Elemental (Robin x Reader)

Chapter 17: Another Half

"So a few things happened to you in that sim. Go ahead." Black Canary sat in the chair in front of me.

This was basically a therapy session, I had to go through a lot of these with her when they first rescued me, I was a bit unstable after all of that. Anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks. Everything was gone after I met Robin.

"Why am I like this," I whispered, "I should have been like the others. Should have thought Artemis was dead, and that everything was real, but I knew it wasn't."

"You're right, you didn't. You stayed strong, you followed your belief and it was right."

"This time, my belief has made me almost hurt the team. It's like a demon taking me over... I saw something that night, in the roof of the Tower of Fate. Something That I didn't tell anyone else about. I didn't even believe it... I saw me, but it wasn't. This me had pure black eyes, no iris, no pupil or white, just black. She was wearing this strange outfit, and she told me to shoot the ice at the team... I knew she was a figment of my imagination, I'm sure of that, I made her appear in my eyes... But why? Why am I like this?"

"The figment of your imagination could have been an easier way to channel your anger, into something that was entirely evil, and that would tell you the wrong thing to do. You're still young (Y/n), you still have to train. You're incredibly powerful, being half Lord of Order, and half something we don't know..." Black Canary trailed off.

"Exactly, I don't even know what I am. I'm dangerous."

"We're all dangerous," Black Canary assured, "What about you and Robin?"

"What about us?" I asked quietly.

"You two kissed didn't you? When did you first realize you feelings?"

"I honestly don't know. When we met we just clicked." I shrugged.

"And what about the song you two wrote, and the necklace."

My hand instinctively went to the necklace.

"We didn't really think of it as anything, we were such good friends, we didn't think of each other as anything more. We were young too, we still are. But i guess being a hero makes you grow up faster... Robin and I talked, we'll continue to be good friends, maybe go on a date every so often."

"I see... You're dismissed."

I layed in bed that night staring at the ceiling. So much was happening, and I was overwhelmed. If Robin were here he's say I had to 'stay whelmed', or 'get traught'. The thought made me smile and I eventually fell asleep.

I stood in an inky darkness, wherever I walked I could see however. I heard humming, and a copy of me with black eyes walked into the light, she had a different out on though (Copy's outfit in picture above)

"It's you, the one who told me to hurt my friends. Who- What are you?" I asked.

"I'm you, well the figment of your imagination. I'm your other half."

"Other half, so you know what I am!" I got excited, the memory of her telling me to hurt my friends gone, "What am I?"

"You're half demon." B.E.M (Black eyed me) smiled eerily.

"No, no you're lying! Demons aren't real." I insisted, I couldn't be half demon, that means a part of me is evil, the thing I swore to fight against.

"Why aren't demons real? Martians are, Atlantis is, you're the daughter of a Lord of Order for goodness sakes!" She paused, making eye contact with me, I shuddered, her eyes were the only thing that weren't mine, and they were haunting.
