Hello! RicePoison here. If you've been here this whole time I bet you're wondering who Hawk Town is in our universe. Lets play a game, another bird of prey, and a synonym for town. Answer in the reviews, and if you need a hint, this chapter should be enough! I do not own any lyrics used here. Here is our third 'fun' chapter!
~Main Convention Building, 7:45 pm~
I bolted into the main convention building and backstage quickly to meet up with Roy, the girls and Hawk Town. Kaldur, Wally and Conner were right behind me. Zane was just going over they lyrics when he saw me. "Hey Rio!"
"Um, Rio went home, I'm Robin." I looked at him.
"Oh, sorry Robin, you two look so alike!" Zane smiled, I felt like I was going to melt, but I had to keep my male composure. "I'm going to open with 'Bombshell', so I'll need Artemis and her trick arrows. After that, I'll need you guys to come onstage for my new song. Instructions should be downloaded to your computer, Robin"
"Beta Alpha Theta?" I looked at him
"Yep, that one. Read it through. C'mon Artemis." Zane pulled Artemis (who wasn't complaining at all) towards the stage.
I turned on my wrist computer, reading the text, showing it to the rest of the Team. I heard Zane singing, and found myself singing along "Bombshell blonde, wired up to detonate. I'm James Bond, live to die another day. Bombshell blonde, high explosive dynamite. She's all I want, so I am on a mission tonight..." BANG! I heard one of the trick arrows explode. I looked at the rest of my team. "That was loud."
"You have a good voice Robin." Zatanna smiled, I couldn't help but give a cheesy smile back. "I mean like seriously, you memorized the lyrics to that."
"Rio bleached her hair blonde once, that's all she would sing to annoy me." I powered down my wrist computer. Not true, I once attempted to bleach my hair blonde, but all I had the courage to do was two streaks so Batman wouldn't notice.
Kid Flash looked at me "I think he's finishing his set. Artemis just let off five trick arrows. All of them released confetti. Nice trick."
"In that case, that's our cue!" Miss Martian was already levitating off the ground. I pulled her back down "Sorry, I forgot."
"I saw your face in a criminal sketch. Don't be alarmed 'cause you don't know me yet. I'm on the prowl now, sniffing around this town for you."
Red Arrow headed out first, shooting an arrow at Artemis' feet. It exploded in red glitter. I congratulate Zane for buying those trick arrows, totally cool. I read the lyric cues on my gloves, nodding to Batgirl.
"Calling all cars, there's an officer down. Shot to the heart on the night on the town, and the evidence of your fingerprints was found, and now..."
Batgirl flipped out onto the stage, I followed her, flipping over momentarily into a handstand and walking along the stage on my hands. I flipped back upright, joining Red Arrow and Artemis at the front of the stage.
"You got the right to remain right here with me. I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit. Love is a high speed chase racing down the street"
Kid Flash sped out with Superboy and Miss Martian, each taking '007' poses. I looked around, where was Zatanna and Aqualad?
"Oh no, here we go once again. We both know you'll never turn yourself in. So I'm driving 'till it's light out, searching for your hideout"
POP. Zatanna appeared in a cloud of smoke beside Zane's bass player, putting her hand on her hip and looking at the audience, which was PACKED! Never saw so many cosplayers in one place in my life!
"Pick up the pace as I chase you around. One of these days I'll end up tracking you down. But yeah, I've got the feeling I'll be letting you loose when I do"
Kid Flash rushed over to me, I backflipped across the stage. Aqualad finally emerged, grabbing my shoulder and stopping my momentum. I nodded, front-flipping over to Hawk Town, he passed me a microphone.
"Because you, you got the right to remain right here with me. I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit. Love is a high speed chase racing down the street." Hawk Town sang, then looking at me.
I echoed the lyrics back, singing "You got the right to remain right here with me. I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit. Love is a high speed chase racing down the street." my voice changer even worked for singing! Yay!
Kid Flash looked at me, I threw him my microphone. I ran over to Artemis, she flipped over me, shooting an arrow into the air that burst into green sparkles. Aqualad was working with the hydrotechnics (water pyrotechnics), looping water over the stage in a manner that made it look like glass.
"You got the right to remain right here with me. I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit. Love is a high speed chase racing down the street" Kid Flash sung into the mic, the rest of the Team and I looked up in surprise. KF had a pretty decent voice, almost similar to Zane's.
Zatanna walked up to join me at front stage. I looked at Red Arrow, who shot off five arrows into the audience, all exploding into sparkles and streamers. I then noticed M'gann flying above us, was she levitating Zane? His fake wings appeared to be working.
"Egnahc sthgil ot ocsid!" I heard Zatanna mutter, the lights of the convention center turning various colors, repeating in patterns.
"I'm coming after you!" we all yelled at the same time. Just as the applause started, someone killed the lights. I heard music, but it wasn't Zane's.
{Is everyone linked?} I heard Miss Martian in my head.
