Robin's P.O.V.
I was having a fun time messing with my best friend Kid Flash in the Mountain. Static reaches my ears as I picked on the poor speedster from Conner watching static.
"Rob, I am not that late to events." Wally complained stomping his foot like a child.
"Shut it Baywatch, Robin is right remember when we first met."
"I was in school and I was happy I could spend quality time at the beach with my best friends."
"But...you didn't" I added smirking.
"Hey be quiet down there!"
"There was really good food M'gann made and Kaldur controlling water was the best too bad you missed it….wait was that a height joke you just said?"
"You think short stuff?"
"I would rather be short since it is better for acrobats."
"Yeah, well being tall is good for running faster cause my legs are longer."
"Does it even work like that Baywatch your uncle is faster than you." Artemis joined the teasing as Wally looked like he was going to yell. Seeing how they were arguing like an old married couple I decided to leave the room. Passing the kitchen with the smell of burnt chocolate cookies while M'gann sighs in disappointment. Kaldur left to the training room with his water bearers in hand.
"Woah, the calm leader has issues." I mutter to myself as the sound of water crackling with electricity reaches my ears with each slice to the poor dummy. I push the door open sneaking in with no sound at all like Bats taught me. Reaching up to the rafters peering at my leader and friend. I decide Aqualad may need someone to talk to being he seems to be the type to keep it all in than explode alone. I drop to the ground with a smirk as my shadow is in front of me.
"Hey, leader what's up?" I question appearing right beside me as he jumps a bit, but keeps it hidden, not bad.
"Would you announce yourself before you jump out!" He says frustrated until he calms his demeanor looking deeply guilty.
"I am sorry my friend I just seem to be having….issues."
"What about?" I ask turning to look at his pale green eyes full of sadness.
"Trouble with someone."
"Who?"
"I should not make you deal with my burden Robin."
"It is not a burden Kal, plus that is what friends do." I say with a bright cheery face hoping to lift his spirits which seems to work a bit as his mouth twitches up.
"I feel love for Tula, yet Raquel seems to be a great girl too, and Garth my friend in Atlantis is already dating Tula."
"Love triangle aye Kal."
"What?"
"Nothing, well if you are already seem to like Rocket being she's free why don't you try to date her she seems nice, but...it is your decision not mine."
"I will think about it thanks Robin."
"No problem Kal." I say a bit sad as I remember something I totally forgot about.
"Is something troubling you Robin?"
"Me psh, no way I was just thinking about Bats hard training later."
"If you say so." He says not really believing it.
Flashes of my younger twin brother comes to mind as I remember him telling me about some friends he made when we were traveling in Europe.
"Dick?"
"Yes, Danny?"
"I just made some friends here, but what about my other ones in the United States?"
"What about them?"
"How am I able to keep that many friends it does not seem like I will be able to." Danny's face was downcasted.
"Why you keep them both of course." I say grinning to him.
"How?"
"We travel all the time bro you will see them all again."
"Really, I do not think they will want to see me again after a couple years."
"You never know, and who did you meet?"
"There was this girl with purple eyes who was admiring the animals, although she did not like them cages I told her they like it here."
"What was her name?"
"Samantha."
"Was that in the United States or Europe?"
"The U.S.."
"I am sure you will see her again Danny."
"I hope so." He says with a smile as I can see some of his missing teeth."
"Come on last one to the trailer has to clean Zetka's cage!" I yell as we both go running only for my brother to trip on a stick.
My memory comes to a fade as I smile at my brothers luck. I sure do hope he is alright wherever he is. I wonder if he made more friends or even if he still meets up with Samantha being we were in the United States when our parents died. My smile ends as I remember that night and Danny vanishing the police thinks he ran away out of shock. Bruce searched the United States for him but it is like he never existed gone with no trace like a ghost. The room seems silent as I realize Kaldur left the training room. The air seems nice and warm wrapping around me as I get lost in thought until Kid runs over shaking me.
"Rob! Guess what we have a mission!" He shouts with happiness being we haven't had a mission in a week due to Batman being off world.
