Sorry about the misstakes, confussion, and how rushed the last chapter was. I tried to do better on this chapter. Now for those who don't play Batman Arkham city, Wonder city is a place that you visit in the game, you confront Ra's al Ghul and Talia al Ghul there. So I thought it would be a perfect place for them to set up shop.
The Path of Treachery
| Wonder City
He had done it, he had gone and betrayed his friends, his family, everyone. He was scared for them though. He was scared that if he didn't join that they would be killed. He knew he should have fought but when M'Gann contacted him saying they were surrounded he knew it was a bad idea. Talia would have killed them in a heartbeat if he refused. Now he had given up. He had saved them, but with a price. He didn't know where he was, and he was afraid of what was to come.
He was brought threw the abandon streets of Old Gotham, the Gotham that was built before the new Gotham. Things happened and they built the new Gotham right over the top of the old one. Stories told of Wonder City, the City in which Ra's al Ghul had created as a better world. Unfortunately the Lazarus that was used to power the city actually was toxic. After a while, everyone in Wonder City was driven insane. Those who had made it out before it happened helped shut the place down.
But apparently it wasn't dangerous anymore. Ra's had set up a new base there. And that is where Robin and the ninjas that were escorting him were heading. He didn't like it. He didn't want to go there. But he had to do it, not for him, but for his friends, for the League, for Bruce. He was scared for their lives. His didn't matter to him anymore, only theirs.
They made their way to the entrance of Wonder city. They went through a door that led away from Old Gotham and into Wonder city. Robin's eyes widened as he looked at the entrance of Wonder city. Hanging above him were dead criminals, they were strung up by their hands. Robin felt like he was going to be sick. This place was disgusting! One of the ninjas had to push him to get him moving again. He tried not to look up again, instead looking down at his combat boots that had replaced his boots he wore as Robin.
As they made their way through the abandon streets of Wonder city, Robin realized how disturbing the old city truly was. Tubes of Lazarus were everywhere, on the walls, in the floor, everywhere. The buildings in it were crumbled and tattered, falling apart at the seams. Old baby carriages were here and there, some with skeletons in them making Robin want to hurl. Robots of sorts were there too, they were the mechanical guardians of Wonder city, but it looked like they didn't work now. There was blood in a few places, stained into the ground.
Robin's stomach did a flip as he saw this. How could someone even want to be near a place like this? It was disturbing and disgusting! The ninjas still led him on word. The led him to a door that looked like it hadn't been opened in thousands of years, which made no sense if that's where the ninjas were taking him. One of the ninjas walked forwards and went over to a wall to the left of the door. She pushed a brick in and pushed it upwards showing a hole that looked like a sword would fit in. She took her sword and put it in the hole she than turned the sword as if it was a key. The wall then opened up into a cavern.
Robin with the two ninjas went down into the cavern. There were a few cages every now and then, they had skeletons in them, ones that were in chains and looked like long forgotten prisoners. Robin quickly averted his eyes from them. Finally they reached a ladder that led up to a sewer man hole. They all climbed up it and came to what looked like another part of Wonder city. The two ninjas led him threw some large doors until they reached a final door; this one had two statues of Ra's and him holding a sword. Talia was waiting by the door; she smiled warmly and walked down towards him.
She told the ninjas to leave as she walked up to Robin. The two ninjas complied and bowed to Talia before leaving. She walked up to Robin and put a hand on his shoulder. "You will make a fine leader." Robin winced at that. He didn't want to be a good leader. He didn't want to kill or be a ruler. He wanted to be home with Bruce and Alfred. Talia didn't seem to notice the wince, that or she ignored it, and led him forwards. They went up to the last door and Talia pushed it open. They both walked in to the room. This room was the one where the Lazarus pit was kept.
The Lazarus pit was sitting at the back of the room. Around the walls were tubes of Lazarus and machines. It looked like Frankenstein's lab almost. Robin gulped, he didn't like the looks of this place. He turned towards the Lazarus pit and his eyes widened. Ra's was knelling by the Lazarus pit. He had a green cloak hiding his green body armor and tattoos. He had a sword in his hand and was looking at his reflection in it. He had his back to Talia and Robin but still heard them come in.
"I see that Richard had decided to join us."
"Yes father, he joined us."
"Good, I was hoping you would join. But there is still much you will have to learn before you are ready to lead the League of Assassins. You see, many years ago, before your dear father Bruce was every Batman. He came to me, seeking the knowledge on how to fight, how to obtain justice. So I taught him the ways of our knowledge. And now, I will teach you. You will be powerful, and you will lead the League of Assassins as their new ruler. You will be a hero."
Robin bowed his head and closed his eyes. He couldn't turn back now. It was over.
Next chapter the League and Bats will find out about Robin.
