In a hidden shrine, just outside of Tokyo was where the JLA had hidden their Japan teleporter. The hummed to life as Robin and Shinobi were teleported in.
Robin stepped out a took a calming breath. The 'porters always made him feel a little light headed.
"So where is this priest you were talking about?" Robin asked rasing a eyebrow over his wrap-around sunglasses.

"Well robin ise jingu is (i dont remember where exactly but i think its a ways away from tokyo)" After getting into tokyo the two hear what sounds like a scream from a nearby allyway and Adam (Shinobi) true to his nature rushes in to check it out seeing two teenage boys around a girl of the same age one holding i knife and the girl holding shreds that used to be her top. ~Holy crap!~ One says in japanese(duh) ~i thought it was the cops.~ ~Yeah but they could still tell the police.~ ~They could but,~ He said putting one hand over the one of teh girls breasts. ~We could come to a nice agreement maybe teh Gaijin want to join in on the fun.~ Shinobi wasnt sure how much Japanese Robin knew but figured he was getting the idea from the scene around them. ~Appearently then you think it'll be fun to hit my fist with your faces.~ ~WHAT WAS THAT!~ The one brandishing the knife yells. ~be smart and let her go or i'll hurt you increadibly badly.~ "That is it!~ They both yell charging Shinobi each trying to punch him He easily avoids the first punch then kicks the attacker in the shin as said attacker starts jumping up and down the one with the knife tries to thrust it into him Adam simply smacks his wrist and the back of his hand with balled fists and he does that sending the knife away followed by grapping both of them and repeatedly slamming them into each other by the side of there heads until they pass out. "Not eaven worth the minimal effort i put into that fight." Shinobi comments then take soff his t-shirt showing the wife beater underneath it. ~here you need this a bit more then i do~ He says tossing it too her and after he and robin make sure she's okay they get a cab to ise jingu. (im assuming that robin's gonna want to do something in this post so im not doing ise jingu yet)

"All yours," Robin said with a smile.
It was really sad the way the two crooks tried to attack Shinobi. As Shinobi knocked the knife out of the attackers hand, Robin easily caught it as he would a batarang and sighed. The knife they had used was obviously stole considering it still had a price tag on it.
As Shinobi took care of the crooks Robin went over to check on the young lady.
"~Are you all right?~" Robin asked in Japanese. His accent was terrible, but still understandable.
~"I-I think so.."~ she said gently, but Robin could see a small cut in the girls neck.
"~Let me look at that,~" Robin said pulling some anticeptic pads and bandages from his utility belt. As he was about to touch her neck she flinched. "~It's all right. We're friends.~" Once he had dressed the wound he smiled at the girl.
"~It wasn't deep, but it might need some stitches. Can you stand?~"
The girl nodded slowly.
"~Whats your name?~"
"~Lynn~"
"~Lynn, do live close by?~" She shook her head.
"~I am visiting the city. I live out in the country.~" Robin nodded and helped Lyn to her feet, she almost fell over.
"Shinobi," Robin said in english. "Keep an eye on her while I call the police." As he transfered the girl to Shinobi's arms, he took out his plasti-cuff and tied up the crooks and then hailled the police on his com-link.
Soon the police arrived, and began taking statements. Robin allowed Shinobi and the young girl do the talking. Even though he wasn't in costume it was hard not to break the cycle of staying in the shadows.
As they talked Robin called a taxi to come and get them.

"All right Adam," Robin replied. As the police took the crooks in custody, Robin noticed the cab pull up around the corner. He turned back Lynn.
"~Are you going to be all right miss?~" Robin asked gently.
"~I-I'll be all r-right..." she said nervously.
Robin nodded and turned back to Adam. "Let's drop her by the hospital and then we can go find your priest."

"Nice place," Robin remarked. "Early 15th century I'd guess. Batman told me he trained in these sort of temples when he was training here." He adjusted his sunglasses.
"Shall we go in?" Robin asked waving a hand to the entrance of the temple.

