How To Guess a Robin's Identity

Gotham Nights, Bats and Cats

Hi everyone.

Today the team meets Batgirl and patrols Gotham! Along with another Gothamite most of you will know. Plus lots of trolling.

This is set after season one but Zatanna and Rocket won't make any appearances.

I hope you enjoy.

When the team were given a mission to patrol Gotham with Robin while Batman was away in deep space on a League mission, they didn't expect to end up in this situation. Though knowing their track record with missions they really should have expected trouble.

Still no one really expects to find themselves hanging upside down in chains over a pit. It absolutely didn't help they were covered in multi-coloured paint and glitter, or that they didn't even know how they found themselves in this situation.

Well not all of the team were actually there, Robin was missing.

I should probably back up and explain everything. You see it started with a dare. . . Actually that's not true, it started with the mission, as I mentioned earlier.

The team were waiting around in the briefing room, they'd been told to expect the Dark Knight as he had a new mission for them. Of course, with Kid Flash in the room it wasn't very quiet. He kept vibrating in his seat talking continuously, overexcited for the upcoming mission, while the rest of the team mostly ignored him.

"What do you think Bats wants us to do?" Wally asked, finally stopping his incessant talking.

"We don't know. Which is why we are waiting for him to come and tell us." Aqualad replied, at the end of his limit with his patience.

"Shut it Kid Mouth. Settle down, none of us have any idea what the mission is, hence why we are waiting for a briefing." Robin sighed, rolling his eyes at his friend.

"Shouldn't you know? After all Bats is your mentor." Kid Flash asked pointedly.

"We've gone through this before, Batman doesn't tell me everything." Robin answered, looking ready to tackle his friend. He most likely would have if Batman hadn't entered the room at that precise second. Immediately the tone of the room changed, the team all settled down in their chairs. They fell silent and watched as Batman marched through the room to the centre.

"Team. A few members of the League and I are going into space in hopes of finding out more about what happened when the Light took over. We will be away for a few days and the League agreed it would be a good idea for you to complete a training exercise while we are away. You will patrol Gotham on Saturday night. Most major villains are in Arkham so there shouldn't be too much trouble." Batman explained as the team's expressions changed from surprise, excitement, anxiety and a few others. They were excited to have a mission again but in Gotham? That was a whole different thing.

Batman continued seeing Robin about to protest. "Robin will be in charge and you will have to listen to our rules while you are in our city." With that a smirk appeared on Robin's lips. He had a plan. Now he just had to phone a few people.

It was late Saturday evening when the team met up as scheduled on top of the Wayne Enterprises building. The sun was still setting in the distance and a cold breeze raced through the polluted air. The group of heroes stood on the building, in costume ready for the chance to prove themselves. Most of them had done patrol in their cities so knew the basics of what the mission would likely entail but Gotham was a whole different ball park. They'd heard plenty of stories from both the news and Robin himself, so they would really be relying on the Boy Wonder to guide them.
