They made their way towards Cadmus which luckily for them was located in the same city as the Hall of Justice, in Washington DC. They saw the smoke of the fire, several scientists were trapped in the building when they arrived. An explosion shook the building and in seconds the scientists were plummeting to the ground. The firefighters yelled out in despair as they couldn't do anything to save them.
For Kid Flash everything happened in slow motion, he saw the explosion and the scientists pushed out of the window, he started to run towards the scientists grabbing their coats and running them up the side of the building leaving them onto the roof. He lost momentum and started to fall to the ground, in desperation he scrambled to grab hold of anything. He grabbed hold of the window which the scientists were pushed out of.
Robin saw the explosion and Kid Flash running off.
"Does he always have to run ahead" Kaldur started.
However, Robin didn't pay attention as he saw KF hanging of from the window ledge. He snuck away as Kaldur was saying they needed a plan and let out his signature cackle whilst releasing his grappling gun, it hooked onto the firefighter's ladder and he swung into the window.
"Hey KF having fun hanging out?" Robin cackled.
"Haha Rob can you help me up?" KF whined.
Robin pulled KF into the building and they snuck into one of the offices to find a computer, Robin started to hack when Aqualad came in.
"Thank you for the help" Aqualad muttered sarcastically.
"You had it handled" Robin points out.
Aqualad felt uneasy, something at the back of his mind was telling him something was in the corridor. Carefully opening the door silently he stepped into the corridor ready to fight, there was nothing there. 'I must be imagining things' he thought. Suddenly, the nagging voice in his head told him to turn the corner into the corridor. As he did he saw a strange creature in the elevator as it shut heading downwards.
Robin and Kid Flash ran into the corridor as they heard the elevator close and head downwards. "This is wrong" Robin started "This doesn't belong in a two story building"
"Neither did what I saw" Kaldur says.
Robin pulled up the schematics of the elevator on his hologlove, it was a high speed express elevator, one that was capable of travelling up to 136 floors quickly. It most certainly did not belong in a two story building robin thought.
Robin explained the capability of the elevator to KF whilst Aqualad used his enhanced strength to open the doors. As Kaldur looked down he felt dizzy, there was definitely not two stories in this building. In fact, there was a large hole downwards showing that there was a hidden facility underneath Cadmus.
"Now we know why they need an express elevator" Robin joked. He fired his grappling line at the top of the elevator shaft and jumped, reading all of the levels as he descended he got to level 25 before he ran out of line.
"I've reached the end of my line" he states bewildered. He swung and jumped onto the small platform next to the door. When Kid Flash and Aqualad joined him he slumped to a sitting posture and began hacking the systems. The elevator below them began moving rapidly towards them.
Aqualad wrenched open the doors and they dived through them to avoid being squished by the elevator. They looked around and KF ran ahead which resulted him in nearly being trampled by these strange creatures.
Robin noticed these smaller creatures sitting on top of the larger ones, all of a sudden its horns began to glow and he felt something attempting to alter his mind. He placed up his mental barriers just like his parents had taught him to and fended of the mental attack. However, KF and Aqualad weren't so lucky. Robin noticed they had gone into a daze of sorts and Aqualad dozily mumbled "Nothing going on here. We should leave".
"No guys. Wake up" Robin shouted at the teens, just to have them stumble towards the elevator. Robin had to think quickly, what could snap them out of the trance….. A shock….. Shock…. A Taser! He though excitedly, Batman always made sure he had a Taser on him. He aimed it at Aqualad first and fired. The result was almost instantaneous as soon as he felt the electricity he woke up. Next he aimed at KF and fired. A high pitched wail shriek was heard and Robin couldn't help but laugh.
"W-what happened Rob" KF asked.
"You guys got brain blasted and were in a trance. So not asterous by the way" Robin stated.
Aqualad and KF shared a look at the word asterous.
"That was quick thinking, thank you for saving us Robin" Aqualad praises him.
