Joker, Harley Quinn, and the goons were about to establish the greatest, most grandest crime in the city of Gotham. "Let's go, boys!" said Joker. He and the goons all called in reinforcing troops of Joker's militia, dubbed "The Clown Pack".

The Clown Pack followed Joker's orders to ransack every home of Gotham, steal gold from the Gotham National Bank, and bomb any Wayne-based buildings. "Where do we get the explosives?" asked one unlucky goon. 

Joker whistled in a van, as it pulled up. Two goons opened the back of the van, revealing an impressive array of explosives. "Woah," exclaimed the unlucky goon. He grinned and took some explosives.

Citizens screamed and tried to flee the city. "This city is no longer safe! I want to go to Metropolis or Central City instead!" they cried out. News headlines came up, warning those trapped in homes to stay safe and lock doors and windows. Bruce Wayne had also been flooded with countless e-mails about Wayne Enterprises being ransacked soon.

"No way in hell this psycho is going to win without a fight," Bruce exclaimed. Dick nodded. Suddenly, Bruce began wheezing and coughing. "What's wrong?" asked Dick. 

"Something I ate...damn it!" exclaimed Bruce. He felt as if his stomach was tightened up and pulsating rapidly to a stomach bug. "Joker must have tampered with some of the city's remaining foods, or at least his goons did while he was in Arkham," explained Bruce.

Dick sighed. "I need to go out there," he said to Bruce. "What do you mean?" asked Bruce. Alfred helped his sick master lay on a couch, putting warm blankets over him and a bucket on the floor in case Bruce vomited.

"I have to go help everyone in Gotham by myself. I know I can, I've been taught enough to hold my own," Dick replied. He crossed his arms, and scoffed. "Dick...please don't go out there," warned Bruce. "Not without you? Bruce, I need to be the hero you always wanted me to be," Dick replied with angst. 

Alfred agreed with Dick's point. "You too, Alfred?" asked Bruce in bewilderment. "Master Wayne, you have taught Dick all the skills he needed to become a hero for Gotham. People need to remember that this was Robin's part of the job now. Master Wayne, when you feel better, you may join Mr. Grayson to accompany as Batman," explained Alfred. Bruce sighed, and rested.

"Don't go, Dick. It's too dangerous. I've met Joker, he is way too dangerous, he gets in your head sometimes," exclaimed Bruce. Dick shook his head. "I have to go now Bruce. Without you," Dick declared and headed to the elevator leading to the Batcave. "Dick, no!" Bruce yelled at him.

Dick ran to his Robin suit, suited up, and got onto his speeder bike. "Wish me all the best of luck," exclaimed Robin to Alfred. "Good luck sir," Alfred said and even saluted the young boy wonder. 

Robin sped on his bike, driving through Gotham City. As he drove by an avenue, one of the buildings exploded. It was Wayne Steel, the steel manufacturing division of Wayne Enterprises. The steel mills that contained alloys of metal, exploded thereafter. Robin was horrified. 

Robin then parked his speeder bike, running across another avenue of Gotham City. He headed to an apartment containing a few civilians who were trapped inside. The apartment was going to be set ablaze, due to kerosene being splashed on the floor and walls. "Alfred! How many civilians trapped up there?" asked Robin on his walkie-talkie ear.

"Six sir," replied Alfred. Robin cracked his knuckles and ran inside the building. A young woman with her three daughters were trapped in their apartment, with two homosexual men trapped inside their apartment. 

Robin rushed into one apartment. "Everyone, get out!" he exclaimed to the family. They ran by him, picking up their belongings too. The single mother even thanked Robin by kissing him on the cheek. "Fluffy!!" cried one of the young daughters. Robin whirled his head back to the apartment room, as Fluffy the kitten was hiding under the bed. 

"I'll get her!" asserted Robin. He then dived to the ground, reaching out to the small kitten. Fluffy meowed and hissed as Robin grabbed ahold of the cat. "Yay!" hollered the young daughter. Robin handed her the kitten, evacuated the family, and then evacuated the men as well the same way.

As they all escaped, Robin saw a few of Joker's goons set several matches to the apartment, making it explode into a ball of fire. "Get down!" Robin screamed to the family and the men. They jumped to the ground into a fetal position as the explosion rocked the city.

Police sirens rang out as well. Robin knew he wasn't the only one here that was saving Gotham. "I gotta go now! You all run to safety with the police okay?" asked Robin to the survivors.

"What's your name so we can remember you?" asked the single mother. Robin paused for a moment to pant. "Robin...the Boy Wonder," he replied. Robin then ran past the GCPD officers and began to combat the goons who had blew up the apartment building.

Robin whipped one goon in the face, throwing an electric baton and shocking another goon in the face. "Argh!" cried one goon. Robin punched and flipped one goon up into the air, kicking him into the ground. Robin flipped in the air, shocking another goon and then faceplanted one more goon into the ground. 

Robin panted with rage and adrenaline. "Yoo-hoo!" said a female voice. Robin turned around to see Harley Quinn welding a baseball bat. "Who are you? Where's Joker?" asked Robin. Harley shushed him and swung her baseball bat foolishly around.

"Mistah J's upset you're here! And he told me to fight you!" Harley Quinn exclaimed. Robin charged to her, and began to combat. She was much more stronger and faster than he was. Since they both possessed acrobatic skills of fighting, it was hard to land a single punch down.

Harley elbowed Robin down to the ground. He panted and crawled backwards from her as she tried to hit him with the baseball bat. "I need you dead!" she cried. Robin got back up.

Robin was about to land a punch to Harley, but suddenly a gas container hit him on the side of the head. He fell down, confused. "What happened?" he asked. Harley tutted and walked around him in her high heels and black eye-liner. 

"Time to sleep baby," she said and whacked Robin across the face with the baseball bat. The sleeping gas also helped put Robin to complete sleep.

Zzzzz......it was all black in Robin's point of view.
