I just want to note: I do not know what happens to Terra on the TV show, but I liked her, so I will use her as I see fit.. she may act a little differnt then TV though.

Takes place 2 days after prolog.

He liked going out at night.

He loved the night air. The sounds of the sleeply city below him.

wait....what sounds. Robin frowned to himself. Why is the city so quiet?

Robin jumped down from building to building, using his grappling hook when he needed to. StarFire would freak if she knew I was out this late by myself. Robin thought to himself. She acts like she's my mother sometimes.

The other Titans were asleep, except of course, maybe Raven. Who knew how late she stayed up, the way she locked herself in her room every night.

Robin landed on the top of a building, and paused for a second. He just stayed there just for a second, and listioned.

He heard nothing.

Robin started to jump from building to building again, and then stopped again to listion.

Still nothing, no sirens..

No fires.

Not one thing.

Robin shook his head. I dont get it. Nothing, just silence, have we really been doing that good of a job?

He wanted to believe that he and the rest of the Titans really HAD been doing that good of a job.

But his experience with his mentor, Batman, told him that was a fool's wish.

Come to think of it, it has been like this for a couple of days now, there just seems to be less crime,especially at night.. Robin leapt off the building he was on, fired his grappling hook, and swung around towards the Titan's tower. I guess I should just go back earlier then I usually do.

It's probably just a low in the action, the city can't have a crime wave ALL the time.It will heat up again.

( Nearby....................)

Man, things are quiet now. At least compared to when I first got here. The man swung on the end of what looked like a long white rope. Guess the thugs are scared of the dark now because of me. He looped around a building and let go of the rope in his hand, it set him flying towards another building. A rope appeared from seemingly no where, and it attached itself to the building the man was headed towards, he grabed onto it.

The man sighed as he went swinging towards another building. Nothing to do....

The man pulled hard on the rope, shortening the amount of it, and it set him upwards, he let go and neatly landed on a roof top.

Gotta be some action around here, I dont think I could have made that much of a differnce in the cities crime rate in such a sort amount of time by myself

The man started to get ready to jump to another roof, when he suddenly stopped, and looked to his right.

In the distance, a shadowy figure lept for building to building.

Beneath his mask, he grinned ALRIGHT! Hero, this could be you lucky day,...night,...whatever He lept off the roof toward the person he saw in the distance, Better tail his guy so I can figure out what he's up to first, before I bust him

..........................................................................

Robin started to jump from building to building slightly faster.

He had a feeling. He had picked up over the years of training, and being ambushed, trapped, and captured. It was this feeling that told him he was being followed.

But his trained ears picked up no sound of feet.

His trained eyes saw no shadows flickering in the darkness behind him.

He just had a feeling. It made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

He narrowed his eyes. Alright, maybe I'm getting paranoid like the Bat, but if I am being followed, better safe then sorry.

In mid jump he quickly glanced to his right, next time he laned, he made a powerful leap to the right, and through the open window of an old storage warehouse.

.........................................................................

This guy is fast. The man was having some trouble keep up with the figure he was tailing. Man, I'm really sure I haven't made a sound or anything, but I think this guy knows I am here. The man was not far behind the figure, but had so far not gotten a good look at the person at all. He seemed to sense my approach, great, that means this guy could be packing some powers of his own.

The figure seem to speed up with his building jumping even more, the man had to go faster to keep up, but it was dificult to do so with risking being seen.

If this keeps up, he's gonna see me, I'd better..HEY!

The figure made a side jump to the right, into an open window.

O, SHIT!! Great, now I know HE knows I have been following him, why else would he do that? So much for tailing him to the scene of the crime

The man shot out a white rope from his had, and swung into the window where the figure had gone, Hero, your lucky day this is NOT!

.........................................................................

Robin landed hard on the floor of the warehouse, and got under cover immediately.

He waited, and listioned.

Not a damn thing.

Robin let out a sigh. I AM getting paranoid like the Bat!

Robin was about to leave his hiding place when he saw something. He paused, and looked up behind him, and on one of the wooden beams of the building was a figure of a man squatting down with his hands in front of his feet.

"So you DID know I was following you, good job, pal.Not a lot of crooks can tell when I'm tailing them."

The boy wonder simply stared back, he couldn't get a good look at the man, and from what he can tell,the man couldn't see him that well either.

The man had called him a crook, and Robin knew that his masked face and costume was a little more famous then THAT. That ment the man could see him,but only his silhouette, not his face.

"I'm no crook, who are you?" Maybe it was better to try to reason with the guy before it went to a fight, he didn't know who or what he was dealing with.

"I'm not a crook." The voice imitated Robin,"Thats what they all say."

The man lept down from his perch onto a wall, and in a creepy way that made Robin's eye widen, crawled down it towards him.

As the man got closer to Robin's postion on the floor, Robin got himself ready for a fight.

Then the man jumped of the wall and into the light, and Robin got a good look at his opponent, and his opponent got a good look at him.

