CHAPTER 3:
"Robin? What... How...?" Wally looked at his best friend, who raised an eyebrow. Aqualad, Artemis, and Red Arrow were immediately alert, in case the Joker was there as well.
He laughed, though it seemed more amused than the 'im-gonna-laugh-even-though-this-isnt-funny' way he had laughed last time the team saw him.
He started to talk when Artemis narrowed her eyes at him. "Duh! That isn't Robin." Again, he tried to talk, but was cut off by the archer again. "Robin's number is B01, not B08... and it didn't recognize them!"
"I'm aware of that." Batman said, shutting the archer up. "This is Redbird, who will help you-"
"Reason why he's dressed like Robin?" Roy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Red- he can explain that-" he said, as he turned away, having to answer another call on his phone. Obviously, he still had to get a new comm.
Kid Flash turned to him. "Start talking."
Again, he was about to, when this time Batman cut him off. "I need to take care of something in the Batcave. I'll return soon." he said, walking to the zeta tubes.
"Recognized: Batman 02"
Roy rolled his eyes. "Of course he would have to leave right now."
Aqualad turned to 'Redbird'. "Come into the living room. We can all talk there." he said, before turning around and walking into the living room. Though they looked unsure, Artemis and Roy followed and took seats in chairs, each on either end of the room. Kid Flash sat on the couch, while M'Gann sat on the arm of it and Superboy stood next to her. Red Bird sat down next to the speedster.
"Well, as you know I'm not the real Robin-"
"Couldn't have figured that out..."
He ignored the speedster and continued. "-but I am someone who knows his identity, and I am trying to stop people from revealing him."
Artemis raised an eyebrow at him. "And how exactly are you doing that?"
He turned to her. "My father has an idea of who Robin is, and I know he's right. So, he knows Dick went missing just a few days ago, and he noted that Robin had stopped appearing around the same time, too." he explained. "He had paid attention to the year when Dick was believed to be dead, and he noticed once he had returned, that Robin had to, 4 months later."
"So to throw him off, you are pretending to be Robin." Aqualad said, understanding, and he nodded.
"Well... what's your real name?" Kid Flash pressed curiously.
"Rik-er, Rick... Silverman." he said, and they could all tell it was a lie. If he didn't want to tell his name, though, they wouldn't pry. Well, most of them wouldn't pry.
"And you are from Gotham?"
"Yes, I had moved there about five months ago." He told them.
"How old-" Kid Flash started, but was cut off by the younger teen.
"16," he told him, and he looked a little put down he was older than his best friend... he seemed short, though.
"You're just Robins size, and he's only 14." KF said, amused.
"Yeah, I'm a short gur-guy!" he said, grinning. Superboy then spoke up.
"Are you using something to change your voice?" he asked, catching Redbird off guard.
"Er..."
"Recognized: Batman 02"
"I managed to trace where Robin was last, which was about an hour ago at an abandoned toy factory." he told them, walking in.
"Wait- what?" Wally asked, as slow as ever.
"Robin found. Toy Factory. We leave now to find him!" Artemis told him slowly, to get it through his head.
"ROBIN! Let's go!" Wally said, trying to run by, and was stopped by the Dark Knight grabbing his shoulder. He looked at his best friends mentor in disbelief. "Why are you stopping me? Let me run there and find him before he disappears again!"
"Captain Marvel is going with you. I wouldn't put it past Joker to be a trap." Batman told him, letting him go. "I will not be going with you. I think you can handle this."
"Are we there yet?" Wally asked, sounding rather annoying since it was mostly a whine.
"Shut up, Baywatch. You're giving me a headache." Artemis snapped at him. To stop any arguing, which nobody needed, she quickly spoke to answer his question.
"We're here."
She landed her bio-ship on the roof, and switched it into camouflage mode before opening the doors. Aqualad was the first out, but Wally was first to the door that was on the roof. "Let's go!"
"Hold up, Kid Idiot, we can't just run in looking-"
"Why not?"
Red Arrow rolled his eyes as he walked over. "I have to agree with Kid on this. The longer we wait, the more time Joker has to get away." and without waiting for them, he opened the door and disappeared, along with the annoying teen speedster.
"Those two are acting like Robin with the whole leaving without the others thing." Conner grumbled, following. M'Gann stayed by his side. Aqualad, Redbird, and Artemis waited at the top for a moment before following.
"Split up or stick together?" Miss Martian's voice suddenly spoke in their minds, obviously surprising their new friend.
"This is so strange... hearing people in my head."
Wally started to laugh. "Dude, you sound like a girl when we speak telepathically!"
"Ha, I wonder why..." He trailed off, and allowed the teams leader to respond.
"Go around in groups of 2 and three. Miss Martian go with Superboy. Red Arrow with Kid Flash. Artemis, Redbird, and I are to be the third group."
The three couldn't see anyone else once they got down the stairs into the factory. It was dark, though not so dark you couldn't see anything. A few windows were scattered around here and there, and there were about a million places for someone to hide... you could even hide without meaning to.
A bunch of cardboard boxes were lined up against the wall on the other side of the room, on top of a machine that was shut down. The floor was cement, as were the walls. Hundreds of toys were scattered around the floor.
"You would think it would be empty after being closed... I just found a decapitated body of a teddy bear. Then I found the head making out with a giraffe." Wally's voice echoed in their heads, and both Artemis and Redbird rolled their eyes.
"I see something!" Conner told them, and the trio froze, listening for footsteps.
"I do, too..." Wally said, obviously excited to figure out who it was.
"I got them!"
"Gotcha-ow!"
All the cardboard boxes they had seen when they first walked in suddenly tumbled over, surprising them. Immediately, they ran over. Their hearts were pounding, mostly from the sudden loud noise, as they raced to find-
-their friends on the ground. Wally had a box in his head, while Conner was sitting in one. Some of the boxes around them were crushed, probably because of the clone.
"Good catch!" Artemis said sarcastically. Roy and M'Gann walked over to join them. The archer laughed.
"Congratulations, you caught yourselves." he quoted the speedster, remembering when he had done the same thing in Arkham, minus the boxes.
KF lifted the box off his head, and glared at him. "No, we say something. It just moved out of the way as we were about to grab it." he said, standing up. Superboy didn't move yet.
"I hear someone." he told them, still not moving. Everyone froze to listen themselves. Nothing. "Behind the machine over there." the clone then said, pointing.
Someone started to walk out, and Kid Flash ran over, and grabbed his arm before he ran off.
"HEY! Stop it, I'm just-"
Red Arrow's eyes widened in surprise, and then he glared. "I know this kid!" he said, walking over. "This kid attacked Dick at Wayne Manor last week."
The speedster looked at the boy, just as his arm was wrenched from his grasp.
"My name isn't 'this kid'. It's Matt." he snapped, glaring at the archer.
Artemis rolled her eyes, and walked over in front of him. "Whatever! Where is Robin?"
"From what I see, behind you." he said with a grin, and she turned around just to see Redbird. She turned back to him, and was surprised to see he hadn't moved at all.
"Where-"
"He isn't here. I just needed to talk to you." Matt told them, taking a step away from the angry teen.
Redbird glared at him. "What do you want?"
He obviously knew he wasn't the real Robin, and he gave a small laugh before become serious again. "You can't find your bird without me, so I want to help."
More Robin POV next chapter
btw, Redbird is also the name of a car that Robin/Tim Drake had. Since that is in the future, I see no reason I can't use it. Besides, the name will change eventually. Probably in the end.
