Robin stared at the intercom as if he said it was raining gummy bears outside. He could bring his parents back to life?
"You can bring them back?"
"Yes Robin. I can. You see, I have been working on experiments over my 3 month period. I found a way to bring a person back to the living. Or in this case persons."
"You're lying!"
"Cross my heart and hope to die, boy wonder. This is a one time deal too. Just a little tidbit for you to think about. Bring Fourth The Fire!"
With that, the containers started to glow a dark red and started to catch on fire. Robin didn't know what to do. He saw them trying to say something to him, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. Robin's head was spinning. On one hand , he wanted to save the League, but on the other, he missed his parents so much.
"Richard." a female voice said in his head. He recognized that voice anywhere,
"Mom."
"Yes Richard. It's us." a male voice said.
"Dad?"
"Richard, you need to listen to us. You can't listen to Adam." Mary said.
"I miss you so much. Wait how are you talking to me?"
"We miss you too, but this is not the time. Now we can't stay for much longer, but we need to tell you that you can't save us." John pleaded.
"Why not? You didn't deserve to die in the first place."
"We know that, but neither do they. We've lived our lives. If they die, there families will go through what you went through. Do you really what that Richard?" Mary asked.
"No."
"Now we only have a few seconds let, but we just want to let you know how proud we are of you." John said.
"Yes we are. Now Richard. You're a smart boy. We don't need to tell you what to do. I know you'll make the right chose. We love you Richard." Mary said.
"Never forget that. We live on in you. Make us proud, son." John said. The voices faded away and they were gone.
Robin let a tear slip down his face. He looked up and saw the League growing weaker. He looked at Bruce as he pressed his hand against the glass of the container as sweat poured from under his cowl. Dick stared at his adopted father and turned to his parents' coffins. Robin looked at the clock. 30 seconds left. Dick pressed his hand against the glass not caring that it burned his hand through his gloves. Robin looked at the red button and pressed it. The flames enlarged in his parents' containers and diminished in the other containers. It only took seconds before the flames completely engulfed the coffins. The last thing Dick saw was Mary Grayson on the coffin before it was covered in flames. Robin sank to his knees and cried until the key fell to the ground. He rushed to get it and ran to the glass cages and unlocked them with 3 seconds to go. The bottom of the container dropped and the League fell to the ground. He was relieved when he saw J'onn was breathing.
"Smart boy. I thought you would fall for that. Oh, look at the time. It's 11:55 pm. 5 minutes to go. Time for your final test."
Robin disappeared along with the Justice League and they reappeared in an empty room. There was one window that showed the moon and stars, but that was it.
"Hello Robin." Shadow Walker said stepping from the shadows. He had something in his hand.
"What do you want?" Robin growled through his tears.
"Simple. I need to give you your final test and this is it."
Adam handed Robin the dark package and some Leaguers were starting to gain consciousness including Batman.
"Open it."
Robin did as told and stared at what was in front of him.
"You know what you have to do." Adam said walking away from the boy.
Batman's vision was starting to clear when he heard a loud pop that snapped him out of it immediately. Bruce looked up and saw Shadow Walker smiling.
"Revenge is sweet Dark Knight. Very sweet."
Bruce looked down and turned as pale as a ghost.
"RICHARD!"
Robin was laying on the ground with a hole in his vest and a 9mm gun in his hand.
Sorry, I told you this was going to be sad. Don't hate me, there is a reason behind this. Please review! =)
