Batman: Bad Blood 2014
Chapter 8 - Return of Robin and Meeting the Batwoman

"We're all bad in some one's story. - MR. VILLAN

THIRD POV

It's 2 pm at Wayne Manor. Batman has been missing for 2 weeks now and Alfred had to do all himself.

In the batcave, lights were on but no soul in sight. All of a sudden the sound of motorbike approching the entrance echoed throught the cave

Through it, a motorbike drives in as it stops near batmobile. On the motorbike was one and only Red Hood or Y/N Todd as he get's up from the motorbike.

He looks around, getting vibes when last time he was here. He looks over direction where bat-computer is as he gets the flashback.

FLASHBACK

Y/N: "I mean It's cool, yeah - - but why all the trophies? The penny, the T-Rex, that creepy clown card. It's just - - you don't really strike me as the sentimental type, Bruce."

Y/N tells Bruce as they are watching around on the catwalk above bat-computer and behind them glass viewing with diffrent suits.

They are making a graduation photo because they just finnished their first patrol together, meaning, Y/N passed all test to be new Robin.

Bruce: "They're touchstones. A way to keep track where you've been... so you don't lose your way to where You're going."

Bruce tells young Robin.

Y/N: "That's why the graduation photo, huh?"

He said titling his head to the side as Alfred walks to them with a camera.

Alfred: "No - - This is for me. I most certainly am the sentimental type."

They turn around as they stare at the camera as Alfred adjust it.

Y/N turns his back towards Bruce as he stare at the camera.

Y/N: "So how are we doing this - - spontaneous?"

He says smrking.

Bruce: "Serious."

But Bruce responed in neutral tone as he stares at the camera with no emotion on his face.

Y/N: "Sexy?"

Bruce: "Serious."

Alfred: "Really sirs - - 'chese' will do."

END OF FLASHBACK

Flashback ends as Y/N is standing near that place on the cat walk. He turns around and what cought his attention is that he was now directly staring at a suit. But not any suit.

He was staring at Robin suit, actually the 3rd Robin, Damian Wayne, suit. But him watching it more, he can see it that is actually his suit he once wore. It looks like they modern it up.

Seconds pass in silence as he stares it, but he knows that he is begin watched.

Red Hood: "I know you are there... Alfred."

He turns his head to his left as he now sees Alfred standing there, with a small shock and surprise on his face, but no fear.

Y/N knows Alfred isn't one who talks first so he lowers his hood down and takes off his helmet, only domino remaining on his face.

Y/N: "It's nice to see you too..."

He turns his gaze towards Robin suit.

Y/N: "I gotta say, not bad, you did good job on the uniform."

Alfred knows now Y/N isn't here to cause trouble as he sighs and walks over to him.

Alfred: "I knew Master Damian would like it, but there was no spare suits...it was painful redisigning your uniform."

Y/N: "I guess he came unannounced so he got the suit anyway?"

Alfred: "No, master Bruce never wan - -"

Y/N: "I know, Alfred, I know. But he needed a Robin and he got him again... maybe even better one..."

Y/N shifts his eyes down gaze as Alfred widen his eyes at the statement.

Alfred: "Master Y/N, you were just talented as master Damian was. Maybe even better in respecting manners."

Y/N chuckles sliglty before turning to serious.

Y/N: "Did Bruce send any signals?"

Alfred: "Yes. 3 times this week, but it never located his location."

Y/N: "Thank god, he's alive."

Alfred: "What do you mean alive?"

Y/N turns to Alfred and sighs.

Y/N: "I witness him going into an warehouse which exploded, but I never seen him escaping. I found some blades there."

Y/N goes to his belt as he takes out one blade he found in a warehouse.

Y/N: "Look familiar?"

Alfred: "No. Never I think I saw one like that exits."

Y/N: "Correct, because this was just invented last year."

Alfred: "Last year?"

Y/N: "I was still in India when I saw same design in one of the shops."

Y/N puts blade away.

Y/N: "So whoever kidnapped Batman, difinetly visited India or he is from India."

Alfred: "The league. But League was dissolved after Ra's death and now many are fighting for control."

