Once Robin was topside he called his best friend and fellow Team member.
"Hey-" was all the teen on the other end could manage before Robin cut him off. It was clear the younger boy was in a hurry.
"KF I need you to meet me in Gotham. Don't tell the rest of the Team. I'll meet you at the Zeta-Tube."
"Alright I will be right there," Kid Flash said getting up. Wally excused himself, he told his friends that his mom called him and she wanted him home. He didn't want to lie to the Team, but Robin seemed desperate. Even for a Speedster it would still be quicker for him to take the Zeta-Tube from Mount Justice to Gotham.
When Kid Flash arrived at the back alley he saw Robin sitting on a trashcan. He noticed bandages.
"Rob! What happened? Are you okay? Well I guess not you're in bandages…" the young protégé of the Flash spoke just as quickly as his uncle.
Robin waved him off, it was cue to slow down and listen. Robin went into detail of meeting the turtles. He only lightly touched up on how he was injured and he didn't feel that was a necessary part of the story. He hoped that his best friend would trust him.
"Let me get this straight. Four talking turtles patched you up and now they are in the sewers. Next time lead with that. I don't need all the details," Wally gave Dick a signature goofy smile.
"I will remember that next time I meet mutants turtles," Dick said. "Now can you get some pizza for them?" Dick pulled out fifty dollars and handed it Wally. That was one perk of being the ward of a multi-millionaire he could feed mutant turtles.
Wally didn't question his friend he simply ran off to see how much pizza he could buy for fifty dollars. The girl at the register did think he was crazy for just walking into buy five pizzas. Wally impatiently wanted for the pizzas. Once he got them he ran back to Robin.
"What took ya?" Robin teased. The Speedster did not appreciate the comment.
"So we are really taking the pizzas down there?" KF said looking down into the black abyss.
"Yeah we are, and you better not eat all the pizza." Robin knew due his friend's Speedster ability he also high metabolism, so that meant Kid was always eating something. KF even had an emergency food stash in his glove.
"Can I have one…no wait maybe two?" Kid asked suddenly realizing he might not get a whole pizza.
"We can see," Robin as he went down. Wally then lowered the pizzas down and followed behind, making sure to close the entrance. Once down in the sewers he followed Robin. On their way the younger boy explained that the turtles were very skeptical of humans.
"Hello!" Robin called. "I'm back. I have pizza."
"PIZZA!" Mikey said running out
"Whoa! It really is a turtle!" Kid said fascinated. Seeing Mikey, followed by three other turtles.
"Guys this is my friend. Kid Flash," Robin said introducing them.
"Kid Flash?" Mikey questioned. "That's a strange name."
"Do you like ice cream?" KF asked with a wiry smile.
"Yeah—" Mikey's words were cut off by a whooshing sound, and streak of yellow. Kid Flash was gone. "Dude where'd he go?" Mikey asked Robin dumfounded.
"He has super speed," Robin said.
"Super what now?" Raph asked.
"Dude! That's great! Can I get super speed?" Mikey asked, he heard whooshing again and an ice cream was in his hand.
"Hey where's mine?" Robin asked.
"Still only got two hands bro. Well I already replicated the experiment once, I could do it again." Kid said licking his own ice cream.
"That would be sweet! Imagine how fast I could go on a skateboard!"
"Mach-2 easy," Wally smiled.
"Mach what?" Mikey said.
"Don't bother explaining it to his simple mind," Donnie said patting Mikey on the head.
"And no Mikey, I don't think Splinter could handle a turtle going that fast. He's lucky he can reign you in now." Leo said as he took a box of pizza from Robin. "Thanks. I have some money on me, if it's still good here."
"Don't worry about it," Robin said.
The six teens sat on the cold floor and ate only slightly warm pizza. Robin explained the reason he brought KF to them was because he was skilled at science, and thought he could help Donnie with what he needed. Donnie started to ask about places to scavenge for part. Dick reluctantly told them not to worry about and just supply him with a list of supplies. Depending how much it would cost would depend if he had to bring Bruce in on the matter.
"Listen, Robin I appreciate all you have done for us right now, but I just don't feel comfortable with you footing the cost of the portal," Leo said.
