Batman: The Enemy Within (Male Reader Robin)

Chapter 9: Who to interrogate?

Y/N's POV

We arrive back at the Batcave. We walk over to the computer.

Alfred: I heard your guys discussion with Commissioner Gordon. Now he knows that Lucius Fox, the Batman, and Robin are-- were-- allies. Gordon is dangerously close to figuring out who you two are.

Bruce: Worrying about it won't help anything.

Alfred: Neither will bring cavalier. You were radio silent for so long. Tell me... did you find out how Lucius died?

Bruce sets the missile on the table.

Bruce: This is a missile we found in Riddler's workshop. The explosion at Wayne Tower... we were thinking about it all wrong.

Bruce activates the hologram.

Bruce: The puzzle wasn't an explosive. It was an emitter. When it was solved. It emitted a signal. You heard it earlier. If allowed to play too long, it becomes a launch signal.

Alfred: Dear God. You did solve the box. We just didn't know it.

Y/N: The Batcave's scrambler blocked the signal.

Alfred: Poor Lucius. Wayne Tower offered no such protections. Our tight little family has gotten smaller because of it.

Bruce: We still have you.

Bruce looks at me, then back at Alfred.

Bruce: And we still have each other.

Y/N: Yeah, we do.

Alfred: I won't always be here, Bruce and Y/N.

We say nothing.

Alfred: I-I'm sorry. Losing Lucius in such gruesome fashion. It puts me in rather a morbid mood.

Bruce puts the list of Agency names on the Batcomputer.

Alfred: The list of Agency operatives from Riddler's workshop-- he plans to do the same thing to them.

Y/N: It's a hit list.

Bruce: It's only useful if he has a way to target the agents, though. And I doubt he's sending them all puzzle boxes.

Bruce looks through the hologram.

Bruce: Hold on. Let's just walk through it.

We look.

Bruce: He hacked their cell phones. He can pinpoint the location of anyone of these operatives. And he can broadcast his signal through their phone to make them a target of a missile strike.

We see the missiles striking on the hologram.

Alfred: Can you block it?

Bruce: If I can get a clean copy of the signal, yes.

Bruce gets on the Batcomputer. He pops up the video of Lucius's death.

Bruce: It's the only way I can get a clean version of the signal.

Bruce looks at us.

Bruce: It's... pretty grim, Y/N and Alfred. You don't have to watch.

Y/N: It's okay, I can watch.

Alfred: I can handle it.

Bruce: Of course you two can. Let's get this over with.

Bruce plays the video.

Lucius: Bruce, get my daughter out of the building! Get yourself out.

We hear Bruce's voice.

Bruce: What are you talking-- What did you figure out?!
