That's enough for me, boyfriend.

Maleficent, Day 311. Strawberry tart; 1-3 uses depending on how it's cut.

( Robin 056-most of 057)

Spoiler and Robin are beating up bad guys - prescription drug addicts that needed their fix. Steph almost steals some sodas for the pair after they beat the guys, but Robin tsks at her until she lays money down for it. They talk a little bit about the Huntress and how her morals are completely different (Steph is, for the most part, still wowed by her post-No Man's Land) and Robin says it's good Steph didn't turn out that way because Huntress's family is entirely bad. Enough to make Cluemaster look like a girl scout.

Also, we find out here, Steph's mom finally got help for her prescription drug abuse and is on the mend! That's nice.

Next day, Robin and Spoiler meet up and Robin announces that she can never be a part of his real life because that secret is just too much for her, she seems to take this okay -- after all, he still wants to be her boyfriend, just...not share any private information with her or let her know his secrets and presumably he is still dating this other girl on the side but. THAT'S OKAY RIGHT. They kiss, and part ways.

Next time we see them, they're on their first date, which Robin has so kindly made a surprise (also note that, he never calls her Spoiler, wow rude):



They go to a sci-fi movie and no one gives them a second glance. Steph attempts to initiate makeouts and Robin is, as always, kind of awkward about it. They go for pizza afterwards and Robin admits that sci-fi isn't his favorite, then cuts off halfway through explaining to Steph about his best friend at school. She admits that she thinks he's brave and sweet, and way too good for her. Then he takes her on her first trip around Gotham's ruined buildings (really, most of Gotham is still ruined post-quake, but it's no longer No Man's Land so that's nice), and she exclaims that she loves this! Running around on rooftops is so cool! Suburb buildings are too far apart for that, really, and this is one of the first times she's traipsed around Gotham proper in Spoiler :').

She complains that she still doesn't know his real name and he distracts her by saying "at least Robin is a name."



Then they laugh and end their date, since Steph has to get home to her mom.

Effects:
• NORMALLY THIS WOULD BE A HAPPY MEMORY. But coming on the heels of her last two memories and with her nice, happy relationship in Aather this makes Tim Drake look like the ultimate jerk.
-1000 Tim feelings sorry bro but really.
+50 peevishness because wow ok Batman still doesn't like me
+50 grumpy feelings all around
+100 appreciation for Mako though so that's nice :'|b
• Unlocked: knowledge of the existence of Green Lantern, Aquaman, Nightwing, Huntress! Basic info on the Huntress as well as Steph's awe of her, also remembered.
• Unlocked: knowledge that there was a huge earthquake relatively prior to this. Probably around 1-2 months ago.
• Unlocked: knowledge that Tim had another girlfriend the whole time and also that they're probably staying together.
• Unlocked: knowing that she has a tendency to pick shitty guys :'( and that her last boyfriend was a jerk and super aloof.
