Hello again everyone. Took awhile for an update, but that's mostly because I was very lazy even though I had planned out chapter 2 almost all the way in my mind. Did any of you guess that the character at the beginning was Robin? I tried to use clothing description as a replacement of what their costume colors were hahaha. The exception was of course Cyborg. Well, without wasting further time, let's get this on the way.
Chapter 2
A large crowd of students were on the roof of the school as they all quietly whispered to each other who they believed would be the last one standing between their school president and a new transfer kid. Most of them thought this kid was insane, nobody ever wanted to pick a fight with Jason. With that thought, almost everyone reached the same conclusion. This kid was either the king of street fighting or he was the dumbest teenager alive.
Almost everybody came to that conclusion.
A pair of green eyes peered around several students blocking her way to get a closer look at the new kid. It was difficult to tell since he had shades on at first, but right now he had his back turned to her. She pondered on this, could this really be the same Richard Grayson from before? He sort of looked like him.
It was possible….
Jason and Richard stared each other down without moving a single muscle. Thoughts were racing through their heads as they tried to analyze the situation and find an efficient and effective way to end the fight before the first move was even made. A gust of wind blew forward and shut the door to the roof causing a loud sound to be echoed across the rooftop.
Richard immediately brought his center closer to the ground and dashed forward with his hands slightly above his sides to rev up several punches. Jason slowly backpedaled as he was being assaulted heavily in the front.
Hmm….he's pushing me closer to the edge of the roof, trying to limit the amount of space I can work with. Not a bad idea….but too obvious.
With that thought, Jason immediately lifted one of us his knees to capitalize on the fact Richard's head was dipped downward. Richard instinctually pulled up both hands to catch Jason's knee with his palms, but as he caught Jason's knee, Jason acted instantly. Using the momentum from Richard's block, Jason bounced his knee against Richard's palm and straightened out his leg. He used his left hand and put it under Richard's palms to prevent the boy from recreating another guard and quickly used his right palm to do several strikes against Richard's chest. Richard coughed as he stumbled backwards trying to regain his breath.
He's going to try and follow up; he thinks those palms are tampering with my breathing. This would theoretically be a clear opening for him
As predicted, Jason dashed forward attempting to finish the fight with one decisive punch to the temple to Richard who appeared to be staggering a bit. As he got closer, Richard smirked and quickly spun a 360 with a wide outside kick with his right heel. The kick collided with Jason's right shoulder causing him to stagger a bit to his right. This was followed up with a left cross which caused Jason to fall backwards. Richard repeated his initial action of a crouched strike as he leapt forward, but this time he jumped right before impact to try and increase the power of his punch to pre-empt a possible weak guard Jason might attempt.
Tch, does he really think that's going to finish me? I feel insulted. Big mistake Richard, you lose control of your momentum when you're in the air.
Jason quickly lay flat against the floor and lifted his foot to force Richard to continue flying forward and crash into the ground. But Richard twisted his body so he landed on all fours and pounced forward with his fists up. A bit shocked, Jason backed up a little as he attempted to block all of Richard's punches. Jason concentrated for a bit, then quickly grabbed and held onto Richard's fist and immediately spun to pull Richard's hand behind his back.
"It's over Richard. Now, why don't you ease up and tell me exactly what it is you're doing?"
"I hope you don't think I managed to get this far with such pitiful attributes."
"What are you talking about? I have you –"
With that, Richard tugged his entire body in the opposite direction it was held. A loud pop and a crack could be heard on the roof. Richard winced for a bit but then quickly turned around and did a roundhouse kick and then jumped back to put some distance between him and Jason. Jason stumbled back a bit and held his side. He wasn't prepared for something like this and the kick had caught him off guard. He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Richard who was gripping his arm and wincing a bit.
There is no way he plans on continuing fighting like this. Nobody is that stupid.
Richard clenched his teeth he mentally prepared himself for this. He had done it many times so the pain wasn't as great as it use to be, but it still hurt. He tugged roughly downward onto his arm which popped his arm into place and then felt around his elbow for the small disfiguration he did to himself. Finding the twisted bone, he applied more pressure on his grip and quickly twisted his elbow section. Another small crack could be heard and he shut his eyes for a second waiting for the sharp but short pain to fade away. He then twisted his arm a bit to check to see if he had put his arm in the proper place. He was starting to breathe unevenly after just a few exchanges.
This was clearly not going to be as simple as he thought.
A blonde in a purple hoodie grunted a bit as he surveyed the two fights.
"The outcome of this fight is fairly obvious."
His statement caught the attention of a purple haired girl dawning a blue shirt.
"What do you mean, Garfield?"
Before he could even finish, another voice cut in.
"Richard has already lost."
They turned their heads and saw Victor also watching the fight with his arms crossed.
"STOP THE FIGHT NOW!"
Everybody quickly turned their heads to locate the source of the sound. There stood an adult with an all black attire. He was glaring at the crowd of students around him.
"Everyone back to your classes, NOW!"
Students began to slowly shuffle towards the doorway and the once large crowd dispersed until only Jason and Richard were on the roof with the adult.
