Thought of this a while back but never really thought to publish it, but I figured with the show Gotham coming back on tonight, I might as well see what people think of it. So let me know what you think. I'm basing the personality and the characters on the way that they are portrayed in Gotham the TV series.
Disclaimer: I do not own DC, Young Justice or any of their characters mentioned below.
The team was currently up against a new villain a very large mutant who called himself Time Warp, they weren't exactly sure what his abilities were so they were trying to use as much caution as possible. Kid Flash was currently attempting to create a speed tornado around him while Super Boy stood at the villain's feet and tried to break his balance by punching him. Miss .Martian was using her camouflage and flying around his face to obstruct his vision.
"BG, think we can combine a baterang to our grappling hooks and try to wrap them around him, that way we can bind his arms and legs together?" Robin suggested using the mind link
Batgirl nodded "Already got you" she grinned flashing him her grappling hook that had a baterang tied to the end of it.
"Perfect, think you can carry BG?" he mentally spoke to her
"Sure just let me know when so I'm ready" she communicated back
Robin looked over at Batgirl "Okay BG, here's the plan, while we do Maneuver 7 I'll shoot the hook off at the same time, you'll hold onto the line, then when Miss. Martian catches you shell fly you around, wrapping the line around him" he explained
"Got it" Batgirl nodded her head and ran toward Robin he took her grappling hook from her hands
Alright Miss. Martian on 3, 1…..2…..ahhh" Robin was cut off when him and Batgirl were swatted by time warp sending them flying through the air, after hitting the ground the last thing they saw was a flash like a lightning strike.
Robin groaned as he rolled over "What happened?" he moaned feeling cold concreate beneath him. He lifted up his head slightly to see Batgirl lying beside him she groaned and opened her eyes "You okay?" he asked as he pushed himself up.
"She nodded "Yeah but where are we?" she asked sitting up and looking around, Robin stuck a hand out helping her to her feet
"It kind of looks like Gotham, but at the same time it doesn't" Robin said observing the area around them
She tilted her head "Yeah but weren't we fighting that Time Warp guy?" she asked
Robin nodded "Yeah….you don't think that maybe….." he said as an old looking car passed by them blasting a cheesy 80s pop tune.
"Do you think that mutant's power was sending people back in time?" Batgirl asked
Robin nodded "It wouldn't be the weirdest thing that happened to us would it?" he asked
Batgirl nodded "Good point, where…or should I say when do you think we are?" she asked curiously.
Robin shrugged "I don't know, if I had to guess 1980s something Gotham"
Batgirl looked around and observed some more, she saw one of her favorite clothing stores that was was a boutique in her time period, but now it was a different store, the display window showed a completely different store called 'Teen Scene'. "So have any plans?" She asked turning to look at Robin only to find him gone. She looked around and saw him a few feet ahead looking at a poster on one of the building walls, she went to him to see what had been so interesting that it made him loose his attention over the fact that he was sent back in time. Her jaw dropped when she saw what he had been looking at, in front of them was a large blue Poster that read 'Haley's Circus come and see the world famous Flying Graysons in Gotham for 3 nights only!' "Dick….." she gasped
He turned to her "My parents aren't together yet" he said pointing to the photo she gave him a small smile. A man passed by them and gave them a look as if they were from Mars. "We should probably change, we don't want to attract too much attention, we can use the emergency money Batman has us carry" Robin said leading her toward the 'Teen Scene' store, 30 minutes later they immerged wearing what looked like to them retro outfits and carrying their suits in plastic bags
Dick and Barbara looked each other up and down then burst into laughter at what they were wearing. Dick had on a pair of acid wash jeans, with a bright neon green baggy shirt with black triangles on it, and a pair of white and red high top Nikes, Barbara was wearing, a neon blue off the shoulder shirt with red circles scattered around, with a black skirt that reached the middle of her thigh, she also had on red leggings and black ballet flats.
"So what do you suggest we do next?" she asked
Dick shrugged "Let's go to the manor" he stated walking forward
Barbara held a finger up "Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked trying to keep up with him
He looked at her "I don't know what else to do, besides it's about to get dark out and we know nothing about 1980s Gotham, remember there is no Batman right now, unless you have a better idea" he suggested
Barbara thought for a moment but couldn't think of anything better "Alright but we have to come up with a story, we can't just walk up there and be like 'Hey Bruce were home" she told him
Dick nodded "Yeah your right, we'll come up with something on the way there" he said as they walked in the direction of Wayne manor, a second later they both got the same thought and smiled at each other
"WE GET TO SEE BRUCE AS A KID!" they said at the same time they picked up their pace, excited to see what their mentor was like as a child.
