When Robin realized that he was no longer in the hospital where they had gone to check on the mysterious cases of illnesses, he was conflicted whether he was glad to escape the gloom of the situation or irritated from being taken during such an important time. It was a good thing that the time spent here was relatively fast in comparison to the

And up comes Krypto, who jumps up on the seat oppisite Robin and starts to sniff at his milkshake.

"Dude," Kon sighs as he follows. "Leave his food alone."

[tim_drake]

Blinking, Robin watched as the dog bounced up on the seat opposite of him and started to sniff in an interested manner at his milkshake. Why was Krypto here? But if he was, that would mean...

Yep, there he was.

"Do you feed him regularly, Kon? That might help," Robin joked as he watched Krypto and his milkshake.

[mini_supes]

"Dude, he eats way too much. If he keeps it up, I bet it's gonna have to come out of my allowance." And Kon doesn't get very much allowance at all, so that? Would just suck.

He pushes at the dog. "Move." Krypto growls, but complies; Kon sits in the now empty space.

"So how are things going out there?" Is the obvious first question.

[tim_drake]

He motioned Krypto over to his side of the booth, and when the dog was situated next to him, he proceeded to idly pet his head. It was a comforting action, even if he had never been too fond of animals.

"It's...not pretty," Robin confessed, remembering the unconscious people and the "confessions" they had all made about their father figures.

"How about you? Chasing Krypto around?"

[mini_supes]

"Not pretty? What happened?"

As for the query about him, Kon glares at Krypto in response. "Yeah, -unfortunately-. He decided that the best way to leave would be to break my fucking window."

Krypto does not look very sorry for this.

"Raven's...hatred of her father overtook us. We eventually shook out of it, but..." It wasn't something that he wanted to remember for long. It was bad enough that they had been overcome like that, but what they had said...

"And I'm sure Krypto had good reason to break your window." Krypto seemed to be a smart animal for the most part, after all. He scratched the dog's chin as he glanced down at him.

[mini_supes]

"I asked him if he wanted to go outside. And he did." Kon doesn't think there's much more to it. Although there really isn't room in his head to puzzle that out when he's still stuck on the Raven thing. "It... overtook you?"

[tim_drake]

"We...all said how we hated our parents. Or parent figure, in my case." He still couldn't believe that he had actually said that he hated Batman. It almost felt like he had betrayed him somehow.

[mini_supes]

"...well, it's not your fault, you know that, right?" Kon senses Tim's unease over it. "I mean, you said it was Raven's anger overtaking you... so..."

[tim_drake]

"It's...nothing. I'll get over it," Robin said with a shake of his head. And he would, for the sake of their mission to find Raven. It was a moment's slip, and he would know to be more careful next time.

[mini_supes]

"Get over it, or just repress it?" Kon asks. Because the two are not inclusive, even if Tim sometimes seems to think so.

[tim_drake]

"Does it matter?" After all, he wasn't the only one with repression issues. And he really wants to just forget what he had said.

[mini_supes]

"Yes, it does." Kon says. "You can't go around repressing things... it just comes back to bite you."

Yeah, like he was one to talk.

[tim_drake]

"And you're talking from experience, huh?" Not that Robin was trying to take a stab at Kon or anything. He just...wasn't comfortable with the topic of repressing things. It was one of his coping mechanisms, after all.

[mini_supes]

Kon winces. "I'm not repressing anything." Wow. Wow. Pulling out the blatant lies again, huh, Superboy?

[tim_drake]

"Really? Then what were you going to say to me at the hospital before Bart came in?" Robin still remembered that clearly. He had been itching to know what the other boy had been intending to say.
