Dicks POV
New York [June 4,2012 1:39]
I ran harder than i ever had in my life.
What was she thinking? How could she do this?
To the team?
To me?
When a door got in my way i threw two explosive batarangs at the door, blowing it open.
Two hired gunman tried to stop me, but i stopped them instead.
I grabbed one guy and kicked him in the ribs then i dropped to the floor and swept the other guy off his feet. I barged into the next room and heard voices on an intercom.
"Guess where i am little bird?" A hideous voice said.
I grew impatient and threw an explosive at the intercom.
i was about to run into the next room when ten guys into the room.
I pulled out my escrima sticks and walked one in the jaw.
I activated the tazer feature on my escrima stick, and dumped the water cooler on the floor wetting the floor.
I stuck the tazer in the water shocking all the thugs in the room with 30,000 volt's of electricity.
When i realized one of the thugs were still concious i grabbed him by the neck, broke the all glass window and dangled him 10 stories.
"Where is he?" I roared loosening my grip on his neck. He stuttered slightly.
"F-fourtieth floor!" he said liquid trickling down his pant leg.
"S-she's there too!"
"Thanks." I said bringing him back in the room and shattered both his knees, making him lose conciousness out of too much pain.
When i looked back the shattered window had been replaced with a lead lined window. Another intercom came on
. "Your not getting out of here little robin." The voice came back.
Running on pure rage i rammed myself into the lead lined window.
While i did that,the door's were also replaced with lead lined doors.
Calm down, i told myself. Think. Channel your anger.
I pulled up my holo-computer, and studied the building blueprints. While it wasnt a Wayne Enterprises building, it was built by them.
I tried to hack the lead doors, but to no avail. When i studied the blueprints i realized at the top of the door to the elevator was a ventaliation shaft.
I fired a grapple on the ventaliation shaft and tugged breaking the vent cover.
I climbed up the shaft and into it. I couldnt help thinking about how it all came to this. Waht did we do wrong? What did I do wrong?
I guess this is my fault. I didnt see the signs. Did she miss her Father that much that she needed to make a deal with the devil?I found the end of the shaft that led to another vent cover. I kicked the cover and realized that i was in the elevator shaft where the elevator acends and descends.
I hopped on the elevator, and jumped into it. As soon as i did it it broke down and gas flooded it.
An intercom came on again. "Your not getting up here brat." The voice spoke again. "She's mine now!" I had my rebreather on in record time
. When i put the rebreather on,the gas stopped flowing in, and the elevator door opened. I was greeted by an empty room,suprisingly.
I stepped into the room, and machine gun fire nearly hit me. I ducked, and dodged under a buisness desk. Wood splintered everywhere, and i knew i couldnt stay here. I threw a batarang and knocked out the automatic machine gun.
I ran up the stairs deciding i couldnt trust the stupid elevator. Two men fired came downstairs with handguns, but i got to them first.
I grabbed both of their guns, and kicked them down the stairs making them fall on their faces.
I noticed one had a radio on him.
I clicked the radio on and said "When i get up their Klarion, your next." I said crushing the radio.
Klarion has done some horrible things, but this... this was the lowest thing.
He's crossed the line now.
I made it to the 40th floor and, slammed my self into the door.
"Klarion!" I yelled. I glared into the room, and saw Klarion sitting at a desk petting his mangy orange cat.
"Hello baby bird." He laughed like a pyscho.
In rage i threw a batarang at him, but without even touching it, he sent it flying in a different direction, making it fly out the glass window, breaking the window.
"Where is she?!" I yelled. He smiled.
"Wheres who?" he smiled.
"Cut the crap Klarion!" I said my patience gone.
"Where is she?" He snapped his fingers, and Zatanna appeared.
Relief flowed through me when i realized Zatanna was safe, but at the same time i was angry. She betrayed our trust... she betrayed my trust.
"Zatanna!" I ran towards her. "Dont listen to him Robin!" It's a- "Shutup! Klarion said. You'll ruin the big suprise." He snapped his fingers again and Zatanna's mouth was covered with tape, and her body became wrapped in chains.
She fell to the ground and dissapeared. I glared at him.
