Wally was speed walk pacing back and forth waiting for Robin to arrive. They had to wait on the party because of Robin walking in all beat up. Batman had informed them that Robin was ok and already complaining about not being able to go to Mount Justice.

"So when's he gonna get here?" Kid Flash finally said impatiently to no one in particular.

Everyone was sitting on the couches and chairs also waiting for Robin to arrive.

"Batman said he would be here around two. It's almost two so he should be walking in any min..." M'gann said, but she was suddenly interrupted by the computer announcing Robin's arrival.

Everyone stood up and went over to where Robin was. The greeted him with question after question. "Who attacked you?" "Are you alright?" "Why did that person attack you?"

Robin finally raised both of his hands and shouted over the questions, "Enough!"

He walked over to the couch and suddenly realized all the decorations.

"What's with all the streamers and decorations?" Robin asked as he sat on the couch.

"Well," M'gann began, "we were going to throw you a party for your birthday yesterday, but when you came in all beat up and then collapsed, Batman said the party would have to wait until you felt more up to it."

Robin stared at her and the others surprised then asked a bit confused, "You guys knew about my birthday?"

"Yeah, Uncle Berry brought over decorations and told us that Batman was gonna let us throw a party for you since we can't go to your civilian party," Kid Flash said.

Robin stared at them for a few more seconds then stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get this party started.

They played games, ate cake, watched TV, and Robin opened all of the gift they got him. There weren't that many gift just one from each but Robin didn't care too much, he was just happy to celebrate his birthday with his team.

As the night came around, and the party was starting to die down, Robin decided that it was time to take all his gifts home. He said goodbye and used the teleporter to get him back to the Batcave.

"See ya tomorrow, Rob," Kid Flash called out before Robin left. Then he was gone.

He arrived back at the Batcave, changed, and went up to the mansion to put his stuff in his room.

"Dick, how was the party?" Bruce asked as he stepped out of the elevator.

Bruce was sitting in the chair in front of the fire reading the newspaper.

"Good, although I can't believe you actually told them," Dick said as he walked past Bruce and stopped and turned around to look at him before he got out the door.

"I thought you have liked telling your friends at Mount Justice something about your everyday life," Bruce replied looking up at Dick.

Dick smiled. "Thanks, it was great." Dick walked out the door and up to his room to put his stuff away.

Bruce just smiled back and turned back to his newspaper.

Tiffany was sitting in a chair in an old run down shack that looked like it was going to fall apart if you breathed on it just staring at the device Robin had given her.

"You know if you just push it now it'll all be over quicker," a voice from behind her said.

Tiffany didn't look surprised or even startled by his voice; she just continued to look at the device in her hand. She looked up at the guy as he walked around so he could look at her right in the face.

"I don't think it's the right time yet. I'm still getting his trust, so give me a little longer," she said as she watched him sit in the chair across from her.

He smiled and saw her put the device back into her pocket. "So he really gave you a way of getting a hold of him?"

"Of course, he needed a way of getting a hold of me if he found anything out," she said like it was obvious.

The guy narrowed his eyes at her and studied her for a few minutes. "Ok, but we can't wait too much longer or he might start suspecting something. These hero types always figure out what's going on if you give them the time."

Tiffany rolled her eyes, shook her head, and looked away from him. "You worry too much. I'll get him I promise."

"Good," he said as he stood up to leave, "he'll be dead by the end of the week then."

Tiffany turned her head quickly to him, as he was heading to the door, with wide eyes. "Dead?" she asked in a panic.

"Yeah," he said as he stopped to look at her. "Dead. As in no more birdie. It'll give the bat a reason to stay out of our life, forever." He continued to walk out the door and closed it behind him, leaving Tiffany staring at the door alone in the room.

"He didn't say anything about killing him. I thought the plan was to just capture him, beat him up a bit, and wait for Batman and the rest of the League to show up so we could kill them? He didn't say anything about killing Robin."

Tiffany pulled the device back out of her pocket and stared at it some more. She could just imagine what he would think of her if she helped him. She didn't want to become Robin's enemy. She didn't want to hurt Robin.

She put the device back in her pocket and got up and walked out the door. She had to warn him about what he was planning to do. She couldn't go on like this. She did want the Justice League to suffer and eventually die just like they did to her parents, but she didn't want to hurt Robin, he didn't have anything to do with that.

She walked all the way to the park and sat down on the bench that they always sit at when they meet up with each other.

"Should I call him and tell him everything?" she asked herself.

What she didn't know was that the guy was watching her from the bushes. He could tell that she was having second thoughts about their plan. He noticed it when he told her that they were going to kill Robin.

"Don't think you can back out on me little girl. I'll follow you wherever you go. You can't escape me. I will have my revenge on the Justice League and you will not stop me," he said quietly so she didn't realize that he was watching her.

Tiffany finally pulled the device out of her pocket and pushed the button. She hated the Justice League, but not enough to hurt Robin.

She sat there, watching the light on the device blink on and off, not knowing that he was watching and waiting to strike.

Dick was sitting at the dinner table telling Bruce everything that went on at the party. He was like a speeding train and Bruce thought if he didn't try to slow Dick down, Dick was going to derail.

