Tim(othy) Drake/ Red Robin P.O.V

"Tim, p-please c-come!"

These were the last words that I had heard when chasing after the cry of Steph.

She had seemed utterly devastated to the point she had started to sob and mourn?

I do not understand.

The only thing that confuses me more than the paths of crime is...

Girls.

Girls and their odd little thoughts.

I tracked her down through the navigational systems finding her next to the prison cells.

It was an abhorrent mess.

A small body was rocking back and forth coated with a thick layer of blood coming across from the a deattached head perched a few meters away.

"N-no n-no no! why? Why not me? Its my fault!"

Stephanie's mourns echoed through the cell leaving a melancholic atmosphere behind.

Her pale fingers were coiled around a brunette's which was lying upon the now red floors.

I awkwardly tried to comfort her giving her a warm hug from behind.

"TIM! It was all my fault! My friend is dead because of my stupid actions. Only if I could s-s-save h-her."

Friend?

A prisoner?

"Elementary school Red, my best friend. The only friend who knew me too well."

Her baby blue eyes gleamed with fresh tears as she pursed her plump pink lips together.

"She was in prison because she was accused of a murder which she did not even do. And now her short juvenile life has come to an end with a goddamn blast Tim!"

Her bloody blonde hair cascaded down to her chest as her never-ending tears fell.

A few footsteps shuffled a few good meters away alarming Steph and I.

"Come on we need to go. And you still have a role to pursuit." I spoke putting most of her body weight on me.

I spotted a metal went which I had entered through.

Holding Stephanie's waist I pulled out my clawed grapple gun and aimed high bringing me into the vent.

I looked back and mentally faced palmed myself.

She was hanging off with one hand on the vent.

 Dragging her in we found our way towards the sleek bat plane.

"Oracle, we need another plan. Stephanie got caught by the unknown and killed off her friend." I said as Stephanie strolled slowly behind me.

She got changed into her batgirl gear looking more gloomier.

"Whispering I say, "She is distraught and scarred. I honestly don't know what to do know."

"Okay Red, bring her in. I'll contact the Batman and Robin." She replied with a sigh.

The trip back to the cake was awkwardly silent with the muffled sobs occurring every minute.

I entered the cave as I see Oracle with her green mask protecting her identity to the now conscious Commissioner Gordon.

"You need to go Mr. Gordon take this." Oracle replied handing a capsule.

"This should fight off the telepathic drug used by the nemesis. You need to protect Gotham now."

He nodded as Batman came in with a grand entrance.

"Nightwing, drop off Gordon"

Nightwing lead the way wrapping a blindfold around Gordon's eyes.

"Batman, the plan has unfortunately failed. The Unknown found out oddly enough."

"I'm really sorry, it was my fault! I'll stay out of the way for the next mission." Steph murmured glancing between Oracle and Batman,

"It's fine. It was a pressurizing mission and no one is sitting a mission out. It was your first mission and ofcourse there would be mistakes. Learn from it Steph. Gain back your confidence." Oracle lectured taking off her glowing green mask.

"Now by this short span of time, lets make a Plan B."
