Ch. 4: Information

Robin woke up in the Bat-Infirmary. He looked around and saw no one there with him.

'What happened?' he thought. 'How did I get back to the Batcave? And where is Batman?'

He got up from the table and felt a little dizzy at first but then it quickly went away. He walked over to the Bat-Computer and sat down.

'And what happened to that girl? I didn't see her after the fight,' he thought as he started typing on the keyboard. Just then, he heard a sound coming from behind him. He turned around to see Batman walking toward him.

"I take it you're feeling better?" Batman asked as he came up behind Robin.

Robin turned back to the computer continued typing as he replied, "Yeah, I felt a little dizzy when I first stood up, but it's gone now." He turned to look at Batman again. "How did I get back here?"

"Flash and the kids at the mountain called trying to figure out where you were when you came in. They told me you got beat up and that I needed to get over there. When I got there you were unconscious on the couch and I brought you back here so Alfred could fix you up."

"Oh," he said as he turned back to the computer to finish what he was doing.

Batman looked at the screen then looked at him. "What are you doing?"

Robin froze for a second. "Ummm... looking up the guy that attacked me." It wasn't a lie, just not the whole truth. He was looking up the guy that attacked him, but he wasn't about to tell Batman that he got attacked by going after this guy because of what a girl said.

A picture popped up of a big man with very short hair and a scar on his right cheek that runs down to his chin. Robin punched a few more buttons on the keyboard then got up to get the picture and information he printed out.

"This is the guy that attacked you?" Batman asked examining the guy more closely.

"Yeah," Robin said walking back to the computer. When he sat down, he exited out of the information and started a new search.

"Why did he come after you?" Batman asked suddenly.

Robin froze. He knew he should tell Batman about the girl and this guy that keeps following her, but she didn't want Batman or the police involved.

Robin tried to avoid answering the question and continued his search, but Batman said in a more forceful voice, "Robin, answer me."

Robin slowly looked at Batman. He didn't know what to say so Batman wouldn't learn what he was doing.

"Well... I..."

Batman looked at him with his famous Bat-Stare. Robin started fidgeting under this stare.

Robin finally let out a huge sigh of defeat and opened his mouth to answer, "Well..."

"Sir," Alfred said interrupting Robin before he could tell Batman everything, "there's a call from the Wayne Tech. Building. They need to ask you about the Wayne Foundation Charity Ball this Saturday."

"Thank you, Alfred, tell them I'll be there in a minute."

"Very good, Sir."

Alfred tuned and entered the Bat-Elevator. Batman turned back toward Robin and said, "We'll finish this later."

Batman changed into his civilian clothes and left in the Bat-Elevator as Robin just sat at the Bat-Computer, watching Bruce get into the elevator.

Once Bruce was gone, Robin let out a sigh of relief and turned back to the computer to finish his second search.

YJYJYJYJYJ

Robin found all the information that he could on the guy and even found out a name for him, but he could not find anything on the girl. Nothing. He did ever search he could think of, but came up with nothing. He found the guy by searching police records and narrowing down the search with the way the guy looked, but she was a total mystery. He was going to have to get her name so she could find out more about her.

He headed to the park, hoping that she would be there. He had no way of getting a hold of her, so he didn't know how to keep in touch or protect her if he didn't even know how to find her.

He searched the entire park and saw no sign of her.

"Great, now what am I supposed to do?"

"About what?"

Robin jumped as he turned around to face whoever was behind him.

When he turned around, he saw the girl standing there smiling at him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," she said chuckling a bit.

Robin smiled back. "You didn't scare me, you just startled me. I looked all over this park and you were nowhere in sight. Not to be mean, but where did you come from?"

She chuckled at him again. "Well, I just got here to tell you the truth. I was hoping you were going to be here so I could find out if you got him or not."

"Well, not really. He kind of got the better of me. I went back to look for you after the fight, but couldn't find you. The next thing I remember is waking up in the Batcave."

"You don't remember getting there?" she asked the smile disappearing from her face.

"No. I don't even remember going to Mount Justice. They said I walked in there then collapsed."

"Wow," she said disconcertedly. She looked down then turned completely around. She wrapped her arms around her and said, "I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to help me you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Robin went around her so he could see her face without turning her around or touching her. "Hey, I go through things like this all the time," he said a small smile forming on his face. "Besides, I agreed to help you remember?"

She nodded but said nothing.

"Well then, it's not your fault I got hurt, it's mine."

"Yeah, but I still feel responsible."

She uncrossed her arms and started to walk down the sidewalk toward the nearby bench. Robin followed her and they both sat down on the bench. They both sat there in silence for a few minutes before Robin finally changed the subject.

"Hey, what's your name anyway? I agreed to help you but I don't even know your name or anyway to contact you."

She smiled at this.

"It's Tiffany."

"Tiffany," he repeated, "Ok, now how can I get a hold of you if I need to?"

"Well, I'm not home very much so it wouldn't really pay to give you my home number, and I don't have a cell phone so that's out too. The only way I can think of is if you have something that you could give me that would enable us to contact each other."

Robin thought for a moment then snapped his fingers. He reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a little bat-shaped device with a button on it and hands it to her.

She looked confused as she took it.

"Just push the button and it will make this one," he pulled out a second bat-shaped device with a button on it, "start blinking. It's only connected to this one so you won't be alerting Batman."

"Ok good. I don't want Batman involved in this. You promise you won't tell him or get him involved?" she said looking back at him.

"No, I won't tell him, but if he finds out about it there's nothing I can do. He almost found out today, but luckily Al... uh... Batman got interrupted by someone."

"Ok," she said as she placed the device in her jacket pocket. "Thanks for everything, Robin," she said then kissed him on the cheek.

Robin was surprised by this and turned a little red with embarrassment. Tiffany giggled when she saw how he reacted.

Robin stood up from the bench and said as he backed away from her, "Well, it's getting late and I should really get back to the Batcave before Batman notices I'm gone."

Tiffany stood up. "Ok, I'll see you later," she said still giggling.

Robin turned and ran down the sidewalk and disappeared.

Tiffany just sat back down on the bench and pulled out the bat-shaped device. After she looked at it for a few minutes, she looked in the direction Robin went. She looked back down to the device then looked around at her surroundings. There was no one there, but she could still tell he was watching her.

She looked back down at the device and said in a voice that could only be heard by her, "Why can't you just leave me alone and not make me do this to him."
