CHAPTER 6

"Where exactly are we headed?" Batgirl asked as she and Robin grappled to the rooftops.

"Batman wants us to go help out the Team on a remote island in the pacific," Robin said as he jumped, and glided to a lower rooftop.

"And we are going to get there how?"

"The Batwing is coming to drop off some gear to help. Then it will take us up to the lower atmosphere. We'll glide as far as we can, and swim the rest of the way," Robin said with a smile in Batgirl's direction.

"Ok, but should I really be there. The team doesn't know about me yet," Batgirl asked.

"You know you'll join the team sooner or later, so what's the problem?"

"Well, it's just that…" She started as she grappled to the tallest building in the area.

"Your worried that you won't fit in, or my team won't like you," Robin stated.

"I wouldn't put it like that, but…"

"But that's the truth," Robin said as he grappled to a higher roof. Batgirl followed, shaking her head slowly.

"You are impossible, you assume your correct every time. Sometimes your wrong you know," Batgirl said somewhat teasingly.

"Oh, I agree," Robin said. "I am wrong sometimes. Just not this time."

"If you say so…"

The Batwing flew overhead and dropped two cables to the two bats. At the end of the cables were two boxes. The two disconnected the boxes, finding some portable glider suits. The arms and the legs had wings connected, so it could be folded up. It was made of the same material as Batman's cape, making it foldable, but also very effective as a glider. The two put the suits on, and used the line to climb up to the Batwing. Once there it flew out over the ocean. The two flew on in silence, neither one wanting to pick up the conversation where it left off, but both fearing that if they started up the conversation it would make it's way back to that same spot.

About 20 minutes later, the plane flew to the gliding point. They looked at each other, mentally synchronizing, then Robin pressed the eject button. The Batwing's top pulled back, and then Robin and Batgirl were launched into the air. When they reached the top off their launch, spread their arms, and the glider caught on the wind.

It was a long, and quiet glide down, both feeling the anxiety of the moment. They had to dive towards the water a bit early, because of the light circling out from the island. There were patrols on the shore, and spotlights shining on the nearby water. Robin his the water, and quickly took the removable cape off. He folded it up, and managed to stuff it into his utility belt, which he wore over one shoulder and across his chest, so he could access it easier while swimming. Robin put a rebreather from his belt into his mouth, and looked over to confirm that batgirl had done the same. Of course she had, so on a nod from him, the ducked under the water, and started swimming toward the island.

…

Superboy paced around in a large circle, Zatanna and Rocket sitting on rocks a little ways off. The team had been gone for a while now, and Superboy was weighing his options. He could barge in, or wait, like Aqualad had instructed. Superboy was walking over to the girls to ask what they thought when everything went south. He heard dogs, and footsteps. "Megan" he thought, but got no response. That worried him.

He reached the girls and was about to warn them when the dogs, or as they turned out to be, wolves, burst through the trees, catching the girls by surprise. A man stepped after them, holding some sort of electric baton. The wolves wrestled the girls into the trees.

"The boss said to expect you," the man said. "and just like always, he was right,"

"who are you?" Superboy asked.

"No friend of yours," the man replied.

Superboy prepared himself for the coming battle as best he could, taking up a defensive stance to try to be ready for an attack, in case more wolves came.

…

Batman sat in his chair at the Batcave, monitoring his screen for updates. The team hadn't had anything new happen, and he was again trying to hack the answers out of his computer. Of course, he wasn't having much luck. Batman looked up, and watched as another light blinked off, shortly followed by two more. Only one was still lit up. "You had better hurry Robin," Batman said to himself as he got everything set up to contact the league. If anything else happened, Batman would call in the league to get the team out, regardless of if they lost the information in doing so. The team was worth more than that.

…

Superboy and the newcomer walked in a large circle, mirroring the other's movements. Both were sizing up their opponent.

"The others went down without too much of a fight, how bad can you be compared to them?" the man said.

"I'll let you find out," Superboy replied as he ran at the mystery man.

Superboy's first punch missed, but he spun and threw his elbow into the man from the side. With his super strength, that should have done a lot more damage, but it just made the man stumble to the side. The man came back, swinging his baton with fury. Superboy ducked, and tried punching again, but the same effect. The man was reacting as if Superboy didn't actually have any excelled strength. The man's baton blurred through the air, connecting with Superboy. It packed a surprisingly large amount of power, because it actually knocked him back a couple of feet.

Superboy looked around with his newfound space from his enemy, and saw that he was surrounded. There were wolves on all sides, and the man was slowly walking towards him, closing the distance. Out of the corner of his eye, Superboy saw Zattana and Rocked laying on the ground, most likely unconscious. He wished he could finish this fast, and get to helping them, or at least getting them on the bioship with Megan…

"Megan" he thought. Was she ok? Had this maniac person, whoever he was found the bioship? "Megan," he thought frantically. No response. His anger boiled over. This man had done something to his friends, so this man would pay. Superboy charged the man, turning what looked like another punch into a full on body slam. Surprisingly, it worked. The man went flying backwards, and rolled to a halt.

"Nicely done!" the man said as he climbed to his feet. "Not quite as good as your friend with the water enhancements, but nice still the same."

Superboy ignored him, charging again. As the man tried to step to the side, Superboy jumped, angling off to intercept him. He turned his momentum into a flying punch, or rather, a jumping punch, but he missed. He smashed into the man, sending both of them to the ground, and the wolves stepped forward in unison. Superboy grabbed the man, and threw him off, climbing to his feet as the snarling wolves surrounded him.

They jumped at him, one after the other. He felt teeth sinking in all over, and he wildly punched. It didn't matter where he punched, he hit a wolf. Superboy felt something hit his back, and he grew weak. He fell forward onto his face, completely exhausted. The wolves all stepped back as the man stepped forward, slapping his glowing baton against his the palm of his other hand.

"Well fought, well fought, but I always win," the man said as he stepped closer, towering over the figure of the downed Superboy. "Say goodnight," the man said as he raised his baton over his head, the glow intensifying.

Suddenly something flashed over Superboy's head, and the baton went flying from the man's hands. A supersonic shrilling rang out through the forest, and the wolves started whimpering as they recoiled from the sound. The sound got louder, and the wolves fled.

The man looked toward the sound in confusion, then watched as Robin walked closer. The man actually laughed. "You think YOU can stop me?!" the man said, taking a step forward.

"Hmm. Yeah, I guess I didn't really expect anything more than an overconfident lackey anyways," Robin said, seemingly to himself.

The man stared for a second, before recovering the shreds of dignity he hadn't yet lost, and walked towards Robin, a deadly gleam in his eye. Robin walked slowly towards the man as well, nodding his head slightly to the side. The man spun around, expecting some kind of ambush, and Robin threw two Birdarangs at the back of the man;s head. The man spun just barely quick enough to catch the Birdarangs, and smile at Robin. The smile said: "Ha,ha, nice try, but it ain't gonna work on me," Robin smiled back, dropping into a fighting stance. Superboy looked up, just in time to see the figure drop from the trees, purple cape flowing behind them, and land right on top of Robin's opponent.

Batgirl kicked her feet into the back of the man's head, and he collapsed.

"Nice work," Robin said, crouching down to inspect the man, Batgirl crouching beside him.

"Who's that?" Superboy asked, sitting up, and gesturing towards Batgirl.

"This is Batgirl," Robin said as he looked up. "But we'll have time for a full introduction later. Right now, I need you to tell me exactly what happened. Because we have a team to save,"
