Sorry its so short this time! :( I apologize if I move the story too fast too.. I never like to just spend time explaining the situation more, I'm too lazy. XP

Thank you for all the reviews, favorites and alerts! They make me feel.. ASTEROUS! :D


Robin and Artemis rushed through the locker room doors and were running down an empty hallway when suddenly, Robin shot his arm out to the side signaling Artemis to stop.

'Why'd you-" Artemis didn't get to finish her sentence as two large shadows approached the corner. Robin put a finger to his lip, asking her to keep quiet. She nodded, her eyes returning to the steadily growing shadows. As they got closer, Artemis finally saw what they were. Two large dogs with foam dripping from their mouths, that seemed to curve into a sinister smile exposing their razor sharp teeth.

The dogs caught sight of the young heroes and began charging at them, their claws scratched the along hallways as they ran towards their prey. Robin swiftly reached for his belt and took out a birdarang, while Artemis reached for her bow and grabbed an arrow from her quiver. Both attacked simultaneously. Robin's birdarang exploded on impact and released a metal net entangling the creature, while Artemis shot her arrow to the ground and released a foam like substance which trapped the other. The duo then continued towards the engine room. On the way, they met a several other of the dogs, all of which ended up either caught, or unconscious.

When they finally got there, they quickly closed the doors behind them and locked it shut.

"Huff-huff. What were.. those dogs.. doing here?" Artemis managed to get out in between rasps. The dog fight had tired them both a little.

"Those weren't dogs. They're Hyenas. Joker seems to find it amusing to keep them as 'pets'." Robin answered. He was able to catch his breath a lot faster than Artemis.

"Guess you're a bird person, huh?" Artemis joked.

"Very funny." replied Robin sarcastically. "Now.. lets get back to work."

(I'm skipping the defusing bomb scene, since its probably gonna be the same as the previous one. I'll leave it to your imagination :D)

With the last snip of the wire, Robin was done, another bomb now defused.

"Phew.. I don't think I'd ever get used to that." Sighed Artemis "One wrong cut and we're history."

"Thanks for making me feel sooo much better, Arty." Replied Robin again with the sarcasm.

Artemis blushed. Robin always seemed so composed and fearless, she'd sometimes forget he was just a kid. And just like any other kid, they get scared. Well, probably not scared in Robin's case, maybe just nervous or anxious.

"Anyways, we got two down, one to go with about 40 minutes left till it activates. Let's get going."

"But wait. It's in the gym isn't it? How are we supposed to get there with the guards keeping watch on the doors? Not to mention that they are armed with guns and there are innocent civilians held hostage."

"You could say they're literally a 'captive' audience." Robin smirked. Artemis face palmed and Robin snickered.

"Joking aside, I've located a vent opening just above the gym. Why don't we drop in for a surprise?"
