AN/ Hi, it's been awhile since I've tried writing fanfiction, but, I hope for the best… :P

Titans tower stood over to city, casting a shadow a the sun rose to another day. As always, Robin was the first up, then again he had been for the last four hours anyway..He headed to the main room which served to almost all the team's needs: meals, a community area and the not to be forgotten video-games. He got a cup of coffee (black, no sugar), a habit he developed when still with his past dark mentor. From the sounds behind him he knew who was about to enter and soon the green prankster emerged.

"Morning, Beastboy," he said without turning.

"Dang man, how do ya always do that?!" he responded in awe. Behind his mask Robin rolled his eyes, couldn't be the sound of a teenager getting up with enough noise to make a lion jealous, then again, maybe he slept as a lion..Robin decided he really didn't need to find out.

"I am surprised you are up before noon," inquired Robin. Beastboy scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Yeah, I was going to make Rav-I mean everyone breakfast, but no one likes tofu and I'm sort of stuck.."

"How about you just make a kettle of the jasmine tea?" he asked, helpfully.

"I'll do that," he said and smiled. Robin went back to his coffee and the rest of the team arrived in the next quarter hour. Raven went to her book and Starfire started knitting, a habit she picked up over the past month after seeing lots of people in the mall 'attacking yarn' and wanting to know more. Cyborg came in and promptly started battling Beastboy in Space Battle V. The day was going perfectly he later reflected, he should have known it wouldn't last.

"Incoming transmission from-Dang, I think you might want to take this one Robin," Cyborg started, giving his communicator to Robin who stepped outside. He looked down and saw the symbol of the bat that he would forever be connected to. Sighing, he answered to call.

"Robin, there is news from Gotham and your presence is required." His mentor stated gruffly.

"What, it's been four months, in which you ignore me and now you just say "your presence is required"!" Robin said hotly.

"Robin, you were the one who left-"

"Because you didn't trust me-"

"I am not here to argue with you. Again. Just come be here in 48 hours." He cut the transmission.

"GAh!" He exclaimed angerley.

Inside his team stood watching. Starfire floated back and forth nervously.

"Should we do the comforting of friends?" she questioned to which Beastboy and Cyborg eyed each other nervously.

However, the query was over as Robin stepped back in.

"I'm going to Gotham for a couple of days." He said. "It wouldn't be long, if I'm not back in three days something is wrong."

"Enjoy your stay," said Starfire cheerfully, "it may be a reunion of family for the best!"

An hour later as Robin sped down toward to the dark city of gotham on the horizon line he still doubted what Starfire said, even as a needle flew into his side. Vision blurring, he stopped his bike and managed to drop a birdrand as hands reached for him and dragged him into the shadows.

Okay, that's chapter one. I have a general outline of the story planned but welcome any suggestions! Worthy of a review? :)