Y/N: "Yes, but atleast we know a clue. Have you called Dick?"

Alfred: "Yes. He should be h - -"

Beeping caught their attention as they look at the bat-computer.

Alfred: "Oh dear, it's the meeting in Wayne Enterprises."

Y/N taps Alfred by the shoulder.

Y/N: "I'll be upstairs."

Alfred looks at him, not amused as Y/N innocently smirks and turns away to go but stops.

Y/N: "After this is done... I'll leave."

Alfred goes to say something but Y/N cuts him.

Y/N: "I'm still... finding my own path...in all of this."

Alfred doesn't say and nods, understanding what he meant because there is another Robin with same problem.

Y/N turns and walks upstairs.

[TIMESKIP]

Y/N walks back to batcave but stops and hides behind the wall and puts his helmet on because he sees Dick in his Nightwing suit, who just arrived on his ride, sneaking to the cat walk while Alfred is posing as Bruce on the meeting.

Alfred(Bruce): "I think we're done here. If any of you have further concerns, bring them to Lucius. He's more than capable of handling things while I'm gone."

Alfred stated and with out furthermore talking he hangs up and removes headset of his head as he leans in the chair.

Alfred:" Oh, dear."

He sighs out as he puts his hand on his head.

Dick:" I'd watch those "bloody hell's", governor."

Alfred jump at the voice and looks up and sees Dick leaning on the railing.

Dick: "Don't want to be giving yourself away."

Dick grins.

Alfred: "Master Dick. It's bad manners to sneak up on a person like that."

Alfred says as he lower his head.

Dick: "Sneaking up on people is kind of what we do around here, Alfred."

Dick says as he puts his hands on his hips as Alfred looks at him again.

Dick: "That's a joke."

Alfred: "We are not amused."

Dick: "I'm not exactly in a festive mood either."

He says as he turns and leans his back at the railing.

Dick: "How long has he been gone?"

Alfred: "Two weeks, one day, 15 hours."

Dick: "Wouldn't be the first time."

Dick respond as he crosses his arms on his chest.

Alfred: "But he's never been gone this long without notifying me in some way. Last night, the signal was up for an hour. Third time this week. And if the police are aware of his absence, then you can be certain the criminal class is as well."

While Alfred is talking, Dick walks over to the one of glass viewing which has old Batman suit in it.

Alfred: "There's already been a sharp uptick in underworld activities. If Batman doesn't return soon - -"

Dick: "I know. All bloody hell's gonna break loose."

Dick stares at suit which seems perfect fit for him.

Dick: "Even when you've disappeared, I can't get away from you."

???: "Think it will fit?"

Dick widen his eyes as he hears chuckling to his left, which isn't Alfred's.

He turns and sees Red Hood leaning on the railing, one arm stretched out at him and suit.

Dick immidently stands in fighting pose, but Red Hood rises his hands in surrender way.

Red Hood: "Woah, Woah there. I'm not here to fight. Jeez, calm down, Dick."

Dick widen his eyes in shock.

Dick: "How do you know me, Hood!?"

Dick states in demanding tone as he approches Hood, on high alert if he tries anything.

Red Hood: "The way I know Bruce Wayne is Batman."

Dick stops as he has questionable face.

Red Hood: "Look. I'm here to help you find Batman."

Dick: "How can I trust you?"

Red Hood walks over to Dick, now both facing each other, even if Dick is taller then Hood.

Red Hood: "I'm not here to gain your trust, just help find Batman."

Dick doesn't seem to bought it as Red Hood sighs under the helmet.

Red Hood: "I'm not evil. Or good. I'm just practical as hell."

Red Hood says as he titles his head to the side. Dick looks over to Alfred.

Alfred: "I believe what he's saying is true, master Dick."

Dick is surprises by what Alfred said.

Red Hood: "Look, I know the location where Batman went missing."

Dick: "How?"

Red Hood: "I spotted him heading there while interrogating a scum working for a new leader of rival gang  of Black Mask in town."

Red Hood says as he moves over to the railing and puts both of his hands on it as Dick stare at him, still suspicious.

