The Red
Disclaimer: I don't own young justice just my douche bag version of red hood
A/N: wow another chapter I am on a roll! I'm a bit stuck so I'm gonna go with the flow and see where it goes. And umm…I don't mean to be the person who bags for reviews but a lot (well a lot for me) are following this story so if you could please give me a quick review or critique I would be really grateful for that. It's lame but it helps myself esteem which is epic fail. Anyway a huge thanks to those of you that have been reviewing and for not laughing at my need to throw in the fluff. Well there's my request and here is your chapter.
"NO," Robin cries out hitting his hand on the dash board of the batmobile. "There running blindly around Gotham and he's out? This cannot be happening!" Batman looks at his ward and can sense the rage radiating off him. The dynamic Duo was the first to be informed of the Joker's escape.
"Robin calm down," Bruce says. "We'll find them." Robin nods his head then jumps in his seat.
"The communicators," Robin cries. "I can hack the signal!" Dick doesn't hesitate; he whips out his arm computer and starts typing like mad. Batman keeps one eye on him while the other on the road.
"Got it," Dick cried. Batman is truly impressed at how fast his ward worked (not that he'd ever say it).
"Robin to team," Robin says into his communicator. "Robin to team do you read me?"
"Robin," Wally's voice comes through. "Oh thank god! Where are you? What happened?"
"Where am I," Robin demands. "Where the hell are you?"
"Looking for you," Wally cries out. "What the hell happened!"
"Nothing you need to worry about," Robin says. "Where are you?"
"Near Gotham peer," Wally says.
"Okay stay there," Robin says. "We'll be there in a few."
"Alright," Wally says and the communication goes dead.
"Gotham peer," Robin says. Batman nearly nods as the batmobile speeds on.
"Robin's okay," Kid Flash calls relief washing over his voice in waves. "He's coming here."
"Thank god," M'gann sighs landing on the ground. The rest of the team gathers around Wally wearing wary smiles.
"What happened," Artemis asks.
"He didn't say," Wally says. The team is easing now, relieved that their little brother is safe, until a sinister laugh splits the silence of the night. The team looks around and finds the source behind them. The green hair, white skin, purple suit and unmistakable grin.
"Well, well," the joker cackles. "If it isn't the little kiddies who ruined my plan. Now that was defiantly retrobutional (if you remember he made up a word in that episode)." Artemis whips her bow out in a second and the rest of the team ready themselves. It's six to one, how could they loss?
Super boy let out a roar of rage and launches at the clown prince of crime. The clown laughs like a maniac and slices Conner's shirt leaving a line of seeping blood. M'gann actually snarls as she sends a crate sailing at the Joker who dances (yes dances) out of the way.
Kid flash races up and knocks the man's feet out from under him. The clown keeps laughing as he jumps up and whirls around cutting an arrow that was sent at him clear in half.
"Little kids shouldn't play with the big boys," Joker laughs though he is mildly annoyed that he didn't have the time to gather any 'toys' to play with. Wally tries to run up behind the Joker but the clown elbows him in the face. Before Wally can fall the Joker grabs him by the hair. Wally cries out in pain as a knife is held to his throat.
The team freezes in an instant. Joker keeps laughing and it coming very clear Conner is ready to detach the man's head from his body.
"Now kiddies," Joker laughs. "I'm going to show you what happens when you play with the big boys." He laughs like crazy but it is cut short when a black boot collides with Joker's face. He falls to the ground, blood spurted from his nose. Robin lands with his foot on the man's chest (about time he got to do that to someone).
"DON'T EVER TOUCH MY FRIENDS," Robin screams at the Joker giving a very dangerous glare that shows batman is clearly rubbing off on him. Joker snarled and sliced Robin's leg with one of his razors that hadn't been knocked from his hand. Robin hisses in Pain but responds by stomping on the clown's face.
Batman appears from behind. He gives the team a glare and an even colder one to the joker before whipping out handcuffs (he has those in under the red hood, they look like bats) and snapping them a lot too tightly on the Joker.
"That was a lot easier than normal," Robin notes before turn to his friends a deeply serious look on his face.
"Are you guys okay," he asks full ignoring his bleeding leg.
"For the most part," Kaldur says. "But we are glad to see that you are alright." Batman comes to Robin's side and gives his deadly bat glare.
"What the hell were you all thinking," the dark knight growls. "This is by far one of the most reckless things you have ever done!"
"We were worried about Robin," Wally cries out. "We didn't know what was going on! The league hadn't heard from you!" Batman growls but feels understanding and a slight feeling of happiness at the fact Robin's friends truly cares about him.
"We will discuss this later," the bat says. "I need to return the Joker to arkham. Robin there is a broken telephone booth a few blocks down. Take your team to the bad cave and get patched up. I will return shortly." The team nods and let Robin lead the way.
