They finally left, leaving me shaking and embarrased. Maybe I was over reacting but I guess it happens, especially the two people you invite are men.

After a hour or two, Ellie was chugging down cans of Coke and Pepsi to see if her kidneys will go nuts. And while she was doing that, I was on the phone talking to Stephen, apologising for running away today. He also talked about the funeral preparation for my Uncle.

Apparently they were to drop off the body at our house, but I refused. I didnt want to see a body of a loved one without a soul. So they decided to hold his body in the hospital two days more but then they will force the body into my home.

I couldn't bare to see his lifeless body in my home. It would look sick and disturbing, not to mention the dreams i'd get every night.

Once Stephen finished and hung up on me in a hurry, I ran over to Ellie who was burping and laughing in the kitchen at her mobile phone. I entered, catching her attention. Piles of Coke and Pepsi were all over the place...
She probably finished all of the cans we ever had.
She stops the video on her mobile and then pulls out of her kitchen stool, quickly skipping up to me and shoving the mobile in my face.

"OH MEH GAWD, LOOK AT DIS" She points at the device and I immediantly grab it before she didnt anything that upset me.

"Oh" I reply, my mouth formed in the shape of a 'O'.

She tapped the play button and reversed back into her stool, carefully observing my face like an idiot.

The video played and my eyes were focused on the screen. A small african american appeared, he was standing in a dark room with some TV light reflecting on his skin.

"What's naan plus tane?" The guy behind the recorder questioned, jogging the camera a second.

"Twenny won" The boy replied, throwing his arms behind him and teasing on his joints.

"You stawpid" The guy recorder finished and the screen blacked out.

"Hahahahah, hes so dumb" Ellie got up and snatched the mobile from ym hands, leaving my position frozen, as if I was still holding it.

"Rude much" I snap, turning around and walking over to the counter with a extra slice of cake from the dinner with Bruce and Dick.

I pull up the plate and dig my fingers in, filling my mouth with it like it was the stuffing for a turkey.

"Mmmmm" I smile to myself, chewing on it and enjoying the flavour. Soft spongy chocolate cake with buttercream icing and milky chocolate sprinkles.

I began walking up to my room, leaving Ellie alone downstairs since she kept acting like a bitch - Total waste of time.

I saved her and she should at least show a little respect, Jesus christ.

When I finish eating the cake, I end up at the top of the stairs. Licking my fingers and walking to my room I hear a loud spaced beep. The sound you would hear on a bomb. My physical agility kicked into action and I dashed over to my room, leaving my plate on the floor.

There stood a tall manly figure.

Robin.

"WHAT THE-" I scream and he leaps over at me, clasping his right hand over my mouth and slamming me gently against the free painted wall.

"Shushh, I'm just doing something" He replied, gesturing me to calm down and removing his gloved hand from my mouth.

"Oohh, date tonight or something? You look..." He scanned me and I JUST REALISED, I was in my fancy dress...

"Why are you being such a flirt right now? You weren't anything like this at the hospital" I whisper, pushing him away slowly.

"Were alone, thats why" He replied, moving away from me and over to the balcony.

"Dont freak, I'm gonna go okay?" He opened my balcony doors and swiftly stepped outside. His hair was ruffled and his small cape flowed behind him.

Before he could jump off I quickly legged it from the wall to him and pulled him inside, pinning his body against the wall and sighing deeply.

"I'm not going to let you leave until you tell me why you came here" I had my arm on his throat and he just smirked in reply.

"Nice, badass I see" He snickers and rose a eyebrow, throwing fuel to the fire (my anger)

"Dont you understand English Boy Wonder?" I threw emphasis on the B's and W's.

"Not only that, Spanish, french, Ger-"

"Shut up - Please" I groaned, letting him go and landing on my bed which was right behind me.

"Wow, Bats was right about you" He smiled mischeviously giving me a eye-rape.

Did I expect eye-rape from Boy Wonder? Nope, totally unexpected.

"No reply? Ok, so you got invited to the team. I heard you said no and went blitz" He looked down at me and shrugged his eyebrows, leaning on the wall and opening the holographic watch that was buckled onto his forearm.

"Yeah, I dont want to get involved in this stuff" I reply, snorting sarcastically and sitting up on the edge of the bed.

"So, if I ask you will you join? I'm sure you will feel the aster" He sniggered and got off the wall, walking closer up to me and kneeling down. He shut down his watch and went silent.

"Um, no - I dont even flipping know you. You might be a paedophile behind a holographic mask" I shuffle away from him in discomfort, my evening dress still on me.

"Fine, no Aster!" He groaned and then moved away, walking to the balcony and walking out of the door he opened a few minutes ago.

I've heard that word Aster before...

But who from?..

Things are getting weird

"I have to go, bye Scarlett" He smirked and launched a grappling hook, dissapearing into the deep hypnotising black night sky.

He's kinda cute, yet jerky. Immature too, also lets not forget how much of an asshole he his.

I like him