The three boys continue to explore the facility and walk into a large room filled with a different type of the creatures. They were thousands of them, each individual was in a sort of glass containment pod generating electricity.
"This must be how they hide their activities. The real Cadmus is off the grid, generating its own electricity with these things" KF states.
"Genomorphs" Robin explains "genetically engineered by Cadmus. Woah look at the stats on these things. Enhanced strength; enhanced speed; enhanced agility and telepathy. These things are living weapons"
The three exchange worried glances, why was Cadmus creating weapons and the most important question… who were they creating weapons for?
"Halt" the three swirled around towards the voice, to be met with a strange sight … Guardian, a hero, was surrounded by Genomorphs. "Kid Flash Robin Aqualad?"
"I know you, your Guardian a hero" Aqualad states.
"Yes and your trespassing on private property"
"What are you doing here? You are breeding weapons" Robin yells.
"Weapons?" Guardian looked confused, the genomorph on his shoulder horns started to glow. He clutched his head in pain before straightening and ordering the genomorphs "bring 'em down hard"
All the genomorphs lunged towards the trio, "scatter" robin yelled as he threw down a smoke bomb. They all fought off the genomorphs and ran towards the elevator. Robin pressed the elevator button heading down, they all ran into the lift as the doors started to close. It began to descend towards floor 52.
"Why are we heading down Rob, exits up" KF yelled
"When I was hacking I came across a heavily encrypted file. I couldn't hack fast enough so I only got the name of the project, Project Kr and guess what floor it's on? The bottom one" Rob explained
"We should call the league I believe we have gotten too deep" Aqualad worries.
The elevator pings and the door opens revealing an eerie tunnel made out of what seems to be organic tissue.
"We're already here, might as well take a look around" Robin grins at him. They are spotted by some genomorphs who alert a scientist. She raises an alarm and the genomorphs charge at them. The trio begin running down a corridor. After some time they come up to a split in the tunnel, Aqualad feels something nagging at the back of his mind again it seems to be pushing him towards the right tunnel. The genomorphs caught up with them whilst they were debating which way to turn.
"Turn down the right tunnel, go!"
They charge down the tunnel and end up in front of a large, enhanced door. Robin opens the door and they rush inside to avoid being caught. He quickly locks the door preventing anyone from hacking it to gain entry.
Robins POV
I locked the door and hear KF gasp "Guys… you might want to take a look at this" he presses some buttons on a control panel and a large pod lights up. It wasn't the pod that surprised me, it was the young boy inside. He looked around 15 possibly 16 and was almost a perfect copy of Uncle Clark when he was that age.
"Robin hack" Kaldur ordered me.
I plug my hologlove into the panel and discover that he was Project Kr aka Superboy. Cloned from DNA acquired from Superman "stolen from superman" Kaldur interrupted. He was grown in 16 weeks!
I thought to myself Dads not going to be happy with another supe running around especially when Uncle Clark isn't all that great with handling kids. I know from experience… let's just say dad has never let him babysit me again…
I listened to Kaldur and Wally argue about releasing him, "what if he attacks"… "We can't just leave him here". It was like this back and forth for a while until I spoke up.
"We should contact the league and free him. That way if he turns on us we have back upon its way" I compromise.
They both nod in agreement and KF looks at me like I grew an extra head.
"Dude how can you be so wise you 10!" he wines
"11! I am 11" I snap back at him.
Aqualad tries his communicator but there is no signal we are literally in too deep. I think of trying to contact mum by asking a god but I can't do that with the others around. After several more long minutes we decide to release Superboy.
When I press the release button and the clone starts to come to, I realise something is wrong when he clenches his fists. His eyes snap open, they were a crystal blue like Clarks but were unfocused. He launched himself at Kaldur. Wally and I are quick to restrain him preventing him from pummelling Kaldur's face, however, he uses his super strength to break our grip… I am so not whelmed that I can't use my powers in front of the others… Superboy punches Wally and sends him flying into a glass pillar successfully knocking him unconscious.
