Robin's Angel

Chapter One

     Hannah was hanging out with her twin, Gabriel, playing pranks on random people at Disneyland. They stole a bunch of sweets and were just leaving to go back to heaven when Hannah heard Bruce praying for her. She told Gabe she had to go and flashed away.

     The two teams, all except Superman, looked at Batman like he was crazy. He was looking up to the sky, saying stuff to it. "Hannah, I have some people you should meet, can you come down?" he prayed.

     "Who are these people, Bat?" Hannah appeared next to him, causing everyone but Bat and Superman to jump. Everyone stared, wide-eyed at the archangel.

     "Hannah, this is my team, and these are their proteges. Robin is mine, team, this is Hannah Novak, an angel and guardian to all depressed youth," they all looked at her with disbelief, and then their gazes shifted to Batman, who they all thought was crazy.

     "He's not crazy, let me show you something," she said, noticing Robin's arm in a cast. She walked over to him. She waved her hand and the cast was gone. Robin yelped in surprise but stood perfectly still, scared. Hannah held both her hands over his arm and her eyes glowed, just like they did the first night she met Bruce. A golden glow appeared on Robin's arm, and then it was gone. Robin eyes went even more wide. He bent his arm experimentally. 

     "Thanks, but I'm still not convince- wow!" he jumped back, staring behind Hannah. Hannah's mouth opened in shock.

     "You can see them?" she asked.

     "See what?" Superboy  spoke for the first time.

     "My wings," Hannah said, voice barely above a whisper. Bruce and Clark gasped, knowing what that meant, while everyone else looked so confused.

     "Can't everyone see them?" Robin asked.

     "Um.. well... not unless I want them to, and right now I don't," Hannah explained.

     "Then why can I see them?" Robin inquired. Hannah looked to Bruce for help, how would she explain this to him?

     "I'll... tell you when the time is right," Hannah decided, and M'Gann, sensing the awkwardness, grabbed Hannah's arm, dragging her to the lounge, everyone had a lot of question and Hannah would gladly answer most of them. Wally was the first to bombard her with questions.

     "What powers do you have, what angels are real? What are fake? How did you meet Batman? What" Hannah cut him off.

     "I'd like to know all your names first before I start answering questions," she said. Wally stopped short, then smiled.

     "I'm Wally, but you can call me whenever," he winked as he put an arm around her shoulders. Hannah elbowed his ribs, and he fell off the couch. "I'VE BEEN SHOT!!!!" he shouted. Everyone rolled their eye, while Hannah giggled a little.

     "I'm M'Gann! A martian!" the green girl said, smiling at her. Hannah saw that this girl's soul was pure white. Wow, not even most angel's souls are that white. Hannah's was, but not other's. She liked her.

     "I'm Connor," Superboy introduced himself. Hannah nodded at him.

     "Nice to meet you guys!" She decided to be polite.

     "My name is Artemis," the blonde girl stuck her hand out, and Hannah looked at it, not completely sure what human gesture that was. Artemis raised an eyebrow at her. "What, you don't know what a handshake is?" she joked, but Hannah was completely serious.

     "No, I umm... must not be familiar with this human gesture," Hannah said, and everyone looked at her in shock.

     "When Bat met my brother, Gabriel, he used the word clueless, is that what I am?" she asked.

     "Not really, there are just some things you aren't familiar with," a dark skinned boy whom had not been introduced said.

     "Oh, alright, what's your name?" she asked.

     "Kaldur," he simply said. Hannah smiled at him then looked behind him. She jumped up and raced into Hal Jordan's arms.

     "Hal! It's been to long!" she said, wrapping her small arms around him. John pretended to pout. 

     "What about me? Do I get no love?" he joked. Hannah twisted out of Hal's arms and into John's.

     "Hey kiddo," Hannah said. Everyone tilted their heads except those who knew her age.

     "Kiddo?" Artemis said in disbelief.

     "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to explain," Hannah scratched the back of her neck nervously. "I have the maturity and body of a 20 year old, but really I'm older than time," she chuckled at everyone's shocked expressions. "My body will start aging when I meet my soul mate," she explained.

     "Soul mates exist?!" Wally exclaimed.

     "Yup," Hannah popped the 'p'. "And there are two pairs in this room," she smirked, looking between Artemis and Wally, then Connor and M'Gann. Said four people blushed and distanced themselves from each other. All the adults introduced themselves, and Batman pulled them all aside after being introduced. 

     Hannah, once the adults were gone, called out, "Hey! Do you guys wanna see my wings?" she asked. Everyone, except Robin nodded. Robin, of course, didn't nod because he could already see them. "So there is gonna be some popping and cracking, but don't get freaked out, it doesn't hurt to much," she said.

Robin's POV

     I couldn't stop staring at her wings. They were beautiful. But why was I the only one who could see them. I was snapped out of my trance when the wings disappeared, then sickly cracking and popping was heard, and the wings started to protrude from her back. Instead of the one pair which I saw before, I saw three pairs of golden wings, with purple tips and some purple feathers scattered randomly.

     I heard some gasping and realized that she was probably showing the others her wings. M'Gann reached out, then stopped herself. "May I?" she asked.

     "Of course," Hannah smiled at her, and M'Gann stroked her feathers. Hannah closed her eyes, smiling, and one by one people felt her wings. I really wanted to, but, at the same time I was scared. But what have I got to lose by feeling some wings. She did a lopsided smile at me when I came up, I noticed from the corner of my eye Bruce and Superman watching with interest. She looked so calm, but when I touched her wings we both jumped away. A shock just went through my entire body, and apparently that happened to her too. What's going on? Hannah stared at me, mouth open.

     "Battsy, I'll have to think about the offer, but I'll get back to you soon," she said as Bruce was about to open his mouth.

     "I told you when I was twelve, don't read my mind," he said. Hannah shrugged, and with a flutter of wings, she vanished. We stared at the spot where she was last standing, Kaldur was the first to snap out of his trance. "Before you ask, I was going to offer her a spot on the team with you guys, it would be a huge advantage having her, she has powers and fighting skills none of you could ever match," Batman explained just as Kaldur opened his mouth to ask.

     Everyone started talking at once. "What are you thinking?" we all asked.

     "I'm thinking that I could use some help from my guardian angel, because I have a feeling something real bad is going to happen soon," he said, as he turned and walked away.

     "She seems really nice!" M'Gann was the first to speak.

     "But she also seems badass," Artemis said.

     "And pretty," Wally smirked. Just then a hand slapped him on the back of the head. We all turned to see a man standing next to Bruce. He had whisky eyes and... what the hell? He has a lollipop and a bunch of sweets in his pockets.

     "Stop thinking those dirty thoughts about my twin!" he said, and Batman smiled.

     "You're Gabriel?" Connor asked.

     "The one and only trickster! Loki!" Gabriel smiled, before dope slapping Wally one more time and disappearing with a flutter of wings.
