Chapter 3! I don't anything, and if I seem to be uploading really fast it is because I have the muse, I am on a role in this writing, and finally this isn't my computer and I can't lose the USB this is save on and if I do I don't want to re-write anything. Whew, that is a lot to say. Anyway, here we go, If I forget something tell me! OH OH! Guess which villain I'm using!
"I can't believe Batman is giving us so much responsibility!" Wally gushed. The team was all in the common area. Robin was upside down hanging off the couch trying to watch the TV on at that moment.
"Wally, don't stand in front of the TV! I'm trying to watch Adventure Time!" Robin whined. Wally glanced at him and smiled evilly. Robin somehow closed his eyes at that moment so he didn't see it. Wally squatted right in front of the Boy Wonder.
"What are you doing?" Robin asked.
"Just thinking on how nice your abs are." Wally said as he ran his fingers over Robin's stomach. Robin didn't miss a beat, he kicked his leg, his flexibility allowing him to kick Wally's head down to his level, they were eye to eye.
"Wally, do you really want to do that? Here?" he said slyly. Arty and Rocket burst out laughing at Wally's face to Robin's reaction.
"Dang! Kid Mouth he got you!" Rocket wheezed after a few seconds of heavy laughter. Wally sighed and lightly hit Robin's head. Robin laughed.
"Dude, you're sick." Wally told him as he headed to the kitchen. Conner and Megan were on a date right now, so Wally had to make himself a snack. Kaldur looked up from his book and sighed.
"Well, we should be happy about the amount of trust being put in us. Please refrain from commenting every 35 seconds though Wally." Kaldur said politely. Wally scoffed but continued to make his snack. Robin rolled over. Two days ago Batman had come in saying Joker had escaped and that the unknown murderer had left Gotham. He had assigned the team to stop the murderer. The team had already told Batman their plan yesterday. Roy would be joining them as well as Batgirl.
Robin was standing now; he let himself yawn then fell back onto the couch. The TV show had ended and he had turned off the TV. He closed his eyes, the quiet chuckles of the talking girls lulling him to sleep…
"Yo, Rob Wake up." A feminine voice woke Robin from his nap.
"Zee?" he whispered, but the figure above him had red hair showing, not black.
"What was that?" the figure said.
"Nothing Babs." He corrected himself. He pushed himself up then quickly tripped the girl dressed almost exactly like Batman. She caught her self before she hit the ground.
"Good job." He said then he flipped over the couch. Roy was on the other side holding a juice box. Robin took it from him and took a sip.
"What if that wasn't for you?" asked Roy.
"Sorry." Robin said. He stretched and looked at the team. He remembered he needed to change into his civies.
"Hey are you sure you don't want Conner with you?" asked Arty. She, along with Kaldur, Megan, Wally, Rocket, Batgirl, and Roy were in uniform. Robin nodded.
"If he is there I look protected. Remember, every person attacked was alone and in an alley smoking something. They were rejects. They were all small in build and had dark hair. All were between 14 and 16. I'm the only one who can do this safely." He said. The team looked worry.
"I could die my hair black." Wally said. Robin sighed.
"Wally, you're too tall. You look too old." Robin pointed out. Robin went out and came back a few minutes later looking rather messy. He had a white t-shirt, a black leather jacket on and tattered jeans. He was also holding a cigarette. His team glared at it.
"I'm not actually going to smoke, you guys know. It is a prop. I won't even light it." He promised. The team nodded. They arrived at their desired alley by way of the bio-ship. Robin slouched against one of the alley walls. He rolled the cigarette between his fingers. He noticed a shadow out of the corner of his eye. He watched as figure came out of the shadows and approached.
"Kid, don't you know it's dangerous to be- DAMMIT! Why are you here! Is that a CIGARETTE?" the figure grabbed the cigarette and ground it under his boot. He glared at Robin. Robin stared at him for a second then let out a noise of shock.
