Thinking, Always Thinking (open)

[Spoiler]

Spoiler sat on the edge of one of the taller buildings in Bludhaven. Since recieving her new motorcycle, she had traveled an awful lot between cities. She wanted to make a name for herself in more than one place. Tonight she found herself in Nightwings city, Bludhaven. She leaned back, and eventually lowered herself to lay down and stare up at the smoky looking sky. She was very thankful for Nightwing. He had been amazing to her lately. He had taken her in as a student when the war broke out, he had offered her a seat as a Teen Titan, and had finally made her feel like she really belonged in this costume. Of course, thoughts of Nightwing quickly turned to thought of Robin. Tim, as she now knew him. She sighed heavily and continued to watch the stars twinkle from behind the clouds. She hadn't seen Tim in a while now, and that bothered her. She didn't know if he was still working with Batman, or anything else about him. The last time she saw him was at the first Teen Titan meeting, and that was slightly akward.

"Where is that Boy Wonder?",she whispered to herself as she peeled back her eggplant colored flowing hood.

Her musings were cut short however as she heard screaming in an alley nearby. She shoved her hood back on and began running across the rooftop.

It was shockingly a beautiful night in Buldhaven, a nice retreat from the seemingly constant rain in Gotham. Robin was, no surprise, in search of two people that night, among many other things. He needed to speak with Nightwing regarding the Titans ... and a trip to the clubs in a week. He was also in searach of Spoiler to answer some unanswered questions. They had an ... awkward relationship for so long and finally, his true feelings for her were revealed to him and it was time he talked to her about how he felt. Yes, he liked her but he was unsure how she felt towards him. Talking about feelings between teammates were always awkward and since they were best friends for so long, that wouldn't help anything.

Finally, he spotted the sore-thumb purple suit on a rooftop about three buildings away and smiled. Finally he'd be able to let out his true feelings for her and hopefully start a nice relationship. He was ready to settle down, right now at least. Who knew what could change tomorrow. Especially since Tim's life was rollercoast of ups and downs. From his father dying to leading to Titans, he'd been through a lot. Robin jumped onto another rooftop, closing in on the quiet purple-clad woman when a scream echoed from an alley nearby. He perked up a bit and then noticed Spoiler throw her hood back on. Obviously she heard it too and now their conversation would have to wait. Robin sighed and followed Spoiler into the alley where the scream came from.

"I was planning on a nice talk but I guess the civilains come first, huh?"

A smirk formed on Robin's face as he landed in the alley. Surprisingly, only one woman stood in the alley. He assumed she was the woman that screamed but why would she scream if no one was there. Robin turned around and ran to the exit/entrance of the alley and looked both ways. To the left, no one was there; to the right, the door to a local drug store was swinging shut. Robin's eyes narrowed and turned back to the alley. Spoiler was now in the alley and walked towards the woman. Arms crossed, Robin thought about the odds of the person walking into the CVS was the same person that caused the woman to scream. Robin turned back and looked down the street only to find nothing. He looked back at Spoiler, his eyes still narrow and his arms at his side.

"Spoiler! Stay with her! I'm going to find the person that made the woman scream."

Robin then turned and ran out of the alley. He ran down the street and finally walked into the CVS calmly. There was a lonely woman at the counter reading a magazine and chewing gum like a cow. Robin rolled his eyes and strolled through one of the isles. He stayed on his toes, ready for anything. Finally, he approaced the counter, not turning his back to the isles. He asked the woman if someone came in and she pointed a hand towards the pharmacy without looking up. Robin nodded and walked towards the pharmacy. There was one man with his back to the Teen Wonder at the counter. The lights were off in the pharmacy and there was no one there. Suddenly, the man jolted around and began to fire a gun at Robin, causing the woman at the counter to let out a blood-curtling scream.

Spoiler had just dropped into the dark and stretching alleyway when she heard a very familiar voice. It was Tim Drake, the boy wonder, former boyfriend and current awkward relationship. She turned so quickly that her head began to spin. Stephanie felt her heart began to beat wildly as he spoke to her. The words were a blur at first, but her mind finally allowed the sentence to be processed.

"Robin..", she said with a smile. She was very glad to see him, but of course the people would come first. She sighed as he instructed she stay behind and play the comforting shoulder to the shook up woman. She watched the handsome young man run off and promptly turned to the frazzled young lady. Stephanie would eventually calm the hysterical brunette down and learn that it was a robbery gone slightly wrong.

Stephanie peered over at the white painted pharmacy and bit her lip as the eerie silence ensued. Silence always made the vigilante vixen a bit nervous. It always meant something was going to happen. Her suspicions were soon confirmed as the sounds of gun shots and screams filled the air.

"Back in a flash!", Steph shouted to the woman as she began to run towards the pharmacy. She waited and observed, hoping that Tim would be okay. It wouldn't do to barrel in, she would have to be light footed. The cloaked girl snuck in carefully, maintaining a high level of stealth.
