Chapter Three

Raven set a steaming mug of peppermint tea down on the table for Batman, who only nodded his head in thanks. According to the big black digital clock on the 26" TV Center it was 4:20 am...Robin had been kidnaped seven hours and thirty-eight minutes ago.

"Dude did Robin say anything when he was being snatched?"BeastBoy asked, not getting some crazy idea about Robin`s capture. He was quite fond of his brave leader and was afraid he might be dead. "Maybe he made a noise?"

"Mmmh."Batman sighed."Mmmb nut muum mud. That was the closes to actually talking."

Raven nodded her head and watched as Batman lifted the white mug with pale yellow-brown tea to his lips before setting it down and pushing it away, still full of the luk-warm substance. "Don't like it?"

"I can't drink it. I need to find Robin." The Crusade Cruiser (i think) stood up and headed towered Robin`s room, images flashed threw his head.

"Master Bruce there's a monster in Master Richard's closet and he asked for your help." the old white haired butler, Alfred, stated as he entered the room. "he won't go to bed until it`s gone."
Bruce smiled as he stood up from his desk, the papers in his hand set aside. "I'll get it Al."

"Oh and Master Bruce?"

"Yes?"

"Don't forget to go to bed tonight."

"Ok mom geez." he laughed as Alfred hit him upside the head with a rolled up newspaper before continuing to Richards room. Without knocking he entered the brown door just to the right of his own. "Hey Rich, you in here?" he asked. No answer. "Richard where are you?"

When he still didn't get an answer he decided that Richard wasn't in the room and went to take care of his `monster in the closet'. Needless to say he screamed like a banshee, which he would later deny, and fell backwards as Richard hoped out of the closet, a red tunic tucked into green shorts, green gloves, a black cape with gold inside, steel toed boots, and a gold belt. The sleeves of the tunic were the same color as the shorts and there was a gold R in a black circle on the left side of Richards chest. Three gold bars went down the center of the shirt horizontally.

"What are you doing?" Bruce asked as soon as he calmed down enough to register what was going on.

"I'm going to avenge my parent's death. I already got the Batman`s permission and if i get yours then I can go after two-face. Please? I'll do good and keep out of trouble-"ok that one was a lie-"and wear a mask and and and...Go to bed on time?"

Bruce laughed. "Why do you wait until you're more trained `kay? I'll teach you all you need to know to start going out."

"REALLY?"

"Why not?" his replay came in the form of the blue eyed boy wrapping his too pale for comfort arms around Bruce`s waist in a hug.

"Thank you Bruce. And Bruce?"

"Yes?"

"I love you. I always will no matter what."

Bruce sighed as he started looking for clues around the teenager's room. "I love you too kid."

Robin smiled to himself as sudden warmth filled his cold heart allowing his entire body to warm up. he had no clue why he suddenly felt so...happy?...cared for?...satisfied?...but he wasn't going to push the feeling away.

Slade growled as he broke another wall, the fourth in two minutes, and was glad it wasn't a supporter. He had just found out about the teen titans leader being kidnapped. And it was time to give a certain clown and British man a visit.

...ok for the whole Robin smiling to himself because of the warmth it's because he felt Bruce's love...things like this might come up more but I'd be happy to answer any questions about it if you click that little button right there...come on you know what i want...and thanks again for the amazing DarkAngelHunter for helping me get this posted*clap clap clap*.next chapter might have my favorite movie series mentioned.
