Robin perched on the edge of a high rooftop a few blocks away from Batman His mask helped protect his eyes from the gusty wind as he looked down at the streets below for crooks and criminals Sure enough he spotted a suspicious figure sneaking down an alley Robin decided to investigate Robin leaped off the roof and made a swan dive toward a nearby flagpole SWOOSH He swung around the pole like an Olympic gymnast to gain speed then let go Robin flew over the suspect and landed in front of him Don’t you know it’s dangerous to be out so late at night Robin said The man was so startled that he dropped the bag he was holding Jewelry tumbled out of it The man looked down at the gems on the ground and then up at Robin Then he ran Why do they always run Robin sighed I always catch them Robin picked up the dropped jewels and started after the thief As he ran he noticed a dark shadow
pass above him He knew it wasn’t a cloud Robin chased the crook through the alley jumping over the trash cans that the bad guy threw in his path The obstacles didn’t slow down Robin He used one of them like a diving board to spring into the air Robin tucked his body into a ball and hurtled toward the criminal POW He slammed into the fleeing felon Nice work a voice said from above Robin didn’t have to look up to see who had spoken Thanks Batman he replied as he snapped Bat-cuffs on the crook’s wrists The Dark Knight slid down to the ground on a Batrope and landed next to his partner A moment later a Gotham City police car arrived Robin handed over the thief to the officer Just before the Dynamic Duo resumed their nightly patrol they heard an alert come over the squad car radio Attention all units Robbery attempt in progress at WayneTech the dispatcher said Batman and Robin didn’t wait They fired their
Batropes toward the rooftops and swooped toward the emergency WayneTech was a company owned by Batman in his other identity of billionaire businessman Bruce Wayne It was where he secretly worked on all his special gadgets and technology Do you think one of our archenemies is trying to steal Batman tech Robin asked The only way to find out is to get there fast Batman replied Okay first one to WayneTech gets to drive the Batmobile for a week Robin challenged his partner Batman nodded and instantly pulled ahead of Robin The race was on The Dynamic Duo leaped from rooftop to rooftop across the skyline of Gotham City They soared through the air on Batropes and ran through the alleys between buildings Suddenly Robin lost sight of the Dark Knight Uh-oh He probably found a shortcut Robin said and increased his speed
Batman’s shortcut was fast but not very pleasant He ran through the underground storm drain system It was mucky and damp but it was as straight as a ruler and led directly to the WayneTech building The Dark Knight burst up out of a storm grate and into chaos The street outside of WayneTech was clogged with police cars fire trucks and TV news vehicles Emergency lights flashed red and blue like lightning Batman studied the scene for a moment to analyze his surroundings and plan his strategy A moment after that Robin dropped down from a Batrope and landed next to his partner This is a lot of Emergency Response for a simple robbery attempt even if it is WayneTech Robin said That depends on who the robber is Batman replied Let’s find out The Dynamic Duo avoided the flashing police lights and TV cameras They headed for the shadows Batman led them to a secret door into WayneTech
