Harm then looks at Robin. "Thanks for backing me up. Even if I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it."

"Don't make me regret it," Robin said.
"You'll have limited access to the Tower's systems. No defense, Weapons or access to the vehicles without one of the other Titans close by. Understood? Good."
With that Robin left the room.

Robin left the War Room and began to walk around the Tower. He felt bad for brushing of Freddy, but he didn't have time for conversation with CM3 during the meeting with Fite and Madd.
He was still thinking about the conversation he had on the phone with Rachel back in Gotham. He hoped that she was well.

CM3 sees Robin wandering, thoughtful.
"Hey, Robin. What was that all about?"

"Oh hey," Robin replied. "You mean with the spooky goth-looking kid and the guys in the suits...?"
"Well, it's complicated..." Robin began. "See a few weeks ago, we found the kid unconcious outside the Tower. His name is Billy, but he is also called Harm. He's... well... I guess you could call him a recovering super-villian."

"I don't think 'complicated' is the right word. More like 'Days of our lives'...ish" Says CM3 with a half smile.

"Yeah, well you don't know the half of it. See Harm a few years ago killed his little sister Greta in order to recieve demonic powers. His sister became Secret. You remember her right?
"We fought against Harm more than once and he pulled alot of very henious crimes. He tired to kill Pope John Paul II." He sighed. "I know that he deserves to go to prision for his crimes, but if he decided to go back to his old life... well it won't be pretty."
"So I made a deal with the A.P.E.S." He noticed Freddy lift an eyebrow. "The All Purpose Eforcemant Squad. Those were two of their agents Don Fite and Ish Madd. The Titans will take responisbility of Harm and rehabilitate him. Assuming he can be."
"See what I mean about it being complicated?"

"Well, after spending a lot of time with Captain Ma-- You know who. I sorta got ‘contaminated’ by his blind optimism. I believe that everyone can change. Regardless of their background, but I can see where you came from. That’s one heck of a choice. To be honest, I don’t envy your position right now, Robin."
CM3 folder his arms.
“But I think this is what being leader is all about right? Making tough choices and all? I trust you, man. And I think you made the right one in this case.”

"Thanks," Robin said with a nod. He could just hope that he didn't live to regret it. Robin was putting alot on faith here. He sometimes wished that he had the optimism that people like CM3 had. But it seemed that part of being a member of the Bat-clan meant to expect the worse.
"So how are you settling into things here?" Robin asked changing the subject. It was still too early for his meeting with Shinobi about Frey. He might as well get to know his new teammate better.

"So far so good... I was thinking about 'applying' for the Titans for a while. I was looking forward to spend some time away from Fawcett City..."

"I can relate," Robin said. "Try imagining spending all your time in Gotham AND with Batman..." Robin adjusted his gloves as he spoke. "It's nice to have some place to go other than the Cave or Bludhaven."

CM3 laughs. "I know what you mean. Here we don't have that constant feeling that someone is always on your back. Watching your every move and JUST waiting for a chance to criticize you..."

"No kidding," Robin said. "Though for me it isn't the critiques Batman gives but the looks. That guy can seriously make you feel like mud below his boots, with just one look." Robin sat down on the couch in the media room and reached for the remote.
"Though I never thought Bil- I mean Captain Marvel would be that bad. I've met him a few times. Seems like a nice guy."

"he is a nice guy. But he's still the 'leader' of the 'Marvel Family'. The first. The chosen one. That gets to ya in some level. Superman is a nice guy too, but I bet he has his 'moments' as well. Probably not like Batman, but still..."

"You've got that right," Robin said with a half smile.
Over his time as Robin, Tim had gotten to know Clark Kent/Superman. They weren't anywhere as close as Dick Grayson was with his former "Uncle Clark," but Superman was still a great guy.
But even he could sometimes channel a Batman-like lecture when provoked. Robin had been on the revieving end of those twice during his time with Young Justice. Nothing compared to Kon-El had probably been through though, he'd bet.
(Well I'm outta here. Later.)
