Battle against Harm

Meanwhile back at the cave
Everyone was getting up after a long well rested sleep; they all almost forgot what had transpired the day before, until they all remembered there situation and all went to regroup and of course the first thing they noticed was that Robin wasn't among them


"Where did Robin go?" asked Megan as she looked around trying to spot the young 13 year old ninja and see if he was hiding somewhere


"I'll check the room" Wally said before speeding of checking each and every room "He's not in any or the rooms, nor is that other team back yet" he said as he came back


"Something has happened that we are not aware of" Kaldur said as they all headed to the main room to see that the main screen computer had Beatle interviews, articles and photos


"I'm guessing that they came back and that they found a new mission to do and decided to either bring Robin along or Robin insisted on going with them one way or another" Zatanna said taking a look at the screen not recognized anything about who these 'Beatles' were


"So Robin gets to go on a mission with this team that doesn't trust us, while we have to stay here and wait for them to come back" Conner said annoyed that they all had to wait yet again, while one member of their team was of doing who knows where doing who knows what


"Oh I'm going to kill him!" Wally said as Conner agreed with Wally, and Artemis also silently agreeing with them as well, while Kaldur, Megan and Zatanna all looked at each trying to formulate a plan for their teammates not to kill the young bird, yet they also could not keep from being jealous about their youngest teammate being able to leave the cave. Suddenly the team hears voices and they all start looking around wildly trying to find a place to hide. When they finally find a room to hide in, they open the door slightly to see the Justice League of this world standing in front of them.


"What are they doing here?" asked Wally as Megan set up the mind link as they soundlessly closed the door, trying to avoid detection


"Whatever it is, it can't be good. Maybe it has something to do with the Young Justice team and why Red Tornado isn't here" Artemis stated


"Or they found out about us staying here" Zatanna said


"Whatever the cause we're screwed!" Wally said holding his head with his hands


"Let's not jump to conclusions. We do not know the reason for why they are here. We shall wait for the other team to return and then see what it is has happened to bring the league here in the first place" Kaldur said as they all nodded, but were still worried at being discovered


Back with the Young Justice + Robin
Meanwhile, Red Tornado had just broken into the cathedral, with Impulse, Wonder Girl and Secret following closely after him "You will come with me" he said as people started to run away while the 2 people beside the pope started shooting at the Tornado in hopes of stopping him


"You will come with me. You will- This unit recognizes bio-form Impulse. Your efforts to slow me down will prove futile" Tornado said as Impulse ran around him in circles trying to stop him "Man, he sounds weird and cold. Not sure how long I can hold him! Wonder Girl, move! MOVE!" Impulse said as he yelled over to Cassie


"Sorry, your holiness! Our friend, the red guy, isn't usually like this. If you judged him from this whole thing, you'd be making a big mistake. Which uh, isn't to say you make mistakes...you probably don't... well, not probably, I mean I...shut up Cassie, you're dissing the pope" Cassie said as she flew out of the room with the pope in hand arm and landed on one of the balcony like rooftops of the cathedral setting the pope down "Getting kind of crazy down there... so uh, we'll just stay here...until we get the all clear, sir..."


"Wonder Girl! Behind you!" Secret yelled from behind Cassie as she turned slightly to see Harm coming towards her


"Swift reactions! Well done, girl. You're strong. I'll give you that, but I'm stronger, my dear. One of my several 'blessings'" Harm said as he swung his sword towards Cassie as she ducked down, the sword only seeming to cut off some of the tips of her black hair "Not quite on Superboy's level... but more than enough to handle you" Harm continued as Cassie flew straight towards him as Secret stayed with the pope watching the battle "And you may want to rethink wasting time with me...particularly considering that there is presently a bomb implanted in your beloved Red Tornado. In a few minutes, midnight mass...becomes midnight mess" Harm said with Cassie holding him firmly in front of her


Meanwhile, Bart was still battling it off with Red Tornado "Ooooff!" Bart said as he was suddenly airborne "I really don't want to have to hurt you Tornado..." Bart said as he vibrated through the glass colourful windows "But, if I have to...!" Bart said as he suddenly appeared behind Tornado and slammed into him


Back with Harm and Wonder Girl, it seemed Harm had gotten the upper hand once more "Understand, the pope's involvement in this is somewhat irrelevant" Harm said as he slammed Cassie into the ground "Oww" she said as she started rubbing her head


