Robin/Renegade

I can not believe what just happened after waiting and hiding this long they now know. Master most likely already knows about this, but I may just try to lie to him and change his mind. I really do not care what the hell happens to me or the others however, Roy, Wally and all of them I can not take that chance. Sure, I will get a beaten, and I know the League will be after me. I keep running as the night sky blurs around me as I am so confused and aggravated about everything going on. My parents deaths are tomorrow and yet I feel like I failed them. I usually go to their graves but, I don't think master will let me and Bats will keep watch over their to see if I show. I have never missed talking to them on the day my life turned around.

I reach Master's hideout as the bright lights turn dark, birds stop to sing, and of course my mind numbs itself to deal with him. This is my fault I guess I do deserve what is going to happen. I walk in the cold and dark room as I see Master's mask start to gleam from the little light coming in from the moon.

"Hm, I see you failed at killing the enemy and you let yourself get captured by the League who now knows who you are." He growls narrowing his eye to a glare.

"I am sorry, Master." I say bowing my head as I think I can not lie about this being he must have tracked me some how.

"Sorry, Renegade is a sign of weakness there is no room for weak here, and I am still somewhat pleased by the fact you did not give away any information about me." He snarls yet his eye shows he is pleased.

"Expect a punishment for your actions and failure."

"Yes, Master."

"Oh, and Renegade just know you can not hide from me or lie to me without knowing." Oh god, how did he know he is worse than Batman.

"Renegade! What do you say?"

"Yes, Master."

"Good." He pulls out a dangerous looking dagger with sharp grooves on the side. He studies it for a moment turning it from time to time. I never seen the attack that came as he sliced through my arms a couple times before being done. My skin starts to hurt as the crimson blood starts to drop, but the pain gets worse as I realize he put an agent on the blade to make the pain grow worse.

"Clean your wounds Renegade before you bleed out."

"Yes, Master." Rahat, is that all I say anymore, Yes Master like a good little follower I am supposed to be. I walk off to the infirmary as I grab some gauzes, however Wintergreen seems to take them out of my hands.

"Punished again I see." He sighs while wrapping my arms after adding disinfectant.

"Yes, Sir."

"Again Richard, you do not have to call me Sir just refer me as William or Wintergreen will also do. I have been trying to get you to call me that since you got here."

"Yes...Wintergreen." I say unsurely deciding to give in to what he prefers being he is the only one that is almost always nice to me. He looks up in shock but soon changes to a warm smile.

"Finally, you are opening up a bit. You need someone to talk to Richard."

"I guess." I never talk this much so it is kind of weird to me. Master would punish me if I ever talked out of term or too much. He soon changed though and punished me less I seemed to respect him more when the neglect turned to appreciation at times.

"There you go, now only if I can get Slade to change a bit." He sighed once more.

"He is not that bad." I find myself saying without meaning to.

"Not that bad." He scoffs and continues. "He used to be a lot nicer before everything with the war but, I guess he could be a lot worse if he wanted to."

"He is nice I think he just has a hard time showing it. If only he could have met him before the family issues and the serum."

"...The serum?" I ask hesitant.

"Yes however, I can not tell you everything about that."

"Why?"
"The past is in the past Richard." I like Wintergreen more than Master, I think it cause he reminds me of Alfred. I wonder if Bruce's parents died and he got revenge by killing if he would've turned out like Master and Alfred following like Wintergreen.

"Well, you should go to see what Slade wants hopefully nothing...drastic."

"Thank you, Sir." I say leaving.

"Ah, you are back at it I see." He mumbles while fixing up the infirmary.

Walking down the hallway is somewhat relaxing as I enter the room Master is residing in.

"Renegade."

"Yes, Master?"

"I have a mission for you. It is just like the last one only you must kill the enemy and do not get caught. Do I make myself clear?"

"It will be done Master."

"Do not fail me again."

"I won't." I say while getting everything I need being the Justice League took my weapons. I leave the place separating myself further from Master and Wintergreen. I step out to feel the brisk wind hit me as the blanket of darkness covers everything only to recede from the light of the city below. I check my wrist computer as the orange hologram shows my location I need to be.

