Chapter one-The Chase

Robin ran hard, jumping from roof top to roof top, the rain drenching his clothes and hair. He had to catch them, they were after Starfire and he had to find out why. Somewhere along the way he had lost his target and stopped to catch his breath. Wiping his hair out of his face, he waited for lightning to streak across the sky in order to see his surroundings better. Leaning against a nearby wall he could feel his heart beating a mile a minute and heaved his next several breaths in an attempt to calm his nerves.

There had been an ambush. He immediately concluded they weren't the normal "run of the mill" villains they usually fought against. They were definitely not from earth. When the two individuals approached Starfire and him she was the first to notice and became defensive. Her initial reaction made him wonder if she knew them as she faced them defiantly, eyes glowing in anger. There had been some words exchanged in an alien language he didn't understand. Before he could ask her what was going on the duo charged them with their weapons raised. Starfire reacted quickly fighting them off. Robin attempted to contact the other Titans when there was another attack from behind. A purple blast hit his communicator causing it to explode into pieces.

This third attacker was standing on a nearby building, their cloak concealing their face. Robin quickly reached into his belt for his grappling gun as the individual took off running.

"Star. call the others!" He shouted before heading to the rooftop.

By the time he stopped he was several blocks away from where Starfire was. He wondered how long it would be before the other Titans would arrive. Until then hopefully the two of them could hold their opponents off. Robin heard something behind him and turned quickly catching sight of the one attacker. Getting a better look at them, he noticed they were also wearing a mask under the hooded cloak as well as full body armor. It was hard to tell in the dark but the individuals slim figure made him wonder if it was a woman under the disguise.

Before he could analyse the situation any further, the attacker flew up several inches before charging in his direction. He managed to dodge before they collided, landing on his palm and hand springing himself back up on his feet. His opponent turned back to him just as a nylon rope to wrap around them forcing their hands down at their sides. He couldn't help but grin at his success at capturing them so easily. "Now you're going to tell me why you're after Starfire." His demand did not get the response he was expecting as the culprit started to snicker at him, the mask concealing their real voice as well as their identity. He moved towards them and pulled at the mask covering their face, surprised at what he found,. "What? It's you?" With a maniacal grin, he got his answer.

"Who said I'm after Starfire?"
