Song Fics

Robin's Nightingale

Robin ran across the rooftops of Gotham, keeping an eye out for trouble. He didn't expect to hear the whispers of a song catch his attention.

I can hold my breath

'Is someone in danger?'

I can bite my tongue

'Are they looking for a way out?'

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

'Are they being held captive?'

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

'Does the Joker have someone?'

Robin began to move faster to the voice that danced on the wind.

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

But I'm only human

'Does a meta have this person?'

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

'This person sounds distraught.'

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human, yeah

Robin stopped at an apartment building. He noticed all the lights were off, but one.

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that's what you need

Be your everything

He noticed the song become more prominent. He used his grapplehook and swung over to the window with the bright light, landing on the fire escape.

I can do it

I can do it

I'll get through it

But I'm only human

He observed a girl ripping open moving boxes. When she got to the bowls and pans to put in the kitchen, she glared at them.

'Do they remind her of someone?'

And I bleed when I feel down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human, yeah

She threw all the pots and pan in the sink.

'She must not like that person.'

I'm only human

I'm only human

Just a little human
