"Getting out is the priority right now," Cyborg answered, smiling at seeing his friend. Raven stepped forward, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." A black light flashed and the long cut in Robin's uniform faded till it looked weeks old. With another flash the chains around him broke and he stepped forward.
"Thanks," Robin murmured to Raven softly before turning to his mentor. "Well, how are we leaving?"
"The jet is parked on the tower, we just have to reach it." Batman spoke, his voice not showing any emotion. The group hurried through the corridors and into the hall.
"Detective, leaving so soon?" a voice called out to reveal Ra's standing with his sword drawn out. Behind him stood over 30 shadows and…
"Slade," murmured Robin. Almost as if someone flashed a green light the two groups ran towards each other. Robin and Damian facing off against Slade, surprised to find they actually worked well together. Batman engaged Ra's and the titans started on the shadows. While the heros were holding their own, but more shadows and robots came bursting in and the odds were starting to stack.
"Retreat, NOW," Batman commanded and as everyone obeyed he pressed a button on his belt. A pause and then, BOOM. The Bat-bombs planted on the walls blew collapsing the ceiling in on itself. The group hurried up the stairs and onto the roof where the batjet was waiting. Everyone hurried in and the door slammed shut as they took off. Suddenly Beastboy broke out into a breathy laugh and everyone started to smile.
"Booyah," said Cyborg.
"Glorious," Starfire exclaimed and Raven turned a page in her novel. The trip back to the cave seemed much shorter then the way there. At the base Batman, Robin and Damian stood apart from everyone else as they celebrated the successful mission.
"Will Ra's try again?" Damian asked. The dark knight sighed.
"Ra's is a determined man but for now at least he will pause and he won't try doing it this way again." Batman spoke.
"Bruce, I-" started Robin and then paused. "I'm sorry I said some of the things that I did. After leading the titans I understand that you were trying to protect me and I get that. However, I'm part of something new now. We have a city, and are a team. I'm am glad you and Damian are your own team. Goodness knows you'd brood too much otherwise." Robin said, ending with a slight smile. The dark knight let a true smile come over him and he swept his son into his arms.
"I'm glad, I love you," he whispered and then drew Damina into the hug as well much to his protests.
Robin walked back over to his team. Turning around he looked back at his mentor as he said "thank you for the help but we will be heading back to Jump. Though if you have trouble, you know who to call."
The End
