Chalant Candlelight

Chapter 57

(Robin's POV)

Batgirl, Batman, and I all jumped through an old apartment building window into a very familiar setting. Something about the antique porcelain dolls or the spray paint cover framed degree brought back some sort of memory, some sort of deja vu,

"Harley should be back any minute now," Batgirl spoke, making me pause while they still stepped around the apartment. It all made sense now, that faint smell of vanilla pudding and cherries,

"What? You never said we had a target," I whisper aggressively,

"Actually, Bruce did mention it, but you were staring off into space all briefing," Batgirl rolled her eyes at me. I took a step back before turning to the window,

"I'll go patrol the roof," before I got the chance to escape, from the window Harley's legs wrapped around my neck forcing me backward on the ground as she was now sitting on my chest, caressing my face with her hand,

"It's been a while, boy wonder," she grinned with all her teeth out. Batman and Batgirl assumed defensive positions but didn't initiate due to Harley holding a boxcutter to my jugular,

"Hey Harles," I sigh, getting used to the weight of her,

"You missed the season finale of Real Housewives of Star City, you'll never guess who had an affair with Green Arrow,"

"Robin, what is this?" Batman questioned as Harley got off of me helping me to stand up as she held me in front of her, the razor still held tight to my neck,

"Aww, you didn't tell bats about us?" She frowned, running her other hand around my waist and over my abs. Batgirl tensed,

"What is she talking about?" Batman's voice darkened exponentially,

"Nothing," I quickly lied,

"So, daddybats doesn't know about all your dirty little secrets, interesting?"

"Robin," Batman spoke again, wanting the truth from me,

"It's really nothing, Harley's lying," I lied again,

"Does he know how flexi-"

"Stop -" I shut her down,

"Aww, is baby bird getting angry,"

"Harley, you're outnumbered. Let's just get this over with,"

"No," she whined, "I want to tell big bad Batman about his little Robin and all his little secrets," she laughed, "breaking Ivy out of jail, sleeping with her for drugs, keeping the team from capturing me on many missions, and so much more," She finished, I looked at Batman's widened white eyes and the way his mouth twitched, fury evident in his body language. He's going to kill me. He's going to kill me. He's going to kill me,

"Drugs?"

"Didn't you hear? He'd been having panic attacks because of his lost 5 months with the demon witch boy,"

"Harley!" Batgirl shouted at her to get her to shut up,

"You knew?" Batman suddenly turned to Batgirl, and I went rigid. Would he hurt her? He wouldn't, would he? I felt my heart rate accelerate, and my breathing became labored and panicked as I began to hyperventilate. Harley noticed first since her chest was pressed to my back,

"Aww, no fun, you two broke him," Harley pouted at my shaking state. Batman and Batgirl shot their gazes from each other to me. Harley merely kicked the back of my knees, forcing me onto them before she slipped back out her window for an easy escape.

I was on my knees, my eyes on the floor as tremors ran through me. He's going to kill me. He's going to kill me. He's going to kill me. Before I knew it, Batgirl was crouched in front of me, her hands on my shoulders as she tried to make eye contact,
