I wish I could get an extension on my homework but it doesn't work that way in Britain, plus I have to do a presentation this week and I definitely can't get an extension on that. DAMN ENGLISH! Yet I love writing…I need to get my thinking straight!
The bit with Robin's mum kind of just happened you know, I was going to put Robin but I thought it would be much cooler if I used his mum instead, I loved how that turned out though, go me! Te he!

When Robin stopped running he was five miles out of Jump City, his need to run from everything had brought him away, he looked back into the distance, the skyscrapers of Jump stood tall up against the night sky, its glittering lights shining merrily, unknowing to what happened at the Museum. He turned away as a pain shot through his stomach, the pain was too much. The pain of his past, the pain of Slade the pain of…her.
She's dead
He started to walk away from the towering city, not knowing where he was going. He didn't want to ever go back there, he wanted to forget. He had to go back to who he was before Jump. He was going to be his own…business. The business of assassination. There was only one problem. Where to go? He thought back to his lessons, but there was no answer there, he thought further back, where could he find a lot of work, a place where a lot of people needed help getting rid of competition, getting rid of good or bad people, who someone who just wanted the legendary assassin Robin to work for them. And then it hit him.
Gotham City
TT
He walked through the streets of Gotham, steam billowed from an unknown source, litter lay on the ground and people littered the streets, it almost seemed like night when it was only the afternoon. About six foot in front of him was a burly man; he wore a black leather waistcoat with ripped hems, a black t-shirt underneath with a dark pair of jeans and a pair of boots. Robin followed behind to not attract attention. Wearing sunglasses, a long black coats and light jeans with steel toed boots.
Keeping his eyes on the man in front of him Robin watched the man take a sharp turn into an ally. Robin followed obediently; when he stopped he was surrounded by about six of them. All were dressed like his guide. One stepped forward.
"What dya want?" He grunted. Robin smirked.
"Work." He replied. They looked at each other smirking.
"You're a kid. Get home to your momma boy." Before his friends could laugh at his remark there was a slicing sound that echoed throughout the ally way, and Robin was wiping his sword clean of dark blood, the man's head lying beside its body that was still spurting blood lazily. The other gangsters stared wide eyed at Robin as he replaced his sword in his secret sheath on his back. He smirked at each one in turn and they backed away slightly. But deep down Robin was hurting, after Jump, his conscious had woken up and it was guilty.
"Names Robin and I want to meet your boss."
"Joker don't take kind to people killing his boys." One growled finding some dignity. But one of the other gangsters had a smirk of his own to pull.
"Hey, en't you the assassin kid, the one that got into deep with a titan, you know the alien chick with a sweet a!"
The gangster didn't get to finish his sentence. A small digger had been thrown into his chest. Robin stood there, tensed and one eye twitching slightly. He stormed up to the gangster and dug the dagger in deeper. His mind was screaming at him to stop but his anger was blinding him.
"Finish that sentence bastard." Robin growled as he dug in the dagger again. The gangster screamed in agony, and his peers did nothing stood their watching their own backs. "Go on…finish it." He ended it in a mere whisper. The Gangster was frozen in shock, blood slowly seeped from his lips and Robin pulled the dagger out with a sickening crack and the man fell dead, he turned to the others.
"Take me to the Joker."
None answered.
"TAKE ME TO THE FUCKING JOKER NOW INLESS YOU WANT TO END UP LIKE YOUR FRIENDS!" Robin roared pulling out his sword to scare them some more. His mind was no longer heard, the scream of anger had taken over and it wanted blood.
TT
HAHA! I'm feeling evil, sorry for the swearing! And you know…the madness. Robin's not taking it too well. He needs talking to…queue evil grin

Starfire sat on the roof, it was late, the stars were shrouded by grey clouds and that's exactly how her mind felt. She was so confused, she was glad Robin was gone in a way; Raven never found any sign expect for some blood on the roof of the museum, Cyborg planned to test it for DNA but it wasn't ready yet. Starfire put her head in her hands.
Was he dead? Did he run? Did to go with Red X. He disappeared afterwards, he got away with the necklace and the Japanese officials were upset with the Mayor and it was all her fault, she'd gotten hurt and distracted her friends. She was a weakness to them, not knowing he was behind her, and Red X had said she was a weakness to Robin, though she did not know why.
The alarm sounded throughout the tower, and she heard her friends call her name, at least she knew one, in the two weeks of Robin's disappearance, Slade hadn't stopped stealing, hadn't stopped planting explosives and hadn't stopped trying to destroy her city, and she had this to say to Slade.
"Over my dead body!" She shouted to the nothingness before turning to go inside. Little did she know how right she was.