"Hurry back to your class, Jason."
As Jason approached the doorway, he gave one look to the adult.
"I'm aware of your abilities Mr. Wayne, but do be careful when dealing with this one."
"Noted."
Richard stared down at this Mr. Wayne for a bit. Hmmmm…where had he heard that name before? He was shaken out of his thoughts when he heard talking.
"So, what exactly are you doing?"
"Wasn't it kind of obvious? I was picking a fight with the school president. Some others got in the way, but it was collateral damage."
"You know, some people believe you may actually be good for the school, but it seems like you're just the same as the rest of these delinquents."
Richard narrowed his eyes at this statement.
"Despite this conversation being quite fascinating, I care little for your opinions on me and how I do things."
"Oh, hit a raw nerve did I? You actually think that what you're doing is a good thing?"
Richard sighed as this banter continued. Why do adults always feel as if they are approaching you from a position of moral superiority? It was so fucking annoying.
"Look, Mr. Wayne, you're a busy man and I'm a kid who doesn't give any shits about what busy men say to me. This is a waste of both our times and I care little for your dumb game of twenty insults."
With that, he slowly began to make his way to the door. As he got closer, he felt something grab onto his arm.
"You don't actually think you're going to get away with all the damage you've caused, do you?"
Richard growled as he heard this. He did NOT have time for this. He quickly spun and punched the Wayne character across his face. However, Wayne didn't even stumble from the punch. His head was simply tilted to the side from having made contact with Richard's fist.
"It would appear you were internally injured from your fight with Jason. I hope that's your excuse for being so weak!"
With that, he grabbed onto Richard's arm and threw him and the ground. Richard quickly rolled to his side afterwards and stood up. He dashed forward and threw two consecutive punches. His first was aimed at the right side of Wayne's temple but it had been blocked. His second one came from the opposite side and connected due to Wayne's narrowed line of sight. Yet, it seemed as if he was unaffected by his punches. Richard was then thrown to a wall by a sidekick to his chest. Before he could catch his breath, Wayne grabbed onto the front of his shirt and tossed him at the ground. Then he jumped up and prepared to land the finishing blow. Richard came to his senses quickly and stood up before throwing a high kick that connected with Wayne's chin in mid air.
The fool fell onto my kick which most likely made it hurt more. Hopefully he stays down.
He looked at Wayne who was now on the ground. A thin trail of blood was leaking from his mouth.
"Tch, an admiral opponent, but nothing I haven't seen before."
Richard turned around and began to leave before a low growl was heard behind him. His eyes widened as he quickly began to turn around. But, before he could fully react, he had been punched in the face and pushed backwards to the edge of the roof. Richard finally caught his breath as he realized he was being tilted over the roof.
"Look here Richard, I don't care exactly what you are trying to do, but I'm not going to let you just roam around and cause trouble wherever you want. So let's try and behave ourselves shall we?"
With that, Richard scoffed and simply spat at Wayne's face.
"You know Richard, you may be strong, but you're not very smart. I'll have you know that I can-"
Before Mr. Wayne could even finish his statement, Richard reached out and grabbed Wayne's face and began applying as much pressure as he could. Cracking could be heard as Wayne was gasping and attempting to make a sound to vent out his pain.
"Why is it, that every school I go to has a teacher like you?"
With that, Richard tightened his grip and stood back straight up onto the roof. He clenched his other fist and delivered an uppercut that sent the teacher into the air and onto the ground with a thud.
"I have to admit though, this wasn't easy."
With that, Richard attempted to leave again, for the third time. Then suddenly, small bouts of pain began to creep in and his vision started to blur.
I guess I have a long way to go
With that thought, Richard fell and his vision faded away.
Cafeteria
As students were loitering around with their food, Garfield sat in the corner with the purple haired girl and a couple of other thug looking characters.
"So, Garfield, what do you think about that new student? He put on quite a show against our president."
"Meh, so the kid fights well, it's not like it'll matter soon."
"Ugh, can't believe Mr. Wayne though, way to ruin our fun."
"Don't worry about it Raven, I'll take care of him soon enough. It's almost time to make my move."
Rooftop
A green eyed girl peered around the door as she made her way back to the roof. She saw two figures lying on the ground. She quickly dashed to the unconscious form of Richard and bent down to get a better look at him.
Well, it kind of does look like him. I should probably get him out of here before any other adults show up. Mr. Wayne doesn't look like he'll be okay for awhile, so Richard should be fine.
With that thought, she slowly hoisted Richard over her shoulders and made her way back down the stairs from where she came.
Whew, Chapter 2 done. I took so long to write this mainly because I procrastinated for no real reason hahaha. Anyhow, again, feel free to shoot me a review and tell me what you think! I feel like I'm really clunky when it comes to writing fight scenes. Well, the age discrepancies in the show and comics aren't going to be the same here. Richard is actually younger than the bulk of the other characters. I think I'll list them out next time, so keep that in mind. This is also going to apply as I'm going to bring in a few other characters later that would be years younger than Robin but I feel they fit the character mold I'm trying to make so ignore the age inconsistency.
