Mistake

Chapter 5

Just as I promised, a new chapter in the two week time period. I hope you all like it and I have already started on chapter 8. I will try to put the chapters up more frequently but I promise nothing. I already have a 59% in chemistry. For those of you who don't know, that is an E. I hate chem. Anyway, enjoy Chapter 5.

Tim or, as he was at the moment, Red Robin did not hate Damian despite the little demon's annoying habits and angry rants. When Damian tried to get rid of him in order to be Robin, Tim did not feel the need to take his revenge or whatever Damian usually did to get even at a person who wronged him. From the beginning, Tim had been trying to be friends with the younger boy even when he had tried to kill him in order to become Robin. So instead of fighting Damian he had let the kid be Robin. Tim had already been thinking of pulling away from the whole Robin identity and go out on his own.

That had helped with their relationship as a little more, of course Damian could never stop thinking of Tim as a rival. When he had demanded that the older boy should not be allowed in the manor, Tim felt a little upset about that. Talking with him had been Tim's best option. And it even seemed to work, well, despite the painful elbow to the gut but it still did work.

"Red Robin report, what's your location?" Tim was brought out of his thoughts as Dick spoke through the communicator.

He had forgotten that Dick or, as he was now, Batman usually called on his location after he left each night. He was completely lost in thought as he had jumped through the city. He had always felt free when he was out alone, patrolling the streets.

"Yeah, I am down town just past Seventh Street." He called back.

He never really received any reply after he said his location so he put his communicator away, continuing through the dark roof tops. Just as he jumped over an ally, he heard a scream. Stopping dead in his tracks, he listened as he ran back to the gap he had just jumped. Peering down, he saw three hooded men armed with knives, stalking towards a woman.

He jumped down into the shadows, making sure not to make a noise.

"Hey there miss, you want to give us your wallet?" The first man asked.

The second man snorted, "You can have the wallet. I want something else."

The third man laughed, "Can I have a little of both."

It was then that Tim walked out of the shadows, "You know what you are going to have, a big old prison cell. One for each of you so, you don't have to share."

They all turn around, holding there knives up.

The first man looks like he is about to dash after see who had spoken but before he is able to, Red Robin dashes forward, cape billowing out behind him, landing a hard punch to his chest. The man tumbles backwards into the building behind him and slides to the ground. He turns just in time to see the second man coming at him with his knife. He backflips and just as his legs leave the ground, he kicks out with his foot, hitting the man's hand and sending the weapon flying.

Landing on his feet, he looks at the man who in turn looks at his hand. Finally realizing that his knife is gone he puts up his hands in surrender.

"Li-listen, Mr. Red Robin sir, I-I give up." He said and receives a punch to the face, sending him flying back and lands unconscious on the ground.

He looks over the third man, gun in hand, "Ha, so what are you going to d-"

A dark figure falls onto the man sending him and the gun sprawling. The man feverishly crawls to his gun but just as he is about to reach it a foot descends onto his hand.

The figure regarded the man who was desperately screaming for the foot to be removed, "Red Robin, it seems that you can't do simple things without help."

"I could have handled it, Robin." The older hero said, shaking his head back and forth at the younger's childish antics to get a ruse out of the older.

"Well, since this is taken care of, I require your assistance." Robin said reluctantly.

Under his cowl, Tim eyes widened at the ask for help. Robin or rather Damian never asked for help and after what happened the night before, there was no way he would.

"With what?" he asked with a raised eyebrow underneath the cowl.

Damian did not answer as he turned back to the man who was still struggling with foot crushing his hand. Removing the foot, the man grasped is hand but it was soon released as the same foot collided with his head sending the man unconscious.

He turned back to Tim, "With stuff, now come on."

Without giving Tim any time to argue, he shot out his grappling hook and was up to the roof. Tim followed reluctantly. When he was up to the roof, he noticed that Damian was already running a few buildings ahead. He sighed but ran behind the younger, noticing the ease it took to catch up, realizing that Damian was slowing but once he caught up the younger boy started running faster with Tim keeping pace.

They ran for almost 20 minutes before Tim grew tired of Damian's childish behavior, "Damian-"

"When we are on patrol you will call me Robin." Damian interrupted.

Tim rolled his eyes under his cowl, "Okay, Robin, where are we going?"

"That is for me to know and you to shut the hell up." He said in his usual arrogant way.

"You are the one dragging me around so I think it is safe to say I should know too." Tim demanded, "Are you even-"

He was abruptly cut of as Damian stopped running in front of him. If it had not been for his reflexes he would have sent both him and Damian over the roofs edge they were currently standing on.

"We're here." Damian stated.

"You little brat." Tim started.

Damian already jumped of the edge so was unable to hear, "Hey, I wasn't down talking, brat."

As Tim jumped down to the side of what seemed like a harbor warehouse.

Giving a sigh of frustration at the absence of Damian, "Not funny, brat. Where are you?"

Just as he was walking off, a sharp pain to the back of his head sent white dots dancing across his vision just before black began to creep from the corner of his eye sight. Falling unconscious as he hit the ground.
