There is a reason why the bad guys always loose. They're stupid. It's as simple as that. They spend millions on gear and technology to carry out robberies that only get them a few thousand just to show they are smarter than everyone else. They think if they keep fighting heroes sooner or later they will win.

One win out of a hundred failures. And they'll view it as a victory.

They're stupid.

Take these guys. Fitted out in high tech triple weave kevlar, top of the range weapons and flying a billion dollar stealth helicopter... All to rob a museum on it's opening night when Wonder Woman is in attendance.

Stupid, stupid bad guys.

Stupid bad guys with guns.

It's never a good thing.

There is a reason why Robin named Wonder Girl as Young Justice Spokesperson. She's smart, articulate and mature. Most people know this. But what they don't know, and this does include Wonder Girl, is that when Robin named her YJ spokesperson he also made her his second in command. His Lieutenant as it where.

There is a part of him that saw them in the JLA as the leaders.

Without even looking at each other they moved into action. Wonder Girl goes to Wonder Woman's side in battle and Tim heads off to help people evacuate.

They lay down covering fire at the crowd distracting Wonder Woman. It's a good plan until she starts deflecting bullets at them. Tim doesn't know what sickens him more, the disregard they have for life shooting at innocent people or their screams for lawyers when they get hurt.

"Hostages! Now!" Screamed one of the crooks.

Tim knew where this was going as he helped an elderly woman to her feet. He could see his Dad trying to get to him.

"Dad, get out of here, now. I'll meet you outside."

Cassie made her way through two bad guys as she tried to get some double doors open for people to get out. As one of the crooks tried to shoot at her from behind he was hit by a large table by Wonder Woman. She seemed a bit concerned that Cassie had left herself open to attack. What she didn't know is that Cassie was concentrating on getting people out and leaving the bad guys for Wonder Woman. It was the same tactic Batman and Robin used. Tim was quite proud she was getting her priorities right and not grandstanding like a certain kid of steel would have. Tim smiled to himself as he kicked a gun man between the legs. It was all he could think of and he hoped no one would question how he knew an obscure martial arts kick that allowed him to cripple a man wearing armour plated padding.

As the screams became fewer he could tell the could guys where winning.

As he passed the elderly woman over to a guard to get out he saw his stepmother at the end of the room, she was trapped and injured. To make matters worse a gunman was aiming straight at her to use as a distraction to get away.

Three of Earths greatest heroes in one room and not one was as close as he was to save her.

Without even thinking he started moving and all that went through his mind was the one rule Batman taught him that he always wanted Steph to understand.

"One day you're going to have to take a bullet to save someone and your body armour isn't going to be enough."

Right now, Tim didn't even have that.

To be continued...
