Off The Grid

Chapter 5: Complications

Robin's POV

The door to the hangar opened and we walked through, all of our mentors standing on the other side. I grinned when I saw Batman. He strode over to me and examined me.

I smirked at him and his lip twitched upward for a slight second.

He turned around and looked at Kaldur, then Sharp, who was just standing near the hangar door awkwardly. Then back to Kaldur.

"Mission report."

"Sir, we located Robin by intercepting a radio station for the Queen's forces. They surrounded a building, so we sent in Miss. Martian and Artemis. They returned with Robin and uh..." He slowed and lookes at Sharp for a moment.

"Sharp." She said curtly, a scowl on her face.

"Then we escaped, but were shot down. Deathstroke was there. He tried to blow up Robin and then gave us a chip for you. Then Flash arrived after he left." Aqualad finished.

Batman nodded, "Where is the chip?"

I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to him.

He examined it before nodding again.

"What about you Robin?" Black Canary asked.

"And what's with the girl?" Captain Marvel/Shazam asked bluntly.

She glared at him fiercely and he gulped while taking a step back.

"I was in the middle of the desert and passed out, Sharp found me and took me back to her, um, tent. Then she helped me attempt to get out of Bialya, but we got caught. Then the team showed up and we escaped together." I said.

"How do we know she isn't working for Queen Bee or Deathstroke?" Arrow asked.

"She couldn't have know we were coming to help Robin escape. If she wanted to turn on him or us, she had many opportunities to." Aqualad said.

"Hmp."

"She saved my life, she deserves our trust." I stated, looking at the very unhappy fugitive.

"Perhaps, but she's also the most wanted criminal terrorist in Bialya." Batman said.

She scoffed.

"Oh." I said.

"We'll have to think on this. There's a big chance we'll have to turn her in to the Bialyian forces." Batman said.

"What?" I asked incredulously.

"She'll be killed!" Artemis exclaimed.

"I do not believe that is the wisest course of action." Aqualad said quietly.

"She's a wanted Bialyian criminal. The League doesn't have any jurisdiction there, we're harboring a fugitive." Batman explained.

I looked at Sharp, whose extremely annoyed face turned to a completely blank one.

"I think you should just turn me in." She stated.

"What?" Martian Manhunter asked, confused.

"Just turn me in. I'd rather be in Bialya than here." She said.

"You'll be executed." Superman deadpanned.

"No I won't."

"Yeah, you will." Arrow told her, giving her a 'are-you-stupid' look.

"Okay, well like you said, I'm a wanted fugitive, you're superheroes, you don't have jurisdiction in Bialya, might as well turn me over. It doesn't seem like you have much of a choice anyway." She said.
