Finally, the chapter is here. The pairing poll has been closed. I was surprised at how many people voted so quickly. Then when everybody stopped, I added the reviews of what you said you wanted with the results and it is tied! So I came up with an idea to add both pairings just at different times. We will start with RobinxZattannna. I'm not sure yet about the red-x/talon thing, someone also mentioned renegade so that will come later and I will put up that poll on my profile. Ok, on with the story.
Robin POV
The pain is too overwhelming. Another scream rips through my through my throat as Joker makes another cut into my chest. I can hear my teammates crying in the background, begging Joker to stop hurting me. The madman just keeps laughing as he continues to damage me. He makes one last cut into my chest before he pulls the knife away. He takes a look at my chest, admiring his work. He had carved his name into my chest. I look into my teammate's eyes as Joker left the room to retrieve his next torture device. Both of the whites of my mask had fallen off so I knew they could see the fear in my eyes as I could see theirs.
This isn't how this day was supposed to go. It was just supposed to be a simple covert mission but of course that just had to go wrong just like it did seven years ago. Today was the anniversary of my parents deaths. I guess this whole thing was my fault too like how their deaths were my fault. Suddenly, Kaldur spoke up.
"I am sorry Robin." He stated. What? Why was he apologizing when it had all been my fault?
"No, Kaldur, I'm sorry, I should've known tha-"
"Stop!" Yelled Zattanna " Dick, you sacrificed yourself, you'd just been tortured to protect us and you're apologizing? And on today of all days?" I didn't know what to that so I just remained silent. Then the doors slammed opened and the clown prince of crime walked into the room with his signature eerie grin plastered on his face. He pulled out his knife again and leaned in close to my face.
"Well bird boy, I should be leaving soon, Batsy should be on his way by now. I just want to give you another keepsake from uncle J!" He pressed the tip of the knife on the left corner of my mouth. I kept a straight face and glared at him.
"Why so serious?" He laughed as he cut me. He had slashed upwards, making it look like a smile. It wasn't too deep but deep enough to leave a scar, then he did the same to the other side so I now looked like I had a big smile on my face. I saw him put something on top of me but I was too dizzy from the blood loss to figure out what it was. My teammates on the other hand, seemed to know what is was as they screamed for him to take it off me. He got up and left the room. My friends struggled against their restraints as the item on me started to make a ticking noise. I suddenly realized what it was. It was a bomb.
Dun, Dun, Dunnnnn! Well, there you go. First chapter of the Reboot complete. I hope you all enjoy this. I will update soon.
