We Chosen Few.
Hi, I'm Angel and this is my first Teen Titan fic, due to the fact I saw my first episode last week when my dad finally got sky (as of yet England hasn't played it on terrestrial yet and I think it's an absolute travesty!). I do not own any of the DC characters mentioned although there will be some characters I do own so if ya steal em without asking I will be peeved! Enjoy!
Chapter one:
Robin clutched his side as he peered around a corner for his opponent, he'd left the titans out of this as he was facing a creep who'd been hounding Gotham a lot back in his wonder boy days with Batman and the Joker was not someone he wanted the others to meet especially as he seemed to know who he was under his mask.
"There's no use hiding Dicky baby," Joker laughed, "I'm going to slice you to ribbons and leave the pieces for dear old bats to find." Joker giggled as he walked around with a huge machete in his hand and a gun in the other, Robin climbed up the fire escape and onto the roof of the building to his right hoping to get the upper hand and take the lunatic from the air.
"Ahh!" Robin cried out as a bullet went through his side and embedded itself into the wall in front of him.
"Tut tut, bird boy," Joker laughed as he placed the gun in his trousers and kept the machete in his left hand, "your nothing without old Batsy looking out for you. But then you're just a kid after all, a poor little orphan boy with. . ."
"Shut up clown!" Robin yelled as he limped to the other side of the roof. Robin shook the spots away from his eyes and ignored the dizziness. "I do not need Batman." He muttered under his breath.
"Peek a boo I see you!" The Joker's sing song voice came from behind him; Robin looked up to see the Joker on the roof and pointing the gun at him. He reached into his belt and pulled out a disk and went to hurl it.
"Ahh!" Robin dropped the disk as another bullet tore through his flesh and the explosion threw him to the side. Robin tried to get up but everything was spinning and he felt blood trickle down his face where his head had hit the ground.
"Bye, bye bird boy!" Joker advanced on Robin and took immense pleasure in the teen's fearful expression.
"No!" The joker was hurled aside and landed heavily on his side dropping the gun, "You will not harm my friend!"
"Take a look deary," Joker pointed at the bloody mess that was Robin and Starfire gasped, "In case you hadn't noticed I already have and as I don't see the rest of your super charged kindergarten friends around then you're the only one who can save him," Joker placed both hands on either cheek on mock shock, "oh my what shall you do, stop the evil genius or save the bird boy," Starfire hesitate unsure of what to do, "tick tock, time's running out girly!" And he was right when she looked at him more closely Robin was deathly pale and his breathing was ragged plus the pool of blood was getting bigger if she didn't get him back to Titan tower soon her Robin might die, "What's it going to be sweetheart?" Starfire growled and threw a star bolt at the joker then flew over to Robin and gently picked him up then flew him back to the tower. Once she had him placed safely on a bed in the med lab she ran and pressed the alarm button not wanting to leave Robin's side.
"What's . . ." Cyborg stopped mid sentence and stared in shock at the sight of Robin, "What happened?" He said shaking himself out of it.
"Please I was flying back to the tower when I heard shots, I found a man who was smiling all the time about to kill him, save him!" The last part was pleading and tears formed in the Tamaran's eyes.
"Oh, man." Beast Boy said as he arrived with Raven who went straight to Robin's side and began to cast a healing spell whilst Cyborg hooked Robin up to the life support machines.
"Please do no let him die." Starfire said breaking down as Beast Boy tried to console her.
"Beast Boy, take her to the living room!" Raven ordered.
"I wish to stay!" Star protested through her tears.
"Star you'll only get in the way," Cyborg said gently, "when we've got him stable we'll call you and you can sit with him till he wakes up okay?" Starfire nodded and allowed Beast boy to lead her out of the med lab.
"What happened star?" Beast Boy asked once he'd sat her down and given her some hot chocolate.
"I do not know, I was flying and heard firing of the guns so I went to see if I might be of assistance to anyone," she sighed and stared at the brown liquid in her mug, "when I found the source there was a man who was of the strangeness, he was holding a gun and a large knife, he was about to kill Robin." Tears started to fall down her cheeks again.
