Cocopops1995's request for Mia to get kidnapped and for Robin to save her. (Hope you like it!)
Damian is 16 in this chapter.
Chapter 87: Of Kittens and Cobras
Damian's POV
I knocked on the door of the Queen's hotel room and smiled as Mia answered the door. I took notice of her red tank top and jeans. I kissed her cheek before stepping inside.
"You look beautiful."
She blushed as she looked up at me. "Thank you, Damian. You clean up pretty nice yourself."
"Thank you. Are you ready?" I asked as she nodded.
We started to head for the door of her hotel room, when Queen blocked our path.
"Just a minute, Damian. There are a few rules-"
"Dad, it's just dinner and a movie. It's not like it'll take too long." Mia stated as she pushed past him and started to drag me from their hotel room. "Love you, bye!"
"You'd better be back by ten!" he shouted as she rolled her eyes.
"Sorry." She muttered.
"It's fine… My father is much stricter. Although, I am surprised he allowed you to accompany me tonight."
"Well, it's not every day he goes to Gotham for a business trip." She responded as we entered the parking lot. "You drive a Lambo?"
"It's what I wanted… Father did buy Grayson the Aston Martin he wanted, Todd received the Hummer of his choice and Drake chose the Jaguar he wanted, so naturally I had a hard time choosing between the Lamborghini and the Bugatti."
"Roy wound up with a Jeep and Artemis got a Mercedes."
"What do you want?" I asked, helping her in.
"I don't know yet… Where are we going?"
"Anywhere your heart desires, my queen." I replied as she blushed.
"Okay, just as long as it's not too fancy."

"Did you enjoy the movie?" I asked as we exited the theater.
"It was okay, but a movie about talking kitties isn't really my thing." She replied as I frowned.
A movie with speaking cats is always wonderful! What is her problem?
"Well, do you know what you want to eat?" I asked as she shrugged.
"Hmm… How about-" She began before three men appeared and blocked the way to my car.
"Nice ride." The one in front stated.
I took notice of the fact that all three men had a tattoo of a cobra on their left upper biceps. Most likely we're dealing with a street gang.
"What do you want?" I hissed.
"Damian!"
I turned sharply to find a thug threatening to break Mia's neck. Before I could move, something collided into my skull sending me into darkness.
********Break********
I groaned as my head started to clear. Opening my eyes, I found myself lying on a filthy floor. Where the Hell am I? to my surprise, I found my arms to be tied behind my back. What the-
"Mmphh!"
Pushing myself onto my knees, I looked to find Mia bound to a chair beside me. Her mouth had been taped shut.
"Mia!"
"Looks like lover boy's awake."
I snarled as the asshole appeared beside my girlfriend. The bastard reached out and cupped her chin.
"Don't touch her!" I threatened as he laughed.
"She's very pretty and feisty. She put up a fight after you were knocked out… It'd be a shame if something happened and she wasn't so pretty anymore." He threatened, bringing a knife to her throat.
"Stop!" I yelled as I was hauled to my feet by one of his ruffians.
"Listen up, lover boy. You got three hours to bring me five million or your pretty little bitch over there ain't gonna be so pretty anymore."
"You hurt her and I shall end your life!" I growled.
"If you as so much as call the police or the Batman or don't come up with the money, I'll kill her all nice and slow like. You won't even recognize her when I'm done… Got it?" He threatened as I clenched my teeth.
"I understand." I hissed.
"Good. In three hours you are to bring the money to the location that you wake up at."
Wake up at?
I gasped as I was struck from behind. Mia's worried expression was the last thing I saw before passing out.
********Break********
I groaned as I pushed myself into a sitting position. Damn Father's money! I checked my watch to find that I had a little over two hours left. Wait, I'm in the same location that we were attacked in! But, I have no idea where those bastards are holding my beloved. Unfortunately, I'll need help.
The Batcave is too far away. Father is meeting with Queen to discuss business and if I tell him, Queen will find out and he will kill me. Grayson is in Bludhaven. Drake is with the Titans. Todd is… no one really knows where he is.
Damn. Now I have to call Drake. I dialed his number and growled when the clone answered.
"Put Drake on the phone!"
"He's on a mission right now with Bart. Do you want me to get him to call you back?"
"Never mind! I'll do it myself!" I yelled before handing up.
