Not what you requested but it is Roy and a Robin


It's curiosity, really, that and the knowledge that Batman's up in orbit right now, that's got him checking out the new Robin. She doesn't notice him as quickly as Dick would, even back when he was in the panties, but she covers it pretty well when she does, ignoring him to get him to follow 'til she's on her ground, and because Roy's a gentlemen, he does. She lets him catch up to her on a flat roof with a pigeon coop in one corner and a door leading to the rest of the building on another.

"Arsenal. Does your daddy know you're out this late?" Robin-the-blonde steps out of the shadows, grinning like--

Not really like Dick or Jason or Tim, but still close enough to make him smile back.

"Does yours?" She stiffens a little, and maybe she is doing a little extracurricular. Robin's have never been good at sticking to 9-5. He holds out his hands. "Relax. I won't tell my mentor if you won't tell yours."

There's that smile again, Robin-bright. "Cool." Said it like she means it, and with enough energy to make him pretty sure she's still in her teens. It's hard to tell exactly. She fills out the uniform pretty nicely, strong legs in the green tights, but she's not that tall. Her smile changes, just a little more adult. "And I won't tell yours that you've been ogling the new Robin for the past fifteen minutes."

Thirty, actually, but he's not going to tell her that. "You haven't been in the game for long or you'd know that the Green Arrow wouldn't exactly be grounding me for that."

She laughs and moves, leaning back against the wall with one knee bent, foot flat on the bricks. "Hey, I understand. I am the first Robin to look this good in a skirt."

Roy grins. "Not even close."

She wasn't expecting that, but he can see the little clues when it hits, even before she licks her lips, pink tongue darting out over Robin-red lipstick. "Oh," she says.

Roy wonders which one she's picturing.

Y'see, one reason I gave so many options is because I thought you just might take more than one and perform a bit of alchemy.

And you did, and it is nifty.

*grins at them and at you*

Steph was the first Robin that came into my head when you said Roy/Robin, and she just wouldn't leave, dammit.

Roy and Jason-in-a-skirt? A lovely, beautiful image. Even though Jason-in-a-skirt would probably look like a tool.

I like the way Roy's automatically in mentoring mode with the new Robin, encouraging, rather than critical, and how this doesn't stop him from flirting one tiny little bit.

*admires*

For some reason, Stephanie was just the first place my head went when you said Roy/Robin. It's one of the great tragedies of DCU that they never met.

*coos* I am very fond of Roy when he is on his good behavior.

Roy has that Mae West thing. When he's good, he's very, very good, and when he's bad, he's better.
