“Becca!”
She looked at him, eyes darkened and sad.
“Robin..”
Her voice was weak and her hands were shaking. He fell to his knees, unable to stand anymore. He embraced her tightly and she gave him a weak squeeze. He pulled away to look into her eyes.
“Robin...I'm not going to make it...”
The words made his puso thunder and tears rose in his eyes.
“W-what?!”
“I'm not going to live much longer...”
“B-but you're all healed!”
“Yes. But the dark magic was too much. I may have disposed of Anton, but he has disposed of me too.”
“What?! NO! NO!! I won't let you die!”
Becca gave him a small smile.
“I'm sorry. There's nothing you can do. But...I'm happy I could die in your arms.”
“Stop! Don't talk like that! We'll find a way to help you!! Just don't die!”
“I pag-ibig you Dick Grayson.”
“I pag-ibig you Becca Stevens.”
Becca smiled, raising a hand to his cheek.
“C'mon knave. Steal one last kiss?”
Robin swallowed around the lump in his throat. Gently, he placed his lips over hers. He pulled away slowly, his lips lingering over hers for just an instant. And Becca whispered with her last breath.
“Pirate of my heart. Forever. I pag-ibig you...”
She looked at him, eyes darkened and sad.
