Winged Secrets
Chapter 1
'Mount justice'
The "Young Justice" team had just returned from their most recent mission. Joker had escaped from Arkhum asylum again, but had been no problem for the small group of teenage superheroes. The team sat down at a nearby table as the last member came through the zeta tubes. "Robin B-0-1", the machine said as Robin the boy wonder, the most experienced team member, the youngest hero ever, and the protégé of the legendary Batman, walked through it. He sat down next to Aqualad, as the group began their small discussion of the day's battle.
Mrs. M was the one to begin the discussion. "Why do you think Joker broke out?"
KF laughed a little. "What doesn't one of these 'villains' brake out for?" He said with humor in his voice moving his hands on the word villains.
"It does not seem like a normal break out, he did not struggle." Replied Aqualad looking at his team as if looking for an answer, which he never got.
Robin remained quiet leaving his team suspicious, usually he would be saying something like, the opposite of disturbing is turbing but right now he was quiet.
"Robin." Artimis began. "Are you ok?"
Robin looked up from the table surprised at the question. "Yeah, why?"
"Well you're not even joining in on the conversation." Replied Artimis a little more suspicious then before.
"I'm fine!" Robin said as he stood up, not looking back to his team as he walked out of the zeta tube.
"What's up with him?" KF asked confused at what had just happened.
"Well to him, nothing." Aqualad informed them.
"Do you think he knows something we don't?" The team looked at each other, was it true did their little brother know something they didn't?
'Wayne Manner'
Truth was he did, as Dick Richard John Grayson walked into the Wayne mansion he was thinking the same thing.
He walked up a few sets of stairs and walked down a short hall tell walking in front of a large door, compared to most bedroom doors. He walked into his dark abandoned room; his large window was opened letting a small breeze in. He walked past his large book shelf stacked with math, English and other school books, along with a few books on 'trapeze artists'. He went up to his bed and brushed off his homework that was still on it.
He lay down on his bed in his green hooded jacket with black jacket on top of it and black skinny jeans. He crossed his arms under his head and looked down at his black converse. He closed his eyes after a few minutes. Why did she come to me? Why me? He slowly drifted into sleep.
Dick watched as a small band of villains began to appear in a small blade of fog. A light began to show around them seeming to absorb them and leaving nothing left. Dick let out a painful sigh as his eyes opened. That proved it the dream was still haunting his sleepless nights. Dick's door began to creep open.
Alfred, Bruce's old butler and fatherly figure stepped in through the door. "Are you alright Master Richard I heard you sigh?"
"I'm fine Alfred; I just have been having some weird dreams lately."
Alfred tried and calm his young master but it was no use. He was ready to walk out when a shadow flashed a crossed Dick's open window. Alfred turned around to see a young woman in a green kimono. She reached into a compartment in her kimono, pulling out three poison disks and pointing them at Alfred.
Dick looked startled at the presence of the assassin Cheshire; he looked at the disks and saw where she was aiming. W- What she's aiming at…..OH NO ALFRED! Dick ran in front of the wise old butler as the disks were coming at him yelling "Alfred watch out!"
The three poison disks were intercepted with Dick's arm. He let out a horrid scream and fell to the floor. The poison was kicking in faster then he would have thought. Dick couldn't bare it any longer he let into the darkness that was slowly consuming him.
Alfred watched horrified as Dick's eyes closed and the poison went farther into his body. He went to grab his young master only to almost be hit with another poison disk. Alfred quickly ran out of the door trying to get cover from more of Cheshire's poison disks.
He quickly took out a remote like device that had a bat on it. He pressed down on the bat which quickly sent a message to Batman saying he needed help. Not too long after Alfred picked up a communicator device, it was his and Bruce's way of communication should anything happen when he's away.
"Alfred what is it, did something happen?"
"It's Master Richard he's been kidnapped!" Alfred looked back into Dick's room, noticing no one was in there. He slowly took a few steps into the room, and walked over to the still open window. He looked out it to see Dick being shoved into a truck by Cheshire and so goons. "I believe they are heading down to the docks."
"I'm on my way there." Batman quickly did a u turn and floored it heading to the docks. What would an assassin want with Dick? ...Innless they wanted him…. Dead. Batman shuttered a little at the thought of not getting there in time and just finding the body of his baby bird in a pile of his own blood. He pushed the thought away. He had to get there….fast.
