Jason gritted his teeth as he took one more step towards the kid, the green boots, the red and yellow R on his chest the eye mask and the white optic lenses. This was yet another Robin, when was Bruce going to learn? Then again it could be another wanna be kid hero but the way the kid held himself even if he was still glaring it up at him on his side, the familiar thick jaw the narrowed eyes, black hair. There was something that told him that this kid was the real thing.

"Please," the kid said, holding up his gloved hands, "Don't hurt me, I just want to help."

Than again he could always be over estimating this kid.

"You stupid-," Jason hissed suddenly the child swung his leg around under Jason`s own legs making him hit the ground, but he wasn't going to let some child beat him so easily, he landed on him hand and turned his fall into a roll gaining distance before he got to his feet along with the kid. he threw a kick to the kids head while the 'Robin' blocked it with his upper arms.

Robin sent a quick jabs to his sides, Jason lunged forward and grabbed the kids arms roughly spun him around and held them behind Robin`s back painfully. "Brat." He hissed. The child flung his leg back into Jason's knee and spun around and Jason finally had enough he wasn't going to tussle with a child. He grabbed the boy by the throat and held the kid a few feet off the ground at arms length.

"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Jason hissed frowning behind his mask, The kid, looking around nine or ten year of age glared at him as his legs hung limply in the air while his hands where around Jason`s wrist that held onto the kids fragile throat.

"I could said the same thing, you look like you have a motorcycle fetish." The child shot back with a cold tough. Jason narrowed his eyes and reached forward, the child struggled and Jason threw him down once he held to small katana in hand, "Seriously? Robin doesn't use swords."

"What would you know about being Robin freak?" The child hissed throwing a batarag, Jason barely side stepped it. "Shesh, hidden goodies all over. Almost makes me believe you are Boy Wonder."

"I am Robin, and I`m going to make you eat your words," Robin growled. Jason blinked in surprised and the child leapt at him and swung around him taking the blade from his hands and threw a swipe to his knee making Jason kneel. Jason threw a pouch up and hit Robin in the throat with two fingers the kid gasped out of breath and Jason took the opportunity to sweep his arm under foot and make the kid hit the floor.

"You are so stupid kid," Jason growled standing up putting a foot on the kid`s chest and holding him down. "stay down."

"Ha, never scum!" The boy smirked the boy pulled out his grapple gun and shot it. the end of it hit just below Jason`s jaw and his hood loosened around his head twisting slightly making his head hurt badly. "Little shit!" he hissed. At hit to his head again made him stumble and he was even more unbalanced when the kid pushed off of his chest making Jason fall back.

This wasn't working out at the moment. Jason took the quickest breath he could and relied on his training catching the barrel of the rocket launcher when the kid tried to hit it with him. Jason pushed the gun back and hit the kid in the face. he flipped over the ten year old and punched him in the side as the child spun around and jumped up and kicked off of his chest.

Jason smirked and lunged forward and grabbed the kids ankle as he got air born and threw him down, hard. The kid was on his feet again throwing good and coordinated punches and jabs but Jason hit more often and harder then the ten year old. He couldn't help admire the kids willingness to win, or was that just stubbornness?

Jason lifted his foot and kicked the kid back in the chest, digging his heel into the spot where the edge of the gun had hit the kid earlier. The kid threw three batarag and they ripped against the side of Jason's upper arm cutting him just as the kid staggered back.

"I do not need your help, I`m not a child." Robin mutter, was he talking in a com? Who? Barbara, Dick, Bruce, Tim, or Alfred?

The Kid made a jolt move movement as if to attack again, god this kid never quit, but Jason pulled out the detonator. It made Robin stop and glare that hateful glare he had.

"Boom." Jason smirked, the kid didn't think he would do it, the look was clear in his guarded face because when he was Robin he knew the criminals were never good on their word because he and Bruce were always there to stop it. This child obviously had the same 'I can do anything' act but not this time.

He gave a lopsided smirk behind his mask and his thumb pressed neatly on the small red button. the building and the dock`s were alight with fire spreading debris everywhere along with balls of fire that hit everything even their roof top. Jason smirked and waved a hand in good-bye before he took a few steps back the boy ran at him but suddenly stopped and gapped at some of the pieces of wood from the dock, fire and all flew at him. Jason blinked tempted to do something but if this kid was robin, the damn suit was fire prof.

his skin on the there hand...wasn't.

Someone obviously knew this and fell onto the boy covering him with a large black cape. That was his cue to leave.

XXXXXX

"Hmm," Jason thought to himself aloud, the night was a little more then interesting in a way. A new Robin, Batman showing up to save him. Or not. He had recorded the fight till the moment he got on his motorcycle and drove off.

Batman would have followed him, Batman would have trusted the kid, if he was a robin to use his cape to protect himself from the fire, and batman wasn't a girl. he had paused the video cam to see the girl`s form, he could tell this wasn't Barbara, even thought the bat suit and the gold bat across her chest. Barbara used her legs more, maybe because it was just habit after almost losing them.

So this wasn't Batgirl, he`d seen Barbara around only once or twice she never saw him though, but still this wasn't batgirl. So why was he suit so specific and why would Robin let her help him if he didn't know her?

Questions, so many questions.

Maybe more has happened in the short two years he was gone then he originally thought...
