Robin crouched down behind a computer. He turned to the person next to him.
"You're Wondergirl, right?& he panted quietly to the girl next to him.
"Yeah," she whispered as she nodded.
"Any idea what we're up against?"
"All I know is that it stays in the shadows. It can eat through anything apparently. Even Superman was injured."
"Does it have a corporeal form?"
"I don't think so. If it does I didn't see it."
"Dang it." Robin pause, &Did you get a good look at that symbol on the middle of the floor?&
"Yes, I did; why?"
"Draw it for me, in the air."
Giving him a strange look, Wondergirl complied, tracing the symbol in front of her. Robin cursed under his breath.
"What idiot- Who drew that on the floor in red paint?"
"I don't know. What is it? What's going on, Robin?"
"It's a summoning symbol for the Daeva, the shadow demons. The Vashta Nerada. They are the shadows.
"Demons?" Wondergirl exclaimed.
"Yep." Robin rummaged through his utility belt.
"How do we stop them?"
"We're gonna need a magician and an extreme light source."
"Zatarra and Green Lantern?" Wondergirl asked.
"They'll do. Let's go, and whatever you do, don't touch the shadows." Robin pulled out a high powered lantern of some sort. "Follow me." He started down the hall of the computer room heading to the sun room. The sun room was the only safe room left in the building. From there they would Zeta out and then to the watch tower. Hopefully, Zatarra would be able to cast the appropriate spell to bind the Daeva. Robin did his best to ignore the whisperings of the Vashta Nerada as they journeyed the abandonded building. It was like a library. It was simply called 'The Database'. It contained all known information about all supervillains and superhero's. It was a dimensionally transdescendant box that only the Justice League knew about.
"This is so creepy. How can the shadow's talk?" Wondergirl shivered, "What are they even saying?"
"You probably don't want to know." Robin turned the corner. "Watch out for that shado-"
he was cut off by a scream. He whirled around. "Wondergirl!" there was nothing but a skeleton left.
"You're next Boy Wonder." the shadows hissed.
"You killed her."
"We were invited here. Killing is what we do. We must eat."
"Don't play games with me, you just killed someone I liked; that is not a safe place to stand. I'm Robin, and you're in the biggest superhero database in the universe. Look me up." Robin seethed. The shadows fell silent. Robin whirled and pressed on. He reached the Zeta and typed in the coorddinates for the Watchtower.
^^^^AT THE WATCHTOWER^^^^
&Robin B;01.& the mechanical voice rang out through the cavernous room.
"Oh thank God." Black Canary breathed as the boy stepped off f the Zeta platform.
"Robin, are you okay?" Aqualad inquired, stepping forward from where the rest of the team was waiting in a corner. The raven haired teen ignored the Atlantian, going straight to Batman.
"It's a Daeva." Robin reported dutifully, no traces of his usual smirk. "We'll need Zatarra and a light source. Green Latern should be able to produce one. I know the spell to banish the demon."
"Go tell Zatarra." Batman spun about and went tto find Green Lantern.
"What about Wondergirl?" Wonder Woman stepped forward.
"She's dead. I'm sorry Diana." Robin looked at the floor. "I didn't warn her about the shadow in time." he disappeared as Diana looked away.
"How does Robin know a spell to get rid of shadow demons?" Wally asked.
^^^^Scene change^^^^
" And just how do you know a spell to get rid of shadow demons?" the magician asked the masked 13 year old.
"Couple of associates from Kansas." Robin answered succinctly, "Can you do it?"
"Yes."
"Good, you and Green Lantern will be going in soon" Robin disappeared once more. Zatarra shook his head and walked towards the Zeta platform. Batman found the acrobat in the rafters.
"You okay?"
"Not really; but right now it doesn't matter, we need to figure out who drew the summoning symbol."
""You did a good job, Robin."
"No, I didn't. I just did what you taught me," Robin paused, "Well, you and the Winchesters."
"Come on, let's go find whoever summoned the Daeva."
A/N: So, second installment, and I'm sorry about the Supernatural reference, I couldn't help myself. This quote was from Forest of the Dead, it is the line 'You just killed someone Iiked, that is not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor and you're standing in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up'.
The last chapter's quote was from teh episode 'the Pandorica opens'
Review please, let me know what you think, or what quote you think I should do next.
