Author's Note: Hi! Ok so this is my first story and I hope that you enjoy it!


Robin POV:

I was falling. Just like them, I was going to fall and never get back up. It started when Batman and I were chasing the Joker after we had just ruined another one of his plans and at the time I was closer to him and I used my grappling hook to get on the building that the Joker was on. While I was being pulled up I saw the silhouette of the Joker on the building, with the silver glint of the knife he was holding. My eyes widen as he smiled and cut off my line sending me plummeting to the ground below. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. I thought, " Is this really how I am going to go? Just like my parents? I hope that Bruce and Alfred will be ok... " I stared at the night sky, the darkness, which I haved learned to find as a comforting presence for the last time.


Batman POV:

We were chasing after the Joker when I noticed that Robin got ahead of me at one point and shot out his grappling hook to catch up to the Joker. I was about to yell at him to stop, but he was already being pulled up by the grappling hook. Joker, the sadistic clown, saw the chance and cut off Robin's grappling hook and I saw him start to fall. I immediately dove down and tightened my cape around myself to increase my speed. As soon as I caught Robin I wrapped my cape around him to protect him from the wind and possibly comfort him. I grabbed my grappling hook and shot the line to the top of building. When I got to the top of the building I unwrapped my cape around Robin and looked him over to make sure he was not wounded. I noticed that his eyes were closed behind the mask and I said, " It is fine to open your eyes now. " Robin opened his eyes slowly and looked around then looked up at me. For a second he seemed dazed, then he immediately jumped out of my arms and looked around quickly. Noticing that there were no threats present, he asked, " What happened? Where's the Joker? " I replied, "He is gone. You are going to go back the the Batmobile while I go after him. " " What! I'm fine. " I sighed and ordered, " Robin. Go to the Batmobile. Now. This is an order. " Robin frowned for a minute, probably debating wether or not he should listen. I sent him a glare, " Robin." With a huff, Robin stalked off and used a grappling hook to swing to the next building where the Batmobile was parked. I started tracking down the Joker, vengeance on my mind for what he did. As I thought about what just happened, one thing went through my mind, " I will not let him fall. "
