This had to be the strangest rescue Nite Owl had ever seen.

Sure, there was nothing particularly normal about what he did on a nightly basis. To dress up as an owl and fight crime required someone who was quite strange themself but Dan liked to think he wasn't that strange. Not strange enough to wear hunks of metal on his head, for instance.

It was a busy night, especially for the back streets and alleys that were usually diserted or scarecely occupied. The majority of people Rorschach and Nite Owl had seen were in bright neon, wielding glow sticks and black lights that made them bright floresent targets for the usual scum that walked these parts. As he'd expected, Daniel found the majority of their victims to be these people being mugged by the local gangs and druggies. But he hadn't been expecting to find a dup of robots almost getting their guts beat out by knot tops.

Disposing of the thugs had been easily enough, even with the distraction of the victim's odd uniforms. Rorschach, of coure, wasn't distracted in the least bit and took down his half of the scum faster then his companion. After tying up the thugs to a light post and calling the police, the two turned to their rescuees.

As he watched one robot help up the other, Dan began to note their appearence in detail. Both of the persons wore all black with only slight variations in each of their costumes. The first one they had saved said nothing when he'd asked if they were unharmed and looked the strangest of the two. His helmet was a circular egg shape with a flat chin and a digitalized smiley face in the middle of a black computer screen. The sides of the helmet, guilded in gold, also displayed some sort of screen that constantly projected a rainbow. It made Dan wonder if he (or she) could speak through it at all.

The other... person... had a simpler design to their helmet. It was all simply metalic grey with a black screen stretched across the eyes and a small smile carved where their mouth would be. When this robot stood, a message flashed across his eyes in red electronic text.

"THANK YOU"

Dan glanced at Rorschach whom he noticed looked just as weary as he.

"Um... You're welcome." Dan tried not to let whatever strange emotions arose from this encounter show in his smile. When it came to odd behavior and fassion choice, he had no room to judge but that didn't mean he had to be entirely comfortable with their choice of wear. He could understand people wanting to dress as superheros but why would anyone want to be a robot?

Then, Rorschach, having said nothing throughout the whole rescue until now, pointing out something Dan should have caught from the begining.

"New to the job?" Rorschach asked. "Should be more careful if looking to persue this line of work."

It was then that everything started to click for Dan. The odd, shiny, and robotic duo before them were masks like themselves. They just must have been new to the circuit, not fully realized how horribly dangerous their profession could be. It made sense. They were probably blindsidded because of their bulky headgear. It didn't look like they offered much visability.

But before Dan could say anything about the mater, the two were shaking their heads in sync, raising their hands in front of their bodies in a very animated but childish display of their denial of Rorschach's asumption.

The first reached into a pocket on the side of his leg, sealed by a zipper, and retreaved a folded piece of paper which he handed to Nite Owl. The vigilante took it between his fingers and unfolded the paper out into a flyer. Rorschach, who hadn't looked away from the two the whole time looked at the flyer as well.

'DAFT PUNK : PERFORMING TONIGHT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN'

Below the heading was a photo of the two robots before them in a giant pyramid. The whole thing was lit in neon and spot lights. On the bottom of the flyer was all the information about time, location, and ticket prices.

"Oh, so you're a... band." Dan sighed a little in relief. They must have been on their way to the concert when they were jumped. "But why were you walking? These streets aren't safe even in the day. It's dangerous. Especially with... attire like yours."

The two looked at each other then shrugged simultaniously. It was all so perfect and exact, each movement matching the other so perfectly, that it made Daniel wonder if it was rehersed or if the duo was like that with each other naturally.

For Rorschach, their buisness was done, and after thrusting the flyer back at the robots, he began to make his was down the alley. "Police will be coming soon. Should be leaving."

"But, Rorschach!" Dan looked at his partner's retreating back then to their rescuees. He couldn't just leave them there to find their own way. They could very well be attacked again and just as easily mugged before the police arrived. Taking a step towards his partner and looking back down the alley, he shouted, "Rorschach, wait a minute!"

From the corner of Daniel's eye he caught movement and then a flash of gold. The rainbow robot was down the alley in a flash, catching hold of Rorschach's sleeve and tugging slightly once before letting go. It gained the desired effect. Rorschach flipped around with his hand balled. If the musician hadn't been wearing a metal mask that he surmized could break bone, Dan realized Rorschach would have punched him (or her).

The robot reached in his pocket just as before and presented Rorschach with something Dan couldn't see. It took exactly five minutes, in which time the robot and Rorschach stood staring at each other. He'd never seen something so rediculous. One mask staring at another, neither sure what to be stairing at. He wondered if the robot was communicating the same way the other had been; with short words flashed across the face of it's computer screen.

When the robot that Daniel had aptly dubbed Rainbow had returned, Rorschach was on his tail, returning to his place at Nite Owl's side and hunching his shoulders. "Could accompany them to concert. Make sure they arrive safely."

It was then that he held up what Rainbow had given him. Dan grinned at the two concert tickets pressed between his partner's leather clad fingers.

The foursome arrived to the concert in Archie just as the two were to take their place on stage. During the ride on Archie, the robots had revealed their names as Daft and Technologic. Still, Dan had nearly slipped in calling Technologic Rainbow. They'd also told them they performed what they called techno music though Dan had never heard of it before. Then again, he was the type to listen to the musical stylings of BB King and Louis Armstrong.

The simpler of the two robots, the one Daniel had come to know as Daft, flashed another "THANK YOU" across his eyes as he did when they'd been rescued. He started his way down to the stage as Technologic turned towards Daniel with his Robotic smile.

What came next, shocked Daniel.

"Enjoy your date." The robot said in a voice that was entirely human. The face on his mask winked before he too made his way after Daft.

Daft and Technologic scaled down the rope ladder dropped from the belly of Archie and took their places in the Pyramid structure as their fans cheered. As he looked out, Dan noticed all of the crowd clad in glow sticks and paint. Illuminated by the neon and stage lights, they appeared as a sea of rioting robots.

"Wow." Dan couldn't help but smile. "I never realized how popular this techno stuff was."

Rorschach made something between a grunt and a scoff and simply nodded.

A/N: I'm sorry I'm not a very good writer. I remember seeing the robots of Daft Punk's names as Daft and something I can't quite remember, For that reason the other's name is Technologic.

Also, I can't spell to save my life and i'm using wordpad so please ignore all spelling and grammer mistakes.