I grab a smoke pellet and try to gas him to get off of Kaldur. Unfortunately for me it worked. He was soon flying at me, I tried to dodge and protect myself without showing my powers but he overcame me and pinned me to the ground. His foot pressed down on my ribcage preventing me from breathing and I eventually blacked out from lack of oxygen.
I came too to a loud banging noise and saw Superboy knock Kaldur unconscious, I shakily get up and move myself into a fighting position. Still dizzy from the lack of oxygen I was dimly aware of Superboy attacking me. He threw a punch which I stopped using my strength as Wally and Kaldur were both unconscious. The clone looked at me in surprise but grabbed my wrist and punched me again into unconsciousness.
I woke up from unconsciousness again… second time today I think angrily to myself. I look around and notice that I am tied up by my wrists and ankles in some sort of pod with Superboy standing guard over us.
Wally and Kaldur had also awoken and were in a similar situation to me, I use a tool built into my gloves to try and pick the locks on my wrists.
Wally was having an argument with the clone, I sigh and intervene "Wally how about we not p off the guy who can fry us with a look". He pales and realises what Superboy could do to him and swallows loudly.
These locks are seriously hard to pick, this is very unusual I think to myself. Meanwhile Wally and Kaldur are trying to convince Superboy to join us and help us to escape. Ii have to admit they are being very persuasive, they ask him about the sun and the stars but he says images have been implanted in his mind.
"Woah dude, you've never seen the sun, been outside? We can take you outside to see them in person" I contribute. He looks deep in thought when the scientist comes back with guardian and with whom I presume is the guy in charge.
"Hello sidekicks" Great I think to myself, another villain monologue "I presume you are wondering what we are doing here at Project Camus, but that should not concern you know, what you should be concerned about is what I am about to do to you"
I share a quick look at Wally and Kaldur. "Who are you?" I question "I am Dr Desmond, head scientist and coordinator at Cadmus" he looks at us three then seems to realise that Superboy was still in the room.
"Go back to your pod" he orders Superboy.
Superboy grew a look of annoyance and frustration "DON'T give me orders" he growled.
Dr Desmond seemed to sigh and the genomorph on his shoulder leaped onto Superboys shoulder and its horns started to glow. Superboys angered expression morphed into a blank emotionless one and he began to walk down the corridor but not before Desmond had the last word "don't start thinking for yourself now"
He turned back to us and smiled apologetically "sorry about that interruption, now where is Dublex" A tall genomorph emerged from the shadows startling Desmond. "Really Dublex lurking in the shadows as usual"
Aqualad looked startled and whispered "that's the creature I saw in the lift"
I wonder what he was doing up there when from all the Intel I've gathered genomorphs aren't allowed above ground. My thoughts were interrupted by Desmond ordering him to start the cloning procedure. Cloning? Desmond walks out and the Dublex genomorph creature gives us a look of sympathy before pressing several buttons activating the procedure. He looks at us one last time and leaves the room.
An intense pain surges through me whilst they extract DNA from me, will they be able to find out who my mum is from looking at my DNA. I hear Kaldur whispering to Superboy but I'm too busy trying to bear the pain whilst trying to unpick the locks. The scientist continues to look over the cloning procedure, she doesn't have any reaction to our screams nor does she look at us, which is lucky for me with me trying to pick the locks an' all.
Superboy suddenly rips open the door which shorts out the cloning device, now that I can think more clearly I finish unpicking the lock and free my hand, repeating the process on the other three shackles. The scientist looks at Superboy in alarm and quickly presses an alert button. "Great" I mutter sarcastically "because escape is going to be so much easier now, not that it was going to be hard before alerting security".
I quickly tie her up and leave her in the cloning room "We will have you back in pods soon" she yells after us.
"You are not whelmed, not whelmed at all" I yell back, whilst throwing three birdarangs at the DNA holders, blowing the pods up. Woah that must have looked so cool I think bristling with pride.
