"Another day here at Gotham Academy," Robin thought, "with nothing to do."
"Hey! Dick!" Artemis shouted, "What's up?"
"Nah, just bored. We haven't had anything to do in 2 weeks. I just wish something would come up." Just then, a loud explosion desecrated the nearby parking lot.
"Like that?" Artemis asked.
"Let's go!" Robin said, not wanting to waste a single moment. But by the time they finished changing and got out, they saw that Joker was on the loose, on top of a car with some type of customized RPG-7. But someone was already dealing with the situation. He was about 5'7, a bit on the skinny side, but muscular and strong, like Robin. He was wearing a white beater, and a pair of jeans with some sneakers. He had skin that was a bit darker than Artemis' and hair as black as a crow's feather. He looked like a guy who had seenhis own fair shsre of violence in the past. But there was something different about this boy. He wasn't going into this fight looking like he had any regrets ir doubts about his probable death. He seemed to embrace the gamble. He enjoyed the fight, the rage, the hate. It gave him not only drive, but pleasure. But Robin and Artemis pitied the boy, as his life seemed to reach its climax and resolution in the same spot, ending with his demise.
Cadoc was already dealing with the Joker by the time Robin and some Green Arrow wanna-be showed up. "'Course, they show up 10 minutes after the fight's started," he said, clearly annoyed. Looking back to the Joker, he began to focus his thoughts into one cohesive idea: eliminate the threat.
"Hah hah hah hah," the maniacal trickster laughed. "Who are you son? Don't recognize you." Joker said, with a smile etched across his face.
"It doesn't matter. All that does is that you get a good, long look at this face 'cause it's the last one you're ever gonna see!"
"Oh, really? Well in case you haven't noticed, I am the Joker. Not even Robin over there can kill me, let alone you."
Cadoc smiled dangerously and said, "I'm not Robin." He began sprinting towards the Joker.
"Kids these days," Joker sighed. "Oh well. Hah hah!" He took one look at Cadoc, aimed and squeezed the trigger. The RPG began speeding towards the youth, but at the last minute, he jumped up letting the rocket hit the ground about five meters behind him. He used the explosion to propel himself into the air like he was flying. He sailed towards Joker and delivered a crushing superman punch to the Joker's jaw. The loud crack was audible to Artemis, Robin, and the amassed spectators. Joker fell off the car unconscious. But Cadoc wasn't done, he picked up Joker's body, slung it over his shoulder and began to walk to the nearest bridge.
Robin yelled, "STOP!" Cadoc kept walking. Artemis drew an arrow and fired. It was about to zip past Cardona's ear, but he just raised Joker. The arrow embedded itself deep inside Joker's back.
Cadoc turned around smirking and said, "Thanks gorgeous, you just made my job that much easier." He blew her a kiss and began to walk away, his hands in his pockets.
"Call the rest of the Team and the League. We need a containment unit and a medical unit for the Joker. I'll go and bring the hotshot in." Artemis nodded and ran towards the prone body of the Joker talking to her earpiece. Robin ran to Cadoc and put his hand on his shoulder. Cadoc simply shrugged it off.
"Hey, I'm gonna need you to come with me to answer some questions. Don't make this any more difficult than it has to be." Robin said. He grabbed Cadoc's shoulder again, with much more force this time.
Cadoc immediately reached across and put Robin's wrist in a lock. Robin countered with a flip, followed by a kick when he reached the ground. Cadoc simply caught it and repeatedly struck the knee. Robin fell to the ground writhing in pain.
Cadoc squatted down to look at Robin and said, "Boy Wonder, don't follow me again, or a broken knee will be the least of your worries." Just then he turned around and was shot in the neck with a tranquilizer dart. He fell to the ground unconscious.
