A/N Dedication for this chapter goes to... Siarey13!
Congrats, Siarey13!
Siarey13 - You forgot about Artemis... Unless, you're not going to include her into the story? Also, I choose #1. Hopefully in time, the three boys will learn to bond with each other, becoming brothers-in-arms and family (maybe along with the team once they join forces with them).
Ok, so, Artemis. I'm not including her YET, but she will have a major part later in the story. Remember how on the show, she only showed up after Roy stopped being Speedy and became Red Arrow? That right there should tell you that I can't include her at the beginning.
Yes, Roy, Wally, and Dick will bond, BUT, they will bond just the three of them, while distrusting the members of the Team, until they (The members of the Team) prove themselves.
Chapter 4
After Roy and Wally had discovered that Robin had told the truth about the magic protecting the 'Batcave', and that he knew the basics, they hadn't stopped asking him questions about the Resistance.
That is, until Robin asked them who was going to have first watch. This caused Roy and Wally to look at each other, one redhead confused, and the other knowing that he was going to have a long night.
"Watch?" Wally asked, confusion evident on his face. "I thought that watch was to make sure nothing harmful happens to yourself. What happened to the magic?"
"Yeah." Robin said, "But the magic doesn't cover everything. I mean, bandits have wandered in here by accident before. Magic can't kick them out if they're already here. Besides, Batman and I have always had a sneaking suspicion that someone else is in here, and has been for a few years.
"Now, first watch will get tired first, because they're awake while the others are asleep. Second watch won't get tired as fast, and have reasonable amount of sleep before and after watch. Third watch will have to be able to function quickly, as bandits tend to wander in the most during that period of time, and will be more tired by nighttime because they were up first."
"I'll take second watch." Wally voluntered. "Roy over here'll take the first watch." Robin nodded.
"So I'm taking last watch." He murmured. "Alright, but be warned, I'm a light sleeper. When you wake me up I'll probably judo flip you before being completely awake." Wally paled, but nodded without changing the plan.
Robin laid down and closed his eyes, and Wally did the same, and within minutes both of them were asleep.
As Robin had warned Wally, when the speedster shook him awake, Robin grabbed Wally's wrists and judo flipped him into the wall, and within a second had a birdarang against Wally's throat.
"Dude!" Wally said, and Robin climbed off.
"Sorry." He said, "I shoulda told you I'm extra jumpy in the mornings." He gace Wally a small grin.
"It's alright." Wally said, "From what I've heard from my uncle the White Witch always hunted Batman down the hardest, and the two of you couldn't have been able to spend every night in here."
"We didn't." Robin replied. "Sometimes we were found, sometimes we weren't. I was trained to be able to defend myself even if I was sleeping when I was found."
"You must have had a hard life." Wally said, already laying down to go to sleep. "Get us up in the morning, Robin."
"You can shorten my name, KF." Robin replied, a small smile on his face as he watched the slightly older boy drift off to sleep.
When Roy and Wally woke up, Robin was nowhere to be found. They looked around the cave (that they could see without moving).
"Um... Rob?" Wally said, "You still here?" A moment later Robin walked back from a tunnel in the cave with some food.
"Yeah, I was just grabbing some food since I knew the two of you would be getting up soon." He replied. "So, I just got some of everything from the cellar."
"How does the food not go bad?" Roy asked.
"Alfred." Robin said, "And don't ask how he does it, but he makes these things that he calls 'cookies', and they taste like heaven."
"How would you know what heaven is like?" Wally asked, skeptically. Robin looked at Wally, waiting.
"Perhaps you would like to try one?" A voice behind Wally said, and the speedster spun around, already annoyed at Robins hysterical laughter. Wally looked at the elderly man in front of him, offering cookies. After watching him for a moment, Wally decided to grab a cookie before running over next to Speedy.
"Oh my gosh." Robin laughed. "Your reaction... Classic... My gosh Alfred, did you see the panicked look on his face?"
"Yes I did, Master Robin." Alfred said. "And I chose to refrain from ridiculous behavior, like insane laughter. You forget about the White Witch's favorite enforcerer of her power."
"Which one of the three?" Robin asked, "Count Vertigo, Ra's Al Gual, Heat Wave, or the Joker?"