We run towards the elevator and Aqualad opens the doors, I fire my grappling hook and grab Wally who hangs on for dear life, while Superboy grabs Aqualad and flies upwards. After he's passed several stories Superboy begins to lose momentum and starts to fall. I quickly grab my ekrisma stick and throw it into the wall Aqualad grabs hold of it and they dangle there. Wally glances at me sideways, he knows that I don't have any gadgets capable of that I wonder *wink wink* what I am going to tell him.
I hack the elevator and open the door whilst disabling the security cameras, I look at the schematics of the building I pulled up and direct the group towards the nearest staircase.
"Finally, I've got room to move" Wally yelled excitedly, he sped off up the stairs whilst we ran as fast as we could up them. We reached sub level one and was about to exit but some heavily enforced doors closed sealing us from the outside world….
3rdPerson POV
Unknown Location, time 'the sidekicks had freed themselves'.
The Light, a mysterious organisation of villains working together to take over the world had summoned him.
"We have a problem and are willing to pay you for your services" one of the mysterious screens said.
"I'm listening" he mused…
"We have had a break in at one of our facilities and we do not believe that the situation is handled and would like you to go and deal with it any way possible" a different screen said.
"It's a deal"
Cadmus facility, present time
The four boys faced off against Guardian, Dublex and an army of genomorphs, the genomorphs horns began to glow and Robin prepared himself for the mental attack. KF and Aqualad suddenly became drowsy, this being the second time they found some sort of way to prevent a full mental assault. Superboy collapsed to his knees, the same time KF and Aqualad did. Robin stood his ground, pleased that he could hold off for so long, all the training with Uncle J'onn had paid off. Dublex looked surprised at his will and proceeded to have a mental conversation with Superboy Robin assumed from Superboys expressions.
The genomorphs horns stopped glowing and stopped their mental assault releasing Guardian in the process. "F-feels like… fog lifting".
Doctor Desmond stormed in to see Guardian be released, "You are fools, you shall all bow down to me because of Project Blockbuster" he pulled out a fluorescent blue vial and drunk it. His face immediately contorted into pain and he whimpered. All of a sudden he began to grow, bones cracking and his skin thickened turning a greyish blue colour. He became a monster!
The genomorphs scattered and Guardian charged at him, which was disastrous as it only infuriated Desmond and caused him to throw Guardian against a wall knocking him unconscious. Desmond looked around and spotted Superboy, he growled and charged viciously attacking Superboy. It seemed that Desmond had super-strength as he easily tossed Superboy through the ceiling to the ground floor.
"Well we found our exit" KF mused. He grabbed hold of Robin and they grappled through the hole in the ceiling out of the way of Desmond. Aqualad followed them through the hole and barely had seconds to move before Superboy was thrown towards him. Superboy was losing control as his anger was overwhelming him, he launched himself clumsily at Desmond who, whilst in his current state, was still able to think about fighting. Desmond grabbed Superboy and flung him into one of the pillars, the roof shook and debris crumbled onto the ground narrowly missing Robin and KF.
Robin gasped "Robin you okay" KF asked worriedly. "Yeah KF I've just had an idea, here's what you need to do" Robin explained how they need to do damage to the pillars to cause a structural compromise and the roof will collapse on Desmond, he then explained to Kaldur. Robin calculated where Desmond needed to stand and drew a cross. KF and Superboy got Desmond to destroy some support beams whilst Kaldur soaked the floor and KF was chased by Desmond and Aqualad charged the water paralysing Desmond. Robin threw birdarangs at the remaining pillars and blew them up causing the roof to cave in. Unfortunately their plan had worked too well and the whole roof began to cave in, Aqualad and Superboy grabbed Robin and KF and protected them from the falling rubble.
