Titans

Previously on Titans...

Bruce Wayne was at the circus the night your parents died.

I want to help you.

He has volunteered to be your foster parent.

And, Dick, the police, they believe it may not have been an accident.

Someone killed my parents?

I'm gonna find out who's running this freak show.

- I'll come with you. - I thought we weren't splitting up.

I'm coming back. I promise.

Nap time, kids.

Detective Grayson.

Are you Mr. Adamson? And what do you want with Rachel?

You found me. So the Organization is sending people to kill us.

If you don't give me some answers...

Dick Grayson in the flesh. Nice to meet you, bro.

I'm the new Robin.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

And He will welcome them into the Kingdom of Heaven

where they will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Let us pray.

Oh, God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful

by the light of the Holy Spirit,

grant us in the same spirit to be truly wise

and ever to rejoice in his consolation,

through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

They loved you.

And they were proud of you.

You know that, right?

The police said someone killed them.

Someone burned the trapeze ropes

with hydrofluoric acid...

And disappeared.

And the police can't find him. Is that true?

- It's not your concern, Dick. - Is it true?

Someone will find who did it.

I spoke with Ms. Bond.

It sounds like Bruce Wayne is serious about takin' you in.

- But I wanna stay with you. - I want that, too.

But part of my agreement with your parents was deciding what's best for you.

Living with you is what's best for me.

Bruce Wayne is a very wealthy man.

And a very good man.

He can give you everything that I can't.

I don't want to.

Please don't make me.

I know you don't believe me, kiddo,

but trust me, living with Bruce Wayne

is gonna change your life forever.

Man, dude looks dead.

Trust me. There's a difference between dead and knocked out.

This is awesome!

Robin and Robin, in action.

Who the hell are you?

Jason Todd. The new Robin. Robin 2.0, right?

Hey, seriously, man,

it's an honor to meet you.

Yep.

I always wondered what this moment was gonna be like,

never thought that when it happened I'd be saving your life.

So, there's a new Robin, eh?

Yours truly. In the flesh.

- Does Batman know you're here? - Of course.

Bruce knows how badly I've always wanted to meet you.

Pick your brain, catch a couple of pointers,

he's all, "Go for it, bro."

Hey, let me go grab my clothes. I'll be right back.

Can't believe it.

Here we are, together, in the same car. This is so cool!

Yeah.

Real cool.

So how long have you and Bruce been, uh...

- Been... - Together?

- Almost a year. - A year?

Wow. Okay. Didn't waste any time.

- So how did you and he... - I was out boosting cars.

Guess I chose the wrong one. Or the right one.

You tried to steal the Batmobile?

No, man. Just the hubcaps.

And just like that, he took you in?

Guess he saw potential.

So, what do you think of the new suit?

Upgrades are pretty sick, right?

The new tunic is made with Zylon fibers,

six times stronger than Kevlar.

Seriously, bro, you can hit me with a flame thrower from ten feet

and I'd be like, "That's all you got?"

- Zylon fibers. - Smart, right?

Hey, no offense but you gotta admit,

the old version was a little outdated.

So how'd you find me anyway?

The tracker.

What tracker?

In your arm.

There's a fucking tracker in my arm?

Yeah. In mine, too. Don't you remember him putting it in?

No.

Maybe you forgot.

So, where are we goin'?

I gotta find a place to put that guy.

Can I make a suggestion?

Sure.

According to Bruce, the design of this place is inspired by Frank Lloyd.

- Wright. - I know, right?

Dude's really into, you know, lines and shit.

Bruce has a bunch of places like this.

He calls them "safe houses," but they're more like condos.

- Never been to one. - You're lucky.

Access denied.

I got this.

Access granted.

Guess he changed the locks.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you even want to be Robin?

Are you kidding? This is the dopest gig ever.

Hangin' out with Batman, kicking bad guys' asses,

being famous, driving the goddamn Batmobile.

He lets you drive the Batmobile?

Wouldn't you rather have your own name?

Like "Sparrow" or "Blue Jay," for "Jason"?

Fuck, no.

The whole point is being Robin.

Batman needs Robin.

Why do you think he makes us wear those lame colors?

'Cause we're drawing fire.

"Look over here, assholes!"

Then boom, the Bat lands and starts trashing ass.

Here, I'll go back and get our friend.

Who's this?

- Niccolo Machiavelli. - Oh, yeah.

Bruce has talked about that dude.

Sounds like a total savage.

"If an injury has to be done to a man,

it should be so severe that his vengeance need not to be feared.

Severities should be dealt out all at once,

so that their suddenness may give less offense.

Benefits ought to be handed out drop-by-drop

so they may be relished the more."

You know, I used to read about you as a kid.

Bruce has told me tons of awesome stories about you.

I bet he has.

I know it's none of my business,

but he never said why you quit.

I guess I just couldn't cut it.

Are you thirsty? I'm gonna go check out the brew sitch.

- What? - The beer situation.

You've got impeccable timing.

- Where the hell are you? - Chicago.

I thought you were coming back here.

Things got a little weird at our friend's apartment.

His name is Dr. Adamson, by the way.

Doctor of what, I have no idea.

Let me guess. He tried to kill you.

He tried to cook me breakfast, actually.

His friends tried to kill me.

Six of them. I got the feeling there's more where they came from.

You took out six assassins by yourself?

Not bad.

Robin's got some skills.

Any update on the family?

Um, they're all dead.

- Kory. - I didn't kill them.

I just walked in and they were, like, dead.

Their heads exploded.

Hell of a coincidence.

- I... - Ah, fuck.

Are you okay?

Just dealing with something.

Look, you guys need to get out here.

I'm at 888 North Lakeshore Drive.

It's less than an hour. You'll be safe here.

- Are you sure? - It's a safe house.

It has "safe" right in the name.

Hey, Jason, thanks for the help back there.

But I'm good now. You should head back to Gotham.

What the hell, man?

I'm not Robin anymore. Have a safe trip back.

You didn't have to do that.

- Yeah, I did. And you should, too. - Why?

Because we're not animals in Bruce Wayne's private zoo.

You don't get it, man. He did it for you. For us.

In case anything ever happened, he could find us.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tell Bruce I'm gonna need the place for a couple of days.

He should be okay with it.

I'm not sure you really understand him, man.

I think I'm the one guy in the world that does.

Look, Jason,

he might have you thinking that you're a partnership,

but everything Bruce does is in the best interest of one person. Bruce.

Time to go.

Sorry, man. I can't.

He wanted me to show you these.

How did you get these?

They were sent to the Gotham PD addressed to "Robin."

Whoever sent them thinks you're still Robin.

I know these people.

Come here, kiddo.

I worked with them at the Haly's Circus.

- Before your parents were... - Yeah.