"What are you doing here!" he exclaimed. His team was curious, they cold hear Robin's words because Megan was using Robin's ears and connecting them to everyone's.
Do you know this guy? Roy asked suspiciously. Robin didn't answer.
"Explain right now why you are here, smoking, while a murdering bastard is roaming around here?" the dark figure growled.
Hmm, he reminds me of Batman. Batgirl said.
"Are you alone? Tell me you aren't alone, wait. Why won't you answering me Dick!" The figure said sharply. Luckily Robin's team thought the guy was insulting him.
"I was in the neighborhood. Why'd you call me that?" He asked the guy, still leaning on the wall. The guy suddenly lunged at Robin and grabbed him in a hug. Everyone jumped at the sudden movement.
"Dammit, you aren't alone, and they don't know." Whispered the person into Robin's hair.
"Ok, Robin, why are you here." The figure asked Robin, separating them. Robin sighed.
"James, I'm working, we can talk later." Robin said. James glared at him.
"Robin, I'm not letting you be bait, which I guess is what you're doing?" James asked. Robin shrugged.
"Dammit Rob, stopped being like Bats please. It is better when you laugh." James said softly. Robin snorted.
"One, you sound old. Two, if I remember you specifically said my laugh was annoying." Robin said, his voice became hard.
"I was trying to save you, you know that." James said.
"I don't think you didn't enjoy it." Robin said. His voice was cold.
God! This is James, also known as…
"Dammit, Robin, they would have killed you since you were trained by Batman!" James exclaimed. Robin stood up and turned to face James.
"Why didn't they kill you? Why? You were a cop!"
"They didn't know because…"
"I don't care, you betrayed us! Not only that! You tried to kill Batman!"
"No! You idiot! I wanted him to know bring kids into crime fighting was a bad idea!"
"Oh, yeah, next time I don't like what someone does I'll point a gun at them and yell, 'Go 'f' yourself. You deserve to die!'"
"No! Rob, you got to believe me! I would never hurt you guys!" James stopped short. "You have a team here and you just said all of that? Is that new chick Batgirl here too?" his voice was a sneer, especially on Batgirl. Robin didn't respond.
"Leave." Robin said.
"Robin…"
"Hm, hopefully they know to avoid you, you traitor!" Robin turned his back on James.
" ROBIN!" James yelled as a crowbar came out of no where and caught Robin on the jaw. Robin fell on his face was covered in blood. He jaw was rapidly swelling and bruising. James suddenly had a gun and was firing at a shadow that was trying to get to Robin. The shadow was illuminated when Rocket threw some glowing orbs to see what they were fighting. They saw Poison Ivy in a giant plant bud and a black haired, red skinned woman. The woman had black leather bands wrapping around her chest and skin tight black leather short that look more like stylized underwear. The creature screamed, revealing large fangs and she jumped into the pod with Poison Ivy. The two disappeared as the pod pulled them underground. The YJ dropped down and ran to Robin as soon as they realized they couldn't get the two.
Half of Robin's face was black with blue edging. The skin on the jaw line was split and there was a cut running from the corner of his eye to his chin that was bleeding heavily. He was breathing raggedly.
"Robin!" James was at Robin's side and cradling his head. The team got there next, they were wary of James.
"S-sorry mes Guys, he is good. The code to let him into the cave i-is. G-01- JT Override. G-got it? S- sorr-y f-for ch-changing t-the p-p-plan." Robin was having a hard time forming his words. The team could see the bruising was preventing him from moving his jaw to much.
"Yo, Rob, you ok?" Wally asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"We must bring him to the cave, James right?" Kaldur said. James nodded. "Come with us."
"Wait." Batgirl said. She was glaring at James. "I know who you are and what you did.' She said. James laughed.
"Stalkish as Bats eh? Well, so what. Robin is more important right?" The team nodded a brought James to the cave.
OOOHHHHHH What did James do! Will update soon!
