"Ariiii, can we start the Robin Games yet?" Lilly whined. Ari kept their eyes glued to their screen, not paying much attention to their apprentice.

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't destroy the multiverse," Ari instructed. Lilly grinned, eyes lighting up and scythe in hand.

"And if I destroy a universe or two?"

"Then that's fine. As long as there are still some universes left behind, I don't care what you do. Run wild, my child."

"Then!" Lilly walked to the front, holding her arms up in excitement. Ari looked up from their phone as it started.

"Let the Robin Games begin!"

~~~

Puzzle was annoyed. Extremely annoyed. Just as he had begun to accept his current situation, everything fucking changed again. Ari had created a Robin Games, but the game was never actually fully completed. Which was fine in Puzzle's opinion, because that meant he didn't have to do shit.

But now his fucking adopted sister had taken over the Robin Games and she was just as - if not more - psychotic than Ari. If he was presented the chance, he was gonna posion the little bitch. He huffed, knowing that would be a lot harder than he wanted it to be. Not only did that require actual effort, but she would likely have the same powers as Ari when in charge, plus with her assassination skills and shit, it would be hard to do anything. He'd still try anyways. He was so done with this shit.

Trudging through the thick forest was also bothering him. As much as Puzzle loved being left the fuck alone, and the quiet; it just wasn't right. At first, Puzzle barely even noticed it, but now that he thought about it, he found it oddly annoying. He was in a fucking forest, where was all the goddamn noise? It was absolutely quiet. There was no sounds of animals or even of the leaves rustling, just, quiet. Puzzle kept walking for a while, trying his best to just keep going and not be annoyed at everything - it was harder than he hoped. Eventually, he heard the sound of water rushing and he began to head towards the source.

Puzzle stopped walking. In front of him, glitchy and weird as ever, was you guessed it, Glitch. Glitch was crouching in front of the stream, staring intently at the water. Glitch shifted, turning around as he sensed a presence behind him. His eyes landed on Puzzle.

"You gonna kill me or team up with me?" Puzzle asked almost immediately. He just wanted to get this shit over with. He had other crap to be doing. He could be selling his drugs and making money right about now, but no. He had to be here in the next fucking Robin games with some other lameass Robins who were different to him. They were barely even Robins anymore as well, which almost made Puzzle curious. Not curious enough though. He knew they definitely were different versions of himself, it had been proven. Sort of. Good enough. No fucks were really given here.

Glitch stared at him for a few moments, assessing the situation.

"tEam Up," Glitch replied, standing up. Puzzle nodded, walking up to him. Puzzle had vague memories of people asking them questions so he could just about make out a few of Glitch's answers which helped Puzzle piece together his memories about what he knew about Glitch. Didn't they try to fuse at one point? ...Didn't that also create a son for them? Whatever. Puzzle decided to push those memories away. They were unimportant for now.

"wHAt dO We dO NoW?" Glitch asked.

"We try to find the others. We'll decide what to do when we find them," Puzzle replied curtly. "And if we see my sister, we kill her straight away."

"yOu hAvE a SiSteR?"

"Lilly, the one who took over the Robin Games. Through Ari, yes, we are unfortunately related."

"If ShE Is yOuR sISTer WhY dOeS ShE iNcLuDe yOu In THe gAmeS?"

"Because shes a little bitch," Puzzle hissed angrily. Laughing echoed through the forest, alerting the two. Puzzle scowled, realising that said little bitch was laughing at him.

"C'mon," Puzzle grumbled. "Let's just get this shit over with." Glitch nodded, quietly following after Puzzle.

Renegade was so done with life. Why, just why did there have to be another Robin Games? Why couldn't they just leave it alone? Why couldn't they just have him return home back to Batman and Alfred and the team and everyone else?

Renegade groaned. He didn't want to fight anyone. He didn't want to kill anyone. He would gladly allow the other's to kill him, but he had people waiting for him back home. He didn't want to worry them anymore than he already had. Who knows how long he had been gone for? Actually, had he even been gone at all? Time was so messed up here, Renegade couldn't tell if he had been here for a few hours or a few days. Was everything included? How long was it since everything started? Heck, when did everything start? Which event even started it all?

He didn't know and that frustrated him. He hated not knowing. How could he not know? He couldn't even see the sun anywhere so he couldn't tell the time through the position of the sun. Wait a minute, if there was no sun then how was it light-? Renegade groaned. He wasn't getting anywhere.

He just wanted to go back home to Alfred's cookies. He had good cookies.

Renegade stared out at the open space before him as he sat upon a large rock. It looked as though he had been placed in a sort of desert-mountain area. It was all rock everywhere and there wasn't really any plants anywhere either. It wasn't sandy so he couldn't exactly say it was a desert. But deserts could be well, deserts, without sand. There was also no mountains to speak off so he couldn't really say that either. He couldn't see any wildlife either so he couldn't determine what kind of terrain it was by the species alone.

He heard someone walking up behind him. It didn't sound like they were trying to sneak up on him either, considering they made basically no effort to be quiet. Renegade turned around to see one of the younger Robins; Mute. Renegade breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered this one. He was nice and he didn't seem like he would hurt a fly.

"Let's team up?" Renegade offered kindly. Mute nodded straight away, happy to have found a good Robin to team up with. He didn't want to hurt either. Renegade jumped from the rock, heading towards Mute. "Let's go this way then?" Renegade asked, pointing to the direction he was formerly headed in before he decided to stop. Mute nodded and began walking in the direction Renegade had pointed out. Renegade smiled. He was extremely glad he had found a good Robin to team up with, even if Mute may be unable to fight.

"GODDAMMIT JAY, JUST LET GO!" Blue screamed in anger.

"No!" Jay screamed back, clinging to Blue's leg. The two had met in a forest, a much more normal and tame jungle than the one Puzzle and Glitch were currently occupying. The trees were bright and it seemed like the kind of forest you'd find in a park, just that it stretched far further than what it would in a park.

The two had stumbled across each other's paths, in search of, well, anything really. The second Blue and Jay had noticed each other, Blue remembered Jay from the Ask Book and everything that had happened in said Ask Book. Immediately, he had turned back to the direction he was coming from and attempted to walk away from the other. There was now was he was teaming up with Jay. Though that meant the other option was to kill Jay, he wasn't exactly willing to do that either.

Before Blue could get too far, Jay had tackled his legs to stop him from going anywhere. Blue had almost fallen over, but managed to catch his balance at the last second. Now Jay was currently clinging to his leg like his life depended on it, refusing to let go.

"I SAID LET ME GO, DAMMIT!"

"AND I SAID NO. Just team up with me and I'll let you go!" Jay cried, tightening his grip on Blue's leg.

"I don't want to team up with you, so let go!" Was Blue's immediate reply.

"But you have to team up with me!"

"No I don't!"

"Then just admit you're gay instead!"

"I'M NOT GAY!" Blue roared.

"You totally are! Look at you, how could you not be gay?!" Jay gestured to Blue as if it was the most obvious thing in the universe. Blue thrashed around more, trying to send Jay flying. Jay yelped as Blue kicked his leg up, and did just that - send Jay flying. Jay crashed into a tree and slid down, a bit dizzy from the impact.

Blue huffed and span around, storming away from the other. Jay looked up with a shock, noticing that Blue was leaving. He clambered to his feet and ran after Blue.

"Hey, wait up!" Jay cried.

"GO AWAY."

"No!"

And that's the first part of the Robin Games. :")

RIP Gay Blue.