"I still consider myself a super-villain in self-training...although the fewer foolish superheroes that I have dealt with once I'm an adult... the better" Harm stated as he held his sword above Cassie's head ready to strike, when suddenly his sword is stopped by a staff, but just anyone's staff; Robin's staff


"At last...the most dangerous one of all" Harm said as both Cissie and Kon were behind Rob, ready to assist him in any way possible; Cissie having her bow and arrow ready and Kon floating above them both. Suddenly a bird-a-rang flew towards Harm's way as he moved his sword away from Rob's staff and blocked the projectile before it made contact


"What was-" Harm didn't get to finish as he suddenly sees another Robin land in beside the Robin who blocked his attack "This guy is so not whelmed, not whelmed at all" Robin commented seeing what was going on down below


"The Tornado! He's got a bomb in him!" Cassie yelled over to them


"Superboy, help Impulse get the bomb! Girls, get the pope to safety! Harm's mine!" Rob said yelling out orders for his teammates to follow "But-" Kon started to stay only to be cut off by Rob "I SAID HE'S MINE!" Rob yelled out louder and angrily as they all went to do their tasks, while Robin decided to hang around Rob to help out with Harm. Getting out his escrima sticks ready and waiting for the right moment to strike


"Y'know, I never thought about how lucky we were that he was on our side" Impulse said running around moving around some of the wood that was destroyed "Wish he still was" Bart continued as Kon flew in to help out Bart


"He will be again, Imp! Just gotta remind him who he is and who his friends are!" Kon said flying towards Red Tornado


"His friends are the ones slamming him around?" Secret asked/said seemly slightly confused "Uhm...he'll understand...it's a guy thing..." Kon said as he wrapped his arms around Tornado trying to make him stop


"It seems brutal, this 'guy thing...' I'm going to try a girl thing..." Secret stated as she flew into Red Tornado


Meanwhile back with Harm and the 2 Robins, they were all getting ready for the battle to commence as they got their weapons ready and at hand


"The urban myth, given form and substance. I'm honored. Well? No witty repartee? Or is that too banal for he-who-is-legend?" Harm asked running towards Rob


"Flap your gums while you can still move your jaws, hotshot" Rob said sounding irritated


"Oh dear. Not witty at all, that" Harm said as his sword let out some knockout gas that hit Rob right in the face as Rob


"What a disappointment. You're not even worth the cost of the knockout gas" Harm said as he moved in closer to Rob, and Robin as about to move in if not for seeing Rob slam his bo staff into Harm's knees as Harm fell to the floor "An you... weren't even worth the cost of nose plugs. Or did you think I didn't learn from your stunt with Superboy" Rob said only to get kicked by Harm, but soon Rob grabbed a hold of the leg he got hit by and slammed him towards a statue beside them both "You're fast... and strong... I'll give you that..." Rob continued


"How... kin..." Harm said as he grabbed a hold of a piece of the statue that had broken off upon his impact with it "You won't mind if I give you this in return then" he continued saying as he hit Rob really hard with the hard statue stoned in his hand


"Time for you to return to the realm of the mythic, Robin. With any luck, in the retelling and building of your legend...maybe you'll be taller" Harm said as Rob was on the ground knocked out cold and unresponsive. As soon as Robin saw that Rob was out cold he ran over to harm and started to attack Harm with his escrima sticks, only for him to block his attacks


"You I do not know, nor have I ever seen you. You look similar to Robin, but to my knowledge there is only one Robin and you are not Robin" Harm said as he hit Robin that sent him back a few feet, thought not enough for him to fall of the roof


"That's right you don't know me. I am Robin and I'll show you just what it takes to be Robin!" Robin said as he slammed a smoke pellet to the ground as smoke started to surround them both as Robin tried his best to fight of Harm, while keeping a look out to make sure Rob was still where he was "What a mission this turned out to be... the team is gonna be so mad at me when they find out what they all missed out on" Robin as he almost got hit by Harm again, and decided to focus on the matter at hand, which was stopping Harm


"I see it! I see the bomb! Right in his chest cavity! Impulse!" Secret yelled out still inside Tornado as she was able to find the bomb inside of him


"I'm on it. Just vibrating my hands in...and..." Bart said as he went over to Tornado's chest and started vibrating his hands, where Secret told him too "Wow. Nice design. You just don't see this kinda craft in a bomb anymore" Bart said as he suddenly had the bomb in both hands, as Secret got out of Red Tornado


