Chapter 89: Side story: We are a Hero!!!



A group of adult men and teenagers entered the Hall of Justice.

Leading the group was a man dressed in a dark grey costume, the unmistakable bat symbol emblazoned on his chest. His presence was commanding, his every move sharp and calculated. He was Batman, a symbol of justice and fear, known to everyone.

Beside him, though, was a surprising sight—a young boy in a unique ensemble. He wore a white shitagi beneath a black kosode and hakama, the traditional garb of a Shinigami Squad leader, but with a twist. A black bat robe draped over his uniform, doubling as a mask to hide his face. His black kosode had his insignia on the inside, marking him as more than just an ordinary member of the squad.

This was Robin, or rather, Dick Grayson—Batman's protégé.

Batman tilted his head, his expression unreadable as he studied his sidekick's new outfit. "What led to this change?" he asked, his voice sharp but curious.

Robin grinned, shrugging. "I wanted to change the atmosphere," he said with a wink, though there was an underlying truth in his words.

Batman gave a small grunt of approval, inspecting his young partner with a discerning eye. "You look acceptable in it, unexpectedly."

'He approved?' Robin is surprised that his mentor doesn't have a problem with his new uniform.

"You should be grateful to me, brat, no one wants to see your unsightly, tight and ridiculous costumes." Robin's Zanpakuto, a blade with its own personality, seemed to love the transformation of her wielder. "This new look is exactly what you need."

Before Robin could respond, Artemis Crooks, Green Arrow's sidekick, raised an eyebrow in interest. "Since when do you use a sword, Robin? Is that a real one?"

Robin chuckled, placing a hand on the hilt. "It's a long story, but yeah, it's real." He gave a playful glance at Artemis. "What about you, archery prodigy? You still aiming for the bullseye?"

Artemis smirked, clearly not intimidated. "Always."

"Right! You look cool and awesome, Robin! So... this is your base. Thanks for inviting me to join your team hehe." The girl in the Red Riding Hood costume speaks excitedly, it's even more incredible than she imagined, and all of Robin's friends look like good people.

"You're the one who wants to be a hero, right? It's just my way of helping you achieve your dream." Robin smiles when he sees Ruby is happy. He expected them to do well on their first mission as heroes.

"Just then, a soft voice interrupted the moment. "It's my first time being a hero, too. I don't want to be a spectator forever. I look forward to your guidance, Robin-kun." The girl speaking was Emilia, a stunning vision with long silver hair and purple-blue eyes. She wore a purple outfit, with a white flower nestled in her hair.

'Where the hell did your protégé find these girls? Holy shit! She is so beautiful and sweet. If I'm not married, I'll hit on her now without wasting my time.' The man in the full body suit, all red, asks the Batman, he is Flash, a member of the Justice League. For him, the beauty of the white-haired girl is like someone who has come out of a fantasy world.

'This is a mystery for me too, He said to trust him and one day he will tell me the truth. I don't sense anything dangerous from either of them, so I'll let it go for now.' Batman replies.

"Oh yeah... Who are those two ladies next to you, Robin? My name is Wally West, but they call me Kid Flash, the future fastest man alive! How about... a date when this mission is over, my beautiful lady?" Wally winked at Emilia and Ruby tried to ask one of them out.

'Atta, my boy! Go on! Show her how manly and cool you are, Wally.' Flash cheers on his protégé.

"Um... Sorry, but there is something I have to do after this mission." Emilia gently turned him down, not used to being asked out by strangers.

"What's a date, Robin?" Ruby asks with an innocent face that makes others can't believe there is someone so pure in this world. Robin is annoyed for some reason and kicks his friend in the butt.

"What's your problem, asshole?!" Kid Flash asks Robin, the reason for the kick.

"Never contaminate Ruby with your perverted mind, idiot."

Suddenly there is a report from the Man of Steel or Superman that a fire has broken out at Project Cadmus.

Not long after, another screen pops up showing a middle-aged man named Giovanni Zatara, a member of the Justice League.

"Zatara to League, Wotan is planning to blot out the sun. I request a full response from the League."

Batman glanced at the bearded man, or Aqua Man, who nodded, before turning to Superman. "Superman?" Superman looked pensive for a second before answering.

"It's a small fire, the local fire brigade are dealing with it."

Batman nodded before turning to the others. "Alright, we'll take care of Wotan." Then he turned to the teenagers and spoke. "Stay here."

Robin looked at him in shock. "What?

"I thought you trusted us." The Aqua-man protégé named Aqualad had a disappointed look on his face.

"What trust? They even lie about their headquarters being in space." Green Arrow protégé Speedy snorts.

"What is this Project Cadmus anyway?" Aqualad asks Robin.

"From the information I have gathered, Project Cadmus is a secret division of the United States government designed to counteract the power of metahumans," Robin answers his question.

"How do you know this?" Artemis wants to know how this guy knows this information.

"A certain weird guy is the one who informed me of the cost of my time, but if you don't believe me, I can show you the proof." Robin walked over to the computer and typed something in.

"ACCESS DENIED!"

"Well... That was as expected." Kid Flash knew this would happen. 

Robin smiled and typed again, soon several screens appeared.

"ACCESS GRANTED!"

"What the fuck? How did you do that?" Kid Flash was surprised that this guy had successfully hacked the system.

A picture of a building appeared, showing everything about Cadmus.

The technology of this world never failed to amaze Emilia. If her world had something like this, the quality of life for the people of her world would be easier and more prosperous.

"Project Cadmus. A genetics lab here in D.C. If Batman's suspicious. That's more than enough to check it out." Aqualad looked pensive for a second.

"Solve their riddle before they do. It would be poetic justice, and they're all about justice," Robin said, his hands on his belt.

Aqualad sighed before speaking. "But they told us to stay put."

Robin just looked at him with a grin and Ruby nodded excitedly, knowing what her senior was going to do next.

"From the sun mission, not this one."

"Sounds like fun! Let's do it and start the action!" Ruby said happily. 

"Are you serious? If you're going, I'm going." Kid Flash tapped his shoulder to confirm that he was going.

Robin sees his friends and they all smile. giving their consent to help him get on this mission.

"Now... let's show them we are a hero too."

Side End...
