Outnumbered... Just a Little Bit
Robin's POV
Okay let's review bad ideas I've had, stealing the tires from the Batmobile (though that one did turn out surprisingly well), trying to steal cookies that Alfred had made without the butler knowing (I swear that man has eyes in the back of his head... or cameras...), making fun of Dick's old Robin suit (seriously bro? Scaly underoos and pixie boots? What was he thinking?!), taking the Batmobile for a joyride (Bruce made me clean the Batmobile with a toothbrush), taking the Batwing for a joyride (Bruce made me clean the ENTIRE BATCAVE with a toothbrush). However charging a horde of super villains who had just taken down the entire Justice League and Team, nearly killed Dick, and attacking them single handedly with no plan and nothing more then a bright colored suit and belt around my waist... Worst. Idea. Ever.
"Ha Ha Ha whats wrong Birdie Boy? Don't cha what to play with ya Uncle J?" Joker's maniacal voice calls out, rich with insanity. It sent shivers down my spine. I peek out from my temporary hiding place up in he rafters, silently thanking Bruce and Dick for their training in concealment. Without it I would already be dead. Below me I could spot numerous villains, Joker, Poison Ivy, a Big Gorilla with a gun, a brain, a demonic looking teenager, Bane, a guy with a hockey mask, a man with 3 long scars across his face, Ra's Al Ghul, a girl with a smirking cat mask, the list could go on and on. I pull back again, no longer looking at the villains, I couldn't help but wish I paid more attention when Bruce and Dick taught me about worldwide villains, instead only focusing on the Gotham ones, the ones I would face.
"Oh there the little birdie is" a voice says, almost sounding like a purr, from behind me. Before I can turn to face the owner of the voice a hand latches around my arm and unbalances me, letting go and letting me crash to the ground, the villains crowding around me. The one who grabbed me jumps gracefully down from above, the woman with the grinning cat mask. I hadn't noticed her slip away when I was trying to formulate a plan.
"There's the birdie wait... doesn't this bird seem younger then the original? Did the Bat really replace the original so quick?" One of the many villains ask. "Does the Bat have one to replace you as well?" I glare at the villains , unable to isolate the the speaker.
"That's not a very nice look bird brains though I guess I can excuse it if you can sing as well as the first bird brain" a voice easily recognized as Gotham's resident clown himself Joker. The green haired stepped forward and I see a silver knife in his fingers. I slowly push myself up, feeling a burning sensation in my ankle, I had sprained it when the cat themed villianess had sent me toppling from the rafters. I couldn't get away with a sprained ankle. "So the little bird still wants to fight?" The Joker laughs, the sound sending shivers down my spine. I finally understood what Dick meant when he said not to take the clown lightly, understanding the haunted look in his eyes. The mere sound of the laugh was enough to drive people insane.
"While Joker entertains our guest Klarion you Bane, Mammoth, Cobra, Devastation, Vertigo, Ultra Huminate, Atomic Skull and Captain Cold can go check on the heroes, make sure Bird Brat number two came alone" the man with the three scars commands. The named villains peel away, the demonic teenager grumbling under his breath Scott missing all the fun, a cat in his arms. Suddenly a sharp pain causes me to scream in pain, my attention drawn back to Joker.
"What a lovely song Boy Blunder number 2, you really should pay more attention to your Uncle J though" the Joker says with a laugh and I see what was causing me pain, one of the knives Joker was holding was embedded in my side, the Kevlar in the suit taking an inch or so of the knife luckily so it didn't penetrate too far but it still hurt. I pluck the knife out, throwing it behind me, the top stained red with my blood. Knife out I go to punch the clown but Joker moves faster than I ever could have expected, dodging my swing and punching me in the side right where the knife had hit. I hiss in pain, clutching at my bloodied side but the Joker doesn't give me time to recover, pressing the flower on his suit a mystery liquid spurting out, I hardly have time to dive out of the way of its path but the clown's foot was waiting, connecting with my ribs and throwing me back on the floor. "Tsk task birdie, Robbie 1 and Batsie would be so disappointed in your performance" I feel anger fill me at the words, and spotting the discarded knife from earlier, I reach for it wrapping my fingers around the handle but Joker's suddenly there, stomping is foot on my hand. "What a naughty little bird, didn't the Bat tell you not to use such pointy things? A bad bird like you needs some punishment lucky ole Uncle J is more than happy to oblige!"
"Back off clown" a familiar voice growls and I see a dozen shapes fly down from above, smoke billowing up as they hit the ground. The pressure disappears from my hand, a thump sounding in front of me. "Come on Little Bird let's fly this hell hole" I see Dick standing over me, bring back an outstretched arm that must have knocked Joker off my hand. I can't help but feel embarrassed and angry that I had needed help but I was still relieved to see him. I grab the knife and stand beside him as the smoke begins to clear.
"Was the mission a success?" I ask, wondering why he was here alone. He nods.
"Yes everyone was beat up pretty bad though" he replies, stepping in front of me protectively. "Go join them I have it handled here" Before I can respond Joker let's out a laugh, back on his feet.
"Another birdie, this one blue? Are you one of Batsie's kids too?" Joker asks, blood dropping from his mouth where Dick had punched him. Dick smirks in response.
"I guess you could say that, names Nightwing" Dick says, pulling some batarangs from his belt.
"So he has the Bat's toys and it looks like he knows how to use them better then our first guest, Joker you take Robin we'll deal with the new threat." The scarred man says. Joker wastes no time in lunging at me but Dick intercepts, kicking the clown back only for the cat themed villain to pounce at him, a sais drawn.
"Back off" I shout at her, suddenly remembering all the training Bruce and Dick gave me and throwing the knife at her as if it was a staring. She deflects it but it gives me enough time to position myself at Dick's back, drawing my escrima sticks, the stab wound in my side a dull memory with the adrenaline coursing through my veins.
"My, my what a violent little bird" the black haired girl says, a dark tone to her voice. "Wonder what the Bat thinks about that?" She jumps out of the way as Dick throws Joker at her. The rest of the villains crowd around, cutting off our routes of escape. Dick's back presses against mine, his own escrima sticks in hand.
"Ready Robin? We're going to have to fight our way out or at least hold off until backup arrives, those not to hurt to fight, it's not going to be easy" Dick asks seriously, voice low so only I could hear. I smirk.
"'Course I'm ready Wingnut, you and Bats have been training me long enough" I reply confidently, we had freed the league, that would be back to help soon from the sounds of it Dock must've called for help. As soon as the words leave my mouth a door opens and the villains the scarred man had sent away rush back in.
"Vandel the league has escaped!" One shouts, the scarred face man swearing, glaring at Dick.
"It was you, you sent this little Robin to distract us as you ruined my plans! You will not be getting out of here alive die to your actions" the man, Vandel I guess, growls and the other villains that returned gather around.
"Well this just got ten times harder" I mutter and then suddenly the villains surge forward, a mass of bodies surrounding me from all sides as the fight for our lives began.
And that is that! Hope you guys enjoyed my LONG overdue update (That was surprisingly long... I thought it was only gonna be 800ish words... hmmm) ! As always (Even though I am a horrible person for making you wait) pleaseeeeeee
