Hello everyone.

Lots of people wanted more mommy cat and daddy bats. So here you go.

Sorry for OOCness, spelling mistakes and once again I own nothing.

This is set after season 1 and a while after the last chapter. Wally now knows about Catwoman - that will be important. No Zatanna or Rocket (they're busy or something).

This chapter - the team has an unfortunate run in with another Gotham villain, but this one isn't as nice.

Anyway hope you enjoy.

Robyn

The team swung/flew/ran across the rooftops of Gotham once again, having been given a second chance after the last slightly disastrous attempt. They had been given the task to last the night and take out any minor criminals they found. Batman and Batgirl were patrolling as well taking out any of the more dangerous villains who dared to be out that night (they weren't being trusted on their own without adult supervision this time, nor was Robin).

They had made their way to the docks, knowing that was usually a hot spot for criminal activity with all the abandoned buildings. They were inspecting one of the many empty warehouses when everything went wrong. They'd split up into pairs and silently entered through different windows, sticking to the shadows. This was the fourth warehouse they had tackled, so far the only thing they had found was rats but they'd heard some noise from this warehouse sp they were holding out hope for soma action (or at least some of the team was).

They had struck gold. A gang of thugs, heavily armed inhabited the dusty warehouse, some of them were patrolling the entrances while the majority stood in the centre, quietly muttering to each other, like they were waiting for something or someone. The team snuck around the edges hiding behind crates and boxes trying to meet up without being spotted by the thugs.

Eventually they managed to get together in a dark corner, near a broken window and behind piles of crates. Everyone had their weapons in hand ready to attack the second they needed to. A couple of the group kept watch on the thugs at all times.

"Remember we are here to practise teamwork so no unnecessary risks. Batman and Batgirl are patrolling and will take out any major threats and criminals. We are only to fight small groups as this is not a real mission." Aqualad reminded the team through the mind link looking specifically at Kid Flash and Robin.

"Hey! Why are you looking at us like that?"" Kid Flash protested loudly in their minds as the rest of the team, including Robin, just raised an eyebrow at the speedster.

"You two are usually the ones who get into trouble and get injured more than anyone." Aqualad glared at the two troublemakers. Robin just shrugged but Wally pouted.

"So, what's the plan?" Artemis asked fingering her bow impatiently, eyes watching the activity in the middle of the room.

"We sneak around in pairs and take care of the men from all angles. Kid Flash and Artemis go right, Superboy and Miss Martian go left, Robin and I will get the men in the back. Move into position and attack on my mark." Aqualad instructed.

The pairs moved swiftly and silently into position, keeping to the shadows as they around the group of thugs. There were over a dozen of them and the guns they carried certainly weren't small.

Once in position Aqualad gave the signal and the pairs attacked. Robin knocked out two men while flipping and giving his signature creepy cackle with Aqualad next to him knocking out any that got too near. Kid Flash knocked out a guy while speeding away and dodging bullets while Artemis shot a pair with a rope tying them together. Superboy and Miss Martian worked together taking out any thugs that got too close. The team fought with practised ease.

It looked like the team was winning this battle for once. Unfortunately for them they weren't actually. While they were all distracted taking out the thugs a hidden figure had released a can of gas that was slowly starting to show its effect. The person the thugs had been waiting for had arrived and he had brought a nasty present.

"Gas!" Robin shouted being the first one to spot it, curling around their feet.

"What is it doing?" Miss Martian asked confused. Before anyone could answer her question Artemis dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes, not moving.

"Artemis!" Kid Flash shouted just as he dropped to the floor as well.

"What's wrong with them?" Superboy asked as he took out yet another thug, focus split between their vulnerable teammates, the gas circling them and the thugs attacking them.

Aqualad dropped next quickly followed by Superboy and Miss Martian. Robin, being the only one smart enough to cover his nose and mouth with his sleeve in an attempt to delay the effects of the gas, was the last to drop. The team were completely unprotected, unconscious in the lair of a villain with no help on the way.

When the team awoke they were in a different dark room, tied to chairs in a circle back to back. They all struggled against the ties but even the super-powered heroes couldn't break themselves free.

