[RL, Slade & Robin] Like a Whisper to the Dusk
Tim was entirely aware that he should be talking this over with Dick. He knew that Wilsons were really Nightwing's territory - even Rose, who was Tim's generation, had only become one of his Titans because Dick asked it of him. Though he'd on occasion wished he had said no, Tim knew it was good for her, drunken midnight assaults aside. It was good for her like it had been good for Joey...till the guy went crazy, anyway.
He should really talk to Nightwing about this one.
But Wilson had run into him, and Tim took it damn seriously. Maybe too seriously. He was being too stubborn about this. Even knowing all this, Tim found himself requesting the world-hop, carefully keeping it under the radar. He didn't know Jump City. He had never heard of it before Grant's appearance, and was as suspicious of it as the man who first mentioned it.
It was a strange place, but no stranger than Gotham. It held a grid pattern, it was easy to navigate - and there were plenty of rooftops and alleys to hide in. Cakewalk. It seemed like a quiet town - though anything would seem like a quiet town, compared to Gotham now - but then a distant explosion caught his attention. Tim crouched on his ledge, squinting. In the distance, he could see - what the hell - a heavy duty truck lifting off the road, thrown away. Shit. He shouldn't get involved, he had a job to do, but...
It didn't take long to slip closer, but by the time he was near enough to see what was going on, there were other people on the scene. Other people he - he almost recognized...
Oh, fuck. The Teen Titans. Oh fuck, Titans he knew. And in the distance, he could see - what the hell - Titans Tower. It looked like the New York version.
Tim turned around and got the hell out of the area, fast and silent. They had things under control and he...well. He didn't want to deal with the insanity. What the hell were Titans doing in this ridiculously named city? And they looked like Dick's Titans only - well he hadn't seen Donna, or Wally. Roy and Garth were absent, but that wasn't entirely out of the ordinary. Still. Still.
They weren't the reason he was here. He was here to figure out if Grant Wilson was dead or not. Making his way to City Hall wasn't too difficult. Everything was...really clearly labeled here. Still, it wasn't a place he knew well. So Tim found a perch above, on an adjacent building, to scope the building out, searching for security, exits and entrances. There wasn't much going on, it wouldn't be hard to get in and out of. He was stalling. Why was the real question.
