I own nothing, yadda yadda... Make sure you read the AN at the end; there are some important questions that could help me get another chapter up tonight!
As it turned out, the villain was fairly easy to take down. He may have had super strength, but it was a new development, and it was clear he didn't have experience using it. Superboy was able to subdue him fairly easily, and then the team just had to handle clean-up.
This, of course, was easier said than done for a bunch of teenagers—when they had finally made sure that the injured were taken care of, most of the kids were grumbling.
"Where's the ambulance?" Wally complained.
Robin raised his eyebrow. "For something as small as this?" There had only been a few broken bones, after all, and the Gotham hospital didn't take much short of bullet wounds.
The others gave him odd looks at his comment. Robin ignored them; they just didn't understand Gotham like he did.
Kaldur elected to take charge. "Let's get back to the Zeta beam. The night's still young, and the League might still need us for something."
They headed back across the rooftops.

When the team returned to the tower, there was a surprise waiting for them.
"Batman!" Megan exclaimed, before covering her mouth with a blush.
The rest of Young Justice looked equally apprehensive. Sure, they had been told to go take care of the latest baddie. Still, it was Batman, and he was ridiculously territorial over Gotham.
Thankfully, he didn't say anything to them, instead turning to Robin.
"I heard about the escape."
Robin nodded immediately. "Back in Arkham now, didn't give us much trouble. Easier than the last two, anyway."
Batman focused on him. "Name?"
"Julian Webb."
The Bat nodded. "Cave. Now."
They left.
What do you think? Sorry this chapter is so short, but I'm trying to get another one up later tonight. In the meantime, I'd like some help:
What should I call Robin? In the first chapter, he said his name was Rick, just because I imagine that being named 'Dick' in an orphanage would be painting a target on your back. But now, what do I do? Calling him Rick sounds wrong, and you can only call a character 'Robin' so many times in the same paragraph. Let me know what you think!
Also, it's been requested that I do flashbacks to his time in the orphanage/on the streets (thanks, Bobby Corwen!). Does anyone else like this idea? If so, how 'graphic' should I get? I'm determined to keep the story 'T' rated, but I've got no real objection to whumping Robby. Again, let me know in a review or PM!
