Chapter 10: Joked
After 15 minutes of waiting in the airport for some unknown reason, The Master spoke into Robin's ear-piece and instructed him to return. When Robin had gotten back he was glad for the fact he had worn shades. The Joker stood next to The Master and Zucco. All in sharp suites (although the Joker's had a few more clown elements). They stared at him. All smiling wickedly.
"What have you done or want me to do now?" Robin asked.
"First, introductions. Joker, this is Robin. Robin..." The Master got cut short.
"I know who he is... I'm pretty sure I helped throw him in Arkem?" said Robin, folding his arms.
The Master sighed then launched himself at Robin. In a matter of seconds, Robin's left arm was pinned behind his back, he was bent down and his free arm was being used to stop himself from falling forwards.
"Manners Robin. Manners are a vertue," The Master said, grimmly.
"OU! Ok ok! I give! Uncle! Let go!" Robin cried.
The Master kicked him to the floor, where he stayed. Slowly... very slowly... Robin was braking.
"The meeting is happening tonight. 11 pm. Robin tipped us off. Hopefully we'll be able to capture The Master and hopefully he'll reveal how to remove the nanos," said Aqualad.
"Agreed. On this occasion the League will assist. Robin is highly trained. I should know. We don't know who else will be there. Zucco has many resources that Robin and I failed to put a stop too," said Batman.
"We will prepare..." and the Team and League started moving into differant parts of the Cave to do so.
When Batman and Aqualad were the only 2 left in the training hall Batman took a step closer.
"I asoom since you have learnt who Robin really is you have deduced who I am," he said.
Aqualad swollowed and nodded.
"Bruce Wayne," Aqualad gulped.
Batman nodded and placed his hand on Aqualad's sholder.
"Bring my son back," and with this surprising statment Batman left.
Aqualad rubbed the back of his neck. He suddenly fealt awkward. Maybe Wally was right (to quote chapter 2) maybe Batman did care about Robin. Aqualad shook his head and went after the rest of the Team. Artemis was preparing more arrows and placed them in her quiver (or whatever it was if you know tell me). The rest of the Team, not needing aquiptment, were just standing around. Rocket fiddled and secured her belt.
"Hey Wally, you finally get to be part of a Team-League team-up," she said.
"I'd prefer it if my best friend wasn't going to fight against us," Wally said, putting fresher protean bars in his cabinits on his wrist.
"Try to lighten a mood and this is what you get," Rocket said.
"You don't know Robin as well as I- we do. The more you know someone the harsher it is..." Zatanna lingured.
"The harsher it is when they betray you?" filled in Rocket.
"Team," everyone looked at Aqualad "Tonight we fight for our friend,"
M' gann suddenly screamed.
"M' gann what's wrong!?" Superboy asked her.
"Robin... he's in pain... they abuse him... he says... he says... Queen Bee's going to be at the drop... to represent The Light! The things he stole... they were for them... they're apart of something..." she stood up, wearily "I lost it. Can't pick him up... I think he's been knocked out,"
Robin lay on the metal floor. He had irritated Joker in some illogical way. The Master had subdued Joker's attempt to murder the Boy Wonder. But had allowed him to be knocked out...
"Prepare yourselves gentlmen. We're about to become rich," said The Master just as Robin lost contosness.