Red Hood: "I think Batman missing is connected to the leader of new gang."

Dick raise an eyebrow.

Dick: "How can you be sure?"

Red Hood turns around as he hands him a blade.

Red Hood: "I found this there. It's one of new Leagues blades."

Dick: "So the leader is from the League?"

Red Hood: "Most likely. I can take you there, but we gotta first stop a arms shipment of Black Mask in Gotham port which is tonight. He is preparing to bring war to the rivals."

Dick thinks this through for the second before responding.

Dick: "Deal. But if you try - -"

Red Hood: "Don't have to tell me twice."

Dick: "I never said it?"

Red Hood: "You, no. But Batman, yes. Suit up... Batman."

Red Hood taps Dick by the shoulder as he walks down stairs.

Red Hood walks over to Alfred as Dick goes to change into Batman suit.

Alfred: "Why didn't you tell him?"

Alfred whispers.

Red Hood: "I know he has the burden for not begin there when I died. I don't want to increase that burden if he knows I'm behind the helmet."

Red Hood whispers back as he walks over to his motorbike, to prepare his gudgets.

Red Hood: "And I might need rubber bullets."

Red Hood states as Alfred nods and walks to get him some.

[TIMESKIP]

It's night time in Gotham as we see batmobile just turning a corner as in it, new Batman and Red Hood are driving towards Gotham's port.

Dick: "So let me get this right. You been fighting crime for 3 months and didn't kill anyone?"

Dick states as Red Hood is reloading his guns with rubber bullets.

Red Hood: "Correct."

Dick: "Why so quick change in of style?"

Red Hood: "It's... compicated."

Red Hood says. Dick now concentrates on the red bat symbol on his chest.

Dick: "You know, wearing that symbol doesn't make you a hero. It makes you a target."

Red Hood: "Yeah, but the target that everyone fears."

Dick: "Just like Batman..."

Dick sighs out as he sees that Red Hood knows more about them then he thought.

Once they arrived at the port, they parked the batmobile and sneakily made out the way into the warehouse.

They made sure not to be seen as they climb their way up on the roof pillars as they stare down at Black Mask and his gang around a truck.

Batman(Dick): "Grenade launchers? You sure they aren't preparing for you?"

Dick whispers with a smirk.

Red Hood: "Ha, ha, very funny."

Red Hood sarcasticly responds as they get up and move closer to the gang.

Black Mask walks over to one of the crates and takes out one Grenade launchers in his hands.

B. Mask: "New guy thinks he can move in. I'm gonna show those punks who's top dog around here. Gotham's my bitch."

He says as he inspects the gun.

Batman: "Which makes you mine, Mask."

Dick spoke out, as he and Red Hood stand up as the gang looks up at them.

Dick's cape is fluttering at what little breeze was flowing by him, same can be said for Red Hood's hood and jacket.

Red Hood: "Howdy. Long time no see, Blackie?"

B. Mask: "You two are supposed to be dead. Especialy, you Red Foot."

Red Hood: "Oh, he just fucked up."

Red Hood thought as he narrows his eyes at black idiot down there.

B. Mask: "Let me fix that for you."

Gang starts shooting bullets and Black Mask shoots a grenade at the two as Batman runs to the left and Red Hood to the right as explosion from the grenade happens.

Gang starts to look up, to find two vigilantes. Then Batman comes grapling by as he takes out one thug and Black Mask shoots a grenade towards that way but hits a roof.

Then Batman takes out another thug. Red Hood then dropes on the thug behind Black Mask and quickly jumps away as thug shoots bullets at him and Black Mask shoots a grenade but again misses.

Then the final thug is taken down by Batman who grapples away as Black Mask again shoots a grenade and misses like his a stormtrooper.

B. Mask: "Damn it!"

Just as he said that, Red Hood jumps behind him and roundhouse kicks Black Mask who is sent flying into the car and false down on the ground.

Batman drops next to Red Hood as they both walk towards Black Mask.

B. Mask: "I bet 100 grand that you two were dead this time."

Black Mask muses to them as Batman knees down to his eye level.

