This is based on the Teen Titans episodes The Apprentice Part 1 and 2.
Chapter 1: Gone with the Robin
"It stinks down here," remarked Zatanna, clamping her hands over her nose.
"What did you expect, Z? It's a sewer," said Robin, walking beside her.
"This isn't what I had in mind for our 2 month anniversary Rob," his girlfriend replied.
"I didn't know Batman was gonna deploy us on a mission," her boyfriend said, throwing his arms back in exaggeration.
"Where is Clay-whatsits-Face anyway?" Zatanna asked, anger bubbling inside her.
"Very funny. His name is ClayFace and…" as Robin was saying this there was a shout from a connecting tunnel "I'm guessing he's that way," and the 2 teens ran in the direction.
Kid Flash had been thrown against the wall. Artemis followed. Superboy attempted to give ClayFace a punch but he literally chewed him up and spat him out. Aqualad, Rocket and Miss Martian were yet to appear on scene.
"Little help guys!" Wally said through the telepathic link.
"On our way," Robin and Zatanna thought in unison back.
They skidded to a halt as they arrived at the fight.
"What did you do?! Stop to make-out?" Kid Flash cried in frustration.
"Relax K.F," Robin said.
He sprang off a wall and threw explosives in the direction of ClayFace. The explosives went off but had no visible affect on their attacker. Robin landed on his feet next to Artemis, who was having trouble re-stringing her bow.
"What now?" he asked her as Wally started running a funnel of water around ClayFace.
"Got no idea," replied Artemis, finally fixing her bow and releasing an explosive arrow.
"I have one," thought Aqualad "Robin, do you have any ice pellets?"
"What kind of Bat would I be if I didn't?" Robin replied, smirking.
"Through them into ClayFace… That should buy us some time," thought Aqualad.
Robin, yet again, sprang off the wall but this time threw a handful of ice pellets. They sank into ClayFace's head. What Robin wasn't expecting was ClayFace's reaction. He swung his arm and slammed the Boy Wonder into the brick wall. He disconnected his arm, leaving Robin suspended above the ground.
"Dniw wolb ta ecaFyalC!" Zatanna shouted and a powerful gust of wind hit ClayFace hard.
In retaliation ClayFace swung his arm and hit Zatanna down. At that moment Robin's ice pellets went off (the pressure from inside ClayFace had delayed their detonation). Ice started forming on ClayFace's head. He grunted at this and disconnected the iced parts of himself.
"Nice try brats… but answer me this," everyone looked at him, this was the first time ClayFace had spoken "How long can the Boy Wonder hold his breath?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the trapped Robin. No one had realized that ClayFace's disconnected arm had covered the Boy Wonder's nose and mouth, preventing him from breathing!
"Robin!" Zatanna cried, her boyfriend had passed out without anyone realizing.
"Ha, ha!" ClayFace laughed.
The ClayFace arm that had Robin trapped started moving, taking Robin with it. It reconnected to ClayFace, Robin in his hand.
"Ha, ha!" ClayFace laughed again.
"Tel og fo ym dneirfyob!" Zatanna shouted, her fury escaping her.
ClayFace suddenly felt the urge to let go of his captive. He dropped Robin in a mine cart that nobody had noticed until then. They heard Robin groan as he hit the metal container and his gasps for air. Wally suddenly got his senses back and made a sprint for Robin, who was yet to fully come to. ClayFace grabbed Kid Flash and flung him away. Zatanna made a run for her boyfriend but was sent flying too. They suddenly heard the sound of machinery activate and the mine cart containing the Boy Wonder started moving along submerged tracks. The Team made a frantic run for the cart but ClayFace kept them at bay. The last thing they saw of the cart was Robin's computer-gloved arm hanging limply out of it. They looked tragically at one another. Then a lazar rose from the sewer water and fired. Everyone looked at one another. They were fine. The beam had done nothing. But was Robin fine?
