Romani
Summary: On a mission Robin gets hit by a weird Ray gun thing that makes him only able to speak in his native language, Romani, leaving the team absolutely confused. Poor Wally only knows a few words, so ROBIN gets to have fun and troll the team!
Sorry, I have to use Romanian as I can't find Romani and I am pretty sure it isn't a written language. So sorry for inevitable mistakes.
And talking about the Amazing Spiderman 2, SPOILER ALERT I REPEAT SPOILER ALERT!By the way I love Percy Jackson, the Titan's Curse isn't my favourite but I still love it, and yeah, I just had to add that.
The whole movie thing I will be back to with the Lion king later but I wanted to do that.
Hope you enjoy, thanks for reading.
Robyn out.
When Robin woke up he was lying on a bed in a white room, which he quickly realized was the medical bay in the cave (he'd had enough accidents to know the room on sight at this point). Wait how did he get there? The last thing he remembered was being in Star City fighting a group of thugs with the team than everything else was blank. He mentally rolled back through his memories, trying to find where everything had gone wrong. It had been a typical surveillance mission, they'd been discovered (as normal), then the villains had pulled out an unknown weapon. He'd been hit by it and then darkness. Great.
As Robin sat up, Kid Flash, now in civilian clothing, ran through the door, quickly followed by the rest of the team. They all looked worried, which made sense since he had been hit by an unknown weapon.
Robin looked at them questioning and asked "Ce s-a întâmplat?" (What Happened?).
The team looked at him confused.
"Dude, what did you say? Was that even English?" Wally asked looking even more worried about his friend.
"I-am spus, ce sa întâmplat?" (I said, what happened?).
"Robin, speak English, we can't understand you!" Artemis exclaimed annoyed.
It took a second for Robin to realize he was speaking Romani. "Nu pot" (I can't). He tried to speak English but found he couldn't, he then tried any other language he knew and he found he couldn't speak any of them either. He was stuck speaking Romani. That must have been what the weapon did - make him speak his first language. What use was that? It wasn't the normal kind of evil weapon criminals usually found. An evil grin appeared on Robin face, terrifying his friends. This was unexpected but he could use it to his advantage.
"Rob, why are you looking at us like that? Dude, stop it! You're freaking me out!" Wally exclaimed getting really creeper out by the mischievous spark in his friend's eye and the grin on his face.
Kaldur suddenly got a thoughtful look on his face and quickly left the room before returning a minute later, with a weird red gun in his hand. Robin got the feeling that he had figured out what had happened as well; he would have told them his own theory but there was currently the language barrier issue.
"This was the gun one of the thugs shot at you. It threw you back against the wall and you glowed red before falling unconscious. We thought it didn't have any affect on you, but what if it did and you were stuck speaking a different language? But why that language and which language is it?" Kaldur explained. Everyone had stopped looking at Robin and turned to face Kaldur as he re-entered the room near the back of the group.
"It's Romani, his native language and wait..." Wally said before turning back to Robin. "You can understand English, can't you?"
"Gee nu Wally, eu sunt doar la întâmplare vorbesc. Bineînțeles că înțeleg limba engleză, Kid Idiot. Așteptați i se poate folosi acest lucru pentru a troll toți. Răzbunare!" Robin cackled at the end, his voice dripping with sarcasm at the start. (Gee no Wally, I am just randomly talking. Of course I understand English, Kid Idiot. Wait I can use this to troll all of you. Revenge!)
"Was that sarcasm? I'm sure that was sarcasm. You insulted me, I know you did. Arty, Robbie is being mean!" Wally whined.
"Oh shut it Kid Mouth!" Artemis snapped at Wally.
"What do you think Kaldur? Do you think it will wear off or do we have to reverse the effects?" M'gann asked ignoring Wally and Artemis.
"I think we should wait till Batman comes to collect Robin in a few hours then talk with him." Kaldur sighed. They didn't have the technology, equipment or knowledge at the minute in the cave to try and reverse the effects; they would have to wait for some of the adults.
"Em...what do we do now?" M'gann asked.
"We call Batman then wait, I'm sure we can manage to try and understand Robin." Kaldur stated as calm as ever.
A few minutes later, the whole team was sitting in the lounge area, bored (Kaldur had stepped aside to inform Batman of the situation, he hadn't picked up so Kaldur had left a message and re-joined the others). So far understanding Robin hadn't been going well, so they had given up on trying to converse.
"Hey! Why don't we play charades?" Wally suggested, bouncing up and down. He'd gotten sick of the silence and didn't have the patience to just sit around for any longer.
Everyone one swiftly agreed, as they were also getting bored and Wally stepped forward to start. He mimed the word for book and six words. He started running round swinging an invisible sword, then pretending to run into the shadows.