Batman: "You lost. Twice."

Batman informed as Red Hood almost started laughing at his "Batman voice".

Red Hood: "Why he sounded like he had a cold?"

B. Mask: "Always bet on black."

Black Mask chuckles. Batman and Red Hood then hear guns cocking as they turn around and see more thugs aiming their guns at them.

They start bullets at them, but they have stormtrooper aim which allows for Batman and Red Hood throw some batarangs at them as Batman grapples onto the truck and Red Hood runs to the side as four thugs shoots guns at him.

Red Hood runs as bullets fly pass him.

Thug: "Get back here, Red Foot!"

One of thugs yelled as Red Hood flips on one of the crates and quickly flips down as he took the cover. Red Hood takes out his duel pistols.

Red Hood jumps out the cover as he shoots rubber bullets, shooting down 2 thugs.

Red Hood then runs at one thug who tries to shoot him, but Hood kicks his weapon out of his hand and shoots him down.

The last thug goes to hit him from behind, but Red Hood just kicks him in his manhood.

Red Hood: "Vibe check."

He turns around kicks the thug away.

Red Hood turns and sees that Black Mask was ready to shoot grenade at him when a sai went into a launcher as it explodes into Black Mask's face as he lays down and holds his head in pain.

Red Hood: "Whata?"

Then Robin drops down infront of Black Mask as Red Hood widen his eyes.

B. Mask: "Robin? Some body kill this freaking kid!"

Robin turns around as he runs at the truck which starts to move. One thug fires from the machine gun as Robin dodges incoming bullets. Robin then runs on top the crates as he is soon joined by Red Hood on his side as they dodge bullets.

Then Batman jumps on the roof the car, but thug shoot bullets through the roof as Batman backs away before he swings in the truck and takes out the thug on the machine gun.

Robin and Red Hood jump onto moving truck, holding to the sides as they move foward towards the driver.

Both of them widen their eyes as they see the truck was going to drive through a gates, which it did, but they didn't fall off.

They make their way towards the driver, as he sees them through the side mirrow.

Thug takes out the gun as Robin makes way towards the open window of the truck. Thug tries to shoot Robin in the face, but Robin punches the thug in the face and truck starts to swerve.

Red Hood and Robin then grapples away as the truck tips over.

Batman who was inside, jumped put in time. He gets up as truck collided with the crates in the distance and exploded.

Batman groans as he puts his hand on his head as Robin and Red Hood jump next to him, as Batman looks at them, more especialy Robin as he puts his hands on his hips.

Robin&Red Hood: "What?"

They say in unison as Red Hood and Robin both look at each other.

Red Hood: "I like him."

Red Hood stated as he looked over at Batman.

Robin: "Who is he? Black Mask's Rip-off?"

Robin said as he turned to Batman. Red Hood groans at hearing that.

Red Hood: "And I don't like him."

Red Hood mumbles under his breath.

Batman: "I'll explain later. He and me could've handle this together."

Dick says using his horrible "batman voice".

Robin: "If that's your best Batman, you're not not gonna fool anyone... Grayson."

Robin stated as Red Hood snorted in amusement.

Red Hood: "Busted."

Red Hood said as Dick gave Damian an sarcastic smile.

Dick: "Maybe you'd like a megaphone to announce that?"

Dick teased.

Red Hood: "Oh, sure, got one in your utility belt?"

Red Hood joke as Dick gave him the look, but not the one that Batman could give.

Robin: "Mind explain who is he now?"

Robin stated as he look at Red Hood.

Red Hood: "The guy who is here to help you find Batman."

Robin: "You look more like a criminal."

Red Hood just gave him the look as Robin grins.

Then they here police sirens in the distance. And then truck explodes more behind them as they flinch at it and Dick gave one last look to Damian.

Then they ran off towards the location of batmobile.

Robin: "Do you have a name?"

Red Hood: "Red Hood."

Robin: "You have cool suit."

Robin said as they come over to the batmobile as Red Hood looks at him surprised.

Robin: "And you have better bat symbol then Dick."