"Slow down, Dick. Now, tell me what all did you get from them?" Bruce asked interrupting Dick.

"Well..." Dick began but then noticed that the device was blinking. He didn't have it where Bruce could see it, but he could see it very well. "Uhhh... Can I tell you later, Bruce, I kind of forgot something and I need to take care of it."

Bruce looked at him confused. "It can't wait until after you finish eating?"

Dick got up from his seat. "Sorry, but no. This is really important."

Before Bruce can say another word, Dick raced out of the room. Alfred came up beside him.

"My word, what could be so important that he wouldn't even finish eating or telling you about today? I've never seen him talk that fast before."

"I don't know, Alfred, but he went to the Batcave so I have a feeling he's either hiding something, or the kids have something they're not telling us," Bruce replied narrowing his eyes a bit as he looked in the direction Robin left.

Robin ran into the park, looking everywhere he could think of, until he finally found her sitting on a bench.

He walked up to her, and she saw him coming so she stood up with her arms around her to greet him.

"What's wrong?" he asked when he was next to her.

"I have to confess. I can't stand it anymore."

Robin looked at her confused. "I'm not following you."

She let out a sigh and sat down on the bench. Robin sat beside her still staring at her confused.

She doesn't look at him, but forward at some bushes, unaware of the guy watching her.

"Tiffany, what are you talking about? What do you mean you have to confess?" Robin asked as he reached down for her hand.

Tiffany looked down at their hands and made no move to remove his hand. He made her feel safe, like she could finally trust someone. A few tears escaped her eyes as she looked up at him.

"The guy that's been following me. I haven't exactly been honest with you about who he is."

Enraged, the guy jumps out of the bush and runs over to the two on the bench.

"You little double-crosser! You are going to ruin everything!"

Tiffany and Robin look up, wide eyed, at the guy charging for them. Robin stands up and pushes Tiffany behind him so that he is in the middle of her and the guy.

"Stay behind me Tiffany."

"No, let's get out of here," Tiffany replied pulling Robin to get him to run.

They both start running, heading for the edge of the park. Robin looked behind them to see the guy right behind them and starting to gain ground.

"What are we going to do, Robin?" Tiffany asked now completely scared.

Robin thinks as they run out of the park and up the street. He looked up and saw the Wayne Mansion on the hill.

"Bruce."

Tiffany looked at him for a second confused by what he said. "What?"

"We can go to Wayne Mansion. You'll be safe there and I can get this guy off of our trail."

He started running a little faster, heading straight for Wayne Manor.

"Robin, no, you can't."

"It's the only thing I can think of right now, and your safety is the most important."

"Robin, you don't understand. What I was trying to tell you earlier..."

"Not now. Right now we have to worry about getting you to safety."

Tiffany knew that trying to convince him to not be alone with the guy and not ditching her at the mansion was a waste of time and she had to come up with another excuse.

Robin and Tiffany finally get to the gate of Wayne Manor and push the gate open, go inside, then close the gate and wait quietly next to the wall.

"You can't hide from me forever, you little punks, I'll find you eventually."

The guy walked up to the gate, rattled it to see if it would open, and when it didn't went around to try and find another way in.

Robin and Tiffany sigh in relief as they made their way quietly to the front door of the mansion. Robin knew that Bruce wasn't at work because he had gotten home not to long before Robin came home. In fact, Bruce would probably be getting ready to go out on the town.

They pushed the door open and walked in.

"Shouldn't we knock before we just come barging in here?" Tiffany asked as she got closer to Robin and wrapped her arms around one of Robin's arms. She was looking around, seeing all these amazing things and pictures on the wall.

"It's ok, Batman and I are really good friends with Bruce. Bruce has told us to just drop in whenever we needed to," he replied trying to find Alfred or Bruce.

When they turned the corner, Alfred saw them and stopped what he was doing.

"My word."

"Alfred, where is Bruce Wayne? I need to talk to him right away."

"I'll go and get him sir," Alfred replied as he left the room.

Robin showed Tiffany into the living room and she sat down when Bruce walked into the room.

"Robin?"

"Mr. Wayne, could Tiffany stay here for a while? I have some business to take care of and she needs a safe place to stay."

Bruce narrowed his eyes at Robin telling him that he had better tell him what was going on very soon.

Bruce returned to his normal composure and answered, "Yeah, she can stay a while. Where is Batman, and what is going on?"

"Sorry, Mr. Wayne, I don't have time to talk right now." He turned toward Tiffany who then stood up. "Stay here, you'll be safe I promise."

Tiffany looked scared for Robin. "Robin, please don't go out there alone. I need to tell you everything before you get hurt."

Robin smiled. "I'll be fine." He turned to look at Bruce then ran to the door and left.

Tiffany watched as he left and then sat down on the couch hard, put her hands over her face, and started crying. Bruce came over to her and sat down next to her.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

She looked up at him with tear stained eyes and shook her head. "No, he won't. He wouldn't let me explain everything. That guy out there that was chasing us, he's not normal."

Bruce looked at her confused. "What do you mean not normal?"

"He can change; shape shift."
