Hi everyone! This is going to be my newest fanfic for a while. I DO NOT OWN YOUNG JUSTICE. This is my first fanfiction with Young Justice or any Superheros so i don't know how to write this type of thing very well. By the way, italicized words in the quotes are the mental link.
Robin led the team across the familiar rooftops of Gotham City at twilight. He crouched down on a rooftop across from a warehouse and motioned for the others to do the same. Their mission was to figure out the Joker's plan then catch him. He had escaped from Arkham, again. The Arkham guards really seemed quite stupid to him. Aqualad was normally in charge of the team but Batman had put Robin in charge for now because he knew the Joker best, therefore making him suitable as a only lead so far pointed to this warehouse as a base. As expected a black SUV pulled up in front.
"Miss Martian, can you get any closer?" Robin asked.
"I can try," she answered. About 10 minutes later they all heard her voice in their heads.
"Ok, I've established a telepathic link. The Joker is inside but there are a few dozen guards patrolling," She reported, "So, what's the plan?"
"Perhaps we should find out what his plan is before we decide to make a move" Aqualad suggested.
"That was what I was thinking; we should rendezvous inside the warehouse. Split up. Artemis and Aqualad go in from the east, Miss Martian from the south, Superboy and Zatanna west, and Kid and I will enter through the north." Robin ordered. He received a round of replies from around the group then nodded to Kid-Flash.
The two of them moved together towards the front of the building and, after Robin helped Kid-flash get to the roof, they silently entered through a skylight. They found a good cargo box and peered out from behind it.
"How long does it take? It's been 2 days, I've robbed 6 banks, and I even messed with the police and still no show!" The Joker muttered.
"Understand what he's talking about?" Kid-flash whispered into Robin's ear.
"No. Maybe he is expecting to meet another villain? Do you have any ideas?" No answer.
"Hello?" Robin turned around. "KF!" one of the Joker's goons had him in a choke hold. He reached for his utility belt to grab a batarang when the guy pulled out a gun and pointed it at Kid-Flash. He froze. The 13-year-old was nervous. Surprisingly, it was pretty rare any of them were held at gunpoint. He relaxed his shoulders as a sign of surrender.
"Rob, what are you doing? Are you kidding? Are you really going to surrender to a gun?" Kid-flash asked through the mental link, his face confused.
"Just be ready to move." The goon had been so confused by the Boy Wonder's quick surrender that he hadn't noticed the young vigilante's hand slip behind his back. Before he had time to realize what was going on and pull the trigger, Robin flung the batarang at the goon's hand.
He screamed out in pain and dropped the gun. Seeing his chance, KF kicked him in the gut and dodged out of the way. Kid and Robin nodded at each other and bolted towards the Joker, their cover was blown anyway.
"Team, move in!" Robin the rest of the team jumped out from hiding and within a minute or two, all of the goons were knocked out. They surrounded the Joker, ready to fight him.
"Aha! Well, it's about time you kiddos showed up. What's next? Fireworks?"
He pulled out a trigger and when he pushed the button a bomb went off cause the building to go ablaze. The Joker had already vanished by the end of the explosion and Miss Martian had to put her hand on Superboy to steady herself against the heat.
"We need to get out of here!" Artemis yelled over the mental link.
"Yeah! Miss M and Aqualad won't be able to stand the heat much longer!" Zatanna agreed.
"Ok. Everyone out!" Before anyone had time to move they heard a creak above them. A gigantic beam came rushing down towards them. It only took a split second for everyone to dive out of the way. When his eyes adjusted to the smoke Robin looked around, seeing he was the only one on his side of the beam, and that it was too large to jump over.
"Robin! Are you ok?" Superboy asked.
"I'm fine! Go ahead and get out of here. I'll catch up with you when we're all safe." He took off running towards the door, dodging more beams and jumping over debris. His cape however got caught on a box and he struggled to free it. He eventually had to rip it off to get away from the fire. Finally he reached the doors and burst through them. After sucking in the fresh air for a moment the Boy Wonder continued to run, swinging from the rooftops of Gotham, like the bird he was. Once he was able to maintain a safe distance, he decided to find the rest of the team.
McCann? The mental link wasn't working. Why wasn't it working? He should be in range. Maybe she was too weakened from the fire? He hesitantly switched on the communicator in his ear.
"Team?" He waited for an answer. Still no answer. Then a reply came. But-No, it couldn't be. Impossible.
"If you want them, come and get them."
There's the first chapter. I had a little trouble with the ending though and i think i used rendevouz wrong. As for the story plans, I think i have some pretty good ideas, and there will definently be some Daddy Bats at some point. Please Review.
