* Robin Manor, 05:00 p.m. *
[Door Bell goes Ding-Dong-ding; Robin opens the door.]
Robin: Welcome max and jessica, how are you both?
Jessica: Good, now move aside...
Robin: So rude, anyways come on in, have a seat.
Max: Why not, but first I want to see your whole mansion.
Robin: Sure.
[Robin begins to show them his mansion]
C.O.L.D.: Mr. Anderson and Ma'am. Underwood, would you like some cold drink, tea, coffee or maybe some Hot chocolate?
Max: What was that?
Robin: My Assistant and my friend A.I.C.O.L.D.
Jessica: An artificial intelligence, WOW!
Max: Does he control your whole Mansion?
Robin: Yes, and additionally has every data and information which exists in Lockdown, and that is the reason I called him Cold. Core of Lock_Down.
Max: Do you have all the information?
Robin: Yes, everyone's data who lives in lockdown and the data of the one who enters the city of lockdown.
Max: So, can I ask you the reason to call us to your mansion?
Jessica: You can...
Max: I am asking by saying that.
Robin: So, both of you know Lockdown as you both have passed your childhood in the city.
Max: Yes, kind of... because I haven't passed childhood because the thing which I have seen in lockdown are crimes most of them. When I was small, my parents didn't allow me to get out of the house because of the crimes, they were scared that if anything happened to me they will regret it for the rest of their life...
Jessica: Same story but different version...
Max: My parents left Lockdown when I was 14. They asked me if I want to stay in lockdown or be somewhere else... and here I am now... with a gift from my parents.
Robin: The car.
Max: Yes, how do you know?
Robin: Because it's the only thing max love's the most
Max: Not the most but yep; the crimes have taken my childhood away from me.
Robin: Lucky compared to me, you have just lost your childhood, but I... I have...
[Robin paused for the moment. There was a ghost silence for some minutes]
Max: Robin...
Robin: So the crimes are because of one person according to me.
Jessica: Who is that?
Robin: Have a look at the newspaper or any news channel. If you are a daily reader or a watcher, what do you think, what or should I say, who is the cause?
[Robin brought them to the living room, where the say and cold delivered some snacks with a drone. While Robin pondered the question again and max replied]
Max: Blackwand, the old criminal of Lockdown Lockup and the patent of the Lockdown asylum as well. Do you know his Past?
Robin: Yes.
Max: I thought you would have known; so he... wait a minute, you know his past?
Robin: Yes, a few know; he was a scientist who worked with my father for some time. after an incident, my father fired him. He became a psychopath for some time and started murdering some innocent people, he was sent to lockdown asylum and then to lockdown lockup and that time he was back to normal. When he gets the news of my father's success he began to study the energy which my father discovered, when he escaped the prison he began to send his followers to steal the power from my father.
Max: Stories I heard are far brutal than anyone could imaging. Do you know he was on charge of murdering his own wife?
Jessica: Oh... hey robin, can I ask you about your Father?
Robin: Why not? He was a very great person, a good man who serves lockdown, he created the energy which could make someone great. Then he made the energy to get filled in 4 badges. The night before my 10th birthday... someone broke into the mansion and had stolen one of the badges. My father tried to stop him but... At the time he was fighting with him, he shot him to death... moreover he stole the badge.
Max: And now with the power of the badges he is ruling the criminal world, isn't it?
Robin: No, because every badge has a special code that could unleash the power, you have to open it once and use it forever. My father had told me the codes, and I was able to unlock what I have...
Jessica: The 3 badges? Have you opened them?
Robin: Yes, just not open, but used together... which I think was a bad idea.
Max: Why?
Robin: When I used the three badges together, I was not able to control the power... it was... way too much
C.O.L.D.: He was in the hospital for at least 3 weeks, doctors were not able to identify the cause of sickness.
Robin: The badges cause me pain... I was very near to death, but... then I suddenly woke up with a curse.
Jessica: Curse?
Robin: Yes, it was sort of telepathy that I could read anyone's mind, anytime if I want.
Max: You think that's a curse, why?
Robin: I don't know if it a curse or power, but entering into someone's personal life is wrong. Moreover, it's not the only thing I got. By using the badges together increased my trauma
Jessica: Robin, I have a question that why are you telling us this? What do you want from us?
Robin: I just want to ask you both that, "Do you both want to save the lockdown's future?". I want the answer soon because Blackwand had and has got enough time to decode the badge.
*MEANWHILE*
*Somewhere around Lockdown outskirts, some week ago*
???: Finally, I have figured out the code. Thomas now sees how I will destroy your city and your son...
???: Sir Blackwand, what will be our next step...
Blackwand: First transfer the power from the badge to my ring, and be sure to leave some power for my Henchman(s) Droy.
Droy: Sure, sir.
Blackwand: Lockdown be ready for the up-coming destruction. Be ready ROBIN.
