DC/Young Justice Imagines (REQUEST OPEN!!!)

🐦Tim Drake/ Red Robin 🐦

Reader and Red Robin hate each other but a black out in Mount Justice keeps them locked in all by themselves. Things may just evolve.

Lights Out:

I didn't know what to do when the lights went out. It was so dark, my hand was swallowed in the black. Just great. First I screw up my biology test and now Mount Justice is all but a black mound.

I didn't dare say a word. Most of the team was out. It was likely I was the only person and if I was and this was an attack, I can't give away my location.

I slinked my way through the halls. Let my muscle memory guide me while stopping every few paces to listen for a noise. I hated this. It's not that I am afraid of the dark but in my line of work, not knowing what is ahead of you is dangerous or even at times, fatal. I tried to rack my brain as to where every possible hiding place or vantage points were in the mountain.

The slightest shift in the air caused a faint noise however my eyes did not detect it in time. I felt ropes wind around my feet and upper body. Crap! I fell with a thump but did not make a noise instead I tried to as quietly as possible, roll away from my attacker. The trick gave me enough time to reach for my dagger and slice the ropes. I was up within a split second, in a fighting stance, with dagger in hand.

Still no noise. This must be the quietest fight I've ever been in. I dared to release the carbon dioxide sitting in my lungs. My attacker seemed to take this slight sound as an invitation to copy my movements. While they felt relaxed, I lunged forward and took my hilt and stabbed it into their stomach which caused them to keel forward. This lead them into my waiting elbow which sent them to the floor.

I straddled their waist and pressed my dagger to their throat. I reached for my torch and shone in their face in hopes of identifying who had attacked me and if they had any marks to indicate who they worked for. However, my heart dropped when I shone my light onto a handsome face with dark locks and gorgeous eyes.

"What the hell, Robin?" I growled at the good looking idiot who made my blood boil. "I could've killed you." I lowered my dagger and sheathed it.

"Oh no." Sarcasm laced in his tone. I rolled my eyes. "Could you get off me?" I looked and realized we were rather close. I scrambled off with a slight blush on my cheeks.

"Let's just go and see if anyone is in the Mountain." I grumbled and was about to walk away.

"There isn't anyone else. I checked. Their was a power surge and it caused a black out."

"Then why did you attack me?!" I screamed at him. He laughed.

"Because I was bored." I rolled my eyes and shoved him. "Arsehole." He grinned however I could barely make out his expression as my torch offered little light. "Be nice. We are stuck in here until the power comes back." I started walking away. "Where are you going?" He shouted after me.

"To dig a hole out of this damn mountain." Robin eventually caught up with me and I grumbled profanities at him. I was in no mood for the mini Batman. "Could you just leave me alone?" Robin shook his head.

"Have t make sure you don't do anything stupid." I glared at him. He was acting as if I was a child. We are the same age! I just ignored him after that as he went on and on about mistakes I had made in missions.

I spun around in front of him. "Okay! I get it! I'm a failure. I cause everyone trouble!" I stormed off with a dumbstruck bird being left behind in the dark.

His words had certainly hit home. I was well aware that I caused unnecessary trouble for the team and that I ad yet to master my powers on metal which is why I opted for weapons instead. I was also well aware that I had caused many mission to either end up in disaster or close to it. Everything he said was true, I was a failure. I cause problems which I can't solve and I am no help in the team. I sighed and eventually made it to the training room where, even in next to no light, I was aware of where all the dummies were.

In order to hone in on my senses I switched off the light and took out the dagger. Instead of using it however, I morphed the blade into a liquid and split into smaller pieces which I hardened and sent into the heart of each dummy. As usual my skills were perfect in the training room but failed me out in the field.

I stood still with blood beating in my eardrums from my anger and hurt pride. Why couldn't I just figure out my problem. I want to help. More than anything. Due to the different emotions and demons battering me from the inside I didn't notice Robin sneaking up on me but I did notice when his lips were on mine and suddenly the pain went away.

I forgot why I had ever been mad or rude to him. I forgot why I was standing in the training room with tears in my eyes. All I could think about was the feel of his lips on mine and his arms wrapped around my waist. Who would have thought that Birdbrain would be the one to finally calm the demons in my mind.
