The L/N Case (Alpha)

Timothy Jackson Drake

A man of science, master of technology and one of the world's greatest detectives but also, the leader of the Teen Titans. However, coordinating the young superhero team could prove to be an exhausting task, even when he had help from Victor or Rose

Sometimes when he wanted some space for himself, the former Robin would go out and patrol the city from time to time, just admiring the urban landscape and helping those who needed his particular set of skills

He was a hero after all

Interestingly enough, just about ten minutes into the city, a family requested his assistance as he was patrolling nearby. They seemed desperate, so he attended them immediately

The family was terrified, something was very wrong with the father, but they didn't know what, so it was up to him to figure it out

Tim Drake always loved a good mystery, but this was not the kind he was prepared to handle

...Is this it?

Under the identity of Red Robin, he stood before a door, asking while looking back at the woman standing near him and the one who called him in the first place

???: Y-Yes, but please be careful. There's no telling what he will do

While the woman was worried, her behavior earned a confident smile from the vigilante

R.Robin: Don't worry, ma'am. I can handle it

Without saying anything else, he proceeded to open the door to one of the rooms. Upon touching it, the door creaked open as it allowed Tim to see the man inside, the one that had his entire family so panicked.

He was curled up into a ball, with blood coming out of self-inflicted wounds and laughter to cover it up. Experience suggested that this was the work of the Joker, but he was in Gotham, fighting a war or something like that

The thing was that this man didn't show any of the villain's calling cards, in fact, the victim's mere presence seemed...weird

And yet, Tim chose to step closer to him, but when he did, the wooden floor below him started to creak, immediately making the laughter stop

Instead, the man looked back at him and just... stared. It was disturbing, to say the least, but seeing as he had been spotted, Tim might as well try to keep it civilized

R.Robin: Mr. Williams, I'm here to help you, please just-

He was interrupted stopped mid-sentence by the victim as he continued his nonsensical laughter while slowly managing to get up. His movements appeared to be uncoordinated, forced and even his head was tilted sideways as if his neck had been broken

The vigilante recognized this as a potential threat and got into a defensive position, ready for whatever might happen next.

His mind was analyzing the elements of the man, going through his memories in search for anything that could be useful to identify the menace

R.Robin: Mr. Williams, don't do anything you'll regret

???: You talk too much, boy

The man finally spoke, but two voices answered instead of one. This was already getting out of hand

???: But to me, you're just another snack

Without wasting any more time in words, the creature launched itself at Tim, who used his staff to kick it back into the wall
