How To Guess a Robin's Identity

Nightmares

Hi again.

5 times Robin helped a teammate with nightmares and the one time they helped him.

Also fun fact - I'm an archer myself (so I do know what I am taking about with archery).

WARNING: Nightmares, also implied/referenced child abuse, also mentioned suicide (last two are both brief).

I own nothing.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for reading.

Robyn. 

1 - M'gann

It was the mental scream that woke Robin up. He quickly slipped out of bed, grabbing a pair of his black sunglasses (the ones that he kept next to his bed whenever he slept over at the Mountain) and rushed out of his bedroom door.. It was one of the rare occasions where he had been staying over at the cave as Batman was off world and Alfred was away visiting a friend, plus it gave him a great excuse to spend more time with his friends.

He wasn't the only one that had been woken up by the screaming, Artemis and Kaldur looked out of their rooms in concern as he dashed down the hall. He was the most awake it seemed as Artemis' eyes were barely open and Kaldur was yawning continuously. He waved as he moved towards their doors, still creeping along the corridor towards the source of the mental scream.

"What's wrong?" Artemis asked worried, hand moving towards her mouth as she stifled a yawn.

"It's okay. Go back to sleep both of you. I'll see what's wrong with M'gann." Robin smiled hoping to comfort his friends.

"Are you sure my friend?" Kaldur questioned, eyes blinking repeatedly.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Get some sleep." The Boy Wonder smiled and moved past them down the corridor to M'gann's room.

He quietly opened the door, peering into the room. "M'gann?" Robin whispered as he tip toed over and sat down on the corner of M'gann's bed.

"Robin?" She asked quietly, sitting up. "What are you doing here?"

He narrowed his eyes as they adjusted to the dark room, inspecting her face carefully, trying to see if there were any signs of her previous distress. "I came to see if you were okay? You called out in your mind to everyone." Robin whispered gently.

"I did? I'm so sorry for waking you up!" She asked hurriedly, eyes wide open in concern.

"Nah, it's fine. You okay?" The bird shrugged (honestly, he was used to long nights and little sleep).

"I'm fine Robin, it was just a nightmare." She put on a half smile that did nothing to convince Robin of her actual state.

"It sounded bad. I'm here to listen if you want to talk. It's nothing to be ashamed about, everyone gets nightmares. Even Batman!" Robin smirked at the end of his little speech.

"I . . . I don't think I can talk about it." M'gann had tears silently streaming down her face.

"It's okay, you don't have to." He pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back to calm her down as her crying got worse. He whispered calming words to his surrogate sister. And with that the dam broke.

"N...no I want to. I've watched enough programs to have heard that talking about it helps." M'gann hiccupped as she pulled away from the hug. Robin smiled encouraging and comforting her.

"In my dream I had never left mars and everyone was still bullying me, because I was a white Martian. It doesn't sound like much but..." M'gann looked down at the end, ashamed of getting so worked up over nothing.
