Yo, I still don't own Young Justice. Neither does Iridium, or Carson, or any of my other muses.

Outside a chemical plant run by LexCorp, Robin's eyes were narrowed as he stared at Scarecrow and Scarecrow stared at him.

"So you decided to show up," the masked master of fear pointed out.

"Yep. What about you? What are you doin' all the way out here at a quarter to midnight?" Robin was stalling as he waited for his sonic birdarang to prime. It would knock out whoever it hit, with just soundwaves. He quite liked it. Soundwaves could be very destructive when given enough punch power.

"Preparing another diabolical plot to enslave Gotham to fear. You?" Scarecrow was actually playing Robin's little game… weird.

"Preparing to stop said diabolical plot," the Boy Wonder replied.

"Fun," Scarecrow grinned sadistically. "Let's just hope you can see straight enough to run away!" A hissing sound split the air, and Robin stifled a curse as he grabbed some normal birdarangs, throwing them into the fog of the fear gas, very carefully not breathing until he grabbed his rebreather and shoved it in his mouth.

Being on the receiving end of a diabolical cackle was a little different than being the one giving the diabolical cackle. Robin now had a fair amount of respect for those who don't cower under his cackle.

A hand hit the back of his head, and flipping around, he faced… Killer Crock?

"Ah man, why do all the baddies have to be working together now?" Robin complained, flipping away from the mutant only to hit a hard wall.

"Quite right, Bird Boy. It is time for you to see the Light," Bane's voice wafted out from behind the Gothamite. A rag smelling of chloroform slipped over his mouth and nose after the rebreather was pulled from his face. Robin barely had time to hit the emergency button on his communicator before the need to breathe overpowered his will.

Robin slowly came to, tied to a chair with wire. His belt, boots, and gloves were all missing. Luckily, his mask was still in place- but probably not for long.

"So can I? Can I?" The captive stiffened as the creepily childish voice of Klarion the Witch Boy screeched into his ears.

"No," the stern voice of Lex Luthor made Robin even more scared, and that was a fairly difficult feat.

"Aw, you kill joy," the chaos Lord sounded disappointed.

"I am not a kill joy, I just desire our captive alive," Luthor replied, moving into Robin's sight- he hadn't been blindfolded. "It appears as though our little hero is awake. Let's get started, shall we?"

Kaldur awoke from where he had been sleeping in his room to the beeping of an emergency beacon. The holoscreen had popped up, and a red dot was blinking in Gotham, next to the river. It was Robin's signal- the teen had run into trouble. The beacon was only there for a moment before going out, but Kaldur saw enough, quickly awakening M'gann, M'aax and Conner.

"Uh? Kal? What's going on?" M'aax was still half asleep, rubbing his eyes.

"Robin's emergency beacon popped up. Artemis is still out of commission, Wally is patrolling Central, Roy is off the map, Virgil's father grounded him, and Zatanna is still working. We are going to have to be the ones to scope the area out," Kaldur informed.

"I thought you were benching him," Superboy asked, confused.

"He ignored me," the Atlantian replied.

"Well, if he's in danger, we've got to help him!" M'gann worriedly gushed.

"Ms. Manhunter, prep the bioship. We are going to Gotham," Aqualad ordered.

"Sweet! We get to see Robin's city!" Young Manhunter looked more excited about this than he should.

Lex Luthor walked out of the room the Light was holding Robin in. Vandal Savage was there, looking curious.

"Luthor, have you made any progress?" The immortal asked, looking the bald billionaire in the eye.

"Yes. Slowly but surely, he will be made to see the light," Lex replied, blue eyes glinting deviously.

"Good, good. I believe we should let Slade take a chop at him, hm?" Vandal looked at Luthor through questioning eyes.

"I think not. We want the boy as an assassin, not a vegetable," Lex suggested.

"True. Continue when you feel the boy can handle it," Savage ordered, walking off.

"Oh, yes my bird-boy, we will have much fun together," Luthor murmured, looking over his shoulder at the door concealing the Boy Wonder's bloody form. The nearly unconscious bird was cursing Lex in the way only he could- in mixed Romani, English, Turkish, German, and Indonesian. Yes, knowing multiple languages had the perk of being able to insult someone without them knowing.

"Aqualad, I don't want to say this, but this is useless. Robin isn't here," Ms. Manhunter pointed out.

"Fine. We will notify the rest of the Team when they return to the Mountain. For now, we must return there as well," Aqualad ordered, watching Young Manhunter stifle a yawn.

"I can keep searching," Superboy offered, not wanting to give up quite then.

"Nay. We need our sleep," Aqualad countered.

"Fine," the clone huffed, crossing his arms over his chest while returning to the bioship.

"Do not worry. We will not leave him," Aqualad reassured him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Coulda convinced me otherwise," he grumbled as they left the Dark City.

Yes, Robin is kidnapped. He will probably be kidnapped several other times in this story- and, well, yes. I'm also working on another story now because a Plot Bunny named Ted attacked me. Everyone, say hi to Ted. Ted, say hi to everyone.

Ted: Hi.

And that's Ted.

Jason: Hey at least Ted won't kill me off!

Me: You don't know that.

Tim: Actually, there is a very high chance that neither Ted or the Plot Bunny for Rise in Revolution will kill him off. I think you like him.

Me: I do not!

Wally: No, really. You do.

Me: -sighs-. I just can't get a break. Anyway, Ted's story shall be titled either Them Against the World or Us Against the World. So far I think it's mostly gonna be told in Roy's POV- there's a little in Raquel's POV in the first chapter so far.
