A/N: I've touched on Tin Man before, but not this moment.
We meet again
The man was staring at him with blank intensity and wild eyes, and Robo couldn't move as a memory overtook him...
"Malloy's rule number one: there is NOTHING, nothing better than being a cop."
...and he was still standing there in the warehouse in that silver jacket, with an uncharacteristically blank look on his face. "Malloy?" The name had left his lips before he'd even realized he had spoken, almost too stunned to register what happened next.
The familiar man's eyes started to blink and he twitched once, twice, and then the blank look returned and he pointed a weapon at the ceiling, launching something at it, and then walked away.
Robo had just enough time to tag him before the grenade went off and the building blew up. Answers would have to wait. For now.