"Percy Jackson și blestemul lui Titan!" Robin shouted, knowing about the series of books as Wally and he had recently started to read them together. Out of all of them it was Wally's favourite in the series. (Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse.)
"Yes! Well I'm guessing you said the correct answer." Wally stated slightly confused and went to sit back down.
"Wait, what did Bird Boy say?" Artemis asked.
"Oh, Percy Jackson and The Titan's Curse. A friend convinced me to read the series so I made Robin read it with me and we fell in love with it, my favourite one is that one." Wally said.
"Why is that your favourite?" M'gann asked kindly.
"I guess, because the characters remind me of us. Artemis is Thalia or Zoe because she uses a bow and has a bad past. Robin is Nico because they can both disappear into shadows becoming ninjas and both lost their families. Kaldur is a bit like Chiron because of his kind attitude. M'gann is kind of like Bianca because of how nice she is and whole new life thing, apart from the fact she didn't abandon a brother. I have no idea who Superboy is, maybe Beckendorf, even though he doesn't appear in that book. And I guess I see myself as Percy, because we are both sarcastic and train hard for others to except us, but it doesn't always work." Wally explained nervously, he whispered the last bit, but every one heard.
"How about we do something else." Kaldur suggested, choosing to ignore what his friend had said for the minute as he obviously didn't want to talk about it. He made sure to keep a mental note so he could discuss it at a better time. After discussing options for activities they collectively decided to watch a movie. M'gann made popcorn and they all settled down on the sofa and put the movie in. They had decided on The Amazing Spiderman 2 (they had seen the first one a couple of days before and superhero movies were a guilty pleasure of theirs).
Everyone enjoyed the film, every so often Wally would leave to get another drink or more food, but that was the only disturbance.
They also had a few comments ("Seriously why do all heroes create their villains and have horrible back stories?" "Shut up Wally!")
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 SPOILER ALERT
Then it came to the part near the end, when Spiderman fought Electro and Green Goblin.
To the part when Gwen dies.
The part where she falls to her death.
SPOILER ALERT OVER BUT YOU WILL BE VERY CONFUSED IF YOU DIDN'T READ IT SO PRETTY MUCH SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS THAT REMINDS ROBIN OF HIS PARENTS WHO FELL TO THEIR DEATHS!
Everyone's reactions were different. Wally looked shocked and felt sympathy for Spiderman, Artemis let a tear fall, Kaldur lowered his head in sadness, Superboy frowned and M'gann started to cry a bit.
But the worst reaction was definitely Robin's.
He looked shocked than started crying and kept repeating, in Romani still.
"Nu, nu, mama, tata, nu poți fi mort, ridica-te, te rog ridică-te, am nevoie de tine, nu, nu, nu." (No, no, no, no, mom, dad, you can't be dead, get up, please get up, I need you, no, no, no.)
Wally looked at his friend in horror for a minute, realizing what had happened and quickly started whispering to him after pulling the crying Bird onto his lap. Everyone else stopped what they were doing to look at the pair confused. They hadn't expected that extreme a reaction from their youngest member, it was just a movie but clearly something had triggered him. Wally gave them a look telling them that it wasn't the time to ask and kept whispering to Robin until he cried himself to sleep.
"Look, it's not my place to say, why don't we just finish the movie and let Robin sleep." Wally stated more then asked. He was still holding Robin tightly to his chest, trying to offer some sort of comfort to his friend.
Everyone nodded silently and continued to watch the movie, glancing at their youngest member every so often. They all understood tragic pasts and bad memories, they were less curious and more worried (though they were at least a little curious) and wouldn't pry or bring it up unless Robin did.
Half an hour later, after the movie finished and they had put the tv on quietly in the background, the Zeta-Beam activated announcing Batman's arrival.
Batman walked into the lounge curious, confused and worried. He had received Kaldur's message so had expected to be greeted on arrival but no one met him. He glided from the entrance hall towards the lounge, theorizing that was where the group of teen heroes would be. The sight he was greeted with almost made him smile. Almost. The whole team was fast asleep on the sofa, the tv still playing quietly in the background.
M'gann and Conner snuggled together on one of the sofas, Kaldur was resting his head against the arm of his arm chair, and Artemis was curled up on another arm chair. The sight that did make him smile in fact was Robin fast asleep in Wally's lap both snuggled together.
Batman quickly took a camera out of his utility belt and snapped a couple of pictures to use as blackmail later and to keep to remind of him of his little bird.
Batman then moved silently over to Robin and carefully picked him out of Wally's arms, cuddling him close in a bridal carry. Robin turned and snuggled into his chest before sleepily opening his eyes and whispering.
"Love you, Tată," (Daddy).
The quiet words warmed both Batman and Bruce's hearts.
He quietly whispered, "Love you too, Fiu." (Son)
He kissed his son's head and silently walked back to the Zeta Beams. He would figure out the language weapon later, first he needed to take his son home.
