I WATCH HOW THE MOON SITS

in the sky on a dark night, shining with the light from the sun, but the sun doesn't give the light to the moon assuming the moon's gonna owe it one.

Requesting Silv for Titan status? Is this how that works?

Twitch wasn't kidding when he'd told Robin he'd catch a bus. There might not have been one that stopped at the tower, but several passed near the island. Twitch had jumped down from a low building onto one of these buses, waited til he got close, then casually hopped onto a lightpost and slid down, earning a couple odd looks from what he assumed were tourists unused to the young superheroes that frequented the streets. Following that, he'd crossed over to the island that housed the Tower, then realized he had no idea how to get in, nor any communicator to ask for help.

Resigned to a possibly long wait, he Twitch walked around the island, finding an obstacle course set up parallel to a baseball turret. At least, he hoped those were baseballs. Either way, it was something to do, and the sound the turret made might draw some attention. He removed the coat and holster holding his blank pistol, then hung them both on an outlying peg on the side of the starting platform that he assumed was for that purpose. The new Titan elected to keep his red-and-silver mask on, since it didn't impair him at all. Twitch ascended the steps and hit the switch to start the course.

It was as if heaven had descended to Earth in the eyes of the eager hyperkinetic.

The baseball turret awoke from its slumber and started searching the course, platforms shifted in irregular patterns, tightropes connected to those platforms moved with them, walls periodically shifted position, and all of it presented a fine challenge while being fired at by baseballs. The blue-haired hero rolled his shoulders back and rushed out onto the first tightrope, ducking low past the first baseball fired...

and taking the second square to the chin.

He was knocked off the rope, something that shocked him more than the baseball. That was some damn good shooting for a robot. He ascended the platform again and ran across the rope faster, jumping onto the next platform and leaning back just in time to see another ball fly past his face. The hyperkinetic didn't stop, rushing forward through the course, up and down platforms and ropes, until a wall decided that it would rather move in front of his jump and got him nailed with two more baseballs. He stood up off the ground, picked one of the balls up, and offhandedly tossed it so that it hit the switch to turn off the course. He muttered to himself; "That's gonna bruise...", then turned to see someone approaching. Hopefully they hadn't seen him make an idiot of himself.

Code 240 : Unauthorized Individual on the Grounds Robin glanced at the corner of his laptop computer and frowned. That wasn't an unusual occurrence. Fangirls were incredibly good at sneaking onto the island, in packs or solo, and while the young leader was sometimes impressed by their tenaciousness he also didn't want anything to do with them. At least, not without reinforcements. He'd go toe to toe with some of the baddest villains to ever terrorize the planet, but he wasn't quite as confident with the fangirls. Or girls in general. Hormones. The boy went back to his research, his masked eyes narrowing as he tried incredibly hard to put together the information he had in front of him like Bruce had taught him to do. There was something here. All he had to do was see it. Code 486 : Course 58 ACTIVATED  That got Robin's attention. Mostly because fangirls didn't tend to activate the obstacle courses on the island. Or even go anywhere near them. Or even know where they were. The sound of frantic typing was heard as Robin quickly accessed the security feed for that section of the island. The obstacle course was, indeed, activated, and the person on it was one he recognized. The kid also wasn't a Titan. Which made this a problem. Rising to his feet and clicking his laptop shut, the boy swiftly exited his room and headed for the stairs. He didn't quite go as quickly as he did when there was a legitimate emergency, but he moved quickly enough that if he had to he could hopefully stop Twitch from doing something stupid. Not that the kid wasn't already doing something stupid. Robin made it to the course just as Twitch was making his second attempt. The young leader paused, watching as the other boy ran through the ropes course with ease until he made it to the moving wall. Not bad. Not bad at all. But still, unauthorized, and dangerous. Which was why the expression on the Boy Wonder's face as he made his way over to Twitch was severe. "Most people just ring the front door," Robin pointed out, his masked gaze following the toss of the baseball that shut off the button. Which brought him to the question of who had left it on so Twitch could access it? But that would be a manhunt for later tonight. For the moment, he had a prospective member to deal with. "How was the bus ride?" Ooc: Yup. Exactly how that works.

"Most people just ring the front door."

Twitch just buried his face in his left hand. "Wait. You mean to tell me that a building that could run for 'most secure facility in Jump' and stand a really good chance of winning... has a doorbell. Seemed like it wasn't worth checking for one, so I decided to wait for someone else to show up. Like yourself. Then I saw this and decided to kill time. That robot can aim." The hero just walked over to his coat and shrugged it on, just nodding as Robin asked him about the bus ride. "Pretty good. Got a few odd looks, but I think they were tourists anyway."

The hyperkinetic leaned against the side of the starting platform of the obstacle course with a little grin. "So, what's been up while I've been experiencing public transportation?" After waiting for a response, he asked the awkward question. "What did you mean by working on a team? Do I have to turn in a resume or something?"

Robin made an amused noise at Twitch's reaction to learning about their front door. They even had a public lobby to go with their front door. But hey, there was no need to blow the kid's mind twice in ten minutes. He gave a nod at the exclamation that the robot could aim. Especially since that was the point of the robot. Cyborg would be glad to hear that his aiming robot was in perfect aiming condition and bruises rookies like a champ. But that was something to celebrate later. "None of the patrols have reported anything suspicious," Robin rattled off the information with the air of someone who was pretty good at knowing what was going on, and giving orders based off of it. "We have a group working in the danger room, and I was doing paperwork," a shrug. "The joys of leadership." The young leader grinned when Twitch asked about the team thing. "Don't need a resume. However, if you'd like to be a Titan, you do have to pass a test." because that didn't sound ominous at all.

Twitch listened to the leader of the Titans fire off the day's events with the air of someone used to knowing them without much effort. It made sense that Robin would have that kind of awareness; training under the world's greatest detective probably did that. All the small details that he had to pick up on, big things like this were probably just absorbed, like water to a sponge. "Paperwork is the one constant, isn't it? Everything has to be on paper."

"If you'd like to be a Titan, you do have to pass a test."

Twitch stood a bit straighter, no longer leaning relaxed against the platform. He smiled, the movement shifting his mask up slightly. "A test, you say? That sounds fun. What kind of test is it?"