"Gotham harbor!?" I whisper shocked and a bit scared being I know Master it testing me while making me kill when Batman will be around to know I did it. I really do not care about the Batman my mission is given to me and I must complete it. I travel to my destination and a couple hours I come to the warehouse labeled number 38 complete with the bricks falling out. A memory comes to me as I remember fighting scarecrow here as the fear gas entered my system with Bruce coming at the last minute like he always did, I bet he comes faster for the new one maybe I should test that theory one day. I unsheath my dagger as I sneak into the warehouse seeing the Red Hood once again. I have no clue who he is, but he sure is annoying. I sneak up to him just right as I bring my dagger down which he dodges at the last second.

"Hey, Asskicker long time no see." He snarks.

"It will be the last too!" I say as we start fighting just like before.

"So, I hear you were a Robin too." He casually says which makes me stop a bit.

"Too?"

"Yeah, right after you 'died' Bats decided he needed a new sidekick to be a new target."

"I never hear of you! Stop telling lies!" I yell as I strike at him as the dagger impales in his shoulder.

"Man, here I thought I can have some small talk with someone who was replaced like me.

"Who replaced you?"

"Timothy Fake or whatever his last name was I just called him that cause he wasn't the real Robin either."

He lets his stance fall as he tells me he will tell me more if I stop fighting him. I slowly put down my dagger in confusion as I watch the blood droplets fall to the cement.

"You are Richard correct?"

"How do you know my name!"

"Calm your shit kid, I just need to make sure. After your fight I picked up some of your blood to test out. My surprise came to me as I realized you were The Richard Grayson. At first I was angry, but than I realized something big." He started to smile creepily.

"What?"

"We both hate the goddamn Batman and we were both Robins meaning we know everything."

"What happened to you?"

"Hm, I died by the fucking Joker just because that bastard did not save me in time. Than the nerve of him he covered me up and here came little Tim tim to take over with the demon kid trading places with him from time to time."

"Tim? The neighbor?"

"How the hell would I know. But, I realized we both hate the League, we hate being pushed around, and the golden part is both of us is thought to be dead by the league."

"They know I am alive."

"What the hell you ruined my plan kid oh well, that doesn't matter the real part is getting back at them."

"How did you come back?"

"Story for another day let's just say is was goddamn awful as being a sidekick to that fucking man."

"How should I trust you?'

"You can't although I am sure you hate being punished and pushed around. Luck for you, I have my own team called the Outlaws wanna join?"

"Join…." I get lost in thought wondering what to do leave the man who punishes me yet is the only person closest to me as a father or leave with this guy who claims he was a Robin.

"Yeah, you will get a fun weapon too."

"I don't know." I say wavering.

"Come on kid, there is a hot chick on the team and a fucking insane lady and to top it off it is led by the most badass person there is, me!" He says pointing at himself while smirking.

"You are the only guy with two other members?"

"What oh yeah, I forgot about the shitty archer named Arsenal who you knew as Red Arrow or something stupid as hell."

"Roy!" I perk up.

"Yeah, now are you in?"

"I guess…"

"No, are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Good let's go before the man with the black soul gets here."

"Thanks, Red Hood."

"Yeah do not thank me however, you need a new name being Renegade and Robin is in the shithole."

"I will think about it."

"Let's take you to your new team oh, and ignore the crazy if you can she can be a real murder spree that one."

"Murder?"

"Oh fuck, you better not stick to that no murder rule if you do you are out. However, we only kill villains not like the League who lets them murder innocents."

"Okay, I will agree."

"Time to leave, and we will figure out what to do with Slade perhaps we can kill him."

"Okay." I say a bit scared, least I will be with Roy though he is like my brother along with Wally. I hope Wally and the others can forgive me for this.

"Hurry up kid, we do not have all day."

"Alright coming." I hurriedly get up as I follow my new teammate who I feel like will be like my other brother soon enough. He acts like a mix of Conner's anger, Batman's tough act, and Wally's ego. Who knew someone could have a mix of all of those traits hopefully he will never find out I think he is somewhat like Bruce though.
