The Return of a Legend [Bruce]

[Deleted]

    It had been a crazy day. After a few months of leaving Gotham to "Find himself", Bruce was back. It really bothered Tim. After two months of leaving Gotham to him, Dick, Jason, and Barbara, he just comes back and pretends like nothing happened. It doesn't matter though. Now Bruce was back and they all had to pretend nothing ever happened.

    Tim walked out of his bedroom in the spacious manor. The manor had become home ever since his father had died and Bruce adopted him. Things were different there, but it was comfortable enough. The teen walked into the study and changed the time on the large grandfather clock. The secret door opened and revealed a dark stone staircase. The bottom of the staircase opened up into a vast cavern. The large cavern was dimly lit by the huge computer monitor and the costume cases. He walked over to the glass cases and opened the door. He slowly pulled out his red and black costume. He stripped down to his boxer briefs and pulled on the costume. Lastly, he pulled on his black domino mask.

    Taking a deep breath, Tim walked across the large cavern and to the Batmobile. He opened the cockpit on his side of the car and climbed in. He looked to his left and saw Bruce was already in the car, dressed in his Batman suit. He put on his seatbelt and looked over to Bruce. Tim had been dreading this patrol. Tim had heard Bruce saying something to Alfred about taking on Gotham alone. Tim didn't know what he meant by that, but he hoped that he didn't mean firing Tim and the others. Tim didn't know what he would do if he wasn't Robin.

"Bruce. Are you ready for patrol?"

Bruce had equipped his armor and everything else around his body. The time seemed to be drawing where Bruce's relationship with Tim felt estranged. He loved him as a son, brother, partner, whatever he may be; but as a super hero and sidekick, Bruce questioned Tim and his motivation. He didn't know if it was depression, or if something else was dragging him down. This line of work is where were you cant let your guard down, or underestimate any situation. Whatever it was, he better snap out of it, or else he was going solo.


Batman made his way to the armored vehicle, and the hatch flew open. With a deep breath, he halted in his place. Observing the area in a circular motion, no sign of Tim. Batman felt a slight annoyance, he knew what was on the agenda tonight, yet failed to be here at the agreed time. Whatever

Bruce hopped in the hatch and leaned back. He began to replay the span of Grayson, and Jason before his death. Making mental notes of their activities, trying to dissect where the majority of the conflict was, as to avoid another falling out with another partner. Bruce must have dozed off longer than he thought, before he knew it the hatch opened and Tim was getting in.

His annoyance returned, especially with his words

"I was ready 30 minutes ago. Glad you could join me.." Bruce spitefully said in a dark tone.

Robin was in and fastened, Batman light up the tank like vehicle, and shot into the darkness.

"I was ready 30 minutes ago. Glad you could join me.." Bruce snapped.

    His tone was so harsh. The teen had just lost track of time. But, Bruce was Bruce. Tim pursed his lips and looked at the floor of the armored, tank like vehicle. He waited about ten seconds before he spoke again. He slowly lifted his head and looked at the older man.

"I'm sorry. I lost track of time. It won't happen again." Tim said quietly.

The boy sighed and rested his head on his gloved fist. He turned his body and looked out of the red tinted window. He scanned the streets as they whizzed by, looking for any kind of crime. They drove for about ten minutes until Tim saw something out of the corner of his eye. A fight between two groups in an alley, probably a gang hit. Tim quickly reacted and called out.

"There!"

    Tim quickly unbuckled himself and pulled the lever that opened the hatch. He leapt out of the vehicle in a fast blur of red and black. As he got high into the air, Robin spread his cape and glided down into the alley. He threw three wing-dings. The first one impaled a ganger's hand, causing him to drop his gun. The second whacked a ganger in the face and knocked him out. The third impaled into the calf of another ganger, rendering him immobile. Tim landed in front of another ganger, by how it looked the leader of one of the gangs. The rest of the gangers were running away, but that was fine, Bruce and Tim would play clean up after they took this guy out. Robin punched the leader in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. The man quickly tried to crawl away. A smile spread across Tim's face, thinking that the leader was afraid of Robin. However, Tim quickly began to doubt that. He slowly turned around and saw the large silhouette of the Batman standing above him.
