“Have আপনি guys seen Willow?”
“Not since আপনি 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 আপনি yelling at her. Why can't আপনি 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 আপনি 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! আপনি are in.”
“Hi Wally. What do আপনি 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 আপনি doing?” Wally asked.
“Research.”
“About Becca? অথবা 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 আপনি 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 আপনি 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 দ্বারা now if she did.”
“Rob...”
“It's okay Wally. I'm just paranoid.”
“Maybe. But I know আপনি were meant to be together. Everyone does.”
“And what makes আপনি so sure?”
“Well for starters, আপনি guys never seem to fight.”
“We have just not in front of আপনি guys.”
“Second, it's clear that আপনি two প্রণয় each other. Everyone can see it. It's not a new thing. We've all seen it. And আপনি are always good to her.”
Robin shrugged, choosing not to answer. Wally stared at him for a minute.
“How do আপনি do it? How do আপনি handle jealousy?”
“I don't have to. Becca doesn't play games and neither do I.”
“Is that why আপনি guys are so...loving to each other?”
“No. Becca and I really do প্রণয় each other. As for jealousy, we've talked and we understand each other. On a deeper level.”
“...So why do আপনি think Willow and I fight? Cause I'm not sure we're even good for each other anymore.”
Robin smiled.
“Oh আপনি are. আপনি guys just need to talk. Talking isn't as boring as it sounds Wally. I got to see আরো of what Becca needs and wants. So I know how to treat her and respect her.”
“You guys must talk a lot if আপনি 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 আপনি the only guy she sees?”
“As of now? I'm not sure.”
