Meanwhile, young Dick Grayson was busy wriggling through the narrow space of the vent. He crawled ahead at a steady pace until he reached a hole that he could see through.

“Bat-Dad? Bat-Dad?” Dick said into his comm.

Batman touched the communication device on his ear. “Yeah?”

“If I’m going to be a Super Hero and go on awesome Super Hero missions like this one, can we use code names?” Dick asked.

“Let me see … no,” said Batman flatly.

“Mine can be Robin!” said Dick eagerly.

“As in, the small, midwestern, frail bird?” Batman asked.

“Yeah, and I already have a catchphrase,” Dick said cheerfully. “You ready? ‘Tweet tweet on the street.’”

“Hard pass,” said Batman.

“And a song!” Dick said, zipping down a chute. “Fly, Robin, Fly!” he sang.

“Harder pass,” said Batman.

Dick crawled out of the vent and entered a room deep inside the Fortress of Solitude. He jumped and flipped through the various booby traps, making it to a tunnel on the other side. Then he stopped short.

Laser beams crisscrossed the tunnel. Not even a mosquito could get through without tripping the alarm.

“Dad, I can see the target, but there’s some kind of laser energy thing that I can’t get through,” Dick said.

“Okay, I’ll see if I can shut it off,” Batman replied. “But I’m going to have to make up an excuse in order to leave the party without anybody noticing …”

Batman stood alone on the edge of the room. All around him, there were people dancing, but no one seemed to notice him. He slid his back along the wall until he got to the door. “Bye,” Batman said, ducking out.

Stealthily the Caped Crusader made his way through the fortress’s long hallways to the Knowledge Crystal Room. According to Computer, he’d be able to deactivate the laser-beam blockade there so Dick could access the Atomic Cauldron. The crystals were powering the beams that protected the tunnel.

Batman rushed over to the ring of crystals and considered the collection of gems, uncertain which one would do the trick. He selected one and held it up to the light.

“Tell me when the lasers are off, all right?” he directed Dick. Then he tossed the first crystal to the ground. It shattered into a thousand pieces.

“Now?” Batman asked.

“No,” replied Dick.

“Now?” Batman asked, hurling another brilliant crystal to the ground.

“No,” said Dick.

“How ’bout now?” Batman started to juggle them, and one dropped.

“Not quite,” Dick answered.

“Darn it, it’s gotta be one of these,” Batman said, throwing them left and right. “Is it this one? Or this one?” When he tossed the last crystal, the laser beams turned off.

“Oh my gosh! You did it, Padre!” Dick exclaimed. “It’s off!”

“Okay, now you’ve got to make your way through that obstacle course to the Atomic Cauldron. We need that Phantom Zone Projector.”

“Ten-four,” replied Dick.

“Now do everything I say,” said Batman. He pulled up a video comm link on his wrist. It let him see everything Dick was doing. “Jump!”

Dick jumped from his platform, heading toward the Atomic Cauldron.

“Hold on. Do a front flip,” Batman demanded.
