First Encounter
I don't own YJ or TS
I'm just gonna apologize in advance because I am terrible at writing fight scenes. I'm probably going to be doing way to much telling and barley any showing.
Dick P.O.V
Before I left Wally's apartment I put on concealer to hide the hand shaped bruise on my face. It was red and swollen, I found myself wincing as I applied the makeup. If it weren't for the fact that she was a spy I would be surprised that she could slap that hard. I zeta tubed back to my own apartment in Blüdhaven. I put my comm in then changed into my costume. Time for patrol. I smiled as I jumped from building to building enjoying the rush of adrenaline that came with it. I rolled when I landed on the next building and crouched on the ledge listening. After a moment I heard a scream.
I smirked and chased after the sound. It wasn't anything to big just a lady getting mugged at gunpoint. I dropped down behind the mugger silently.
"You know this is getting just a little repetitive isn't it?" I questioned. The mugger spun around to face me and I punched him in the face effectively knocking him unconscious. I picked up the lady's purse and handed it to her.
"Here you go ma'am," I said politely. I found myself staring at her she looked familiar but I couldn't place a name to the face. She had her blonde wavy hair tied half up and half down with a navy blue ribbon and her bangs cut short enough that they didn't cover her blue eyes, a one shoulder pink dress with a three layered skirt, white trim and white belt, and white shoes.
(this outfit but with different hair)
"Thank you Nightwing," she responded as she took the bag. She was giving me that starry eyed gaze that every single girl gives me. I nodded my head and gave a little wave as I used my grappling hook to get back onto the rooftop.
"Robin to Nightwing," I heard Tim's voice say through the comm. I reached my hand up to my ear and answered.
"Nightwing here."
"Nightwing we might have a small problem."
"Define the words small and problem."
"Can't you just ask what the problem is like a normal person?"
"Considering the last time you used the words small and problem together said problem was a de-aged Kid Flash meaning we were stuck with a mischievous six year old with super speed, and before I saw said problem and asked you what the problem was over the comms you said I just had to come and see it. No, no I cannot just ask what the problem is."
"Point taken, so the thing is-"
"WOAH!" I yelled cutting Robin off as I was tackled.
"Nightwing are you ok?" Robin asked. I managed to spin around so I was laying on my back instead of my stomach to face my attacker. I found myself face to face with a metal lion. Its mane glimmered a golden hue and its glowing red eyes looked like they were trying to melt me with heat vision. It's head rushed down at me trying to grab my neck in it's powerful jaws. Acting on reflex I brought my arm up to block. I let out a small grunt of pain as it fangs clamped onto my arm. Crimson blood trickled out of the corners of the robot's mouth.
"I'm fine just dealing with something new and I honestly can't tell if it's a step up or a step down from my usual villains."
"What is it?"
"A mechanical life size lion." As I spoke I reached for an EMP or a wing-ding from my utility belt, whichever came to hand first.
"Huh, I can honestly say that I'm not sure either. On one hand it's probably a step up from your average gang on the other hand it's definitely a step down from someone like Harley Quinn." I wrapped my hand around wing-ding half listening to Robin's musings. I rubbed my thumb against the wing-ding and recognized it as one of my taser ones. Quick as lightning I rammed the wing-ding into the lion between two plates of metal. It roared as it was electrocuted by the wing-ding allowing me to get out from under it.
"Yeah definitely a giant step down from Harley Quinn," I agreed. I grabbed my escrima sticks and dropped into a battle stance. The lion shook its head and starred at me; despite it being unable to move its face to make facial expressions I got the feeling that it was glaring at me. It lifted its head and let out a mighty roar.
"That didn't sound good," I commented.
"What didn't sound good?" questioned Robin who I had momentarily forgotten was on the comm.
"Well it either let out a battle cry or it called for backup," I answered.
"Do you need help?" he offered.
"Nah lil' bird I got this," I assured. The lion pawed at the ground like a bull getting ready to charge.
"Alright, when your done get to Mount Justice," Robin ordered.
"Will do, Nightwing out," I hung up just in time for the lion to launch itself at me. I acted, moving my feet I sprang flipping over the metal feline. While I was in the air I pulled an EMP out of my utility belt and smashed it onto the robot's back. I landed and spun around to face it with my escrima sticks at ready in case it managed to survive the EMP. The lion stood there for a moment before collapsing, its eyes dull.
