Closed RP, Tim and Rose meet up

[creepyboy]

Tim intended to find his new Nest as soon as he’d had a quick overview of the park. He’d seen the, he presumed Sky Way if his map was correct, passing over head, and thought that that would be a fantastic way to check things out. He’d found his way to Fantasyland, and was very pleased he had not been placed there, and entered one of the buckets. He

Rose frowned when the kid didn't even wake up when he landed on the bottom of the bucket. "Damn, kid... you must be tired." She curled up in the seat next to the boy's back and unzipped it. Laptop bag, clothes, calculus... ah HAH.

She stared at the 'R' and smiled, running her fingers over the armor but avoiding the razor-sharp edges of the 'R' itself. This was a Tim who had come through Crisis - or had lost his Superboy somehow, based on the suit's colors of black and red. Unless there was some other reason for a Robin to suddenly change plumage. She glanced down at the teen curled up on the floor of the bucket and sighed.

Carefully putting everything back into the bag the way it belonged, she pushed it into a corner where hopefully it wouldn't fall. Once it was wedged into place, she pulled off must of her weaponry - the bulkier pieces, anyway - and sank down onto the floor of the bucket. Legs stretched out in front of her as far as they'd go, she pulled the sleeping boy to where his head rested on her thigh, and started carding her fingers through his hair.

Even if this Robin hated her guts... at least he'd get a decent night's sleep out of the matter.

By all legal definitions, yes, this Timmy-Robin had come through the Crisis. However, after getting beat with the everyone he cared about dying around him stick? Well, sometimes Tim felt like it was only legally that he'd come through.

"G'way Dick, 'm a'ight." Tim muttered. He didn't bat away the hand though, even as unfond of touching as he usually was, or the movement. He was having a nice dream for once, one where he was back in Young Justice, and the worst thing to happen to the team was the various times people had quit. He'd known back then that they were a family and would never stop being one together.

Rose sighed and kept running her fingers through his hair. "I wish Dick was here." The first Robin she actually... well, maybe not got along with, but he'd sponsored her onto the Titans, so she liked him. And he was easier to get along with than 'her' Robin was.

[creepyboy]

Considering at times a prickly-pear cactus was easier to get along with than Tim? Not saying much.

Tim slept for several hours, several times whimpering in his sleep before calming. FInally though, he started to twitch and whimper, and call out, tensing up and curling in on himself looking smaller than normal.

[rose_ravager]

Rose dozed off and on, waking enough every time he whimpered and moved to soothe him back to sleep. When he called out and tensed, though, she snapped awake, and pulled him closer. "Rob... Rob... god, I wish I could remember what your name was... Robin, wake up."

[creepyboy]

"Robin, you failed us. You let us die, why did you let us die?" Steph, his dad, his mom, Kon all revolved around him asking him the same question over and over again. He couldn't talk, couldn't move, just had to watch them continuously asking him. It was almost worse than if they had accused him. They all looked at him with the same hurt expression, all wondering why he didn't try hard enough, do enough to save them.

Tears soaked through his closed eyes as he curled into fetal position, trapped in the nightmare, unable to break free. He was moaning steadily now.

[rose_ravager]

Rose dragged him further onto her lap. "Shh... shh... c'mon, wake up..." She didn't want to do what she thought she might have to, didn't want to smack him... but she knew she would. No hero came out of nightmares easy...

Neither did a lot of villains.

She shifted the way she held him and slapped his cheek hard.

[creepyboy]

Tim's eyes flew awake and he flew to the opposite side of the bucket crouching, ready for whatever was going to come, except for the fact that he wasn't really. He slowly remembered he was supposed to be Tim Drake, and straightened up. Shit, Rose Wilson. Could his day get any better? At least he didn't have to admit to being Robin. He could say thanks and get off.

"Thank you for waking me, miss." Tim nodded at her.

[rose_ravager]

Rose half-sighed, half-swore, and eyed the teen slowly. "Don't pull that 'miss' shit with me. You know exactly who I am. I just wish I could remember your thrice-bedamned name."

[creepyboy]

Tim cursed the fact that they were midway along the route and he couldn't get out of the damned bucket. He was now leaning towards a demonic influence having brought him here. Otherwise, why would she be here too?

"I'm really sorry ma'am, but I think you have me confused by someone else." Tim simulated the standard Gotham look of being confronted by a loonie. keeping his front to her and looking for an exit and raising his hands to look unthreateningly.

[rose_ravager]

Rose sighed. "Right... so someone else put Robin's gear at the bottom of your gym bag?" She's sitting closer to the bag than he is - lucky happenstance, that. "Guess it won't matter to you, then, if I take it with me back to my crash space to keep an eye on it, since he's my team mate, and you're obviously just a kid." She's baiting him deliberately, now, wondering what he'll do.

[creepyboy]

Tim wavered. He really didn't want to have to deal with Rose, or being Robin here and if he didn't have the suit, he wouldn't have the temptation. But at the same time, he didn't trust Rose as far as he could throw her. If she let him anyway. But then again... no dealing with any of that stuff while he was here, with someone who at least knew how to treat armor...

"What do you want to leave me alone Ravager?" Tim finally sighed and slumped down, burying his face in his hands. What did he piss off?

[rose_ravager]

Rose frowned when he called her that. "Depends. What's the last memory you have of me?" Depending on the answer...

[creepyboy]

"You, naked, in my bed. I handcuffed you and took off with Red Devil." Tim rubbed his eyes. He was less tired than he usually was when he woke up, and chalked it up to the fact he'd almost felt safe while sleeping in the air.

[rose_ravager]

Rose grinned at that memory, before she realized what that meant and swore. "Rob... that was months ago for me."

[creepyboy]

"How many months?" Tim askes suspiciously. He reached for his bag and pulled out his laptop, booting it up. "What's gone on since then and how much worse has it gotten? Also, I'm going to want a report from you on everything that's happened since you entered this place."
