Three: Trouble with a Capital T
Tim dodged another attack and stabbed the thug with his Bō staff, shoving him towards Spoiler and she laughed at the pathetic attack the thug made. She easily took him down with a kick to the head and jumped over to cover Robin's back.
"Hey we should be a tag-team thing! We would totally be awesome! Robin and Spoiler, the greatest kid detectives there is!" she exclaimed and punched another guy in the face, knocking him out cold while Tim grunted in response. He only listened to part of her squeal since Jason was yelling commands in his ear.
"Come on, kid! Stop handing them off to the chick! You have a weapon use it to your advantage!" he yelled at Tim who grinds his teeth together before wiping his staff around the thugs, knocking them down and jumped over to one. He kicked some in the face while jumping up to do a split kick, knocking the thugs out. He twirled the staff around before noticing all the thugs had been beaten and he brushed off the stinging pain on his face from one managing to get a hit on his face.
"There's one still behind you!" Jason yelled and Tim quickly pulled out a Birdarang, tossing it at the thug and knocked him out. He quietly panted while Spoiler placed her hands to her knees, panting loudly.
"Man, that was a work out!" she exclaimed and stretched her back, groaning in the protest.
"Do you know if he is just working by himself?" Tim asked and pressed a button to shrink the staff, then clicking it to the back of his utility belt.
"Well, he called someone on a cellphone so I couldn't hear what he said but it had to be someone big because he had to mention some money to convince them of either helping him or doing the assassination themselves." She stated and he nodded, glancing to Kid Flash and Lagoon Boy.
"Do you two mind helping Alpha Squad while I chat with Spoiler?" he asked and they opened their mouths to protest but both grinned largely, knowing that the two teens suspected it was for more alone time with Spoiler.
"Don't get caught up, Boy Wonder!" Kid Flash announced before he zoomed out of there with Lagoon Boy not that far behind him. Tim rolled his eyes under his mask and Jason snickered behind him before looking back to Spoiler.
"So what's the problem, Robin?" she asked and he stared at her before licking his lips.
"You do know that I now possess your identity by giving away the fact that you are Cluemaster's daughter, correct?" he stated and she nodded at this, rocking back and forth on her heels.
"I knew that but it was worth it for earning your trust." She said and he narrowed his eyes under his mask while Jason laughed at it.
"She doesn't know much about us birds, huh, kid?" Jason spoke and Tim grind his teeth together, ready to shout at him to shut up.
"Listen, I will contact you later," he said and pulled out a piece of crumbled up paper with a cell phone number, placing it in her hand, "Call this number when you are positive you are alone and then I'll reach you within twenty minutes. Now head back to Gotham, we don't need any unnecessary loses." She glared from under her mask but stuffed the number in a pocket of her utility belt and pulled her mask up a little, a frown etched across her face then she gave him a quick peck on the cheek. His face lit up like Rudolph's nose before she smiled at him, pulling the mask down.
"I'll see you back in Gotham then, Boy Wonder." She said before pulling out a grappling gun and shot out of there, leaving Robin dumbstruck.
"Kid? You ok?" Jason asked and waved his hand in front of his successor, "Crap, don't tell me fell for the girl for just having a quick smooch on the lips!"
With that Tim snapped out of his trance and turned to him, the blush still large on his cheeks and hissed back, "I am not! Now keep quiet, I don't want to be viewed as a psycho!"
"Robin, report." Batgirl said from his communicator and he nearly jumped ten feet in the air from her voice while Jason giggled at this.
"Everything is fine, Batgirl. Just-" he began until his vision started swirling around him and Batgirl started to yell at him to respond.
"Kid?! What's wrong?" Jason asked and floated down next to him; Tim opened his mouth to say something before noticing the blood leaking down from his side in massive amounts, "Oh crap…kid, can you move?! Can you talk?! Is there anything I can do?!"
Who managed to cut me? Tim thought wildly and he groaned as more pain racked his body before falling to his knees again.
"Tim!" Jason cried before the teen's entire vision went black and fainted onto the roof, leaving Jason full of concern and worry. He gulped and floated around him, reaching out to touching him.
Maybe I can move his body so someone will notice the kid? Jason thought and as soon as his hand went to touch his successor, it went right through his body and shoved him in.
"He's waking up."
Jason groaned and his eyes flickered open to see the worried faces of Batgirl, Kid Flash, Lagoon Boy, Blue Beetle, and Wondergirl huddled over him. He sighed and winced when he felt something sting against his side.
"Just another illusion." He mumbled to himself and then Batgirl wrapped her arms around him, his eyes going wide.
Illusions couldn't hug.
What the hell is going on?
He quickly shoved her off him and tried to crawl back but something tied down his wrists so he couldn't go very far.
He glanced around before noticing one of his wrists cuffed to the bed frame as if he was being restrained and noticed a scalpel lying near other objects to a doctor's use. He grabbed it and flashed it towards them, sweat trickling down the side of his face.
"I don't know what the hell is going on but if I have to fight I will." He hissed at them and everyone's eyes went wide at this. He scowled at this before snarling, "What the hell are you waiting for? This has to be another illusion so I can wake up back making sure nothing happened to the kid."
"Robin…did you bump your head during the fight?" Batgirl asked and he grinds his teeth together.
"Stop calling me that! I'm not Robin anymore since you freakin' replaced me!" he snarled at her and she got a sorrowful expression on her face.
"Robin…you know both Nightwing and I don't treat you as a replacement. You are your own person." She said and he gripped the scalpel tighter.
"Just…shut up! I just have to wake up." He said and then winced again at the pain in his side.
Pain?
If he was a ghost, then he shouldn't be able to feel pain.
He dropped the scalpel and clawed at a small mirror on the cart of tools, seeing the group of teenage sidekicks relax a little and turned the mirror to face him.
He almost fainted again when he saw Tim in the mirror instead of himself.
What the hell?
"Would you mind giving me back my body, Jason?"
He looked above him and his jaw went slack at the sight of Tim floating above him while he was in Tim's body. He gulped and placed the mirror down, rubbing a hand to his head.
"This is going to be troublesome." He muttered and Tim replied back, "You don't think?"
