I've confused some people, so I decided to post super fast so no one is confused anymore. My story is not over yet, don't worry, I'm still going thanks to you guys!

"Make your parents proud he said," Robin whispered to himself," well now Bruce is disappointed and hurt by me, and my parents probably would have felt the same."

Robin sat there for a while, he had stopped crying but his eyes still felt puffy and his head began to hurt from resting it on the table so long. That's when he heard footsteps behind him, he almost jumped but instead made sure he had no tears left and lifted his head slowly.

"Robin?" it was a small girls voice, Zatanna.

"Hey," he cleared his throat avoiding any eye contact, "I thought you went off with the team?"

"I was going to," she shifted feet hesitantly, "but I wasn't really up to it."

"I can understand," he gave a quick grin remembering her father.

She approached him, "But how are you doing? I know wasn't really on the team when all of this happened, but the team has told me a little bit of what happened."

"Consider yourself spared," Robin smirked, "you were the only one who didn't have to take Batman's death glares for the past weeks."

She chuckled then looked down at his arms, ". . . They did that to you?"

Robin looked down, "That and other things. . . . I know, it's kind of 'whelming."

"I'm sorry," she replied, "and I just wanted to say that even though I'm not trained enough to come help during the mission with the Light, I believe in you and the League."

After a pause he admitted something, "Can I tell you something? But you must swear not to tell Batman or anyone."

"I swear."

Later that Night:

"Have any of you seen Robin lately?" Batman approached the team who all sat around the counter eating pizza.

"Sorry, Bats, haven't seen, but he's seriously missing out," Wally said in-between bites.

"He's been gone for hours, anything wrong?" Kaldur stood up.

Batman opened his mouth but Zatanna ran into the room, she was panting and there was alarm spilled across her face with her mouth wide open like a fish.

"Batman!" she exclaimed. "It's Robin."

"What about Robin? Have you seen him?"

"A couple hours ago," she caught her breath, "I was trying to find you, but you were gone with the League and I thought we had more time. God, if something happens. . . ." She looked near to tears.

"Slow down, relax, now what happened?"

"I was talking to Robin a couple hours ago," she swallowed deeply, "and he told me a secret that I promised not to tell anyone, but as guilty as I feel I have to tell someone. You know how he is supposed to absorb the electricity from the machine the Light has? . . . . Well, there's a strong chance it can kill him. He said the chances of him living or not going into a coma are slim, it's too powerful."

"We need to find him, where is he?"

"He's not here!" she exclaimed frantically. "I looked everywhere, I think he went to save the machine himself."

"He wouldn't go without us, he's not naive, he knows he can't take them down alone," Batman shook his head in disbelief.

"He said he wasn't going to take them down," she continued, "he said they couldn't been completely gotten rid of, there were things that we would never know about, too many of them. He said they even too powerful for the League, and that he needed to go alone. Sneak in and take the electricity with the help of Cheshire and Red Arrow."

"Not again," Batman snarled, panic jolting threw him rapidly and making his fists clench into a death grip. Batman quickly contacted the League who said they were on their way, and Batman returned his attention to the holographic computer in the other room.

"What are you going to do?" Kaldur asked.

"Track down his utility belt," he replied stoically, and then he paused, standing there like he had just been killed and his corpse wasn't ready to except it yet.

"What is it?" M'gann asked.

"He left his utility belt here, it's in his room," he gulped.

M'gann gasped in fear, the rest of them froze.

Once the League arrived they began collaborating, Batman searching frantically, but the Light could have been anywhere and all for he knew Robin could be dead by now. Then Batman remembered a man he came across while searching for Robin.

"I need to go quickly," Batman ran out of the room.

"Wait, where are you going!" Wonder Woman ran after him with Black Canary trailing after her.

Ten Minutes Later:

"You break into my work area and practically drag me into this alley. . . ." the man said, "wait, you're . . . oh not again! I told you I don't know where the Shadows are man!"

Batman slammed him into the same wall he had slammed him into before, it was the delivery boy.

"New request, where is the Light?"

"Batman, what are you doing?" Wonder Woman demanded in bewilderment. "He's seems to be innocent, let him go."

"Look, I told you before and I'll tell you again, this was a long time ago!"

"Well, you better start remembering bub!"

"Okay, okay, who was it again?"

"The Light! Ever heard of them?"

". . . The light, hm, actually they sound familiar," he pondered, "I remember I was too deliver something to this place not too far from the outskirts of Happy Harbor, deep in the woods actually. They didn't tell me much, I didn't know where I was, but I remember over hearing some guy saying somethin about a Light or Lights or whatever."

"Quick we need to know exactly how to get there!"

Twelve Minutes Later:

The Bat-mobile swerved up not too far from a building that seemed to be mostly underground, but part of it was above ground. The guy told them how he dropped the stuff off in a back area, through a large garage door, Batman knew if that's where he was dropping stuff off no one would be in there. It had to be a storage area.

Once they found the garage door they found a smaller door covered in metal next to it, so Wonder Woman used her strength and tore it off its hinges and threw it in the dirt. And there was the electricity machine, what used to be pulsing of bright yellow energy was now almost completely grey, and there was Robin. Cringing and yelling out as he was absorbing the rest of the energy, pain released obviously across his face.

"We're too late," Batman said under his breath as he ran to Robin, "ROBIN! NO!"

"It's too late, he's almost done now," Red Arrow stepped out from nowhere.

"Where is the Light, how come you guys haven't been attacked?" Black Canary demanded.

"Oh, they're trying to get to us," Cheshire popped out next in a cat-like motion, "Robin turned on the complete security lock down, they're trapped in the underground portion of this place. I've also rigged the building with gas, so if it worked they should be out cold, the Light isn't hard to take down, they just are hard to get rid of. They keep coming back you know."

The electricity made the boy look zombie-like, his eyes were glowing with yellow light, and his arms trembled chaotically as the electricity continued shooting into the technology. Batman put his arms around Robin, but electricity shot off Robin like a generator and electrocuted Batman, pushing him away.

"Robin, you must stop, you've done enough," he begged, "I can't lose you! We just got you back. Think of your friends, the League, your life . . . me. You're thirteen years old you don't have to sacrifice your life for this!"

"Robin, please listen to him!" Wonder Woman exclaimed over the loud noise of whipping and crackling electricity.

"You have so much life to live, don't do this!" Black Canary pleaded.

Robin painfully broke his trance for slight moments, "I . . . have . . . to!"

Then suddenly the electricity stopped coming from the machine as it was completely absorbed into Robin's arms, yelling out in vicious agony, Robin's eyes snapped shut and he hit the floor.

More coming up soon! Hope you liked it, and sorry if it seems rushed! Please review!
