Chapter One: The Call
The night seemed quiet with the teenager sitting at home watching the television to alert himself about what was going on in Gotham city. Wearing a gold coloured vest over his white buttoned down shirt, the teenager didn't seem to be more than a spoiled rich kid, but he was far more than that. He was Richard Grayson, or to the criminal world, Robin the boy wonder. His dark eyes flickered to the television when he heard the news on the latest deaths found in the nearby alleyway. With a sigh, the boy looked towards the door hearing someone enter the study with a clicking tongue. He could only smile at the sweet elderly woman carrying a tray of cookies and hot cocoa.
"Such madness if you ask me Deary. I certainly hope Batman and Robin put him in his place. Goodness me, what is the world coming to?"
Dick smiled grimly accepting the snack, taking a bite from the chocolate chip cookie with a soft sigh. "I don't know Aunt Harriet but I am sure they will put the dasterly villian in it's place." The teenager never told the woman that he was Robin with Bruce Wayne being Batman but he felt it was best that she not know. Goodness, it she knew then she would worry about them when they were on patrol. It was always important to keep their identies secret after all. Just as Dick drank down his hot cocoa, the door to the study opened admitting the eldarly butler giving dark haired boy a knowing nod.
"Excuse me Master Dick but there is a phone call from Shanghi. Master Bruce wishes to speak with you." The tone of his voice broke no argument with Dick springing from the yellow couch with a nod.
"Thanks Alfred...I'll see you tomorrow Aunt Harriet but I'll turn in after talking to Bruce." He then headed into the office with the doors closing behind him hearing the woman bidding him good night. With a heavy heart, his stomach quivering with some nervous plus excitement, Dick picked up the reciver of the red phone that always connected them to Commissioner Gordon. "Yes Commissioner?"
"Robin? Where's Batman?"
"Batman is not available tonight but I can help you. What is going on?"
"Well, Robin. We've found a new victim...It is like the rest. This man was found on the docks with no blood. Never seen anything like this...What do you make of it?"
"I don't know but I will find out. I'll put this villian behind bars Commisioner." Dick said with a confidence he currently didn't feel. This would be his first mission without the caped crusader and the boy was suddenly unsure if he could do it alone. It was too late to turn back so he hung up and turned towards the secret panel in the office. Shaky fingers pulled the leaver under the statue's head before shaky legs went to the twins poles that were revealed once the panel slide open. He had made his bed and now had to sleep in but he wouldn't be the one going down tonight if he had anything to say about it.
