Hey it's immnony. I do still exist and I haven't forgotten this story. It's Spring Break and I'm not doing anything so hopefully I can post enough chapters to make you people happy long enough for me to do nothing for two weeks again. Anywho thanks for all the reviews and stuff, you guys rock.
Disclaimer: I am poor; I own nothing. Except my library card. I had to pay two dollars for that shit!
"That's your plan?! To turn myself in?!" Robin demanded angrily. His jaw seared in pain and he quickly rubbed his hand against it. "Are you crazy?" he asked, his time much softer.
"Yup, but trust me dude, it'll work," Kid Flash replied. "You make Black Mask believe you're surrendering so he'll call off all of his baddies. While he's preoccupied with you, I take out any of his grunts or lackeys. We get Batman to sneak in and take Black Mask out easy peasy. Whadda ya say?"
"I say that's a stupid idea, KF," Robin snapped. "But it's our only idea right now, so it's going to have to work."
"Aw that's real cute puddin', but Harley's got ideas too ya know!" Harley Quinn appeared on the side of Wayne Enterprise. Robin and Kid Flash jumped and got into a fighting stance. Harley smirked and put one hand on her hip. The other hand was clutching an oversized mallet tightly.
Robin groaned as Kid Flash picked him up bridal style. "Geez can't you carry me like a civil person?"
"I'm doing this for you! You're not allowed to complain!" Kid Flash responded as he bolted from the rooftop.
"What about your plan?"
"Harley knows now. She'll tell Black Mask and ruin our element of surprise," Kid Flash replied as he reached the ground level. He put Robin down and the two crept silently through the streets of Gotham. No villains yet, but they were sure to be nearby. Bane would've told someone he'd found Robin, and they'd be after him.
Catwoman stood atop a skyscraper near the middle of downtown Gotham. Using binoculars she snooped on her little birdie and his friend. They weren't hurt too badly, although Robin's jaw looked swollen. She knew she couldn't fight alongside the two without giving away the fact that she was a traitor, but she wished she could've.
Robin and Kid Flash walked beside each other, watching each other's backs. They'd been wandering for almost thirty minutes, careful to avoid any suspicious looking person.
"It's getting late. Shouldn't we head to your house and get some sleep?" Kid Flash asked. Robin glanced at him like he was an idiot.
"Alfred would send me straight back to Mount Justice. Besides, what if something happens to Batman over night?"
"Can we at least get some food? I'm starving!" Kid Flash's stomach grumbled for emphasis. Robin pulled out a five dollar bill and gestured to a diner about to close up.
"Make it fast. Don't want anyone seeing us," Robin said, handing his friend the money. KF nodded and sped off toward the diner across the street. Robin hid in an alleyway, sticking to the shadows. He hadn't even been waiting for a minute when he noticed something was wrong. The alley was too quiet. He felt a presence shift around behind him and threw a birdarang.
It connected with the scaly skin of a villain Robin wished stopped showing up. Killer Croc growled and Robin felt a claw swipe across his chest. He flew backwards and threw another birdarang. Killer Croc swatted at the metal disc with a snarl.
Robin took a few steps back, getting into a combat stance. Killer Croc snickered and towered over the young boy. Robin didn't let his mind waver, however; he refused to give in to the intimidation. He used his stun gun but Waylon Jones' skin was too strong. The massive beast sent a punch to Robin's arm, snapping the forearm in half.
Robin cried out and clutched his arm. He struggled to keep tears from pouring out. He looked down at his arm and saw that it looked like he had two elbows on one arm. It was nauseating.
"Kid Flash!" Robin shouted, rolling to avoid another hit.
"Stay still and shut up!" Killer Croc hissed. Robin ignored him and punched his scaly face. Killer Croc stumbled back. Without waiting for his friend Robin threw a smoke bomb and used a grappling hook to sneak away to a nearby roof.
Landing atop the roof, Robin collapsed instantly. He ripped a piece of his cape off and fastened it to keep his arm in place. Then he used him comm to give KF a heads up of Killer Croc. Minutes later Kid Flash appeared on the roof beside him, two burgers and fries in his hand.
