A/N: Sorry, late again. But life got in the way. God damn Physics tests.

Thought I needed to make Red more awesome, plus who doesn't love calling Bane a small off duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden?

(This is actually SO hard to write because I'm just out of writing a chapter of Red Ribbon and am in Rob/Rae mode so it's difficult to write Chalant, which is why there is a distinct lack of it in this chapter.)

Enjoy, and tell me if it's awful!

Red Volcano (evidently my "baby brother" has been rebuilt) made an unsuccessful attack on a Ferris Aviation facility in Coast City.

Green Lantern Hal Jordan and the team were dispatched to deal with him.

In a pitched battle, he was eventually defeated (by myself using the Catherine Wheel protocol to blind him while Robin planted a Bat-Inhibitor) and we were able to wipe his stolen memory unit, so he no longer has access to the memories of myself, Red Inferno and Red Torpedo.

The team enjoyed dancing round the restrained and furious Red Volcano singing the "Robot Hell" song, featured in the televised broadcast "Futurama".

Robin invoked the power of Bat-Contingency #821 (any member of the Bat-Family is only a part timer in any superhero team and can at any time return to the Batcave for any reason) and took a day off team duties "to go and give Kiteman his birthday present".

It is at times like this I wonder whether villains in Gotham City are actually villains, or just Robin's occasional caretakers.

Giant bat-shaped kite spotted above Blackgate Prison exercise yard.

Captain Cold attempted to steal from Central City's Depository and made off with $3,000,000 worth of diamonds, but tripped on the pavement and broke his arm. Flash ran him to a prison hospital.

Poor man.

Robin has taken it upon himself to teach me the basics of human emotions and expressing them.

He has been successful to a fault. I can now express:

Fear; "Oh my god, it's going to kill us."

Sadness; "Oh my god, it's killed us."

Joy; "Oh no it hasn't."

And I have managed to gain a handle on anger, with rudimentary mindless violence.

That's a new one.

Robin's "training" has overloaded my lying circuit. Accidentally asked the team to infiltrate a shopping centre in London to arrest a small off duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden, when I meant to have them attack a military complex in Santa Prisca to apprehend Bane.

I doubt Bane himself was best pleased when Robin confiscated his Venom injector then applied some reinforced titanium restraints and said "We have the small off duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden. Requesting extraction at the LZ."

Deactivated lying chip. I shall turn it back on when it has cooled down.

Discovered I had used up John Smith's "holiday" quota, so was forced to return to teach 5J. Taught 5J. Marked 5J's essays. Came back to the Cave. Powered down for three hours.

Trained with Batman.

I was unaware his cape and entire bodysuit is water, flame, shock, wind and bulletproof up to 10 feet.

Unfortunately, I am evidently not Batarang-proof.

The Terror Twins concluded that I was the easiest Justice Leaguer to overcome in combat and attacked me just over the Metropolis Bridge.

Calculating Tuppence Terror's outbound trajectory, I do not think she quite achieved exit velocity, but I am fairly sure she ended up somewhere near Bermuda. Tommy Terror is embedded in the North Wall of Stryker's Island. Recovery teams are currently endeavouring to remove him and repair the damage to the ribs on his right side.

Evidently, their logic was flawed.
