Robin was thrown to the ground violently, his useless legs collapsing underneath him. He let out a cry as his body hit the cold floor and blood splashed like red pain across the concrete.
"How nice of you to join us." Luthor sighed. Robin was the last piece to a wonderful yet difficult puzzle he had been trying to figure out for years.
"What do you want with us?" Aqualad asked, his silver eyes tracing Robin's prone figure carefully.
"Isn't it obvious? You are the JLA's only weakness. If I have you then I have the most valuable bargaining chip. Thanks to you, the Light will rise again. "
"Forget that!" Artemis argued shrilly, as if the end of the world hadn't just been explained to them. "What did you do to Robin?" She nodded to the boy, who was struggling to sit up desperately without the use of his legs. Kid Flash, who was nearest to him, was trying, in vain, to help.
"Uh, uh, uh." Luthor sneered, crossing his arms. "I gave you Robin, so now you answer my questions. How did you find this place? How did you know it was down here?"
"And if we don't answer your questions?" Red Arrow asked, glaring at Luthor with a renewed vigor.
Luthor, very slowly and purposely, took out a silver gun the size of his hand. He walked over to Robin and grabbed his messy raven hair. The Boy Wonder let out a whimper as the weapon was pointed at his temple.
"We…found this place while we were helping put out a fire. We decided to investigate and we got landed in this hell hole." Red Arrow replied, his eyes never leaving the gun.
"That's sad." Luthor answered, scowling. "No big fight? No last effort? Not even a great story on how you tracked Robin down to Cadmus? No wonder you're just sidekicks. This would have been so much more fun with the blue boy scout or the big bad bat."
Silence
"Nothing? No comeback? No snarky response?"
Silence
"Take them away" Luthor spat, anger rippling through his body like a tidal wave. His fun was ruined.
(Date: Saturday - Time: 14:50- Location: Somewhere in Cadmus, trapped)
All at once they were thrown into a large kryptonite laced concrete wall with blazing torches at different points across the room. Robin hit the far wall, his legs like a rag dolls. Kid Flash hit the floor below Robin and was met with the younger landing on him painfully. Aqualad and Superboy hit the middle of the floor, their limbs spread out in awkward angles. The two girls also hit a wall, the one to the left of the door. They both let out small moans as their breath was slammed away like a hammer had been thrust into their lungs. No one knew where Red Arrow had landed since as soon as they had recovered enough to look around he was already trying to help Robin.
"What the hell did they do to you?" He was asking the younger boy. The archer was literally shaking with rage.
"Oh you know the usual. Torture and interrogation and stuff." Robin answered, doing his best to smile at his older brother. That did little to soothe Red Arrow.
"They are going to die a very slow and painful death." He growled.
"Don't, I'm fine. Really. I ju-" He was cut off by a coughing fit. The noises that were created by the air scraping at the boy's throat were loud and wet, mixing in the quick gurgling noises and spasms. Small droplets of blood dropped from his lips gently as he tried to breathe again. When the ordeal was over he looked up at the rest of his team a little guiltily.
"-" Kid Flash was finally cut off by Aqualad, who put a calming hand on his shoulder.
"Robin, how long have you been coughing up blood? And how long have you lost the use of your legs for?" He asked gently and calmly.
"Only been coughing up blood since yesterday. And I lost use of my legs a few hours before you guys came. They injected me with….something. I don't know what it was. But they put it in my ankle. I thought they were injecting me with ice until I started going numb. The feelings been growing ever since."
"Even now?" Red Arrow asked. Worry and rage still battling on his face. Robin nodded. "So your saying that it's going to spread to you whole body?" Red arrow asked slowly. Robin nodded again. "Crap"
"So what are we going to do?" Kid Flash asked, somehow settling down his panic to slow his voice down enough to speak properly.
"We escape and take the bad guys down." Robin said simply, smirking.
I'm sorry this isn't the best chapter I've written and it took ages. So sorry about that. But I promise the next one will be better.
