I do not own anything.
To say that Dick was surprised would be an understatement, HOLY CRAP TIM GAVE HIM A FLYING HUG!
Flying hugs should not exist in the Batman world.
Dick propped himself up on his elbows, the force of Tim's hug had thrown them both to the ground
"Robin? Why'd you do that?"
"Beeeeeecaaaaauuuse I thought you were eaten by a zombie."
Tim replied after a moment of thought, Richard's eyebrow went up
"He was just undead, not a zombie, besides, he got away when I tried to freeze him"
"So he'll be attacking other people?"
"No, Talons are assassins, not just random killers, they report to that Court of Owls"
Barbara scoffed
"That old nursery rhyme? Please."
"We've faced weirder"
Batgirl shrugged, M'gann asked
"Who are they?"
"The Talons are circus performers recruited by the Court, they're practically immortal and their weakness is the cold, freeze them and it'll stop them for a while"
"Who's the Court of Owls then?"
"Pretty much a secret society of immortal people, they're probably older than Gotham"
"How do you know so much?"
Dick paused, then replied
"That's classified"
He stood up and said
"I've got a DNA sample to test out"
Liar. He kept on lying his way to the zeta, just to keep the Team at bay, but he didn't say that he wasn't related to the Talons, he simply left out a few details, technically, he wasn't lying. He was just saying that to make himself feel a little better, of course he was lying.
He already knew the owner of the DNA, thankfully it wasn't William Cobb, it was Alexander Staunton.
He really didn't know much about them individually but he knew that if the 1850s Talon was here, then where were the others? The Court didn't just skip a few Talons and pick up a random old one.
More importantly, where was Cobb?
Dick arrived at the Batcave, usually he would do this kind of thing on the Cave's computer but he didn't really want to risk it, excuse: The Batcave has a more detailed database on Gotham criminals.
It was true, mostly. But not any more detailed then a laptop for finding Talons.
He leaned back in Batman's chair, staring at the little information that he had on the Talons, very slowly, he reached foreward and filled it out with everything he knew and theorized about them.
While he was typing, he kept on glancing around, the dinosaur was a little scary, the huge penny seemed like it could fall over at any second, everything else was covered in shadow.
He finished up faster then he thought he would, he looked up at the holographic screen and noted that every single thing that was needed on the Talons was there, identities, backgrounds, fighting styles, patterns, motives, weaknesses, everything.
He deleted the edits he had made and only put the names of the Talons and a vague biography, leaving out his relationship with William.
No-one had no know. It was over, right?
Author's Note: This was poopy. I just made this one up to give them a break from the action. Sorry if I made mistakes.
Review Please, I like reviews a lot, even though this chapter didn't have anything in it, I'll work on an action chapter in the next few hours.
