The Tower was dark. The only light was coming from the main computer console in the middle of the main room, where the teen wonder sat clicking away, oblivious to the silence around him. The other titans had already retired to their own rooms, Raven to meditate for a while longer, Cyborg to recharge himself, Beast Boy to sleep, and Starfire to take care of Silky before she too retired to the wonderful land of dreams.

He was currently researching the pattern of a string of Chocolate thieves. Candy stores all across Jump City had been lightened of their chocolate. It was a crime. There was only one store left in the entirety of Jump that had chocolate left in it.

He had asked Adrian, when he had dropped by the night before, after the escapade with the dealings in the antique shop, but he had said he didn't have a clue, still, it didn't cease his doubts of Adrian being the one to steal all of the chocolate, but that would be insulting his credibility as a thief. Despite those facts though, they had continued to spend the night with whispered idle chatter and snuggles until dawn. Of course, soon afterwards, he had to leave again, but such were the problems of having…friends…in low places.

He had to stop the chocolate raid. But there was no planning to any of these strikes, none what-so-ever. He had even considered asking 'the old bat' for help, but he doubted Bruce would think that a chocolate thief was important enough to catch his attention, even if he understood the importance of chocolate to him. It just wasn't the same as taking down some bad guy trying to take over the world.

Once again scanning over the information, he decided that there could be no possible reason for someone to steal chocolate. Unless they had a MAJOR sweet tooth. Minimizing the screen, he searched for Xinthonium addictives, he wanted to know how Adrian had reenforced the suit. Maybe if he were to find the chemicals that make up the drug...he could make a reactant that would dissolve the Xinthonium powered 'x's from the wall. It would at least help the Janitors when they cleaned up after a fight.

(o.0)

Nearly hours later, he heard a familiar faint rustle of a cape. Not expecting Adrian to come over, he took his bowstaff out, immediately turning the screen to the security cameras, getting out of his seat as he did so, scanning the surrounding areas intently, waiting a few moments before he saw a slight shift in the shadows.

Flinging a bat-a-rang over to the shadowed figure, hoping to catch him off guard, he went into first position, bow-staff at the ready, calling out to the intruder when he didn't hear the familiar thud of the bat-a-rang against the wall.

"Who's There?"

"Relax Robin." Came a frighteningly familiar voice. "Its only me." The figure stepped out of the shadows and into the light coming from the computer, the familiar mask and cowl upon his face. Breathing a sigh of relief, the teen lowered his bowstaff, but kept it out, incase this was, once again, a test of his skills, or, this Batman was an impostor.

"Bruce." He said in acknowledgement. "What are you here for? I've already given you this week's update."

"I know. But we need to talk. I noticed that in your bank accounts that there was a withdrawal. Why?"

Slightly startled, the teen wonder hurriedly thought a reply to the unexpected, yet completely expected question, his stance barely giving away his nervousness.

"The Titans thought it would be a good idea for me to take a short vacation for a day. I met a few friends at the mall that day...and we decided to go to a concert together." It was a half-truth, hopefully, Bruce wouldn't catch it.

"Give me their names."

"Why? Do you not trust me for some reason?" Came the scoffed reply from the irritated teen, causing the older man to sigh once before he answered.

"Of course I trust you. It's them I don't trust. Let me do a background check and it should be fine."

"Jane Argowits."

"And the other?" The boy wonder sighed in despair/exhasperation.

"Adrian Blak."

"Good."

"Is there anything else you wanted to know while you're here?"

"Not really. But now that I am here...what were you doing up so late? It's almost dawn Robin. I expected even you to be in bed."

"I was researching the chemicals made to use Xinthonium, I was hoping to come up with a way to dissolve the goo that the 'x's in the red-x suit leave behind on the wall, and my team-mates."

"Do you mind if I help?" In this rare show of affection from his mentor, the only thing the shocked teen could do was nod dumbly, and mentally tell himself to close his mouth, watching his 'partner' in justice sit down in the seat recently vacated. He collapsed the bow-staff, attaching it to his belt before he leant over the Batman's shoulder. The only sound in the room was soft breathing, and the slight clicking of the keyboard. Finally glancing down at the bottom of the screen, Bruce Wayne raised one eye-brow beneath his mask.

"Chocolate?" he asked in scepticism and surprise, the teen wonder flushed.

"Almost all of the chocolate is missing in Jump City. I'm trying to figure why as well as figure out when the next attack will be." On a whim, Batman decided to look at the ingredients in chocolate also, have memorized the, known to human, chemicals in order of most potent, and most needed, in Xinthonium. Scanning the ingredients, he noted that in both they had some percentage of the slightly addictive chemicals that made up Xinthonium Ore, Xinthonium more-so than the chocolate. If you were able to take those chemicals out of the chocolate, and somehow add them to the Xinthonium, you could end up changing the element's use greatly, changing the properties of Xinthonium, most likely changing for the worst.

