''You're an exhibitionist, you know that?'' Nightwing was still hanging on to the last scrap of stubbroness he had. ''Go to bed? I cant decide whether thats patronising or a come-on.'' He turned away and looked back into the cave, noting that his breathing was uneccessarily fast.
The jet was gone, and so was the boy scout, Jason was on the computer and Brainy was still in the lab. From the smell of cookies, he knew where his younger self was.
Damn Slade and his annoyingly irrestistable sexyness. I mean, that was just an unfair advantage. Jason walked past the enterance to the cave with a cup of coffee and waved. ''Hey there little bird.'' Nightwing winced, he had gotten very drunk once and told Jason about that at a moment of weakness. Now he saw the error of his ways. ''Jason I swear to god, I'll tear your damn face off.'' Nightwing looked past the man and his gaze jumped up the stairs to the lab. It was the Coluan who had seen them, he was sure of it. It it was either Jason or Robin who had, there would either be hysterical laughter or hysterical tears at the moment.
He turned back and caught the brunt of the sharp gaze, almost razoring through his mask. He reached up and pulled his own mask away from his face. ''Now we're even. Apparently, according to whats gonigon in the cave, I've nothing better to do than entertain you, our esteemed guest. What a valued part of the bat-team I so obviously am.''

It was when Brainy reached for another of Batman's many gadgets and devices that a sudden flash lit up the batcave. Brainy dropped everything and ran to the edge of the platform. Another rip in time had been opened and Brainiac stepped through with his droids. "Sprock."
Brainiac had not excpected that the place he would travel to be inhabited, and least of all he didn't excpect to see Brainiac 5 there. "Brainiac 5," He spoke when the green boy flew down from a platform above and landed in front of him. "what an unpleasent surprise."

Just as Slade was about to reply, a flash of light and person emerging from it stopped him in his tracks. He hadn't been here before..in fact, Slade had absolutely no idea who this guy was. He clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes in irritation, only to get a weird look from Nightwing. "Turn around." He informed him, gaze still not moving from the sight behind the man.
--
Robin had just entered the Batcave again when he saw a quick flash of light from the corner of his eye. He swiftly looked to his right only to notice a giant robot standing there with several droids. His first instinct was to fight, but of course, as usual, he didn't know the situation. Whatever it was it couldn't be good though, so for now he just stood and watched as one of the guys from earlier, he remembered his name being Brainiac 5, came down from the batcave's lab to approach the mysterious person.

Jason was suddenly at the console, and then he was not. A smoke bomb filled the area arronud his person with smoke, and he blended into the shadows of the cave, like Bruce had thaught him. Brainiac may be able to trace heat signitures, but maybe the droids couldnt. ''Well the tracking programme worked.'' He said, slipping around the higher ledges of the caves, his voice booming an echoing, making it had to locate. ''We found Brainiac.''
Nightwing threw himself into the cave and realised Jason was right, on the main computer, Brainiacs location was beeping away intently. Two bad it was two metres away from their faces. ''Oh this could not get much worse.'' He muttered, hoping Slade had'nt decided to suddenly leave as he was wont to do because at this point they needed all the backup they could get.
''Brainy, what does he WANT.'' He called to the boy, slipping a batarang into his palm. ''And can we take this elsewhere?''

"I'm wondering the same thing." Brainy said turned to his ancestor. "What I want is of no concern to you, Brainiac 5. It would be best if you and your companions stand down, this won't take long." "You do realize that what you're doing is affecting the time stream-" Brainy began but Brainiac cut him off. "A minor problem, which could be easily fixed if you hand over your time-bubble-device." "Is that why you came here?" "Do not flatter yourself Brainiac 5. I do not NEED your assistance in any way, it was merely a suggestion. But I believe I have wasted enough time talking with you. Destroy them and find the device." Brainy turned on his forcefield as the droids came rushing towards them.
(Like to point out that the device Brainiac is looking for IS NOT the time-bubble. Just to avoid confusion.)

Robin immediately rushed into the action, starting to take down the droids with swift kicks and punches only to watch them fall to the ground in defeat. Hm, not as hard as he would have thought.
--
Slade stood around, not intending to do anything about the situation. Although, if a droid happened to come his way, he did rip it apart just so it wouldn't bother him. He had to protect his life and all, anyway.

Nightwing joined in the fray, the batarang slicing in an arc and short-circuting one droid with a burst of static as he flew at another, finding the processing core and ripping it out. One by one the robots were falling, too easily. ''He's building them so fast that they're weaker.'' He shouted across at the others. ''Or he's using it as a distraction.'' Talking during a fight was his way or relaxing, but his encounter with Slade had left him quite unable to come up with something smart to say. ''Protect Brainy! He has what Brainiac wants!'' He didnt see the forefeild untill he ran into it, which caused him to stumble backwards, getting covered by droids in the process. As he was fighting them off, Jason dropped silently from the ceiling, two heavy knives in his hands. He had planned the move- with everyone absorbed in the fight, it was the perfect time to ambush Brainiac. He hurtled towards the robot with a grin, knives glinting. He was going to tear his cybernetic heart out and use it as a mini-fridge.

Brainiac didn't see Jason until the second before he stabbed him with the two knives in his chest. Although that didn't slow him down for long though as he quickly tossed Jason to the side with a swift blow.
Brainy felt like facepalming when Nightwing ran into his forcefield by accident. Maybe he should've told them about it before... Brainy hesitated for a moment but rushed to help Nightwing, getting somewhat further away from Brainiac that had just tossed Red Hood to the side and was moving further into the batcave. "He's looking for something." Brainy shouted to Nightwing and Robin as he dismantled another droid. "Come on! We can't let him get away!"

Robin stopped fighting the droids to find that the guy was definitely heading further into the batcave in search of something. Future or not, this was still his original home, and there was no way he was going to take anything that could change that.
Following Brainys orders, Robin found himself chasing after him with no clue on what to do next. Of course, he could beat him senseless, but then what? Who knows what this guy was capable of anyway? He could probably kill him, and that wouldn't be good.
--
Slade came up besides Robin at a steady pace, mask in place, eye narrowed.
"Come to be a hero?" The teen panted, trying to keep a distance between BOTH villains and himself.
"Just saving the past." The man shot back simply, before sprinting at a pace much faster then Robin thought possible. Slade was...helping?..

Nightwing nodded at Brainy for the help and drove his bo staff through the chest of a droid looming behind the boy. ''You're his kin- whats his weakness? How can we beat him?'' Nightwing demanded, beating off the remainder of the robots, his bo staff flashing silver, it moved so fast.
Jason groaned, trying to move but everything was painful. He saw Nightwing move to help but he waved him off. ''Deal with the droids!'' The man struggled to his feet slowly, ignoring the stabs of pain from everywhere. The world was spinning and his head was bleeding but he forced himself to enter the fray, attacking a droid. One, two, three... on his fourth droid he wavered and the droids converged. Gritting his teeth he tried to fight like a feral animal but he was weak, dizzy. The world went black for a few seconds before he felt the metal being pulled off him and Nightwing's face swam into view, as the last droid toppled and fell.
''You're hurt.'' Did... did he just sound worried? Jason had to chuckle. ''Dont worry momma, I'll be fine.'' Nightwing scowled at him, sliding his arms under the mans shoulders and pulling him into a sitting position. ''Attacking Brainaic on your own- you're an idiot.'' ''Well at least I didnt try to make out with him.'' Nightwing dumped him back on the floor and got up, scowling. Pain burst in from of Jasons eyes like a white light. ''F*CKING HELL!!!''
''Serves you right.'' Dick turned back to Brainy. ''Well? Any ideas?''
