AN: Okay soooo...I'm back :) I have no excuse other than my general inability to REALLY connect to Tim Drake's character. Sooooo as a solution to that I added in a favorite character of mine and a friend of his to spark the creative juices. I will admit I still feel that he is OOC but, I can live with how this chappy turned out. I'm challenging all who read to figure out who the special guest of the non-Bat Family type is, before they are revealed at the end of the chapter. Oh and just so you all know this is a pre-reboot chapter...and Tim is already Red Robin...hope that helps...

Tim's dialogue: words words words blah blah blaaaaah

Mystery Guest Dialogue: words words words blah blah blaaaaah

Disclaimer: Me no own Batman. Or Tim and his awesome Red Robin cape-wing-thing-y...but I want all three...JIM LEE WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY EMAILS! D':

Timmy's Troubles

Long time no see, Red Robin

Tim: **turns** Oh! It's you…What are you doing here?

**smirk**What I usually do on the roof.

Tim: Oh…Right. Sorry for disturbing you. I was just stopping by to see how everyone is doing…

Something troubles you?

Tim: Oh no! It's nothing…**fidgets** really it is…

You should know better than to try to lie to me.**smirks**

Tim: **chuckles** Yeah. You'd think I'd have learned by now…**face drops**

…What happened in Gotham after…after he left..

Tim: A lot. A lot happened when he left…

How is your family doing?

Tim: Their handling things, somehow. We've been spread really thin. I don't know how Dick is dealing with this, without losing it. I mean it took Bruce time to get a handle on how to approach the crime in Gotham. I can only imagine how year one was…

No one knows how Bruce or Dick do what they do.

Tim: Yeah leave it to the original boy wonder to have everything under control…

Tim you have proven yourself to be a worthy and formidable Robin, many times.

Tim: Yes and so was he…

You mean the second Robin, correct?

Tim: Yes….I fought him in Gotham…

I thought he was-

Tim: He was.

I can see how that can be troubling to say the I sense that is not all that is bothering you...

Tim: Yeah. But I think it's the fight that's really bothering me...

You did what you had to...

Tim: That I can handle. It's just how it happened...I mean he was nearly beaten to death with a crowbar and what do I, the kid he doesn't know who takes his place as Robin. I beat him with a crowbar. We're supposed to be brothers, even if he was a bit righteous...

You feel as if you betrayed him then?

Tim: Yes. No. Sort of.

I'm unsure what you mean...

Tim: Well he was trying to kill Catwoman and I. He'd also killed others before that...

So you acted out of self defense.

Tim: I did but it still feels cruel to have beaten him with a crowbar...then again...

**raises eyebrow**

Tim: He kinda stabbed me with an old Batarang...

I would think that makes you even. **smirks**

Tim: Yeah. I guess it does.**smiles** Thanks Raven.

Raven: You're welcome. You know you'll always have a room in Titans Tower. Come on, Conner, Cassie and Bart are down stairs. Chances are Conner's already heard us.

Tim: You think so?

Raven: Yes**pauses* I sense their excitement. They know.

Tim: Oh boy...**chuckles**

Raven: I heard something from Dick. It's about the new Robin...

Tim: Really, what's that?

Raven: He might be joining the Titans.

Tim: HA! That'll be the day...

AN: How was it please review. They inspire me to right more! If you have any suggestions for any of the Robins I would highly appreciate any feed back!
