Rebel Justice

Day 1

Robin hung out with the rest of the Rebel Justice team after his talk with Red Arrow. They all started heading out after a couple hours, leaving him almost alone. The only one left in there with him was Arsenal.

"I guess we should get you to bed Birdy," Arsenal said

"Don't call me Birdy, Arrow Boy."

Arsenal glared at him, then led him down the large expanse of hallways to the room he was in before.

"There are clothes in the closet, some pajamas in the dresser. Someone will take you to the cafeteria in the morning. That's when the fun begins."

He left, and Robin decided to explore a little. He was used to late nights and rarely slept. So, he left his room.

The hallway outside his room was less brightly lit, but he could still see clearly. He saw that he was at the end of the hallway, and walked down it, taking special care to note that there were different names on the doors.

The hallway led to an open room, with several different halls heading out from it. He chose one at random, and walked down it. There were several doors, but they were all unlocked and seemed to be storage rooms. One door, however, was locked. On the door was the label 'Armory'. He decided to skip that one for now and come back later. Further down the hall was a double door that led into what seemed to be used as a training room. There were mats on the floor, targets mounted to the walls, and other miscellaneous equipment lying around. He would definitely have to come back here later.

He retraced his steps to the room with the hallways. The next hall he took led him to a lab that was shut down for the night. The infirmary was in another hall, what served as the living room in another, and the mission room was in yet another hallway.

The last hallway he went down, he knew where it led. He walked into the cafeteria, wanting to grab something light before heading off to bed. What he found was Kid Flash… No, Lightspeed.

"What're you doing here Rob? Thought you'd be asleep," Wally said.

"You know us Bats. We don't sleep. But, I thought I'd come in here and grab some food. I was wandering around, checking the place out. Why isn't there a door to the outside?"

"There is, it's just hidden. We don't want just anyone finding us, ya know? Zatanna set up some weird magic hidey voodoo."

The two sat in silence for a while, Wally scarfing down a pie while Robin chewed slowly on a cookie.

"Why are you here, dude? I missed you after you left."

"After the Flash died, I just didn't know what to do. I thought I'd take some time off, ya know? Just think about the meaning of life and all that. But when I heard what Superman did to Luther, what the Justice Lords were doing to the planet. I knew I couldn't go back. I saw how the people reacted when they found out their lives were being ruled by a bunch of metahumans. I thought we were supposed to protect the people and freedom. They don't have that now. People are thrown in jail every day for minor incidents. I just can't be part of that."

Robin understood. He hadn't really talked to the civilians after the Lords had declared martial law, but he could imagine it going badly. Lately, all he had focused on was that he had a family again, and training so he could be as good as Batman one day.

"I think I'm going back to my room. See you tomorrow."

With that Robin left. He lay on his bed, in his room, thinking about what Wally said. What if the civilians didn't think the Justice Lords were protecting them? What if they thought that all their heroes were really villains?

What if they were wrong?

I hope this makes sense to y'all. I was confused while writing it. So enjoy it, if you can understand it. And if you can't, sorry.

Have a superb day,

Shadow
