Robin's P.O.V
Wally and I were in the kitchen in Mount Justice. When all of a sudden my wrist communicator went off.
"Wally I'll be right back." I told Wally. Wally nodded to busy with his sandwich to say anything. I walked into the hall. Good thing it's just Wally and I here.
"Hey Ethan what up?" I asked as I answered the call.
"Were is the nearest zeta tube?" Ethan asked me frantically
"Ah.. There's one right behind the building you're at." I told him.
"Thank God! I'll be there in a second. I need your help!" Ethan told me.
Recognized. Shadow. B078. The zeta beam announced.
I ran to the zeta beam.
"Dude, you look like crap! What happened? Wait a 'J' on your arm, the smell of Joker Venom. An explosive that hasn't gone off that has a 'S' of it. You were attacked by Joker and Slade?" I asked him as I took the weapon out of his arm.
"You forgot Sports Master!" Ethan yelled.
"Come on." I told him as I helped him to the kitchen.
"Hey Rob, who's Shadow?" Wally asked me while he was looking in the refrigerator.
"Shadow, Wally. Wally, Shadow." I said as Wally turned around.
"Uh hi?" Wally said.
"To answer your question I am not a sidekick. I have know Di.. Robin before he was even Robin." Ethan told him.
"How did you..." Wally started.
"Shadow here can read minds, and can do much more." I told him.
"Like what?" Wally asked.
"I'm a vampire." Ethan told him.
"Ya right." Wally said. Ethan looked at me then flashed his fangs at Wally who practically jumped out of his skin.
"Not cool!" Wally yelled.
"I'm also a spell master, werewolf, and a seer." Ethan told him.
"What's a seer?" Wally asked.
"I can see into the future and sometimes the past though touch. I'm basically a psychic." Ethan told him.
"Anyway why are my worst villains after you?" I asked him.
"My villains are working with your villains." Ethan told me. "They think if they switch enemies they can kill us."
"Wait so that means I have a psycho cult vampire leader after me!" I asked him.
"Ya, but I have a clown, a crazy hunter guy, and a you as a villain!" Ethan told me.
"Hey I am nothing like Slade!" I told him. Then we started to fight. With him saying 'You were his apprentice for 3 months!' and me saying 'I'm still not him!' Finally KF got tired of us fighting. And stopped us.
"Are they still out there?" Ethan asked.
"Let's check." I said, as we all walked to the training room. I set up the computer and put up the surveillance camera from where Ethan was only a few minutes ago.
"Ya they're still out there." I sighed. Slade, Sports Master, Joker and Jesse were all standing in the alley.
"I have a plan!" Ethan said.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked him.
"Operation 'Broken Wing'!" Ethan said.
"Shadow are you crazy! That will never work!" I told him.
"Robin it works every time we use it!" Ethan told me.
"Every time we use it there is only one villain!" I yelled at him.
"Wait what's operation 'Broken Wing'?" Wally asked.
Break Line! Ethan's P.O.V
"I can't believe I'm going along with this! You're insane!" Robin told me.
"I'm also dead, what's your point?" I asked as I got on one of the motorcycles and I put my helmet on.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Just don't kill yourself or get captured!" Robin told me. I gave him a thumbs up then rode off. The zeta beam took me to the 4 villains.
"Catch me if you can!" I yelled as I rode past them. I looked at Jesse who looked like he would kill the other villains if I got away again. I rode for another few minutes, before I ran into the villains. I slid sideways on the bike, and crashed it a few feet in front of Jesse. I landed on my stomach and put my body in a trance so I would seem to be unconscious. I heard Jesse and the Robins villains walk towards me. Jesse used his foot to roll me on my back.
"Is he dead?" Slade asked. Jesse bent down and searched for a pulse.
"Shadow is unconscious. Thank you full moon!" Jesse said. 5...4...3...2...1... Go! I said to Robin and Kid Flash mentally. When I reached 1 Robin though some smoke bombs.