"Yes but dont. touch. anything." Adam warns. as the two enter the shrine they enter into an enourmus room with statues of various kami surrounding them (im guessing what it looks like). Adam soon found an elderly preist and began conversing with him in japanese he soon motioned for both people to follow him. He lead them into a small room and began speaking again ~A demon. What is requierd is a powerful demon ward...many of them if the man is as powerful as you assume...these wards were created by a powerful preist and may be of use to you.~ The priest says pointing to a small glass box with about seven wards in it.

As the elderly man led the two Titans through the temple, Robin had the uneasy feeling that they were being followed, but yet no one seemed to be in the area aside from them. "Things aren't always what they seem," the Teen Wonder thought to himself.
The elderly man explained about the wards, Robin studied them. He never much cared for magiks. Too often the occult would lead them to problems.
Again Robin got the uneasy feeling of being watched, his had reached for his bo staff in his leather jacket.

"DOWN!" Robin shouted shoving both the priest and Shinobi down to the ground. There was a hiss of air and two holes appeared in the wall, just where the priest's head had been. Robin looked up and saw a black clad man, holding a riffle in his arms in a small window up on what could be called the second story. He gave Robin a mock salute and jumped out. "See to the priest!" Robin shouted to Adam, extending his fighting staff to full lenght. He raced outside and searched for the attacker. He could heard movement in the north, and took chase. Grabbing a hold of a low tree branch, Robin vaulted himself into the thick trees and began to leap from branch to branch. Soon he had over taken the assasin and jumped to block his way. "~That wasn't very nice you know,~" Robin growled. "~Mind your own buisness American and I will let you live,~" the assasin responded. "~Yeah... Well... See the thing is, I can't do that Now be a nice gun toting maniac and turn yourself in.~" "~Then perpare to meet your ancestors!~" "~Wow, what movie did you still that line from?~" The assasin pulled a small hand gun out and took aim at the Teen Wonder. But his draw wasn't fast enough. Robin threw his trademarked "R" shaped throwing star that embeded itself in the Assasin's hand forcing him to drop his gun. "~First blood is yours American!~" he growled, while pulling the throwing star from his hand and throwing it at the vigilante. Robin easily ducked the attack and leapt to sidekick the assasin in the face. The black-clad man then threw his hands out and three metalic claws leapt from each hand. He slashed at Robin, who backflipped out of the attack. Robin continued to lead the assasin towards him until his back was against a tree. "~Now is when you die!~" he threw his clawed hand at Robin. Robin ducked quickly and the claw went into the tree's trunk. Quickly Robin's hand flew up and struck the man in the extended arm right where the elbow would bend. The was a loud pop and Robin dislocated the man's arm. "~Now is when you sing like a canary!~" Robin quiped. He pulled the man away from the tree, and the assasins hands slipped out of his gloves. "~Who sent you?~" Robin growled. "~A story for another time, American...~" It was then that Robin noticed the handgun was next to the assasin. Before he could react the assasin had grabbed the gun, pointed it at his own head and-- >BLAM< Robin's stared down at the body for a few moments and finally stepped forward. He noticed a small tatoo on the dead man's arm. Turning the body over, he tried to not react at what was left of the man's head. He rolled up the man's sleeve and studied the tatoo. "The League of Assasins." Robin whispered in a tired voice. And with that he returned to the Temple.

"He's dead." Robin replied.
Although Shinobi couldn't see it with his eyes behind the dark, reflective sunglasses, Robin was in pain. No matter if it was an friend or foe, someone had died and Robin had failed to stop it.
"He was a member of the League of Assasins."

"The League of Assasins is a select group of the world's greatest killers, led by Ra's Al Ghul, though he never takes an actual hand in the assasinations. The are the best there is, but they pride themselves in almost no one knows they exist. When they take out a contract they are required to carry out said assasination. Very few fail, but should they fail to kill their target or get caught, they are pledged to end their own lives. But they only take out contracts for a very special price." Robin lean up against the wall and crossed his arms.
"We're getting close to something if someone is willing to contact the League of Assasins."
