Chapter Four: Robin's Chance to shine
Where we last left off…
(BANE POV) :
"Who is making that sound" I stare around the room, all of my men are shaking their heads saying it's not them. As I'm about to speak the door on the other side of the room falls open exposing the culprit.
(ROBIN POV) :
Hearing Banes men getting into trouble and being treated like little kids made me giggle, but my sudden outburst made bane look up. "Who is making that sound", as he's starring around the room all of his men are shaking their heads saying it's not them. I'm just hoping in my mind that he won't find me. Slowly I try and creep away from the door but to my horror the breeze swings the door open.
I can't move….. I tried to will my body to move but my limbs are frozen to the ground. "Well it seems that our culprit has decided to reveal themselves" he says with a grin. Feeling control seep back into my body I turn to face them. "How'd you get in here kid? Marcus said in curiosity. I take a deep breath and try to reply "the door was left unlocked, so I-lI thought I could go exploring and maybe escape" I whisper the last part.
Bane just looked at me then at Marcus and laughed "Well at least you are honest little one" just as he's about to talk, Marcus interrupts him whispers something into his ear. I wonder what he's saying to Bane I say to myself.
(BANE POV) :
Just as I'm about to speak again Marcus interrupts me by whispering into my ear. "Maybe we should let him out for a while Boss, he's probably bored as hell being stuck in that room all the time and who knows it might do not only him good but everyone else too". Thinking over what Marcus said, maybe he's right the boy has been cooped up in that room since his arrival.
"Maybe I have been a bit hard on our young friend after all he is our precious guest" I say. Numerous eyes and gasps could be heard in the room. I clear my throat drawing back the attention of the men "Yes I know this might come to a bit of a shock and yes I am well aware we are sworn enemies but I think we could use his knowledge and skills to our advantage". That last sentence spiked curiosity in the atmosphere. "But Boss what could we possibly learn from a pip squeak like him" one of them spoke up.
I smiled and replied "Well why don't we put him to the test then" that got my men interested. Slowly I make my way towards the boy, being cautious not to alarm him. "Come Robin, show my fellow men what you're really made of", I extend my hand towards Robin, he looks at it with caution but then slaps it away. "You think you can just go kidnap someone and then be all lovey dovey and expect me to be all obedient, well sorry to bust your bubble but you have another thing coming to you". Silence filled the room afterwards, I never knew the boy had such fire inside, if this is his true self we might be in for a fight.
We entered the training room where numerous men were training. They all stopped what they were doing and formed a crowd around us. "Gentlemen, young Robin here thinks he's tough enough to take on the big boys and would like to show us his skills", I hear murmurs and grunts across the room.
A number of people stepped forward and begin to circle Robin. The men stretched and cracked their knuckles trying to intermediate him, but judging by that Cheshire cat grin and fire in his eyes, I think the guys are walking into a death match.
(ROBIN POV) :
Ha! They think they can intermediate me by circling me and cracking their knuckles, well they have another thing coming because I'm the boy wonder, Batman's sidekick and his royal masked friend in the night. Whatever these people threw at me, I know that they will never be as brutal and torturous as Batman's training routines.
I get into a fighting stance bracing myself for the fight ahead. As expected two men attacked me at one trying to put me off guard. I crouch down low and do a round house kick to the first guy swinging a punch at my face. While that guys knocked off balance I use his body to attack the next guy. Now I knew this one would be a little tricker then the other because of his height and weight. He goes to kick my rib cage where of course I block it and while I've stopped his momentum I use the nerve technique that Batman showed me.
I stab at the nerves located on the neck, chest and arms. I grin to myself the bigger they are the harder they fall. I'm really glad that I listened to one of Batman's lessons. Seeing other man approaching me I scan the room for weapons or something that could make this fight less exhausting.
My eyes land on a stack of metal rods. I quickly make up a plan of action. I pretend to shake from exhaustion and look defeated. "Oh dear is the poor little one tired already", I hear one of them say and that causes a ruckus of laughter. This was the distraction I needed, I quickly sprint over to the rods and before anyone can move I let loose the barrier restraining them.
I jump up into the air and grab on to the beams on the ceiling. Looking down at the remaining men I see them trying to run away from the metal rods. But to my success they can't out run them and within minutes the room is filled with grunts and moans of pain.
(BANE POV) :
I couldn't help but laugh out as yet again one by one of my men were beaten and out smarted by the boy. I was blown away by that surprise nerve technique he used, but then again he was Batman's sidekick so nothing but extraordinary was to be expected.
"Well now you have seen the boy at his best and it can clearly be said that he's a force to be reckoned with". Just as I'm about to offer a hand to the boy he lets go of the beam and comes plummeting to the ground. Fear clouded my mind, surely he can't be serious about doing this but then again this is Robin. Meters away from crashing to the ground he pulls his legs up to his body in a perfect tuck position.
He did one flip, and then landed, turning the impact into a roll. He bled out then momentum into a handspring and a series of flips. He finished crouching low before flashing a smile towards my way. He stands up and dusts off before making his way towards the exit of the training room. "If that's what you call a fight then I would say I'm a little disappointed I was really hoping for a good fight", just as he's at the door he turns around "Maybe next time you shouldn't underestimate someone, no matter how small or tall they are" and with that he was gone.
Sorry for the wait I have been really busy at work lately but have no fear I will try and update as soon as I can.
