Chapter 13

The team were screwed. They had underestimated their opponent and that had costed them.

Aqualad was dizzy, the heat in the room overwhelming him. Artemis was down to one arrow and her legs and arms were killing her from running up and down stairs. Kid Flash had twisted his ankle, making it painful to run. Superboy had gotten countless cuts from the teenage boy's knife that was apparently laced with Kryponite. M'gann had some injuries but since she could feel all of the team's pain, she felt worse.

"I was hoping that you guys would be more difficult to beat. But oh well. I've had my fun. Now for-" the teenage boy said from the shadows.

"Wait, no villain monolouge? But that's the best part!" Kid Flash gushed.

The teenager paused, his finger hovering above the button that would set off the bombs. " . . . I guess I can do that. Besides, I might as well humor you before you die. Okay, now where to begin? Well, I guess it all starts when I was young and-"

Kid Flash mentally sighed in relief. Now they would have some time to figure out a plan.

A plan? Kid Flash, we HAD a plan! It was running in here, beat the villain and save Robin. But did it work? NO!

Kid Flash mentally rolled his eyes. Way to stay positive, Artemis. Now does anyone have any ideas?

Well . . . Do we have any idea on where Robin is?

. . . I can hear his heartbeat now. Before, the ticking of the bombs and the noise from fighting prevented me from-

Wait, Kid Flash interrupted Superboy's thought, the ticking of the BOMBS?

Yes.

Aqualad suppressed his sigh. This is going to be more difficult than expected.

You think? Artemis thought to him.

. . . Maybe we could-

" . . . And then Shadow helped Batman put my masters away in jail. He thought that I was dead because I was in the underground base that he blew up. Obviously, I survived with only minor burns and a thirst for revenge-" the teenage boy said but was interrupted by Artemis.

"Shadow? Who the heck is Shadow?"

The teenage smirked in the darkness. "Oh, he hasn't told you guys, has he?"

"Told us what?" Superboy asked as he listened to Robin's hearbeat speed up as if he was waking up.

"I hadn't expected this. I had been hoping that you would know about his . . . spotty past. But maybe this is more fun . . . "

Kid Flash snorted. "Dude, I already know and trust me, Robins' past is NOT spotty. If you're going to tell them then don't twist the truth to fit your needs."

_Robin's POV_

Robin jerked awake, his eyes opening to find darkness all around him.

Man, I better not be blind!

To make sure he wasn't, he reached into his utility belt and pulled out a glow stick. He bended it till he heard a crack and then shook it, hoping it would work.

It did and when he saw its glow, he sighed in relief.

Now, what happened to me? How did I get-

Robin's thought stopped cold. He remembered something hard hitting the back of his head and falling to the ground.

Probably a crowbar. People just love hitting me with them.

Touching the back of his head, Robin could feel dried blood.

Great. Now I'm going to be dizzy when I stand up. There went my plan of beating the crap whoever did this to me . . . Who did this to me anyway?

Robin rubbed his chin with his right hand, his back leaning against a wall. His hand stopped when a name flitted through his mind.

Blade!
