I do not own Young Justice
I do not own Robin, in legal form or body... XD
I may contiue this...though it will start as a one-shot, see how people will react.
Watchmen? Watched the movie last night-Amazing. New Fav. Movie.
SERIOUSLY, I HAVE A TIE ON PAIRINGS FOR ROBIN
DO ME A FAVOR AND PICK ONE AND TELL ME
He made his way down the hall silently, retracing his footsteps by memory, no by light. The corridor was dark as night and cool.
Carefully easing open the doors, he slipped inside and eased it shut, sighing at the near inaudiable click it made.
"Thought we agreed we'd work on this together." Wally's voice drifted to him from the darkness of the room. Robin froze, rooted to the spot.
How did he know he was going to be there?
A gust of wind brought goosebumps onto his arms and the light was flipped on, stinging his non-adjusted eyes from behind his mask.
"Dude, what happened?" His arm was bandaged, from under his shirt to the lower part of his forearm and had a cut above his eyebrow, stitched. His cape was torn as was his clothing.
"Nothing much." he shrugged it off, heading for the computer.
"Does Batman know?" Robin glared at the ginger, demanding that Wally not breathe a word to him. Only a few days had passed since Wally and Robin had worked together in Gotham before Batman was called away on yet another off-world mission. "Well?"
"I have some intel and i couldn't wait to crack it."
"Is it about that kid's case?" Wally peered over his shoulder.
"No shit, Sherlock." He plugged his wrist computer into the Pit's computer and pulled up several files. "I copied several from the Batcave, the police files, and a few from the Watchtower. Then i grabbed some from Zucco's headquarters a few hours ago."
"Why not work on it at the BatCave?" Wally's eyes widened.
"Because Batman would see it and freak." He cocked an eyebrow, his facial expression screaming about how stupid the ginger was being.
For the next several hours, Wally steadily got them snacks and drinks while he watched Robin work through the files, cracking their encryption codes and gathering the imforamtion onto one file before sorting through what he thought was important and what he thought was less needed.
Daylight was coming pretty quickly; it was nearing four in the morning.
By the time Robin was done, he was throughly exhausted and very pleased. He turned to find Wally slumped in a seat, sleeping and snoring. "I do all the work and he...grrr. Wally! Wake up!"
-X-
The team was busy with training and school for the next few days, leaving Wally burning with the unknown information Robin had found. Robin had put the computer on "LockDown" where he couldn't read it. He also hadn't had the chance to discuss it with the rest of the team, which aggrivated him even more.
Robin could only laugh at the ginger's irritation.
As the days wound tighter together, Robin was becoming aggitated as well, though for another reason.
It would be that almost five years have passed since his parents' murder and that scumb was still on the streets, causing people to slip and break theri necks.
As of now, the team was finishing up its Training Session with Canary. She and Robin were sparring one on one and so far, Canary had the little bird cornered. He barely had time to dodge the hits, let alone take his own aim and try to hit her. Though, admittedly, he had lasted a lot longer than any of the others.
The final seconds were ticking down, everyone knew this and was on edge. The blonde and acrobat's quick, harsh movements had become blurred together as they fought to gain the upper hand.
Then Robin did something unexpected.
He slipped under Canary and gave he a round-house kick to her lower back, sending her tumbling off the side of the Arena in shock.
Silence.
Stillness.
He had the urge to laugh at her.
She got onto her hands and knees as the computer's voice monotoned, "Canary Status: Fail."
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" M'gann knelt next to her.
"Yes, i'm fine. Just took me by surprise there." She stood up and gave Robin a hard look, seemingly to try and figure out what had happened.
But she knew what had happened.
His parents' death anneversiry was coming up within a week's time.
"That's enough for today, i think."
-X-
Robin and the others had gathered into ThePit after getting showered and changed, opting to eat lunch there, undisturbed and alone. This way, they could both talk about the case and plan.
Though Robin had no intentions to go through with their plans.
He was going to get his revenge.
Alone.
"How do you know Batman won't find us here?" Conner asked, pointing to the camera. Robin looked away from the computer screen, eyes darting from the clone to the machine mounted on the wall.
"You see that box-like thing under it? That's its memory. I hacked it so now all he sees is a dark room with old gym equipment. I also made all of the bugs def by using a maetic feild ."
"Cool." Wally grinned, before garbbing a handful of chips. "Dude, its like you're more tech than human!"
Humanity.
Was it really a word? Or something made up? To make others feel safe from their friends? Was a friend a real thing? Or did they all wish to stab you in the back first chance they got? Was that what Batman thought? Is that why only four people knew who he really was, himself included?
He had given up trying to figure out what 'Humanity'supposedly meant years ago. Dictonaries were what other people thought the word meant, not what it actually meant in terms of reality. They were nothing more than empty words and promises, false truths and lies; hate and pain and lust mixing horribly to create a society on the verge of overpopulation and war.
Lies.
All of it.
He knew the truth of the situation they had found themselves in better then most.
If not all.
His fingers paused on the keys for a shocked moment.
He now knew something was off with him.
Because he did not agree with the thoughts going through his head.
