Heroes of Gotham

Prologue

Hey guys! Yeah, I'm starting something else... this is going to be more off and on, I'm not going to work on it all the time. Damian is probably going to be really OOC in this, sorry. I only know him from FanFiction, and I'm playing with that for the sake of the story. In this story, the ages have pretty much been reversed. The ages and hero IDs are:

Damian: 19, Nightwing

Tim: 17, Cardinal

Jason: 15, Red Hood

Dick: 12, Robin

So, on with the story!

I OWN NOTHING!

A Promise

"Get out of here Robin! Go!" Nightwing screamed to his younger brother.

"I won't leave you!"

"I'm right behind you! Come on!"

The older vigilante took one last, desperate look at his father and brothers.

"Run," Batman called. "We'll get free on our own."

Nightwing ran after their little bird. Joker, having captured the rest of the Batclan, followed. Damian already knew what he would have to do.

The two heroes reached an air vent.

"Robin, get out of here. Run."

Dick looked horrified, even with the mask it was obvious.

"No! I won't leave you! Dami, I-I can't!"

Damian made sure, carefully, that nobody was around, and there were no cameras, before kneeling in front of his little brother.

"Dick, please. One of us has to escape. Go."

The youngest member of the Batclan nodded shakily, and hugged his older brother.

"I-I'll use that projector thing we were working on. I'll pretend to be seventeen. Joker might not think it's me for a while."

Damian nodded, holding his youngest brother close. Then the Boy Wonder made the vow that would haunt his steps until he fulfilled it.

"I will come back and find you. I promise."

Then he was gone.

Nightwing turned, drawing his sword. Joker raced around the corner, lifting the specially designed taser he had used on the others. As Robin slid out of the air vent, he heard his brother scream, then silence.

Dick let out his own cry, because he hadn't felt so alone, not since his parents fell.

"Dami!"

Robin sat bolt upright in his bed and looked around.

Oh. Right.

It had been six months since his family had been captured, and he had moved to Jump City as the fearless, seventeen year old leader of the Teen Titans. None of them knew his secret, except possibly Raven. He was only twelve years old, and now it was time to fulfil the promise he had made to his brother.

He would find them.

So, what'd you think? Not a very long chapter, I know, but hopefully they'll get longer. So, until next time, and
