Rebel Justice

Day 5

The next day was filled with anticipation. Robin could tell from the moment he woke up that something huge was going to happen.

In the kitchen, Roy was explaining his plan. Cheshire and Artemis were glaring at him, still angry, but they listened to what he had to say.

"We're meeting with a fellow rebel in Gotham tonight. He is going to help us infiltrate Wayne Tower, for some info we need. I will be speaking to him alone, but I want M'gann, Jade, Artemis, and Roy in the rafters to make sure he doesn't try anything. Connor, Kaldur, Raquel and Zatanna will stay behind as backup. Wally, you're staying here to watch Robin."

"Awwww! Dude! I don't want to miss all of the action. Can't Zatanna stay? She and Rob get along well," Wally whined.

"No. You're staying. End of discussion."

"Well, I'm not," Robin, who had silently walked into the kitchen, said.

"Yes. You are. You are technically kidnapped, and we can't let you out of our sight."

"But if you leave me here, how do you know I won't just escape? Wally's not the best person to leave here."

"You're just going to sneak out after us anyways, aren't you?"

"Yep."

"Fine. Robin will be in the rafters, watched by the four already there. Wally, you're with the backup group."

"Yes!" Wally yelled as he high fived Robin.

"Everyone suit up. We meet in the hanger in ten. Robin, come here."

Everyone split their separate ways, except for Robin who went to speak with Roy.

"Are you sure you want to come?"

"Yes."

"Then I can't let you go in your Robin costume, it's too noticeable. Let me see if I can dig something up, I'll meet you in your room."

So, Robin went to his room and waited for Roy to find him a suitable costume. A few minutes later, Roy walked in, his Red Arrow costume on, and a pile of black clothing in his hands.

"Here, this should fit."

He threw the clothes at Robin, and left. Robin unfolded the clothing. It was some simple black pants, padded with Kevlar while still remaining flexible. There was a padded shirt with a blue bird type design on it. A black utility belt was in there with the clothing. It wasn't as fancy as his belt, but it would do. After putting on the clothes, adding in his gloves and boots, and transferring the contents of his belt to the black one, he was ready to go.

The Team was already in the hangar when he got there. A sleek black jet sat in the middle of the floor. The door to it slid open, and the teens entered. The jet opened up into a room with a control center in the middle, surrounded by several seats. Everyone sat down, ready for their mission to begin.

Red Arrow was sitting in the commander's seat; he camouflaged the ship and took off into the sky. It took a couple hours to get to Gotham from where they were; night had fallen by the time they arrived. Red Arrow steered the ship over the warehouse district. He motioned for Tempest to take his place, and he as well as Ghost, Arsenal, Cheshire, Tigress, and Robin dropped out of the plane and onto the roof of the warehouse directly below them.

Ghost set up a mind link with the others as Red Arrow dropped to the street to enter the warehouse. The others slipped in through a window and positioned themselves around the warehouse in the rafters. Red Arrow walked in and stood in the center. Seconds later, Red Hood entered.

"Red Arrow. I hear you have a proposition for me. "

"I do. I want to get in Wayne Tower. I thought with your expertise I could pull it off without a hitch."

"You're wanted by the Lords. I could turn you in now and get anything I wanted."

Red Hood snapped and thugs started filling the room.

Everyone, hold your positions. Red Arrow thought to his teammates.

You could be seriously hurt down there Red Arrow. I think we should attack and get the heck out of Dodge. Robin thought back.

No. Hold your positions! Red Arrow sent out.

"You could turn me in, but we both know what you really want. By helping me get into Wayne Tower, you're helping take down the Lords."

"It's and interesting proposal. I'll have to think about it. Until then, I think I'll keep you just in case."

Nobody move, I've got a plan. Red Arrow ordered.

Robin didn't listen. He jumped out of the rafters and sent a few smoke bombs down to the floor. The rattle of machine guns rang out around the warehouse as the thugs tried to shoot him. He landed on the ground, birdarangs flying. The smoke cleared slightly, and one of the thugs managed to get a clear shot. The bullet snapped the bird back with its momentum, cleanly going through the shoulder. Blood gushed out, it seemed the bullet had nicked an artery.

The warehouse grew silent as Robin fell to the ground.

"Who is that and what is he doing here?" Red Hood demanded.

"That was my friend, and I don't know what happened. I'm leaving. Maybe we can work something out, but I've got to take care of this," Red Arrow said.

"Who said I'll let you?"

"Who said I was asking permission?"

Red Arrow grabbed the fallen bird and left the warehouse. Those in the rafters snuck out and they all met back at the plane. Ghost did her best to heal Robin, but he had lost a lot of blood and was unconscious. The only thing left to do was wait for him to wake up.

As soon as the plane landed at the base, Red Arrow went to the training room to work off some steam. Robin wen to the med bay, where Dr. Leslie Thompkins was waiting. She sent the Team off to bed, and sewed up Robin's wound. It was going to be a long night for all of them.

And the plot thickens as the week draws to a close. See you tomorrow!

Have a phenomenal day,

Shadow