"Well that was easy," I mumbled to myself with a smirk. I soon heard clanking coming from north and south sides of the building. I ran to the edge of the north side and looked down to find the source of the noise. Two robot gladiators were climbing up the sides. I jumped to the next building and grabbed six wing-dings planning on using the distance to my advantage.
I heard a thud followed by growling from behind me. I spun around at breakneck speed and saw three metal lions had come to avenge their friend. I growled in annoyance and my arm throbbed reminding me that the other lion had bitten me. I threw the wing-dings at the nearest lion and grabbed my escrima sticks. The deadly projectiles impaled themselves into the lion but it kept walking despite the pieces of metal piercing its exterior.
The lion launched at me. I smacked its face with my escrima stick. I heard a worrisome snap and felt harsh vibrations travel up my arm. I starred at the lion, in its mouth was half of my escrima stick. It began to bite down on the piece of my weapon and it snapped in two causing me to wonder why my arm wasn't broken. Four clangs behind me caused me to look over my shoulder. There were four robot gladiators standing there no doubt the ones that had been scaling the building that I was previously on. The two uninjured lions hurled themselves at me.
I rolled dodging their attack. As the lions advanced I noticed that the gladiators and remaining lion moved making a circle around us. I only had one EMP left, seven robots to take down and at least three of them were able to break my weapons. One of the lions tried to bite me while the other went to claw my legs. I shoved my broken escrima stick into its open mouth and used my remaining stick to block the incoming claws. I continued to dodge and block their advances. The third lion and gladiators stood there giving the fight a fence. I growled grabbing the last EMP from my belt I shoved my escrima stick into its holster (or is it called a sheath? If you know please tell me).
I held the small EMP between my pointer and middle finger. The lion leaped at me its razor sharp teeth shined. I rolled out of the way and threw the EMP at the lion. I stood in front of the third lion, my finger hovering over the button on my wrist to turn the EMP on. The lions leaped. I ducked causing them to soar over my head and crash into the third lion. Before they could untangle themselves I pushed the button, they fell limp.
I grabbed my escrima stick and held a wing-ding in my other hand. I brought my arms up and bent my knees in a fighting stance. The gladiators didn't move. We stood there my eyes darting to and fro but they didn't even creak.
Finally two of them lifted their right arms while the other two widened their stances. The right hands of the gladiators lit up green giving me a split second to dodge before green lasers were fired. There was a crater left on the roof from lasers. Maybe they weren't that big of step down from Harley Quinn after all. The other two smashed their hands together, a red sphere appeared around them. Before I could dodge they launched two spheres of red energy at me. The spheres sent me flying five buildings away. I groaned as my back made contact with the hard roof.
The first two jumped after me blasting lasers forcing me to go into a dodging frenzy. Despite my efforts they still managed to get a few hits; one of them hitting my already injured arm. I threw an exploding wing-ding at the arm of one the gladiators. Despite its arm having gone flying off from the explosion the machine wasn't deterred and began trying to punch and kick me. I grabbed its remaining arm and spun it around using it as a shield against the other gladiator's lasers. The robot blasted my makeshift shield in the chest successfully destroying it. I ran at the gladiator and threw another exploding wing-ding impaling the gladiators chest. Using its outstretched arm as a spring board I jumped just in time for the wing-ding to exploded. I flipped in the air and thew two more exploding wing-dings at the remaining gladiators.
But I didn't throw them soon enough. One of the gladiators fired another energy ball smacking me just as the wing-ding hit it. I yelped when I landed on another building three buildings away. I groaned and jumped to my feet. I limped to the edge of the building to get a look at the gladiators. All four gladiators had craters in their chests from the wing-dings and none of the lions had turned back on yet. I jumped from building to building wincing each time my injured leg made contact with the roof. I brought my hand up and pushed the call button on my comm.
"Nightwing to Flash."
"Flash here what do you need Nightwing?" I could here worry in his voice but he hid it well.
"I need you to get here and help me drag these things to the cave."
"What things? What happened?"
"Robots. I think it's safe to say I've had our first encounter with Felicity Fences."
"Right, I'm on my way."
And that's the chapter sorry It took so long. I really really hope that it was worth the wait and I really hope that the fight scene didn't ruin this whole chapter. Once again I apologies for my bad writing of fight scenes.
