Teen Titans
Raven: *They do not trust me. There's no reason they should. It was my father who tried to rule over this world. And for a while, I worked alongside him. Yet they have invited me here, to live in their home, along with Beast Boy. I feel anger towards me from Wonder Girl. She hasn't trusted me from the moment she saw me.*
RR: "Alright, we're going to have to make some changes to the ship. We have extra people staying here. For the moment, Beast Boy and Raven can sleep in the living room. Superboy still has his own place to live. Right now though, we need to head back out. I received a tip before Trigon invaded that a weapons shipment would be arriving tonight. We need to be the ones to go out and stop it."
KF: "Look Red, love ya and all bud, but we're all dead tired. Fighting demonic overlords and three of his kids plus being possessed kinda does that to you. No offense Rave." Raven shrugs a bit
RR: "Fine, I'll on my own. I've got no problem with that."
Cassie: "In your dreams bird-boy. You're the leader of this team, we can't have you going off and dying on us. I'll go with you.
RR: "Alright. I'm heading out now though. Meet you at the harbor in half an hour. I'm going to look around the area, investigate a bit." RR walks out
Kon: "I need to get back to my place. There's stuff I need to do most likely. Call me if you need me." Superboy flies off as Miguel, Bart and Kiran walk to their rooms, leaving Cassie and Raven alone with Beast Boy.
Gar: Looking between the two "Um… hey, guys, Bart, Miguel, wait up! Please?" He runs out of the room as the two women glare at one another
Cassie: "Look, we don't need you here. We're tight around the place as it is. Why Red said you could stay beats me. He trusts you only because you helped. I'm not so easy to fool. Stay out of my way."
Raven: "I do not understand why you still refuse to trust me. I aided you in defeating my father. You could at least show some consideration towards me if you weren't so stubborn."
Cassie: "Whatever. This conversation isn't over. But right now, Red needs my help with his crap."
Raven: "You try to act as if you do not care for the boy, yet you can't hide emotions from me. I am an empath. I can feel everything you all feel. Your heart leaps at spending time with him, does it not? I have a feeling I am not the first to notice how you two act towards one another. Goodnight." Raven walks off, Cassie glaring at her before she flies off
-Not too long later, New York harbor-
RR: "You're late." He steps out from the shadows, looking at Cassie as she lands
Cassie: "Raven and I had a small talk before I came here. Nothing important." He nods a bit, looking out at the water
RR: "You're lucky. The boat is late as well. It's going to be holding some dangerous stuff. Weapons most likely. They'll probably test them out of us. I also heard that there's some sort of ice cream on that ship called Black Ice. It's apparently been created to get children addicted and then they work for whoever holds the supply so they get more."
Cassie: "People nowadays really are sick in the head, aren't they?" She crosses her arms over her chest, following his gaze.
RR: "Ship is coming in from the southeast. 'El pingüino'. But.. That translates to..."
Voice from behind: "The Penguin. Red Robin, what are you doing here? I didn't give you that information so you could stop this shipment. I told you so you could stay out of my way." Batman looks down at the two.
RR: "You mean like you wanted me to stay out of your way when you were taking apart Frankenstien's monster?" Cassie gives off a confused look "I'll explain later. And this isn't your city. Go back to Gotham. We've got work to do." As the ship docks, the three move toward it
Batman: "At least let me join you this one time. We need to have a chat anyways."
Cassie: "Look Batman, you can tag along this time, but after that I suggest you-"
RR: "Fine. Let's just get this done."
They crew members shout out orders as the three descend upon them. RR watches as they break open the crates and fire at them, just as he had suspected they would. They were firing practice. Good. As they landed Cassie rushed towards one of the men and grabs his gun, smashing it against the mans head. RR and Batman land on two men in sync, leaping forwards and graabing the man in front of thems heads, moving them towards one another and knocking the two heads together. Completely mirroring one another. Cassie lifted up a crate, throwing it at three men, watching it land on them. As one of the crew members shot at her, she used her gauntlets to deflect the bullets, glaring at the man. RR leapt behind the man, sweeping his legs from under him, watching the man hit his head and get knocked out cold. Batman threw his batarangs from his utility belt, hitting three men in their necks, knocking them out. As the last crew member falls, The Penguin steps out from behind the door, glaring.