"Okay, geez calm down."
"It will be great I wonder if their will be robots or a new science discovery!"
"That would be asterous." I say smirking leaving the room to the debriefing room. I enter the room practically feeling the stares of my team and mentor.
"Where is Kid Glutton?" Artemis asks me.
"Don't know." I say shortly nodding at Bats telling him I am fine while his stare deepens. Kid Flash skids in the room waving sheepishly at Bruce.
"Sorry, I had to restock my granola bars for the mission. Saved by the glutton I think as the hard stare turns to the red head.
"Now that the team is here I can inform you on this mission."
"Will it be cool with action?" Kid asks only for Batman to ignore him and continues his speech.
"There is a facility located in Amity Park called the Guys in White a secret Government that the League has never heard of. From what I have gathered Amity Park was never on the map until recently about two months ago. The town is said to be filled with spirits that wreak havoc among the bystanders. We are not sure what they are testing, but we conclude it must be dangerous and against the law if the organization was just heard of by the League. You are to investigate the association which I am sending the coordinates to Robin's computer if anything goes wrong immediately call the League being we have no idea what you are going up against.
"I got the coordinates." I say telling Batman.
"Good."
"Wait, hold the phone, did you just say spirits as in ghosts?" Kid asked not believing a word.
"From what I have gathered that is correct."
"No way, it is probably for tourists." Kid argued for the sake of science.
"Tourists to a town that just appeared?" Artemis argued.
"Yeah, that must be for tourists too."
"Where is Rocket?" Kaldur asked politely.
"On a mission with Icon."
"Oh…" He said looking down as if the tile was more interesting at the moment.
"Come on guys we got his!" Zatanna said while M'gann looked happy, Conner crossed his arms and scowled, Arty was bickering with Kid, Kid still looked uptight, Kaldur was displeased with Raquel gone, and I was whelmed watching my families expressions summing their personalities up.
"Bioships is ready." M'gann informed us as we all piled in the living ship.
"Where to Robin?" She asked me sweetly.
"Amity Park Illinois, here are the coordinates." I say sending them to the Bioship.
"She received them thanks!" I smile in response as I get lost in thought staring at the sky. The bioship seems to be flying ever so graceful.
Like Danny and I, Sparrow and Robin forever.
The clouds seem to be perfect today puffy and white with the crystal blue sky acting like nothing bad can happen today. Too bad I can not see any birds from this height above the clouds with my friends. I really am happy I have them to help me with everything.
Wally, the friend who I share everything with including my ID.
Artemis, the big sister I never had protecting me and I her.
Kaldur, the one who is calm and I can always count on for strategies and advise.
Zatanna, the girl I may like who can lift moods with a warm smile.
M'gann, the happy alien with so much compassion and love.
Conner, the grumpy half kryptonian with a tough exterior but kind as can be interior.
Rocket even though she is not here, the person who I do not know much of but seems to have a fierce spirit with protection.
I am so lucky to have all these friends who will be here for me in a heartbeat. Every one of us would jump in front of a bullet for each other.
Danny had that personality when younger the act of protection for the weak despite the happy clumsy traits. I still think about what he is like today he would have been perfect for the team. I Bruce took him in too would we be fighting crime together as Batman, Robin, and Sparrow? It would be a whelming time if it was true.
After hours of possibilities and timelines of how different my life could have been if Danny was here.
"We have reached the destination with an Eta of one minute." M'gann informed us.
"When we get there we will stay together being we have no clue of what is to come." Kal ordered to all of us mainly looking at me and KF when he said stay together.
'Everyone in the mindlink?' M'gann asked in our minds.
'Sure thing Babe.' Wally thought while Arty smacked him.
'I am here!' Zatanna said.
'As am I my friend.' Kaldur informed.
'I am here and whelmed.' I say.
'Hm.' Is all Conner put to have his presence be known.
'Okay, we will enter through the roof.' Aqualad said as we reached the ground and some teammates turned to stealth.
