Hi people ^^
This is a new story that I started on. (exams are finally over .. thank god!)
I hope you enjoy it :D
and srry for the grammar. I could not get in touch with my beta.
Robin's Pov.
Dick Grayson ran staggeringly over the rooftops of Gotham. He was being chased by some kind of weird machine. He felt his body ache. His feet were hurting more with each and every step. His breath was rapidly increasing.
He was in trouble. At each moment it could possibly catch up to him and take him captive, but he could not let that happen. So he kept on running, and running. Sometimes jumping over rooftops or grappling through the night sky. He had already been running for the last two days. He was tired and exhausted and wasted all of his weapons trying to destroy this strange machine. It didn't work so he could only keep on running. At least until someone could save him.
He cried out to the batman in agony and terror, but there was no dark knight there to save him.
Where was Bruce? Wally? The rest of the team? Where was the justice league now that he needed them. Tears ran amok on his face. Dick only felt one thing while the machine closed in on him and that was despair.
He didn't dare to look over his shoulder, because he knew it was there and so close by. No matter what it was. It wanted him alive. And while using the last of his strength he started typing rapidly on the keyboard of his computer that was on his wrist.
A last message to his friends, colleagues and his father. While the message he felt something grab him and pull him from the ground lifting him up into the cold night sky. The machine went higher and higher pulling him on board just on time, before conditions were unbearable for humans.
On the inside he lost his conscience immediately.
The team's Pov:
A day before Robins capture:
Things had been weird around Mount Justice. Robin already hadn't come over for the last 2 days and the team started to get worried. Especially since the big seven of the justice league were out in space attending to another crisis threatening the earth. That really happened to much.
Wally who was not able to take it anymore decided to try contact Robin's communicator, but all he got was static. So he tried again and again. He even wasted a few hours on it. What to a speedstar was almost an eternity.
The entire team watched Wally trying to contact Robin helplessly. Each and every one of them got more unnerved each second. Until Artemis just stood up and said: 'we should go look for him'. Her eyebrows frowned. 'who knows what could have happened to him'. Zatanna silently nodded. She was worried about Robin even more then she would admit.
Megann clapped in her hands and said: 'please let go! What if something has happened to Robin?' Superboy just grunted and wally was already running towards the Bio-ship.
Kaldur saw how worried they were and that they wanted to go look for Robin, but the Batman would be very angry when they the meta's would enter Gotham City. So he shouted: 'Stop!, you are not going to Gotham!'. 'With all due respect I can understand your eagerness my friends, but I think that only Artemis should go'. 'Batman would be very upset if we went into his city'.
Artemis snorted and said: 'So you are sending me! So that you can escape punishment?'. 'How nice of you, Kaldur!'
'Please do not misunderstand me, but you are no meta like the rest of us'. 'he wouldn't be so angry if you went to his city to look for Robin'.
Wally who had just ran back from the bio-ship just stared angry at Kaldur and said: 'We are all going'. 'Daddybats will forgive us this one time.'
Kaldur saw the truth and determination and truth in Wally's eyes and nodded. They were all going.
They jumped in the Bio-ship and rushed themselves over to Gotham City hoping that they would find Robin.
But as soon as they arrived. They noticed the havoc that was going on in the city. Gotham was in danger and apparently Batman nor Robin where there to save the day. Superboy and Artemis ran in an building that was on fire to save as many people as they could. Miss Martian and Kid Flash stopped some catburglars, while Zatanna and Kaldur stopped a serial rapist from taking his next victim. Nobody said it out loud, but they were all thinking it. If robin wasn't stopping these crimes, then were was he? And so a day went by with them stopping petty crimes and looking for Robin.
After busting a drug cartel Artemis saw Robin running on a couple of rooftops nearby. He was being chased by something and he looked terrible. He typed something on his wrist in pure desperation. When he finished typing the thing grabbed him and lifted him up from the ground and took of to the sky.
Artemis quickly grabbed a couple of arrows, while the team looked at her questioningly. They had not noticed Robin at all. She shot at the thing that had Robin, but the shot just rebounded and she watched while Robin disappeared.
Now the team also saw robin they tried to get him back. But they were to late.
... Pov:
He felt empty. He didn't recall who he was or what he was or even where he was. Everything was dark. His heart, soul and body.
Yet he felt so light as a feather. Probably if he could remember anything. Then he would have known that that feeling wasn't normal, but right now it felt like it was right. Like he should feel.
Slowly he stretched out his arms and felt a hard structure surrounding him. He started banging his fists against it. Fists that were so small that it seemed that they didn't hold any power at all, but he effortlessly hit himself a hole through the structure. And light started flooding in. Scared at first he avoided the light. His hands covering his eyes. But slowly he felt how pleasant the light felt on his skin and he smiled gently. The corners of his mouth just slightly pointing up. He started to break himself out even more.
And then he was out. But as soon as his feet hit the ground he staggered and lost his balance. Surprised he looked at his back only to notice two tiny red wings.
He doesn't know why, but he knows somehow that they should not have been there. That he had changed while being in that scary dark place.
So curious as he was he started to look what it was that had changed him. To his surprise it was an giant red egg.
He squinted his eyes together and asked himself: 'I am a bird?'. 'what kind of bird am I?'
and then he noticed his black with red clothing and said: 'I'm a Robin.' 'I think'... 'No, I am Robin'
Robin knew that he was not who he was before or where he was before. This place was just plain old weird.
He was so not feeling the aster right now. Aster … somehow that word was weird yet very special to him and he would treasure that one simple word. It seemed priceless to him.