A figure entered the room and Robin's eyes narrowed trying to figure out which villain it was, how to escape and get the team out of here and about a thousand other things. The gas and having just woken up was making his mind a big foggy, frustrating him as he should know who had attacked them.

"It is a shame. I was hoping to try my latest gas on the Bat, but the Boy Blunder and the Justice Brats will have to do." The figure stepped out of the shadows with a menacing sigh, revealing how un-disappointed he actually was.

"Scarecrow. When did you get out of Arkham?" Robin asked glaring at the villain. He knew exactly who they were up against and it wasn't anyone good. They were in some serious trouble. All he could think to do was play for time until they missed the meet up time with Batman, he had no idea how long had passed since they'd been knocked unconscious but he was struggling to think of a better plan. Scarecrow had stolen his utility belt so he couldn't even try and sneak anything from that. Still as he talked, he worked on getting his hands free of their bindings, good thing he had something up his sleeve (or more accurately in his boot).

"Wait, Robin don't you mean how did he get out of prison?" Kid Flash exclaimed as he tried to vibrate through the rope trying them to the chairs with no success.

"Nope, there's no point in asking them that. It usually had something to do with corrupt police and prison wardens. Or another daring plot." Robin replied casually trying to hide his fear of the gas that Scarecrow had no doubt somewhere. He wasn't exactly a creative villain, his plots were often similar in nature, but no less dangerous.

"Quite brats. For that remark Bird Boy, you get to go first." The fear obsessed villain moved towards the group, revealing a large needle in his grip. The rest of the team struggled, shouting obscenities and promises while Robin just took a deep breath to prepare himself as Scarecrow stabbed him in the arm with his latest fear gas concoction.

"Lets leave them all alone for a few hours. See how much they can bear hearing the bird scream." He ordered the thugs who had been standing around on guard before exiting the room himself, they followed their leader leaving the team alone in the dark.

"Robin are you alright?" Miss Martian called her tone expressing her worry, they'd given up on the mind line now that they were alone. "What's going on?"

"I am fine. We need to get out of here. Scarecrow had a fascination with fear, he creates gases, like the one he just injected in me, to make people experience their worst fear, he loves coming up with new versions. He will use it on you as well if we don't escape, at least I know what to expect and how to deal with it, none of you do. Miss M, can you cut me from the mind link? I don't want any of you to feel, see or hear anything." Robin grimaced.

"How do we escape?" Artemis asked more aware of who they were facing than the others, bar Robin.

"This might help." Robin held up a bat-a-rang with which he had just finished cutting his ropes with.

He handed it quickly to Aqualad who was to his right before standing up, stretching. A second later he collapsed to the ground, screaming. Aqualad hurriedly cut his ropes freeing himself before freeing the others knowing the only way to help Robin was to escape, no matter how much it hurt to hear Robin's screams and see him twitching on the ground.

Once they were all free they ran over to Robin who had hunched himself into a ball and was shaking, tears were visible and every so often he would scream. It was a heart wrenching scene. Aqualad gently picked up the distressed hero. Artemis and Kid Flash grabbed their weapons which had been abandoned in a corner.

Superboy who was in no mood to sneak around after seeing his teammate, his friend, his little brother in such pain simply punched a whole in the wall. With his anger he quickly created a hole large enough for everyone to escape through into the dark of the night.

The moon was still high in the sky and the Bat was nowhere to be seen. Their communicators had been smashed to pieces and they had no idea where to go. They stood in the shadow of the warehouse, unsure where to go. They had no idea where Batman would be, no way to communicate and there was no guarantee someone would be able to help at the Mountain, if there was any adult there at all.

"Guys, I might know someone who can help us." Kid Flash suddenly exclaimed, he'd been running through all the people who could help them that were nearby (it wasn't a long list). With a nod from Aqualad he lead the way. They dashed across the roofs after id Flash, ending up in front of an apartment block in the nicer part of town ten minutes later. Instead of going through the door, Kid Flash ran right up the building to the top floor where there was a balcony. With a little bit of help from each other the whole team was soon on the balcony (it was vaguely crowded with so many of them up there but they barely noticed). Kid Flash went over to the door into the clearly expensive apartment and knocked before waiting, when no one answered he knocked again.