...........................................................................

" Well I'll be"

He stood in front of Robin, his arms crossed over his chest. "The Boy Wonder himself." He said, looking at Robin. His voice seemed to hold a great deal of amusement in it.

"The Battyman's own side kick, The Sparrow."

Robin sneered at Spider-Man,not paying attention to his joke about his name, (or least keeping any reaction about it from his face).

"At least I'm KNOWN as a superhero, and not a criminal pretending to be one." Robin snarled.

"Well, arn't we a ray of sunshine tonight." Spider-man replyed,"Look, Wonder bread, you shouldn't believe everything you read in the news, or see on TV. Too much TV can rot whats left of your brain, kid."

Robin decided now would be a good time to defend his pride."Who are you calling kid? You can't be more then one year older then me." Beneath his cape, he reached into his belt and got a stun pellets ready. The Daily Bugle has had a ton of articles on this guy. Just a freak in a costume, giving the real super heros a bad name. Better bag his ass for the cops.

Keep him busy, He thought. keep him talking. "What are you doing here, anyway? This isn't New York, your a long way away from home, the Titans don't like your kind around here." Robin now had the pellets in his hand, and was just waiting for the right time to throw them. We will see how many smart-ass jokes he makes with a face full of stun gas.

"OOOOOoooooooooo!Look everyone, he's trying to act like a grown up! Isn't that sweet?" Spider-Man jeered. Man, I'm wasting my time with this guy, I have better things to do then...!Spider-sense!

A hand full of stun pellets hit the spot where Spider-Man had been a second before, The Web Head had done a back flip onto a stack of old crates, and with one last remark," Missed me!" shot a web out the open window he and Robin had come in through, and with a quick tug, went out into the night.

Robin didn't waste any time, he jumped off a wall onto the same crates Spider-Man had jumped onto, then he too lept out the window No way I'm letting this guy get away, he's a wanted super criminal. He couldn't of gotten very..... with a thump he landed on the roof outside. far....

Nothing.

His trained ears picked up no sound of feet.

His trained eyes picked up no shadows around him.

Nothing but the light of the moon.

Robin nearly screamed at his own incompetence. DAMNIT, no one pulls a fade that fast he whipped around, his eyes searching for any sign of movement. ...................No one but me..

A block or so away, the silhouette of Spider-Man clung to the side of a building. The web slinger chuckled. I still got it,he has no clue where I am, which is good, because the last thing I need is some punk kid who thinks he can take me down. The Wall crawler let go, and let himself fall for a little bit before shooting out a web, and swinging away. The Score so far:The Spider, one,The Pigeon, ZIP!

............................................................

(The next day......)

"Come Robin, perhaps some earthing junk food will cheer you up!" StarFire sat in one of the chairs seated at a round table in the Titans favorite pizza restaurant. They were outside on the balcony that over looked the city street. She sat next to Robin, who apparently found the table VERY intresting. NO ONE PULLS A FADE THAT FAST! On the other side of Robin was Beast Boy, then Raven, Terra, Speedy, Impluse (Kid Flash, what ever you call him) and finally Cyborg.

" Yeah Robin, you haven't eaten anything all day!" That was Beast Boy in his usual chipper mood.

" At least try the pizza when it comes!, speaking of which, why the heck is it taking so long?"

" Impluse, its only been like 2 minutes" Speedy spoke up, taking a slip from his drink.

" Yeah, thats what I am talking about! How long does it take to cook already?"

Terra banged her head on the table, "Alright, who let him have the soda with caffeine and sugar in it?"

All heads turned to look at StarFire. "............. what is wrong with a sugar sweet beverage?"

"yeah,whatswrongwiththatRobinwhatsthedealwiththetableyou.......................can I have another?"

Terra seemed to shrink down in her seat. "I have a headache...."

Cyborg cleared his throat, and changed the subject. "We got the kind of pizza you like!"

The others, except Raven, who was reading, nodded, and waited for a response from Robin.

Nothing. Robin kept staring at the table.He seemed to be in deep thought about something.... NO ONE BUT ME! StarFire,Speedy, Terra,BeastBoy and Cyborg sweatdropped. Impluse simply fidgeted in his seat

Cyborg let a sigh, "Dude, I don't get it, he's been like that all day, not talking or eating. The only thing I'v seen him do today is go to the Titan gym and punch the stuffing out of the punching bag. He was hitting so hard you would think that it insulted him or something."

Speedy nodded, " I came down into the gym this morning to try to get him to spar with me, that usally gets his mind off things, but he didn't even respond to me."

MY NAME IS NOT SPARROW! I'LL SQUASH THAT DAMN BUG MAN NEXT TIME I SEE HIM! Robin's mind screamed.

"Yeah, I wonder whats eating him?" BeastBoy said. " SOMETHINGS EATING ROBIN?!" StarFire screeched, causing the others to wince and cover their ears, and people in the restaurant to turn their heads........Terra ducked further down into her seat.

