Red Robin Talon in a Haystack chapter 11

Disclaimer I own nothing!

Bane charged at the young heroes, Talon jumped out of the way easily but Nightrunner and Robin barley missed his huge frame bulldozing them.

Tim was having a hard time standing and his arm hurt like hell while Nightrunner's leg was slowly starting to numb.

"We need to get out of here!" Tim yelled to the others, there was no way they could take Bane like this. Talon ran to the two. "We can't just run!"

Tim took out a grappling hook from his belt. "Think of it as a tactical retreat." He tried to pull the trigger but was stopped as Bane charged at them again. Nightrunner stuck close to Tim, limping as fast as he could.

There was only one way to stop Bane. Tim said they needed to cut his venom supply. That might be easier said than done.

Nightrunner pulled Tim behind some crates. Meanwhile Bane had turned his attention to Talon. She was the only one who wasn't hurt, and so for the time being she was a good distraction.

"Tim I need you to stay here."

He heard a pop and a gasp of pain from where the former boy wonder kneeled. He then saw Tim turning his shoulder in a windmill like motion. "No way."

Tim stood up and pulled out his Grappling gun again.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Nightrunner smiled under his mask and tightened the cloth around his leg "Hell yes."

Tim shot his grappling hook over into an above rafter and swung into Bane he went to grab the tube but was grabbed himself at his midsection. Tim screamed in pain as Bane squeezed him like an orange breaking through his body armor.

"Red Robin!" Talon yelled seeing a dark figure in the shadows limping behind bane.

I get it…

Realizing the plan Talon fired her own grappling hook at Bane wrapping around his neck she retracted the cable so that she was pulled toward him.

Talon slammed her fist into Bane's head feeling a few bones break as she did.

"Stupid Child!" Bane screamed as he grabbed Talon the same way he did Tim.

Bane sneered not noticing the same figure creeping behind him.

"You are nothing! I am Bane!" the figure still creeped up getting closer revealing himself to be Nightrunner (A/N: Shocker) he pulled out a batarang.

"I am the man who broke the bat! And I will break you." He began to squeeze harder and the two screamed just then Nightrunner summoned as much strength from his legs as he could and jumped onto Bane's back.

He slashed at the tube giving Bane his venom supply cutting a huge slit in it. "Not on My watch." He said as he slid to the ground and allowed his injured leg to take a break and collapsed.

Nightrunner watched as the venom poured out of the tube and Bane's muscles shrank. Tim and Talon fell onto the ground with a thump followed by Bane dropping to his knees. "No! No!" he cried out "Bane cannot be stopped by children!" Talon got up to her feet and grabbed her now retracted Grappling hook.

"Well guess what…" she panted and pointed it at Bane's head. "You just did, bitch." She squeezed the trigger firing the hook into Bane's face. Bane fell backwards, blood flying out of his nose where the hook crashed.

Talon's legs quivered and soon she fell backwards just like Bane did slipping into unconsciousness.

Sasha woke up and felt a searing pain in her abdomen. She looked around and saw that she was in her and Nightrunner's headquarters.

Bilal was asleep next to her sitting in a wheelchair a book resting on his chest.

Tim came in, he was in a wheel chair too but also had his arm in a sling. He had definitely taken the worst of Bane's attack.

"Hey look who's awake. Morning, sleeping beauty." He smiled to her as she painfully sat up.

Sasha smiled even though her entire upper body felt like it had been hit by a bus. "How long have I been out?" she asked weakly. Tim took a look at his watch and thought for a few minutes "About twenty six hours." He said casually "at least that's how long it's been since I woke up." Sasha went wide eyed. She had never been out for that long after a fight.

This was the reality of being a crime fighter.

"How did we- -

"Bilal was able to carry us to the bikes and use the autopilot."

Sasha looked at the sleeping free runner next to her. How he was able to do that was beyond her. "Well at least Bane is in custody." She smiled to herself.

Tim's expression fell and a gruff voice came from the doorway he came from "Bane escaped custody a few hours ago." And outstepped the Dark Knight Sasha couldn't believe it. She was actually in the same room, breathing the same air as Batman. Tim quickly explained to her that Bilal was able to call send a distress to Batman before passing out. Miraculously he arrived by Bat-plane and was able to treat them.

That was one Hell of a miracle. She thought.

Then it hit her "What do you mean Bane escaped?" she was sure she knocked him out. The caped crusader looked at her "we're not sure yet, he was on his way to prison the lights in the car went out and that's all we know." Batman growled. He wasn't mad at her just mad that someone like Bane was still free.

"There's more bad news." Tim said adjusting his sling. What could possibly go wrong now?

"The venom slappers in the crates at the warehouse…" he started "Yeah?" Tim paused he didn't know how to really say it to a newbie that just got put through the ringer.

"They disappeared shortly after Bane did." He muttered but Sasha heard it clear as crystal and jumped off her examining table like a shot "What?" she shouted waking up Bilal

She then sat back down as she felt her legs wobble.

"Grab the flagpole!" Nightrunner said apparently being waken up from a free run dream. "Oh… Sasha how are you feeling?" he snapped out of his haze and turned all his attention onto the pretty girl on the table.

Sasha smiled warmly and, straining, she put her hand on his face lightly "I'm fine Bilal, rest." And that's what he did, with tired eyes he fell back asleep. Even though Tim didn't know what he was so sleepy for, he was the one that got put through a wall.

However Sasha just continued to smile but it soon fell "What about Bane's accomplice?" she asked the Dark Knight and his former sidekick "we found some files in in the warehouse before the slappers disappeared." Batman began "after reviewing them I found out that Bane was working for one of John Dagget's subsidiaries here in France."

"Dagget…blast from the past."

"we're going to have to go after him you know." Sasha said trying to get up, Batman merely made her sit back down "we'll do that later. You kids have earned a break."

Sasha protested at first but lay back down, she was finally starting to feel weak and her eyes start to close. She saw batman start to leave out of the corner of her eye and before drifting off heard his gruff voice say to Tim.

"She is going to fit in well."

She went to sleep with a smile on her face. Realizing just how lucky she was that she was the one who saved Tim that one night in the alley.