Damian stated as he pointed at Dick as Dick gets offened.

Dick: "Hey. He is the crim - -"

Dick sees that Red Hood is giving him a stare.

Dick: "- - former criminal who fights crime now and wear's that symbol which real reason he doesn't want to share."

Dick finnished as Red Hood titls his head in "thank you" way.

They walk over the batmobile. Red Hood goes to jump in passenger seat, but Damian pass him and jump into it.

Red Hood: "Rude."

Red Hood says as he sighs and gets into the backseat as roof closes and Dick drives off.

Three of them were in the car, as they are driving towards the location Red Hood last saw Batman.

Damian: "So you nearly killed my father and Dick?"

Damian asked. While they were driving, Red Hood and Dick explained who is Hood and what happent 3 months ago.

Red Hood: "I never intended on killing them, just shown Batman some people must be killed, that's all."

Dick: "But you still killed people no matter what."

Red Hood: "Give me a break, okay. You don't think I tried to avoided that many deaths as you two failed to save many more from the Joker."

Red Hood tells as he leans in his seat crossing his arms. Dick stays silent before responding.

Dick: "Killing him won't change anything."

Red Hood: "I know that, but try tell that to all who have sufferd by his hand. "

Red Hood angrly stated as Dick stayed silent as Damian just listen to them. Red Hood thought for second what he just said.

Red Hood: "Look, I'm sorry, maybe I went... to far...knowing about his... death."

Damian can see that Dick has sad face but and surprise face.

Dick: "You know... his name too?"

Red Hood: "How not. He is the reason why I started all this... he lived on the streets just like me."

Red Hood finnished as he bite his tongue of this lying but he can't tell them.

Damian seeing the awkward  situation, decides to end it as he leans on the window and spoke.

Damian: "There's no way you two are gonna pull this off without my help."

Red Hood looks at him, knowing what is doing and facepalms.

Red Hood: "Yeah, suree."

Dick: "Modest as ever, I see."

Dick jokes.

Damian: "I'm more Batman than you'll ever be. Just follow my lead."

Damian said with a smirk.

Then they hear beeping and Dick presses the button which pops up the screen on which they see they begin followed by someone on the motorbike.

Dick: "We're begin followed."

Dick points out as Red Hood again facepalms and Damian chuckles at that Hood's reaction.

Red Hood: "The way to state the obvious."

Red Hood says bluntly as Dick steps on the gas and speeds off, as motorbike follows them.

They turn corners until Dick drives into a alleyway.

Then, Batwoman drives in and stops as is surpised that batmobile just stoped.

She gets off the bike and walks over to the batmobile as she trues to look inside through the window.

Batman: "You've been tracking me all night."

She looks behind herself and sees Batman, Robin and Red Hood near her bike.

Dick has said on his bad "Batman voice" as Damian leans againts Batwoman's bike, looking stoic as normal as Red Hood is standing on Dick's left side with crossed arms as he is stoic as normal as Damian.

Batman: "I want to know why."

Dick stated as he walk closer to the Batwoman.

Batwoman walks closer as she stares at Dick.

Batwoman: "First, tell me why you're running around Gotham playing dress-up. I'm guessing Nightwing?"

She says, as Damian walks closer, so does Red Hood who snickeres at this as Dick narrows his eyes at her through the cowl.

Damian: "Hmm! Busted."

Damian says with a smirk on his face as Batman walks closer.

Batwoman: "Actually, I think he's more than capable of fooling most people. And you're certainly not gonna pass for Batman, short stack."

Batwoman sassed back as she looks at Robin.

Red Hood: "Ouch."

Damian: "Who the hell are you!?"

Damian demanded, obviously angry.

Batman: "Easy, Robin."

Dick soothed holding an arm out to stop him from attacking.

Batman: "Tell me what you want and why you've been following me."

Dick softly says to Batwoman.

Batwoman: "I just had to make sure. You see, I was there the night Batman died."

Batwoman informed them as Dick and Damian surprised looked over at Red Hood for the answer as Red Hood questionbly stares at Batwoman, obviously on her lack of skills of judging people's deaths.