"The Joker, sir." Alfred said, offering Roy a cookie. "The opponent you and Master Batman have fought on several occasions."
"Of course." Robin muttered, suddenly completely serious. "You find anything on his current whereabouts?"
"Unfortunately, no, sir." Alfred said, ignoring the furious look on Robins face. "And before you suggest the three of you go after him, I believe your time would be better spent following Master Batmans advice. Get a team together."
"But if we can find Joker, we might be able to find Batman!" Robin protested. "And..."
"I understand, Master Robin." Alfred said, "But I believe getting a team together might take a bit more importance as the White Witch is finally starting to find some members of the Resistance?"
"Yes." Robin sighed. "I suppose your right. Who can we find first? Who can we get to the fastest? Give me a list, please Alfred."
"By terms of who you need to find first, sir?" Alfred asked. "Give me a moment to form such a list, sir."
"Ok, Alfie." Robin said, looking at the ceiling.
"First, Aqualad, Kaldur'ahm." Alfred said, and Robin nodded. "Second, Miss Martian, M'ggan Morzz. Third, Superboy, Connor Kent*. Third, Zatanna Zatara. Fourth, Rocket, Raquel Ervin."
"Got it." Robin said. "Anyone else?"
"There are, possibilities." Alfred admitted. "But, unfortunately, as of right now, I am not sure if it would be wise to add them to your team."
"Understood, Alfred." Robin said with a nod. "Could you write a list of directions to them?"
"Of course I can, sir." Alfred said, setting the cookies down, and grabbing a pencil and paper.
An hour later
Robin looked at the building that Aquaman and Aqualad were currently trapped in. The boy was now glad he'd sent Kid Flash and Speedy ahead to get Miss Martian while he found Aqualad.
By telling them that they needed to gather the others as fast as possible, he'd actually helped himself and them, and probably Aqualad. Because he could travel faster on his own, he'd arrived just in time to see Aqualad and Aquaman get captured by the Joker.
The Joker, who just happened to be the person he was looking for. Because if the Joker was around, then the chances were more likely that he'd be lead to Bruce. And if he found Bruce, Robin wasn't sure what he'd do.
If he'd continue following the mission Bruce had given him, or if he'd drop everything to save his mentor. What would he do to save his mentor?
Robin leapt silently from tree to tree, slowly getting closer, looking for a gap between the White Witches patrols. For a weakness. The patrols always kept each other in their sight, but there was one spot where a patrol would not be seen by the one behind it, a slight possibly three-second gap.
Robin dropped onto the ground, and, staying hidden, readied his weapons, before launching himself out of the shadows as the next group passed him, quickly knocking them out (he didn't have the time to kill them) and got into the building as the previous patrol came across the unconcious patrol ahead of them.
"Someone got in!" He heard someone behind and below him yell. "Raise the alarm!" Robin drifted into the shadows and cautiously snuck through the warehouse until he found the unconscious and bound forms of Aqualad and Aquaman.
"Orin, Kaldur'ahm." Robin whispered. "I'm going to try to get you out, but it won't work unless your conscious. Aqualad stirred, and Robin thought he saw Aquaman move slightly.
"Who is there?" Aqualad asked quietly, maintaining the impression of beind unconscious.
"Robin." The boy wonder replied. "We're getting out of here. Do you have any injuries?" There was a slight pause as the Alantean thought.
"Nothing that will hinder me fron fighting." Robin rolled his eyes at the respectful, et threatening tone Aqualad had just given him, but chose not to point it out.
"Listen, it'll be a few minutes, and I need to lead them away from you." Robin said, before asking. "Do you trust me enough to let me leave for a but so you can get out?" Aqualad didn't respond, and Robin, currently behind him, placed something in his hand.
"What is this?" Aqualad asked.
"When you don't hear anything for thirty second, footsteps included, cut through your bonds." Robin said, "Make sure you and Aquaman get to saftey. If you get out, I'll meet you a mile and a half to the east."
"Understood." Aqualad replied, fist tightening around Robin's birdarang. "Do you have any backup?"
"Not here." Robin said, "Not except for you. Good luck, I'm going to do whatever I can to get the two of you out, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Aqualad replied. "Good luck, Robin." Robin sent a final look at Aqualad, before drifting away, looking for his arch nemesis.
