Hey everybody. First I just wanted to thank all my Favoriters and Followers because that helps me so much to write these chapters. Also, before I start, I just want to say something. Wonder Woman will be making an appearance in this. The thing is, I made her more like the WW on Justice League and Justice League unlimited than the one on Young Justice. I just love Wonder Woman on those shows and I'm not really a fan of the one on Young Justice. There are many reasons why I prefer that Wonder Woman, (WonderBat action) like the fact she can make Batman do things others couldn't make Batman do. So yes, Batman and Wonder Woman like each other. Remember characters are kind of OOC. I will do the disclaimer today.
I do not own Young Justice, otherwise Kid Flash wouldn't be dead, and Phoenix would be in it from season 1.
The first thing Bruce noticed was a massive ache in his head. He could faintly hear some rustling, beeping and voices over the pounding. He didn't know where he was or how he got there, and if by some chance he was kidnapped, he didn't want to alert his captors that he was awake. As Bruce became more conscious, he felt familiar kevlar wrapped around his body, all except… my mask! He was in his Batman costume, but his mask was gone. He then decided to listen to the people in the room to see what they wanted.
"Is he going to be okay?" A familiar female voice asked. She sounded worried.
"He will be. Don't worry, Diana." Another female voice said. Bruce knew that voice, but it wasn't threatening. As Bruce's senses returned to normal, besides that annoying pain in his head, he recognized the voices as Black Canary and Wonder Woman, and considering their words and the beeping beside him, he was in the infirmary. He still wondered how he ended up in this position. Suddenly, he felt a rush of lightheadedness as everything came back to him. Him speeding through streets, the building, the distress call from Robin. He snapped open his eyes– forgetting his headache– and sat up quickly, startling the people in the room.
"Robin!" He said worriedly. Wonder Woman and Black Canary were some of the few Leaguers who got to ever see emotion from him. Gentle yet strong arms wrapped around him as his eyes adjusted to the light.
"You're okay." Wonder Woman blushed at what she did and let go of him. He brushed aside his feelings of missing the warmth from her body, and looked towards the two leaguers.
"You should lie back down. We need to check you over and make sure you're good to–" Batman interrupted Black Canary with a penetrating stare.
"–Where's Robin?" He growled. Dinah and Diana gave each other a worried look, a look that didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Flash, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Green Arrow, and the team are there at the scene looking for him and trying to stop the fire." Dinah said
"A fire?" Bruce said, a hint of anger underlapping his words. The two women knew it wasn't directly aimed at them but still internally flinched. It was never good when he was mad, even though it rarely happens. "You didn't answer the question." Diana sighed.
"We heard Robin give a call to anyone he can reach out to, but when we got there, the bottom floor was up in flames. Superman found you inside." She explained and looked down sadly. She knew she had to say the other piece of info Batman wanted so badly, but she knew it would hurt him. She took a deep breath. "There were no signs of anything alive in there. Bruce, Robin may be gone."
The fire took way longer than expected to put out. There was something wrong with it. The temperature would be cold and hot at the same time, which shouldn't be possible. Also, Kid Flash swears he saw a few flames turn blue before it turned back to its normal color. Despite the weird temperature, the fire still burnt like hell.
Four aliens were trying to see if there were any signs of life inside. Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian had there eyes closed, two fingers to their right temple. Superman was flying high, using his X-ray vision to look inside the higher floors of the building. Superboy was on the ground, checking the lower levels for anything. Superman came down and walked over to the Martians. Superboy went beside Miss Martian. Sensing their presence, they opened their eyes and their hand came down to their side. Manhunter sighed.
"There is no sense of him or anything living in the building." He said sadly. Superman looked at the ground. He was also feeling sorrowful. Robin is like a nephew to him. He knew he would never forgive himself if something happened, and now that Robin is most likely dead, he doesn't know what to do anymore.
"I couldn't find anything either." He said. They looked to the two younger people.
"I couldn't sense his presence anywhere." The female alien said. They couldn't tell what she was feeling. It worried them that for once, her emotions were unreadable.
"I couldn't find him at all." Superboy said a little distantly, his face revealing he was in thought. He turned to the green girl beside him. For a moment it seemed that Miss Martian and Superboy were telepathically communicating. "But…" The two league members looked at the duo.
"… There may be a chance he's alive." M'gann said. There was a sound of multiple sets of feet coming towards them. They turned to see Green Arrow, Flash, Artemis, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Red Arrow (when did he get here?) approach them, the building behind them no longer in flames.
"What did you say?" Kid asked her.
"There may be a chance that Robin's alive." All of their faces brightened with a little spark of hope. They needed all they could get to have their bird back with them.
"We looked inside the building for any sign of him, or anything living, but there was none there…" Superboy started. The faces went back to their depressed state, besides Connor and Megan.
"But…" She continued for him. It was kind of funny seeing their faces change back and forth. The two turned to Superman and Martian Manhunter. "You neglected the fact that there was no evidence of anything dead either. There should have been something left of his body. So…"
"…He must be out there somewhere, but we need a way to find him." Superboy finished. Everybody was kind of impressed by their logic, even Superman was a tiny bit proud of Conner. He quickly squashed that feeling and paid attention to the matter at hand.
"If Robin was alive, he would've found his way back. So that would mean–" Artemis started only to get cut off by Aqualad.
"–He is unable to and is very likely kidnapped by the person who caused this."
"You guys are forgetting something." Everyone turned to look at the stoic face of Red Arrow. "There were two screams during his call. It seems that Robin isn't the only one who's missing."
The first thing Robin noticed was that he was able to get air into his lungs. He breathed unevenly, trying to get as much oxygen as he can. Slowly, he started to realize that he wasn't suffocating in the pod anymore, but face down on the floor. He lifted his head. He saw Phoenix on the floor also, shivering, her hair that had turned a dull red was reverting back to its normal vibrant shade strand by strand. Overall, he thought that they would be okay in a few good minutes. About five minutes later, both sat up, breathing regularly and fine besides a couple of burns and hurtful frostbites.
Phoenix stood up, using the object closest to her, which happened to be her now closed pod, to stand up. She looked around, noticing the absence of a crazed man.
"Where is he?" She asked. Robin stood up too, a little shakily but okay on his part. He glanced around also but saw no speck of presence from his captor.
"Looking for me?" The two quickly turned around to apprehend the speaker. It was the crazed psychopath. Immediately the duo went into action and charged at the man. They were about to give him two hooks to the face when they suddenly found theirselves face down on the floor, a silver bracelet around each of their wrists and ankles. "Now are you going to do what I say or do you want me to put you two back in the pod and leave you there?"
The two stood up and Phoenix growled. They tried to attack him again, but all he did was stand there and smirk. When they were about to land a hit, their bracelets glowed blue and caused a burning pain in their bodies. Suddenly their hair was sticking up everywhere and they were on the floor, convulsing. Defeated for now, they both stood up weakly and shakily sighed. Phoenix powered down turning into the black-haired brown-eyed student. Robin took off his mask and revealed amazing blue eyes that belonged to the young and smart Gotham Academy student. The two looked at each other and their eyes widened in surprise. No way...
"Alexis?"
"Dick?"
OH MY GOSH! What will their reactions be? What will Robin think of his best friend as a criminal? Most will be revealed next chapter. Remember to review and I will see you next week. Bye!
