Chapter 1:

Batman looked at Robin then immediately walked to the window and examined the damage. "Who was here? What happened here?"

Robin scratched the back of his head. "It was Ivy. She was outside my window. She fled toward the roof."

Batman crawled outside the window and pulled out his zip cord launcher. He pointed it toward the roof and pressed the trigger.

Poison Ivy stared across the roof toward Scarecrow. "Crane? What are you doing here?"

Scarecrow looked back at her and snickered. He pulled out a small vial and tapped it. "Research. And you?"

Poison Ivy smirked. "Revenge, what else?" she recoiled and rolled to mere inches of Crane's feet. She got up and started at where she had stood a moment ago. She saw Batman as he rose up. "Batman." She turned to Crane. "You idiot. You let Batman follow you!"

Scarecrow glared at her.

Batman walked forward. "I've asked Crane this and I'll ask you, Ivy. What are you doing here?"

Ivy stroked her hair. "Revenge on that twerp you called an apprentice. I left a little gift for him." She also held up a vial.

Scarecrow looked at it. "Great minds think alike after all."

Poison Ivy looked at him. "Shut up Crane. It's your fault he's here."

Scarecrow rolled his eyes; though the others couldn't see it because of the burlap sack on his head.

Poison Ivy raised her hand and snapped. Up from behind Batman rose several vine tentacles and raced toward him.

He jumped over them and poured a liquid on them.

Steam rose form the vines with a hiss as the acid burned through them. They withered and fell to the ground.

Batman jumped back onto the roof and ran toward Ivy and Crane.

Crane swung his scythe as Batman approached him.

Batman flipped over the Scythe and kicked the shaft, snapping it in two at the end nearest the blade, leaving no more than three inches of shaft to hold onto the blade with.

Crane dumped the shaft and swung at Bruce's head.

Batman ducked under it and came up and punched Crane hard in the gut. Crane doubled over grabbing his stomach. He fell to the ground and the vial fell out of his hand rolling to a stop merely inches away from the air conditioning fan.

Robin, now fully alert ran onto the roof with his bo staff in hand. He yelled toward Ivy. "What do you want with me? Why were you outside my room? Tell now or I'll kick your ass so hard you'll…"

Batman looked toward him cutting off his statement. "Stay out of this Robin, leave her to me."

Robin glared at him. "No! She did something to me. I want to know what! I can't just stand by and let her get away with it."

Raven, deep in her trance, suddenly woke up in a start. She fell to the ground and groaned as she got up. "Ow…." She paused as she felt the presence of an evil being nearby. She knew it was emanating from the roof. She ran to Robin's room to wake him only to find that his door was open and that the window was shattered. He was not in his room.

She quietly floated to the roof to see what the evil source was. She walked onto the roof and saw four figures on the roof. Two were fighting, one was on the ground groaning in pain, and the closet was Robin. She walked up to him and turned to him. "What's going on? I felt an evil presence on top of the roof? Who are they?" She indicated the three figures.

Robin looked at her and sighed. "I'll tell you later." He ran to aid Batman.

Poison Ivy had thrown a few kicks at Batman. Batman blocked the first one but got hit by the second one. With a grunt he backed up a step.

Robin tried for the element of surprise and swept his bo staff at her ankles.

Ivy nimbly evaded the tripping attempt and kicked Robin in the gut.

He stumbled backward but kept himself upright.

Batman threw a batarang at Ivy.

She stepped to the side and it flew past her but it exploded behind her releasing a cloud of weed killer, altered to cause nausea, around her. She coughed and her eyes watered as she stumbled around trying to wave the smoke away. She suddenly felt her feet quickly coming together as a rope tied them together. She cursed under her breath before she fell backwards onto her back. The impact knocked the vial out of her hand and it rolled into Crane's vial causing both to fall into the fan.

The fan cut both vials up shattering the glass and causing the odorless liquids to mix and fly through the vents and into the lungs of the other Titans while they slept.

Robin retracted his bo staff and walked over to Ivy. "Maybe you'll be more talkative now that you're tied up."

Batman rose after tying up Crane's arms and legs to keep him from running. "Robin, give it a rest." He indicated Crane. "He was the one I was after. Whatever he did to you was far worse."

Crane suddenly started chuckling. "This day couldn't get any better."

Batman picked him up by the backside of his collar. "What do you mean Crane?"

Crane kept silent.

Batman dragged him toward the air conditioner vent and opened up the grilled panel. He stuck Crane's head in the vent close enough to the fan to strike fear in even the Scarecrow. "I'm not going to ask again Crane." He could feel a slight trembling from Crane's body. "Alright, alright I'll tell you."