"It's a trap!" Joker yelled. KF you get SportsMaster I'll get Slade and Robin you get Joker! I told them mentally. I ran up to Slade and started to fight him. Every time I though a punch or kick Slade caught it and vise versa. Guess I have to fight dirty! Slade caught my foot before it could hit its target.
"You fight dirty Shadow. Who trained you?" Slade asked as he tried to twist my leg. I hissed at him then said, "By Jesse!"
"So you are one of us!" Slade said as he aimed a punch to my stomach which I caught.
"Been there done that not going back!" I said. Slade was stunned by my words so I punched him in the stomach a few times. How you doing with SportsMaster? I asked KF. I need some help! KF said. Alright let's get them to nock each other out then! I told him. Sweet! I started to run towards Kid Flash and right before we ran into each other we ran to the side causing the villains to run into each other.
"High Five! That was awesome!" Kid Flash said as we high five.
"Thats it I'm leaving this nut feat!" I heard Joker say.
"Let's find Robin." I said. Kid Flash nodded, then we ran. I saw Jesse holding Robin. Jesse had a dagger against his neck.
"Let him go Jesse!" I yelled. Jesse pressed the dagger harder against Robins throat, drawing blood. Jesse then took the dagger and licked it.
"I forgot how good his blood is! I think I'll take a sample and give him something in return!" Jesse said, then his bit Robin. Robin yelled out in pain. Jesse stopped, dropped Robin then ran off with the other villains. Robin was trashing around with vampire
speed. I ran up to him then sucked the vampire venom out of him.
"What are you doing?" Kid Flash asked me frantically as he tried to get me off of Robin. I come off then said, "I was saving him you idiot!"
"By sucking his blood!" Kid Flash said.
"I was sucking the venom out of him!" I yelled. Kid Flash made an 'O' with his mouth. "Now help me get him to Mount Justice." Kid Flash nodded then picked the unconscious Robin.
Break Line! Ethan's P.O.V
"I should call Batman. I'll be right back, keep an eye on him!" I told Wally. Robin was on a medical bed. I walked into the training room. I took my phone out then called Wayne manner.
"Hello master Ethan. What can I for you?" Alfred asked.
"Hey Alfred. Is Bruce there?" I asked him.
"No, he's at work." Alfred told me. He paused. "Is master Dick alright?"
"He's fine. Just almost got changed again. I should call Bruce. Bye." I said.
"Bye master Ethan." Alfred said. I dialed Bruce's cell phone number.
"Hello Ethan. What is it? I'm busy." Bruce asked.
"When I tell you this don't get all DaddyBat on me. Dick was almost changed again." I told him.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes tops! I want you there when I come. Did anyone else see this?" Bruce asked.
"Joker, Slade, SportsMaster, and Kid Flash. Robins villains are after me and Jesse is after him." I told Bruce.
"I will be there in a few minutes!" Bruce said then hung up. I walked back to the medical bay.
"You know Batman's and Robin's identities?" Kid Flash asked.
"Ya, I told you I've known Robin before he was even Robin." I told him.
"How many times has this happened?" Kid Flash asked while never taking his eyes off of Robins life less form.
"I lost count after 10." I told him as I leaned against the door frame. Wally was about to say something when the zeta been announced Batman. Recognize Batman B02
Batman walked in a few seconds later. "Leave." Batman said in his dark voice. Wally and I left and went into the lunge.
Recognize Miss Martian B98 Recognize Superboy B76 Recognize Artemis B99 Recognize Aqualad B56 Recognize Zatana B46
"That's just great! The whole teams here!" Wally said. And with my luck they ALL walked into the lunge.
"Who are you?" Artemis asked. I looked at Young Justice they all were in there civvies.
"I'm Shadow one of Robins friends. And you are Miss Martian aka M'gann M'orzz, Superboy aka Conner Kent, Artemis aka Artemis Crock, Aqualad aka Kaldur 'Ahm and Zatana aka Zatanna Zatara." I told them.
"How do you know our identities?" Aqualad asked.
"Like I said before I'm Robins friend. I know what he knows." I told them. They looked like they were about to say something but Batman stepped in.
"Robin is awake." Batman said.
