"Go back inside Old Man," Shiva smiled with a predatory glare. "This concerns only me and my former pupil."
Robin looked at Shiva intently. "What do you want with me, Shiva?"
"To stay out of this, Little Bird," she said. "You showed the most potential of any of your predacessors. I would rather not have to defeate you as well."
Tim raised an eyebrow. Was Shiva showing... concern for him? "You know I can't stand around and do nothing while you try to murder my teammates. I wouldn't let you kill Dava. I won't let you kill Shinobi."
Shiva gave a smile. "I expected as much. It is after all, so noble of you. So white. I always hoped that one day you would one day return to me, so that we could finish our training. You'd have learned much from me. You especially proved that after our... meeting in Russia."
"I will not be your weapon Shiva," Robin spat.
"A pity," Shiva said. "I will warn you one last time Little Bird: Stay out of the fight. I do not desire to kill you, but if you interfer I shall."

Enoki sighed looking at shiva. "you have progressed shiva...perhaps you are better then me perhaps not. all i know is i will not allow my grandchild to be murdered by you. Remember this. a tiger sensing its end is near will fight feircest."

"But a hunter with the proper tools has little to fear from the tiger who is old in the tooth," Shiva shot back to Enoki, before turning back to Robin.
"Think about my words, Little Bird. And my offer." She turned and once again vanished into the night air.
Robin watched her leave and scowled. She could tell how worried Tim was for Shinobi.

"I wont ask what that was about." Enoki sighed again showing all his age. "But she is right. maybe i am too far past my own prime to fight her. but its adam who must fight her." He laughed without a bit of humor. "it seems so close that i was once thought of as the greatest martial artist in the world...now...now i cant even help keep adam alive."

"Good." Robin said to Enoki, in refrence to his past with Shiva.
He turned to looked at the martial arts master. "Shiva is the best there is," Robin said. "But she isn't unbeatable. I know you've been working on something. You've barely spoken all day. What is is?"

(Why does Robin always need to be the one have the plan? I mean sure, he always DOES have a plan, but come on... Robin might be leader, but he also can have his teamates think up strategy on occassion. A leader isn't just about giving orders afterall. Besides, Enoki is mister uber-ninja master. He's gotta have a few ideas in his head, right? Since this story is primarily Shinobi's story, it's your plan of attack. Robin is just a supporting cast member who has a bit of back-history with Shiva...)

(well enoki would create his own plan but ask the opinion of those around him too after all he might have a good plan but someone else may have a better one but i see ur point lol im used to my characters being either underdogs or on occasion reduced to sidekick status...)
"I suppose though all we can do is trust in Adam's ability..." He says cracking his knuckles behind his back as he forms his hand into a fist.

Robin nodded, but he was not convinced. Adam was good. Very good, but he was not up to Lady Shiva's skill level.
***Next Day***
Robin had not slept during the night. He could have, since Enoki had offer him a cot in the Dojo, but he could never sleep before a big battle. Even if it wasn't his fight. This may not have been a Titan matter, but Shinobi was his teammate.
Sitting on the roof of the Dojo, Tim watched the morning sun rise into the sky.
"You going to just stand their all day?" he asked aloud.

Robin nodded, as he stared out over the City. "Adam are you sure you want to face Shiva alone?" he asked at last. "There is a major chance you'll loose."
It wasn't something he was usually expected to say. Robin had always been the one Titan to say 'We can beat them' and he always seemed to have a plan.
He had gone toe to toe with Darksied and lived. He had gone with Young Justice on an invasion of an entire country of Criminals and never blinked. But this was different. This was Lady Shiva.

"dont really have a choice. if i try to get out of it she seems the type who'll kill me on the spot. and the challange was one on one. its a little bit of ego. and a little bit of honor. i gave my accaptece to the challange and i intend to follow through with it good or bad results."

"All right," Robin sighed. "We'd better go see what your Grandfather has planned before we continue your training..." Robin leapt off the rooftop, and used his cape as a parachute landing on the ground in a croutch. (Don't forget Shin, we're moving the site to a new location and stuff. Things here are getting too chaotic and so we're more or less staring from scratch, if you catch my meaning. Here is the site address if you need it... s4.invisionfree.com/YJUTT/index.php?act=idx We can finish this story here, but after we're doing everything over at the other site.)

(sounds kool t'me i was having some problems with the link fab gave me.)
Adam nodded and proved his acrobatic skills by hoping from the roof and grabbing a street light swinging to the top of it and standing strait up before backflipping off of it landing next to robin. "not bad. shoulda been cleaner on the landing though..." He judged as he opened the door. "say...you planning on staying in costume the whole time? cuz gramps is holding classes later t'day."
