Arrivals

Robin glanced at the girl and contemplated whether or not what she said could be accurate. “No,” he finally decided with a shake of his head. “If they were worried about you, they would have simply called in the police. This is bigger. We just have to find it.” it was ironic that a thing that was clearly an elephant could hide so well in the middle of the room. It didn't stay hidden for long. The boy stiffened as a line of robots came into sight in front of them. When he whirled to glance behind he realized that he'd let himself be surrounded. Had he just dragged Nymph into a trap? There wasn't time to feel awful. Now was the time to fight. “Show me what you got,” it was as much a quip as it was an order. “I'll take this set, you take those?” He grinned conspiratorially at Nymph before hollering a battle cry and charging into the fray with a flying leap. There were few things that Robin hated as much as he did Sladebots. Slade, the man, being at the very top of that list. Slade was also the reason Robin really hated Sladebots. And also, by association, the reason he was currently kicking a bot's head in. Though that might also have had something to do with it surrounding him and Nymph first. The poster boy for everything good in the world had a ruthless side. It came out with a terrifying ferocity whenever Robin wasn't careful to hide it. There was nothing subtle about Robin's attack pattern right now. The boy landed on top of the bot with the smashed-in face with a grunt. One of the other bots was moving towards him. These things could be fast when they wanted to be. It reached forward, as though to immobilize him, but it didn't get the chance. Robin jumped up vertically with incredible power, flipping in midair and landing on the bot's shoulders. It buckled beneath him, crashing to the ground with a satisfying thud. Another one bites the dust. A spinning kick knocked another bot from getting too close. Another one down. One of his bots had decided that Nymph was a better target. He chased after it, hooking an ankle around a metallic leg – that was a terrible idea, he decided, with a shot of pain – but it got the bot to turn around and as Robin flipped to his hands to take the pressure off his ankle it received a stunning blow to the...robot jaw? And another one down. As Robin flipped back to his feet, however, he didn't notice the other bots coming. Or at least, he didn't see the one that landed a nasty blow to the back of his head. The young leader landed on the ground with a thud, as his world went momentarily black. Ooc: Stole Sladebots with Zeus permission.

Nymph felt kind of shocked as she watched as a line if men made their way towards them. Following Robins gaze backwoods showed that there were more behind them. In fact, in every direction that she looked there were men in odd outfits and all of them were heading towards them. Right at this minute, Nymph wasn't feeling to safe.

Just then Robin shouted for her to show him what she could do with a smile she assumed was supposed to be encouraging and then ran off to attack a group of the men.

"HUH!!?" was her intelligent replay as her head whipped in his direction and then turned to stare in horror at the encroaching men. She cleared her throat nervously. "Any chance you gentleman are just here to ask for directions?" there wasn't a replay but to be honest she hadn't really expected one. The men just kept coming toward her. "I didn't think so. Oh well, i hope you like water then."

With that said, Nymph shrugged her shoulders, threw down her bag and took a defensive stance... or at least what she thought was a defensive stance. Either way she stood her ground as her powers were more of a long distance kind of thing and rushing head long into the midst of an enemy army wasn't the smartest thing to do.

Facing the enemy she clenched and then lifted her fist into the air. As she did this the water that she had collected a few moments before setting off with Robin gushed out of the bottle in her bag and found its way to forming a circle of water around her body. Lifting the other arm with her hand palm up she called more water from the sea that lapped up against the dock clenching her fist after a few seconds to shut off the flow. The energy that it took to perform this task was small but her eye's still glowed a bright eerie white and they would only get brighter the more she used her abilities. She now had a sizeable amount of water circling her and it was time to use it. Nymph couldn't allow them to get any closer and so she flew into action.

Nymph swung her arms out in a wide arc around her which caused the water to rush faster and faster until she suddenly flung her left arm directly towards the encroaching line of men, hand now extended flat and palm up in front of her. This caused a number of water spikes to separate from the larger mass, freezing an instant before slamming into the necks, chest and heads of the men. She had been expecting blood and groans and screams. Not that she had been looking forward to it but it was what she had been expecting. It didn't happen. Instead she saw sparks and heard the groaning of metal as it gave way to her ice spears. Some of the robots, for that is what she realised they where, even managed to stay standing before the now melting ice shards got into their hard drives and shorted them out. It kind of made her feel better that she was killing robots rather then real people. She could even have fun with this now. 

"Hmmm, practice. I wander what else i can do?" She said with a grin on her face. Flicking some of her long hair out of her face, Nymph got ready to experiment. Just then she saw Robin go down out of the corner of her eye and turned in time to see him hit the ground and not get up. The robot that had downed him was heading towards him again to finish the job and she did the first thing that came the her mind. Spinning the rest of her body in his direction she flung the majority of the remaining water towards the robot. It hit the robot at full force but it didn't budge an inch. This was ok however for that had not been her intent. Instead she proceeded to freeze the water that now drenched the robot as it began to turn towards her. It only got half way because the ice froze rapidly, starting at its feet and ending at its head. Now there was just a large metal popsicle hovering over Robin that she could deal with later not that it would last very long. Nymph just hoped that it would last long enough. Right now, there where at lease twenty more robots to take care of before she could check on Robin. 