"I said don't worry about it. I have my ways," Robin said.
"It's not right to steal. Taking something from the dump is one thing, but flat out stealing I can be part of that," Leo said firmly taking his stance.
Dick chuckled, "Leo, I never said I was going to steal. I have way of getting the tech we need, and it's not stealing. You have to trust me. I would say more, but I can't…" He didn't want to bring his guardian Bruce Wayne (Batman) into this if he didn't have to.
"Come on Leo, I mean the kid bought five pizzas, I think he spear some money for Don's parts." Raph said getting annoyed with the entire situation. Leo let it go, and allowed Robin to buy what was needed.
After they had all mostly eaten, the boys stayed around and talked. As fast as Wally could run, was how fast Mikey and he became friends. The pair spent half the time trading prank ideas and lame jokes. Robin even joined in with them.
Donnie was able to tear Wally away from Mikey to talk about the supplies needed for the portal. Donnie was impressed with the human's boy knowledge. He didn't seem like the type to be skilled in science like he was. Leo sat in an listened wanting to have some idea of what was going on, even if Donnie some how managed to speak nearly as fast at the fast talking Speedster.
After Mikey was done talking with KF he tried to out due Robin acrobatics, but it was clear the human boy with his gymnastic background out did Mikey easily. In the end it turned into Robin attempting to teach Mikey some new moves.
"I'm going out," Raph said. "It's stuffy in here."
"That's not the best idea," Robin said in the middle of a complex looking move.
"I can handle myself," Raph snapped.
"Raph it's not a good idea we don't know this city. We need to lay low."
"Listen Leo, I can't sit around and do nothing. I will stay in the shadows. I just need a little less grey."
"Good luck with that," Kid Flash said with a mouthful of pizza. "I don't think I've seen any other colors beside the ones Robin wears," he jerked his thumb to his best friend.
Raph scoffed and stomped off. Leo went to go after him, but Donnie stopped him reminding him that their hotheaded brother would leave no matter what. He also told them the T-Phones still worked and he could always ping Raph's location. Robin told Leo that he would pay close attention to the police radio for reports of giant turtles sightings. If Raph really got in a bind KF could be there in a flash.
Raph was annoyed with his brothers. How could they even trust the Robin kid? How come they never even tried getting to New York? The idiot in the cape said it was close. Raph sat on a roof top right by the manhole they were using currently using. It had started raining. It made the already grey town darker. This place was vastly different than New York City. The city he knew was full of brightly colored lights in most area. This city seemed to be only varying shades of grey and black; even the bricks didn't look red here.
Raph decided to rooftop jump. Try to figure out this city. It looked like they would be here for a little while, and while they were there he might as well make himself useful. It did not take long for Raph to find someone to help. There was a jewelry store being robbed. Raph leaped over to the building that was being robbed. Raph jumped down next to the crooks, sais drawn, he was ready. When they saw him the freaked out, and drew their guns.
"Aw hell," Raph said as the police sirens came into earshot. Soon after the officers of Gotham City Police Department, arrived on scene. Seeing the giant turtle, a call was made in to light the Bat Signal.
Robin heard a tone go off signaling the lighting of the Bat Signal. It was followed by a text read-out of what was going on. When Robin saw what it read he went pale, and hoped Batman was not back in Gotham yet.
"KF, get to the jewelry store on Second Ave, now." Robin's demeanor changed. He got very serious, even when he was questioning them he was not this serious. Kid was already gone, before Leo could question Robin. The Boy Wonder didn't even wait for Leo to ask. "Raph's been spotted. Follow me." The three remaining turtles followed behind as Robin lead the way.
"I knew I should have stopped him!" Leo said starting to get stressed.
"Like he would have listened anyway," Donnie said, he felt a little guilty for stopping Leo.
Kid Flash arrived just in time to see Raph skillfully evading bullets. Using his super speed Wally unarmed everyone, and even handcuffed the criminals, who were also trying to take shots at Raph. Everyone stared in disbelief at their empty hands.
