Chapter 4:
AN: sorry I kind of lied, the day after I said that I would probably update everyday for a while when I went to add another chapter my internet stopped working on my computer. So at least I have a fair excuse :/ but it seems to be working ok for the moment so here is the next chapter ;)
Red X turned to face his attacker. It was a man dressed in all black and guns strapped to his sides, he was an assassin. An assassin probably hired by someone with a lot of money and a lonely childhood. Red X chanced a glance over at Robin. Robin was in a choke hold by another assassin dressed in the same attire but it had a red stripe on the upper arm. "looks like I might get that challenge I wanted," Dick thought "even if I'd rather not make the kid part of this but it looks a little late for that…"
Red X decided the kid was his first priority, which means taking out the bigger threat first. He jumped and flipped over the first guy, nailing the other one in the face making him let go of Robin.
"That wasn't half bad," Robin commented as he came to stand next to Red X.
"Thanks kid," Red X smirked though no one could see.
Robin looked like he would argue against being a kid but was interrupted by the assassins getting back to their feet. Robin and Red X shared a look and took off towards a goon. Red X got the one with the red stripe on its uniform.
Red X played with his opponent for a minute, to feel out their style and skill. This one however, was difficult to figure out. He figured out from the design on the stripe and uniform they were some of Deathstroke's friends. But from the red stripe someone else sent them. Perhaps Deathstroke's new employer? "Well it doesn't really matter now does it?" he thought with a slight smile, it was good to be on his own.
There was one thing Dick was really great full to Deathstroke for; his training. Though it was mostly just Dick getting beat into the dirt, it did make him stronger, and more experienced, in a way. He learned how to copy moves after he saw them a few times, and now he was good at it and it really came in handy.
He flipped over his opponent and jabbed him in the back. He crumpled to the floor. Deathstroke would use that move all the time on him, he would be totally numb and paralyzed for a few hours.
He looked over at Robin who just got the wind knocked out of him from a solid punch to the gut. "Hey… that's fighting dirty… you… punk," he wheezed.
Red X used the same pressure point as the other while the goon was distracted with Robin. As the black clad assassin dropped to the floor Robin got up with a hand on his abdomen.
He gave Red X a dirty look, "I had him," he claimed.
"I'm sure you did hero," Red X teased. "What am I doing?! I'm supposed to be running from Deathstroke, not making friends with sidekicks" Robin smiled an honest smile not just a smirk. At that moment it turned from 'I shouldn't do this' to a 'oh shit…' A tall man with a black cape draped around him, his cowl was that of a bat… Dick instantly knew it must be the one and only Batman.
AN: sorry if Jason seemed like a wimp, but it will get better later and I will try to make better fight scenes.