"Little bird I think I'm willing to over look your little mistake in Jump City." The Joker finally decided, sitting in a cliché winged purple chair, fiddling with his purple suit's hem. His pasty face standing out in the darkness, his lips curled into that maniacal smile that Gotham had come to fear, those eyes that were filled with glee at the slight of a dead body. His brightly colored suit clashing awfully with it, yet this was the mastermind of crime in Gotham and he had to work for the best.
"Thank you." Robin said staring at the ground, he didn't want to make any mistakes with the Joker, it was cost him his life, no matter how good he was, and not even he could predict the mad mans ideas of getting rid of people.
"Ok birdie boy, I guess I could do with some extra muscle around here, especially one that'll kill on command, HA!" Robin flinched at his laugh, it was like Slade's only without the glee of madness the Joker had, and Slade had the madness, just not the glee.
"When will you have work for me?" Robin asked still not meeting the Joker in the eyes, when he looked at the Joker and thought about how the Joker didn't kill if he killed someone it hurt to know he was supposed to be like him, how he was supposed to kill and laugh about it, how his 'mask' of indifference made him the perfect killer, in the end would he become to excited at the thought of killing someone his lips would grin like his, would his skin become white…would he laugh that laugh.
"You'll know Robin." Joker said leaning back, his grin never faltering. "You'll know.
TT
Sorry about all the breaks, they must be driving you mad! Be prepared for a load of them though…sorry!

Starfire threw as many starbolts as she could at the advancing robots, it seemed whenever she hit one another would take it's place, only be harder to destroy. She flew above them firing at will, her teammates fairing beneath their opponents, neither Red X nor Slade had made an appearance yet. But it was only a matter of time.
TT
Robin turned to leave at these words; he was nearing the door when he heard the Joker calling his name again. He turned only to see the Joker walking towards him. His hands on his jacket collar and a certain skip to his step, he stopped in front of Robin.
"I've actually got something for you." The Joker sneered his eyes gleaming.
"A job?"
"Yeah, you see birdie there's this guy, his name's Gordon, when ever I'm on one of my own…jobs as you call them, he calls Bats on me. I want you to take care of him. Tonight." The Joker held out a hand for Robin to shake.
"Done." Robin stated turning away, leaving the Joker hanging.
TT
Starfire finally touched the ground and was met by her friends; around them was the wreckage of about a hundred robots. They all looked around; waiting for the reason why Slade sent all these robots, but none could see anything.
"Please don't tell me we came here for nothing." Raven droned her hood up but her eyes angry.
"Maybe Slade's testing us? I don't know dawg." Cyborg said shrugging.
"Or maybe this was Slade's plan all the long." Starfire added putting her hands to her chest in a worried manner.
"And how right you are my dear…how right you are."

An hour later he found himself on the roof of the Bat light (is that what it's called? I have no clue, I don't watch batman! I've seen the movie thought!) Waiting, he'd left a message on the police chief's phone saying there was a problem with the light and he needed him there to help with it. So now Robin was waiting in the shadows.
He heard gradual footfalls of heavy shoes; he heard the breathing of a fairly old man. And then his grumbling.
"I'm getting to old for those stairs." He grumbled as he came into Robin's view. Robin slowly unsheathed his sword but stayed where he was as Gordon looked around the roof, obviously looking for one of his men.
"Don't tell me this is some kind of joke. There better be someone here to tell me about some problem of what ever, because if there isn't, heads will role!" He snarled leaning against the light.
Robin then revealed himself, "oh there's no problem…but someone's here." Robin sneered stepping into the light of Gotham's blaring lights.
"What the! Who the hell are you?" Gordon shouted, obviously shocked to find someone on the roof who wasn't an officer or the bat.
"His name's Robin, he's an assassin." Came another voice, and it was Robin's turn to be shocked as out of the darkness the Batman appeared…cloak and all.
TT
