Chương 62: Robin's long night 1
[Robin POV]
As I looked over the Gotham skyline from my perch, I called up Alfred to ask him an important question "So where is Batman? I haven't heard from the guy for days at this point."
From the other side of the comms. Alfred replied "Master Bruce has left for a covert operation and will be back in a few months. He has instructed me to inform you to contact Master Dick in case of any emergencies."
Robin didn't ask further knowing that Alfred wouldn't tell him anyways. He instead asked "So is there something interesting happening around here. I can't see anything on the radar."
Alfred answered "I shall run scans… Let's see… Ah! There seems to be a shootout currently ongoing at the university district. Shall I send you the location?"
"Yeah, I'll head there now." replied Robin, already on the move.
Robin quickly traversed through the urban jungle of Gotham, already as familiar with it as one would be with breathing. In just a few minutes, he had reached the location Alfred had sent him. Sure enough, there were two groups of people present.
On one side there were a couple dozen men in full body bulletproof clothing with assault rifles, machine guns using heavily armoured cars for cover shooting at a seemingly ordinary semi-truck. But those guys weren't the ones that worried Robin.
For he knew the people on the other side quite well, and not in a good way. It was the false face society, led by Black mask. But why were they attacking a random semi truck?
Normally, they wouldn't rob anything other than banks or jewellery stores and there was no way that stuff was in this kind of a truck. So that means it was a contract job.
'Well, I'll figure out the complicated stuff after I kick their ass.' he thought, before jumping in.
In mere moments, he got behind the thugs from the false face society before extending his titanium collapsible staff before smacking one of the goons in the face. This obviously drew the attention of everyone around him, as they turned their attention to him.
But Robin had already expected this as he threw a smoke bomb in the ground, greatly reducing the gunmens field of vision. He then quickly tackled the gunman closest to him, bashing his skull on the floor before using his elbow to knock him out. He then quickly grappled away, unharmed.
"Fuck!! It's Batman's brat!" yelled a goon.
"Why the fuck is he here?!" asked another.
In the meantime, the other gunmen used the distraction caused by Robin to quickly get in their vehicles, aiming to escape. The false face society goons saw this and reacted immediately, getting into their own vehicles to give chase.
'Nice! I got them moving. Now to get rid of the false face thugs and follow the others to their base.' Robin thought, happy that things were going according to plan. As he flew overhead using his glider, he took note that there were 5 vehicles including the semi truck that belonged to the armed gunmen, while the false face society followed in 8 vehicles.
Robin swooped in, getting on top of one vehicle, placing a localised EMP on top of it, before jumping on to another vehicle. The EMP went off, disabling the car.
Robin then broke the windshield of the car he had landed on, before throwing in a smoke pellet before using his grappling gun to escape, blinding the driver and causing the car to steer off course and crash into a street light, wrecking it. Robin then throws spikes on the road causing the tires of two cars to burst, stopping them in their tracks.
'That's half of them. Now for the re-' as Robin was thinking about his next course of action, he was suddenly taken aback as two of the cars were suddenly flung into the air as they crashed into each other. As soon as this happened, he saw something pass by him.
It was a man who was half on fire, using blue flames to form wings to fly and from the looks of it, he was dressed as a ninja. He quickly flew towards the last two false face vehicles and burned off their tires.
He then made his way to the semi truck and its envoy, before suddenly conjuring a large amount of ice to freeze the entire road as well as all of the vehicles on it, including the semi truck and its convoy.
'Who the hell is that?! I'll need to be careful.' I thought, as I hid in the nearby wreckage..
I watched, as the man approached the semi-truck and the doors of the cargo container on its back flung open. A couple of armed soldiers shot at the man, but all the bullets magically stopped before him, dropping on the ground. He then froze all of the soldiers into statues of ice after which he casually entered the container.
"Alfred, I need information. What the hell is in that convoy?!" I asked through the comms.
"Just a moment, Master Damien." Alfred replied.
As I was waiting for Alfred to reply, the man exited the cargo container, seemingly empty-handed.
'He's taken nothing. If so, why attack in the first place? Maybe to commit arson?' I thought, trying to figure out his motive.
"Huh. Well that's amusing." he exclaimed, before suddenly he disappeared from his location.
'Where did he-' as I was about to go investigate his disappearance, the man in question suddenly appeared before me. Sparing no time to think, I instinctually jumped back, dropping a smoke bomb to cover my tracks, before grappling away into a nearby building. But that proved futile, as the man was already standing on top of the building by the time I managed to scale it.
I armed myself with my retractable bo-staff, ready for a fight.
"Now now, no need to get all riled up. I'm just here to talk." he said, in a mockingly sweet tone.
