Katwalk
A/N: What if Date of Destiny happened in YJ universe? It's perfect, there's a good looking Robin and there's a Gotham City to replace Jump City, it's one of these flash ideas that come to me randomly and seems like it could work: D
Also just to add in italics are thoughts and italics+bold is mental conversation.
Chapter 1
Killer Moth's Home
|December 28 06:32 EDT
Robin furiously pressed another five buttons:
My god, he thought, what is it with these paranoid people? Placing ten firewall just for basic security, cams and random stuff totally not worth my time. As if they think people are gonna hack their systems to spy on them...heh. I am spying them...
Rob!
Robin paused his typing and frowned a little: couldn't M'gann ever adjust the volume of the voices? Robin did have to say KF was pretty badly timed for random conversations...namely: now.
What, KF?
Dude, ditch your James Bond thoughts, you're taking ages! We're already in drop point B!
Eyebrows twitching in irritation, he turned back to his minicomputer and began hacking furiously whilst replying KF.
Security system is tight; I didn't pack all of hacking tools.
Yes, well, Rob, and aren't you supposed to be famed to hack eleven firewalls in a matter of minutes with whatever tool in your hand?
Whoever went and told you that sort of crap?...no matter how complimenting it seems...
Kid Flash suddenly went quiet, then:
Never mind, just speed up!
You try hacking ten high tech firewalls in two minutes, then tell me to speed up, Mr. I Can Do Everything Fast Except For Hacking!
JUST SPEED UP!
Robin felt like his hands had the need to mutate to ninja knives so he could repetitively K.O KF until his attitude mellowed down a bit more.
Then shut up, you impatient git, I work faster without a voice whining about speeding up because he's missing HacKWirE Season 2 premiere.
There was sudden silence. To most people, KF was just being a kind person and was apparently trying to help Robin's tight situation but Robin suspected that it was actually annoyance which was the drive to shut up. But he shrugged the thoughts off and continued hacking the rest of the firewalls. It took five hacking systems to get to the first one, two for the second, ten for the third and one for the fourth and so on. It wasn't until another five minutes later that he managed to break through.
Finally! He thought, then: Whatever the hell is wrong with people recently, I missed the good old days where people didn't even know how to use Gmail...
But he pushed aside the self-pity and replied to Kaldur:
Guys, got in to Killer Moth's security!
Good, check for abnormalities then join us at drop point B.
Three hours before...
Mt. Justice

"Good!" called Black Canary "Now, Connor, remember your roundhouse kicks can't be too high or you won't get the person's face."
She demonstrated a quick high kick at him.
"You see how my knee bends inwards so I can lift and judge where the face is before kicking up?"
Superboy grunted in response and tried again. His knee lifted up bend inwards and he flicked his foot out straight towards Black Canary's face. She had to duck down to evade the slick attack.
"Better!" said Black Canary obviously pleased as she came up from the duck. She stopped fighting and motioned to Superboy to stop too, she was smiling:
"It's the end of the lesson, Connor; I have to leave to The Watchtower for patrol duty. Just work on your roundhouses and I promise next time we'll move on to karate chops, should be easy enough for you."
Superboy smiled too, bowed his head slightly and said politely:
"Thank you, Black Canary."
Black Canary smiled again:
"Bye, Connor!"
And she left for the Zeta Beam Tubes. After she left, Miss Martian rushed up to him, her green face beaming,
"You did great!" she said, planting a kiss on his lips, when she pulled away she was still beaming,
"I made some cookies for you!" she said and pulled Connor to the entertainment/kitchen room.
As lovebirds walked in to the room, M'gann reviewed what Connor did and just couldn't help feeling proud that her...her...boyfriend...could be so good at fighting, it was such a heroic sort of thing she saw in the human movies, it was just plain romantic.
M'gann sighed lost in her thoughts of evil dragons and Knight Connor swooping her up in his arms to battle the dragon...
Whilst on the other side of the room, at the multi devices area, Wally and Robin were playing Warfare 4 (which Robin had brought over for Wally two hours ago, when Robin's hand was carrying the precious games, Artemis's eyes narrowed; she remembered that when she saw it come out today in the game shop: it was very very expensive.)
"KF! Quit hitting me on the face, he's your target, not me!"
"Sorry! New controls! I'm not used to it!"
"Same here, but I'm totally not complaining!"
"Well you're a computerist and I'm not!
"Dude, computerist is not a word. What's with your English, man?"
"WHATEVER!"
Robin smirked and turned back to his controls in alarm as KF slashed a fatal wound at Robin.
Just next to the two gamers, were Kaldur was submerged in a fantasy book, apparently in Atlantis, there wasn't such thing as fairy tales, but instead, stories about the Ventures of the Brave Atlantic King. When Wally had got his hands on that information, he had danced around the mountain singing,
"THE VENTURES OF THE BRAVE EARTH RUNNING K-F!
"THE VENTURES OF THE BRAVE EARTH RUNNING K-F!
"THE VENTURES OF THE BRAVE EARTH RUNNING K-F!
"THE VENTURES OF THE BRAVE EARTH RUNNING K-F!"
Robin cackled alongside with the lame tune and watched amusedly at KF mimicked the "braveness", lost his balance and slammed in to a wall. Dazed, he picked himself back up and continued dancing, this time slightly more drunken.
