A shadow leapt from balcony to roof and from that roof to another. It's noises silent to anyone around as it sneakily flew across the urban landscape as nothing more than a flash of black.

The busy street life covered the shadow well but also gave it many opportunities for unwanted attention, and trust as I say, the attention is most unwanted. This part of the city was rarely visited by any of the city's heroes, it was a fairly high class area which attributed to the low crime and thriving night life. However, tonight it would be the the place of an important opportunity, knew the shadow that stopped on the ledge of a modern-esque building looking down at the oblivious people. Walking around, talking, without a care in the world. Tonight was a night finality for the young shadow.

It started on a sprint as to jump swiftly to the next building when the sound of a radio frequency stopped it. "Robin, where are you?" A rough, angered voice sounded through the radio connected to the boy's ear. Robin scowled, he didn't need this distraction, he needed to find him. "Chasing after a mad-man, as usual for us." He responded, his voice just as soft as his run. He jumped off the ledge and rolled as he cane down on another smaller building. His lip twitched up slightly at finally seeing what he had been after, a small figure that stood in an alleyway only a couple streets down.

With a twitch of anticipation he moved closer until another call through the radio came in, "Robin, don't tell me you've gone after Kasady." The older man's voices grudges in annoyance, as if this was a usual occurrence. The young boy's silence was an answer enough as the man grumbled again, "We've been through this, Dr.Kasady is a dangerous criminal who we know little about, you can't just go after him yourself."

The boy rolled his eyes before focusing on the figure as it turned and watched a van come to a stop in-front of him and a burly man came out. The shadowed figure in the alley seemed to be in a deep conversation and Robin's eyes narrowed at the situation, he hadn't really been expecting that. "Tt, why can't I stop him once and for all, he is in front of me as we speak, I can film him here or take him out right here without anyone seeing, as I should, for all those people, children he's taken. For all the things he's done. I'm going to get evidence against him, he'll go to jail and this'll all be over." With that he took the microphone out of his ear and threw it on the ground, stomping on it for good measure.

The burly man laughed loudly at something the man said, it was a deep noice that seem to come down from a warm place but he couldn't let the good-natured laugh distract him from who he was talking to.

Dr. Kasady was a world class smuggler who had been involved in many cases of kidnap and in human and meta human experimentation. Murder too, most likely, if he was honest.

But no one could prove it. It was as light as day, as clear as ice. It was there. He was there. Anyone with half a brain could be able to tell that all those cases of missing foster kids in the nearby churches or the bodies dumped by Gotham Bay with several needle pricks on them were clearly by him. Although it was obvious, no one could prove him guilty, he would stand in court with a smirk on his face as the judge ruled him innocent. It grated heavily on Damian's nerves, not just him though the whole family. Tim would stay awake for days on end trying to find evidence, any evidence, but always came out disoriented, frustrated, and in need of medical attention.

Damian stealthily climbed down the side of the building, jumping silently of a pile of trash below, as he neared closer to the two men their voices became clearer.

"Now, now, I gotta thank you, Mr. Kasady. If it weren't for you, my latest cargo wouldn't have left the bay as easy as it did. You are definitely as good as my mates said you were." The fat man said in a low voice, smiling menacingly. It was obvious he smoked frequently judging by his gruff voice and yellow stained teeth, Damian deduced quickly and sneered. He'd have to tell Dick to lecture Jason about the effects of smoking, again. He couldn't be seen out in public with someone like that.

Damian turned on the small camera in the middle of his mask. This could be it, he could finally find evidence and put this man in prison were he belonged. He smirked as adrenaline pumped through his veins, he hoped the camera wouldn't pick up the sound of his loud beating heart.

"No, it's quite fine, Mr. Archibald. Your situation interested me quite a bit, so I had a good enough time, " Kasady said in a posh British accent and smiled before looking down at his phone and sighing, "I'm quite sorry, Mr.Archibald, but it seems that our little conversation will have to be cut short."

Archibald eyebrows rose up in surprise before he smirked, licking his teeth. "Oh it's quite alright, doc. This is fantastic really, I've been wanting for awhile now to see you in action." He muttered, laughing insanely.

Damian stopped in his steps, tilting his head confusedly. A shiver ran up his back as he watched the duo laugh with a rather unsettling smile. He froze completely at hearing his next words.

"Yes, I bet you would. It seems we have a little peeping Tom in our midst, Mr. Archibald. A little birdy, a curious cat, a sneaky snake." Kasady whispered under his breath, looking right at the shadowed corner Robin crouched frozen and smiled softly.

"Oh no. Oh no no no, this won't do. No, not at all," he tutted, looking down feigning sadness before looking back up and grinning. He snapped his fingers and said, "Cesar, Nicholas, bring our little uninvited guest to me."

At that, Damian stung up and turned to run away but smashed into something and fell, he looked up to find two muscular men in dark suits looking down at him. He gritted his teeth, 'damnit', he didn't want to be seen. This was supposed to be an easy enough mission. He jumped up and pushed the goon on the left in his stomach, he groaned but sidestepped a kick he sent to his side. He felt hands grab his cape and yank him back down. He flipped backwards and kicked the guy in the face, he jumped on the back of the goon left standing and choked him. The goon elbowed him as he huffed and struggled to hold on. He let out a small cry as he managed to get a grip on his arm and rip him off, sending a punch to his ribs which left him gasping for air and falling again.

He felt hands everywhere pushing him down as he hissed a twisted shouting, "Let me go!" He tried to get up again but the hands him prevented any movements, he felt a prick on the side of his neck and gasped.

Robin looked towards his neck and saw a needle sticking into him, and squirmed harder against the force on his chest. The drug working its way into his system began to work as he gritted his teeth as he felt the world sway around him and colors seemed to be bright and changing.

He felt the force let up and tried to move but his arms and legs seemed to weigh a hundred pounds. His breathing became erratic as he realized the situation. 'This can't be happening,' he thought or rather said aloud.

"Oh it can, and it is. Pity really. I'd expected you to put up a better fight, this was just too easy," Kasady laughed, looking down at his drugged body tauntingly, "It seems like you've made a big mistake, birdy. But it's all good, I've been wanting to get my hands on you for ages, and now here you are, pliant and willing."

Damian sneered and wished he could say something but it seemed like he didn't have the energy to speak anymore, or stay awake really. His vision darkened as he watched the smirking doctor above him smile and he closed his eyes.

"Night, night birdy."