Pointing it out to the teen wonder, they both went to studying the properties, and how they might effect the other reactants in the highly experimental chemical, till the first Titan woke up, Batman leaving before Beastboy could come into the main room, a final ruffling of hair, and the assurances that he too, would work on the chocolate problem and send his regards to Alfred.

(o.O)

Adrian Blak sat in his eleventh grade Literature class. Bored out of his mind. They were currently studying the classic romance of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. They had only gotten half way through the book...and really...he was disturbed. There were just too many parallels to his and Dick's relationship. He had 'slighted' Dick at the mall, the first time he saw him, without knowing the kid was listening. And when he saw him again...well lets just say it wasn't pretty. Obviously they had worked out their differences and are happily going out right now...But still, it was...scary.

Thinking of Dick...he missed him. It had been a whole...he looked at the clock, two days, three hours, fourteen minutes and 36, 37 seconds. And the last time he had seen him he hadn't even been able to kiss the jerk. NOT FUN!

Jane Argowits, also known as Jay-Jay, nearly fell out of her chair laughing when she glanced at her long time friend. Ignoring her teachers disapproving glare, she stole his notes. He didn't notice. Glancing at the past couple pages, she saw doodles of a spiky black haired teen, occasionally an eye, and, dare she say it, written in cursive, and in a style reminiscent to chicken scratches, was Dick Grayson, all, over, the paper. It was pathetic. Glancing at the teacher, making sure her back was turned, she slipped her cell phone out of her pocket, taking a picture of the page, making sure to use it for black mail later. Glancing at her recent text messages, she noticed one from Dick, wondering slightly how he knew her phone number she clicked on it.

Hey! Its Dick...I wanna meet Addie for lunch at his house. Tell 'm to skip. Don't tell why. Bye.

Looking at the clock on her phone before she turned it off, she noticed it was almost time for lunch. The bell ringing a moment later, everyone rushing out of the room, except for Adrian who was still in his daze.

Sitting on his desk, she lowered her voice somewhat and began to talk.

"Hey Addie. What'cha doin?" Adrian didn't look up.

"Shut it Dickey-boy." Unable to control her giggle she fell to the floor, effectively shocking Adrian out of his daze.

"Ha Ha Ha! That was sooo funny! I can't believe you thought I was your boyfriend!" Some of the people still near the door turned around in shock, staring at them both for a moment before shrugging and hurrying to Lunch.

"That wasn't that funny you know." Adrian said after Jay-Jay reigned in her giggles.

"It is a saaad day when Adrian Blak can only focus on his boyfriend instead of me."

"Yeah well at least I've got a boyfriend. I seem to recall you not having one."

"That is because I am a sensible young woman who doesn't have time for such trivial things." She said with an air of superiority around her, grabbing her books as she spoke.

"Of course you are. And that is why you failed math last quarter." He laughed at her and walked out the door and into the hallway towards his locker, Jay Jay following him with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Yeah well you failed Stupidity." she finally answered his taunt.

"Ya know Jane" he ignored the growled 'Its JAY-JAY' "I don't think it counts if you say your come-back four minutes late...or if it sucks as bad as that one did."

"Well at least I'm not mooning over a boyfriend." Adrian rolled his eyes and opened his locker, kissing his finger and pressing it against Dick in his half of a picture strip of both him and Dick in a mall photo-booth. Shaking himself out of his daze, he looked to Jay-Jay.

"So are we skipping this afternoon?"

"You betcha. I'm gonna go get the movie, and you are going to go home and start the popcorn."

"Mm kay." Leaving his bag in the locker he exited the school grounds, aimlessly wandering down the familiar streets and alleys on the way to his family's apartment. He had almost made it home when he saw a flash of red and green before he was slammed against a nearby wall, but before he could move a very familiar mouth pressed over his. Groaning slightly, he moved his mouth with his boyfriends, wrapping his arms around his waist, feeling Dick's arms wrap around his neck and hold him closer, opening his mouth slightly as he did so, wanting to feel all of his boyfriends mouth before he ran out of air.

"Hey...pant...kid. What...pant...an entrance." Was the first thing out of his breathless mouth.

"Well I haven't seen my boyfriend in forever. And I can't stay long either; I have to get back to the Titans soon. Jay-Jay shouldn't be bothering us for the moment though." Adrian gave him an enquiring glance as he unlocked his door. "I texted her through one of the programs that Cyborg installed on the computer, she'll be back in half an hour or so."

Opening the door Adrian leered at him. "Good." He walked into the kitchenette while Dick, in his Robin suit, sat in the living room.

"Bring me a soda when you come back!" The teen wonder shouted to the blue haired teen rummaging in the fridge.

"You got it Kid!"

"Don't call me kid ADDIE!"

"Shut it Dickey-boy!" Robin just laughed.

Don't forget to Review! I love you! kisses puppy dog eyes PLEASE!