Batman dragged him away the fan and stared into his eyes. "I thought that would be your answer. Now talk."

Crane nodded nervously. "Ivy's and my potion fell into that air conditioning fan you so kindly stuck my head near. I don't know what will happen because I have no idea what her poison does. All I know is that my vial will make these little kiddies dream unpleasant dreams forever."

Batman dropped him onto the roof and walked up to Ivy. "What about it Ivy, are you ready to talk?"

Ivy swept the red hair out of her face with her hands that Robin had tied up. She looked at Robin and smirked. "It's a love potion but with a tragic twist. It kills." She smiled to herself. "Isn't love grand?" She joked sarcastically to Robin.

Raven walked up to Robin. "Are you going to tell me now?"

Robin looked at her and scratched the back of his head. "Um… Raven I'd like to introduce…" He gulped. "The man who taught me everything I know, Batman." He looked at Bruce. "Batman, Raven, one of my teammates."

Raven looked at him unimpressed. "Pleased to meet you, Batman." She said monotone.

Bruce returned her monotone with a similar tone. "Ecstatic."

Robin pointed to the lounge and nervously laughed. "Batman wanna um… join us in the lounge?"

Batman looked at Raven then at the entrance to the Tower. "I don't like kids. I'll be heading back to the cave to…" He paused as he saw three teens walk out onto the roof.

Beastboy was rubbing his eyes of the sleep when he looked toward Robin and Raven. "Hey guys, what's going—" He could feel his jaw as it dropped open.

Cyborg was in a similar state of awe.

Starfire looked at them confused. "Friends, is there something wrong with your faces? What does that mean?" She thought for a moment. "Ah…. yes a yawn. You two are still tired. I am also still not rested."

Beastboy ran up to Robin and looked at him. He started to get excited. "No way, this can't be! Is that him? Is that who I think it is?"

Cyborg walked up beside Raven. "It can't be anyone else B, it's gotta be him."

Raven looked at both of them like they had lost it. "You two are acting like a bunch of geeks at a convention. Why?"

Beastboy was the first to respond. "Are you kidding? You mean you don't know who this is?"

Raven nodded. "He's Batman, so?"

Beastboy was amazed and confused about Raven's lack of excitement. "He's Batman! Only the best superhero to live, I mean he's a legend. Everybody knows about him, everybody."

Cyborg shook his head. "Nah, dude your wrong, Steel's the best. Batman is a legend though, I'll give him that."

Starfire walked up behind them and looked at Batman confused. "Who is this Batman?"

Beastboy sighed. "I take it back. Everybody but Starfire knows who Batman is."

Robin looked at Starfire. "Star this is Batman. He's the one that taught me so well. I wouldn't be this team's leader if not for what he put me through."

Batman looked at him and the others. "Cozy little family you've got here Robin."

Ivy and Crane scoffed in disgust.

Batman walked toward the air conditioning fan and pulled out a swab. He wiped the sides of the housing when he found pink colored fluid on it. He stuck the sample in a container and walked toward the two escapees. He reached into his utility belt and pulled out a small device and pressed a button on it. Out of the clouds came the loud whine of a jet engine.

The teens looked over and saw the batplane hovering downward until the cockpit was level with the top of the roof. He turned to Robin. "I'll contact you when I find something out about what this poison does. Until then stay out of any further trouble."

Robin stuck his thumb up. "Right. Good luck Batman."

Batman threw Ivy and Crane in the back seat and made sure they couldn't break free. He then hopped into the front seat and closed the canopy.

The batplane rose into the clouds again and flew away.

Beastboy was still beside himself as was Cyborg.

Raven looked at Robin. "I'm going back to my room. It's to early to get up even for me."

Robin looked at her and nodded. "Alright Rae, sleep well." He turned to the others. "You all better get back to bed too. You need your rest. I have a feeling tomorrow's going to be a busy day.

Beastboy shook his head. "Man, I don't know if I can. I met Batman. This is the greatest Halloween I've ever had."

Cyborg sighed. "I'm with Rae here. I'm wiped. There's nothing to do now anyway. See you in the morning guys."

Robin walked into the lounge with Starfire trailing. "Robin, tell me more about Batman. I am wondering about him."

Robin looked at her. "In the morning Star okay, I'm really tired."

Star nodded. "Very well Robin. I will look forward to hearing it."

She walked to her room and lay on her bed.

Raven sighed and walked toward her bed. She closed her eyes and chanted. She soon was back in the air in her meditative resting state and the rest of the night went by without a peep.