"Dude I was gone for like five minutes, and you break your arm?"
"I-I didn't realize he was in the alley. He had some kind of protective casing over his skin. I couldn't hurt him." Robin felt horrible both mentally and physically. He couldn't believe he'd let someone as pathetic as Killer Croc pull one over on him.
"If they're all working together we'll need a new plan," Kid Flash said as he finished his burger. Robin had barely taken a bite of his. "They'll only get stronger from here. We need to always be on our toes. No leaving each other, no matter what. We need to watch each other's backs until we come up with a better plan."
Robin was surprised to see his friend take action like that. Kid Flash was a goof ball who never took anything seriously. Robin's injuries were forcing Kid Flash to be mature. He couldn't afford to mess around and let his friend get hurt anymore.
"We could ask Catwoman. She could pretend to capture me and take me straight to Black Mask," Robin said suddenly, the idea coming to him randomly.
"I don't trust her. She's a villain Rob. How do you know she won't double cross us?" KF was not going to trust her just because Robin thought it was a good idea. His uncle always taught him to be cautious around villains, and he was sure Batman had said the same thing to Robin.
"I don't," Robin responded bluntly. "But it's our only shot. I can't take much more of this," Robin gestured to his broken arm and swollen jaw. "So we need to end this now. Tomorrow morning I'll call her and go over the plan. But for right now let's just try to get some rest."
"I'll take the first watch. Try and get some shut eye," Kid Flash said. Robin grunted and lay on his back. Kid Flash waited an hour before deciding Robin was actually asleep. Then he rose silently and reached for his comm link.
"Kid Flash to Flash," he whispered, careful to not wake his friend.
"Wally?" he heard his uncle cry on the other side. "Where did you run off to, Kid?"
"Robin needed help in Gotham," Kid Flash heard his uncle about to scold him but cut him off. "But that doesn't matter. Robin's got a fractured arm and broken jaw. We can't handle this by ourselves. Can you head over and help?"
There was a deep sigh on Flash's side. "Kid, you know I'd be the first one to try and help, but I can't. The League's on an off world mission. All of us. The only one left is Tornado, but he's got to watch the Team, so they don't go running off after you and Robin."
"Flash, he's in bad shape. We're hiding on a rooftop in the middle of Gotham with all of it's villains after his head. He needs help."
"I'll see if we can spare someone, but the League's having a tough time too, Wally. It might be a while. Go to Mount Justice and get Robin fixed up. Leave Gotham to Batman." There was concern laced in Flash's voice. He cared a lot about his nephew.
"There're villains all over the place. There's no way he can get out of here safely, and I'm too tired to carry him myself. We're stuck Flash. Please send someone quick." The comm link disconnected.
KF sat down and rubbed his temples. He glanced at Robin's sleeping figure. The Boy Wonder never let his guard down. But he'd never faced something like this before. Kid Flash gave his friend credit for keeping a cool head when he was obviously in so much pain.
"The boy has a friend with him. The Flash's sidekick is here too," Bane reported back at the warehouse. Black Mask laughed and glanced sideways at Batman, who was pretending to be unconscious. It made eavesdropping much easier.
"A minor inconvenience," Black Mask said, shrugging it off. "Either way he will be mine. I hope you're ready Batman." A twisted laugh filled the room. Black Mask was one to play with his food before he ate it; this included the Boy Wonder.
Elsewhere in Gotham stood Catwoman, hungry and exhausted. She had seen Robin's fight with Killer Croc but was too late to protect him. Now her poor boy had a broken arm. She didn't know where he vanished to with his friend, but she intended to find him in the morning. From what she'd heard, Batman wouldn't last much longer.
Robin seriously has to stop getting hurt. How did he not realize Killer Croc was coming up behind him? He needs to get it together. What's he gonna do when Scarecrow shows up (spoilers) if he can't even handle Killer Croc. PS, I got rid of the Justice League so they can't feel pity and help. I'm an asshole, and trust me Robin's gonna get the shit beat out of him before this story is over.
