Chapter 6
Last chapter was a very long one haha. Oh yeah and Robin was kidnaped by Tony. Haha let's see what happens between Mariko Miko and Robin. Not much to say sorry. ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
"Kya! You did good for me again Tony!" Mariko shouted looking at the incapacitated Robin in tony's arms. Mariko then frowned, "What'd you do drop a building on him?"
"Uhm Sorta." Tony said. Mariko frowned.
"Alright put him in there and strip him of that belt; if he's anything like Batman it'd be best if he didn't have it." She said pointing to a large containment chamber, "Oh this is just exciting!"
Tony sighed as he hoisted the unconscious hero into the chamber with ease. He then looked to his dog Yukie who whimpered and wagged her tail at him.
"I know what you're thinking Yukie; but it's not like that." He said then dug into his pocket to retrieve the Baterang and necklace he had stolen. The then looked to his dog, "Yukie you're a girl which would you prefer?"
Yukie barked at him wagging her tail happily. Tony chuckled.
"Right; female dogs and female—er girls aren't the same." He sighed. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him.
"What cha got there Tony?" Mariko asked, Tony jumped realizing that it wasn't Klarion like he had originally suspected, but Mariko standing on her tip-toes to see over his shoulder. Tony blushed.
"S-souvenirs?" he mumbled, holding the two items up. Mariko looked at them and completely ignored the necklace and went for the weapon.
"You're kidding me! You got one of Robin's weapons—I mean yes you got him entirely—which is good—this just rocks!" she shouted taking the weapon from Tony's hand leaving the necklace behind. Tony sighed and looked to Yukie.
"Any chance you want this Yukie girl?" He asked Yukie jumped onto her hind legs and barked, making Tony laugh, "Somehow I thought you might; you're a spoiled little mutt aren't cha girl?"
Tony then placed the chocker around his dog's neck, and smiled, even if he had originally got it for Mariko his dog wore it nicely too. Mariko looked over to Tony and his dog and smiled.
"O-oh yeah by the way Miss Mariko," He asked, Mariko narrowed her eyes.
"Yes? What is it?" She asked, looking over her new toy. Tony looked down at his arm where Robin's boomerang had been stuck in him.
"Robin threw that at me—which is how I got that thing in the first place—it got stuck in my arm but I didn't feel anything." He explained, Mariko turned and placed a hand on her hip.
"Well of course; I turned off your pain receptors. You know the things that tell your brain you've been hurt." She said, "I can also use turn it way on to the point where the slightest touch can feels like someone's sticking you with a knife—hopefully I'll never have to use that on you."
"O-oh…kay…I'll try to stay on your good side." Tony said. Suddenly Robin began to stir in his pod, Mariko grinned and tossed her souvenir over her shoulder.
"Ugh, what…happened?" Robin asked, then realized he wasn't with the Team anymore, but instead with Mariko and Tony. "Mariko?"
"Oh good you're awake!" Mariko shouted leaning against the pod. "It's about time; I've been wanting to get my hands on you for some time."
Robin glared as he remembered what happened; he had nearly been blown up because of a surprise from Tony. Now he was face to face with a grinning Mariko Miko.
"What do you want?" He hissed. Mariko narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"You don't know this but you did something no one in the world has ever been able to do." She said coyly. Robin frowned, "You managed to hack my computers!"
Robin stared.
"You're the one behind that?!" He said astonished; never in his wildest dreams did he think this person behind all that was a fifteen year old girl. Mariko nodded and took a bow.
"Yes I am the genius behind a system you hacked; Mariko Miko—at your service." She said then looked up at Robin, "Welcome to my lab."
Robin looked around at his surroundings; what Mariko called her labs looked more like a regular teen punk's bedroom, complete with an electric guitar with a V shaped frame sitting against an amplifier.
"So what did you bring me here so you could kill me? Or are you trying to figure out how it is I was able to hack you?" He asked glaring at Mariko, who seemed offended by his question. She turned and crossed her arms.
