Kaiser Wilhelm: You'll see
He knew she was there.
Of course he did. He was the goddamn Batman and she was a meta in his territory.
"What are you doing here?"
She doesn't scare that easily because she's a Gotham girl.
"I just wanted to tell you the teams going well."
She can feel his glare on her but it doesn't make her want to cower, it never really did anything but excite her when she was younger and annoy her now that she's matured and settled down a bit.
He doesn't say anything so she continues.
"Honestly no one blames you for quitting."
She turns to face the shadow he's lurking in.
"There's still a spot for you. Superman's an incompetent leader."
Black Canary would like to think he's smirking.
"They understand that you were only concerned about the kid's safety and they 'volunteered' me to offer you a spot."
There's a pause before a gruff voice responds.
"I'll think about it."
Canary nods and leaves because the bat has already dissolved into the shadows of Gotham.
Everything is numb and dark and he's crawling, clawing his way out of something.
He takes in a shuddering breath and everything is numb and he feels himself slipping from reality back to the peacefulness of death.
He sighs and its shaky but resignedand accepting and just wishing it was over all ready.
Because he's dying all over again.
But he's past the pain, hanging on in his last few minutes, numb to the world.
Then soft, feminine hands are pulling him, grounding him to the world.
Everything aches and it gets worse as he settles back into the world, sending him to agony.
Batman presses a button on his comm.
"Have all the known effects of the Prime punch been accounted for?"
Wonder Woman responds.
"Doom patrol members have changed. Changeling seems to no longer exist in this reality."
Batman doesn't say anything but the click of keys can be heard.
"Garfield Logan age 8, he has no metahuman powers lives with his mother on an animal sanctuary in Bialya."
The line is silent because people aren't sure if they should be happy for him, or sad at the loss of a hero.
Batman breaks the silence.
"What about the multiple incarnations of Hawkman?"
"We're handling it." An annoyed Hawkwoman said.
Pleased, Batman rests back in his chair.
He's just about to sign off the comm when Wonder Woman started talking.
"Hey, Batman, Athena knows you would make a much better leader than Superman."
Batman sighs because he doesn't want to deal with this.
"I'll tell you what I told Black Canary. I'll think about it. Until then I am not a league member."
The noise of keys can be heard again from Batman.
"I have a case."
"Batman, you can't possibly be thinking of going out in the field-"
"Gotham needs me."
The line goes dead from his side.
There's a searing pain and he's screaming because everything hurts.
It's like the opposite of dying, instead of going into peace and leaving pain, he's being violently ripped away from the rest that should be his, is rightfully his as a human being and a dead one at that.
Where is his mother and father?
He belongs with them, and not in this pit of green liquid, writhing and screaming in front of a strange woman.
He screams as pain takes hold in a new, stronger wave.
He wants to be dead, he would cut himself in a million pieces, he would set himself on fire just for his life to end.
He wishes he had jumped off the platform to his death and joined his mother and father while he had the chance for a peaceful death.
He calls out a name his voice filled with his raw agony.
'Bruce!'
Why hasn't he saved him yet?
My name is Robin
I am ten
A criminal once
Beat me dead
