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 note's for Alexnandru Van Gordon. You don't know how close you are ; ). Oh, and Smile7499, see the end of the chapter ; ). Thanks to everyone who reviewed. and ShadowSage2, 'corse I will!

Anyway, onwards!

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

CHAPTER THREE

Robin typed the security code into the console. "Top floor." He said to Batman before the screen turned off. He walked back to the kitchen, sat back down and picked up his glass. A few minutes later, the door opened. Everyone, except Robin, looked up expectantly. They we're not dissapointed.

"Welcome to our home!" Starfire called from the kitchen. She flew over to where Batman stood. "I am Starfire." She said, pointing to herself. "This is Raven." She pointed over to where Raven stood.

"Erm, Hi." Was all Raven said. Batman nodded his greeting at her.

"And this is Cyborg," She pointed again and Cyborg raised his had in a 'hello' guesture. "and this is Beastboy." she continued, pointing at Beastboy, who was just staring. Cyborg nudged him in the ribs, jolting him slightly.

"Hey!" Beastboy exclaimed, looking at Cyborg. Cyborg widened his eyes at Beatboy and jerked his head slightly towards their visitor. "Oh, hi. Sorry, I, erm. Hi."

Batman nodded again. "Hi." Was all he managed to say before Starfire continued.

"Would you like some breakfast. We have pleanty for everyone. We have eggs, pancakes, saus..."

"No thanks." Batman cut-in, holding his hand up slightly to stop her mid-sentence. "I'm not hungry."

Raven suppresed a slight snigger at the fact the Robin had used those exact same words, and made the exact same gesture, not but ten minuets ago. 'Like teacher, like apprentice.' She thought to herself.

"It's good to meet you all." Batman continued. "Where's Robin?" He asked, not seeing him among the Titans.

"Oh, he's," Cyborg turned to face Robin. Or at least, where Robin had been sitting. During the commotion of Batman entering the room, no-one had noticed that Robin was now slumped over the counter, sound asleep. "Oh." Cyborg said.

Batman walked over to Robin. He stood there for a few minutes, just looking at him, before poking his in the shoulder. When he didn't wake, he poked him again, this time a little harder.

"Cut it out, BB." Robin mumbled, not moving or opening his eyes. Batman sighed and poked him even harder.

"What!" Robin said, sitting up. "Oh." He said when he realised he was looking into the face of his mentor. "Hi."

"So this is 'fine'?" Batman asked. Robin didn't answer. He just bit his bottom lip and looked down at the floor. His expression reminded Raven of a naughty school boy who'd just been caught doing something he shouldn't be. Batman lifted Robin's face up by his chin to look at him properly. "Yep." He said. "This is really 'fine'."

"Look, don't start. OK?" Robin said, batting Batman's hand away lightly. He stood up and walked away a little. He turned back to face the others. "I'm fine. OK. I'm just tired." Batman just grunted. "Don't do that." Robin said, shaking his head slightly.

"Do what?" Batman asked. The other Teen's watched the two intently.

"That grunt."

"I grunt?" Batman asked.

"Yes, you always do. It...never mind. That's not the point. The point is Two-Face is back and we've gotta find him and fix this." He walked over to the window and looked out over the city. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the cool glass.

Batman turned to face the Titans. "Do you have a lab?" He asked.

"Sure." Cyborg answered. "On the fouth floor."

Batman nodded. "Okay. Robin and I'll go there, we need to run a few tests. I need you to run a check of you're database. Any activity that looks like it could be related to the bank heist or that generally fits Two-Face's patterns, that's what you're after." He looked at Cyborg. "If I give you a few codes do you think you can uplink to my database? I may have some more information that could help you."

Cyborg nodded. "Sure. I can give it a whirl."

"Okay." He turned to face Robin. "Come on." He called over to him. "We need to have a little talk." He said, leaving the room.

Robin followed. "Need to have a little talk." Him mimiked under his breath. "I'll see you later." He said to the Titans. "And thanks for breakfast." With that he left.

