(Thanks for the reviews - I know there are problems with my spelling. The major reason to this is that I'm dyslexic, which means I have a hard time finding the mistakes. Later I will go over my stories again and again to find them, but right now I don't have the time. Please bear over with me. - JoBO)

The same hair, the same face, the same body, the same mask and the same suit, but how could this happened? Was it one of Mad Mod's tricks or was one of Slade's robots? The other boy was also surprised. None of them said anything, but they just kept looking at each other. The situation was just too strange. Robin was the first one, who woke up. He dropped his hands and took a step towards the other boy.
"Who are you?"
The other one tried to hide his insecurity behind a smile.
"As you not know! I'm Robin – the real one!"
He took a Batarang from his belt and threw it against Robin, who to the other boy's surprised caught it with ease.
"Who are you?"
Before Robin could answer came a loud cry from the sky. They both looked up and saw the big orange bird, which was flying in their direction. It must least had been five meters from one wing tip to the other and was covered in a strange flame-like light.
With each wing stroke the bird came close with an incredible speed, and soon it began to dive down to the two boys. Just as they thought it was going to hit them it went up and flew so close over them, that they could count the golden feathers on its belly.
After passing them it turned around and dive one more time down, but this time it didn't go up. Robin felt it's claws on his shoulders and soon after he was lift up in the air. The bird lifted him up from the building and began to fly away with him. The wind resistance was enormous and forced him into unconsciousness.

The sun rose in the horizon and cast it's long sunbeams into the towers living room. Raven was sitting in her favorite place and was meditating, when Starfire came flying into the room with an anxious look on her face.
"Raven, have you seen Robin?"
"No."
She closed her eyes and tried to meditate again, but Starfire flew over to her.
"I'm worried about him. We had an argument last night and…"
Raven got interested and opened one of her eyes.
"You had a quarrel?"
"It was just a misunderstanding, but he left on the R-Cycle and hasn't come back?"
"Are you sure? It doesn't sound like Robin."
Starfire looked down on her hands.
"I know, but… but I was really hard on him…"
Raven could see the tears coming up in Starfire's eyes.
"…Raven, please help me find him!"
The alarm started, before Raven could answer her.

It was just a trick! Maybe it was one of the Joker's jokes? No, it couldn't have been him. The Joker wouldn't have done it. He was too afraid to do it, beside the impostor had been able to catch the Batarang with such an ease. It was almost like he really was him…
He shook his head in desperation.
No, don't think about that now…the assassination! It needed to be planed. He didn't need the money, but he really needed Red Claw's contacts to put the plan into action. The plan…his plan… He smiled just by thinking of it. Thinking on the rewards, but first he had to do the assassination.
He walked over to the computer and called the file up on the screen. He began to work, but he couldn't concentrate on the task. His thoughts kept coming back to that boy.
Maybe he really was him, but then…then it meant that the machine worked!
He walked over to the tape recorder and rewinded the surveillance tape to look it thought one more time. He found the spot, where the boy had appeared in the laboratory, and pressed down the freeze button. The picture froze. He then rewinded it one frame at the time until he came to the frame, where the boy had appeared.
There was no other explanation. The machine worked! If he just could get the settings, then…
He copied the frame over on the computer and began to zoom in on the machines keyboard. Slowly the computer zoomed closer and closer. He cursed himself that he hadn't bought a faster computer or least had updated the one he had. The computer finished and the picture came up on the screen. He studied it for a moment just to make sure he was right, but then he began to laugh loudly.
The machine worked! It finally worked after so long time. If only…well, you can't bring people back from the dead. Just think on the important things. The machine worked and he had the co-ordinates to a new world. Could the life get any better?
(From now on will the "new" Robin be called DarkRobin. – JoBO)
