Nobody's POV

   "I stopped as soon as I realized what had happened, I didn't go very deep, but I was so busy trying to alert you and Batman that I went too far," Acacia says, her grip on the table so strong that her knuckles were turning white, "I only have one question, but it's okay if you don't answer"
   "Two minutes are-" Robin starts but is interrupted when Astrid bursts through the door
   "Why aren't you..." she trails off when she notices Robin, "well, if it isn't Boy Wonder himself"
   "In the flesh" Robin says as Astrid begins to come at him, jumping up and bringing her leg around to his face
   Robin throws himself backwards and out of the way of Astrid's kick.
   "Tes nibor no-" Astrid starts, but is knocked down by her sister before she can finish.
   "You're not setting Robin on anything, especially not fire" Acacia says, a shocked expression on her twin's face
   "You traitor!" Her sister screams, "you did this! All this! You knew this would happen!"
   "So what if I did?" She says trying not to lose her head and keeping as calm as possible, "both of you knew I was against this!"
   "Oh, you're going to pay for this betrayal, Acacia! You'll severely regret this, I'll make sure if it" Astrid yells, the anger she has built up starting to show, as she begins the jump up and spin into the air, kicking her leg out to hit her sister
   Acacia ducks down and spins her leg around to knock her sister down. Astrid falls to the floor, and Acacia backs up slightly
   "Your anger clouds your judgement, Astrid, if I weren't the one attacking, you could have been killed easily," the brunette says, "I don't want to hurt you, Astrid"
   "Well, I can't say the same thing about you, dear sister, because I'm feeling a strong urge to kill you, right here, and right now," Astrid says, standing back up, "but I won't in front of the boy wonder. dnes em ot eht terces ecalp!"
   In what seems to be the blink of an eye, Astrid disappears.
   "So you were telling the truth, about sabotaging your father's plan" Robin says from behind the brunette
   "That's what I've been trying to tell you this whole time," Acacia says walking back over to the computer and typing something in, "thanks for finally listening, actually, just thanks for listening in the first place"
Robin sighs and walks over to Acacia. He pulls another chair over and sits down next to her.
"Look, I'm sorry you've had to go through all of this. First, your mom, then your dad and sister. It's a lot," Robin says in a sympathetic tone, "and you've managed to stay both sane, and heroic"
"I don't know... I just haven't really been losing my head over any of this. What happens happens, and I can either do something about it or not. I don't see the point in going into overwhelming mayhem and crazy schemes of revenge over an accident," Acacia says, "but, I guess, grief does things to people"
"You've stated quite whelmed about all of this," Robin says, placing a gloved hand on Acacia's shoulder, "not many people can do that"
"Thanks," Acacia replies, "I learned it from observing you"
Robin's face showed that he was slightly shocked by her reply, so Acacia took this chance to ask about the one thing that had been bothering her.
"You know, of all the things I've seen today, there's one trusts been bothering me, that I can only seem to find one logical explanation to," she says, "and now that I actually put thought into it, the possibility of me being right I'd rather high."
"What is it?" Robin asks, regaining his calm composer
"Why could I reach the bat cave from the Wayne Enterprise system?" She says, looking at her computer, "the only reason I can think of is that-"
"And that's my cue to bring you down to the front of the Wayne Enterprise building" Robin says pointing to the computer screen which shows everyone outside the building across the street
