---- Then...

I whisper, leaning closer to the wide eyed kids who leaned on me on the carpet in the dimly lit room Their eyes sparkled with wonder, hanging on my every breath, every gesture as I told them about one of my heists.

Tlefi everything behind, tucked away in places only those in need could find.

Because what good is gold in the hands of a thief when it deserves to be in the hands of hungry? The kids sit up a little straighter, reflecting upon my words when one of the boys asks, his voice filled with awe and worry.

But what if they catch you? I shrug my shoulders to ruffle his hair.

A chuckle leaves my lips.

Ah but that's the beauty of it.

Isn't it? A real hero is never afraid of being caught when he knows he is doing the right thing.

No one knows my face so don't ---- ee = worry.

All you should know is that justice and kindness still walks this world.

And one should never be afraid when doing the right thing.

The kids fell silent, thoughtful, their young minds turning over my words and a strange feeling of pride fills my insides....

Knowing I could plant the seeds of courage, justice and kindness in them.

The very seeds which will one one day grow up to be strong trees of fearlessness and righteousness.

One day they would change the world for the best.noveldrama

And I will be helping them lay the foundation of it.

You are like a hero from the stories we read...

but real.

The girl beside me murmurs, her eyelids already drooping and I softly caress her hair to have her lay on my chest.

One by one the kids began to lull, their tiny bodies sink into the comfort of each other and my heart swelled seeing them so carefree and innocent.

A ---- feeling of protectiveness fills my chest.

I will always protect these fragile souls.

I promise moon goddess.

As the last Childs breathing softened, I slowly sneaked out but not before pulling a threadbare blanket and tucking them inside it.

Tracing the edge of my mask, I take a last look at them to walk away when I feel a small hand grabbing my wrist T look down at the small boy looking at me with groggy eyes.

Will you come back again, Robin? T crouched to his level and place my palm on his head to reassure him Don't I always? As long as you need me I will always be here in the shadows.potecting you and.

looking after you.

He nods dropping back to lay down and I cover him up with the comforter.

Placing a soft kiss on his ---- eee = forehead, I take my leave.

I softly close the door behind of the orphanage and I panic seeing the time.

11:55 Damm.

I barely have five minutes to reach back.

Thad barely turned around when I hear a voice behind and I freeze.

Do you really think teaching children to be future thiefs like you is heroic? You are a fallacy, Robin Hood.

Not a hero.

My heart thuds rapidly in my chest and when I turn around.

There he stood, casually leaning against a wall with his arms folded on his chest and his deep set green eyes fixated at me Damian? Fuck!
