I walked to my old room and sat down. I took a deep breath. It smelled so familiar. I also smelt another smell. It smelt of sweat and candy, smell I would associate with a circus. I thought of something that happened a long time ago. When I found out Batman’s secret identity. If he was Bruce Wayne, that means Robin was…no way. Circus, gymnastics routine, Master Grayson…ROBIN WAS DICK GRAYSON!!!!!! But that still didn’t explain why he was in my room. I closed my eyes and focased on my past life, the life of me as a thief, assassin and, most notable, a ninja. Master Grayson’s ghostly body appeared in front of me.
“Master Grayson. It is good to see you” I smiled
“You too Night. But wewe did not summon me just to exchange greetings. What is on your mind?” she asked
“Your son, Dick, when I ‘disappeared’ he was very worried. And, the night I was taken, he wanted to tell me something important. Kalder alisema he wanted to tell me he… then he was cut off kwa a beach, pwani ball to the head kwa a red-faced Robin. Do wewe know what he wanted to tell me?” I explained
“It is not up to me to tell you” she said
“I don’t want wewe to tell me, I want to know if wewe know” I demanded
“I know” she nodded. She faded as someone knock on my door.
“Come in!” I called. Robin opened the door and walked in. His face was back to its natural fair completion.
“I take it wewe put some aloe on for your sunburn?” I guessed. He looked away. I could tell his ‘sunburn’ was back.
“So, what’s up?” I asked
“Nothing really. Just wanted to say hi” he smiled.
“Now tell me what’s really up” I smirked
“I…uh…was…kind of… wondering…” he started
“Yes?” I persisted
“If wewe would want to… I don’t know… grab some lunch?” he asked
“You mean like a date?” I asked
“Only if wewe want it to be” he alisema quickly. I smiled and kissed his cheek lightly. His face went cherry red.
“Of course” I whispered. He smiled and walked out. I bit my lip slightly to suppress my joy. I hadn’t gone out in ages. I quickly grabbed my calendar and wrote in a time on the nearest Saturday. I tapped my comm. unit.
“Robin?” I asked
“Yeah?” he replied
“How does 12:00 work for wewe this Saturday?” I asked
“It’s perfect” I could practically hear his smiled. I smiled as I laid on my kitanda with a small ‘EEP’ of joy.

"Umm, a big power drill that fell into a hole?"
“Now stir until the batter is nice and gooey”
"What's wrong, Erica?"
"So this is how humans die?"
"In a ghost town?"
"Pinky promise?"
"She looked at my hand, where my promise ring was missing."
"The birthday girl!"
"I felt my body crash on something hard."