"I wondered that same thing not too long ago when you first broke into my last home in metropolis—oh by the way I gotta say I just love Gotham—thank you ever so much for forcing me to move!" She said the last part practically dripping with sarcasm, "I should kill you for that alone. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find original Japanese DVD's in Gotham! At least in Metropolis they had some cool shops."
"Miss Mariko; I think you're going off topic." Tony whispered Mariko huffed.
"I know that stupid!" she shouted, then looked to Robin and walked closer to his container. "Then after some thought I got curious; 'Who was this person who managed to sabotage my security and set my systems back by even a few minutes?' I thought to myself."
Robin gave Mariko a look with a mixture of confusion and a look that showed he was trying to figure out if she was crazy or not. Mariko grinned and pressed herself against the glass of his pod.
"Then I thought how interesting it would be to meet you; after all you did manage to break into my computers, and it was interestingly difficult to counter hack yours." She said, "So I invented this on the fly plan to draw you out and capture you!"
"What the heck for?" Robin shouted, Mariko grinned.
"Because, dear Robin," She said, "I, Mariko Miko; of sound mind and judgment—who is usually against such trivial things—have fallen in love with you!"
Tony's features drooped as he heard the worlds that came out of Mariko's mouth. He then glared at Robin for a brief moment noticing his slightly disgusted look towards Mariko's confession. He turned around and walked off, past his dog, who yipped and followed close on his heels.

"What happened?" Miss Martian asked as she and Super-boy came out of their spot. They were to stay there in case something happened. Super-boy frowned.
"Where's Robin?" He asked. the others looked around. There was no sign of Tony or Robin.
"That kid just disappeared with him." Kid said.
"How could they both have disappeared? Like that?" Superboy asked, The others shrugged they had no idea.
"Could they have teleported? You know like Klarion always does?" Artemis asked, Zatanna shook her head.
"No way." She said, "I didn't sense any kind of aura around the boy to show he was capable. However I think Klarion might have a hand in this in some way."
"Great, so what now? There's no way we could figure out where that kid could have gone with Robin." Artemis said.
"Calm down; there's got to be some way we can find him. Zatanna isn't there some kind of tracking or, something you can use to find him?" Kid asked, Zatanna shook her head.
"Well there is one thing; if done right I could take us all to wherever Robin is—but there's no way I'd be able to. Like I said before; I'm just not on Zatara's level." She said, kidflash walked over to Zatanna and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Right now we need that spell—Robin needs that spell." He said. Zatanna nodded.
"R-right; ekat su ot nibor!" she shouted, suddenly a bolt of energy beamed down and the Team disappeared. Meanwhile higher up in the mall Klarion sat with Teekl on the broken ledge.
"Oh things are starting to get interesting." He said Teekl meowed up at Klarion who pouted. "I guess we could go warn her."

"Lady you're insane." Robin said, Mariko frowned.
"I'm not insane! I'm a genius! There's a difference!" she shouted, then sighed to calm herself as she turned around and sat down at her computer desk, "Anyway it's not like you can say anything more about it anyhow; as soon as I tell Savage-sama that I've gone and captured you, I'll be able to do whatever I want with you."
"I'd delay that thought if I were you." Klarion's voice said above her.
"Oh Jigoku-Shonen so nice of you to finally show up again; what do you mean delay that?" Mariko asked looking up at the Witch-boy. Klarion smirked.
"In a few minutes you're not gonna have time to contact Vandal." He said, Mariko frowned.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean." She hissed. Suddenly there was a loud bang behind her. She turned to see a group of teen heroes. There was a slight pause as they all stood staring at each other in disbelief.
"Well this is awkward." Mariko mumbled, she then got up and ran for her controls.
"Who's she?" Zatanna asked, Mariko grinned.
"Mariko Miko the smartest girl alive, not that it really matters; you'll be dead soon anyway." She said.
"Don't let her press that button." Robin shouted; though none of them knew what they did, he knew that it couldn't be pleasant. Super-boy growled and ran after Mariko who let out a yelp of surprise as she dodged and Super-boy smashed her desk.
"You brut! You smashed my computer!" She screamed, as she pressed a button and a bolt of electricity hit Super-boy. He let out a growl of pain as he went down, Mariko laughed.
