Gotham Academy

November 4, 2011

Through the gates of Gotham Academy, a thin boy, who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old came strolling through. His stunning blue eyes searched rapidly searched the courtyard, until they came upon a girl with red hair, who was only a few inches taller than him.

His eyes lit up, and he started to walk towards her.

"Hey, Babs!" the boy said excitedly.

"Oh, hi Dick. What have you come to see me for this fine morning?" She asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh, I'm wounded! Can't I just enjoy the company of my best friend?"

She narrowed her eyes and was about to reply when the bell rang.

"Well, I gotta go to class! See ya later!"

"Dick, we have the same class..."

"Oh..." Man, he felt stupid! "We better go then, or ," he shuddered, "will have our heads!"

And so the pair navigated through the crowded hallways, occasionally bumping into the fellow student. Then Dick stopped short.

"Dick, what are you-"

There was a blinding flash of light, and in the space where Dick was standing before was empty space.

Jason angrily stomped through the manor. He made sure that every foot was put down harder than the last. He can't believe that Bruce would bench him from being Robin!

That thought made him stop his rampage, and he huffed angrily. Bruce.

It wasn't his fault! How was he supposed to know that those henchmen would jump him?

He continued to trudge through the deserted hallways, and by the time he had made it to the kitchen, all his rage that hadn't been let out made him about ready to snap.

But then an idea came upon him that made him forget all his previous turmoil.

Bruce was just concerned, that's all, he thought with slight regret. I might actually think he cares about my well being.

He stood there for a moment, trying to process the thought.

But that doesn't mean that I'm useless! Just because I was caught a little off guard does not mean I can't take care of myself!

And the anger hit him full force, louder than ever before. He didn't have any sensible thoughts, as his mind was clouded by it.

He needed to get out. Now.

But where could he go? He was grounded as Robin and Jason Todd.

But when has that ever stopped me before? A smirk slowly made its way onto his face.

He went upstairs to his room, and searched his desk that was full of useless objects left astray.

He pulled opened a drawer. His hands probed the sides, then reached for the very back. He full out grinned when he found his desired object. Jason gripped his red and black helmet and pulled it out.

Jason started to trek downstairs. He arrived at the grandfather clock, which he was just about to unlock when he felt it.

It was a tingly sensation that was felt upon his whole body. He looked down, but only saw a shining outline of his legs. And he was gone.

It was not Tim's day. In fact, it was worse than usual. Heck, a usual day was pretty bad!

First, he got subjected to the torture of a pop quiz in math. Not that he didn't know the facts, because he was extremely intelligent for his age, but that Conrad kept shooting spitballs at the back of his head, making it incredibly hard to focus.

Tim gritted his teeth through the whole ordeal, tensing up whenever the wadded up paper hit its mark.

After those agonizing 46 minutes, (A/N: That's how long my classes are) Tim had made it through the rest of his classes... up until lunch.

As the Boy Wonder made his way into the cafeteria, he noticed one of Conrad's buddies stick his foot out in an attempt to trip him.

To an untrained person, the foot would have been nonexistent until they fell, face first, onto the floor that was full of grime. But Tim was very well trained and could spot the foot easily. But, Tim could not give away his secret identity. Even someone else having a reason to be suspicious was looked down upon by the Dark Knight. And it was not average for any kid to spot the obstacle.

So Tim allowed himself to be tripped, allowed himself to be humiliated by the bullies, and allowed himself to be laughed at.

He slowly got up, and sluggishly walked to the table he normally sat at.

He sighed- yeah, this really was not his day.

And to make matters worse, Tim began to feel his molecules begin to shift. It was almost like going through a zeta tube. The only difference was the fact that Tim couldn't be sure where he was going to be teleported to...

Gotham City
June 17, 2018

Steph- erm, I mean, Robin- was soaring through the smoggy Gotham air. She felt the absolute freedom of swinging around the city. It was like she was untouchable, unable to be brought down. The feeling of the wind brushing past her arms, the rush of adrenaline, it was indescribable!

It was one of the things that made her duty worthwhile. She had only been Robin for a few months, but she had too, like the other Robins, suffered from her bruises and bumps.

But that feeling! It took all of the pain away, made her forget the world around her.

She gracefully landed on a rooftop. The Girl Wonder overlooked the city, the city that was full of crime and corruption. But if she blocked out the sound of sirens for long enough, ignored all the activity below, Gotham almost seemed... beautiful.

The sound of her comm link crackling to life snapped her out of her reverie.

"Robin, there is a robbery at the National Bank of Gotham. Only observe and report. Do not go in without me. I'll be there as soon as I can. Understood?"

"Understood. I'll be there in a few moments." She let out a whoop of excitement and leaped off the building, relying on her grappling hook to stop her fall.

But as the grappling hook attached itself, she started to light up.

She yelled, and she tried to contact Batman.

"Robin, what is-" was the last thing she heard before she disappeared.

Damian was exasperated. Grayson was trying to convince him to join him on a family outing. To the zoo. But, of course, he was not going to be persuaded to accompany them. After all, who would want to even be in the presence of his ragtag 'family'?

Not that he was listening to him anyway.

"-and it will be fun! We can see the bears, and the giraffes, and maybe even-"

Damian only heard that snippet of the conversation before ignoring that imbecile. He decided that his knives and katanas were more interesting and started to polish them, just to make sure they were clean before mangling Grayson. He smiled wickedly.

Oh, yes, that was going to be a lot of fun.

"-and are you even listening to me? Earth to Damian, hello?"

Damian looked up to see that dimwit in his face.

He sighed. "What makes you think that I actually want to come with you? That would be a complete waste of time."

Dick was finally down to his last resort.

"Please, Dami? If you do this, I'll get that kitten you wanted! Promise!"

Damian perked up at that. He was about to reply when he experienced the same sensation that the others did, and went to somewhere unknown to him.

GASP! Where will they all go?!
