Training!
The bad guys will appear in future chapters.
Part 4:
By the end of the tour they were all much more friendly and trusting. Except Robin, who was still as untrusting as ever. They move into the training area and Black Canary starts the lesson.
Raph's P.O.V. (Brooklyn accent)
Finally, a chance ta punch somethin. Canary asks ma bros an' I to sit an' watch da first half of da lesson. We watch dem spar for a bit. Da kid's widout powers were way betta dan da kid's wid 'em. Dey need to train more. Kid flash is a lightweight, complainin' after 15 minutes of sparing. Actually I'd probably say Robin was da best an' he's just a little kid. He's definitely a ninja though.
After dat dey let us join in, widout weapons for today. Dey are tougher dan dey look and dey were hard to beat. Mikey won half his fights, Don won one more dan Mike, I won all but 3 of my fights and Leo only lost to Robin who beat us all up and won all his fights.
Robin then exclaimed, "Can I fight all four of them? Please, Canary, please. Consider it extra training with for fights multiple assailants or something."
She sighed and looked at us, "Would you like to go against Robin as a team?"
Obviously we agree. Time for payback.

Third persons P.O.V.
Robin stood in the middle of the pad with one turtle in each corner. None of the turtles had their weapons and Robin didn't have his belt and for some reason had taken of his cape. (A. Edna Mode said, "No capes!") As the fight started the brothers slipped into roles like a well performed routine and worked like a well-oiled machine. Robin ducked Leo's fist twisting to avoid Raph's kick and blocking Don before flipping over Mikey before asking, "What counts as down? I can't put them all in an arm lock but knocking them unconscious would be rude. Or should I defend only?"
Canary replied, "To win your opponent or opponents must be knocked out. We can revive them with our medi-tech after the fight."
Robin smirked and the fight started up again. They spent a few minutes trading blows before the turtles ran in and Robin delivered a nerve pinch to Don causing him to collapse unconscious. Anger drove Raph but Robin blocked or dodged all the attacks before jumping up in a quadruple flip, landing on Raph's shell and knocking him out with a sharp, swift blow. Mikey and Leo both attacked, one on each side, and when Robin was distracted by taking out Mikey, Leo caught him in the stomach. Robin went flying back but rolled so he landed in a crouched position rather than on his back. The two ninjas fought for five minutes with Robin acrobatically avoiding every punch or kick before delivering his own. Robin jumped up onto Leo's shell and locked in before falling forwards taking the turtle with him and securing Leo in an arm lock upon landing.
The turtles had been dragged off (there's no better word coming to mind.) and woken as soon as they had gone down and had been immediately woken up. To see this little kid win was unreal but brilliant.

Leo's P.O.V.
The rest of the day passed in a blur. I remember relaxing with the team and my brothers. At one point Kid Flash went out for his patrol and returned later with a cut lip, laughing about walls and superspeed not mixing. At some point hours after this Robin and Artemis left for their patrols. Batgirl had gotten the night off and the rest of the team didn't have patrol that night. The team were all staying in the cave rather than at their own bases.
Robin and Artemis would come here after their patrols. Someone suggested we stay up till they had returned and that we should treat this like a sleepover. We agreed. It was midnight when Artemis returned and she had a smile on her face. One less drug ring in Star.
It was past two when Batgirl got the call saying she was needed in Gotham. She returned grim faced at three announcing that Robin wouldn't be able to join us. With no-one left to wait for we went to sleep.
The next morning my brothers and I went to the training room and practiced our Katas. The team watched or sparred at the same time. We finished at the same time as they did and we went for breakfast as a group. Everyone was curious as to why Robin wasn't there:
Miss M: So Batgirl, why couldn't Robin come last night?
BG: Gotham business. Don't worry it isn't anything we can't handle.
KF: Oh yeah! Then why are all the news stations saying he was shot dead.
BG: Never believe the news, Kid Idiot. The bullet didn't even penetrate his armour. Oh and the only reason I was called is because we Bats are stretched thin in this time of crisis.
{Voicing almost all of the rooms confusion}Raph: Time of crisis?
{As if it's obvious (well it is to Gothamites)}Artemis: Arkham Breakout.
KF: Who got out?
{Sighing} BG: Joker, Riddler, Scarecrow, Harley, Ivy, Freeze, Bane, Croc, Clock King, Strange, Clayface, Firefly, Two-Face, Penguin, Hatter, Scarface and the Ventriloquist, Zsasz, the whole building. Actually, Langstrom stayed in his cell. He wants to reform and go back to society. Damn, look I gotta go back to Gotham to help with the crime wave that's coming.
Don: What's Arkham?
Aqualad: Arkham is an asylum in Gotham City.
Z: The worst of the worst go there.
KF: The criminals there are all crazy as hell. I don't know how you Bats live there.
He turned to address Batgirl but found she had disappeared. "Recognised, Batgirl: B16" there was a flash of light as she left and Kid laughed, "Well we won't be seeing them for a few days."
Now what…
