This is my first ever fan fic I have posted. I welcome all reviews good and bad. I just ask, Please no flaming.

I do not own any having to do with Batman or DC.

I originally wrote this story when I was in 8th grade. I have picked it back up again many years later and feel there is a good short story to be told.

I wrote this story as if it were a 30 minute episode in TV. That's why I consider it a short story. I posted the first 3 chapters all on one posting because well they are just too darn short.

I must warn you there is nothing mature in nature about this story. It doesn't even go very much in dept on the characters. Its just a good action/adventure story of Batman & Robin. So I hope you all enjoy

CHAPTER ONE - Bad News

One early morning Bruce Wayne sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast. Alfred walked into the room.

"The morning paper sir"

"Thanks Alfred, just set it on the table."

Alfred's tone became a bit more urgent. "Master Wayne I think you should take a look."

The door flung open. It was Dick, he walked over to the table and joinedhis mentorfor breakfast. Bruce picked up the paper.

"O'God that mad man has escaped again."

"Which mad man are you referring to this time Bruce. We've put away so many." Dick asked as he munched down a spoon full of captain crunch berries.

"The Joker! He has escaped from Arkam. No doubt he will show his face soon enough. Listen Dick when you are done school I want you get back hear ASAP! I need you to check out all the Joker's usual haunts. If you find anything contact me immediately."

"What are you going to do Bruce?"

"I am going to see Commissioner Gordon. He is going to want to hear what I have in mind to find that lunatic."

"Right Bruce."

"Master Dick it is ten of eight. Your class start's in ten minutes, does it not?"

"Also right Al, thanks for reminding me" Dick grabbed his back pack and ran out the door.

"Alfred get the batmobile ready and call Penny, have her cancel all of Bruce Wayne's appointments."

"Right away sir."

Chapter Two -BadNews

"Ms. Fenway, when Batman arrives send him straight in" Commissioner Gordon sat in his office chair with his head down and hands over his face. Realizing that having the Joker on the loose was never a good thing.

"No need commissioner."

"I hate when you do that. Can't you walk in like a regular person. Oh nevermind." The Dark Knight quietly entered the office window. "Batman, I am sure you have all ready heard the news. The Joker is out!"

"Yes, I am aware. I am currently working on all leads to his whereabouts and any possible targets he may have in mind. Its not going to be easy since he has only been on the streets for one night."

The Commissioner and Batman continued discussing the escape of the Joker, when suddenly a woman appeared at the window of the Commissioners office. Which normally would not have been so strange, but his office was on the fifth floor. Glass shattered into the office, the smoke began to clear and it was now plainly obvious who the woman was.

"Harley!"

"I missed you too Battsy. Mr. J sent me to let you now that Gordo's daughter is in good hands. And unless he gets ten million dollars, Gordo's daughter gets it."

"What have you done with Barbara?" Gordon demanded as he started to approach the window.

"Oh don't worry comish, she's just fine. Mr. J is personally seeing to it. Oh and Battsy if we find ya snooping around trying to stop this, we'll have to put a hurten on Gordo's daughter."

Harley did a back flip off the ledge into the get away van parked on the street below, but not before releasing two drummer boy toys into the office. Commissioner Gordon stopped in his tracks, Batman jumped in front of the Commissioner and shielded him from the exploding toys.

Chapter Three - Where Batman cannot.

"Batman what are we to do. That crazy man has Barbara. If he finds you anywhere near him, he'll..--"

" Don't worry Commissioner I will not let anything like that happen. I will just have to think of something.

"Batman, should we pay him?"

"Commissioner Gordon you know we cannot do that. I realize we are talking about Barbara, but--"

"You're right Batman, I know we cannot do that. Any ideas on what to do now?"

"I have to stop him commissioner. He is going to kill her even if I do sit this one out"

"No Batman I can't risk it. Look I would trust you with my life but we are talking about Barbara. My only daughter. I can't loose her Batman"

"I understand"

"So now what do we do.……Batman?"The commissioner looked aroundhis office with no one it in but him."Not again. I really hate when he does that."

Batman was all ready speeding back in the batmobile back to the batcave. Batman had a plan, but he had to wait for Dick.

Dick arrived home from school and darted for batcave., changed into Robin and met Batman in the com center of the batcave.

"Glad you are hear Robin. We have a problem."

"You mean other than the Joker being freed from Arkam"

"That's just it Robin, he has all ready began his mayhem. He has Commissioner Gordon daughter."

"Who Barbara?"

"Yes and as I remember correctly you knew her more than just as Commissioner Gordon's daughter."

"Well Yea, we use to date. That was months ago. And it was technically two dates. I don't think she liked me disappearing in the middle of dinner each time. Just wasn't going to work, you know?"

I know what you mean all too well. For right now though you are going to have to put personal feelings aside. You need to save her."

"Don't you mean we have to save her Batman?"

"No Robin you heard me correctly, YOU have to save her. The Joker has Commissioner Gordon convinced that if I interfere, he will kill Barbara. And well the commissioner ask me to seek alternatives. You Robin are the alternative. Don't look so shocked. You are ready to go solo."

" Wow, you think so? I mean is this some kind of test? This all seems too serious. I mean there is a lot at steak here."

"Look I wouldn't suggest this if I didn't believe you couldn't do it. Listen Robin you have to tell me if you are up to this task?"

"Of course Batman, I am .

More to come soon!