Just as he went to knock a third time a figure came around a corner towards the door. In front of the team stood Catwoman looking curiously out at the young heroes on her balcony but her curious expression turned worried as soon as she saw Robin in Aqualad's arms.

She opened the door, any hesitance now gone and lead them into her apartment without a word. She took Robin from a reluctant Aqualad 9after getting a nod of reassurance from Kid Flash) and lay him down gently on the sofa.

"What happened?" She asked glaring at the teens, speaking for the first time since they had been reluctantly invited in.

"Scarecrow. Fear gas." No other explanation was needed and she ran off to another room, leaving the worried teens alone with a screaming Robin.

"Kid Flash, what are you thinking!? Catwoman is a criminal!" Artemis practically screeched at Kid Flash as soon as the famous thief disappeared. The rets of the team looking decidedly unhappy as well.

"It's okay. Robin introduced me to her. She has this weird thing with Batman so basically acts like a mother to Robin. She is also very protective of him when he gets hurt. You've all met Daddy Bats let me introduce you to Mommy Cat." Kid Flash grinned pleased with his introduction.

As this conversation happened two cats had made their way towards the sofa, prowling out from the shadows and leaping onto the sofa to curl up beside the shaking Boy Wonder. One of the cats was a tabby with a white beard and pink nose, the other was pure black and blended perfectly into the shadows.

Catwoman then rushed back into the room with a medical needle glinting in the light. She stepped forward and sat on a little part of the sofa that hadn't been taken by a Bird or any cats. She gently peeled back one of his sleeves and injected him with whatever was in the needle. Despite wanting to interfere the team stayed back after a look from Kid Flash. She was far more gentle with him than Scarecrow had been.

"It is an antidote to the fear gas." She explained at their guarded looks.

Almost instantly Robin stopped shaking and visibly relaxed but remained unconscious. Catwoman gently stroked his hair with a small smile on her face, watching him for several minutes, looking for any sign of a reoccurrence or episode. Upon finding nothing she glanced back to the watching team.

"He'll be fine, he just needs to rest. Topsy and Turvey adore him, they'll help him." She gestured first to the black cat then the tabby. "Go meet Batman, tell him I will bring Robin home when he wakes up."

Taking that as a dismissal the team slowly left the room, glancing back at their injured teammate until the apartment disappeared form sight. They ran/flew/swung back over the roof tops to where they had promised to meet Batman the evening before, they were late by about half an hour and none of them were in a good mood. The Dark Knight stood there waiting and if the team hadn't known better they would have sworn they saw a flash of emotion when he noticed their youngest member missing. Batgirl wasn't there, likely already sent home.

"Where is Robin?" No hello, how are you? How did it go? Just straight to the point. Fair enough, it was his protégé missing.

"We were attacked and surprised by the villain Scarecrow and our communicators smashed. Robin was unfortunately injected with fear gas, he managed to explain the situation before he collapsed. Kid Flash took us to Catwoman who Robin had introduced him to. She injected him with an antidote and sent us back telling us to inform you that she would take him home when he woke up." Aqualad stepped forward to give the report matter of fact, as he was team leader and therefore responsible for the others.

Batman nodded and told them to go home gruffly. As soon as all the teens had disappeared he swung his way over to Catwoman's apartment.

The sight he was met with made him smile Robin was fast asleep on the sofa with a blanket of cats. Catwoman stood watching with a smile on her face.

When he entered behind her he spoke. "Thank you for looking after him."

To her credit she didn't even jump. "Of course, he is like a son to me."

The pair stood there watching their son in all but blood sleep peacefully.

Finished.

I hope that was okay.

Anyway what do you want to see next?

Maybe all of Robin's mother figures (e.g. Catwoman and Talia etc).

Or maybe Robin showing a new skill like maths or the extent of his hacking?

Or maybe something to do with the Invasion team or Bat Family?

Maybe something completely different.

Anyway hope you enjoyed.

Robyn out.
