TLDK: Birds of Prey

Chapter 5: Red Robin

Ever since she and her family had moved to Gotham with their brother, Lynn could not think her life could get any more better than how it is now. She's an athlete by day, a hero's partner by night, and even during some times in the day, she can't help but wear the costume and go hero whenever it is convenient. She had to hand it to Gotham, it was a city that knew its sports and had Teams that were determined to win. Lynn was glad to be a support and rising star in Gotham Academy's football, basketball, soccer, and baseball, and even Hockey teams.

It took some convincing the school board from Lincoln to get her to join so many teams...or to join in general. Gotham Academy didn't have a girl's division and genders were segregated in order to participate in different studies. However, the board was eventually grateful that they made the decision since Lynn turned out to be determined to win every sport she participated in, becoming an inspiration for other students.

Baseball was a little tricky at first, and she thought that it was the beginning of a streak of bad luck. Fortunately, Lincoln was there to set her straight.

Two months ago...

The Louds/Waynes were returning from a Baseball Game that ended badly for Lynn. She was not in the best of moods, even when Lincoln tried to explain to her what exactly went wrong.

Lincoln:"Lynn, please listen. I'm trying to explain-"

Lynn:"You don't have to say anything, Lincoln! I know exactly what went wrong!"

Lori:"Oh, boy. Here we go again."

Lynn:"There was obviously an omen that flew past me before the game! Something that got me cursed with bad luck! I faltered so badly during that game, even after everything I did to prepare. Had my signature bat, worked out all my strategies, and convinced that pathetic excuse of a team of mine to agree to all the rituals I had to go through. And we still fell short! This has never happened before, so it's got to be that I've become jinxed."

Lincoln:"Is she always like this?"

Rita:"Unfortunately so."

Lynn Sr.:"It's not the first time to be honest."

Lisa:"This has happened twice before and every time we've tried to explain, she's ignore us."

Luna:"Or even accuse us."

Lola:"Or threaten us with a baseball bat."

Lynn:"Hey! You guys know I need you there! To ensure that fortune favors me throughout the game. It's part of the ritual."

Lucy:"Lynn, you know I'm a student of supernatural phenomena. Luck literally has nothing to do with winning a game of baseball."

Leni:"And even if what you say is true, wouldn't that mean that Lincoln being there kind of messes up your luck ritual thing?"

All heads turn to Leni, as what she said should've been kept to herself. Now Lynn looked like she was having some form of realization.

Lynn:"Yes...that is true...Lincoln being there messed up my winning streak. Every other game, my team had always come out on top. But now that Lincoln's here..."

Lori:"Lynn. No."

Luan:"Stop."

Lisa;"Cease."

Lincoln:"Where is she going with this?"

Lynn:"Lincoln, you know I love you, but I cannot afford to have anymore loses. You're gonna have to be banned from coming to anymore of my games."
