Robin stood in the War Room awaiting his guests. Because of everything that happened with Falcon, his meeting with Fite and Madd had been held up. Thankfully Fite and Madd had been forced to return to A.P.E.S Headquarters, and they didn't have time to apprehend Harm. But now that everything had been sorted out, Fite and Madd were returning to take Harm. Robin decided this was the best time to set his plan in motion, though he wished he was free to spend this time with Falcon and return with her and Dick Grayson to Gotham. Nightwing had offered to assist Robin with Fite and Madd, considering that he had gone though the samething with his own group of Titans and the assasin known as Deathstroke. Yet, Robin declined. He needed to do this on his own. So he set up a private meeting between Fite, Madd, Harm and himself. Still, he had doubts about this. Harm was a dangerous opponent, and he still had could be. Robin's best choice was to offer the A.P.E.S. deal. Harm would be assigned under a court of law, the responsibility of the Titans This was a long shot, and truth be told, Robin would feel safer with Harm locked away never to be free to see light again. But the fact was he knew what Harm was capable of. Sending him to prision might be just the excuse Harm needed to return to his evil ways. But should he be with the Titans, he could be rehabilitated and Robin would be able to keep a closer eye on him. Earlier this morning Robin and Falcon had met privately with Harm. The three of them went over what Robin had planned, and what was expected from Harm. Basically, Harm was to remain respectful to Fite and Madd, as well as Robin and to avoid instigating another incident like the one before. Now Robin sat in his chair at the head of the "T" shaped table, awaiting the remaining member of the meeting.

As Robin waited for Harm, Fite and Madd to arrive, his thoughts turned to Rachel.
After she was merged with this world's Rachel, it was decided that she go to see her "mother" and sort things out. Tim wished to be able to help her, but it was agreed that this was a personal matter for Falcon.
So that left Tim on his own again. It wasn't that bad. He had spent a long time patroling the streets of Gotham by himself and his duties with the Titans kept him busy.
Shaking himself back to reality, Robin went over his proposal to Fite and Madd again in his head.

Billy shadowports in the room with civilian clothes and sits down quietly.

"You understand what needs to be done?" Robin asked.

"I act respectfully to everyone, and don't instigate, right?"

Robin nodded. At that moment the doors opened and Fite and Madd walked in.
"All right," Madd growled. "You've had your stay of execution, sicko. Hands in the air."
"Gentlemen," Robin said standing up. "I didn't call you here to get into a fight."
"Excuse me?" Fite said. "Look kid, we let Harm alone because you said you needed him in that fight with the guy with horns. That's over now. Hand him over." he held up his gun. "Now."

"I do believe the entire reason we're in here is to talk." Billy said calmly.

Robin again snatched the weapons out of Fite and Madd's hands. "I told you both: I don't like guns." Soon the both guns were handed back to the Agents with out the bullet clips.
"Harm is right." Robin said directing them to the chairs. "Now please sit." Reluctantly the agents sat down.
"You can't tell us you want us to let him go," Fite said siting across from Harm and scowling. "That guy killed his sister, your friend. Remeber her? The Mist Girl?"
"Of course I remember Secret, and no I don't expect Harm to get off scott free. He commited many horrible acts and deserves to pay retribution."
"Then why are we discussing this?" Madd snapped.
"Because we both know that putting Harm in prision would be moot. His powers would easily allow him to escape and most prisions don't have the means to hold him." Robin explained.
"A.P.E.S HQ would find a way to hold him." Fite replied. "Just like we held the mist girl."

Harm glares at Fite but quickly regains his composure.

CM3 walks in. He can see the tension in the air.
(careful) "Hmm, everything all right Robin?"

"We're okay Cap." Robin said, though not looking at CM3.
"Perhapes you are right Agent Fite, but the fact remains that putting Harm in prision would prove pointless and most likely lead him back to a life of crime."
"When did he ever leave?" Madd grumbled.
"The point is, Harm has said he wishes to make amends. Whether or not that is true, I couldn't tell you. And I'll be the first to admit that I don't trust Harm. But there is a way he could serve his sentence AND be kept track of."
"What are you suggesting, Mr. Urban Legend." Fite asked crossing his arms.
"Turn him over to the Titans." Robin said.
"What?!" Madd shouted. "And then what?! Let him play super-hero for a few weeks and wait for him to kill you kids?!"
"He won't kill anyone. I'll personally see to that."
"No Way!" Madd shouted. "You're comming with us!"
"Hold it Ish." Fite said grabbing his partner's shoulder. "The kid has a point."
"Are you mental Donny?!"
"Look, I'm not saying I like the idea, but the kid is right. The kid is unstable and holding him in solitary confinement might only lead the kid back over the edge. If he were to be surrounded by other kids, he could maybe change."
"What about the murder charges."
"Secret is no longer dead," Robin said. "Those charges are for all intents and purposes moot. He is basically only charged with Attempted murder and several class B fellonies. The Courts will never turn Harm over to A.P.E.S. on the those charges alone."

"You realize that if he kills anyone or does anything remotely close to criminal, YOU will be held personally responsible for him. And we will seriously kick your sorry asses." Fite said keeping a neutral face.
"Yes." Robin replied.
"And you." Fite said to Harm. "We'll be checking in on you. ALOT. You pull anything and your ass is grass."

"OK" Billy said. All the mentioning of Secret makes Harm think about how he was thinking of calling her in his room and makes him obviously disturbed.

"Fine." Fite said. "We'll get the ball rolling. He's your problem now Boy Wonder." The two agents stood and began to leave.
"If he steps out of line, you both are going down." He said as the doors closed behind him.
Robin and Harm stood in silence.
