Chapter 8: The talk.

--------Robin's P.O.V.-----------

I've only been at the mountain for a couple of hours, and I haven't left my new room since I got here. Once Wally sped me here, I immediately pushed me out, claiming to want some time alone. After that, I pulled my laptop out, and began frantically researching Slade. I've been at it for 6 hours already and haven't come up with a single lead. I groaned and pushed the screen down.
The team might be worried, so I decided I should go see what their up to. I knew I'd regret it later, but I suppose it's something that needs to be done.
I walked into the main room, to see Conner watching static, as usual, Wally was complaining about him being bored while Artemis tried to get him to shut as she read a magazine. Kaldurr was reading a book, and I couldn't see M'gann so I could only guess she was burning something again. Okay that's mean. She's probably cooking in the kitchen. For someone who's weakness is fire, she sure spends a lot of time around it.
"Sup!" I called. Wally's head snapped up, and he sped over straight away.
"Dude! There you are! I'm so bored! We've gotta do something!" Wally pleaded, attaching himself to my arm.
"So bored you forgot about Dignity?" I asked, gesturing to my arm. He mumbled something I couldn't decipher before letting go.
"Since when has Wally had any dignity?" Artemis asked.
"Hey! I have plenty of dignity!" Wally shouted.
"Don't be too sure of that." I muttered walking past him.
"Dude!" He whined behind me.
"Sup?" I asked, flipping over the couch to watch static with Connor. He didn't even budge. What the hell does he see in static anyway?
Miss M came flying in with a tray of burnt cookies. At least I'm assuming they were cookies... I couldn't tell.
"Who wants cookies?" She sang. Guess it's cookies after all.
"I do green cheeks! But I want you more..." Wally flirted. (Failed.) He took four cookies in each hand before shoving them in his big mouth.
"Artemis?"
"Nah. Had some before I came thanks."
"Kaldurr?"
"My most sincere apologies Miss Martian. As much as I would love to have some I am currently full."
"Oh okay... Super boy."
A grunt.
"Robin?"
"Sorry Miss M. Not really hungry after today..."
She frowned but immediately smiled again.
"Its okay. It's been a hard day for you." She nodded in understanding before turning back to Wally.
"Would you like some more?"
"YES!"
And that's the story of how there were no cookies left in the end.

"Hey Rob." Wally called.
"What?" I replied.
"Can I talk to you real quick?"
"Is it about something stupid?"
"No."
"Lies." There was silence for a couple of minutes before I eventually spoke up again.
"But we can talk anyways." I sighed.
"In private?"
"Why not?"