Penguin: "Oi! What the bloody hell is going on out here?! Get your asses in gear!" He notices the bodies on the ground and looks up to see RR rushing forward, grabbing him by his collar and slamming him against the steel door.
Cassie: "Red!"
Batman: "Robin! Put him down!" RR glares up at the short man, who is grinning evilly.
Penguin: "My my, looks like someone has a mighty big grudge against me don't he? What'd I do to ya lad? Break your leg? Arm? Steal somethin' from ya? Bett'r yet, take someone? That's gotta be it. Who was it? Sister? Brother? Or you parents?" RR growls and drops him to the ground walking off as Penguin chuckles "Too chicken to finish me off eh? Can't say I'm surprised." RR turns around and slams his fist into Penguin's face, knocking him out.
Cassie: "Red..?" She reaches out to put her hand on his shoulder but he starts to walk off
RR: "The yacht. Now. Batman and I need to discuss some things."
Cassie: "Fine, I'll meet you two there." As she flies off she pulls out her phone "Kon. We'll need you at the yacht. Yeah, I know you just left but... Shut up and get your ass there."
Batman: "Tim. This team of yours.."
RR: "Not now. You can lecture me all about it when we get back to the yacht." He glares at Batman before shooting off a grappling hook.
-Back at the yacht-
Kon: "I don't understand why you needed me here Cassie."
Cassie: "Because, you have the tactile telekinesis, you can see through whatever you're touching. Now look, see if you can hear what they're saying." He shakes his head
Kon: "I've worked with Batman before. If he's here then something is wrong. He'll probably use Red Robin as some sort of distraction.." He says, recalling the battle again H'el
Cassie: "I don't care!"
Miguel: "We should not intrude Cassie, they could be thinking of a battle plan against some evil crime lord from Gotham.."
Cassie: "Fine..." She glares, walking off to train
-RR's room-
Batman: "Tim, this team of yours needs to be disbanded. None of you know what you're doing. You can't just put on a costume and call yourself a hero. That Kid Flash caused a debacle in Westchester not too long ago. Take this team down, or the Justice League will. Do these kids even know your real name? Or do they only know you as Red Robin?"
RR: "Bruce, that isn't your call. These people, my friends, saved a bunch of metahuman teenagers from a secret organization called N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Ever heard of them? Doubtful, but they're on the government's payroll. They kidnapped some of those kids. We're out there to protect those kids, because all of you up in that satellite of yours don't even think about people our age. You're too busy saving the world. So, unless you have any other lies or secrets you've kept from me concerning your little rogue's gallery I suggest you leave."
The two glare at each other before Batman walks to the window and leaps out, an engine revving as he speeds off. RR shakes his head a bit, changing and walking to the training room to find Cassie there.
Cassie: "Your friend already leave? Too bad, he seemed like such a great guy." The sarcasm in her voice could be detected on the other side of the world.
RR: "He didn't belong here. He tried to tell me that this team shouldn't be together, and that if I didn't disband us, he and the Justice League would." He walked over to a punching bag, and started to swing his fists and legs hard and fast, glaring.
Cassie: "The Justice League? They could hardly stop that invasion a few years back. What makes them think they can stop us?" She runs on a treadmill next to him, looking towards him
RR: "Some of them have the same abilities as us. They know their powers better than you all know your own. And they're all powerful, and highly respected. To the world we're delinquents."
Cassie: "That doesn't mean anything. We're a good team. We can take them down if they try anything. You're a strategist. No offense Red, but-"
RR: "Tim…"
Cassie: "What..?"
RR: "My real name is Tim Drake." He hits the punching bag one last time, looking at her. I trust you with my name. And soon, I will with everyone else as well. Goodnight." He turns and walks out of the training room.
