The balance is off.

Robin makes his way through the long corridors of Slade's base, trying to identify the reason for his unease. Something is definitely up; the errands Slade's been sending him on one after the other make that clear enough -- collecting payment from Professor Chang had been satisfying, but there was something final about the ( Read more... )

Robin's in civilian mode, doing his best to look like any other teenage boy in the Nexus -- that is to say slightly bored, not too interested in the explosion of people, sights and noise around him. He's an apprentice on a mission ( Read more... )

The visit to the Nexus has left Robin restless, uneasy, wanting things he's not sure how to name. He shifts restlessly, unable to sleep. Physically, he's exhausted. Mentally -- he just can't quieten his thoughts. It's not Slade. It's not even Nightwing and Persephone. It's more -- they're not there, and their absence brings other absences into ( Read more... )

Jump City's got its fair share of villains, even villains whose trademarks include big explosions -- Dr Light comes to mind, as does the Hive Five. But no-one has Slade's finesse. To anyone with an eye for these things, the terse news reports flooding in have his signature written all over them ( Read more... )

Robin's bypassed the rooftops to get back to Slade faster, slipping through the shadows of the lair. Even with the detour to see Persephone he's not that late, but he knows very well that Slade's not likely to take lightly to any deviations from his plans ( Read more... )

It's been days. Slade's rigorous training routine doesn't leave much space for deviation, even less for privacy -- Dick's sure that's deliberate. He can't come up with counter plans if he's exhausted, after all. Tonight -- it's a good sign. Dick's almost certain Slade doesn't know ( Read more... )

Just a head's up that I'm recycling this journal! I'm playing an AU version of Robin who never went to Econtra, but residents might remember this particular Robin (looking at you, Tim). I don't want to delete the econtra posts, so just be aware that here on in, this is not the Robin you are looking for.

When I saw my parents die ...

It hurt like nothing else. I'd lost the people most important to me, my world -- it didn't break me. It made me angry. I wanted justice -- and I got it.

This? It hurt -- it hurt a lot. But now what? I'm not broken. Not even close.

I'm Robin. I'm a Titan. And I'm angry.

There seems to be just one thing everyone's talking about. I have to admit, I'm not sure where I stand on things. On the one hand, I find it hard to believe in something I can't see or feel, -- I deal in logic, facts. On the other, well. Raven's power is a fact, and when she gets a premonition, you listen -- and no one's ever accused Starfire of ( Read more... )
