AN: ... hi... uhm... yeah... Fruityloops and I are really really sorry for the long wait but Fruityloops is in her senior year of high school and in the middle of exams so she doesn't get much time to write anymore. So just a warning: don't expect an update soon after this. The story WILL be finished just not soon.

Thank you to those of you who have followed, faved and reviewed! we really appreciate it!

In the end the stealth team decided to stick to being stealthy. So they sent Miss Martian to sneak up on the two guards at each entrance and knock them out while in camouflage mode.

All the while Robin waited impatiently for her to return. Joker had been approaching Batman with a crowbar when Batman had cut the mental link, they needed to get in there NOW.

Robin took a deep breath and tried to mentally prepare himself. Whatever they were going to walk into in that room would not be pretty, and he needed to stay focused and not pull a Superboy when he got in there and saw whatever the Joker was doing. 'Yeah, that'll be easy, piece of cake. Just don't listen to your emotions. Tune them out like Batman does... not that Batman seems to do that when Robin's the one getting hurt... crap.'

Robin's inner monologue was cut off by Miss M's return. He acknowledged her arrival with a nod. He held up his one hand and used his fingers to count down from 3... 2... 1.

'Don't feel, don't feel, don't feel, don't -'

Of course they entered the dungeon just as the crowbar collided into Batman's ribs with a sickening crack that echoed throughout the whole room. That sound, too similar to the sound his parents' bodies had made when they died coupled with the cry of pain that tore out of Batman's throat, caused Robin's brain to switch off. And his vision to go blood red.

Screw not pulling a Superboy, these people-mainly the joker- had crossed the line.

Charging off towards the Joker so quickly the others had no time to stop him.

"Robin no!" Leo tried but ended up growling instead as he took off after him, katanas in his hands and the others close behind them getting ready to fight

The Joker was laughing his head off at the fact that he actually got Batman to make a noise of pain, which served to anger Robin even more. He let out a savage growl, sounding almost exactly like his mentor, and tackled the Joker as he lifted his arm to deliver another blow to Batman's abdomen. Robin crashed into him before he could land the next blow. The Joker wasn't expecting this and so they both went rolling across the ground.

Robin quickly jumped back onto his feet, glaring at the stunned Joker on the floor.

"Boy blunder!" He said quickly gaining his composure by standing up and dusting himself off.

"Glad you could join us, daddy bats and i were just about to-" he was cut off with a round house kick to the stomach by robin. He dropped to his knees clutching his stomach.

"That one is gonna hurt in the morning."

"You'd better believe it will!" Robin snarled in reply.

Joker tsked, "Now, now, now, didn't daddy teach you some manners? It's not very nice to kick your elders."

Robin rolled his eyes, "See the worry in my eye."

Miss M's eyes glowed green as she threw joker against the wall and Artemis shot an arrow that opened up a net and pinned it against the Joker.

Robin didn't spare him a second glance as he turned and ran towards Batman. He used his lock-picks to release Batman from his bonds.

"Are you okay?" Robin asked in concern as Batman landed slightly unsteadily on his feet.

"Fine." Batman answered.

To anyone else it would have sounded like he really wad fine but Robin could hear the well hidden pain in his voice.

The others moved to help release the rest of the team. Eventually all of them had regained consciousness.

"Oh man this is worse than my worse ever hangover." Green Arrow said holding his head, the others groaning in agreement.

"Wow!" Flash yelped, "Uh giant lizzards..." he pointed to Leo and Donnie

"Seriously? Lizzards? According to Mikey you are supposed to be a scientist yet you refer to us as lizzards. Do you see a tail on me genius?" Donnie snapped.

"Donnie, the man's been drugged. Cut him some slack." Leo admonished.

"Right, sorry." Donny grumbled

Miss Martian and Aqualad had just joined them with their still unconscious mentors when a panicked voice suddenly filled their minds.

'LEO!'

"Who was that?" Superman asked getting to his feet a bit shakily.

"It's my brother Michaelangelo." Leo said going a shade of green lighter. He knew something was wrong by the tone of his brothers desperate voice, "We need to get to them now."

"Go." Batman said, "The Joker was the only one of the Injustice League that stayed behind after the alarms went off."

Robin shot him a look and nodded before standing up.

'Mikey, we're coming.' Leo said over the mind link, 'What's going on?'

'Leo it's bad bro, we're getting our shells kicked, and Shredders elite guard just joined the Injustice League!'

'Ok we are on our way.' Leo answered.

'And Leo, Raph...he, you just need to hurr-AH!'

'Mikey?! Mikey hold on we're coming!' Leo and the others ran faster toward the others.

Kid Flash's voice suddenly made itself known in the form of a cuss.

'KF!' Robin said, 'What's going on? Are Mikey and Raph alright?'

'Dude, no.' KF's voice sounded tersely, 'This Shredder dude -'

His voice suddenly cut off

'KF? Kid Flash! Wally?!' Robin called.

There was no answer.

'Aqualad? Are you there?' Robin asked.

'Robin,' Miss Martian said, 'I can't feel them. None of them are in the link anymore.'

"What does that mean?" Donnie asked out loud

"It means their minds are no longer functioning..." Miss Martian answered grimly.
