Chapter 3 – Blast from the Past

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne, for having us," Cyborg said, reaching over the arm of his chair to shake Bruce's hand. "We're the Teen Titans, as you know. I'm Cyborg, the coolest guy around. This is Beast Boy...."

"Hey there."

"And Raven...."

"Hello."

"Starfire...." Starfire flew out of her seat, much to Bruce's surprise. She grabbed his hand and shook it psychotically.

"Greetings, benefactor! Thank you so much for offering to help us, it means very much to us and I can not express my gratitude...."

"And this is Robin," Cyborg finished, pulling Starfire back to her seat next to Robin. Robin remained silent until Cyborg elbowed him painfully in the ribs.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne," he said, sullenly. Bruce smiled.

"Call me Bruce, please." Their gaze locked, and this time, Raven noticed the familiar vibe between them. But her attention was redirected when Bruce suggested they got down to business.

"As I'm sure Beast Boy told you, we're here because we're looking to find two villains by the names of Terra and Terran," Cyborg began, dominating the conversation. "Apparently you know where they are. We'd like to know also."

"I'd be happy to help," Bruce said, pushing his fingers together to form a triangle. "However, I'd like a fair trade."

"What are you suggesting?" Robin interrupted abruptly, his heart pounding. What was Bruce up to now?

"A partnership, Robin. Seeing as I am linked to these two, I'd like to be updated on this, let's say, mission of yours. We will be connected by telecom, and I'd like to be updated frequently on everything that happens."

"Not a problem," Cyborg said. "It'd be our pleasure."

"Wait a second," Robin interrupted again. Everyone looked at him, a smirk playing upon Bruce's face. He was doing this on purpose, and it infuriated Robin. "Let's not, uh, rush into this, Titans. Excuse me, Bruce, but do you mind if I take a private moment with my team?" The smile grew wider.

"Of course not, Robin. Take all the time you like. I'll be in the other room." The man stood up, gave a nod, and left the room in long strides. Inwardly, Robin sighed, relieved.

"What is wrong with you, dude?" Beast Boy asked. "You wanted Terra and Terran, this guy can serve them up to you on a golden platter, and you don't want to rush into this? What is your problem?" Robin crossed his arms, sending off the message, 'Don't mess with me'.

"Yes, Robin," Starfire spoke up tentatively. "You do not seem to be as excited for this lead as you were before. Has something changed?"

"Err, no, it's just, we don't know this guy," Robin said quickly. "How can we trust him if we don't know him? I mean, how could he have put the trackers on Terra and Terran in the first place? He'd have to have a connection with them. I want to find them, believe me, but think about what Cyborg said yesterday. This could be a trap. He tells us where to go, and it's like a gigantic beat up the Titans party."

"So we'll go, but we'll be on our guard," Beast Boy said. "Come on, I finally did something right for once, don't blow my moment!"

"We'll go, I just don't think we should keep in contact with this guy," Robin said.

"We're not going to get the information if we don't establish a partnership," Raven said pointedly. "I'm not a big fan of trust, especially after the Terra incident. I think we should just go home and if the twins are still a problem then we'll deal with them when they become one. Jump City still has problems. If this guy isn't credible and we leave the city just to go on some wild goose chase that will be a disaster."

"Come on, Rae!" Beast Boy said, desperate. "Stick up for me!" Raven shook her head.

"Congratulations on finding the lead, really. But if this leads to trouble, your big moment will be busted." Realizing the truth in her statement, Beast Boy's head drooped.

"I suggest that we go home and after consuming mass amounts of junk food we should nap on it," Starfire said after a pause.

"You mean think about it overnight? That could work," Cyborg said. "How about it, gang?"

"Sounds good," Robin said. Anything to get out of this place, he thought. The anticipation of seeing it all again was gone, and he just couldn't stand being surrounded by reminders of his past anymore. "Bruce?" The tall man entered the room once more.

"Have you reached your decision?" he asked.

"Not quite. We've decided to sleep on it," Robin said, his gaze daring Bruce to object. But he simply smiled.

"Excellent idea. I'll have Alfred fetch your car and bring it around the front so you won't have so far to walk." Bruce left the room as quickly as he had entered.

"He took that....well...." Beast Boy said, surprised. "I thought he'd throw a tantrum or something. I would."

"Yeah, well, BB, that is a refined and rich businessman. You're....you." Cyborg laughed at his own joke as Beast Boy fumed. This was interrupted by a mechanical coughing sound and a bang, and followed by a hissing noise. A slightly dirty Alfred entered the room shortly after.

"I'm afraid, Master Robin, that your mode of transportation is indisposed." Robin cringed, but more because of Alfred calling him Master Robin once more than the T Car exploding. Cyborg, however, was freaking out.

"My baby?!?! My baby's indisposed?!?! What does that mean?!?! Starfire, this is all because you pressed those buttons, I'm going to KILL you!" Starfire squeaked, unsure of Cyborg's intention behind the death threat. She jumped behind Robin and held up his cape to shield her.

"This poses a problem," Bruce said, entering the room once more. "I could call my mechanic, but it's after hours and he wouldn't be able to get here till morning. You're welcome to stay here, but I don't know how comfortable you would be with that." Another meaningful glance was thrown at Robin, which he returned. He knew they had no choice. The Titans would have to stay. Robin ran a hand through his spiky jet-black hair and sighed in defeat.

"We have no other choice. Thank you for the offer, we accept." The four other Titans gaped at their leader. What was with his indecision?

"I'll show you to your rooms," Alfred began, but Bruce cut him off.

"No, Alfred, I think I'll take them, thank you." And with that, Bruce headed towards the grand stairs, followed by the Teen Titans, all five of them unsure what sort of night they were in for.

End of capitulo tres! I think Bruce might have come a little out of character every now and then, but otherwise, I think it was okay.

So I updated TWICE today, be super grateful. It's only because Riles wouldn't stop bothering me, the annoying little....never mind. Haha, and Bruce doesn't even know that Starfire and Robin are going out yet, so hahahaha. I think that's in the next chapter when he finds out. Anyways, be grateful and worship me, and maybe, just maybe, I'll update tomorrow instead of making this chapter tomorrow's update. Cuz I can do that, you know. Mwahahaha!

Sneak Peak: Bruce and Robin get some one-on-one time that Raven accidentally overhears.

Reviews are like hugs, I can't get enough! Yeah...that was really cool...
