Robin raced over to the computer station to check out the meaning of the alarm. The other Titans gathered around to wait for his signal. "Just some, two-bit bank robbers…" Robin told them as he looked at the three men in ski masks. "I'll take care of this myself guys, it'll be no problem." He assured to their inquisitive looks. "I'll be back in half an hour," he said, but his friends needed no further prompting to be given a break for once and they returned to their activities.

Three minutes later he was racing towards the crime sight on his motorcycle. "This is great," he thought "a nice and easy way to take some of the edge of my morning."

He arrived at the bank only to find the hole in the wall but all the money was still there. "That's weird," he said "where the fuck did they go?" The answer to his question came in the form of a body falling from the sky.

The body of the robber, (Robin could tell due to the Ski mask in the middle of a warm spring day…) fell about three feet away from him, and judging by the sickening bounce, from about 100ft up. "This day just keeps getting better and better," he said as he looked up, and just in time as a figure plunged at him with a sword drawn, the sun behind him. Robin reacted on near instinct, pulling his staff from his belt while simultaneously moving out of the attacker's path. He swung his staff around in a guard position but had no time to rest as the attacker landed and then pivoted in Robin's direction for another strike. Robin brought his staff up for a block only to have it sliced clean in two by the razor sharp sword, Robin just barely managed to back up enough to take only a shallow six inch long cut along his chest. The man was unrelenting; he charged straight for Robin again swung his sword with a myriad of different styles and moves. Robin did his best to bob and weave around and though the strikes but after about ten solid minuets of Robin being unable to draw his own staff, he was getting tired and had many cuts and gashes all over his body.

He finally put enough distance between him and his assailant to pull out his backup staff, and then he went on the offensive, trying everything he knew to take this guy down, "this guy is just too good he thought!" as Robin was matched blow for blow. After a passing strike the man evaded Robin's next attack and battered his staff out of his hand, making it bounce and roll about 15ft away. He then grabbed Robin by the shoulder and kicked him in the back of the knee, forcing him down before Robin could react.

This was it, he knew it, he messed up and now he was going to pay for it. The assassin wasted little time and as he brought his sword down to finish Robin off only to have a black shield block the strike. Simultaneously a starbolt and a sonic blast hit the man sending him flying in the other direction. "Thought you might need a little help." said Cyborg as he grabbed Robin's hand and helped him to his feet, "Yeah, thanks." said Robin as he turned to continue the fight, but the man was gone, just as fast as he had appeared.

"Robin!" exclaimed Starfire as Robin collapsed from exestuation, and in his last few moments of conciseness, looking into the worried expression in Starfire's eyes he said "How could this day get any worse?" It started to rain.
