest of the Team was just as shocked.

"She knows who I am. She knows who Batman is. Don't you understand how dangerous this is?!"

"I understand," Aqualad said calmly, "And I am trying to help you figure out how."

There was a long pause and a silent conversation between Robin and Aqualad occurred. Then Robin's shoulders dropped and he looked down at the ground. He took a deep breath and then moved to stand next to Aqualad.

"Sorry," He said, his voice was softer, "I'm just... Let's just figure this out."

"Okay, tell me about this Blaze girl," Aqualad turned toward Artemis and I.

"She was pretty young to be working with Klarion," Artemis tapped her chin.

"But she was all the more lethal," I joined in, "It took us a lot of effort just to knock her out for a few minutes. And then she came back and all the wounds that we had inflicted on her were healed."

"She had some sort of fire power," Robin came to stand next to me. He was so close, I could feel his body heat, "She was powerful."

"And she seemed to be our age," I relayed.

"She seemed like a really slutty bitch," Artemis grumbled.

here was a pause as we all looked at her. Wally held back a laugh. Artemis looked up.

"Oh, did I say that out loud?"

"But most importantly," Robin ignored her comment, "She seemed to know us."

"Like how she knew your names?" Aqualad asked.

"More than that. She seemed familiar. Like she knew us," Robin had his eyebrows scrunched together. I could almost see the gears in his head working like clockwork. He had been given a puzzle and he was determined to solve it. I admired him for that.

"What if she didn't actually figure out your identities," Aqualad said slowly.

My head whipped to him, "What do you mean?"
