Ok I know i'm begging a complete jerk starting an new story while completely ignoring my other stories but to be honest i have kinda lost interest in them. I also apologies for redoing the character of Renegade and making Poison ivy a bit OOC. so read at your own discretion and know you've been warned.

Doppelganger

Chapter One: The Replacement

The fight was not going well, in fact they were down right losing it . Zatanna and Robin were the only two left and giving it all they had but Bane was just not submitting. Batman was on his way but still a good ten minutes away. Robin tried a flying kick at Bane's head but was caught and slammed against the concrete floor with a sickening crack. A pool of blood started to form around the body as Bane walked away towards Zatanna. Zatanna's whole body went cold; she had just lost her father, the idea of losing another close to her was not an option. Rage boiled up within her and then she blacked out. For her time skipped without so much as a warning. Unsure of how long she was out Zatanna found herself being shaken awake by robin who, other than a little bruised, looked ok.

She looked around, Bane was suspended from one of beams screaming in terror. The puddle of blood was still there but Robin barely had a scratch. she pushed the memory of him being slammed against the floor from her mind and started to help her fallen friends.

Under the streets of Gotham in the abandon "Wonder City"

A smug Two Face and one of his thugs walked into one of the city's forgotten hotel lobby's. In the thugs arms was a body wrapped in a bloody sheet. The thug laid it on the table and walked away. Joker looked down at it poking it with a finger. (a/n this is the good version of Joker the one form the BTAS not theYJ one)

"I knew we shouldn't have chosen you to bring the food. it looks only half done. haha!"

Poison Ivy, who was tending to a plant in the corner, seemed more interested in the sheet. "What did you bring Harvey?" she lifted the sheet grimaced and put it back down. "Why is there a dead bird on the table?"

"He's not dead just yet. The coin said to bring him here so we can all decide what to do with him." Two face answered.

Poison Ivy looked back at the boy, "Well he won't last long like this. We should kill him, it would be more humane."

"But then if we kill him bats will get mad at us!" Harley interjected, "Right Puddin?"

Joker nodded, "Yes, but if we kill the brat then bats won't know what to do with himself!"

Harley picked up her giant hammer. "Here Puddin! you do the honors!"

Ivy pulling the boy off the table just as the hammer landed where his chest had been. "I think i'll take him. I've been looking at the effects of this lazerus pit along with my ivy serum and he'll make the perfect test subject." a vine curled up around the Joker's throat. "unless you really want him?" the vine tightened and the Joker shook his head.

"All your's red."

"I had a feeling you'd say that."she walked away a smirk on her face. If her plan worked she had a foolproof way to have an endless supply of minions that weren't vulnerable to weed killer and if it didn't work then it wasn't like she lost anything important.

Four months later

Zatanna looked in horror as Robin doubled over in pain. The realization of what she had done washed over her. A doppleganger, she had created a doppelganger and now the spell was unraveling. Part of her just wanted to let the spell end and let the illusion fade, but the other part of her said to find away to stabilize the spell. Robin was gone was it really such crime to keep this around? Ir took a bit of convincing but she was able to get Dr. Fate to stabilize the spell but the sorcerer warned her to remember that this Robin was a doppelganger and thus eventually would unravel or suffer the fate of other doppelgangers and become a darker version of the original. Zatanna waved it off. "i'll keep him in line don't worry. After all this is Robin he can't be anything but good."

Ivy looked at her creation the process had worked perfectly; the boy's skin had become porcine white and his lips a dark green color; When cut, the boy bled a metallic green and red liquid; his eyes were an almost luminescent green; and best of all, his mind easily turned to her way of thinking. He refused to tell her any secrets of the bat,however, but he didn't to want to go back to him either. He had even come to calling her mother a term she actually embraced. The rest of the syndicate was dubious about keeping the boy alive and on their side until Joker played a surveillance video starring the new Robin which cemented in the original's mind that if Batman could get over his disappearance so easily then why should he even bother with the old man?

"oh look at how the birdy glares. Angry that papa replaced you so fast?" Joker jeered before a vine under Robin's control picked him up by the ankle and held him upside down for a few good seconds before dropping him. "I'll take that as s a yes." he mumbled walking away from the boy. "So Pam what are we going to call our newest member? we can't just keep calling him Robin now that he has clearly been replaced. Personally, I could keep calling him Brat but judging by your face we should give him a name that isn't a derogatory insult."

"Oh Darn," said Harley as she wrapped an arm around Joker's arm. "I wanted to call him Dick." the rest of the syndicate shook their heads.

"We could call him Adem." offered Penguin, "Like the Adam from the garden of Eden?"

Poison Ivy shook her head. "No, I don't want to name him after someone who got kicked out of a garden. I've been partial to the name Dante."

Two Face raised an eyebrow, "I like it. Naming the kid after one of the few literary characters who's been to both heaven and hell, the duality fits him."

Riddler snickered, "what is a villain, a hero, replaced but not missed? Dante Isley! a bat family renegade!"

Robin looked over and smiled at the new name. He'll let Batman have his Robin and his life he had a new one. he looked back at the screen focusing on the new Robin. Live my life but you are one wrong move and hurt my friends and i'll bring down such a world of hurt on you'll be begging to die.

fast forward to right after "The Fix"

Nightwing hung his head. Everything was going to plan and going wrong at the same time. What piece of the puzzle was he missing and how was he going to save his friends? He couldn't allow another disaster like Jason to happen again. He laid back on his bed. Never had he wished more that Batman was here and able to help him, give him guidance.

Renegade (AKA Dante Isley) watched over the new Lex-corp farms the enhanced plants sickened him. He didn't trust the Reach and thought most of the Light was fooling themselves trusting them. someone approached from behind. Renegade put his binoculars down. "Did Ra's send you to watch me little brother?"

The Red Hood knelt down next to him. "Not to watch you plant boy. I'm here to deliver a message from Lex. He says if you must spy on him could you please keep your feelings in check? The plant on his desk tried to attack black beetle earlier today."

"Tell him not to keep ivy plants in his office then." He stood up. "Anyway I'm leaving now, going back to Gotham. There's a certain Liberian I want to see."

Jason rolled his eyes. "I don't want to hear about your romantic exploits 'Big Bro' but tell him high for me."

Dante shook his head. "One day you'll actually believe me when I tell you I'm straight."

"The day you cut that braid off and style your hair like a normal guy, I mean damn! It's past your ass!"

"Goodbye Red Hood!" Dante called as he jumped off the roof and on to his bike and headed to the nearest highway. If he was lucky he'd reach Gotham before dawn.

A/N Ok, what do ya'll think? should I continue or am i wasting my time with a dud? please tell me cause i can easily not write any more.
