Disclaimer: Young Justice is sadly no mine, but DC's… If it was mine I would make this an episode!
This is for you Mixxi! But everyone should enjoy! :)
Robin growled as Joker came at him with a knife. Why did this stupid clown always make his life so difficult? Robin grunted as he ducked away from the switchblade knife. Why were they here anyways? Robin thought back to when they were assigned on the mission.
Four Hours Earlier
Robin and the team, minus Zatanna who was busy elsewhere, watched as Batman walked into the debriefing area. Batman had pictures of the Chicago Comic Convention. The team were looking at the photos in confusion.
"You will be going to the Comic Convention in Chicago," Batman started.
"Sweet Comic Con!" Kid Flash smiled. Batman eyed the speedster and silenced him quickly.
"The Joker and Harley Quinn are going to strike there. I do not know what they want, but what I do know is they are up to no good. This is the Joker, be careful, he's left Gotham for a reason. I want you to find out why he is there, and I want you to keep the civilians safe."
"That's it?" Robin asked. Batman nodded curtly. "Maybe he just wants to cause some chaos," Robin pondered out loud.
"Possibly, but he may be after something else too. Be careful, you are dismissed."
Robin growled as the Joker barely missed him with the knife.
"Birdy boy!" the Joker smiled. "Why don't you call Batsy here? We could have some real fun then!"
"Batman isn't coming!" Robin snapped tossing a few of his discs at Joker only for the Joker to easily avoid them.
"Try a little harder!" the Joker laughed happily.
M'gann was looking for the bombs. Robin I found one! she yelled to the team via the link.
How many wires? Robin asked. M'gann looked down at the bomb at the front entrance.
A lot? M'gann answered back unsure.
Are there a red wires, blue wires, yellow wires, or all three? Robin yelled. M'gann looked down at the blinking bomb.
All three, and a white one… I think…
You think or you know? Robin yelled.
I know! M'gann answered. Robin seemed silent for a moment. Robin?
Okay, everyone listen closely, Robin told everyone how to defuse the bombs then… Have you found Harley yet?
No, Kid Flash answered back.
Great, find her, I am still a little busy, Robin growled over the link.
Robin felt the knife hit his shoulder and Joker happily laughed. Robin growled and tossed a few more of his discs at Joker. The team were busy defusing bombs and find Quinn, which Robin had a bad feeling she was off somewhere.
"Little Birdy, let's pluck your feathers!" Joker taunted. Robin growled as he charged the Joker. "Temper, temper!" Joker smiled widely as he blocked a punch. Robin knew that he would not be able to take the Joker, but he was the only one that could in the group. The rest of the group had no experience with this monster.
"Well Jokey, let's see who gets the last laugh," Robin said as he felt the Joker's blade nick his cheek.
"Oh, it'll be me little Bats," Joker smirked dangerously.
"Right," Robin rolled his eyes behind his mask. Joker's smile widened. Robin heard it and turned only to be too late. He had found Quinn at least, pointing a gun at him and pulling the trigger. Robin screamed in pain as he felt the bullet hit him in the left lower shoulder.
"Leave him alone!" a small voice cried as Robin felt his body fall to the ground. Robin saw a young kid dressed as Robin run onto the stage.
Call Batman… Robin thought weakly to the team. The boy ran towards Robin and the Joker started to laugh.
"You have a little friend Robin!" Joker giggled happily pointing a gun at the kid.
"NO!" Robin yelled jumping towards the kid with whatever strength he had left felling another bullet hit him in the back. Robin screamed again as he shielded the kid with his body.
"ROBIN!" The kid yelled. Suddenly the team was by Robin's side. "Are you going to be okay?" the kid asked in tears. Robin smirked in pain at the kid who was under him.
"I'll… be… fine…" Robin managed. Suddenly there was a crash from above. Robin looked up to see a black figure and then everything went black.
Robin woke up to the sounds of voices. Everything hurt, but his shoulder and back where screaming at him. Robin moaned as he slowly tried to move up in the bed he was in. He realized he still had his mask on so the team must be close by.
"Robin!" M'gann yelled. Robin blinked a few times to focus his vision on the green martian coming at him ready to give him a hug.
"No hugs," Robin said quickly holding up his arms only to regret that and groan in pain, M'gann nodded and looked worriedly at him as he attempted to move into a sitting position only to fail.
"Here, let me help," Artemis said in a sisterly fashion aiding Robin to sit up against a bunch of pillows. Robin smiled in thanks.
"So what happened after I passed out?" Robin asked. The team looked at each other a little nervously.
"Well… we got you to the cave… and well… you died on the operating table… they barely got you back…" Kid Flash started to explain.
"Must be why I feel like a million bucks," Robin muttered sarcastically.
"You almost died!" Superboy yelled suddenly. "And that's how you feel about it?"
"Chill Conner!" Robin snapped. "I've almost died at least ten times…"
"Fifteen," came a cool calculated voice. Robin turned his head a little to quickly and moaned. His vision swirled a bit, but focused on Batman. "How are you? You've been asleep for four days," Batman said.
"Tired, and more painkillers would be lovely," Robin added. "And I would love to go home," he added.
"Wait!" Artemis interjected. "Fifteen times?" suddenly the team started to realize that Robin was only human.
"What does it matter?" Robin asked as Batman pushed more painkillers into his partner's IV. "Thanks," Robin added as he settled into he pillows. "How was the kid?" Robin added.
"The kid that you saved?" Aqualad asked. Robin nodded. "He was shaken up, but fine and unharmed," Aqualad responded. Robin smiled a bit.
"Good, and Joker and Harley?" he asked.
"Back in Arkham," Batman said.
"What where they after?" Robin asked.
"They were banking on the chance that you and the team would show, kidnap you and get to me," Batman answered. "They were looking for some… fun… I'll take you home in a half hour," he added. Robin nodded gratefully as Batman left.
"So…" Kid Flash asked awkwardly. "Um… you would have won the costume contest…" he said trying to find a topic to talk about.
"It would have been cheating," Robin sighed.
"You looked good on the stage," M'gann said. Robin looked at her surprised.
"Well thanks… I guess," he yawned sleepily, the painkillers kicking in. "It just feels… natural," Robin dozed off into sleep. The team looked at each other and silently left the room to let the youngest sleep. They were all grateful that he was still there with them.
