Elemental (Robin x Reader)

Chapter 18: Crimson

"Team, report for mission briefing."

I put on my uniform and made my way to the training area. Batman stood there the screen ready behind him. Once the entire team was there he started the briefing.

"The Joker has escaped from Arkham and is wreaking havoc in Star City, normally the league would be able to handle something like this, but we're spread thin all over the world right now. Your mission is to go in and stop him."

We all ran to the bio-ship in anticipation. I tapped my foot on the floor looking out the window. This seemed a bit too easy, Joker works discreetly most of the time, not openly destroying things in a city without planning before. He may be insane, like really insane, but he isn't stupid.

When we arrived at Star City we landed the bio-ship where we were sure it wouldn't be damaged. The Joker was laughing and throwing explosives at the building around him.

"(H/n), Robin, and Artemis take the Joker, the rest of us will help get the civilians out." Aqualad ordered.

I jumped out of the bio-ship and landed lightly on my feet. Robin and Artemis followed me out. We nodded at each other and ran towards the Joker.

"Joker!" I yelled successfully grabbing his attention. He turned to me and smiled, he smiled. I still don't understand how someone can be that insane.

"You're kind of insane sometimes too." B.E.M appeared, once again the dust formed a copy of me, she looked the same as always. I glared at her trying to focus on the mission.

"Shoo," I hissed quietly. B.E.M frowned and disappeared.

"Hello mini heroes. I was hoping it would be you, after our attempt with the plants I was bored, and you have the ability to entertain me." He said before laughing.

"You're going to end up back in the same cell, then we'll see how entertained you are." Robin growled.

A spark grew into a flame on my palms. I threw the fire at the Joker, he cackled and moved away from it. "You're going to have to do better than that."

Artemis shot an arrow at him, he grabbed it in the air looking it over. He nodded approvingly.

"You're very much like your mentor, never realising that the 'shooting arrows trick' gets old." Joker commented. Robin charged towards him throwing punches. The Joker continued to dodge and eventually knocked him back into a wall. Robin fell to the ground before groaning and getting up slowly. "There's only one of you that I really want to fight, so let's get rid of the extras."

Joker threw a flash bomb towards Robin and Artemis temporarily blinding them. They both fell to their knees holding their eyes. Why would the Joker want to fight me, and only me?

"Why me?" I asked.

"You're interesting, the league's favorite." He ran towards me and threw a punch at my stomach. I caught his hand and held it behind his back.

"What's your game?" I questioned.

He didn't respond, instead kicked me in the stomach. I was knocked back into the wall of a nearby building. I looked over hoping that Robin and Artemis were recovered, but to no avail, they were both still blinking their eyes rapidly trying to clear their vision. Their arms were out in front of them like they were trying to find something.

"Pathetic." B.E.M snorted.

"You guys okay?" I yelled.

"Fine." Robin assured.

"Just trying to get rid of the giant dots everywhere." Artemis added.

Joker pushed me up against the wall more holding a knife to my throat. I sneered looking at the dagger dangerously lose to cutting me.