{Guess who is the only one with nightvision goggles?} I heard Kid Flash, his tone was irritating. I felt something on my face, and around the back of my head. {Robin has nightvision goggles!}
{Thanks KF.} I looked around the room. I heard Pitbull on the speakers, I turned around, realizing something in my red-vision. {Where's Zane?}
"Gnirb eht sthgil pu!" I heard Zatanna yell over the music. The lights came on, strobed, and shut off again {Dang, whatever has cut the lights has limited my magic too.}
I passed Kid Flash his goggles back, running into the audience. I opened my wrist computer, locating the electricity breaker in the back of the con building. I stumbled over various objects, running into the back room. There was a glowing red switch to reset the breaker. I was about to flip the switch when someone grabbed my wrist.
"I got him! I got Zane!" someone laughed maniacally. I felt something in my arm, then dizziness took over. I saw the red light fade out.
~Somewhere Else~
"You IMBECILE! That's Batman's sidekick, Robin. NOT HAWK TOWN! HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?!" an angry male voice was what I heard first
Who was that? Where am I? I opened my eyes, I was blindfolded. I rolled over, bringing my hands up, finding they were either cuffed or tied together. I wanted to scream, but I had been gagged.
"I know who Robin is, it's just I had a different plan." a female voice, cheery. Too cheery. "We have Robin, and that will be the lure to get Batman here, and then you take care of it from there!"
My blindfold was removed, I looked up. Joker and Harley Quinn. I narrowed my eyes, feeling my mask on my face, giving a strong batglare. Joker seemed to ignore it.
"Aw, how cute!" Harley smiled "We've caught ourselves a baby bat!"
At least I was smart after the last time I was kidnapped. I had put a tracer app on my friends' phones, and just had to activate it by pushing the switch inside my glove. Oh, wait, I can't reach it because of these stupid handcuffs. I tried to stretch to bring my hands in front of me. Nope, still trapped behind me.
"Aw, trying to get free, are you?" Joker looked at me "Can't do it without this." he held up my utility belt.
Damn. If I was Flash I could've vibrated myself out of these cuffs. If I was Batman, I would've already picked the lock. He must've got it while I was unconscious. I found something behind me, sticking out. It could push the tracking button in my glove! I hooked my glove on it, then somehow maneuvered to tap the button with the thing behind me. It beeped once, soft enough that I could muffle it.
"Ha, we can just hold the boy wonder here until Batman comes, by then you'll have a plan to capture the Batman, won't you Mr. J?" Harley smiled.
I took time to look around the room, it appeared to be a totally trashed hotel room, presumably the same one my Team and I were staying in. I heard a noise. Next thing I knew, the door was thrown across the room. Superboy stood in the doorframe. Well, this proved that my tracker app worked.
Kid Flash zoomed in, grabbed me, and ran down the hall to the snack machines. "Can you get the cuffs off?" He handed me my utility belt.
I tried to pick the lock, then finding the cuffs didn't have any. I shook my head.
"Okay, hold still." Kid Flash hugged me.
I felt my body go fuzzy. I then heard the cuffs clink to the ground. I looked at Kid Flash, his nose was bleeding. He had vibrated me out of the cuffs. I didn't know he could do that. "How did you...?"
"Motivation. Honestly, I didn't think I could do it either." he laughed. "By the way, your tracker app works amazing. I mean, it's like a bird GPS."
"Bird GPS?" I cocked my head to the side. "Shouldn't we get back to the fight?"
"Nah, Supey's taking care of it."
"Can you let go of me now?" I noticed he was still hugging me. "The cuffs are off now, thank you. You can let go now."
"Mmm, how bout... no." he picked me up, smirking. Oh joy, what was he doing? He ran up to the hotel's rooftop. He placed me back on the ground, grinning.
"KF, what is it?"
"You got the right to remain right here with me. I'm on your tail in a hot pursuit..." Kid Flash sung, then looked at me. I got it, he wanted me to finish the verse. Only, why?
"Love is a high speed chase racing down the street." I finished the verse for him, looking at him confused.
"Woo-oo woo-oo woo, I'm coming after you." he smiled, hugging me.
I giggled a bit. "Isn't playing 'fill-in-the-lyric' a bit childish?"
That's when he kissed me.
I couldn't believe it. I broke it right away, flinching back and making a bolt for the elevators. I held my hand up to my lips. Why did he do that? He's my best friend! I got on the elevator, pushing the button for the 20th floor. I watched the numbers light up, counting down to 20. I still felt stunned, looking blankly at the numbers. I didn't notice Red Arrow getting on at the 30th floor.
"Robin. What's wrong?" Roy looked at me
"Nothing." I got off the elevator with him at the 20th floor. I bolted into our room, pulling the sheets over my head and nodding off.
Read & Review! Shall this turn into a birdflash fanfic? I'm not sure right now, I think I'm just as confused as Robin. Also don't forget to check out my DeviantArt page, I'm going to be posting up concept sketches and more ~RicePoison
