Here's the second one of the Teen Titans Challenges! This one doesn't include any OCs, so OC haters can return now, but Robin haters should still flee!

A response to the challenges by Nikevi. I'm going to attempt to do all three. This is the second one, where Batman comes to visit Robin in Jump.

PLEASE: Ignore the fact that I know next to nothing about Batman. Sorry if anything seems a little too OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I also don't own Batman.

The Robin and the Bat

Flashback

A horrible shriek came from Plasmus as civilians in front of him ran in terror. The goo monster sliced open a tank of acid and began to gulp it down - until a birdarang flew by, slicing off a bit of his side. He let out another scream.

Robin, who was currently riding on the back of Beast Boy (who was in pteradactyl form) leapt off of the shapeshifter, bo-staff at the ready, as Starfire launched Cyborg towards Plasmus, firing off an eyebeam as she did so. Raven, the last Titan on the scene, telekinetically picked up and threw multiple street lights at the goo monster.

All the Titans landed together for a moment, glaring at their foe. "Plasmus!" Robin shouted, "Stand down!"

Their response was yet another screech as Plasmus threw the tanker at them, causing the Titans to leap apart. Robin shouted his signature phrase: "Titans, GO!"

A blue sonic beam shot at Plasmus, accompanied by green starbots from above. More street lights encased in black energy flew at the goo monster, now joined by cars and the occasional mailboxes. The firing ceased for a moment, however, as a disc thrown by Robin caused Plasmus to become frozen in ice. Taking a chance, Beast Boy smashed through the ice as a T-Rex, turning back to stomp on as much as he could. He shifted back to human, looking hopefully at the ice shards...

But the purply goo shot out, reforming into Plasmus. The monster gave another screech -

- But the cold glint of something that looked like a birdarang sliced straight through him. The hole, of course, closed in a matter of seconds, but Plasmus's attention was momentarily diverted from the Titans - and that was really all they needed.

"Raven, now!"

"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" Raven chanted her signature mantra as she floated Indian-style in the air. Her figure glowed for a moment, then a black version of her - her soul-self - left her body and flew into Plasmus. The goo monster bulged from the inside before exploding, the now-sleeping human form of Plasmus collapsing onto the street. Raven's soul-self reentered her body, and the half-demoness floated back down to the ground to join her teammates.

"Seriously, now that we know Raven just has to do that to beat Plasmus, it's getting easier to defeat him," Beast Boy commented to the others. Robin, however, was not listening. He was looking in the direction the birdarang-like object had come from.

"Robin?" Starfire's voice cut off his thoughts. "What-?"

"I'm trying to see who threw that," Robin said before she finished asking. "That weapon seemed familiar..."

"Well, you'd have a horrible memory if it didn't seem familiar," a voice said. A shadowy figure dropped down in front of them, and the Titans gasped. Robin's eyes narrowed a bit as Beast Boy murmured, "No way..."

Standing in front of them with a cocky grin was the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, Gotham's greatest detective and superhero - Batman.

"Batman, can I have your autograph, please, please, pleeeaaassseee?" was the first thing Beast Boy said once everyone was in the Ops room of Titans Tower.

"Uuh..." was Batman's answer as he raised an eyebrow at the green teen. Beast Boy was holding out a pen and a picture of him (don't ask where he got that from - I don't know). Sighing, Batman signed it, not wanting to make a bad impression to Robin's teammates. Of course, he could have done without the fangirlish squeal from Beast Boy after he gave the shapeshifter his autograph.

"So, why are you in Jump?" Robin half-asked, half-snarled. Batman narrowed his eyes behind his mask.

"Robin..." Batman growled. Robin sighed.

"Fine...Hey, Batman, how's it going?" Robin asked half-heartedly.

"I'm fine, Robin, thanks for asking," Batman replied, a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

"Please, Man of Bats, what brings you to the City of Jump?" Starfire asked, flying up in front of the Dark Knight. Batman cocked an eyebrow.

"Uh-?"

"She said 'what brings you to Jump City, Batman?'" Raven translated. Starfire blushed.

"Oh, yes... I am Princess Koriand'r, Starfire in your language, and I am from the planet Tamaran, and your ways and langauge are still a bit...strange to me," Starfire explained, still blushing. Batman sighed.

"It's fine...Starfire..." the Caped Crusader said, forcing himself to sound nice. Then he turned back to Robin. "So, how's your team been?"

"We're doing fine," Robin growled. "After all the Titans from around the world joined up and defeated the Brotherhood of Evil, not much has been happening."

