Okay guys, I gotta' know something. Three reviews? One of which I had to ask for? Is it my writing? Is it the genre? It's the pairing isn't it? I'm losing inspiration here. Music, books, and film only take me so far. Anyway, chapter three is gonna' be short…er (than usual). I can't think of much to write. Here goes.

Disclaimer: You know the drill by now.

P.S. The man Robin talks to in Chinatown will speak Cantonese. If I'm wrong about what they speak in Chinatown, please inform me and it will be changed.

Chapter 3: Arrival and Trouble

Robin put his sunglasses on as he stepped of the "Batwing". He turned to face the cockpit, waved and shouted "Thanks Babs!"

Barbara Gordon (a.k.a. Batgirl) waved at him and brought jet around for a silent take-off.

Robin looked at the city spread in front of him. They had landed just outside of L.A. He took a deep breath and began the trek to Chinatown.

"Urgh!" That word (if it even is one) was enough to describe the way Robin felt at this point. Chinatown was bustling with activity and he couldn't get anyone to stop long enough to ask about Caine. Finally, he just grabbed someone's arm to stop them. " Do you know a man named Caine? " He asked in Cantonese.

The man immediately beamed and answered, " Yes, yes! Everyone knows Master Caine. At least by reputation. " Robin sighed in relief.

" Where is he? "

" No one knows exactly at this point. There are rumors that he went to Downtown. " Robin hung his head. All that searching only to be pointed in another direction. He thanked the man and started towards Downtown.

Beast Boy pulled out a chair and motioned for Raven to sit down. How cute. She thought. For once he's trying to act like a gentleman. Raven sat and Beast Boy went to sit across from her. They were at the local Chinese restaurant.

"They only serve the authentic stuff here." Beast Boy told her. "I'm somewhat of a regular."

"Well. He's finally got a date." Someone behind Raven said. Raven spun around (no swivly chairs this time) to face a young Caucasian teen in a "Kung Fu uniform" (you know, those clothes Bruce Lee is wearing in Enter the Dragon, tell me the name and I'll change it). "How's it goin'?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"Fine." Raven said in complete monotone. Beast Boy laughed.

"Raven this Tim Kowalski. Tim this is Raven. Tim and his sister Codie work here. Speaking of, where is Codie?" Tim motioned up to the ceiling.

"She's in bed. She's no feeling well today. I got her to try tofu last night." Tim laughed and took their orders. While the food was being prepared Beast Boy and Raven began talking. It turned out that they actually like a lot of the same things. They both liked classical music (much to Raven's surprise) and both were looking forward to the Silent Hill movie. This surprised Beast Boy.

"I admit, I played the games in my room." Beast Boy laughed at Raven's confession. They were going to continue talking when a noise at the front of the restaurant drew their attention. A group a thugs were hassling the owner. Beast Boy sighed.

"They've been coming in here to try and get 'protection money'. Mr. Lei keeps refusing." One of the thugs pulled a knife and Raven started to get up. Beast Boy stopped her. "Don't worry. Let someone else handle it."

Raven was about to start arguing with him when Tim walked up to the thugs. He motioned for Mr. Lei to get back and began talking to the thugs. They obviously didn't like what he had to say.

One of them lunged at him, but quicker than Raven could blink, the thug was on the ground with his arm trapped behind his back. The other thugs rushed Tim and he released the one with the knife (who at this point had a broken arm). A swift kick to the face left one out of the fight and a palm to the throat took out another. The remaining thug punched at Tim, but he trapped the thugs arm and swept a leg out from under him. When the thug hit the floor Tim finished him off with a strong punch to the stomach. He then dragged them out of the restaurant as everyone cheered.

"Raven was dumbstruck. "He's as good, if not better, than Robin." Beast Boy only chuckled.

"Told ya' we wouldn't have to do anything." Then his grin turned to a frown. "Nut now our food is gonna' take longer to get here!"

Okay… That turned out to be the longest chapter. Anyway, the point is I need more reviews. Reviews are my fuel. If I don't get them I shut down. Anyway, next chapter has another cross-over… maybe.
