Batman: The Enemy Within (Male Reader Robin)

Chapter 19: Training

Robin's POV

We are still at the SANCTUS Research Facility. Me and Batman walk around. Batman then calls Alfred.

Batman: Alfred, call Tiffany and tell her to get to the manor. Harley escaped with the virus.

Alfred: Right away.

Me and Batman walk over to Waller.

Waller: Get me a proper lockdown crew in here, stat! I want bioscans on Freeze! Do not let him out of that airlock! Move it, people!

Agent Avesta sees us.

Avesta: Good work, here, Batman, Robin.

Waller: Good work? Harley escaped with the Lotus virus. Your girlfriend, Catwoman, is nowhere to be found. Same goes for your boy, John. So if 'good work' means half the Pact is loose in Gotham and we've got a mega virus in the hands of a psychopath...Then yes. This is picture perfect.

Robin: Catwoman and John are not a concern.

Batman: Our focus needs to be on Quinn.

Waller: As much as I hate to admit it, you have a point.

Waller looks around at the facility.

Waller: SANCTUS, right under our noses all this time.

Avesta: Chemical weapons, human experimentation. SANCTUS was-- is the darkest part of the Agency's history. This place is just evil.

Waller: And that's why we're shutting it down once and for all. We can take some of this equipment and put it to good use.

Robin: This facility needs to be burned to the ground.

Batman: I don't want so much as a trace of it left in my city.

Waller: Why don't you let me worry about that, Batman and Robin? I'm going to need your help tracking down Quinn. She's out there with the virus, and that's a threat to Gotham we simply can't allow.

Avesta: Freeze must have an idea about where she'd go in these circumstances.

Waller: Don't waste your time with that maniac. He'd say anything to throw us off track.

Avesta: But he's our best lead.

Waller: We'll I disagree. Freeze is nothing more than a science experiment gone awry. You best keep your focus on Harley and the virus, before anyone else gets hurt.

Waller walks away. Avesta walks to us.

Avesta: That was strange. She just completely shut me down.

Robin: Waller was out of line. She should know better than to ignore your instincts.

Avesta: Usually she does. Listen -- Director Waller may think it's a waste of time... But I say leave no stone unturned.

Batman: I'll see what I can find out.

Avesta nods and looks over at the agent guarding the airlock Freeze is in.

Avesta: Hey, Will! Gimme a hand with this, will you? I think there may be something we can salvage back here.

They walk away. Batman walks towards Freeze to interrogate him. I wait for him to get done. Few minutes pass, I see Batman lowering the temperature in the airlock. Me and Avesta walk towards him.

Batman: I need to get to the subway right away. If Harley's trying to make this serum, she'll go straight for Riddler's blood.

Avesta: I'm coming with you. The secondary properties of this virus... The serum they want to make from it. I've got a feeling Director Waller didn't want us to hear that.