"What joy" said Nymph sarcastically as the next robot advanced. "Now I'm alone. Please God don't let me die"

[Silv]

He was out for less than a few seconds. It meant that the damage was probably minimal and he would recover from it fairly quickly. The Sladebots had ignored him since he was down and no longer moving. This was their first mistake. As he groaned, his eyes fluttering open behind the mask, Robin noticed that they bots were converging upon Nymph. There was no way he was going to let that happen. It didn't matter if everything hurt and he just wanted to go back to sleep. He had to help her. The boy got to his feet, somewhat unsteadily, the only real outward sign that he'd been knocked out, the fresh blood trickling from a cut in his hair down along his ear and creeping towards his collar. Inwardly his stomach flopped and he felt nauseous. He ignored the feeling and instead focused on something he could control: how much he hated Sladebots. “You're never alone,” the boy said to Nymph, proving that he had heard her. “Not with the Titans.” With that he pushed the emergency transmitter on his communicator. Someone would hear it and come to help them. It was only a matter of time. Until that moment, however, Robin was running on adrenaline alone. It was dangerous, but he was pretty sure he didn't have a choice. The boy pulled out and extended his bostaff, without the usual flair, smashing it against a Sladebot as he moved into a position backing up Nymph. He was on a clear defensive now, doing his best to keep the bots away and guarding Nymph's back until their backup arrived. Ooc: Yo Titans. We could use some help up in here~

Nymph couldn't have been happier when she heard Robin respond. She had never fought robot men (or anyone for that mater) in her life and hadn't been sure if she would survive her first time. She liked being alive and hoped to stay that way for a good portion of the foreseeable future. Now that Robin was back on his feet, maybe they had a fighting chance (no pun intended). 

Nymph spun her head around to look at Robin as he positioned himself at her back. He didn't look great but at least he was on his feet. That was a start. With a shrug, Nymph began to turn back around to face the other robots but was to slow. Somehow while she had been distracted one of the robots to her left has snuck up on her. She had time to see his fist sailing towards her before she felt the impact. At first there was no pain, just utter shock as her body flew to the right from the force of the blow. As she crashed to the ground her head bounced off of the pavement and bright light flashed across her vision. The pain in the back of her head joined the pain that she could now feel radiating from her left cheek causing her to groan. Nymph didn't know which part of her head to hold first. It all hurt equally as bad.

After a few seconds of self pity the pain started to dull a bit (Not a lot but enough for her to see straight) and so with another groan Nymph rolled over onto her stomach and then pushed herself off the ground. Once she was standing she turned to see that Robin was once again in full fight mode and more robots where heading her way. Nymph was irritated now causing her eyes to blaze to their brightest white. She was so ready to kick the behind of the robot who hit her.

"Right then. If thats how you want to do it then fine. Bring it on you over sized tin can" Shouted Nymph at the encroaching line of diminished but still formidable robot men. She flexed her hands and shoulders and then proceeded to call more water from the ocean near. She had dropped her previous supply of water when tin can no. 1 had punched her. As they all looked identical she couldn't tell which one it had been and so settled to eliminate all of them... hopefully that was something she could do before they killed her... Lovely thought that.

FZZ-ZZT!
CLUNK.
A Sladebot fell to its side and fizzled out, the remains of a Stun Arrow lying a few feet away after its explosion.
The 'bots were obviously packing some serious powersource.

BZZT!
Nothing Speedy's trick arrows couldn't handle.

The 'bot's neighbour was soon to follow, as a masked archer made his way forward, a third Stun Arrow loading as he spoke.

"You picked up an eager one this time, Robbers~!" called the ginger, loosing a flurry of charges until he'd depleted his Stunners, Sladebots going down left and right.

" 'Bring it,' huh? Let's not get too invitational, Miss."
He took up a spot back-to-back with the other two already on the scene, having cleared a path to them by taking out a section of the 'bots.

"These guys're no gennelmen but they've prolly been happy to oblige so far."
It helped that Nymph had primed more than a few of the Titans' assailants with her waterbending; Speedy's electric-based attacks worked wonders for switching off the AI units' consciousness.

"Time for the finale...you can breath now, people. Speedy's gotcha!"
The grinning marksman bent on one knee, loading Explosive Arrows in pairs at the advancing enemies. He'd be down to 15 arrows, soon, but they had to be making a huge dent in the 'bots.
Every 6 seconds he was facing another cluster of them, making his rounds, and making sure the double-impact tore into groups of Slade-ware before sending another powerful volley into their comrades' water-weakened frames.

He couldn't resist addressing the waterbender, as she gathered her additional reserves.

"Y'know. Just between you and me...it looks like the tides are turning."

A robot exploded to her right, what looked like half of an arrow was all that was left of the metal man. Stunned for a second, Nymph stared at the arrow but spun to look at the new comer when he commented on her antagonistic shouting. Her only response was to raise an eyebrow and shrug. She had a short temper and it wasn't like they had any intention of not coming over and beating the hell out of her, regardless of whether she called them names. The shouting just made her feel better. 

The new guy kept talking and Nymph rolled her eyes in a good natured way as she was turning back to the robot men. "Turnin' the tides?" she muttered under her breath, her Irish accent getting stronger with her amusement "sweet ma mary, dat 'as ter be de lamest joke in de warrld" 

Still fighting a small smile Nymph continued to gather a rather impressive amount of water around herself. It rushed around her head and waist with a thundering sound that closely resembled the sound a waterfall makes when is crashed against the rocks below it. She was tiring fast because of the weight of the water and the amount of time she had been using her powers but she pressed on. Her eye grew brighter as she forced herself to hold the water. it was hard but she could do it. 

The smile slipped from her face as she concentrated on holding the water and flicked her eyes over to Robin. "'oy much longer do yer tink dis 'ill last? oi'm start'n ter tire a wee bit" she shouted over to him with a grimace on her face. She was really starting to feel the strain. The thought crossed her mind that she might be able to increase her endurance if she trained more but thought would have to be analysed later because the robots where getting closer and closer. She hope this ended soon and with them as the winners.
