Chapter 4: WANTED; ROBIN
"Very good very good very good, my apprentice," The Master said.
Robin dumped the bag on the ground. He was soaking wet because it had started raining on his way back.
"Why did you do that to Zatanna?" he asked.
"You spoke in English," The Master explained.
"She used magic on me! I couldn't help it!" Robin shouted.
"Learn to help it! Or the next time… heh… may just be her last,"
At this Robin couldn't contain himself. He ran forward and threw a punch. The Master grabbed his wrist and forced it downwards. Taking advantage of Robin's unguarded back, The Master elbowed him down. Robin went down, landing on his hands and knees. The Master didn't stop there. He kicked Robin's side and the Boy Wonder landed on his right side. Refusing to stop, The Master kicked Robin in the rib-cage, putting the Boy Wonder in an excruciating amount of pain.
"If you disobey me one more time… Well… you won't die but some people close to you will…"
"Eu voința ucide tu dacă tu rănit mea prietenii," (translation; I will kill you if you hurt my friends, pronounced; you voy-eelts-a oo-chee-dray two
da-ka two ra-eelt meh puddy-et-e-lee) Robin wheezed.
Yet again, the Team stood before the Justice League. Aqualad was just finishing up his explination on what happened.
"…but we did see who the thief was and we've been able to identify him," he said.
"Who is it?" Batman asked.
The entire Team, with the exeption of Artemis, bit their bottom lips. Aqualad opened his mouth to answer but the Team's archer beet him to it.
"It was Dick Grayson," she said.
The Leaguers' eyes went wide in shock (they all knew who Dick Grayson was). You could even spot some shock on Batman's face.
"The thief was Robin," Rocket said, bitterly.
"You know who Robin really is?" The Flash said, starring at his protégé.
"Before he escaped…" began Miss Martian "I managed to pick up some of his emotions. He felt remorse, regret, pain, worry, anger and saddness. But I didn't sense anything to surgest mind-controll… Robin was doing it of his own free will,"
"Prove your statements true," said Wonder Woman.
Over the 5 years Dick Grayson had been Robin he had grown on the entire Justice League. Zatanna walked over to the hollow-computer and brought up a hollow-keyboard. She set the roof's security footage playing (something she had learnt how to do from Robin). The footage showed their first attempt to take Robin down; his arms held behind his back by Artemis. The entire League gasped when the head mask was taken off to reveal Dick Grayson.
"Batman, what now?" asked Miss Martian.
"Robin is a member of the Team. It will be your duties to take him down," he said in response, then he noticed something in the still playing security footage "Computer pause play… Did Robin ever say anything on the roof?"
"Nothing we could understand," said Kid Flash.
"It was really annoying," said Superboy.
"What did he say when you first got a hold of him?" Batman asked.
"La-za somethin', somethin' urge-ay, why?" asked Miss Martian.
"Was it lăsa merge?" the Dark Night asked.
"Yeah, how'd you guess?" asked Kid Flash.
"Lăsa merge. Translated into English means let go," said Batman "Robin was speaking Romanian,"
"How and why would Robin be speaking Romanian?" asked Rocket.
"How; Robin isn't American, he's Romanian. Why; I don't know," said Batman.
"So the hole time Rob was responding to our questions. Just not in English," said Aqualad.
"Correct," said Batman.
"Next time we fight him. I'll phychically translate for us," said Miss Martian.
