Robin
"End of the line Two-Face!"
My adopted father's deep voice rang out from beneath his cowl. The criminal he was addressing spun around in surprise.
"Not this time Batman!" Replies Dent. He whipped out a machine gun and started spraying. The bank we were in was soon riddled with bullet holes.
"When is he going to learn that a measly machine gun can't stop us?" I asked, almost laughing to my mentor.
"Don't get overconfident Robin." Said Batman. "You'll end up in trouble if you do." He leaps off the ridge we were hiding on and descends down onto the mob boss. He lands hard and both men go down to the floor, wrestling for control of the gun.
I take careful aim with my grappling hook and shoot it down into the fight. My hook smashes into the machine gun and I retract it, hauling the weapon up to me and out of the fight.
Batman manages to get a grip of Two-Face's collar and the former good guy is thrown across the room. I throw a freeze disk at the man and he is frozen to the ground.
Batman walks over to the downed villain and rummages through his pockets. He brings out a revolver, two knives, five thousand dollars in cash, and a disk file. My mentor leaves behind the money, the gun, and the knives for the police to get, but he takes the disk.
He walks silently out of the bank and I follow, excited for our victory. "We totally nailed him Batman! Taken down before he even knew what hit him!"
We walk over to where the Batmobile is hidden and I jump in.
"It's never that simple, Two-Face got captured too easily. Something else is going on." Batman broods as he hops in the driver's seat and we take off for the Batcave.
"Can't you ever just be happy that we won?" I mutter.
We speed back to the Batcave beneath Wayne manor. We enter the gloomy stone complex and are greeted by Alfred.
"Back so soon Master Bruce?" Asks the butler. "I would have assumed your battle would have lasted longer than five minutes." Batman doesn't answer, he just walks over to the main computer slips in the disk we obtained, and starts searching through the data.
"Ha. It was easy Alfred, we kicked his but in less than two! You should'a seen it!" I crow.
"Good job Master Timothy! I assume Master Bruce here wasn't satisfied with just a victory though?"
"No kidding Alfred, he didn't even crack a smile." We both look at the detective as he works at the computer with his back turned to us.
"I can't afford to let my guard down for an instant or something might take advantage of my momentary weakness." Bruce says, not even turning to look at us.
"Sometimes I worry about you Master Bruce." Alfred says. "You need some joy in your life or you'll end up a bitter old man."
"If that's what it takes to keep Gotham safe, than so be it."
Me and Alfred exchange a look. We sigh, knowing there is nothing we can do to change his mind. Alfred leaves to go get a meal. This is going to be a long night for Batman. I go to my room and shed my Robin costume to slip into my PJs. I hop into bed and look at the clock. 10:49. Not too incredibly late. I should still get enough sleep for school tomorrow.
My adrenaline rush has disappeared and I'm left exhausted. I fall asleep quickly.
Batman
I study the disk I got from Two-Face. It seems to be just the normal mob information. Names of the families who owe "protection" money, names of members who need to have "unfortunate accidents." But why would Two-Face carry around information this insignificant? It doesn't add up.
"Late night sustenance Master Bruce." Comes the voice of my most loyal friend.
"Thanks Alfred." I say. I pull off my cowl and take the cup of coffee from the tray that is now located next to me. I take a deep sip and allow the caffeine to flow through me, driving away my drowsiness. I take a banana and some cheese. The banana will give me long lasting energy, and the cheese will keep me full for longer, so I won't need to take breaks as frequently. I munch on these as I turn back to the computer screen.
"It just doesn't make sense." I say out loud; voicing my thoughts to my butler. "This is all just your normal mob information. Why would it be so important that Two-Face was carrying it around?"
"A code perhaps?" Suggests Alfred. "Or perhaps the disk itself serves another purpose?"
"I looked for codes and didn't come up with anything. But I never considered looking at the actual disk for other uses." I eject the disk from the Batcomputer and take it over to my lab. I pull out a few of my tools and put them on a tray, making sure they are within easy reach. I open a drawer and take out a microscope.
Placing the disk under he microscope I peer into the shaft. I see all the ridges and bumps that normal disks would have. Nothing unusual. I turn the disk over. Same thing. No difference. I try increasing the scale of the microscope. I zoom in closer to the disk and notice something I couldn't see before. Inside the ridges of the disk are other mini-ridges. It's basically disk within a disk, but you would need a special disk reader to get the information from the smaller ridges.
"Alfred, I'm going to need to talk to Lucius in the morning. Make sure I remember." I call.
"As you wish Master Bruce. Now if that's all, it is time for bed! You have an event to attend bright and early." My old friend ushers me upstairs to my room. I change out of my costume and slump into bed. I look at the clock. 1:43. I'm going to be tired today.
Two-Face
I don't put up a fight as I'm escorted to my cell at Arkham Asylum. I'm used to this by now, though that doesn't make it any more fun. I allow myself a small feeling of satisfaction as I reflect back on my performance. Rob a bank, get stopped by Batman. Make sure he can find the disk, but don't make it obvious. Get escorted to Arkham Asylum. Then just wait for everything to unfold.
I am tossed in my normal high security cell. The door is shut and locked behind me. I wait until the guards' footsteps are gone and start to laugh.
Chapter 1 complete. This is my new story. Batman the Animated Series rather than Teen Titans. This chapter was just an into, hence how short it is.