"Imp! Give it to me!" Kon said to Bart as he still held onto the bomb in both hands


"S'okay! I got it! You'll just smother the explosion... but if it's nuclear or something, the radiation'll still kill people, but I can stop it from going off!" Bart said as he ran off with the bomb


"Um... did Impulse actually think there?" Kon asked surprised still flying above the wreckage


"Excuse me... how did I... get here...?" Tornado asked confused as he seemed to be back to normal


Meanwhile Robin was slowly getting tired of his fight with Harm; he just didn't seem to stop and Robin could feel his energy slowly leave with each hit he took. Suddenly Harm kicks him that causes him to fall of the roof, at least he was able to get his grappling gun out and stop himself from falling


"You fought a good fight, Robin 2, indeed you seemed to have proven that you are a Robin as well, but either way you lost that fight" Robin heard Harm say as he suddenly looked above him and saw Harm holding Rob up above his head at the edge of the roof


"We're evenly matched Wonder Boy. This could have gone down the other way... and speaking of going down" Harm said as Robin realized what was about to happened and started to pull himself up before Harm could throw Rob, but then Robin saw as Cissie shot an arrow with a rope that tied itself onto Rob's leg as she swung from the statue that pulled Rob out of Harm's hands "I still owe you, you two-bit Zorro! And I always pay my debts!" she said as Harm fell of the roof and Robin climbed back onto the rooftop he was on awhile ago


"And the blast cap's connected to the timing fuse and the timing fuse is connected to the..." Bart said as he was running up a wall only to get hit by Harm and drop the bomb "Whoa nice catch" Bart said as Cassie caught him before he reached the ground


"Well, since you were tumbling gown the wall, it seemed the thing to do. Where's Harm?" Cassie asked the young speedster she was currently holding onto


"Still falling...you better..." Bart said before trailing of and looking around below him "Uhm... did you see a bomb around here anywh-?" Bart started to say only for the bomb to suddenly explode "Oh. There it is" he said as both him and Cassie were caught in the blast and sent flying back


"Nice disarming there, Impulse" said Kon as he caught both teens in both of his arms "Hey, I'd've made it with time to spare if he hadn't fallen on me. How fair is that?" Bart said as Kon started to fly towards the others "Thanks for saving me, SB" Cassie said very quietly


"Nuts" Rob said as he looked down below for any sign of Harm as both Robin and Cissie came up to him


"What's wrong" He's gone. He couldn't have survived that..." Cissie said but soon trailed off at the end "For starters that's not the way we defeat our foes- and yes, he could have. I'd bet anything that cape of his had glide capabilities. He could have ridden the shock wave off in any direction. Trust me, Arrowette... Guys like that have nine lives" Rob said as Cissie turned towards Robin who nodded his head agreeing with Rob


"When you live in Gotham and face the villains we have anything is possible these days" Robin commented as the 3 other members and Super-Cycle appeared as they all got in


"Robin" Cassie says as both Rob and Robin turned towards her "I mean the other team's Robin... thanks for your help... you could have betrayed or even attacked us at anytime, but you didn't and for that... you've gained my trust" she said as everyone else also nodded and Robin gave her a small smile "Thanks... that means a lot actually" he said


"Rob, why so down? You said so yourself he probably survived" Kon said from the back seat behind Rob who was currently driving them back to the cave with Red Tornado seated in front of Rob "Because I forgot myself. I was so furious at this Harm guy... I let myself turn it into a one-on-one. All my lectures on teamwork, and now this... I don't know..." Rob said as they all got to the back to the cave


"Maybe you were showing off for us girls" Cissie said as she ruffled Rob's hair


"Hey it happens to the best of us. I lost control once too..." said Robin remembering how he wanted Zucco dead for murdering his parents and also remembered how he lost control at some point during his battle to bring him in


"You are being too hard on yourself, Robin. You are, after all, only human. And I owe all of you for your help in this matter" Red Tornado says as they all get of the cycle


"And you owe us some explanations" said a voice behind the Young Justice team as they turned around and saw Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter


"More like a lot of explanations" says Batman eying the other Robin in front of him as they all see the other team standing behind the Justice League as well


"This'll take awhile" said Rob feeling a headache coming along at what was to come