It's Friday night so Grayson's on patrol or having sex. I sighed as I dialed Todd's number. Unlocking my car, I climbed inside and pulled my spare Robin uniform out.
"What!" his deep voice growled over the line.
"Todd, I am need of information regarding-"
"You need my help?" he asked.
"No! Well, somewhat-"
"Then you have to say it."
"No. I do not have time-"
"Then I'm not helping you."
Clenching my teeth, I hissed, "You are the best big brother in the entire world and you are my favorite brother. You are way cooler and smarter than Grayson is. And I love you the most."
"Aww Mini Bat. That wasn't so hard was it?"
I growled in response.
"Whatcha want?" he inquired.
"I need information on someone."
"Who?"
"Male. Age around mid to late forties. Around six foot. Bald. Three missing front teeth. Tattoo of a cobra on left upper bicep. Was with six other men. All with matching tattoos. Possibly a street gang."
"Hmm… I think you're dealing with the Cobras. Used to be a biker gang before they started knocking off banks. But, most of them got caught and they switched to a kidnapping business."
"Kidnapping business?" I inquired.
"Yeah. Last time I heard something about them, they were grabbing kids mostly."
"Did they harm their victims?"
"About half the time, once the family paid the ransom for their loved one, they normally killed their victim, cut out their tongues, or sometimes they actually let them go… They were really inactive for a while… Damian, is something going on?" he asked.
"None of your concern! I can handle it myself!"
"No need for you to get snappy about it." he muttered as I rolled my eyes.
"Do you have a location?"
"Downtown Gotham. Ophiophobia road."
********Break********
Leaping onto the roof, I planted a bomb on the electricity box before moving to hang over the side of the roof before lowering myself onto a ledge with a window. Quietly unlocking the window, I slipped inside.
Silently moving down the hallways of the rundown home, I checked every room for Mia. Damn, where is she? I froze as I heard voices.
"You're very pretty, my dear." A husky voice growled as I inched closer to the door.
"It's Robin! The Batbrat's here!" a voice screamed as I whirled around to find an asshole with a gun behind me.
I could hear footsteps rapidly approaching as I tossed a smoke pellet and blew the power. I quickly switched to night optics. One by one all of the Cobras went down. Soon, everyone had broken bones and dislocated shoulders.
Kicking the door open, I froze as I found the bastard with a knife to Mia's throat. His arm was wrapped around her waist, keeping her body against his.
"Put your hands up!" the asshole ordered as my eyes narrowed beneath my mask.
Slipping a Birdarang into my hand, I aimed for the hand the knife was in. He screamed as the weapon impacted his hand causing him to drop the knife and release Mia. As soon as she was out of the way, I flew at him, sword in my hand.
I stopped as he lay on the floor breathing heavily. I yanked him to his feet and slammed him into the wall, my sword at his throat.
"Who are you?" he whispered.
"Robin. Son of Batman." I hissed as he shuddered. "If I find out that you have kidnapped anyone else, threatened anyone, or even broken a single law, I will find you and end your life. Am I clear?"
"Yes!" he screamed before I slammed my fist into his head, knocking him out.
Dropping the bastard, I turned to Mia and gently peeled the tape off of her lips.
"Are you hurt?" I asked as I untied her.
"I'm fine… But, I had everything under control." She replied.
"So were just luring them into a false sense of security while they had you tied up and gagged?"
"All part of the plan." She smirked as I helped her up and led her over to the window.
Opening the window, I stepped onto the ledge and held my hand out to her. She took my hand and stepped out beside me.
"Hold onto me tightly."
"You didn't need to tell me that." She replied, wrapping her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arm around her waist and reached for my grapple gun.
********Break********
"Damian, I had a good time tonight." She whispered as we stood outside of her hotel room door. "Well, except for you forcing me to watch that cat movie and getting kidnapped…"
"Yeah, I didn't plan on that happening." I awkwardly replied.
"At least I have you to save me." she replied, moving closer.
"I'll always be there for you, my queen." I replied, taking a step forward.
Before I could kiss her, the door opened as Queen pulled her inside. She rolled her eyes as he turned to me.
"Well, you got her home in time. Did you two have a good time?" he asked as we swapped glances.
"Yes." We both replied as he turned to her.
"Bed time, Mia… Are those rope burns on your hands?" he asked before slowly turning towards me. "What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Little. Girl?" he hissed.
