That talk with Clark had concluded with less than perfect results. Right after he had left, Bruce decided to do the same as the Boy Scout and have his desert to-go. There was no point in him continuing his stay at the diner. Besides, he needed to monitor the team. To be honest, he didn't know why Clark was acting so distant from Superboy. Well—not that he didn't know why, it was more along the lines of he could not understand how he was feeling. If Bruce woke up one day to discover that Cadmus had made a miniaturized Batman clone...he honestly didn't know how he would react, but he already had his own fair share of experience with chil

It seemed like only every other blue moon that appeared, that Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson would have a fun night out just simply because they wanted to. This particular definition of fun being: not fighting crime. This trip to the theater was not just another cover up to hide their secret identities, but it was truly because they wanted to spend a day together as father and son. Out of all the years they spent patrolling the city as Batman and Robin, they noticed that there was always a certain time in the year when almost nothing illegal or dangerous would happen. The rest of the world also seemed pretty quiet since most of the Justice Lea

Chapter Seven: Batcave “NO!” Batman's heavy coughs echoed through the headphones Dick wore over his ears. He saw everything happen: The piano beginning to play the same annoying tune using off-key sour notes, the steam beginning to puff heavily out of the slits of the pipe organ, and before losing the connection, he saw what appeared to be Joker's henchman wearing gas masks breaking through the fog approaching his fallen mentor. He hadn't realized that he cried out in surprise. "What is with all the uproar, Master Dick? Why are you not resting?" Dick turned around to see a startled and puzzled looking Alfred holding a silver

Watchtower "Batman!" Nightwing gasped as he looked towards his former mentor. "It's the missing sixteen hours!" “Agreed” Batman acknowledged. Robin—although usually very respectful and obedient—had stuck a small radio device onto Batman’s cape that morning before leaving for Mount Justice. Because it’s fun to know things before everybody else. He had heard everything they just said. As he listened in the privacy of his room at the Young Justice headquarters, he mentally and unintentionally brought himself away from the conversation. There was something in the urgency in Nightwing's voice. Yes—ev

Chapter Six: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carnival Batman began approaching the entrance of the fun house where Joker was most likely hiding in. As determined as he was to catch the criminal, thoughts from the previous conversation he had with Dick were replaying over and over again in his mind. He had left the cave with both he and Dick on somewhat good terms, but still a little tense for his liking. He had taken away Robin—but for his own safety! He had gotten Dick is so many dangerous situations. It is now time to put an end to the most ridiculous childhood ever! Dick is safe at home with Alfred. He repeated over and over again in his mind. He&

Chapter Five Batcave Bruce was caught off guard from those simple words. Why in the world was Dick apologizing to him? Did he feel responsible for what happened at the carnival? That he wasn't able to hack into the controls in time? Was he even apologizing for disconnecting himself from the heart monitor? What was it? Bruce pulled back from the hug and looked into the blue eyes that he missed so much. He settled himself on the edge of the bed as he prepared for what he predicted was going to be a long and serious discussion. “Sorry about what?" It wouldn't be the first time if he apologized about messing up on a case or accidentally

Chapter Four Batcave It had been exactly two excruciatingly long days since the Joker incident. Bruce was getting worryingly frustrated. He had spent almost the entire past forty-eight hours in the depths of the cave where he could do his research and also keep an eye on Dick who was currently recovering in a medical bed. Based on the events that he recalled, it was possible that he was dosed twice with the chemicals that he had found in the dart. A first dose, when they were both unconscious and the second one…well he witnessed it for himself. That night when he brought him back to the cave—it was quite a painful night. Right

Chapter Three Gotham City ~~~~~~~ Robin Robin found it incredibly annoying that Joker would taunt Batman in such a matter. “Annoying” isn't exactly the proper term for how he should be feeling, but that's how it felt to him. He also felt obviously scared and anxious because who knows what the Joker had in mind to do to him—as Batman had said earlier that evening: "the Joker can be unpredictable." In the hallway, he heard his mentor banging on the door. Joker was back with two henchman, one of which had his huge arms wrapped around his small body—at the moment all he could do was squirm around. The other henchman ha

Chapter Two Gotham City One second he was about to give the beating of a lifetime to the Joker right in the face, the next second everything goes black, then in the third second it felt like he was having the worst hangover in the world. Batman struggled to open his eyes under his cowl—under the cowl? That was when he started remembering everything. Came to stop the Joker…the murders…carnival…carnival…ROBIN! He immediately snapped his eyes open and noticed that he could not see a thing. He was in a dark room and Robin was possibly in there with him. He made an attempt to stick a finger into the com link b
