“Have bạn guys seen Willow?”
“Not since bạn yelled at her, no.”
Wally glared at Artemis, who was sitting in a chair with a book. She looked up at him, eyebrows raised.
“I'm serious Wally. We could all hear bạn yelling at her. Why can't bạn just leave her be? She's probably flirting because she misses Becca. People act out when someone goes missing. Well, most people do anyways. And Willow did nothing wrong.”
“So everything is my fault?!”
“Between bạn ad Willow? Pretty much.”
Wally turned away from Artemis with another glare.
“Where's Rob?”
“His room,” Megan answered.
“Hmm. How long has he been in there since Bats told us to wait for the League to get a good lead on Becca?”
“Almost four hours.”
“Poor kid. I'll go check on him.”
“Good luck,” Erin called. “You'll need it. He's in one of those moods. Which I understand.”
“Thanks, red.”
“No problem, speedy!”
Wally walked to Robin's room, knocking on the door. There was no answer, but he could hear the rustling of papers. Wally knocked again, louder this time. The door swung open.
“Oh! bạn are in.”
“Hi Wally. What do bạn need?”
“Nothing. I want to talk to you.”
Robin looked at his best friend, examining the usually clear green eyes. He opened the door wider and motioned with his head for Wally to enter. Wally did, sitting on the bed. Robin's floor was littered with papers and Wally wasn't sure what was on the computer. Robin closed the door, sitting on the floor. He looked up at Wally, his expression open.
“What are bạn doing?” Wally asked.
“Research.”
“About Becca? hoặc how to find her?”
“...A little of both.”
Wally nodded, taking the picture off of Robin's nightstand. He'd seen the picture many times but had never looked at it.
“You must miss her,” Wally whispered.
“More than bạn think.”
“I bet she misses you.”
“...Sometimes I'm not sure.”
Wally put the picture down, looking at his best friend now.
“Why wouldn't bạn be? This whole thing was not your fault.”
“I know. But sometimes I wonder if she really misses me. I think she'd be back bởi now if she did.”
“Rob...”
“It's okay Wally. I'm just paranoid.”
“Maybe. But I know bạn were meant to be together. Everyone does.”
“And what makes bạn so sure?”
“Well for starters, bạn guys never seem to fight.”
“We have just not in front of bạn guys.”
“Second, it's clear that bạn two tình yêu each other. Everyone can see it. It's not a new thing. We've all seen it. And bạn are always good to her.”
Robin shrugged, choosing not to answer. Wally stared at him for a minute.
“How do bạn do it? How do bạn handle jealousy?”
“I don't have to. Becca doesn't play games and neither do I.”
“Is that why bạn guys are so...loving to each other?”
“No. Becca and I really do tình yêu each other. As for jealousy, we've talked and we understand each other. On a deeper level.”
“...So why do bạn think Willow and I fight? Cause I'm not sure we're even good for each other anymore.”
Robin smiled.
“Oh bạn are. bạn guys just need to talk. Talking isn't as boring as it sounds Wally. I got to see thêm of what Becca needs and wants. So I know how to treat her and respect her.”
“You guys must talk a lot if bạn guys don't flirt with other people.”
“No. But...Becca is a very stubborn soul, but she's also fragile. I don't want to be the reason she breaks and I don't want her to leave me. We only flirt with each other for the reason that we want the other. Besides, Becca's the only girl I see.”
“Are bạn the only guy she sees?”
“As of now? I'm not sure.”