'Uh, I do not know about that Idea Aqualad.' Kid said pointing up as we exited.
'What is that?' Arty asked.
'It is not magic whatever it is.' Zee said confused.
'Robin can you hack it?' My leader asked me.
'I can try.'
I get to work as I see a machine dispelling the green dome at the top of the building. It takes me a couple minutes before my hacking works as is flickers down.
'Good job Robin, and be sure to put it back up once we enter inside the radius.'
'Got it.' I say as I put it back up once we are all in.
'Zatanna can you levitate us all up?' He asks her.
'Sure can!'
"Etativel su lla pu." She chants as I can not help but think if this is how flying feels until we reach the rooftop.
'Remeber be silent.' Our leader commands glancing at Superboy.
We all dropped down into the draft building into a room where my scanners said no one was located.
'Robin where is the nearest vent?' Kal asked.
'Up to your right, it seems sturdy and big enough for us all.'
'Are you sure?' Arty asks thinking of Conner.
'Yes.'
'Let's go.'
I am the first to enter the vent as the familiar silver cool surface touches me as I climb through taking a right.
'Where are we headed?' Aqualad asked me.
'Room 235B, the elevator shaft is located there.'
'How many levels are there?' Wally asks.
'20 with around 11 rooms in each.'
'Are any floors labeled?' M'gann questioned as my blue hologram is pulled up in front of me reflecting on the silver walls.
'No, just numbered.'
'So, Guys in White huh do you think it is a rip of off Guys in Black?" Kid asks us all.
'Of course, moron.' Artemis rolls her eyes at least I think she is.
'Meanie.' Is Wally's poor retort.
'Really meanie, what are you two?'
'Guys, we need to focus.' Zatanna tells the two.
'How much further this is cramped.' Supey asks angry.
'We are there about….now.' I tell him as I drop below to the elevators as we all enter Conner closing the vent behind us. The elevator soon becomes pretty cramped with us all inside.
"What floor?" Zee whispers.
"What about one?" M'gann asks.
"No way, here is a basement floor labeled 19-5-3-18-5-20." Wally says.
"That is code!" I say surprised.
"Code? What does it say?" Artemis asks.
"Secret." I say.
"How do you know?" Wally demands.
"Batman." Is all I say leaving the space we are in quiet as Wally presses the button for the secret level as it flashes red.
"Moron! What did you do!" Arty yells looking really mad at the poor speedster. An alarm starts as the elevator flashes red with a pulsing rhythm of the classic alarm for intruders.
"Robin, hack now!" Kaldur says urgently as the noise continues as Supey looks as if he was about to punch something from the loud screech ringing in his enhanced ears.
I tap as fast as I can as we can hear guards approaching as they come in focus with strange weapons that seem to look like a kind of gun. Before they see us more clear I finally get through as the elevator moves with a bing. We pile out alert as we take in what is before us.
Cages, blood, weird green stuff that looks like Slimer's residue, and what is the most bone chilling is the odd creatures inside looking creepy while some seem to be disappearing and becoming see through.
Red eyes and green glancing up to us with despair some pupiless with green skin others with blue. But what really scares me is the living skeleton and the creature growling with foam rising in the mouth. We hurry across the hall as the eyes glow in the dark as does their skin like an aura.
I disable the elevator as we turn to see a metal door that Superboy opens only to see a boy around my age that looks straight out of a horror film.
Blood and green goo a terrible stench that smells rotten.
The boy staring at us with bright blue eyes like my own only dulled as he is chained up.
The glowing toxic cage that hurts my eyes to even look at. Superboy looks really mad now to see a kid be locked up thinking us his Cadmus days.
His eyes widen with fear as I wonder why he is scared of us until I turn around to see the agents with their guns up with fury.
"Freeze!" One yells as a bright blast as heat radiates off it only for Superboy to block it.
"What are you." He questions as his eyes narrow in the dark with the cage illuminating everything.
"Get them!" Is the middles order as the four agents come after us.
(Just to let you guys know the pairing votes are still active.)