"Ha. All brawn, no brains. What I'd expect from a guy cloned from Super-man and Lex Luthor." She said kicking the boy of steal in the head.
"Don't you touch him!" Miss Martian shouted using her telekinetic abilities to levitate Mariko away from Super-boy, while Kidflash stole her controller remote.
"HEY! That's mine!" Mariko shouted, "Klarion why don't you make yourself useful and do a little pest control!?"
"This isn't my battle." Klarion said then dematerialized and disappeared, Mariko growled.
"Why you no good Jigoku-Shonen! Doushite Shinde Miru!" she shouted, while Zatanna and Artemis figured out how to get Robin out.
"What's with that girl?" Artemis asked, Robin made a face.
"Kaerb nepo kcol!" Zatanna shouted breaking open the pod Robin was in. Mariko screamed.
"Tony! Get your cyborg butt out here!" she shouted. Just then a net shot out towards Miss Martian, capturing her and making her drop Mariko. She screamed only to be caught by Tony. Mariko let out a growl of frustration.
"And where have you been?" She shouted grabbed Tony's cheek between her thumb and forefinger and pulled.
"Ow, sorry Miss Mariko; I was somewhere else." He said, Mariko huffed.
"Obviously; now hurry up and get them!" She ordered. Tony nodded and set Mariko down on the ground.
"Yes Miss Mariko." He said then glared at the others as Super-boy stood, regaining his senses.
"That little brat electrocuted me." He growled, then glared at Tony who raised his arm at eye level.
"No hard feelings gang; but I really don't want to make her angry." He said as a loud humming sound came from the palm of his hand and a laser beam shot out. Zatanna put up a shield just in time to deflect the beam.
"Hmph Klarion would have come in real handy for this." Mariko huffed then shrugged, "Oh well, Tony I believe you'll be needed a bit of help. SECURITY!"
Suddenly there was a loud crash as the group was ambushed by a duo of cyborgs. The group stared, they were two women scantily dressed in anime-like outfits covering only certain areas. Mariko smirked.
"How do you like my first two human experiments; they aren't as good as Tony-boy here. They don't have much of a freewill Yaknow?" She asked, "But let me tell ya; they can really pack enough of a punch to get rid of you guys. Akuma*! Shinigami*! Kill the intruders."
"Hai, oujo-sama." The duo said in unison. As they attacked the Team, Super-boy managed to grab one of them and throw them into the wall.
"Etatival!" Zatanna shouted levitating the other.
"Miss Mariko; while they're distracted, maybe we should escape." Tony murmured to Mariko, who growled.
"Oh! Savage-sama isn't going to like this. Not at all!" she grumbled, "Alright Tony; let's go."
"Not so fast!" Robin shouted throwing two capsules at the duo, one of which short circuited Tony and the other trapped Mariko's feet in foam.
"What the heck is this crap!?" She shouted struggling to get free, the group glared at her.
"You're in a lot of trouble, kid." Kidflash said darkly. Mariko glared.
"Oh please you people don't scare me." She hissed, "So what now; ya gonna take me to your higher ups to figure out what the Light's planning?"
"Well, er, yeah." Kid said, Mariko growled.
"Oh joy; I get to meet the head of the idiot patrol." She grumbled as Robin placed a pair of cuffs on around her wrists. Mariko smirked.
"Looks like I get to spend more time with my favorite little hero. Eh Robin baby?" she said with a wink. Robin made a face and turned around to the group.
"Super-boy can you handle zippy here?" He asked, Super-boy nodded, making Mariko pout.
"You're no fun Robin-kun." She huffed, "No fun at all."
"Ugh, can someone shut her up." Artemis growled, she was a little annoyed with Mariko's mouth. Miss Martian nodded then brain blasted her, knocking the girl out.
Mariko and Tony have been taken by the Team. Haha what will happen now? Well you'll just have to find out wont cha? (*) Akuma means Demon, and Shinigami is a god of death, kinda like a Grim Reaper for Japan I guess. See you later armadillos—unless I see you first haha! Review!
