Work Text:

Her legs can barely swing here, Robin notes pretty much immediately. The courtroom is overly stuffy, boring, and full of people she doesn't know.

Steve, Eddie, and Nancy are sitting somewhere behind her, no doubt whispering about the absurdity of it all; how even in self defense, she'd managed to blab enough to get here.

She's only quiet now because of her anxiety medication, slowing down both brain and body to dampen the effects of said anxiety, part of the reason she's even here.

A loud noise gets everyone's attention as they start. Eventually, her leg starts bouncing, not with anxiety but boredom, and her mind drifts, imagining what kind of dinosaur the judge would be.

Definitely not a T-Rex, she thinks, inspecting his face as he talks. One of those long-necked ones? Nah, not a herbivore. Or one of those flying ones?

Speaking of dinosaurs, Will had been drawing one last week, but which one was it? Wait, was he drawing it because Holly was asking?

Robin didn't mind Holly, she was pretty cool for a kid, and Robin could definitely see both Nancy and Mike in her. Though, Robin does have an attachment to Nancy, maybe a crush, but it's probably not something she can act on. Even if Nancy does smile more with her.

"- Buckley!"

"God forbid women do anything!" Robin blurts, red-faced. "What?"

She can hear them snickering as her lawyer just shakes his head.
