The Batman and Robin stared at each other, almost as if they were trying to drink in each other, like each was trying to read the other behind their mask, neither succeeding. Finally Gordon broke the silence. "Batman, should I call some of my men?" He asked quietly, as if Robin couldn't hear him. Robin tensed at this, he was on his first mission for the Joker, he couldn't fail again, he'd done that enough lately.
"No…just get out of here." The Batman's voice sent shivers down Robin's spine, Robin feared this man…who didn't. The Batman's eyes pierced through him compelled him to stare back at all costs. But no matter how dangerous this caped crusader was, he was still a man and so was Gordon, only Gordon wasn't supposed to last the night.
"Don't move Gordon, I have business with you." Robin growled. Batman's eyes narrowed at Robin but Robin kept up his mean demeanor. Gordon stopped; Robin could almost see the sweat that dripped from his brow, Robin grasping his sword, his body posed to attack, who wouldn't be afraid.
"Make a move on Gordon and I'll be forced to take action on you Robin, I don't attack children." The Batman stated, holding no threat in his voice, only total confidence. Robin's eyes narrowed to slits.
"I am not a child." He hissed through bared teeth. Gordon took his chance at escape, but before his hand even the door knob a small dagger flew through the air and embedded itself in the door. "I said don't move!" Gordon gulped, looking to Batman for support. Batman stepped towards Robin, Robin instinctively took a step back. Batman didn't pull out any weapon, he only stood there in front of his eyes, yet Robin could no longer move.
"Let Gordon go Robin, I need to speak to you alone." Batman said after a moment. Robin let out a small snort of disbelief.
"Yeah right." Robin then ran at Gordon, he wanted to end it now so he could get as far away from his man as humanly possible, Gordon fumbled with the door, Robin raised his sword, inches away from his target a boot connected with Robin side, knocking him off course and flying into the Bat light, his sword flew out of his hands, stabbing the floor mere centimeters away from it's target, Batman picked up Robin's prized sword and turned it over in his fingers. Then as if it was cheap plastic he stabbed it to the ground so hard its iron shattered and shards of Japanese steel flew in all directions. A look from the Batman sent the Police chief running down the stairway and out of sight. Robin went to climb to his feet, still in disbelief that his sword had been destroyed.
"Don't move Robin, or you might be next, but I don't want to hurt you."
"Yeah?" Robin growled standing. "Because I wanna hurt you!" Robin ran at Batman, not pulling out any weapon, he jumped and threw out his leg; Batman merely caught it in his hands and spun the teen around, letting go to send him flying into the door Gordon used as his exit.
Robin, still angry jumped up and ran again, but this time Batman side stepped, as Robin ran past him he grabbed his arms, twisted them behind his back. Robin yelled out in protest but the Batman kept him there, Robin's breathing was now all that could be heard, heavy gasps of pain mixed with anger, the distant sound of traffic echoing around them, Robin struggled to get free but the caped crusader was too strong for him and he finally relaxed. The Batman let go and Robin turned backing away.
"What the hell do you want?" Robin snarled rubbing his wrists.
"Robin, I have so much to say, yet I feel you don't have enough time, I've been keeping an eye on you since you came to Gotham, Robin, I've been keeping an eye on you since we first met."
"Some how I think I'd remember if I met someone who wore a cape and bat ears." Robin sneered smirking; he was slowly growing annoyed by this man's cool and easiness. Yet amusement reached the mans' eyes, even though his lips didn't move.
"Robin, we've met before, in fact I was there on that night, that terrible night of your parents murder, and since then I've worked to find out who did it and why."
"I already know who did it, and I killed him, so I don't need to hear anything about that night you hear!" Robin snarled his hands curling to fists. He remembered the man's face as it concerted into pain as his sword was dug deep into his chest, how he voice echoed throughout that faithful night, how that night Richard, not Robin had his revenge on Zucco, the con-artist who killed his parents.
"Yes, Zucco had the ropes cut, this you know, and this you had revenge for but Robin, Zucco was a simple man, and he had many debts, he came to Haley's circus, yes for some money, to trick Mr. Haley, but Robin, what if I were to tell you Zucco was ordered to do what he did."
"Then I'd say you needed help." Robin spat.
"No Robin, tonight I'm going to help you, what if I were to tell you that on that night where your life changed forever, where your parents died-"
"Shut up!"
"Yes Robin your parents died that night and Slade came and took you away when you could've been taken away by a wealthy man you wanted the best for you because he knew there was more going on than met the eye, your parents weren't murdered by Zucco-"
"Yes they were!"
"No Robin! They were killed by Slade! Slade ordered Zucco to kill your parents so he could get you! He's lied to you all these years; you've been killing for the man who killed your parents!"
"SHUT UP!" Robin Roared, he then ran at Batman at such a speed that his punch landed dead on the mans face, he hit the mask upwards, in such a powerful punch it lifted the man off of his feet, so his mask flew off of his face, and then it wasn't Batman who landed on the floor, it was the man who could've shown him a good life, it man who made him smile even when his parents died, some how some way Bruce Wayne was the man rubbing a sore nose.
Robin's eyes were wide, he backed up, hitting the building, he grasped the wall for all it was worth, Bruce Wayne picked up his mask and gently put it back on his face, he was Batman again but that didn't change what he'd just told Robin, tears fell from behind the mask, he tried to wipe them away but more came, he was upset, angry, confused and surprised. He tore his mask from his face and threw it to the ground.
"You're lying." Richard, not Robin stated. "Slade took me in, he found me, he trained me, he gave me work, why would he kill my parents?"
"Because, he wanted to 'find' you, he wanted to train you as his apprentice and he wanted you to do his dirty work, think what you might, but what I say is the truth."
"It doesn't matter anyway, I'm never going back to Slade, I failed, and I know all too well the punishment, even if I used to be the one issuing it."
"You will meet Slade again and very soon, you may not realize Richard, but you did the thinkable, you and the titan did the unthinkable, and now, Slade wants revenge, one to make you suffer and two, to punish the titan for taking away his apprentice."
Robin stared at the masked man, the legend, his own mask in place, the shards of his sword lay around him, the shards of his life blowing around him in the wind, never to be seen by him again, everything had changed now, he wasn't a mindless killer anymore, he was human and all humans had weaknesses, it was life.
"I need to get to Jump." Robin said frowning. "To make sure no one else dies because of me."
"Good Robin, right your wrongs, it won't change your past, but maybe afterwards you could pay back society, you'll be welcome in Gotham."
"Thank you." Robin said, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. Robin went to the ledge of the building.
"Oh and Robin, in the ally way below, I have a gift for you." Robin turned as a gust of wind blew around him, as he raised an eyebrow to the roof, he realized, the dark knight had already left.
He free fell to the ground, making sure no one was around he turned and a real smile appeared on his lips, there were two things before him. One was an amazing red bike, its wheels covered in the same material as the rest of the bike, a yellow R on the front. He ran his hands over the smooth metal until his fingers brushed something soft. He picked up a red package, ripping away the paper he found a tunic of blazing red, a black cape with yellow lining, green bottoms and sleeves along with gloves, he examined the outfit with a amazement, finally rubbing his fingers over the black and yellow R insignia. He smiled.
It was time to become Robin. It was time…to become a hero.