The building collapsed, a large tsunami of dust spread outwards and there was a deathly silence that fell over the site. A minute later, some rocks falling and scrambling was heard and the four heroes emerged, not unscathed but alive. Aqualad and Superboy went to assess the damage and to call the league, a glint of a sniper scope and a loud shot rang out. Robin barely had time to register that he had just blocked a bullet. KF gawked at him and Robin looked at the surroundings trying to figure out where the shot had come from. Aqualad and Superboy sprinted over to them in panic, "What just happened we heard gunfire" Aqualad yelled.
"Someone just attempted to assassinate me but missed" Robin glared at KF to disagree with him, but he was still in shock.
"Kid, is this true, are you okay" Aqualad questions.
"Y-yeah it came from over there" he said whilst pointing towards some tall buildings in the distance.
They all looked towards the source of the bullet, squinting from the moon behind the building. They saw a shape flying over the moon and Robin squinted at it until he recognised the silhouette of Superman with his cape billowing behind him.
"Boy do we keep our promises or what?!" KF yelled "First the moon then Superman"
Robin glanced around at the horizon and noticed other figures approaching. The entire League had turned up! Oh man they were so doomed.
Batman addressed them and said that they disobeyed direct orders, endangered lives but in total they did well. The others chocked with surprise, but Robin smiled. He glanced a look at his mum and she looked ready to pounce on him and check him for injuries.
The league decided that they should be dealt with by league accordingly, the others left leaving Robin with his parents.
"Something else is bothering you Robin, what is it?" Batman asked.
"Well, Aqualad didn't quite tell you the whole story, after we emerged from the rubble a sniper tried to assassinate me but I blocked it with my bracelets. However, KF saw me block the bullet and use my strength, sorry dad it was to save Superboy and Aqualad, but I think KF has figured it out" Robin explains and yawns afterwards.
"That's okay Robin, are you hurt, did they look after you? Wait… did you say sniper?!" WW worried.
"I'm fine mum and they looked after me and yeah" he laughed nervously.
"I'm sure your father will allow you to tell Kid Flash about me and Batman will investigate the sniper"
"Asterous! Thanks Mum!" Robin yelled excitedly. He ran off towards the Batmobile, Batman and WW watched him go with amused expressions.
"Batman, who would try to assassinate him?"
"I don't know Wonder Woman but I will investigate, no one hurts our son and gets away with it"
3rdPerson POV on a skyscraper in Washington DC
"-no one hurts our son and gets away with it"
'Hmmmm interesting, Wonder Woman and Batman have a son, who is very skilled it seems. This means Tempest and Robin are the same person'
Earlier
He couldn't believe he had been hired to deal with a problem at Cadmus, he had hacked the security cameras and saw the break in was three sidekicks. He watched as they bypassed security and made their way through the base. In all honesty, Robin impressed him, without him the others would not have gotten as far as they have. He watched as they freed Superman's clone! Robin could have gotten out of the pod faster with the right training. Where had that thought come from?
He watched as Desmond drank a weird serum and transformed into a creature of some sorts, he readied his sniper but was anticipating how the sidekicks would do against the monster.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling and the building caved in. Well his services won't be needed any more, but just to be sure he kept watch. Against all odds he watched the Atlantian and Kryptonian push the rubble away revealing Kid Flash and Robin however they were only injured, he felt relieved for some strange reason.
Aqualad and the clone left the two injured sidekicks on the ground, he felt that even though Kid Flash was injured he would still be able to move out of the way of the bullet but he wouldn't be able to move another person, for example Robin, out of the way.
He aimed down the scope and watched Robin, he pulled the trigger back slowly and fired, the bullet was right on path, he watched it head towards his victim. All of a sudden, Robin moved his hand up and blocked the bullet, he caught a glimpse of silver. How was that possible? Robin to his knowledge didn't have any bullet proofing material for the size of bullet he used and how did he know where the bullet was heading. He watched as the other two kids came back and the league turned up. He watched them all leave, leaving Robin, Batman and Wonder Woman?