"What'd this guy look like?" Beast Boy asked out of interest.
"Like that!" Starfire's eyes were wide and she was pointing at the television screen that had been left on.
". . . Escaped from Arkham three days ago. This is his third break out and leaves us all wondering if the security at the asylum is as high as they claim. The Joker is considered highly dangerous and is not to be approached at any point. Authorities tell us that the Justice league has been informed and Batman has been sighted in Gotham since the break out . . ." Beast Boy switched it off.
"I think we gotta get a hold of Batman." Beast Boy said to no one in particular.
"This man of bats is Robin's old partner yes?" Star asked once more looking at her chocolate.
"Oh yeah, he and Robin go way back," Beast Boy said, "he's also put that clown guy away more than once so I'll bet you anything he'll wanna know Joker's in Jump City."
"Guys," Cyborg was in the doorway, "he's stable for now, Star you can sit with him for a while if you like." Star immediately put her mug down and flew off the med lab where she sat on a chair beside his bed and began the wait for him to wake up.
"Hey Cy, Star says it was the Joker."
"What!" Cyborg looked at his green friend.
"Yeah, seems he's out of Arkham again and looks like he wanted Robin," Beast Boy rubbed the back if his neck, "Batman's in Gotham, I think we should contact him."
"So do I," Cyborg walked over to Beast Boy, "you get hold of the Justice league and see if they can't give us a way of contacting him, I'll go look in Robin's room and see if I can find a direct way, Batman's like a father ta him, he's bond ta have a way of getting hold o him when he needs to."
Robin groaned and opened his eyes. He looked around and found himself in the med lab of the t-tower. He tried to sit up but after a couple of attempts he thought better of it, so instead he looked around. To his left was Raven fast asleep in the bed next door, she didn't seem injured but that didn't stop him from worrying, he looked to his right and smiled, Starfire was leaning on his bed also fast asleep one of her hands was holding his.
"Welcome back," a familiar voice said from the door way, "you had us worried for a while."
"What are you doing here Batman?" Robin said in a croaky voice that sounded very weak even to him.
"Your friends called me and told me what they knew," Batman came closer to his adopted son, "you shouldn't have tried to face him alone Robin."
"You do." Robin said looking away.
"I'm older," Batman retorted, "anyway it seems you have some very loyal friends now."
"You could say that." Robin saw Batman smiling and wondered what was so funny then he remembered that he and Star were holding hands and he pulled it away slightly and blushed.
"She's not left your side the whole time," Robin looked at Star, "I'm told she's the one that found you and brought you back here. That's quite a girl you've got yourself."
"Thanks." Robin said quietly replacing his hand in hers and knowing full well his blush had deepened.
"I will find him Robin," Batman said as he turned to leave, "he will pay for what he's done."
"He knows who I am." Robin told him.
"Then I'll have to make sure he forgets won't I."
"Say hi to Alfred won't you?" Robin asked before the dark knight had left completely.
"I will." And with that he was gone.
"Sure is more talkative with you than anyone else." Raven said from her bed with her eyes still closed. She got up on her hands and knees and stretched.
"I didn't mean to wake you, are you okay?"
"Sure, I was just zoned out after trying to heal you that I fell asleep, I guess Cyborg put me in bed, cause I don't remember getting in." Raven then noticed Robin was holding Star's hand, "Want I should wake her?"
"No let her sleep, she . . ."
"Robin!" Starfire had woken up and now had Robin in a hug, but Robin let out a yelp of pain and she let go instantly looking horror struck, "I am sorry I did not mean to hurt you more!"
"It's okay Star I'll be fine," Robin shifted his weight a bit to try and get comfortable again, he looked up when he heard a whimper. Starfire was about to cry and his heart melted, "don't cry star I'm okay honest!" He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and she let out a sob, then she lay down on his chest and cried her eyes out whilst Robin held her and stroked her hair. Raven got up and left to tell the others that their leader was awake and to leave the love birds to it.
