Complications
Robin's POV
I head towards the botanical gardens after Gordon told my Poison Ivy had broken out of Arkham. This was one of her common hangouts. I had already checked her greenhouses and the police had checked out the park. I grapple onto the building and climb in through an open window. I drop to the ground with the smallest of sounds and immediately conceal myself in the shadows. I peek around the tree I'm hiding behind and spot Poison Ivy making her plants grow. I ready a batarang but before I can throw it a familiar voice sounds from behind me.
"No, no, no Bird Boy now's not the time for those pointy things" says the voice followed by the villains signature laugh. I spin around to confirm my suspicions and sure enough I see the Clown Prince himself even though he was supposed to still be locked up. Just then my emergency communicator for Gordon rings.
"Robin Joker has just broken out of Arkham we are currently looking or him now" he informs me.
"Well stop searching" I say dryly "I found him and Poison Ivy" I say while dodging a knife thrown by Joker. I duck behind another plant
"Where are you?" I open my mouth to reply but before I can a strong fist hits me sending me flying into the open. The communicator falls out of my hands and slides far out of my reach.
"Nice shot Blackie" Joker laughs as my attacker, now identified as Black Adam steps out into the light.
"It's about time you showed up Little Robin" Poison Ivy says as she uses a vine to crush my communicator. "We've all been waiting for you" she says gesturing her arms widely. Suddenly Wotan, Ultra-Humanite, Count Vertigo, and Atomic Skull appear at her side most likely hidden by an invisibility spell courtesy of Wotan. Atomic Skull shoots his head laser at me forcing me to dive out of the way.
"Not good, not good at all" I mutter to myself dodging a punch from Black Adam quickly followed by an attack from Poison Ivy which I flip to dodge.
"Come on Red you can do better than that" Joker yells pulling out his two knives and lunging at me. I manage to dodge him but Ultra- Humanite shoots his gun at me and grazes my shoulder. I bite back a swear and dodge Wotan's spell of lightning. I quickly duck behind a bush panting slightly. "Here Birdie, Birdie come on out" Joker laughs manically. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way but I hope you pick the hard way it's so much more fun" I quickly bandage my shoulder and then I'm forces to flip out of the way as Black Atom crashes through the bushes and punches a crater into the ground where I was a moment before. I run right into Count Vertigo who uses his headgear bring me to the ground with dizziness. Joker walks over laughing bringing out his knife. I know I have to think fast and grab a batarang as Joker approaches. I throw it at Count Vertigo throwing of his concentration and roll out of the way as Joker stabs downward with a knife where I was. I jump to my feet but stumble slightly due to my earlier injury. This allows Ivy to nail me with her vines where they cut into my flesh but I manage to grab a batarang before my arms are constricted. One wraps particularly tight around my hurt ankle and I hear a snap from my ankle. I let out a hiss of pain and quickly cut through the vines. I fall to the ground my broken ankle not supporting me and fall on my left arm earning another crack and curse. I pull out my grappling hook and launch it to pull myself away from the villains. I hid in the shadows and look over my injuries.
"Crap I'm going to need some help if I want to get out of this alive" I think to myself and grab my communicator and use my wrist computer to quickly send my coordinates to the Cave.
"Kid Flash here" comes Wally's cheery voice from the device.
"Kid I need help. Bats is off world…" I start cursing how weak my voice sounded.
"Rob dude are you alright? Where are you?" Wally replies loudly worry evident in his voice. I wince at his volume.
"I already sent the coordinates and no I'm not really alright but that doesn't matter right now. I need you guys to hurry not sure how much longer I can last." I start knowing I'll be found soon so I try to warn the team about the extra danger. "And watch out for Poison Ivy and…" I try to say but Ivy's vines wrap around me earning a pained gasp. The communicator is thrown from my hand and crushed under Atom's large foot. Joker steps out besides me and smiles bringing his knife up near my face.
"Time for some fun" he laughs slashing my face just above my left eye. He brings up the knife again but a vine slaps it away.
"You idiot we need him alive" hisses Ivy catching my attention with her words. I narrow my eyes why do they need me alive I wonder.
"Lighten up Red I was only gonna have a little fun" Joker whines but backs off. Ivy moves in front of me and holds out her hand. I see a pale pink powder in it and recognize it as her mind control spores.
"Uh oh" is all have time to think before she blows the powder into my face and I lose all feeling and control of my body.
Again everyone I'm so sorry for the late update but I hope you enjoyed the chapter anyway as always please…
