I don't own anything, but the twins, triplets, and Liza.


January 13th:

Tim:

Tim, or better known as Red Robin at the moment, was perched on the edge of a building stalking a man, a petty criminal. Three months ago, October 24th, that petty criminal killed a rich couple who was doing charity work in Crime Alley. The murder of this couple was petty even for those of the likes of Park Row and the man who murdered them was named Rudy Sanders, a guy who's been taking control of Crime Alley and trying to snuff out all the hope. The couple he killed were, Juliet and Ethan Lauren, and the day they were killed that had their four year old daughter, Riley Lauren, with them.

Riley was the main reason why Tim was after the guy, she was missing which unsettled Tim, but not as much as it unsettled him that she was Stephanie Brown's biological daughter. When Stephanie died, Bruce had promised that her child would want nothing growing up, so he gave her daughter to the Laurens and kept tabs on them and so did Tim. Now, Riley was missing and the last person to have seen the now five year old was her adoptive parents' murderer.

Tim didn't move a muscle as he sat like a hawk and watched Rudy walk into an alley way to smoke. He then made his move and jumped from his spot and landed in front of Rudy and he backed away and dropped his cigarette out of surprise. "Rudy Sanders, you killed the Laurens and will pay for your crime," Tim growled grabbing the man and shoved him into the wall.

"So what I killed a rich couple, what you going to do send me to Black Gate?" Rudy asked in a sneering tone which got him a quick punch to the nose from Tim.

"They had a little girl with them, where is she!" Tim demanded.

"I should I know I just shot the couple and left the brat," Rudy snapped and Tim glared and punched him and knocked him out. He was not happy that Rudy had been telling the truth, but he still felt good punching him. Tim then sighed and alerted the Commissioner about the take down of this guy and he waited for Gordon to show up.

When Gordon shocked up he walked towards him and said,"He doesn't know where Riley Lauren is if you happen to find her call me immediately," and he left and went back to his apartment. Once he was there he changed out of his costume and took a shower, before getting dressed in pajamas and going to bed.

A lot had changed for Tim in a month, Liza left and hasn't called anyone, Jason didn't let the twins go anywhere without him and moped over Liza, and he moved out of Jason's house. Tim sighed at the thought as he lied in bed thinking about all of it and rolled over and let sleep claim him.


Tim woke up the next morning to his phone ringing so he got up and answered it. "Hello?" he asked curiously.

"Tim, we found her, we have down at the station," Gordon said over the phone and Tim was onto his feet quickly.

"I'll be right there," Tim said and hung up and got dressed and ready for the day as quick as he could and grabbed his car keys and rushed out of his apartment. He then took the elevator to lobby and rushed to his car and got in and drove to the down to the police station and parked. Tim then exited his car and walked into the station and was greeted by the Commissioner.

"Where is she?" Tim asked.

"In a holding sell by herself," Gordon said grimly.

"Why?" Tim questioned.

"She was found being a decoy for a group of street rats robbing a store," Gordon said.

"Okay, but why is she in a holding cell, she's five," Tim said.

"She bit Harvey," Gordon said and he walked to the cell and opened it for Tim and he walked in.

"Riley, you got a visitor," Gordon said as Tim walked in and the Commissioner closed the door behind him leaving the two alone. Tim then walked to the corner the little girl was sitting in and he sat down in front of her on the floor.

"Who are you?" Riley asked looking up at Tim as he took in her appearance, she had Stephanie's blonde hair, she was paler though, thin from her months on the streets, and had dark blue eyes.

"I'm Timothy Drake, but most people call me Tim," Tim said, he could tell that her months on the street has changed her just by the glare she was giving him.

"What do you want?" she asked glaring at him.

"Well, I hope to be able to take you home, a new home that is," Tim said.

"They, wont let you do that I'm a bad guy," Riley said looking away.

"I'll admit being a decoy for thieving kids and biting a cop is bad, but you're five, Riley. Though I can tell by your speech your smarter then most your age, so you'll understand me what I ask, would you like to have a new home?" Tim asked and Riley glanced at him.

"It's better then foster care," Riley admitted and Tim stood up taking that as a yes.

"You might be in a foster home for a few weeks at the most, Riley, until I can get everything ready and get custody of you in court," Tim said looking down at her.

"Whatever," Riley said looking away and Tim walked to the door and was let out. He then left for his car, he had to go home and make a few calls.
