Character(s): Robin (Damian Razem), Applejack
Location: Quad
Rating: G-PG at most
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: It's been more than a month and Damian hasn't seen the other Robin anywhere. So he's taken to "watching" AJ and other blondes around Garden to make sure they're not secretly a superhero. This obviously can't end well.

It'd been a while since he was last in costume. After that fiasco with Aang - which actually ended well, now that Damian thought about it - he'd avoided the costume, save for Disciplinary Committee patrols with Seifer. (Ha! The sooner he quit that joint, the better off he'd be. Really.) Adjusting his goggles, he cautiously watched the area from the highest vantage point possible.

His target - that blonde girl with the country accent - was in sight! And she didn't really seem to notice he was around! Double points. Comfortably settling himself, Robin continued to watch her for any signs of suspicious activity. If she were Robin, surely she'd give herself away sometime this evening.

... Hopefully being the keyword. (Robin really didn't want to do this again, though it would be a good excuse to shirk his duties.)

"There you are! You alright? That's quite a tumble you took there." Applejack, barely slowing her pace, moved to stand in front of Robin with her arms folded, giving the boy a stern look. As she'd thought, it was a kid. "You're a slippery one, aintcha? You'd best tell me what you think you're playing at, tossing weapons an' running about in all them fancy colours."

Gah! How good of an actor was she? Robin made a face as he cautiously lifted his ankle. "Give the act up," he grimaced, remembering to use the voice distorter (for once). "You're a Robin, aren't you? You have the same build--and same ability to dodge things."

Why yes: he was implying that AJ's entire life, up to this point, had been one giant lie.

Well, that was a sure-fire way to leave poor Applejack confused, and it showed in her face. "Are you accusing me of being a bird? Didja knock your head or something? I didn't see you bump your head..."

"Not a bird!" He groaned, tossing his arms in the air. "Robin's a title! A legacy passed down by Batman... him... self..."

She really was a native. Not even the Bats could fake this kind of confusion. Robin slowly buried his face in his hands. "It's... you looked like you could be one..." Today just really wasn't his day.
