Hey there people. Sorry for the late update, been kinda busy with tons of stuff. So I had to fit in a few words every now and then here and there. Some one asked a very good question. How does the title go with the story and who is Night's commander person. The title will make sense in, I want to say the latest chapter, the forth. So it should start to unravel around there. As for the second ?...hehe, that's a secret.
Disclaimer: I begged for TT, I want Robin all to myself, but people these days are so stingy so, I don't own it.
Shall we?
The Titans by now had retired back to the tower and drifting into sleep. Robin stayed awake and watched the moon that was now slowly falling into the horizon. A few specks of light drifted into his room but most of it remained a luminous dark seeming to match his feelings at the current moment. As soon as they had came back from the pizza parlor he had begun to research and review the streak of crimes. But nothing seemed to match. As soon as one piece of the puzzle fit in something else appeared to block it. Who could possibly afford having such talented villains, assuming they were all under one leader. What was the purpose? And why, with all that talent, were they aiming at banks, running to hide outs, doing regular stuff with such amazing potential? He sighed and fell back on his bed his head pounding.
He closed his eyes and didn't notice another pair of eyes cautiously glancing into the window. They watched seemingly entranced with the Boy Wonder. But Robin was too far in his thoughts to even sense such an obvious thing. He just laid there, letting the feeling sink into him slowly.
"BEEP!"
Robin shot up into an upright position just before the figure raised himself up. Robin caught a glimpse and immediately ran to the window.
"Damn…No offense sit but you could of waited a while." Night mumbled to the headset in his ear as he ran up the wall and to the roof top. He waited for a harsh reply or a remark at how he should learn more respect, when no answer came he rushed to the other side where the wall had little cracks that would make the descent easier. He stopped as he saw Robin standing on the edge of the roof staring at him.
"What are you doing here?" Robin asked.
Night shrugged. "On a little night duty." He said.
Robin glared at him obviously suspicious. "You mean to tell me you just wander around at night peeping into people's windows?"
Night laughed. "Boy did you make me sound like a little pervert." He looked at Robin taking in his features. He looked only about a year or two younger than his own age. Fifteen or sixteen at the most. He also looked small and skinny but he wasn't going to be fooled. The kid had quite a punch if the reputation wasn't falsely stated. And his training with the Bat and his acrobatic back ground made his a worthy opponent. He held only a slight advantage over Night since he himself turned out to be more skilled in using weapons and gadgets while Robin was skilled in both weaponry and contact battle.
Night couldn't see too many details. His eyes were covered with a mask as were his own and his hair was spiked up and looked to be glowing blue but than again, the moon was out and it could of easily reformed the color. Night felt somewhat superior though since it looked like he had a full two inches on him in height.
"What do you want?" Robin suddenly said getting tired of the waiting.
Night opened his mouth to reply but suddenly the head phone in his ear went off loudly.
"Night! These were not my orders, I did not tell you to reveal yourself to him. You are to report back immediately." The voice was steady but clearly held a hint of dissatisfaction.
"But sir, why can't we move up the plans? I mean he's right----"
The voice sharply cut him off. "We'll have to move plans up thanks to you but not yet, report back."
With that Night said no more. "Well little bird boy, I'd love to sit and chat but I got orders else where. " Night turned around and ran to the other side of the roof out looking the sea that encircled the tower. Robin ran after him.
"Later boy! We should do this again sometime!" With a wave and a playful grin Night leaped off the building just as Robin reached out to grab him. Robin missed and had to quickly regain his balance or he himself would have fallen off. He watched Night fly down and land into the water.
"So you're telling us the dude was just watching you? He didn't do anything?" Beastboy tapped the side of his head as if trying to turn on his thinking. He shook his head after a while. "Dude! That makes no sense."
"But it's true! I saw him!" Robin said standing up off the couch. He knew he shouldn't have told his fellow Titians. He knew they were going to call him crazy.
"Robin please, calm down." Starfire said trying to get him to sit back down and relax. But he refused. He released her hand off his shoulder, anger and slight embarrassment burning inside of him.
Cyborg shook his head. "Hey man, the scanner, the computers, the police, nobody and nothing seem to be seeing or picking up who you're describing. I mean out alarm would have picked up some one. And we got the best system around; we got a profile on every criminal and crime right down to that little brat who stole the lolly pop from the candy shop. There's just no---"
Robin glared at Cyborg and made him stop dead in his sentence. "I know what I saw! Something is going on in Jump and I have to stop it! What if it has something to do with Slade?"
Starfire's eyes immediately lit up green with worry. "Robin, you know Slade is dead. Remember, Terra and her sacrifice? You stressed, and tired. Please, just let us help you…"
Robin opened his mouth to object but stopped himself. In the end he walked to the hall way. He slammed his fist on the wall before disappearing into the dark shadows. Raven watched and had to stop the rest of the team from following. "Let him go." She said.
"Damn it! Why won't they believe me?" Robin yelled venting out his frustration in the security of his room. He looked over and over again through the computer's profile and searched his own thoughts again and again trying to remember if he had ever seen anybody like the boy he saw last night.
"Oh, little Bird Boy's friends don't believe him?" A voice teased coming out of no where.
Robin swiftly turned around. "What the—"
Before him was Night, hanging upside down from his ceiling grinning mockingly. He dropped down and landed with a flip. "It hurts to have your own friends call you crazy, huh? Yeah, you know you're just a big ole' baby. Crying over your little entourage. I don't know why he's so interested in you."
Robin narrowed his eyes. "How'd you get in here? And who's interested in me?"
Night shrugged. "Sorry kid, I only can tell you so much or it'll be my butt on the line. As for how I got in…well it was easy. You see I started out—"
He stopped talking just in time to realize Robin rushing at him with a staff twirling in his hands. "Well I don't care how you got in but you're getting out!" Robin shouted swinging it at his intruder.
Night backed up missing the blow. "Hot headed enough?" he said dodging another swing.
Robin ignored the comment and swung yet again. This time Night blocked it with his palm straight open. He smiled and suddenly a bolt of electricity shot through the pole and to Robin's body. Robin dropped the staff. Becoming annoyed he threw a fist followed by a back kick, both were maneuvered around by Night.
"Come on Birdy, don't tell me this is all you have." Night said throwing a punch of his own. Robin ducked to the left annoyance swelling inside him.
"It's not." He said suddenly sending a hard kick slamming into Nights stomach. Night stumbled backward and glanced up in enough time to see a fist slam into his face. He crashed into the wall and landed on Robin's bed.
"I guess you do have a little sting…" Night said rolling off the bed to avoid Robins foot that came rushing at his face. Night pulled out a disk and threw it at Robin. Robin ducked. Only a small cut that leaked out a trace of blood was the remainder of the attack but Night was grinning like it had just sliced his arm off.
"I would of liked it to hit a bit more deeper but, my job is done." Night said dusting himself off.
Robin snarled and ran at Night. "Don't flatter yourself!" he shouted his fist flying behind him and ready to launch.
"Until next time." Night said throwing down a smoke bomb. A loud boom erupted through out the room and echoed through the halls. Robin found himself punching at nothing but air. He looked around confused when he suddenly heard foot steps running outside his door. He ran after them.
Robin followed the dark shadow that swiftly ran around each corner seeming not to notice Robin in pursuit. The halls were dark and barely lit, all Robin could make out was a silhouette but he chased on anyway. When they got close to the end of the hall Robin took out a small ice bomb and to bird-erangs and sent them flying. In a moment the figure landed on the floor frozen. Robin ran to him a surge of victory running through him. He froze dead when he saw who his victim really was.
I wonder who it is...hehe Later