It wasn't until Artemis had ambushed him in the controls room and hit the back of his head her own book (Eclipse) that then he shut up (Kaldur bent over KF in slight fear couldn't tell whether it was horror of the pain that kept him down or that he was actually knocked out.). After investigating the boy, he tilted his head back to look with respect (if not slightly scared) at Artemis. She had then kindly returned home and retrieved her own copy of the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales and had lent it to Kaldur. Wally had later on complained, even a few days after this event that his head hurt from being hit with Artemis's HBB (Heavy Brick/Big Book, both definition fit the weapon of Artemis's use) though the complaints were less now.
Right now, he was avoiding Artemis because after he had been bashed with her book, she had returned with an even heavier and bigger book (Breaking Dawn) and just before she started reading she had given Wally the evil eye, then started the book quietly on the green plush sofa. Even now Wally was shuddering from the look Artemis had given her; Robin suspected that was the reason why he wasn't playing well: he was too busy flitching backwards to check Artemis hadn't tried to slam the book on his cranium.
Next to the plush green sofa sat a double seat sofa where M'gann was feeding cookies to Superboy, she always baked special ones with almonds, since Connor had seemed to especially love that taste. They were talking quietly under their breaths about Superman and his un-fair attitude towards Connor.
Then suddenly:
"ARGHHH!"
Everyone immediately turned to locate the scream; it was Wally who was desperately trying to get his avatar in Warfare 4 to stop hitting itself. Robin was cackling and all:
"Classic, dude, just classic."
Wally turned to glare at Robin for a few seconds before returning to jab at the controls, another one minute passed and he turned to Robin,
"DUDE! HELP ME!"
Robin rolled his eyes and grabbed Wally's controls and quickly regained control of the self-harming avatar.
It was two more rounds of Level 1 of Warfare 4, five more cookies, three more chapters and one threat with Artemis's book later, that the speakers started blurting out Batman's voice:
"Team, report to briefing room."
Once again it was Robin who got the door first, this time he waited for all of them to get to the door, then took off. It didn't take so long for them to arrive; though when they had arrived Wally was rubbing his arm tenderly (Artemis had socked his arm for complaining again about her book.)
Batman frowned when he saw Artemis grinning proudly (though the grin was soon diminished by the Bat Glare) and Wally was clutching his arm and glaring at Artemis. But he dismissed it and launched in to the subject as soon as they all arrived.
He first picked a photo out of the Justice League files; it was a man who had been mutated to look like a moth.
"Killer Moth is a criminal who uses hive mind bugs to do as he wishes; he had made attacks on multiple cities, but had mainly focused on Gotham as his crime city. Recently, the trackers on Killer Moth had become less and less active and had eventually shut down in operation due to loss of use altogether."
Robin decided to then butt in,
"So are you complaining? I mean, he isn't very destructive, but he"s still another criminal. Maybe he just decided to stop the criminal uses altogether because we keep on kicking his ass."
Batman frowned at him,
"Language, Robin."
Before briefly returning to speaking,
"We aren't complaining. But it is strange that Killer Moth had a sudden change of heart."
Batman then pulled up a picture of girl. She had silky blonde hair and baby blue eyes. Everything on her was pink, pink blouse with pink jeans, pink diamond necklace with pink sapphire earrings, pink Gucci handbag to pink Dolce & Gabbana's shoes. She was literally pink head to toe. She was also about 13 and around the height of Robin, she was shorter though.
"Charming." muttered Connor sarcastically.
"This," continued Batman, "Is Kitten, daughter of Killer Moth."
"Daughter?" gasped Artemis "Daughter?" she repeated "Killer Moth is a mutant, how could he have a daughter?"
Batman at that single moment, almost looked bemused "We've investigated to a certain extent, the most we've found is that she's not...completely normal. You have no need to know how. The only fact worth remembering is that Killer Moth has harbored a daughter."
Black Canary, at that point, had decided to add in some information,
"There has been a collective rumor about Kitten reunited with her father in Gotham City." She pulled up a picture of Kitten sitting with hooded large man and a dark haired boy in Café de Merry
Robin sub-consciously recited to himself: Gotham City, Arkham Street, Block 19, first floor facing the north.
"But it was only recently that it has been confirmed." finished off Black Canary.
Then Batman took over the talk again,
"We did at first decided to send you on a recon mission to observe Killer Moth's territory, leave then report. But another piece of information had arrived to us; Kitten was going to a prom night."
"Fat lot of good knowing that will do us." said Wally and Robin at the same time and then they grinned at one another, great minds think alike.
Batman frowned slightly but soon continued,
"And we have also found out that her "boyfriend", Fang, had left her two days ago."
"Kitten's been abandoned, like that cat I found of your house Artemis, hehe!" mumbled Wally under his breath, it was quiet enough so Artemis, who was standing next to him, could hear it, she elbowed under his ribs.
"Ow!" he hissed, now glaring full at Artemis
"So now instead of recon, you will be going to prom night," Batman flashed a look at Robin who seemed like he was going to interrupt him again "Robin will observe the house very quickly for any abnormalities, then he will join you at the prom ball, the prom ball will now forth be referred as drop point B. One of you will interrogate Kitten while dancing with her, once you have gotten the information about Killer Moth strangeness and the mutant harboring the girl you will return to the mountain to report. Any questions?"
Robin let out a quick sign, everyone knew that it meant: FINALLY! Then he quickly launched in to his question,
"Who will be the one "interrogating" Kitten?"
Batman smirked slightly, but Black Canary decided to reply,
"Batman missed something out, when Fang left Kitten she was determined to make Fang jealous. She had asked especially for someone that she knew would that would annoy Fang."
Robin rolled his eyes,
"Who is it?"
"You."
A/N: Hope you liked it! I'll try and update when I can. And review if you wish, but it would be really nice if you could review and tell what I have been getting wrong.
