The New Teen Titans

00:00 OCT 15TH 2013 BATCAVE

Batgirl

"No!" Batman ordered again as he examined a rifle shell that we'd picked up from a recent mob murder in Bludhaven.

"He's your son and he might be dead!" I shouted, forcibly turning his chair around so that we were eye to eye.

"Highly unlikely," he said, looking at the case that he still had in-between his gloved fingers.

"Can't you focus on something other than your case for five seconds!?" I demanded, glaring down at the Bat.

"Fine, but I already told you, this is a Titans case," he said, turning back around and putting the shell on the scanning table.

"I heard the speech, but he's a member of this teem too still isn't he?" I asked, walking around to have a better look of what was visible of the surely mans face.

"No he's not," he said simply, looking at the scanned case alongside a dozen other ones that looked almost identical to it.

"How can you sa..."

"But you're apart of his," Batman cut me off, a slight smirk tugging at his lips. "Take the Batcycle, I won't need it."

"Thank you!" I said, hugging him around the neck before grabbing my cowl and pulling it over my face. "Wait, who are you gonna get to help you on patrol?"

"I think it's time Jason tried on one of Dicks old uniforms," he answered, putting the bullet scan in a file that my Cowl blocked me from viewing on the screen.

"Try not to be too hard on him," I said before jumping over the railing and gliding down to the vehicle hub and hopping on the Batcycle.

"I ran the search, and there have been four thefts that fit Deathstrokes M.O. in the two months that Robin's been missing," I told Batgirl, bringing up a map with the locations of the robberies labeled on it.

"Did any of them have surveillance?" she asked, standing behind my chair.

"The first one does, but the more recent ones were hacked just before the robbery," I answered, pulling up the feed from the first one. Four images came up on screen. The first one was of the entrance to a science facility before three men in full military gear shot the camera and two security guards. The next camera showed the same men firing on three more security guards before the one at the head wearing a steal helmet placed some form of explosive on the door and walked away seconds before it exploded, knocking out the remaining three cameras.

"Wow, this group doesn't seem to be the stealthiest," she said, sitting in the computer chair next to mine. "Have there been any survivors from the more recent attacks?"

"The two after this only had a few, but more recently everyones been surviving," I answered, pulling up a few statements from the victims.

"That's a pretty drastic change," she said, looking at a few of the statements. "It says that there was a fourth member on the second and third robberies, and only one person seen in the last one."

"Quite, and baste on reports he seems to be the same man in all cases," I said, reading over one of the files.

"I'm getting the same idea," she said, pulling the map back onto the screen, multiple other locations added on. "Now the red marks all the places that have been robbed, and the green is all the places that might be."

"How did you figure that one out?" I asked, looking over at the cowled girl whom i'd been working with the past three days.

"I just looked at all the places they've stolen from and noticed they were science facilities working on new technology, be it software or hardware," she said, typing a few more things into the computer. "Now all we need to do is find the most logical combination of these components and we'll know which locations they'll steal from next."

"I'll leave that to you," I said, standing up and beginning to walk back to the hallway. "I'm not exactly the most knowledgable about new inventions."

"Okay, i'll see you in the morning," Batgirl said just before the alarm went off and one of the lights on the screen began flashing. "Or we could just go to Wayne Enterprises."

"Titans, Go!" We yelled in unison before heading to the elevator.

I slid down the thick metal cord that was attached to my grappling gun before I lifted the glass cover to the new long range none lethal laser head that Bruce had been developing for the Batmobile when the alarm began blaring.

"I thought you said that you'd turned off the alarm!" I heard Ravager yell in my ear as I dropped down onto the floor now that the lights were on. I ran out of the room just as a guard almost struck my head before I shocked him in the gut with my escrima stick. Another guard came up to me on the other side before I kicked him off to the side. I ran to the balcony of the building before I was kicked in by what looked like Batgirls black boots.

I stood up and saw the Titans following Batgirl in through the window, about to punch me in the face before I through down my smoke bomb and zapped the side of Batgirls face before running off to my left. I ran down the hallway ducking and dodging various guards before I made it to the stairs and was able to climb onto the roof.

I ran across the building, about to jump off when the cowl i'd designed was torn off my face, forcing me to turn around and look at Batgirl, my face now entirely bare. "Dick?" she asked, her eyes obviously wide, even through her cowl.

"I'm sorry," I said, pulling the cowl back over my face before looking back at the other Titans.

"Detonate the charges," Ravager said in my ear. "Don't worry 'Dick,' your little friends will be fine, just a little shaken up, now push the button."

"Yes sir," I said before jumping backwards off the roof, and pushing a small button on my glove, a large explosion blowing up the roof.
