Chapter 43 by MrLarsBar MrLarsBar

Should Aaron act?

Yes. With We Are Robin.

'We Are Robin.'

The flyer Robina gave him. Somehow, he had held onto it. Staring into it questioningly, the line of numbers tempting him.

Aaron wasn't intent on joining them. He had a job and hanging around a bunch of teenagers didn't sound fun. Still, he could act as a sponsor and give them some portion of his salary. For kids fighting to make change in this hell hole it was the least he could do.

Aaron took in a breath of confidence and dialled in the number. There was a beep.

"Hello?"

He heard someone breathing. "We Are Robin. How can we help you?"

Electronic, buzzed, and unrecognizable. Aaron nodded. These guys were careful.

"My name is…Aaron. I talked to Robina once. She told me to contact this number if I wanted to help you?"

The voice whose gender was blurred laughed. "Robina, eh? What's your name?"

"I'd rather not say. I'm only here to sponsor you guys?"

"Give us weapons? Money?"

"Yes."

"You serious?"

"Yes."

The buzz returned. Silence.

"Why do you wish to help us? I'm sure you've heard of the Robin Laws? Councilwoman Noctua has stopped anyone from donning the Robin costume," The voice's disposition suddenly changed. Aaron was sure this was someone else. "Our very own was implicated in the shooting of an officer and a robber. Ever since then, support for us has gone down. We're a shadow of what we once were."

"So?" Aaron said. The GCPD were the third most corrupt institution in Gotham. It wouldn't be beyond reason to assume the blame of the incident was shifted to the teenager. Someone whom they could implicate without having to take steam themselves.

"If you want to help us, prove it. You know Crime Alley? Where Martha and Thomas Wayne were shot? Meet Alt there. He'll provide you with more information." Movement and sound hummed through the phone. "If you're brave enough."

The robotic tones were the same but the indents weren't. This second person was likely Alt.

"Sure. When?"

"Tonight."

Aaron exhaled. "Sure. I'll see you there in thirty minutes."

The line cut. Aaron shrugged. What he got himself into, he didn't know. 'Might as well commit to it.'

What's next?
