Robin, the Boy Wonder, watched his partner as they flew through Gotham City. Whenever he saw Bruce don the costume, it was like seeing a phoenix get reborn. He was almost a different person.

But tonight, Bruce was way too quiet as they did their usual dance of swinging and landing and swinging off again. Every time they landed and perched for just a moment, he would get this quiet intensity about himself that Robin found too intimidating to interrupt. Batman would take his time before launching off again, and it seemed like he was lost in a day-dream.

Of course, Robin would know all about day-dreaming. Even though school was out for the weekend, it was only two days ago he had to sit in Math class.

After a long trip, they landed on top of a billboard. "Gotham City: A Fun Place To Live And Work!" Robin wouldn't have laughed, except that the billboard had some quite visible scorch marks on it, which nicely accented the all-too-decorative bullet holes.

As it was, he chuckled to himself as they landed, instantly snapping Batman out of his trance.

"What? What is it? Robin?"

"Nothing. You just sorta dozed off, there."

"Right. Well, that's the place."

He motioned towards the huge building that stood on the opposite side of the street. They were quite nearly at street level, and being this low in costume made Robin slightly uncomfortable. He noticed the bottom three levels of the building was a parking garage.

He looked inquisitively at his mentor, who just shook his head and lead the way inside.
