Chapter 2
A TV remote fell to the floor, a look of horror etched on Dick's face.
It can't be . . .
" . . . Late last night, a woman was murdered. The police haven't confirmed it but it would seem that her neck was broken . . . "
Dick sank into the couch behind him, the rest of the reporter's words fading into the background.
A broken neck? Just a broken neck? But in Gotham, killers go all out. They use guns, knives and metal bars. They never just break a person's neck. So that means . . .
"Dick? What's wrong?" Bruce asked as he walked into the living room and spotted Dick staring at the TV.
Dick swung his head to the left, his dazed eyes staring up at Bruce.
"It's happening, Bruce, just like I always said it would."
_At Mount Justice_
Dick was now in Robin mode at Mount Justice, hanging out with team like he usually would, pretending that the murder that his teammates were talking about wasn't bothering him.
But it was.
Greatly.
"So do you know who did it yet?" Kid Flash asked Robin as he flitted around the kitchen, making himself a sandwich.
Robin shook his head. "No."
Robin's answer made Kid Flash stopped in the middle of putting his sandwich together. "Really?"
Robin nodded. "Yeah."
"Even Batman?" Kid Flash asked slowly, taking in the fact that Robin had a strange expression on his face.
" . . . Yeah."
Everyone had heard their conversation but hadn't really paid attention till they heard Robin's last response. M'gann stopped meditating, turning her surprised face towards Robin. Superboy turned his face from glaring at the TV, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Aqualad and Artemis glanced up from their game of chess, their face also covered with surprise.
"Really?" Kid Flash asked, surprise dripping from his tone.
Robin ignored their surprise. "Yeah."
Aqualad frowned. "That seems-"
A cellphone went off. Turning his gaze down to his utility belt, Robin reached into one of the many pockets and drew out his cellphone. He flipped it open and walked off, leaving his teammates with their surprise and questions.
"What just happened?" Kid Flash asked, his sandwich abandoned.
"Well, let's see. First, Robin told us that he and BATMAN don't know who the murderer is. Second, he got a phone call on a cellphone that we didn't even know that existed and walked off to talk to whoever called him," Artemis answered, picking off what had happened on her fingers.
M'gann frowned slightly. "Robin did seem odd. It was almost like he didn't care or something."
Superboy turned his attention back to the blank television. "I don't see how it's our business."
The team snapped their heads to stare at Superboy who then returned the stare. "What?"
"Since when did you become so . . ." Kid Flash trailed off, trying to come up with a word to describe Superboy.
"Respectful?" Artemis finished for Kid Flash.
Superboy started to glare at them but stopped when he heard Robin's voice in his room, talking to whoever had called him.
M'gann noticed Superboy focusing on something. "What's wrong, Superboy?"
"I'm listening to Robin talk to the person who called him."
