Roy made his way to the kitchen, only to find that Robin was there along with Wally. The two were exchanging banter, Robin scolding Wally for the speedster's slothfulness while Wally laughed it off as always. Roy just sighed at the two, piping up, [color=indianred][b]"C'mon Dick, let the guy eat. He's a growing boy."[/b][/color][/quote]
[color=878686]With a sigh, Robin began to massage the bridge of his nose as Arsenal swept in from the other side to backup Wally's lack of mobilization. Inherently, Dick knew that supposed "fastest kid alive" could be counted on in the midst of battle, and that was all that was important - but he still lacked a sense of discipline, and it had often come across as apathy for what they were doing. It wasn't that Dick was judging him for it, not at all - Wally was ultimately his best friend in the Tower, with their exploits going back to when they were both shy of fifteen, instructed to wait in the Batcave while their mentors handled a crisis in some faraway city. They didn't listen on Wally's insistence, of course, and wound up breaking apart some gang activity that needed addressing. Even managed to stop Mr. Freeze from taking a television station hostage. Those were fun times and proof positive that for all their lectures, both of their father figures didn't always know what was right. 

He just wanted Wally to act like he was taking things seriously. Not just for his sake, but for team morale. Dick wouldn't outright say it, but he often worried about whether or not he was a good fit for a larger team. He didn't exactly know how to handle the dynamic, coming off of just being paired up with one other person for the last seven years. So when it came to how to operate as a wider unit, Robin had been actively trying to pay attention to what worked and steer away from what didn't. That included what might become a problem in the future, and to the former Boy Wonder, this was a small problem waiting to become a bigger one.

[b][color=54a468]"I know. Enhanced metabolism. But we have a fully supplied cupboard with protein bars, he can eat on the way. Lives are at stake."[/color][/b], he calmly argued. [b][color=54a468]"And could you both cool it with the, [i]er[/i], name calling? Anyone could be listening."[/color][/b]

Almost as if on cue, Kyle Rayner appeared from behind them, having consumed his lunch already in the corner. Robin acknowledged him with a quiet nod, mindful of not wanting to come across as too closely tied to Kid Flash and Arsenal. Everyone knew the three were friends from well before this Titans business started, but he didn't want to play favorites. Though truthfully, he hadn't made up his mind on how he felt about the rest of the team. 

Troia was an exceptionally disciplined warrior, and she was still learning all that she could about Patriarch's World. Dick could relate to that, having spent a ton of time isolated from others in one way or another - whether it was in a roaming Circus or studying martial arts with one of the world's greatest crimefighters. Troia even seemed to have at least a passing grasp on popular culture now, thanks to Rayner, an area Dick very much wasn't at home with. M'Gann was similarly trying to figure things out, but on an entirely different [i]species[/i] level. And while Dick couldn't relate as well, he sympathized and was ready to offer her any help she needed. Despite her level of power, Robin saw Martian as the least experienced member of the team - even considering Superboy and Stitch, who were both coming in under unique circumstances. But with guidance from the others, he figured she'd be a natural in no time.

And then there was Kyle. Nice enough guy, and there hadn't been any real reason for the two to butt heads. But he was so [i]loud[/i], if not in his choice of playlist then in personality. It was something that threw Dick off considerably, given that he had only ever been used to a elderly statesman of a butler and a man who's idea of a good time was upgrading his equipment or running drills. Rayner had often offered to bring Dick in on whatever he and Wally were up to, whether it was a card game - Magic something - or an impromptu movie night. Every time, Dick had politely declined in favor of the gym or solitude in his quarters.

Even thinking that, Robin realized that maybe Kyle wasn't the problem. Maybe he was starting to transfer too many characteristics of his unusual upbringing to this new setting. Dick knew that he had time to adapt, but it was going way too slowly for his liking. The four of them moved hastily from the kitchen area to the bridge, with Wally still stuffing the last of his pancakes down in a frenzy. Even assembled alongside the waiting Wonder Girl and Martian, Grayson couldn't help but feel slightly out of place. And not just because he was one of only two without certain abilities.

[color=white]"Cinderblock has escaped custody. He's in the downtown shouting for the Titans. It appears he wants a rematch."[/color]

Hitting someone like Cinderblock, though? That was very much his speed.

[color=B0C4DE]"Then, by Thor's hammer, let us not disappoint."[/color]

[i][b][color=54a468]Guess we have our first recurring member of a rogue's gallery...[/color][/b][/i]

[color=a187be]"Is this a regular thing for Earth criminals? Show up, get punched into the ground, then reappear like nothing happened?"[/color]

[b][color=54a468]"You'd be surprised. Remind me to tell you about Arkham."[/color][/b]

Robin narrowed his eyes as Rayner, now fully adorned in his luminescent Green Lantern uniform, took the lead.

[color=87E9A9]"Cinderblock's tearing up the town? We know how he escaped the transport? I'll fly us there."[/color]

Immediately, Robin tensed up. He'd just assumed that they would use the T-Jet that Jupiter had provided them with. Or if he had his way, he'd be allowed to leave on the Redbird and utilize the Bat-Drones to survey the situation from a safe distance to strategize a plan of attack. However, Kyle's initiative was at least helpful in moving the situation along, and Robin rationalized to himself that since this was Cinderblock, they knew how to beat him already. And this time it was as a fully formed team, rather than whatever the Titans were when they first battled him.

[b][color=54a468]"Good call. If we arrive at once, there's a chance we can minimize the damage in progress. An air drop could surprise him."[/color][/b]

Who said he couldn't be a team player?[/color]
