DISCALIMER: I own nothing. Nada. Not The Teen Titans, not Batman. None of it's mine except the story line, and I'm not making any money from this, it's all for fun...(I think that's everything...).

SUMMARY: When an old enemy of Robin's comes to town, so does Batman. The Titans learn of Robin's past, and much more... but what about his future?

NOTE: This is my first EVER fanfiction, so go easy on me... I'm writing it more for myself really. I've just had this plot going round and round in my head so I figure writing it down might help : ). It's the UBER Robin fic, so if you don't like Robin, you might wanna stop reading here...You have been warned. Oh, and I did read Teen Titans once upon a time, but I've forgotten the ins-and-outs, so this info is based on the cartoon and the Batman films. And I'm making a lot of it up too so don't grill me for it, pls! LOL! Okey Dokey. I'm done. Here we go,

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

CHAPTER ONE

"Dude! You so cheated!"

"I did NOT cheat!"

"I saw you, Dude! You..."

"You callin' me a liar, BB?"

"Would you two cut it out!" Robin shouted over the arguing pair. They had been playing on BeastBoy's newset purchase for the GameStation, 'Zombie Ninja's III'. After Cyborg had won for the umpteenth time in a row, BeastBoy had accused him of cheating. They'd been argueing ever since. "Cyborg didn't cheat, BeastBoy." He said, looking up from the magazine he'd been trying to read. "You just suck."

"I do NOT suck!" BeastBoy cried, throwing his controller on the floor. "Cy Chea..."

"I DID NOT CHEAT!"

Before Robin could interupt the once again arguing pair, the screen flickered from the GameStation to a map of the city. A red dot blinked in the Northern Quarter. "We got trouble." He said.

"Who is it?" Cyborg asked, joining Robin where he was now standing at the console as Raven flew in from her room.

"He's not in the database." Robin said, doing a quick check.

"Must be someone new." BeastBoy said, joining the other three.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Raven muttered to herself.

"Hey!" BeastBoy said, looking hurt.

"He's hitting the banks in the Norther Quarter." Robin said, ignoring the two.

"Friends," StarFire said as she entered the room. "We have trouble?"

"Northern Quarter." Robin said, not looking at her. "Titan's, go!"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Sorry." Robin said to the masked guy as he exited the bank. "Bank's not taking withdrawals today." And with that, he kicked him square in the chest, sending him flying into the closed bank doors. The bag of money he'd been carring would have gone smashing through the window had Raven not caught it using her powers.

The masked man stood, coughing a little as he tried to catch his breath. "Woh, take it easy. I'm just doin' my job, y'know?"

"For whom do you work?" StarFire asked, her StarBolts ready to fire should he try to run.

The masked man just laughed and looked at Robin. For the first time Robin noticed the design on the mans mask. The right half was black, while the left was a purple, burgurndy type colour. "Answer the question!" he said

"Why?" The masked guy said, laughing again. "When you already know."

Before anyone could stop him, Robin had kicked the guy in the stomach, knocking him over again. He knelt either side of his chest and grabed his collar. "He's dead!" Robin shouted, shaking the guy. The masked man just kept laughing.

"Ermm...Robin?" BeastBoy asked, quietly.

"Who sent you!" Robin shouted again, ignoring BeastBoy. This time he punched the Masked man in the face.

The Man stopped laughing. He just stared at Robin through the mask. "You know, Robin. You already know." He said, calmly.

"He's dead!" Robin practically screamed, still holding the guy's collar.

"No, he's not." The man said, shaking his head. "And he sent you a little gift." The Masked man managed to pull something out of his pocket without Robin, or and of the other stunned Titans, noticing. "He said to say 'Hi' to your Mom and Dad for him." With that, he completely removed the small orb like device from his pocket and activated it. There was a moments laughter, a bright flash, then, nothing. Silence.

"Robin!" StarFire shouted, making her way forward. A second before she could get there, Robin stood and turned to face them.

"He's, ermm," He looked down at the floor. "He's dead." He said, tonelessly.

"He is dead?" StarFire asked, looking somewhere between confussed and horrified.

"Man, what was that about?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah, who sent him?" Raven asked, before Robin could answer the previous question.

Robin answered neither question. He just walked off.

"Dude!" BeastBoy called after him. "Where are you going?"

"To call Batman." Robin called back, without turning to face them.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"O...Kay" BeastBoy said, turning to face the other Titans. "Anyone care to guess what the hell's goin' on? Masks, parents and Batman!"

Cyborg shook his head. "I dunno, Man. I ain't never seen him that worked up before. "

"We can try and guess what's going on all day." Raven said. "Or we can go back to the Tower and find out."

"I agree with Raven." Starfire said, quickly looking at the dead guy, then back to her friends. "If something has gotten Robin this angry, as his friends we must find out what it is and rectify the situation."

And with that, they headed home.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"And you're sure?" Batman asked, looking down into the room from the big screen.

"Yes." Robin said. He looked up at the screen. "Look. Don't worry. I'm OK. I don't think he did anythi..."

"If he had done anything, you wouldn't know yet anyway."

"Batman, trust me. Just once, can you trust me?" Robin said.

He was quiet for a few minuets. "I don't trust, Robin. You should know that." He replied, smiling a little. "I'm coming over. Gotham's pretty quiet at the minute. I can ask the Justice League to keep an eye..."

"No! Honestly. I'm OK." Robin interupted, raising his voice slightly. He heard the doors open, the Titans come in. He ignored them. "it's just." He sighed. "How can he be alive?"

"I don't know, Robin. I don't know." Batman said, keeping his voice even. "And I'm still coming." He continued before Robin could say anything. "What if it's like last time he showed up? What then?"

"Well what if it is, and you can't figure it out this time. What then, huh? He didn't do anything. I'm fine!"

"That is the end of this conversation, Robin. I'm coming. I'll be there tomorrow."

"Batman, wait!" It was too late. He'd gone.

The room was silent for a while. The four Titans still standing by the door. Robin standing over the controller. Raven broke the silence. "So who was that guy?" She asked.

"He was just a goon." Robin said, quietly. Not turning around.

"You got pretty worked up for 'just a goon'." Cyborg said.

Robin sighed, and turned to face them. "You remember Two-Face?" He asked. They all murmered a 'yeah' in response. "Well, he's back."

TBC...

Ok, so Two-Face isn't the best to bring back. But I read one with The Joker, one with The Penguin, and I hate the Riddler...sorry. I'd like to point out (Thanks, Slade's Downfall!) that, although in the comics, it was TimDrake's parents who Two-Face killed, thanks to the movie "Batman Forever", I got confussed. I always think of Robin as Dick Grayson, so I'm not changing it. I know I should, and sorry if that'll confuse/annoy you, but hey. It was Two-Face's bomb that killed Dick Grayson's family in this story. I though I'd add this little note to avoid confussion.

So, should I carry on? What's up with Batman being so concerned...hmmmmmmm. Let me know what you think (big 'REVIEW' hint there for ya...)!.

Lataz,
