A Cat Never Lies (A Young Justice/Robin Fanfic) ON HIATUS

Chapter 8 - Singing

Robin's POV:

As I grapple away from the candy store, I let out a breath i didn't know I was holding. I can't believe that I actually had the guts to do something.... so..... I can't find the word for it, but i sneak a glance behind me, as i have come to rest on a roof quickly, and I see her sprinting away, her tail streaming out behind her, and wind running through her ears. It seems like her vibrant teal gaze is imprinted in my mind, and I really can't seem to get the thought of her out of my head. God, I was messed up. I am a hero, and she was a villain, sorry, an anti-hero.

Batman didn't really need me for Killer Croc, he just told me to go to the cave, but I kinda wanted to leave with an aura of mystery. 'I wonder what she thinks of me?' I ask myself as I grapple away, feeling the wind pushing through my hair. I make it to the Gotham Zeta Tube, and I zeta to the cave. Zetaing has always creeped me out a bit, because to me it feels like i turned to light, and then reappear somewhere else. Its just a disturbing experience.

I step into the cave, seeing everybody mingling around. Wally arguing with Artemis, Superboy staring at static on the TV. M'gann baking, and Aqualad supervising everything, attempting to converse with Superboy. You don't bother Superboy when he is in a television mode, you just don't. 

"Hey peoples, you whelmed?" I call, and Wally dashes over, grateful for an excuse to get away from Artemis. "Dude, where have you been?" he asks, and I shrug.

"With Batman." Is my chalant reply. I stride into the kitchen, and am just about to sink my teeth into a cookie, when we hear a voice calling us into the mission room.

"All team members report for mission briefing" comes Batman's voice from the intercoms. I groan loudly, and so does Wally as we reluctantly set down our cookies, and in to the mission room. Or rather, I hop on Wally's back, and he runs to the mission room.

"Giddiap, black beauty!" I shout, as we arrive at the mission room, cracking up. Batman is there, and so is the Flash, Black Canary, Red Tornado, and Captain Marvel.

The team lines up, and we get our mission from Batman. 

"This isn't an ordinary mission," Batman states in his gruff voice. "The Justice League needs an under cover group to tail a person."

"Who?" We ask in unison, but nobody laughs when the bat is being serious.

"Catgirl."

~TIME SKIP~

Bruce had a business deal to make tonight, and I had to go with him. I got permission to bring the team, but undercover. I told them, and they all hurried to get ready.

"Where's my shoes?" (M'gann)

"You can make them!" (Artemis)

"Oh, thanks. (M'gann)

"Grunt" (Superboy)

"I'm the wizard of Oz!" (Wally) 

"Shut up Wally, no you're not. Get whelmed, I think you've had to many cookies. (Robin/Dick)

"Everyone just get ready at a timely pace." (Aqualad)

"Move over Wally, you're on my jacket!" (Artemis)

"What?" (Wally)

Slap! "OW!" (Artemis hitting Wally)

Catgirl's POV:

~Minor TIME SKIP~

I slip into bed, exhausted, and almost as soon as my head hits the pillow, I get a text from my best friend, Sapphire.
