sorry for the LONGGGG wait...another short add...only two chapter's left...OMG!
Batman stood outside of Arkham. He hated the fact that Robin's life, his son's life…depended on the one man who tried so desperately to take it from him…who hurt him so badly that this help was required. He sighed, tugged his cowl and slammed through the doors. There was no flurry of horrified gasps from prisoners, no surprised looks from jail keepers, no theatrical flickering of the lights as he walked. He nodded briefly to the commissioner who had granted his access and then brushed into the Riddler's cell, a man locking it behind him.
"Five minutes" the man called, holding up five fingers and wiggling them spontaneously, Bruce turned and gave the man a look of I'm the god damn Batman, I do what ever the hell I please, and the man left with out another word.
"HAHAHAHAHAWhoo!" The Riddler screeched rocking in his straight jacket, perched on the edge of his cot. "the Batman in all his rage-ous fury! In all his brooding glory-!"
"-Shut up, Edward"
"Oh hoho, first name basis I do see my dear Bats, but I do seem to be at an unfair disadvantage since I don't know yours!…hmm?..No response I see…but I guess if I put together the puzzle pieces of Robin being Dick Grayson…I guess that makes you Bruce Wayne" silence flooded the cell "I guess we can both play this game Bruce…but your secret is safe with me…SCOUTS HONOR! HAHAHAHAHEHE!" Batman jumped up and grabbed the front of Riddler's jacket, their nose's touched
"I said shut up Nigma…before I finish what I stared at your underground retreat." Riddler twitched and yanked back trying to wipe his nose on the shoulder of his straight jacket
"Too close Batman, I prefer to rub noses with Boy Wonderful" Bruce growled and closed his eyes taking deep breaths "so why ARE you here Wayne…come to give me updates on Mr. Sex on Legs?"
"I'm going to kill you someday…someday soon…and very slowly" The Riddler laughed as Bruce continued "I'm here because I need blood"
'Jesus, when you said soon…you weren't screwing!"
"Edward" Batman growled "I'm not screwing…I never screw…"
"What about Catwoman?"
"I said SHUT UP, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"Alright, alright…shutting…"
"Robin need's a blood transfusion…and you, you sick bastard, you're the only one with his type…I personally don't want any of your god damned blood inside my son…but if it means saving his life-"
"-and think about it Bats, there's worse stuff of mine floating in his body right now than blood" Batman slapped the sickly man savagely and rage over took the bound man's face "I wouldn't help you if you got on your knee's and begged!"
"Think about it this way Nigma, you can volunteer to give me blood, or I can take it forcefully…please say forcefully it would make my day…hell it would make my year!" there was a thoughtful silence, Edward closed his eyes and sighed
"You know boy wonder is really special, where can you find someone so dedicated to something, so young…with so much charisma and life?…I guess I was jealous of him…and I wasn't kidding when I told him I loved him…I'll give you as much blood as you need even if it drains my last drop…" Batman stared mouth gaping at the villain, the Riddler's head was bowed "I'm not doing it for you Bats, I'm doing it for Richard…and I wasn't screwing when I said your secret was safe with me…I wouldn't risk having someone else get to Robin first" Batman shook his head lightly
"I-"
"There are just two conditions…one Robin comes to visit me after he's better…I- I want to apologize..."
"No. there's no way in hell I'll let my son around you-"
"-Bruce, I'm being sincere…my second condition is that when you bring him back you answer the riddle that had been oh so pushed aside…"
"How many ways can a Robin die?"
"That's the one…you DO listen! Hehehe"
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
The banging on the door made the duo jump
"Five minutes are up!" the keeper yelled, Batman walked to the door and slid open the eye hole, peeking in was the guard.
"Bring in the equipment…the Riddler agreed"
"For Richard" the Riddler mumbled as the door swung open revealing a medical side table with a gleaming needle "for Richard, my little birdie...hehehehehehe" the needle was pushed in and valuable blood taken out.
The team crowded the medical cot where Robin lay semi-consious.
"he's destablizing..." J'onn announced, an eerie calm wafting thorugh the room, the silence pounded in the heroes ears, the league was lined against the wall, leaning on eachother and casting a weary eye on their ex-sidekicks. "Robin has less than 15 minutes with out that blood...where the hell is Batman?" all their eyes shifted to the still door, willing it to fling open.
"we don't even know if the Riddler will agree...if not..." Megan threw desperate eyes on her uncle "can't we do something?"
"I'm afraid not, Megan...I'm afraid not..."
not a single tear was shed...by now they had run out. Robin closed his eyes gently, with strange peace he prayed
"Mami, Tătic...if i have ever needed you more...I need you now..."
