Kaldur

Kaldur'ahm knew Robin. Not as much as Kid Flash, and not enough to know the younger's true identity.


Robin was the first 'sidekick' to enter the hero business. And so other heroes went and took protégés of their own. Kaldur'ahm was one of them. Alongside Kid Flash and Speedy, the four of them knew each other.


Kaldur'ahm is now the leader of their team, and even those Robin was the first partner, he was not ready to lead. It was true that he does show potential. There are moments where has his pearls of wisdom, and has managed to take over when needed.


And yet... and yet it almost felt like most of the time it wasn't from him.


Kaldur couldn't quite explain it.


And as he thought about it, for a while now, something didn't... feel right with Robin. Unfortunately he couldn't pinpoint it, but one day he suddenly got a feeling that something wasn't right with Robin.


Perhaps there was an air of magic around Robin, and perhaps it felt faintly like a curse. It was very, very unfortunate that whatever it was, it wasn't Atlanian magic, so it was very hard for him to tell.


Although... there were times when he activated his magic, he could almost see... chains. Wrapping around Robin. Most notably around the neck. And if he were to observe closely... he could catch a hint of whoever, whatever, Robin was connected to.


Kaldur'ahm wonders if it was best to destroy those chains. Because a chained robin cannot fly, and could drown should high waters begin to rise.
