β I'm only halfway through, let's see. β
β Do you ever think that we, that is to say our kind, were put on this earth for a larger purpose? β
β I put you on this earth. Your purpose is to enjoy yourself. β
β Is "okay" what you desire, (name)? β
β Every one of them is capable of abomination, even the ones worthy of admiration. β
β Wait. What's that I hear? Ah, yes. It's the angel of salvation passing over us. β
β You're ashamed of what we are. β
β I don't wanna kill people anymore. There it is. β
β I can pretend the fool. β
β I can't be definitive. So much of that year was a blur. β
β Now who's performing? β
β Enjoy yourselves, it's the point of living. β
β Aren't I enough? β
β From time to time, I like a little variety. β
β We're communicating so much better, no? β
β You ever think about those old days, when we were kids? β
β You think this is nice? β

β That's the moonlight lyin' is all. β
β Well... what's he like? β
β Well, it's the moonlight. β
β Shall we have a night out tomorrow? β
β Well, that would require curiosity and intelligence. β
β Well, now that I know you have a type I thought you'd be pleased. β
β What can I say? I'm a lot. I'm not perfect. β
β When your mother sees the devil in your eyes, it's a hard assessment to abandon. β
β Is my very nature that of the devil? β
β I'll let you reload. β
β You said I'm arrogant? Maybe I am arrogant! β
β I must confess, I'm very proud of you (name). β
β Did you not smile as he begged? β
β And that's why you and me ain't never gon' work. β
β That's why you're always gonna be alone. β
β My light. My (name). β

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned.
Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner.
11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi!
Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--?
Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?
Batman: This is Robin.
12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!!
Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What??
Jason: I stole his tires :)
Batman: Tried to.
Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did.
Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??
Batman: This is Robin.
14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello
Flash: Where do you even find these--
Tim: I found myself.
Batman: This is Robin.
17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!!
Superman: I give up.
Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.
Batman: This is Robin.
13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there:
Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?!
Batman: ... he came with the sword.

β I was, admittedly, a rougher thing then. β
β I apologize. I apologize. I apologize. I was only tryna show you my love. β
β Hell, I mighta even said yes if you wouldβve just asked. β
β Oh, forgive me. I... It was... Thereβs so much wine. β
β Iβm havinβ a fuckinβ night, okay?! β
β A month from my wedding day, and what do I dream about? β

β You know, you can always come here if youβre in need. β
β I donβt know much about what youβre saying. But it sure sounds nice.β
β Howβd you manage to get yourself through the front door? β
β I owe you everything. Please, join us. β
β My body was seized with weakness. Their gaze tied a string around my lungs, and I found myself immobilized.Β β
β I had planned to make a new life for myself in (place). That was to be my destiny. And now I know I was right. β
β Youβre their destiny, (name). β
β Emasculation and admiration in equal measure. I wanted to murder the man, and I wanted to be the man. β
β I had come there for (name), but I left thinking of only them. β
β These men look down on you. β
β Ten percent. Fifteen percent. Do you not know your value? β
β Do you suffer these indignities for some larger purpose? β
β I believe there is great opportunity in this city, but to seize it, Iβll need protection from the wolves. β
β It was a cold winter that year, and (name) was my coal fire. β
β And I found myself for the very first time, to anyone other than (name), confiding my struggles in another. β
β I was being hunted. And I was completely unaware it was happening. β
β And what exactly is the nature of your relationship? β
β Itβs the humidity. It does that sometimes. β
β You sayinβ I have shame? β
β You donβt need to defend yourself from me, (name). β
β Do you remember the best you ever had? β
β I had never allowed myself to feel emotionally close to anyone. β
β I shut that night out of my mind and turned my attentions back to life as it was before. β
β Quit talkinβ. I have to concentrate. β
β Youβve been avoiding me. β
β And rather than fix it like I should I run like a coward. β
β Do you think God heard you, (name)? β
β Iβm not the devil, you were wrong about that. But I can give you death. β
β It has shackled you in permanent exile. β
β Every room you enter, every hat you are forced to wear, all these roles you conform to and none of them your true nature. β
β What rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow. β
βΒ The first time I laid eyes on you, your beautiful face, I saw that sorrow. β
βΒ The first time I laid eyes on you, your beautiful face, I saw that sorrow. I did not know how it got there or why it was so voluminous. I can take away that sorrow, (name). β
β I can give you that death you begged your feeble, blind, degenerate, nonexistent god for. β
βΒ I can give you that death you begged your feeble, blind, degenerate, nonexistent god for. But I can do it... joyfully. β
β I can swap this life of shame, swap it out for a dark gift and a power you canβt begin to imagine. β
β You just have to ask me for it. β
β You just have to nod your beautiful head.. and say yes. β
β I love you, (name). You are loved. β
β I send my love to you, and you send it back round to me. And this circle, this home weβve barely begin to have a glimpse of... know it frightens me as much as it does you. β
β It is difficult to explain how their words disarmed me, how efficiently succinct and impenetrable his argument was. β
β All my conceptions, even my guilt and my wish to die seemed utterly unimportant, and I completely forgot myself and the barbaric scene that surrounded me. β
β For the first time in my life I was seen. β
β Be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology. β
β The blood, it came as a dull roar at first. And then a pounding, like the pounding of a drum, growing louder and louder.Β β
β I opened my eyes, and it was then that I realized the drum was my heart, and the other drum had been theirs. β
β I saw them sitting a length away from me. Radiant. And we sat there for some time. In throes of increasing wonder. β
