Okay, so this is the last day before duhn duhn duhn...THE BATMAN COMES BACK.

Day 7 - Age: 10

Recognize Black Canary A13

Black Canary ran into the living room, where she found the team playing what seemed like poker, but with Megan's multifarious cookies. (Vocab word, sorry I have to use it at least once in my life :))

"Team, have you seen Red Tornado?" Black Canary asked urgently.

"No, why?" Artemis asked, slapping Wally's hand after he grabbed a cookie from her pile without looking.

"Uh..." Black Canary stumbled, looking at Robin with a nervous look.

"I just got the alert about Joker holding hostages in Gotham. I will grab anyone available and meet you in there." Red Tornado said as he walked up to the group.

"Red!" Black Canary chastised, motioning with her eyes to Robin.

"Oh." Red Tornado said, emotionless.

"I'll go suit up." Robin said, sitting up. (He was wearing jeans and a shirt at the time.)

"No, you won't." Black Canary said.

"Yes I will. You don't know Joker. I do." Robin said.

"It doesn't matter, you're ten." Black Canary shot back.

"So what, my first kidnapping by Joker happened when I was 9." Robin replied, his eyes narrowing.

The team watched Robin bicker with the super heroine, shocked.

"You need me, BC." Robin said, bitterly.

"Bruce wouldn't allow it." Black Canary sighed.

"So what, are you going to put those 13 hostages' lives in a mad man's hands?" Robin asked.

"How'd you know it was 13?" Black Canary asked, surprised.

"When Joker takes hostages it's either one, or 13. His lucky number. Because, it's the unlucky number. I know Joker. He likes to play. Especially with me, and because of that, he won't dare throw away his favorite toy. You need to call off everyone. I'm going in alone. No one but me goes, no one gets hurt." Robin said. His voice cold.

"Robin, you can't. At least don't go alone. Please...I'll go with you." Zatanna offered urgently.

"No. I don't want any of you to go." Robin said, turning around to face the team. "Especially you." Robin said, looking at Zee (13) with pleading eyes.

"Fine. Red, call off everyone. Go." Black Canary said to Robin.

"Zee?" Robin asked, looking at Zatanna.

Zatanna sighed, "egnahc niboR otni sih tius dna tcetorp mih." (Change Robin into his suit and protect him)

"Thank's Zee. I know how much those drain you." Robin said, hugging Zatanna before he sprinted off toward the Zeta Tube.

Recognize Robin B01

"Are you really just going to let him go out there? Alone?" Artemis asked. "Let me go, I know Gotham like the back of my hand. It's my home." Artemis said urgently.

"You will all be going. But" Black Canary sighed. "As much as it is hard to believe, Robin can handle Joker. Just go for a precaution. Don't interfere. Unless it's an absolute emergency." She explained.

The team nodded and left to suit up.


They went to the coordinates that Black Canary had sent, and the watched, hidden in the shadows, on the roof.

"Keep quiet." Megan reminded.

"I put a cloaking spell, but I'm still a little drained from that protecting spell." Zatanna announced.

"It is okay. We will stay hidden." Aqualad announced.

"Guys, somethings happening." Wally said.


"Let them go, Joker!" Robin exclaimed as he dropped down bars on the ceiling.

"Birdie! Your back! I thought you died because of that idiot Mirror Master!" Joker chuckled jumping up and down and clapping his hands. "Have you come to play?" Joker asked, ecstatic.

"Let the hostages go and we can play." Robin offered.

"Oh Birdie, what's the fun in that?" Joker said, his face frowning, but his make-up making him seem as if he was smiling.

"Fine, you wanna play. We can play." Robin smirked. He let out a two bird-a-rangs and a crackle.

"Nah, ah ah. You didn't say go." Joker said, dodging the bird-a-rangs. Joker took out two throwing knives and started to fling them at Robin, who also dogded it.

Doing 2 front hand springs, Robin flipped over and landed a kick to Joker's stomach.

"Ouch, Birdie. That actually hurt, but not as much as this." Joker said, standing back up and swiping a knife at Robin. Robin started to walk backwards, dodging the swipes of the sharp weapon. "Stand.. still..." Joker exclaimed frustrated.

"Oh Joker, what's the fun in that?" Robin mocked, crackling.

"Oh you little twit."

"JOKER WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED. LET THE HOSTAGES GO." Commissioner Gordon's voice rang throughout the abandoned building.

"Well, I guess our play date got ruined. It's okay, I'll see you soon little birdie."


After talking to Commissioner Gordon Robin went back into the ware house and fell to his knees. Gripping his side.

As he struggled to pull out the communicator from his utility belt, the team decided to intervene and went to his side.

"Robin?" Megan asked, tediously flying over to him.

Zatanna went and held him in her lap as she sit down, the team huddling around. She removed his hand and gasped at the dark growing red spot on his side.

"H-Hey...team. I...I s-saw you o-on the r-roof by the way." He smiled, his eyes fighting to stay open. "Joker...kinda...g-got m-my s-s-side a bit..." Robin said as he coughed.

"Yeah, we can see that." Conner grunted.

"Rob, You need to stay awake." Zatanna said as the other members went to call the bioship, prepare the med bay, and call Black Canary.

"O-Okay, Zee." Robin said, looking at her with a smile on his face. "T-The c-civilians...t-they're s-safe now..." Robin said.

"Yeah, they are, because of you." Zatanna said, a tear rolling down her cheek as she applied more pressure to the wound, making Robin hiss in pain.

"Z-Zee?" Robin asked.

"Will...you b-be m-mad a-at m-me...if I..." But Robin's eyes were already closing even as Zatanna and Conner brought him back to the bioship.


So yeah, late. School's catching up to me :( sorry...
