The Path of Treachery

| Gotham City

The team and Batman made their way to the warehouse where Ra's told them to meet. It was dark and dreary and it was still raining, just like the night Robin had fallen off that building. Conner shuttered at the memory, his super hearing had picked up the crunching of Robin's bones and it made him sick to his stomach. He hadn't realized how fragile humans were. Or at least, he hadn't until now. M'Gann had felt his pain mentally, it was terrible as well. All his thoughts were bunched together. The thought of going back to his parents made him feel relief and sadness, the fact that he was dying made him feel fear, and these emotions were mixed with so many more. M'Gann didn't know that one person could feel so much.

Wally was filled with rage; he wanted to beat the crap out of rage. The man had taken Dick, his best friend, away from him! He'd kill him! He felt so much rage that M'Gann – who was standing inches from him – flinched and took a few steps closer to Conner. Artemis who was also filled with rage stood next to Wally, both of them had death in their eyes. Kaldur was calm and collected, though on the inside his was filled with sorrow and shame. He was leader, he should have done something! Anything! But he didn't, and now their youngest teammate was dead.

Batman was calm, he felt little rage, little sorrow, because he knew what was going to happen, he knew something they all didn't. He knew Robin wasn't dead. He knew that Ra's had revived him with Lazarus. It was no surprise. Batman still growled at the thought. He knew the Lazarus pit could drive someone insane. He just hoped Dick wouldn't be. Batman sighed, knowing that it was unlikely. He had never seen anyone not go crazy from the Lazarus. Ra's did go crazy, but only temporary. Maybe the crazy was temporary for Dick too? It could happen.

Dick was strong enough to fight his way back to sanity. But considering Talia was probably in the room when they entered the Lazarus into him she probably just smacked the crazy out of him. She did it to her father once. It had helped of course. If only it worked for the Gotham villains. Just smack the crazy out of them. But it only seemed to work with Lazarus victims.

Batman shook his head, clearing his mind from these thoughts. He had a job to do. He led the team inside the warehouse and stood there for a moment. "Ra's! Where is Robin?" Batman called his voice angry and filled with venom.

"Impatient, aren't we Dark Knight?"

The team's eyes widened, they knew that voice from somewhere. Then it hit them. No… It couldn't be him… could it?

"Then again, I shouldn't be surprised; you always did jump to conclusions too fast." The voice said again.

"And what do you mean by that?" Batman asked.

"Simple, you thought Ra's would be here to give you… well… to give you me." Robin walked out of the shadows. He was still wearing the same black outfit but the mouth piece wasn't there. It was still back near the building where he fell. The team's eyes widened seeing Robin alive. Robin smirked at them. "Come on sidekicks. You don't think you can get rid of me that easily do you?" He said looking at them.

He notices they're shocked expressions and bursts out laughing. "Oh… come… on! You guys… can't be… serious!" he says through his laughing fit. "Even the dear Dark Knight over here knew this!" he said as if Batman didn't have a clue about anything.

He continued laughing as the team looked at Batman shocked. "Oh, look what I've done. I've made the poor little sidekicks confused." Robin says putting a hand over his mouth and the other over his heart while shaking his head. He then stops the gesture and looks back at the team and Batman. "You know, I have to say. It'll be a shame to waste such valuable soldiers like you guys." He says with his eyes downcast as if he is actually sad. "But you guys can't be trusted." He says pulling out his sword. "Looks like I'll just have to get rid of you." His eyes narrow behind the mask and he smirks even wider.

He puts his sword up into the air and a few seconds later ninja's fall to the ground from the rafters. There were over two dozen ninja's the team was outnumbered and out matched. But still they had to try. The team charged and started attacking the ninja's. Dick and Bruce stayed in the same place. Batman looked at Robin and nodded. Robin nodded too before charging at Batman. His sword drawn, he grabbed it with both hands and swung it at Batman.

Batman pulled his gloved hands up and blocked his face; his gloves – that was made from the same material as Dick's from training – deflected the sword. Robin smiled evilly at Batman before swinging his sword at the older man's legs. Batman anticipated this and shot his boot up kicking the sword away from Robin.

"Oh I see how it is." Robin said smiling. "You wanna go with hand to hand combat. Alright old man, but it's your funeral." Robin said, cracking his knuckles and punching towards Batman's face. Batman moved backwards a bit only barely dodging Robin's fist. Robin smirked at this before getting down into a grouch and swiftly kicking both his legs against the back of Batman's.

Batman fell to the ground, not seeing this coming. Robin walked over and put a foot on Batman's chest, he pulled a knife to Batman's throat and pulled out a detonator looking device. "I wouldn't move if I were you, my dear Dark Knight. Because if you do, this place blows sky-high, and all these sidekicks, you, and me go with it. Do you really want to live with that?"

Batman didn't answer, just growled at Robin, who still had that evil-looking smile on his face. The team was all being held by a ninja, inhibitor colliers were around their necks rendering their powers useless. Where Ra's got inhibitor collars was beyond Batman. "Good job Arabic." Robin and Batman, plus all the team looked over towards Ra's and Talia. Who had just entered the warehouse.
