Chapter Seven: Bird Hunting Part three

"I can't seem to find his communicator." said Cyborg giving up. "I might be able to if someone uses it... I can set up an system that could possibly lets us know if someone playing around with it..." Cyborg wished one of the other Titans was with him. He was alone in the Batcave with Batman. And it wasn't as cool as it sounded. Robin hadn't been joking when he said Batman wasn't an people person.

"Do it." order Batman bluntly

Cyborg nodded his head. "You know, Robin still check out what going on in Gotham everyday with out fail... Sometime more than once.." Cyborg wasn't sure why he told Batman that, but it seemed important. Whatever prombles Batman and Robin have they still cared about one another. Batman didn't response Cyborg went back to work quietly hoping that one other would be back soon.

...

Raven knew everyone was relying on her to make connect with Robin. To find him. She didn't want to let anyone down...

"Don't be to hard on yourself." said Superman, he seem to know what she was thinking "We all know you are trying your best."

"If I can't find him..." Began Raven.

"No one, has been able to find him yet." said Superman. "Everyone been looking. Robin only been missing about an day now, he's disappeared longer than that before. We've always been able to find him, or he's always be able to get to us..."

That information didn't help Raven feel any better "Everyone worried, they pretending everything is going to be okay, but they more worried than they let on." said Raven, she wasn't naive. Plus she could sense everyone emotions "And we know Robin, was injured before be went missing. We know how stubborn he can be."

Superman frowned it seem like he was debating whether to say something on not "What do you know about court?"

"I already knew they were assassins, plus what Robin told us, which is no a lot really." Said Raven

"How many of the missing children do you think wanted to become assassins?" Asked Superman, watching Raven carefully.

"Not many." guessed Raven

"And what are the changes Robin, is the first to trun down their offer or try to escape?"

"Quit unlikely." said Raven. She had an feeling whatever the point Superman was going to make she wasn't going to like it.

"How many have been found?"

"None."

"Robin, as you know is very well trained, but its likely the Talons will try to brain wash him or torcher him to becoming an Talon." Superman paused "Robin is strong, he survived people like the Joker more than once... But the Joker we know - the Court of Owls we don't. That's why we are more worried than usual. We don't know what they are doing, or how they are doing it."

Raven didn't think about how the Court might trun Robin into an Talon. And that scared her, Robin was one of the most strongest person she knew, it would take an lot for Robin to become an assassin...to trun his back on what he spend half his life doing. Robin must of had some idea,that why he let them figure out his real name, why he willing left the Tower...It make Raven ever more determine to find out were Robin was. "Azararh Metrion Zinnthos"

...

Beast Boy hit his head on the table and groaned "Its impossible to keep track were the circus has been recently yet alone years ago."

"And who was there." added Speedy

"But Robin must of mention something to you three." said Starfire addressing Kid Flash, Speedy and Batgirl "You knew who he was for an long time."

"Doesn't mean he tell us much." said Batgirl "He barely mention the circus to me."

"If he told anyone anything about the circus it would of been Kid Flash." added Speedy pointlessly nodded towards Kid Flash direction.

Kid Flash looked up as all eye were on him "He told some stuff, but nothing about any Owls, or people going missing. But he though all that were stories."

"Why don't we asked Michel Hills." asked Batgirl looking up from her laptop "Also know as smiley the clown, he retired an few years ago just outside Gotham..."

"Dick mention him." said Kid Flash at once "After Robin was made to stay in Gotham, Smiley would always send him an postcard updating him about the circus..."

They agree to talk to the clown. But they had to be careful not to mention that Dick Grayson was Robin the boy Wonder. Beast Boy had to stay behind because he stood out too much. Speedy also chosen to stay and do some research. Starfire, Kid Flash and Batgirl all went to speck to the old clown hoping he might be able to help.

...

Robin try to stay calm. He was locked in an pitch black room. He couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything apart from his own breathing. He knew what the Talon were doing. Sensory deprivation. Robin close his eyes, he could feel the pain from all the fighting hd had done. He had to stay calm. He couldn't panic. He couldn't let them get to him.

One thing that keep him focused was numbers. Travelling around as much as he did when he was younger, he grown up around an lot of different languages. Numbers were the same wherever you went, they follow the same patterns the same rules.

Robin was very good with numbers.

If he focus on numbers hopefully that would keep him from losing his mind... Robin kept his eyes closed - he couldn't see anything anyway. 'One times seven is Seven, two time seven is fourteen, three time seven is twenty one, four time seven is twenty eight, five times seven is thirty five..."

...

Michel Hill was an friendly old man, who let them in once they prove they were Dicks firends.

"I hear Dick been send to boarding school." said Michel as they walked In to the small apartment.

"Yes sir." said Kid Flash at once "We chat online all the time, we hoping to see him really soon."

"Dick, told us some stories he hear at the circus." Began Batgirl

"About the owls." they nodded "You are wondering if they any truth behind it... Sit down, sit down." they did what they were told "I was am outsider to the circus when I joined... Brought up and rises in New York. I join when I was in my early twenties. Hear the stories about the owls... I asked about the origins of the story but no one every said..."

"So you can't tell us anything?" Asked Starfire disappointedly

"Hold on miss, I can you tell you alot." Michel seem to be enjoying his audience "Harly Circus is world famous, no many people know it started out near Gotham, years ago when Gotham was being built." Michel paused "Rumors has it the circus was made by the manger of the circus and some Owls...a deal that meant the circus would alway have another money to stay in business... if as they provided members for the Owls group..." The old clown laught " Just an old story to explain odd things that happen. Easy to blame the supernatural than anything else..."

"Did anyone believe the stories?" Asked Kid Flash

"The older folks did, they were the ones who pass on the stories, Dick used to believe them. His cousin was alway making fun if him because of it. The Graysons... God rest they souls... An horrid was to go."

They was an all pause "So did they pick the kids out Radom?" Asked Batgirl

"Did Dick ever tell you about the children show..."

"Were the children on the circus show off their skills, no adults involved." said Kid flash at once "It an annual thing, no matter were they were, they did one"

"Rumours has it the owls watched the performance and pick an skilled performer to one day join them."

...

Back in the Batcave Starfire, Kid flash and Batgirl told the other what they had learn.

"He was just retelling rumours." said Cyborg after listening

"Always listen to rumours carefully, sometimes there is truth in them" said Batman

"I don't see how that helps with finding Robin." said Beast Boy, more to himself.

...

"He's not here." said Raven, she spend the whole day searching for Robin in Metropolis, but he wasn't there.

"There was little chance that he was." said Superman "But we have to check."

"So now what?" Asked Raven. If Robin wasn't in Gotham, and wasn't in Metropolis were was he? He had to be somewhere.

"We'll head back to Gotham. Makes plans for tomorrow."

They headed back to Gotham in an bio ship borrow from Martian Manhunter. Raven fallen asleep. Mentally searching for Robin was very draining. She hadn't fallen asleep long before she was woken up by Superman "You were talking in your sleep." he explain

"I was?" Question Raven, as far as she knew she didn't talk in her sleep.

"You said fifty three times Seven is three hundred and seventy one."

"Is it?" Asked Raven wondering why she would say something like that. She never really study Maths in any depths.

"Robin, is brilliant at Maths." explain Superman. "He's like an human calculator. One way he was taught he keep people out of his mind is with numbers... You may just of find him."

Raven eye widen, it was possible, they were linked. And her mind had been searching for Robin for hours. "Were are we?"

"Currently above Bludheaven."said Superman. "We are contacting the Batcave right now."
