Thanks for the reviews guys! Seriously appreciate it, and thanks for waiting.
One Week Later:
"Come on, Batman," Robin pleaded, "it's been a week and no threats or messages, not the slightest thing. You have to let me go on this mission! The mission is in Happy Harbor, has nothing remotely close to having anything to do with the Joker or the Injustice League, and it's a simple stealth and grab some criminal doctors."
"Robin, I know it's been a week," he replied hesitantly, "but we're not taking any risks. This isn't some thug or something, this is the Joker."
"And neither are the people on this mission," Robin shot back, "you can't keep me locked up forever you know."
"Wasn't planning on it,"
"The team is going to need me and you know that," Robin lowered his voice from the teams ears, "if these underground experimentations are being controlled by Cadmus then they're going to need a hacker for sure. Any illegal experiments are going to be under heavy security."
Batman sighed realizing Robin was right, "Fine."
The mission was to get in, figure out if the word of illegal human experimentation was going on, and stop anyone who tries to stop us. On the way there everything seemed calm, everyone was getting focused, except for Superboy who seemed a little nervous to be going around a laboratory. Although none of them could blame him.
"Miss Martian, put the bio-ship in stealth mode," Aqualad ordered.
"On it," she replied.
"Now we're coming upon our target," Aqualad continued, "remember our plan. Kid Flash, Robin, and Miss Martian will take to the roofs, the building only two stories you should be able to run up, then Superboy and Artemis will take to the front door, and me and Zatanna will go for the back way."
Once they landed they went straight into action, approaching the building from its side Robin used his grappling hook and propelled up. Miss Martian flew up, while Wally tried to run up, and he almost made it but Miss Martian had to help him the rest of the way.
Telepathic link is up, she announced.
Alarms are down, Robin told them after he hacked into the systems with his holographic computer.
Okay, let's go, Kaldur replied, but remember this is a stealth mission; fighting only if necessary.
There was a door to the roof with a hand print access lock, which Robin hacked into with ease and got them quietly into the building. They were on the second floor with two doors on each side of them. Looking into the small door windows Robin turned back to Miss Martian and Kid Flash.
"Looks like these rooms are empty," he whispered, "Miss Martian you go in that room, and me and Kid Flash will take this room."
After unlocking the door they split up, Kid Flash and Robin ended up in a room that was part an office and part lab. Iridescent lights glisten against metal tables and computer screens, desk after desk buried in paper, and in the back all sorts of chemicals and test tubes.
"KF, dig through that filing cabinet for anything suspicious," Robin told him, "I'll look back here."
"On it!" Kid Flash zoomed over and began throwing up papers and making his arms look like blurs of color.
Robin headed for the computer that sat with the various chemicals and testing equipment. Well, if this equipment doesn't give them away then I should find something on their computer, Robin thought to himself. He began searching through the computer thoroughly as Kid Flash zoomed over to him.
"Nothing in the files," he shrugged then began messing around with the equipment.
"Archive files," Robin whispered to himself as he rose than eyebrow, then took a moment to hack into them and unlock them. He scanned over each one as quick as he could. "Hey, KF, can you go check and see if Miss Martian's found anything?"
"Be back in a second," Wally slapped his goggles over his eyes and sped out of the room.
Then he stumbled upon a file that seemed to interest their mission, but just as he clicked on it a beeping began.
His heart racing in surprise Robin tried to run from the computer but next thing he knew an explosion splattered him with chemicals and pieces of glass. The impact threw him into the wall like a ragdoll.
Meanwhile:
"They were planning something," Batman told Black Canary, "I feel like there's something we're missing here, and the messages and Robin?"
"The Joker is a part of the Injustice League," Black Canary replied, "although the Joker seems to spring more from the Injustice League. So you can't know for sure it's the Injustice League or just the Joker, but do really think this all ties together somehow?"
"If the timing wasn't so ironic," Batman looked away in deep thought, "how can we even know for sure it's the Injustice League?"
"How can we be sure they are even up to something?" Black Canary stepped closer. "The League only has suspicions, I know you've been doing some digging, but if you're coming to a blank conclusion maybe there's a reason for it."
"You seem so at ease about this?"
"Well, I don't believe getting worked up over some anonymous tips," she replied, "taking precautions and letting it overrule your work are two different things." She gave him a sincere smile in an effort to comfort him.
"I just want to keep him safe from that psychopath," he admitted. "There have been some close calls involving Robin and the Joker. I hate putting him in these situations. . . . If you can't destroy your opponents than destroy his backup and try again, it seems like all villains come to that conclusion eventually."
"You said it yourself, you think there is something more going on," she continued, "try not to always assume the worse okay? We're not going to let anything happen to him."
"You're right,"
Meanwhile:
He felt his whole body tremor as he slammed again the wall, his bones being slugged uncomfortably and his head swaying in dizziness.
"Robin!" he heard Kid Flash yell out.
With his mind desperately searching for Kid Flash and rumble lying like a blanket over his body, he lied in an abyss of darkness. . . .
Hope you guys enjoyed! Sorry about the wait, and if you got a second you should review!
