The heroes Equestria needs

Was a night, as Robin and Batman were guarding the city on a ledge of a roof. Batman was scouting the town with binoculars, or batculars, as he liked to say, while Robin was standing next to him, just waiting for something to happen. “It is quiet. Too quiet!”, Batman said as he gazed across the Gotham city. “Robin, give me my crime scanner, which like it’s name implies, scans the town of Gotham for any happening crimes.”

“Holy forgetting crime scanner to the batcave, Batman! Seems like we forgot the crime scanner to the batcave.”, exclaimed Robin.

“Hmm, quite peculiar. Have you checked your back pocket, Robin, for that is where the scanner usually resides?”, inquired Batman.

“No, I have not!”. Robin felt his costume’s backside. Until this point he didn’t know the costume even had back pockets. That explains the touching he sometimes feels on his bottom when Batman is behind him. Sometimes at least, he thought. “Ah, here it is Batman. Catch!”, shouted Robin, as he threw the crime scanner to Batman.

“What the- Nooooo!”, yelled batman as the crime scanning apparatus slipped from his hands, falling off the building and crashing to the street below.

Robin slid to the edge of the building, and looked down to the street and to the crushed scanner. “Holy butterfingers, Batman, that sure was bad luck!”

“Why did you even throw it Dick! You were literally standing on my cape!”, Shouted Batman as he pointed to the muddy footprints on his cape.

“Jeez Batman, chill, I’ll clean it once we get back, alright. But uhh, Bats, you might wanna check this out.” Robin pointed to the down below to the street. The pieces of scanning device were shaking and making weird noises, as they started to twirl on the street, some of the pieces rising from the ground, almost like carried by a small tornado. The pieces started to glow, and seemed like in the middle them, to the eye of the small tornado, was forming some kind of portal.

“Whoa, what did Fox build that thing of?”, thought batman, as he looked to the middle of the mess. As the tornado seemed to stop forming further, it seemed like a whirlpool, very dark on the middle of it. at this point batman stood up and gazed at Robin, “Right, Robin, go check if it is dangerous”

“Me!? You’re the leader here, you should know how to deal with those kind of stuff”, insisted robin, not being sure if he wanted to get near the small dark tornado.

“Exactly, I’m a leader and I know that best way to deal with stuff like this is to send someone to scout this a bit closer. So move already”, Robin could hear before he felt a push on his back.

“You son of a-”, Said Robin but didn't dare to finish, he didn’t want to hear about how Batman’s parents are dead back at the Batcave again. After stabilizing himself, Robin opened his cape, slowing his speed. He straightened his legs along the cape and floated towards the small whirlpool.

“What do you think, is it safe”, Robin heard through his earphone.

“I don’t know, looks rather calm. It’s not moving anywhere, and it isn't that big. Very silent too.”, said Robin as he was floating right above the whirlpool

“Right, good, I’m coming down too. And, don’t mention to Alfred or anyone what I did a moment ago, they don’t understand how leaders must work sometimes!”. After saying this, Batman dove off the ledge, spreading his cape.

“Yeah, right, you should explain that to me sometime too. What? What is this? The tornado, it’s suction is very strong above th... Hurry Batm.... it’s sucki... in!”

The earphone connection between him and Robin was cutting off, and he saw Robin struggling to fly himself away from the whirlpool. He dove straight down at full speed, in attempt to catch Robin before he would get swallowed by the whirlpool. “Robin! Just fight it a bit longer, I’m coming as fast as I can!”

Once Robin’s leg and the end of his cape touched the black center or the tornado, the suction yanked him very fast inside. He reached his hand up before the darkness completely swallowed him. Just before the last of Robin disappeared, Batman was able to grab his hand. Batman tried to maneuver them out of the whirlpool, but to no result. The tornado sucked him very quickly inside too, as soon as his hand touched the darkness of it.

Both of them sucked to the middle of the whirling portal, and completely disappeared, the mouth of the tornado shut close. The darkness on the middle of the whirlpool decreased, and the speed of it quickly slowed down, the pieces starting to fall back down, creating a circle where the tornado formed no more than just minutes ago.
