Kid Flash was ecstatic. His leg had healed enough so that he could run on it for minutes at a time and not feel any pain. When he found out the League had discovered the location of Batman and Robin and the team was requested to help, his excitement only grew. In the blink of an eye his was already in his uniform and ready to set off in Meghan's bio-ship.
Kaldur's shoulder was still in bad shape, so he waved the rest of the team goodbye as they set off on their mission. Wally, Meghan, Superboy and Artemis were at the edge of their seats as they got closer and closer to the given location. "We're here!" Meghan said and landed the bio-ship.
The moon hung over the dark, brick building. A field of grass surrounded it, which made it a perfect hiding place since it was out of range for any electronic signals. The Joker's robots lined the outside of the building, ready to attack anything that came near. Wonder Woman, Superman and Green Arrow were hiding behind a patch of trees in the distance, and from their view only one door was accessible to enter. The team ran up to the heroes, watching the building for any sign of Robin.
"Okay, I'll make this clear." Superman grumbled, "Kid Flash, since the Flash is out of commission right now, we'll need you to find Robin. We know he's in trouble, so don't waste time. The rest of us will be searching for Harley Quinn and Batman. Go!" Kid Flash didn't wait another second. He ran towards the mysterious building and knocked the only door open.
It took a few minutes for Kid Flash to even realize what he was doing and where he was. Every hallway was another passageway in a maze, and he found himself running in circles many times. Eventually he stopped and listened, because he was going nowhere and he knew it.
Wait, what's that? Slowly walking to another hallway, the soft noise became louder. Someone's screaming… Kid Flash didn't waste any more time. Running towards the noise, he dodged doors and large men guarding the building.
The screaming continued to get louder and louder, and Kid Flash felt like he would never get there. Then the hallway opened up into a large, concrete room. There was nothing in the room except for some people, faces that Kid Flash could barely make out. Harley and…ROB!
Robin was kneeling over in the middle of the room, and Kid Flash could see the agony on his face. He ran towards the Boy Wonder, and at the last second saw the reason for Robin's pain.
His left arm was completely enveloped in flames.
Kid Flash knocked into Robin and continued to run until he reached the wall in the far corner. His speed had terminated the fire, and now Robin laid on the ground with his arm bleeding heavily. "It's okay, Rob. I'm here." Kid Flash tried to soothe his friend as he looked back to see Harley rushing at him.
Robin's lips moved, and only a soft whisper came out, "Bruce in left room…525…" And with that his body went limp, and Kid Flash carried him away from Harley, who had just grabbed a bazooka.
Kid Flash knew he had to stay in that room, or else he would never find it again. "Kid Flash to…um…everyone! I found Robin, and he knows where Batman is. Come to my location, Harley is coming at us with a bazooka, I could use some help!"
With a loud bang a large bullet flew towards Kid Flash. He dodged to the side and it crashed into the wall, exploding and catching nearby objects on fire. A few moments later Superman and Wonder Woman showed up, then Meghan and Artemis right behind them.
Harley took a few steps back away from the heroes, then hit the back wall. "Get back," she snarled. "I already shot once, I will do it again!" Kid Flash then slowed to a stop next to Meghan and Artemis, and they immediately started to take care of Robin's wounds.
"Joker's alive, Harley!" Wonder Woman yelled.
"I don't believe you!" Tears started to stream down her pale face.
"He really is alive, he's okay. He's in Arkham." Wonder Woman tried again.
"Well, I'm not going there. I can't go there…not again." The bazooka dropped from her arms and Superman took this opportunity to take Harley down. With an easy punch, she was knocked unconscious.
Green Arrow and Superboy appeared and were quickly caught up. "Where did Robin say Batman was?" Superman asked.
Kid Flash could barely stand watching his friend in pain, so he looked away and answered, "He said he's in the room to the left. And then he said three numbers, 525." All the heroes looked to the left and saw a large, metal door with a keypad on the wall.
"We need a code." Green Arrow walked over to the keypad and eyes it warily. Then he punched in 525…but nothing happened. "It looks like we need at least two more numbers. This should only take me a few minutes." The green hero said and went right into punching in numbers.
Kid Flash walked over to where Robin was, and tears stung his eyes as he looked at his best friend. The boy was deathly pale and skinny, it was hard to believe so much could happen to one person in only a few days.
"Will he be okay?" Kid Flash asked, looking away.
"Yeah, he's in pretty bad shape, but it is mostly his arm that is the problem. He'll get a few scars, but I think that's it." Artemis replied.
"I got it!" Green Arrow's voice echoed throughout the large room.
"You three take Robin back to the bio-ship. We'll get him immediate medical attention at the Watch Tower." Wonder Woman ordered. Meghan lifted Robin into the air, and they slowly walked back to the entrance of the building.
Wonder Woman walked over to the door where Green Arrow and Superman were waiting. As the final number was entered into the keypad, the door unlocked and Superman pushed the door to the ground.
"I could have done that in the first place." The Man of Steel commented.
"It wouldn't have been as much fun for me." Green Arrow smirked.
The heroes walked inside to find their teammate, Batman, sleeping soundly on a bed.
Only one more chapter :(
