GOTHAM CITY,
11:25 PM CENTRAL TIMERobin sat perched on a rooftop. The heavy rain wet his black hair. Water droplets rolled from his jawline to the ground. It was a slow night for his patrol. A few muggers, and one man tried breaking into a liquor store. It seemed as if Gotham was getting better.
No. Never think that. He reminded himself.
Suddenly someone landed beside him. He knew it was Superboy.
"How's the brooding going tonight?" Superboy laughed.
Robin responded to him with a grunt.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Metropolis?" Robin asked looking at the other boy.
Superboy leaned against a gargoyle.
"It's quiet tonight, I didn't see anything." Superboy shook his hair to get the rain out.
"It's quiet here too, I don't like that." Robin squinted and looked through his binoculars.
"I don't like that." Superboy mimics in a deep voice.
"TT" Robin looked at Superboy.
Suddenly the building began to shake almost causing Robin to lose his balance. Superboy grabbed the gargoyle to stop it from falling below.
A green glow zoomed across the night sky. Robin and Superboy watched it. As the glow went further and further away the rumbling stopped.
"What was that?" Superboy asked.
"Let's find out."

Superboy carried Robin towards the green glow. They watched it crash into a parking lot of supermarket. Superboy dropped Robin close to the ground and flew close to it.
"Wait it could be dangerous," Robin shouted.
Superboy ignored Robin and looked inside. It was a small spaceship-an escape pod. It was the shape of an egg. It was purple with black alien writing. There was a glass screen that was now partially cracked.
Robin stood beside Superboy and looked inside.
"Open it." Robin breathed.
Superboy grabbed the top of the pod and ripped it off its latch. He threw it across the parking lot. Robin got out his flashlight and looked at the panel.
"What language is that?" Superboy asked.
"Don't know. Looks familiar though." Robin answered shortly.
The pod was bigger on the inside. Robin slid inside and Superboy watched him. Robin looked up at him; flashing his flashlight at him.
"You coming?" Robin asked.