He listens in to their conversation using his gadgets-
"-no one hurts our son and gets away with it"
'Hmmmm interesting, so Wonder Woman and Batman have a son, who is very skilled it seems. This means Tempest and Robin are the same person'
He gets an epiphany, Robin would make the perfect apprentice, one to carry on his legacy. He is very mouldable at his young age, the best and possibly only candidate suitable for the position.
"Slade" a voice hissed in his ear "Batman is on the move, get out of there"
He chuckled, good old Wintergreen to put him on track. He packed up and began to leave.
"Soon Robin soon"
The next day, Mount Justice
Robin and KF arrived early to discuss what KF saw yesterday.
"KF I haven't been honest with you, you already know Batman is my father, but I told you that I didn't know my mother"
"Wait what … you lied to me? You know your mum? Who is she?" KF yelled
"My mum is… Wonder Woman"
"WHAT?! That means your Tempest"
"Yep" He replied smugly "But no one else can know"
"Sure thing Rob"
Aqualad and Superboy walked in and found Robin and KF playing video games on a large screen in a lounging area. "Team report to the mission room"
They all made their way to the mission room where Batman, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Flash and Red Tornado were waiting for them.
"Team we were impressed with your abilities to handle situations, so we have decided to start a covert operations team, the five of you will only be going on covert missions assigned by myself"
"Awesome B … wait 5?" Robin asked confused.
"This is Martian Manhunters Niece" he introduced as Martian Manhunter and a young Martian came into view.
"Hi I'm Miss Martian but you can call me M'gann" she said excitedly.
"I'm Aqualad, or Kaldur to which you prefer. Pleased to meet you"
"Superboy" he grunted a greeting.
"Kid Flash but you can call me Wally, beautiful" KF flirted
"Robin" he saluted in acknowledgement.
Batman stepped forward and everyone turned their attention to him. "We have decided to assign Black Canary to train you, Wonder Woman and Red Tornado have volunteered to be your Den Mothers and I will deploy you on missions"
Wonder Woman stepped up "I will also assist Black Canary in training you"
Robin groaned, this was going to be so weird with his mum babysitting his team and training them as well. He knew how tough she was when it came to training, they were in for a hard time.
Time skip a few missions
The team had just come back from defeating Professor Ivo and is Amazing Amazo, Robin had had a close shave nearly revealing his powers to the team. They had all come back tired and collapsed in the cave going to sleep. The next day they had training, Black Canary was off on a mission in Star City so Wonder Woman had taken over training.
"Right Team, after your warm up I will split you into pairs and you will spar with each other"
The team do several laps around the training area in the Cave and start stretching.
"Kaldur and Superboy you two will pair up; Wally and M'gann you two will also pair up"
"Who will Robin go with Wonder Woman" Aqualad asked.
"Robin will spar with me as I have trained him before" She explains "Kaldur, Superboy you're up"
Superboy and Kaldur step up onto the mats and the computer starts the match, Superboy relied on his brute force and tried to overpower Kaldur. Kaldur easily counted by dodging and blocking his hits, Kaldur saw an opening when Superboy threw a clumsy punch. Kaldur grabbed his wrist and placed his other hand further up on his arm, he used the momentum of Superboy to propel him over his back and slammed Superboy onto the ground. "Superboy Fail" the computer announced. Kaldur offered his hand to Superboy and helped him up.
Wally and M'gann were up next they stepped up and the match started. M'gann immediately flew up into the air away from the reach of Wally. Wally spun his arms creating a whirlwind heading straight for M'gann, she dodged and used her telekinesis to throw Wally down to the ground. "Kid Flash Fail" The match was significantly shorter than the other match, and Kid Flash's quick defeat caused Robin to laugh.
"You think that is funny Robin, care to show your teammates how you fare against me?" Wonder Woman challenged him. He gulped, his mum was a lot better than him, but he has been training with his Dad to help him fight her.