" Bring her back!" I ran, and punched Klarion, but he dissapeared, and reappeared, and pushed me so i fell to the ground on my stomach.
"Hears the deal little bird." He snickered at me.
"You give me the helmet of Fate in 24 hours." He snapped his fingers again, and Zatanna reappeared sitting in the chair he was before.
"And the baby magician here is free as a bird, and you dont have to do a damn thing besides get me that helmet. What do you say?"
I looked at Zatanna's eyes, and she was afraid.
Truly afraid. Still, i have rules.
"I dont negotiate with wannabe Voldemorts Klarion. Sorry."
His smug smile faded into a glare.
"Did Batman teach you that baby bird? How to be that arrogant in the face of a choice? Besides what do want with your stupid mentor, and your friends?"
He dissapeared, and reappeared next to Zatanna.
He gripped Zatanna's cheeks and Jerked her head so he was facing her.
"Isnt Zatanna here your little love interest? Isnt she more important than the others?" "Stop it!" I yelled. "Isnt she?"He said angling her face towards me,and holding her face up.
I looked at her again this time with half outraged for trying to make a deal with this egotistcal maniac, and half wanting to jump up, untie her, and hug her. "I staggered to my feet and, walked towards Klarion.
"Your right." I said. "I surrender. Just let her go." could feel Zatanna's eyes widened at my declaration of defeat.
"Mmph!" She tried to yell, shaking her head. I could feel Klarion's cold smile in victory. What either of them didnt know was that one of my escrima sticks in my hand. I whacked Klarion in the face.
And shattered his arm, and leg. He screamed in pain, but i wasnt concerned with him. I ran to Zatanna' and ripped the tape off her mouth.
"Ow!" She yelled in pain. I wanted to apologize, but then remebered neither of us would be in the situations we were in if she hadnt gone to Klarion for help.
I dont mind telling you how much it... bothered me that she went to Klarion for help. I know he's a sorcerer but he's the sorcerer whose indirectly responsible for making Zatara put on the helmet of Fate.
I know why he wants it.
It goes way back to when he killed Kent Nelson, the original Dr. Fate.
He wants the helm for its power, and from what I heard Zatanna had promised just that. She agreed to work under Klarion for getting her father back once they released he got the helmet. The problem is what she stole. It's a weapon. A powerful one too. Anyway, I pulled out a lock pick, and tried to work on the chains.
"Did he hurt you?" I asked her a little coldly.
She shook her head.
"Listen Robin…I-
"Forget it." I cut her off still working the lock. "I'll get you out of this,we'll go back to the cave, and you have to explain to me why the hell your working with that stupid son of a- Before I could finish my sentence
I was floating in mid-air. I turned around and saw Klarion holding out his hand at me. Levitating me. Crap!
"You shouldn't have refused my offer bird boy." I flew fast and crashed into the wall. Before I felt the pain I was thrown upwards into the ceiling.
I collapsed to the ground moaning in pain.
I was lifted off the ground into the air. "You such a weakling." He said closing his palm. Instantly my insides felt like they were being crushed together.
"I could squash you like a bug right now." He said crushing me even more. "But your part of the game, so I cant kill you yet." He levitated me to his hand and grabbed my neck.
"Don't worry." He glared at me whispering in a hissing voice. "I wont touch the little magician. Not till I break your spirit, and your body, subject you to everything you most fear. And just when your nearly dead I'll keep her alive just to see how much of a "Hero" you really are. You'll here her scream your name long enough to know you failed her."
In a split second after he said that he pushed me back so far I fell out the broken window.
"Robin! No!" Zatanna screamed as I fell.
Okay, so if the stupid kid with the funny hair really still needs me to go in his "game" why is he trying to kill me?
Theirs too many things going on.
Too many things I don't understand.
Why would Zatanna do this?
Where is the team? Whats the weapon?
I guess I'll never know if I continue to fall like this.
I started thinking about how I got here, why I'm in the position I'm in, and how only two days ago I was…happy.
What went wrong? When did it go wrong?
I guess that for me to figure out.
Let me know if i should keep going. Thanks for reading!
