Trapped Under Pressure

Misson: Artic Encounters

~Edited~
3/3/17. JFC. Reading through this and editing almost killed me. That being said, there are quite a few changes to the end, so you're more than welcome to re-read if you'd like. Turns out there's an extra 400-600 words since I edited. Interesting. :3

- Robin's P.O.V -

I ran to the mission briefing room with M'gann flying close behind.
I stopped when I noticed my brothers were there.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.

"We're here to help Baby Bird," Red Hood laughed, ruffling my hair roughly, causing me to lose my balance slightly.

"Stop it Hood!" I shouted, slapping his hand away angrily. I gave him my best batglare. Why did he always have to treat me like a little kid? He just laughed at me, while KF paled a little, knowing I'm close to perfecting it. The others didn't see it. I shoved past him, and stood next to Nightwing who gave me a slight nod which I returned.

"Are you done?" Batman asked drily, glaring slightly.

"Yes," I huffed. Hood came over and used my head as an armrest. I growled, and pushed him off, only to have his arm back on my head a couple of seconds later. I groaned but didn't make a move to move him off. There was no point.

"Moving on," Batman started, sending a pointed look to Red Hood. "The league is busy with off world business. So we're giving you this mission. It's extremely important and it must be completed without fail. An anonymous tip sent the League information about some dangerous cargo being shipped. The cargo is extremely important and could greatly help create a super weapon strong enough to take out half the world if actived," Batman explained sternly. I sucked in a breath.

"That strong? What the heck's in there? And since when do you trust anonymous tips?" I asked, rushing to get my questions out before he could stop me.

Batman glared lightly at me, not even using his famous batglare, before continuing.

"Yes, the cargo should be that strong. Even if it is an anonymous tip, we can't allow this to slip by. If that cargo is allowed to be transported we could be facing a deadly threat that even the league will struggle against. As for the cargo itself... It seems to be a huge amount of Kryptonite, and Vibraium." Batman continued.

"Wha..." KF stuttered.
This is going to be so fun. Our first real important mission.

Batman explained the plan to us.
M'gann and Superboy were to locate the helicopter, since it'll most likely be cloated in one way or another. Either that, or they'll be able to locate it better through the weather due to their powers. Once it was located, Aqualad was to strike the copter with his electricity, for three seconds and no longer. I would be away at a distance and once I spot the lightening I send a signal to KF and Artemis, who will speed towards the right and help bring the copter down in order to stop the shipment. The main conclusion; we have to stop this shipment no matter what.

We had two hours until departure, so we had time to get ready. I was already ready as usual - as Batman had trained me -  so I decided to double check everything and ensure I brought whatever extra items I may need.

---*Time Skip*---

I crouched into my spot, hiding behind a snow covered boulder. Don't you just love blizzards?

Nothing like waiting in cold blizzards doing nothing at all, while waiting for a signal to come, that may take hours. That's how everyone wants to spend their day. I sighed and put the binoculars to my eyes again and continued waiting for the signal.

I waited for what seemed like days, but in reality was only a couple of hours. At that point, I was practically frozen. I was fairly sure there was some icicles forming on my body...
