"Robin? Robin!" Beast focuses back on the last groups of lackeys. He had finished taking out all the guards that were patrolling the outskirts. "Let's finish this." He states, summoning a pill while thinking of destructive but non-lethal power before chucking the pill into his mouth. 

*Tzz* 

Sparks of electricity flows through his eyes as they change into a blue color. "Electric eel. Fucking cool." He says as he shakes his arms downward, causing his braces to flip open and cover his knuckles at the top. 

*Bang*

He bumps his fists together as a low frequency clicking sound start ringing from his arms. "Hahaha!" With no hesitation, Beast jumps into the open, attracting the attention of the surrounding guards. "Let's go!" He runs towards the closest guard who still had a surprised look on his face and swings his fist straight into the man's face. 

*Click click click*

The man falls down, unconscious and twitching. Sparing the knocked out guard no second look, Beast dashes into the incoming guards. 

Dodging the high kick by crouching slightly, Beast pulls his fist back before launching up and uppercuts the fool. "Ouch." He grimaces. "You need to get that checked out..." Dodging the fist coming at him, Beast twists his body and kicks behind him. "Donkey kick." He announces, seeing the guard get struck in the stomach before falling backward. 

"C'mon boys. Y'all need to try harder than that. Otherwise you guys are in for a big... Shocker."

"Ugh!" Robin grunts as the man's fist strikes his raised arm, sending him tumbling before he flips and throws two smoke bombs at the man. 

"Your tricks won't work on me kid!" The man bellows as he strikes the smoke bombs to the side. 

Not deterred in the slightest, Robin throws birdarangs at the mans feet, causing smoke to raise from the explosion. 

"Ahhh!" The man yells, swiping his arms to blow the smoke out of his sight, only for a kick to land at the back of his head causing him to lose his footing and fall forward. Quickly standing up, the man tarns around in search of Robin, but finds nothing. "Stop hiding!"

"Alright." 

  Turning his sights below, the man spots Robin sweeping his legs. "Hmph!" He exerts power into his legs and reaches his hand out and grabs the surprised Robin's neck. Lifting the boy up, he pulls his other hand back. "You should've kept yourself hidden." He states. 

"You too!" Beast yells as he lands on top of the huge man's shoulder, a loud crack sounding out as the man drops onto his knees, letting go of Robin.

"Holy shit man, are you doing roids? There's no way you're natural." Beast asks, standing next to Robin, his bracers still in their knuckleduster form. "Look I won't judge you or anything it's just-" His words get cut off has the big man swings his fine arm at him, forcing him to dodge to the side. "Not chatty? I get it." Beast says and wraps his left arm around the man's forearm before elbowing the man's arm. 

"You goddamn brats!" The man yells as veins throb on his face and arm. He lifts the arm that Beast's holding, lifting the boy off the ground. "I'll kill both of you!" He looks up at Beast who he lifted above his head.

"You are-" Beast puts his foot on the man's face as he speaks. "-unbelievably retarded." He kicks off, sending himself straight up in the air above the man. "Now, Robin!" 

Behind the man, Robin shoots his grappling gun onto the mans fixed hand before pulling it back, leaving the man completely defenseless. 

"Combo: Robin and Beast jackhammer!" Beast yells as he falls, his hands gripping each other above his head. 

*Boom*

Beast's fists connect onto the man's face, sending him shooting onto the floor. "Fwooh." Beast blows his fist like one would a gun. "Damn, Robin! If I didn't know any better, I'd think we're the best team." He says, walking over the unconscious man towards Robin, giving the latter a fist bump. "Oh wait! We are!"

"Shut up." Robin punches Beast's shoulder, not trying to hide his grin. He won't admit it but today's mission was 100 times more fun than his previous ones. 

"Let's call it in." Beast says as he walks toward the building that the man was in. "I'm gonna check if I can find some shit in there." He says, throwing a wave above his shoulder.

Meanwhile in a dark office, a screen could be seen showing Beast walking away while Robin typed away on his holographic computer. "Hmmm. It seems two little birdies found some cookie crumbs." a Deep voice sounds out as the screen freezes on Robin and Beast standing side by side. "Call back the shipment that have yet to reach Gotham and lay low for a while... I don't want a bat to piss on my plans now, do I?" The source of the voice waves his hand. 

"Yes." 

"And inform our... Partners-" He said, disgust lacing his voice. "-to be more prepared. And if they run into these two kids... Kill them."

"Look at this, dude." Beast walks towards Robin with papers in his hand before showing it to him. "These are some sort of ceasefire contract between different gangs in Gotham..."

Robin squints while reading the papers thoroughly. "Hm..." He hums. "It seems like something big is gonna happen in Gotham. We should call Batman." He says, about to contact Batman. 

"No need."

"Ahhhhhhh!" 

Batman's iconic voice comes from behind them as he reveals himself before taking the papers from Robin, ignoring Beast who screamed in a not-so-manly voice. 

"Khu-Hum!" Clearing his throat, Beast asks Batman, "Batman? Since when were you here?"

"I was here the whole time." Batman responds. "I found the recent movement of the local gangs unusual, so I did some digging and found traces leading towards the Penitente Cartel based in Mexico."

"What about your Justice League business?" Beast asks another question, but gets elbowed by Robin. 

"Dude, there is no League business." Robin leans in and whispers towards Beast. 

"I wanted to see if both of you were ready to handle such a big case." Batman reveals. "I'm going to need both of your help to deal with this." He says, raising his sights and looks at the messy looking kids in front of him. Sighing inwardly, he puts the papers away. "Get some rest. We'll discuss this at a later date. The Cartel would lay low for a while, so we have time."
