You read the newspaper's headlines: THE DARK KNIGHT AND BOY WONDER STOPS CRIME.
Seriously, could these headlines get any more creative?
You've seen this headline ten times already since you started living here last month (well minus the "Boy Wonder"), and that says a lot. However the citizens doesn't seem to mind. Heck, you don't know if they even notice. Or if they even actually read the headlines. Or if they had already seen the headlines so many times, they've grown accustomed to it...?
You face-palmed. Now wasn't the time to think these.
Ugh, you were so close to getting the gem last night -- why did the Dark Knight and Boy Wonder have to spoil your fun?
Though, you wondered why all of the sudden Boy Wonder was here. Usually it was just Batman stopping you, but now, Boy Wonder joined too. Actually, yesterday was the first time you met him, and you can't help wondering if he'll be here again tonight.

You are determined to get that gem tonight. Actually, nah. You don't exactly know why you're here. Sure, you had to get the gem but at the same time, you wanted to see if Boy Wonder would be there. He was interesting, you daresay. You knew all the villains, villainess, heroes in the city...except Boy Wonder. Where did he come from? You've never heard of him before. And he just -- appeared behind you yesterday without your expectation. Usually Batman would confront you himself, which was what you were expecting. Not some 'Boy Wonder' to kick you from behind.
Which was why you were here in Gotham Public Library. You needed -- had to -- know more. And no, you weren't going to read up about Boy Wonder from dusty, old, falling apart books. Nope, you were going to use their state-of-the-art computers (courtesy of Wayne Technologies).
You sat at the desk that was secluded from everyone else's. It was way to the back of the library, a lonely desk all by itself. You booted up the laptop and went to Google, keying in Boy Wonder. About 43,700,000 results in 0.37 seconds. Huh. Not bad. You clicked on the first link you found that wasn't about the movie, and started reading.

So apparently 'Boy Wonder' goes by 'Robin' -- yes, the Robin from Young Justice team. It was stated Robin still returns to Gotham to assist Batman when he really needed his sidekick, or when things got "too dangerous".
Huh. Wonder what got so "dangerous" this time.
You stared at the beautiful gem in your hand. It was the first ever: a mixture of amethyst, diamond, ruby and sapphire. Many people thought it'd turn out horrible but, it actually turned out to be the most beautiful gem ever and bids went up to as high as two million. Or so you'd heard. Anyway the point is, you would definitely be able to sell it at a way higher price. You used you diamond knife and cut out a piece of glass, big enough for your hand to slip through but small enough to not trigger the alarm system.
"I have better things to do."
You whipped around, shocked. However your shock slowly faded away and you smirked. You reached in, pulling the gem out effortlessly. "Where's daddy bats?" you cooed.
Robin scowled, pulling out his staff-thing. Was it called a bo-staff or something...? You ducked effortlessly and the staff sliced the air above you. "What's the hurry?" you said loudly, taking out your stilettos as you jumped back and back flipped over him. "Can't wait to finish me and leave?" You jumped out of the way again. "Last time I remembered, you didn't take things so quick. Thought we're going steady."