Wally shut the door behind himself just as I sat down on my bed.
"What's up?" I asked. Wally turned around, looking serious. Something tells me this isn't gonna turn out right.
"We need to talk."
Suddenly a stupid talk sounds better then this. I narrowed my eyes at him even though he couldn't see me.
"What?" I repeated.
"What really happened at the mountain? The league questioned us, and when I asked they said you didn't tell them anything. Rob... What happened out there?"
"I'm not sure myself. It's kind of fuzzy..." I said. Not a entirely a lie. My constant nightmares afterwards really messed up my head. I just don't know what to think anymore...
"Stop lying Robin. Just tell me the truth."
"I can't KF."
"Why? Why can't you tell me?!" He shouted, taking a couple of steps forwards.
"I just can't!" I shouted back.
"Why?!"
Don't tell Batman anything about me. Otherwise the world will knew the league more than before.
I'm pretty sure that goes to the rest of the league. He knows Wally's identities as well... That could put him in danger.
And I'm not about to put him in danger because of my problem.
"Just drop it KF!" I shouted.
Silence pasted between us, both of us glaring at each other. KF dropped his glare and frowned at me.
"Why won't you tell me?" He asked sadly, his voice low.
"KF, It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's that I can't."
Gears seemed to be turning in his head aa he thought about what I just said. His face took in a darker look.
"He threatened you, didn't he?" Wally accused, keeping his voice low. My face fell, and my stomach dropped.
"I... He..." I didn't know what to say.
"I knew it! He did! He threatened you!"
"Wally, you can't tell anyone. You-" I started, but was cut off as Wally turned to glare at me.
"Can't tell anyone? Can't tell anyone?! I course I'm gonna tell someone!"
He made a move to leave, but I quickly jumped over to him, and grabbed his wrist pulling him back.
"Wally! Please! You can't tell them! You can't tell Batman..." I begged.
"Rob... How exactly did he threaten you?" Wallet asked, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"He... He knows the whole league's identity... I can't tell you anything about him..." I trailed off.
"Otherwise the whole world will know the identities of the league." He finished. I nodded.
"This is bad... Really bad..." He muttered, beginning to pace the room. I sighed and sat back down on my bed.
"I know... Oh, and Wally..."
"Yeah?"
"He knows you too."
"Seriously?"
"Afraid so. Even if the league doesn't care about their identities becoming known to the world... It's... It's just... M'gann and Connor... They just started school. Connor's never had a chance to have a normal life. Heck, he's only been alive for a few months! And Miss M... She loved school, and she really wants to stay there... I just... Don't want to ruin it for them... You know?"
Wally looked at me sadly before nodding.
"I don't want to ruin their lives because of my problem. I'll sort it out... Somehow."
"Dude! You can't just take him on by yourself! You need the league this time! This guy took down Batman and Red Hood! You don't stand a chance going up against him alone! Don't you remember what he did to you?!"
"I know... But in all fairness Hood was majorly pissed, so I'm pretty sure he was just shooting at Sla- I mean the guy randomly and Batman had to keep dodging bullets every now and then. You know how Hood is sometimes."
KF nodded again.
"Suppose your right..." Then he turned to glare at me. "You know who he is." He stated.
I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Tell me! I can help!"
"No KF, you can't. And like I said, I can't tell anyone! And besides... He said he had other types of blackmail he could use against me if the identities weren't enough.. I doubt he was bluffing. He's prepared. And frankly, I don't really look forward to even more blackmail."
"That's exactly why you should tell the league!"
"No KF! I won't tell the league! And neither will you!"
Wally stared at me, both of us having a glaring compitions. Wally groaned, signallig that he was giving up. He threw his hands in the air out of frustration.
"Well what do we do then?!"
"We? We do nothing. I do something."
"What can you even do against that guy?"
"I don't know yet. I'll figure it out... Somehow... Besides I know a lot more about him right now then I did before. I'll work on finding out who he is." I stated, getting up and walking over to my computer.
"Do you even know what he's planning? What his motives are? He's clearly after you! Even I can see that! I think... Pretty sure he's after you..." KF trailed off. I froze in my tracks. His motives? To make me his apprentice. His plan? Probably to break me down and rebuild me into the perfect solider. Yes. He's definitely after me. Wait a minute... He didn't kill Batman... Was he try to prove he wasn't after him, and really was after me?
Wally narrowed his eyes at me.
"You know what he's planning don't you?"
I face-palm.
"Dammit! How could I have not seen it before?!"
Wally gives me a weird look. I groan and fall onto my bed.
"Dude?! What?! Tell me!"
Slade was the anonymous tip! He knew Batman would send me where he did, and he waited for me! It was a trap! Sure it actually helped the league and world greatly... But he still set the whole thing up! He's hunting for my weak points. He knows more about me then I know about myself.
He's even smarter then I thought.
He's even stronger then I thought.
He's even more of a problem then I thought
This is going to be a lot harder then I thought.
Why is nothing ever easy?
"Dude?" Wally asked.
"Sorry KF. I need some time to think. I'm pretty sure I just figured something out." I turn to my head to look at him slightly.
"No way. Not until-" He starts.
"Please." I interrupt. He stares at me for a while before sighing.
"Fine. But we're finishing this later." He said. He looked reluctant to go, but he eventually turned around and left. I sighed and turned around to face the ceiling.
I've got a lot of thinking to do.
If only I could tell the Justice League... The one time I actually need and want their help... 

DAMMIT!

--- 3rd Person P.O.V.---------

Too bad he didn't know about the hidden camera Batman had hid in his room.
Too bad he didn't know the entire league watched the whole footage live.

"This is going to be an even bigger problem then I thought." Batman sighed.
"Ya think?!" The Flash retorted.
"We really have no idea what we're up against. Do we?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Not a clue. Only Robin knows now." Green Arrow sighed.
"Looks like it's up to him until we can find the solution..." Superman muttered.
"For now, all we can do is hide him." Batman stated.
Various members of the league nodded in agreement.

If only they knew about the tracker Slade had slipped into Robin when he pulled the stitches open.

They really don't know what they're up against.
But then again, neither does Robin.
If only they knew about the darker intentions behind it all...

And the plans that man has already set in action.

Robin's already broken as it is.
Now, we're going over the extremes.

Seeping through the cracks, you won't even know he's there.

The devil within.

Once you break a mirror, you can put it back together again. But you can always see the crack.

This is probably going to be the biggest crack you've ever seen.

I am so proud of this chapter! I think it really sets the dark future into motion. And damn I feel so evil right now...
If only you knew what Slade had planned.....