"Sure, let's go"
He stepped onto the mat and got into a fighting position, he looked at his mum analysing her fighting stance looking for weaknesses which obviously he found none. He left an opening to try and lure her in, she took the bait and lunged towards him. She threw a punch but he countered by leaping into a handstand with one hand on WW shoulder and the other on the wrist she was using to punch him. He pushed off causing her to stagger slightly, when he landed behind her he ducked and immediately swept into a roundhouse kick. WW anticipated this and flew up into the air, she used her lasso to try and bind Robin but he jumped out of the way at the last minute, throwing down a smoke bomb engulfing the arena giving Robin the advantage. WW strained her hearing listening out for the slightest movement, she hears a slight scuffle to her left. Turning towards the sound she threw a blind kick, it missed. Suddenly, a heavy weight slammed into her sending her to the ground. She got up quickly to see a shadow leap at her, she grabbed the foot and slammed it into the ground. "Robin fail"
She chuckled as he groaned, "Did you have to slam me to the ground that hard Mo… Wonder Woman" he caught himself and mentally scolded himself from the slip.
The team was staring at him with awe, Robin shifted embarrassed by all of the attention. "Wow dude that was amazing!" KF yelled. WW chuckled at her sons embarrassment "Right team 10 laps around the arena, no super speed Wally" That earned a loud aww from Wally.
"Robin report to the Batcave, there has been an Arkum breakout and I need your assistance" Batman's voice boomed through the cave.
Robin mentally cheered at getting out of training "Well guys, gotta go Gotham need me, stay traught" and he skipped towards the zeta beam after waving goodbye to his team and mum.
"Robin, I have a proposition for you" Batman started "Reviewing the footage of your battle against Amazo, I see that it is sometime difficult for you to repress your powers son. So me and your mother have had a talk and have decided to allow you to go to the team as Tempest for a temporary period of time, as there has indeed been an Arkum breakout but I am able to handle it while you are Tempest"
"Seriously Dad" Robin yelled "Thank you so much, this is going to be so much fun! When do I go to the team?"
Batman pulled off his cowl and chuckled at his son "tomorrow Dick, up for a movie before patrolling?"
"YES" Dick cheered.
The Bat and Bird cuddled up onto the sofa (they totally have a TV and sofa in the Batcave) and chose Robin Hood to watch. Halfway through the film Bruce heard some light snoring and looked down at his son, patrolling can wait he is having some father and son time.
The next morning WW walked into the Batcave to find them both sprawled out across the sofa, she smiled and took a photo of them before yelling "Wake up Dick you've got your 'first' meeting with the team today"
Startled both Dick and Bruce leapt up and fell on the floor, Dick realised what day it was and rushed to get ready after yelling a quick hi to his mum. Diana and Bruce watched Dick run off "Have you found anything about that sniper yet" Diana asked.
"No Princess but I believe that they targeted Dick because he was supposedly the easiest one to kill. I would assume that it was a hired hitman but something doesn't seem to add up, how did they know the kids were at the facility and why didn't they try again? They had another opportunity to attempt to kill another sidekick but they didn't. Why? Is there something going on, it might explain the feelings Dick has on patrol sometimes, that he's being watched but whenever I scan the areas and check the security cameras there's nothing there. I feel as if we are dealing with some very powerful forces here"
"I will keep an eye on him Bruce at the mountain I promise you" Diana says.
"I'm ready" Dick yells out running towards his parents, he is dressed up in his Tempest outfit and is practically bouncing off of everything in excitement.
"Calm down Dick" Bruce laughed at his sons antics "You remember the rules"
"Yep, don't reveal my secret I.D., don't let anyone know I'm Robin and be safe"
"Come on Tempest lets go" WW says.
"Hey Mum, Dad wouldn't the Zeta beam recognise me as Robin?" Tempest asks nervously.
"In your suit son there is a special transmitter that sends information to the computer to recognise you as Tempest" Batman explains.
"Awesome" Tempest yells and runs towards the zeta beam.
