After that he went to the body and turned him around. He lowered the cloak's hood not surprised to meet the ice cold stare of a dead man.
Familiar...
Even Artemis almost threw up at this sight.
"By the distance it must be a professional, yet he risked a headshot, instead of aiming at the torso...", he started thinking out loud ignoring his teams horrified expressions.
"Dude!", Kid Flash examined.
"...so why risking to miss unless you are Deadshot...", he continued ignoring his team shocked over obviously talking to the sharp shooter right now.
The bird slowly started to scare the others.
"...except... it was a silencing mission, that's it!", Robin examined almost happily that he answered the question and turned around facing the body,
"Couldn't keep your mouth shut, did you?"
This words, spoken so lightly, left a theoretical brandmark in the team's minds.
How could a thirteen year old boy say that without any emotion. Robin almost seemed sociopathic. Luckily he wasn't. Or... Was he?
Not even a second after the Robin said this words the Batman arrived also out of the shadows.
"What. happened?", he asked with his usual gruff voice.
Suddenly every team member minus Robin started to tell the bat their version of the story.
All at the same time.
So it was impossible for anybody to understand a word.
"Enough!", Batman roared giving his best bat glare and turning to the team's leader.
"Aqualad, report. Now!"
Soon Aqualad started to inform him of everything that happened in the last thirty minutes.
Nobody, not even a certain speedster, dared to speak up now. The shock was still too intense.
"I understand", Batman said and turned to Robin, "Forensic report?"
"Assassination mission to silence this asset, Tried to kill himself with what I suppose cyanide but got shot before. He was definitely an amateur. His...", he pointed to the body, "...mission unknown"
Batman, who was, by the way, the best detective in the world, narrowed his eyes.
"Did you know this man?", he asked his protege suspiciously.
"No", the answer came out a little bit to fast.
"Fine, I'll handle this from now on, team dismissed", he said and turned away.
"Hey! What's this?", Megan sniffled (she started to cry) pointing to a piece of paper clipped to the dead man's belt.
At the sight of this paper Robin just closed his eyes hoping for a miracle.
Batman curiously picked the paper up and unfolded it.
With each fold Robin's heard skipped a beat.
He opened it and read it. Well he tried and passed it wordlessly over to his protege.

There was a blue feather strapped to the letter.
It had something mysterious...
Dick's eyes widened under the mask but luckily nobody could notice. The Batman hopefully included.
"It has to be Arabic, but this dialect is odd... it's not used anymore", the boy replied to his mentor.
"Can you read it?"
"I'm afraid not"
Batman took the letter and sighed gruffly glancing at the team. He then sighed again.
"Take the day tomorrow off. Black Canary will be at the mountain with you, dismissed!"
