Red Hood and Red Robin (Part Seven)

"So you're ready to arm Earth?" Roland asked.

"That's the plan, but I haven't found a good way to implement it yet," Batman said. "Humanity's current technology is still far too primitive for interstellar warfare."

"Are you sure?" Roland remembered Batman's Powered Armor. "Why not ask Green Lantern? He handles more space-related affairs."

"I don't know him that well," Batman said.

"Then get Green Arrow to help. Those two green guys get along pretty well."

"Good point." Batman nodded.

"Is Batman this busy in every universe?" Nightwing asked Jason.

"Not really—I often run into him on dates with different girls," Jason said. "He seems to have plenty of time."

"That sounds about right." Nightwing nodded. As the Robin who had inherited that particular trait from Batman, he eagerly asked Jason, "What about you? Got a girl you like? Been on any dates?"

"No, I'm still in school."

"When I was still in school, I'd already..." Nightwing began sharing his experiences with Jason.

"Don't be a bad influence on Jason," Clay Batman said. "I think Roland needs this advice more than I do. I'm asking on his behalf."

Jason wanted to hear more.

"So they really are just ignoring me?" Red Hood put on his motorcycle helmet in frustration and lay quietly inside the Space Pod.

Knock, knock, knock!

A knocking sound rang out beside Red Hood's ear. He opened the hatch and looked outside, where a kid in ragged clothes was trying to pry open the Space Pod with a crowbar.

Red Hood almost laughed in exasperation. Here was a kid even bolder than someone who would pry parts off the Batmobile. Someone was actually trying to break into a fucking space pod? Gotham
