Questions

I woke up the next morning and realized I still had the tux on. I was just happy that my uniform was under it. I took off the tux, and put my mask back on. I was even sleepier than before and I wouldn't doubt if I had bags under my eyes (thank you mask). The ground wasn't the best place to sleep after all. I was also starving and thirsty. Maybe staying here wasn't such a good idea, but what was I supposed to do? Turn myself in? Ask the Justice League for a home? Um...no.

I wanted to try to sneak into Mount Justice, but of course the zeta beams had to call out I was here.


"Robin!" They all yelled simultaneously.


"Yes?" I asked acting casual.


"Where did you go last night?" Kaldur asked.


"Oh me? Oh.. Well you see... I... I um... I found that Dick Grayson kid, and tried chasing after him." I said nervously.


"Did you catch him?" Kid Flash asked actually believing me.


"No." I said heading towards the kitchen to get a snack. I had to eat something.


Once I got into the kitchen I grabbed a small bag of chips and a water bottle. The water was refreshing and the food was awesome, even if it was just chips.


"Hey those are my chips!" Kid Flash yelled coming into the kitchen.


"Sorry?" I said chuckling.


"Hey Robin are you okay?" Kid Flash asked worried.


"Yeah, why would you ask that?" I said feeling worse about lying to him.


"You've been acting different lately... I don't know. You haven't even butchered the English dictionary lately." Kid Flash said getting less serious.


"I don't butcher it, I perfect it! And I haven't been acting different?" I said trying to get him less suspicious.


"I don't know... What did Wonder Woman say to you during the mission briefing?" Kid Flash asked me.


"What? Oh... She wanted me to keep an eye out for that boy Dick Grayson." I said lying.


"If you want I can help you find him later." Kid Flash exclaimed.


"No, it's fine. I don't think we'll find him." I said as a voice came from our intercom.


"Hey Robin Superman is here, and he wants to talk to you." Connors voice said through the intercom.


"Well I have to go." I told Kid Flash as I headed towards the main room. I guess it was question time.

"Have you found out who this mysterious source is?" Green Arrow asked me.


"No, have you guys talked to Bruce?" I asked them.


"Yes we have. We also want to know where you are staying." Superman said seriously. I did not want to tell them I was basically living on the streets.


"A secret room Batman set up incase of emergencies." I replied calmly. All this lying was starting to get to me... I had to stop soon.


"Do you have food and clothing?" Wonder Woman asked.


"Um... No?" I said smiling a little and earning some worried looks.


"Have you eaten since?" Flash asked worried.


"I've had a cookie and a bag of chips..." I said forcing a smile.


"Does your team know about this?" Martian Manhunter asked me.


"No." I said putting my head down.


"We will supply you with food, if you need help you can just ask Dick." Superman said worried.


"I know..." I said, but I just didn't want to ask for help.


"You can go back now. Every morning we want you to come here early so you can eat." Wonder Woman said. I nodded and headed towards the zeta beam. At least I now had a food supply...
