Second Chance
Chapter 5
Hey everyone! Thanks again to lindz4567 for reviewing. So... this chapter will have lots of mental screaming, and Robin yelling at Joker in Romani. Italics means mindlink, translations will be at the end. Also, thanks to everyone who's read this story. I've seen that there are people reading this on the other side of the globe!
I STILL OWN NOTHING!
Reunion
Robin woke up to a headache the size of Ohio and M'Gann screaming in his head.
Robin! Robin, please say something!
He smirked slightly. Well, getting punched by Mammoth gives you a bigger headache than being brainblasted.
Robin? Are... are you all right?
Gee, let me think... NO, M'Gann!
What did you do to yourself THIS time?
It was SO not my fault!
Whatever, just give us your damage report.
Let's see... fractured ribs, sprained ankle, possibly broken, probably a mild concussion, as well as the aforementioned headache.
Wally mentally sighed. Is that it?
I believe so.
You're impossible.
Nais tuke. I try.
Nais tuke?
Thank you. In Romani.
You speak Romani?
Yes.
Artemis cut in. And you are switching between English and Romani because...?
Blame the concussion.
Of course.
Hey, it's not MY fault I temporarily forgot how to say thank you in English!
Why English and not Romani?
Stop making me think about the side effects of concussions.
Which is Robinese for, you have no idea.
Shut up Wally.
Just then, laughter echoed around the room.
Sheka!
Uh... what?
Never mind.
Just... ignore me. For a little while.
Thought you'd never ask.
Shut up Wally!
The Joker swaggered into the room.
"Why hello Boy Blunder, fancy seeing you here! Now, how long has it been since I last tortured you?"
Robin Bat-glared at him. "Not long enough."
Behind his back, Robin unsheathed his lockpick and began freeing his hands.
"Now... where to begin?"
Robin?
Not now.
But...
I said not now, M'Gann!
"Crowbar? Electricity? Electric crowbar?"
Robin sighed. "Te bisterdon tumare anave."
"That wasn't very nice Bird Brain."
Robin was surprised.
"Ne rakesa tu Romanes?"
"What?"
"Never mind."
The Joker pulled out a crowbar.
"Let's start with this little toy."
Robin really, REALLY hated being beaten with a crowbar. Behind the mask, his eyes slid closed as blow after blow rained down until finally, mercifully, he slipped into unconsciousness.

Robin! ROBIN!
The Team had been mentally screaming for half an hour before Robin answered.
Not so loud...
Dude, what happened?!
Let's just say this has NOT been a good day for my head...
Uh... what?
Dude, I got brainblasted, punched by Mammoth, and beaten with a crowbar, all on the same day! And I appear to be bleeding. My luck just keeps getting better...
Zatanna jumped. Beaten with a crowbar?!
Why do you think I haven't been answering for half an hour?
Robin...
Yeah KF?
Who's been beating you with a crowbar?
Take a wild guess.
Oh for fuck's sake. Not him again!
Yeah. What is it with that guy and beating me with a crowbar?
With WHAT?!
Oh yeah, you guys didn't know about that yet.
Robin...
I'm getting to it! The eternal jackass, Joker, seems to think that beating me with a crowbar every time we meet is 'funny'. He also enjoys stabbing me...
He WHAT?!
Let me finish M'Gann!
Anyhow, at least the crowbar doesn't leave any scars. Usually.
Zatanna wanted to scream.
Usually?
Hey, crowbars have surprisingly sharp edges!
Look, just tell us where you are, and we'll come get you.
It's more complicated than that...
Why does that not surprise me?
LET ME FINISH! It's more complicated than that for two reasons.
One, I think they may have moved us while I was unconscious. Twice.
Us?
And that brings me to reason number two... I... may or may not have helped found a new team of teenaged superheroes, maybe.
Wally looked interested.
Okay then, are there any girls? And if so, how many? And how hot are they?
Robin sighed. Yes, two, and I didn't notice... Sheka! Gotta go!
And just like that, Robin blocked them out. Wally sighed.
"Does he have to be a ninja in his HEAD as well?!"
Okay, done another chapter done! And another one bites the dust! You guys had better appreciate me for this! It's like, five in the morning, and I'm TIRED! If you do not review, I will hunt you down and kill you... just kidding. Mostly. Until next time! A.K.A. approximately six in the morning.
Oh, nearly forgot the translations. Te bisterdon tumare anave means may your names be forgotten, ne rakesa tu Romanes means do you speak Romani. I'm not going to translate Robin's cussing.