"Sorry," Kids Flash said. "He's with Robin and me. Well go to go…" Wally tried to pick Raph up, but was meet with a glare that could rival Batman's. "…This way…" Wally said pointing an alley and awkwardly laughing. Leading Raph a place to wait for Robin and the other turtles.
"Listen Kid," Raph said. "I don't need your help."
"You had six guns drawn at you. Without me you would be Swiss Turtle!"
"I am glad Mikey didn't hear that." Raph groaned.
Leo touched down first. "You were scene! We were supposed to be keeping a low profile."
"Listen right is not the place," Robin said trying to stop the feuding brothers from brawling in the streets of Gotham.
"He's right," Donnie said. "Let's go back to the make shift lair and talk about things."
"Yeah it's really creepy up here…" Mikey said looking around.
Raph angrily lifted the manhole cover and jumped down. Everyone else followed down, Robin going last making sure everything was all set. The six teens headed back the turtle's Gotham base.
As soon Raph and Leo touched down into the sewers. All hell broke loose. Their voices over lapped. Donnie and Mikey just stood there at watched the familiar sight of their brother's arguing.
"Oh this is so whelming," Robin said to Kid Flash watching the bickering brothers. Robin was used to KF and Artemis arguing, but he always chalked that up to a lover's spat.
"Whelming? That's not the right use of that word," Donnie said turning from his arguing brothers to the pair of human boys.
"Well is should be." Robin said casually.
"But you just can't decide to change a word," Donnie said. Robin shrugged. Causing to Donnie to stutter and make strange sounds. None of his brother's ever countered him like this.
"You broke D," Mikey laughed, and Robin joined in.
"We help people in New York, why can't we help them here?" Raph snapped to Leo.
"We don't know this city!" Leo countered. "You can't just go showing yourself like you did. You saw what Robin looked when he found him."
"Hey, don't bring me into this!" Robin said.
"You two need to stop," Donnie said. "You two arguing is not going to get us home any faster. You two stop arguing and I am going get a list together for the portal."
Leo let out a heavy sigh. His brother was right. Everyone needed to calm down, including himself. They had gotten themselves into a unique situation. While they were stuck here in Gotham, they could learn. Maybe should go out on patrol here, with Robin's guidance. They had only been at this whole superhero gig for about two months. Robin and Kid Flash could really teach them, help them and guide them.
Leo looked over to Raph. The hotheaded turtle grunted, but even without talking he too knew Donnie was right.
"How about we get some sleep and make plans tomorrow," Leo said.
"On the floor?" Mikey complained. "But it's cold. We could keep warm if we had capes," Mikey said with a smiled. "See capes are useful too!"
Donnie brought the palm of his hand to his forehead. Once Mikey got fixated on something he never stopped.
"What! The floor is cold!" Mikey complained.
"We will be fine," Leo said.
The tension in the room seemed to slowly slip away after Mikey's complaint on the cold floor and capes.
Robin and Wally wished their new friends a good night and headed back up topside to the Zeta-Tube so they could get home. Both boys felt bad about leaving them down there, but the turtles (mostly Leo) insisted that they would be okay.
"So what are you going to tell Batman about these guys? Or even the rest of the Team. You know Megan would love to meet them," Kid Flash smiled thinking about their green Martian friend from Mars.
"Unless we bring the Team here, it would be hard to bring the turtles to Mount Justice. I don't the Team too close to Dick Greyson's life." He said referring to his alter ego. His best friend was the only member of the Team to know his secret identity. "As for Bruce…I might have to tell him. I did promise the turtles the parts for the portal. He has a way of knowing things. I'd rather tell him then him find out some other way…I've learned that one from experience. There is also a strong possibility he already knows something."
"Well good luck," Wally said. "I need to head home."
"Yeah I should head home too. I have some homework," Dick said. The younger boy waited for his best friend to use the Zeta-Tube before entering it himself. Robin entered the location of the BatCave and was there in an instant.
When Dick arrived in the BatCave he discovered Bruce sitting at the computer with his cowl off, but his uniform still on. He looked up at Robin as he coming in.
"Where are they now?" Batman asked without even looking up.
A/N: Oh snap. Bruce knows. But really is anyone surprised?
Hope you like how it's going! Until next time!
