Chapter 12 by MrLarsBar MrLarsBar

Run into the alley and help the woman?

Yes

'Ugh,' Aaron nearly groaned. 'If I leave now, I'll never be able to face Cass again.'

So he ran into the alleyway, discreet as a cat. He saw six ninja-like figures wielding blades and brutally surrounding a young dark-skinned woman. There was no chance of escape for her, no window of space. She was backed against the wall and at their mercy.

'The League of Shadows. The group led by Cass's mom, Shiva. This is worse than mobsters…'

But she wouldn't give up. The young woman wore a red and yellow hoodie, almost like a superhero suit, and a cap displaying the letter R. She bounced on her feet like a kickboxer and taunted the Shadows with her chain whip. Aaron quickly realized this was no ordinary woman. Her skill with the chain whip was one thing but she was also a member of the We Are Robin movement: a youth movement in Gotham established after the apparent **** of Batman.

Robina. That was her name. She was their most famous member (well, as famous as a local city hero could be which wasn't much) and their icon. We Are Robins were protectors of the weak and young, yet opinions on them were mixed. They were disbanded for a while, outlawed, and even had skirmishes with the Signal, a member of the Bat Family and as he recently discovered a close friend of Cassandra's. Aaron contemplated helping Robina and seeing the fear and ferocity in her body he stayed.

"If you want me, then you're gonna have to kill me!" The cement cracked under her metallic whip. She used it with a dash of skill and fury. Not too amateurish but not too masterful either.

No response. Two of the Shadows pointed their blades at her while the remaining three inched closer. He could sense their intent to kill but their body language suggested they were merely going to incapacitate her.

"What the hell do you want!?" Robina asked, desperation sinking in.

Time slowed as Aaron made his calculations. Six Shadows, six highly trained killers. One Robina, a semi-trained vigilante; and Aaron, possessing the element of surprise and supreme ability.

The odds weren't exactly in his favour.

Would he lose?