"Unless you count Tokyo, where you and Starfire finally hooked up," Cyborg taunted. The half-robot suddenly turned to Beast Boy.

"Yo, BB, you still owe me five more bucks from our bet."

Beast Boy grumbled to himself as he dug out five dollars from his pocket and slapped into Cyborg's waiting hand. Raven rolled her eyes and Robin shook his head, muttering "Oi." The Boy Wonder then turned back to his former mentor.

"So...how's it going in Gotham?" Robin asked. "How's the Joker, Scarecrow, Clayface...?"

"All in Arkham, at the moment," Batman said. Robin nodded, mumbling, "That's good."

There was an awkward silence that fell over the tower. Raven was reading her book, oblivious. Starfire's emerald eyes darted around the room, trying to find a distraction. Beast Boy had shifted into a kitten and had decided to curl up besides Raven on the couch. Cyborg began playing video games like Tetris Pop on his arm.

"So...uh...did you know that Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl are all Titans, too?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard," Batman mumbled. "Flash is pretty proud, though he still can't believe Wally got that Jinx girl to reform...Wonder Woman's been visiting Donna every now and then, and Aquaman's seen Garth when the kid visits Atlantis. Green Arrow's been checking in on Roy every once in a while, too."

Robin nodded, but Starfire, who had listened in, frowned.

"Roy? Wally? Who are they?" the princess asked.

"Er...Roy is Speedy's real name, and Wally is Kid Flash's real name," Robin explained awkwardly. "Garth is Aqualad's real name, and Donna is Wonder Girl's real name."

"Just like BB's real name is Garfield!" Cyborg piped up, causing Beast Boy, who was back in human form, to turn a weird red-brown from his blush.

"So? I found out your real name is Victor," Beast Boy muttered. Raven sighed, shaking her head and closing her book.

"...Why are we having this conversation again?"

Her response was a chorus of shrugs from the other Titans. The empath sighed again, reopening her book. "Wonderful..."

"What is your real name, Robin?" Starfire innocently asked her boyfriend. The Boy Wonder paled.

"Uh..."

This was going to be an awkward night.

Batman was used to going without sleep, and was content with just sitting on the rooftop in the middle of the night, looking out over the city for any signs of crime.

"Nice up here, huh?" a familiar voice asked. Bruce turned to find Robin walking out onto the roof without his mask, revealing his startling blue eyes.

"I love it up here," Robin murmured, sitting down next to his old mentor. "It's really nice at night, because you can see the stars, but sunrise and sunset are beautiful to watch, too."

Batman nodded. "It is...nice up here," the Dark Knight said awkwardly.

"So...you really came all this way...just to check on me?" Robin asked.

Bruce sighed. "Dick...yeah."

"...Why?"

"...I heard about what happened between you and Deathstroke," Batman sighed. "And then...I heard you fought Trigon, too...and Brother Blood, even the Brotherhood of Evil...and I just...wanted to make sure my old apprentice was...OK."

"I'm fine, Bruce," Robin said, glancing at his mentor. "I really like my team...they're all so great...especially Starfire..."

Bruce frowned a bit at the way Dick's eyes became misty and dreamy when he mentioned the alien princess Starfire. He had warned Dick that falling in love while in the hero business, even with another hero, could be risky.

"I'm actually...in a way...I'm glad I left," Dick continued softly. The raven-haired boy cast a glance up at Bruce, adding, "I still miss the good old times, though...in the Bat Cave, you, me, and Alfred..."

Bruce managed a small smile. "We miss you two, Dick," the Caped Crusader murmured. "But if you're happy...then my work is done."

"Wait...you're leaving already?" Robin asked, standing up a second after Batman.

"Mm...nah," Batman mused. "For once, crime's been pretty slow in Gotham - the Underground hasn't been stirring up trouble either, as basically all of them are in Arkham."

Robin broke into a grin. "Well, we could use a bit of help around here..."

"Yeah, I noticed," Batman said, a smirk forming on his face. "So...I'll stay for a few days until I'm needed back in Gotham."

Dick smiled up at his mentor and guardian. "Thanks, Bruce," the Boy Wonder said. "Thanks...for everything."

It was getting a little long, so I leave you there! Muahaha!

Hope this wasn't to...slashy. It wasn't supposed to be if it was - it was supposed to be more of a friendshipper-type thing.

I probably got the Batman/Gotham City stuff wrong, but oh well!

Again, a response to Nikevi's Robin Challenges thing. This is #2. Please remember that I own nothing!