"Dude!" Beatboy exclaimed. "Batman is here! Batman is actually in Titan's Tower!"

"Yeah." Cyborg said, shovelling a fork full of eggs into his mouth. "How cool is that!"

"He's just a person." Raven said, sitting down to her breakfast. "Just like you, or I, or Robin."

"Yeah, but he's Batman!" Beastboy said. "You know. Batman! Defender of Gotham City. The Dark Knight. Slayer of The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, The..."

"You know Robin did all those things too, don't you?" Raven interupted.

Beastboy just shrugged. "Still Batman." He mumbled. "Still really cool."

Raven pretended to not hear him and carried on with her breakfast.

Cyborg put down his knife and fork. "Thanks girls, that was great." He carried his plate over to the sink. "I'm gonna get started on this search. And I nominate Beastboy for dishes!" He said, walking over to the console and switching on the computer.

"Hey!" Beastboy creid. But it was too late. Both Starfire and Raven had there hands in the air, seconding and thriding Cyborg's suggestion. "Damn." Beastboy muttered before making his way over to the sink.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Batman and Robin had been in the lab for at least an hour. Batman reckoned it was probably quite a lot longer. They'd drawn some blood and Batman had done a few tests. Quite a few, actually. He was still in the process of analizing at the slides. Robin had fallen asleep about forty-five minuets ago on the small medi-bed in the corner. Batman had let him sleep. The kid looked beat. It was obvious he was ill, but he'd still insisted he was fine, even in the lab. Batman smiled to himself. He'd never notice before how stuborn Robin was, or how much of himself he saw in the boy. He returned to his work and let Robin sleep.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Robin woke up with a start. He'd been dreaming. About his parents. He hadn't dreamed about them in a while.

"Hey," Batman said looking at him from his seat at the computer. "You OK?" He asked.

"Yeah." Robin said, sitting up. "Sorry, I guess I was more tired than I though." He said, rubbing his face.

"It's OK." Batman said, returning to the computer. "You looked like you could do with the rest." Robin let out a small laugh. "I got the results." Batman said, turning back to face the computer.

"And?" Robin asked, standing up and walking over to where Batman was sitting. He fet a little better. his stomach didn't hurt anymore and his headache had subsided a little. Batman didn't answer. He just closed his eyes. "It's back, isn't it." Robin said it more than asked it.

Batman nodded. "It's mutated a little from last time, but basically, yeah." He said. He looked at Robin. "And the antidote's uneffective on it."

Robin sat down on the chair next to Batman. He went to speak, but changed his mind. So Batman carried on. "There was a minute amount of the chemical compound left in your blood stream. Whatever that guy did re-activated it. However, where it's replicated itself, it's mutated and..." He drifed off and looked at Robin.

"And now we've gotta figure it all out." Robin said, staring at the floor. "All over again." He stood and headed towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" Batman asked.

"To tell the others." Robin said. "They're gonna find out soon anyway, so." He shrugged.

"I'll come with you." Batman said, standing.

Robin nodded. "Thanks."

TBC...

So what IS wrong with Robin? What has Two-Face done to the Boy-Wonder? Well, I think you can kinda guess by now...but why? What is he after? Stay tuned for another 'exciting' chapter of...A TALE OF TWO CITIES!

PS - For Smile7499 - Yes, In the Film it is Richard Grayson, and Two-Face does kill his parents. However, in the comic, Dick Grayson's parent's were killed buy some mobster's who were after money off the circus or something, It was Tim Drake's parent's who were killed by Two-Face. In the movie, Robin is Dick Grayson, and his parents are killed by Two-Face. As Dick Grayson is the more famous Robin, the movie decided to use him, but his parents death (and him joining Batman) didn't tie in with the plot, so they swapped that little bit with Tim Drake's parents. That's what I've done. Although my was accidental 'cus I'm just an idiot! Hope that kinda clears it up for everyone! Sorry for the confussion!
