The team sat around the cave waiting, while watching Superboy's favourite show; static.

"….he does realize..?" Green Arrow trailed off, watching how interested Superboy was in his 'program'.

"Yup." Artemis said, popping the p.

The rest of the team's mentors sat around awkwardly, Black Canary had decided earlier that week, that the team needed more bonding with their mentors, and what better way than for a movie night! Or so she had thought, she had not counted on the the dynamic duo being late.

"I'm bored!" Kid Flash groaned, sitting upside down on the couch, head hanging off. "When's Rob gonna get here?"

"Should be anytime time kid. Maybe we should check in with them?" Flash said turning his attention from Wally onto Superman who was sitting on the other side of the room, as far from Superboy as he could possibly get.

Seemingly grateful for the distraction, Superman jumped up and began the attempt to patch through communications to Batman.

"Batman come in, It's Superman. Batman come in." The sound of static filled the air, before Batman's scowling face appeared on the screen.

"This better be good Superman, I'm somewhat busy here." batman said, as he worked on something off screen, in what appeared to be one of many of Gotham's Warehouses.

"We were just wondering when you were coming for the…umm.. the movie" Superman faltered under Batman's stare.

"Soon, me and Robin are just disabling the last of Joker's Bombs now." Batman said as he continued to fiddle with the now identified bomb.

"Umm.. well where's Robin too?" Superman hesitantly asked.

"He's just disabling the final bomb, he should be finished any minute-"

"Robin to Batman,I repeat Robin to Batman."

"Batman here"

The screen the team and the mentors had been communicating with Batman through, split in two, allowing the heroes to see both Batman and Robin.

"Finally, I've been trying to reach you for ages!" Robin said, a slightly stressed look on his face, ignoring the team Robin went on. "Seems the joker managed to get his hands on some good stuff this time around, at first the bomb seemed like ay regular bomb Joker would plant, but when I thought I had disabled it, the thing just opened itself up to reveal, an even bigger bomb, set to go off in seven minutes, nineteen seconds, and counting.

"What can you tell from it?" Batman's said, face hardening.

"It's hard to tell, from all the junk Joker has added into it, but it looks nuclear to me." Here the Team and mentors let out a shout of surprise.

Ignoring the noise coming from them, Batman addressed Robin. "Think you can handle it?"

"WHAT?! You can't possibly let a thirteen year old disable a nuclear bomb!" Green Arrow shouted, the other heroes shouting out their agreement.

"No problem Bats, I'm feeling the aster today!" Robin said a smirk on his face as he set to work, a slight smirk appearing on Batman's face, at the words of his protege, much to the shock of the occupants of the room.

"Does anybody else think it's absolutely crazy letting a kid disable a nuclear bomb?" Canary asked, a frown marring her face.

"Yup." Both Flash and Green Arrow said, watching the dynamic duo both work on their own bomb.

"Man, Rob is so lucky! He gets all the action!" Kid Flash sulked.

"Would you really wanna be disabling a nuclear bomb right now, baywatch? Artemis snipped.

"Well for your information-" Wally started, only to be interrupted when Batman stood, supposedly having finished disarming the bomb he had been working on.

"No arguing, he needs his concentration." Batman said, glaring at Kid Flash and Artemis through the screen, and successfully sending chills down both their spines. "Almost finished Robin?" Batman inquired, turning his attention back to the young bird.

"Just gotta cut clear this part, annnnnd, done." Robin said triumphantly, snipping the wire. A high beep sound came from the device behind Robin, his eyes momentarily widening, before green gas began spurting from the machine.

"ROBIN!" Batman shouted, as Robin coughed a little before a hauling a small clear mask from his belt, and throwing it onto his face.

"I'm fine Bats." Robin said a frightening smile spreading across his face, before he began to giggle.

"Robin that was joker venom, administer the antidote now!" Batman yelled as he began presumably running to Robin's location, before his communicator went black, the team watching on in anticipation, knowing none of them would be able to get there fast enough in order to help out the two bats.

Robin began laughing hysterically as tears began to stream down his face, fumbling through his utility belt as he tried to find the antidote. Hands shaking Robin finally managed to haul what appeared to a syringe of some sort, filled with liquid. Gasping now for breath he jabbed the needle into his arm, hoping he managed to insert the needle into the vein. Pressing down, the liquid began making it's way into Robin's arm as he stopped laughing, now just gasping for breath.

Back in the cave the heroes watched as Robin struggled to get oxygen back into his lungs, looks of fright marring their faces, some like Meghan, crying.

"Oh my gosh." Artemis said in horror. As Batman came onto the now full screen that contained Robin.

"Robin, are you okay?" The dark Knight asked, concerned, with more emotion than the occupants of the room had ever seen him display.

"No worries Bats." Robin gasped in between his attempts of getting oxygen back into his deprived lungs. Placing a reassuring hand on the Dark knights shoulder in a attempt to soothe him. "Now the question is, when are we going for bonding night? You promised we could go!" Robin said now only panting slightly, a grin present on his face.

"Your sure your feeling up to it?" Batman softly asked.

"Yup! I'm totally feeling the aster right now."

Letting out a sigh, Batman began to help Robin to his feet. " Come along then."

"Awesome!" Robin shouted out leaning heavily into the Dark Knights chest. "See you guys in a few! Hey Bats can we get some ice cream on the way-" The communicator went blank and the room was silent with shock.

"Does…does that sot of thing happen…everyday." Meghan asked trying to hold back tears, as Superboy wound an arm around her shoulders, in an attempt to comfort her.

"That's Gotham….." Flash trailed off almost sad.

"How does he survive there?" Meghan bit out.

The room was silent before Artemis spoke up. "Get traught or get dead."

The silence in the room was deafening, until the zeta beams announced the arrival of the two bats.