............................................................

I don't care what ANYONE says, New York has the best pizza, this place's pie tastes like crud.MJ says its the cheese they use on it, I don't know, I think its the water that goes into the doe Peter Parker sat alone at small talbe in the coner of the pizza place. He was outside on the balcony, eating a couple of slices of pepperoni and mushroom pizza.( My Favorite!)

Oh,well, I really shouldn't complain, I got to leave New York for a bit and see another city...Even if it is on business, got to take some pictures for J.J so the Bugle can do that article on comparing this city's super human activity to New Yorks. He smiled, I gotta say, there was not much crime after I got into town. Maybe being double teamed by both Spider-Man and the Teen Twerps was more then what the thugs in the city could handle. He took a bite out of his slice, which reminds me, they are going to be at the party to celebrate the discovery of that emerald whats his face found while in south america

He took a sip from his drink, I'm just lucky I convinced Aunt May to let me go. Becides, I'm not alone here, some of the other older photographers are here too. J.J said the only reason he was giving me this assingment was so that I could learn from the other photographers on how to take pictures on something other then Spider-Man.

He leaned back in his chair and smiled. I need this little break,no Doc Oct. No Vulture, nothing but your run-of-the-mill idiot bad guys. He took another sip from his drink and smiled even more. I could get used to this. A shriek came up from the other side of the restaurant, Peter looked up towards the cry and choked on his food.

...........................................................

"StarFire, what BeastBoy said was a figure of speach." Raven said in her monotone voice without looking up from her book.

StareFire stared at Raven for a second, then smiled. "oh,um of course, Raven."

"Hey,Hey, pizzas here!" Cyborg was nearly on the edge of his seat as three waiters placed five full pies on the table....

"Cyborg, how many did you order?" Speedy said.

" Only eight pies!" He was already stuffing his face with the food. "Thats only sixty four silces! I figured twenty for me, fortyfour for the rest of you!"

The others Titans sweatdropped,execpt Robin, he had not even noticed the arrival of the food.

The Titans dove in, while StarFire took the top off of the mustard bottle, and dumped about a quater of it on her slice.

BeastBoy stared at her. " Ok, there is no way you are going to do what I think you are going to do with tha..."

"yeah, she did." Speedy finished for him, as StarFire ate the whole mustard covered slice.

"Star, you do know that stuff is not a drink, right?"StarFire didn't relpy as she happily poured another glob of mustard on her next slice.

BeastBoy sighed and looked over at Cyborg and Impluse, they were both downing the pizza slices at an increasing fast rate. oh man! If I want my fair share of the slices, I got to get to work! He took half of a pie onto his and started eating, spraying food everywhere as he tried to match this companions pace.

A good deal of that food was landing not only on Raven's robe, but on her book as well. For the first time since the Titans had sat down at the table, Raven looked up from her book.

"BeastBoy." She said.

" mmmmmMMMMMM?" BeastBoy looked up from his plate, his face covered in sauce.

"Would you be so kind," Raven said, speaking like she was talking to a child. " to confine your eating to a more civilized level?"

BeastBoy shallowed the food he had in his mouth. " um..sure, sorry."

Raven simply narrowed her eyes at him before returning to her book.

creepy,creepy,creepy. BeastBoy thought to himself, eyeing Raven warily as he went back to eating.

"Robin?" StarFire placed a plate with a slice on it in front of the boy wonder.He didn't look up. "Robin." She said again, this time with a little more force. Still, nothing. " ROBIN!"Robin was jerked away from his thoughts of slamming Spider-Man's face into the pavment, and looked up to meet StarFire's emerald eyes. For the first time that day, thought about something else other then the web slinger.

"oh, um...what is it, Star?" He said, some nervousness underneath his voice, more then likely due to the fact that her face was very close to his.

Much to his relief, she backed her face away now that she had his attention. " Why are you do distant Robin? Is some troubling your mind? If so, is there any way I can help?"

Think fast. Robin thought. Do I really want to tell her that I picked a fight with a well known super criminal last night by myself? When, at least in HER mind, I was supposed to be in bed! I really don't want her upset because I snuck off by myself.

" No, I'm fine, just tired. I was up late last night" True enough, he had not gone to bed until Four A.M. It was the truth, just not the whole truth.

............................................................

Figures, my luck never changes. He just had to be here, didn't he? Peter Parker was looking over at the Titan's table. I guess I really shouldn't worry, Boy Wonder bread dosn't know what I look like.

I gather that those are the other Titans.... Oh bother, what a crack group of crime fighters they are, ladies and gentlemen.

( How did you like it? like I said before, first story ever! I know I kinda said there would be a Robin Vs. SpiderMan thing going this chapter. There was some of it, but not a lot.

Next Chapter... The Titans have a little discussion about their Leader, and decide that the best thing to do is to look for the cause of Robin's strange behavior.
