Well, I updated sooner than I thought. I don't know, I just wanted to give more to anyone who had gotten interested.

However, Robrae week snuck up on me, so don't expect any more updates this week.

So, in my last chapter's A/N, I was pretty cruel to my brain for critiquing my original idea, so I just want to give it a quick thank you right now. If it weren't for it, this fanfic would be crap.

Edit: changed the ending a little so that it would make more sense.

I also refuse to apologize for making Dick call Bruce 'Dad'. Fight me.

Robin's POV

I felt my stomach fill with dread as we pulled into the League's Stronghold.

Ok, considering how terrified I'd been during the ride that might be impossible, but it really didn't matter. I was probably gonna die.

The fact that Terra wouldn't stop rambling on about how awesome this was didn't help. And I was 90% sure that my misery was only adding to her excitement.

I just continued toning her out, and evaluating my current situation. I was about to walk into 'Alliance Day'. Apparently it was a convention for villains looking for allies. Plus there was a mountain of doughnuts, which from what I gathered was the main reason people came. Honestly I suspected that my master, Slade was a part of that group.

But that wasn't what I was worried about. I used to be a hero, and considering the city we were in, had likely assisted in many of their captures. And just because (as far as they were all concerned) I'd changed sides, didn't mean I wasn't likely to die. I was resting my hope that villains had enough dignity not to kill at these kinds of events. And I'd learned that resting my hope in villains' morals was not a good idea. Especially in Gotham's villains.

"Now before we go in" me and Terra turned towards our master "both of you -do not embarrass me in front of Talia Al Ghul. understood?"

"What, do you have a crush?" Terra asked with a little giggle.

"Shut up!" Slade told her while I thought about the irony of the situation. You see, Talia Al Ghul was the daughter of our host, Ra's Al Ghul, and -unbeknownst to Slade- my dad's on-off girlfriend. I'd never liked her because of her assassin background, but I would like to see her reject Slade. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad…

As I opened the car door I saw a parade of villains heading for the mansion, many of which I recognized. Nevermind, tonight is going to be horrible.

As we walked there I tried to stay close to Slade. Not too close that I appeared clingy, but just close enough to stay safe. Around us were stares and whispers. Probably about how stupid Slade was to bring me to this event. After all, even he could not stop an army of vengeful villains.

We stepped into the mansion and I couldn't help but stare at the scene in front of me. I'd been to the League's strongholds a couple times with my dad, and the place had always been a mix of creepy and awe-inspiring with its tall ceilings, gold walls, and stone floor. But none of that was what caught my eye today.

Throughout the room a fair amount of villains were conversing, but most appeared to have their sights set on the pile of doughnut that sat in the middle.

When Slade had talked about a doughnut mountain, I thought he just meant a large pile, not a humongous one. The pile stretched from a giant platter that was just set on the ground to the ceiling, which when you consider how high the stronghold's ceiling was… god how was this even possible?

"Now I'm going to talk to Talia. You kids better not make yourselves sick, understand?" we both nodded as he walked off. Well, there goes my only protection…

"Bye, I'm gonna go get some doughnuts. Hopefully I'll meet some people while I'm over there!" I mean, I knew she was going to do that, but still…

I quickly slid into the shadows. Maybe if I stayed far away from the doughnuts, just maybe I could survive the night.

I looked around the rest of the room. There was a (presumably open) bar to the right of the room. Opposite to it was a table with some juice, soda, and cups -which I assumed was for minors like me. The back wall was a giant window that overlooked Gotham and the mountains that the stronghold was located on.

As much as I just wanted to gawk at the view, the window appeared to tie with the bar on the second most popular attraction. It would probably be safer to just grab something to drink and hide in a corner -one that wasn't connected to the window, obviously.

I held my breath and went over to grab some apple juice. There wasn't much people there, but a few villains were exchanging business cards nearby.

"Hey, if it isn't the boy wonder himself!" I turned around to see a small crowd of villains. Penguin walked over towards me. I readied my hands towards my weapons, but didn't grab them. If they weren't going to attack me, I didn't want to start any fights.

"Welcome to the otherside, kid" Penguin told me. "We're all excited to welcome you. Mind giving me your autograph?"

I'm not entirely certain, but I'm pretty that my eyes barely managed to stay in my sockets right then.

So, this was originally just a two parter but this ended up being pretty long, so 'Alliance Day' will probably end up being three chapters long.

If all goes all planned Blackfire will come in at the end of the next chapter, for those wondering.
