How To Guess a Robin's Identity

Scars

Hi.

Anyway this time the team discover Robin's lovely collection of scars.

The song is called 'Battle Scars' by Lupe Fiasco & Guy Sebastian (which I recommend listening to).

I don't own anything as much as I wish I did.

Hope you enjoy.

Robyn

The wound heals but it never does

That's cause you're at war with love

You're at war with love, yeah

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading

Don't look like they're ever going away

They ain't never gonna change

These battle...

It was an unusually hot day at the cave and of course the air conditioning was broken. Kaldur and M'gann were suffering the most but no one was enjoying the heat. Everyone was trying their hardest to stay cool; they all wore short sleeve tops and shorts, and had enjoyed the nice cold ice cream from the kitchen. The only person still wearing their normal clothes and looking completely unprepared for the weather was Robin, who wore his normal sunglasses, jeans, top and jacket, hiding most of his skin.

Of course everyone was curious but they knew better than to question Robin, it wasn't likely he would give them a straight answer.

Currently the whole team was relaxing outside on the beach as they had decided it was cooler out by the sea then in the Mountain itself. Kaldur was standing in the water trying to keep cool, M'gann was sitting on the sea edge, dipping her feet in the waves under an umbrella. Conner sat next to her running his hands through the sand, enjoying the texture and occasionally trying to shape it into something. Wally and Artemis were deeper out in the sea having a splash fight after Wally insulted her.

Robin was sitting on the sand his back to the mountain as he watched his friends. He wanted to join his friends and take off his jacket, maybe dive into the water to cool down but he knew if he did, his friends would be shocked by all the scars that littered his body. It wasn't like he thought they didn't have their own scars, he knew they did, it's just he had a lot (especially for his age) and he was still a bit self conscious about them.

"Hey, Wonder Boy. Are you going to join us or just sulk? You look like you are boiling alive." Artemis shouted from the sea before Wally tripped her over. She fell over below the waves, but she quickly jumped back up and splashed the unsuspecting Wally in the face.

"Are you okay Robin? You sure you don't want to join us? The water is nice and cool!" M'gann asked concerned.

"I'm fine, just not that hot. You guys enjoy!" Robin shouted back with a fake grin on his face. That was an absolute lie, he was boiling.

Out in the water, Artemis scoffed - how could anyone not be dying in this heat?

Robin went back to his mental argument. He honestly did want to join them but he was unsure about their reaction. He went back deep in thought, not paying attention to his surroundings, thinking that the rest of the team was still playing around further down on the beach. He was right, mostly.

While he had been thinking and consequently not paying attention, Artemis had snuck up behind him. She quickly grabbed and lifted up the Boy Wonder in a bridal hold with little effort, gaining a gasp of shock from said boy as he was unexpectedly lifted into the air. Robin desperately struggled to get out of Artemis' arms as he could guess what she was going to do. But as much as he struggled he couldn't escape as he was too tired and sweaty from the heat, and honestly? Artemis was strong, which he already vaguely knew and should have expected.
