Universe: Today's Lesson Is....
Characters: YJ Team (primary Robin/Dick), RED, Conan, Kaitou KID
Summary: KID has made his announcement! He's coming to America to steal something. Can the YJ team stop him?
As soon as she reached the roof, Megan dismissed her camouflage. “Guys,” she said over the comm-link. “I can’t do this.”
Kaldur calm but stern voice replied to her. “What do you mean Miss Martain?”
Megan glanced down at the floor. Even though the child was four floors below her, she could still feel his glaze on her. It sent shivers down her spine. That boy wasn’t a child; no he was far more dangerous than that.
“He’s perceptive. I did nothing to do give myself away. Not a single sound, I barely breathed. Yet he still knew I was there in the room with him. He noticed as soon we arrived here,” Megan explained. She doesn’t voice her baseless fears. She doesn’t explained the even the slightest of touches of probing that strong mental shields immediately go up. This child, if he could be called a child, wasn’t ‘normal’ by any means.
“He maybe a child, but I’m afraid he’ll do something rash if I go back in.”
“Just stay at the roof top then,” Kaldur ordered. “Kaitou KID has been known to come through the sky on his hang glider. Keep a lookout for him.”
“Understood,” Megan said.
Something was wrong with that child.

Robin was perched on top of a rooftop. He stared at the calling card, trying to put together the fragile pieces of the clues together. There was something off with what the police deduced. There was nothing better to do anyways. Megan was keeping watch on the roof and Wally was on the ground. Kaldur took the back entrance. Superboy was in the front. Artemis was watching the window of the Mouri’s room.
“Stumped Little Knight?”
Robin snapped his head up. “Red!” he shouted.
Floating in midair was the Crimson Thief. He twirled his black cane, before placing his hands behind his back. He bent down to read the calling card.
“Surely you’re not having a hard time with the calling card are you? Kid would be disappointed if you don’t figure it out. After all, I stories I told him about you,” Red said.
Behind his domino mask, Robin’s eyes narrowed. “What are you talking about Red? Are you working together with Kid?”
Red smirked. “No. While we share a similar profession, our interests are different. He merely gave me a call to tell me he was in town. But I didn’t think he would take me literally when I said he should text chibi tantei-kun for a more personal showdown between chibi tantei-kun, you and him, Little Knight. Kid always loves a challenge I suppose. Only one of his usual rivals followed him to America after all.”
Robin tuned Red out after that. The pieces of the puzzle instantly snapped together into his head. He reached for his ear-comm to alert the team only to hear nothing but static.
“Tut, tut, Little Knight,” Red said. “I said this was a showdown no? I can’t have you helping them solving it. I’ll send your teammates after you, but only have to they pieced together at least part of the riddle together.”
Robin scowled. “Why are you doing this Red?”
Red chuckled. “Purely out of amusement. I will admit I’m a tad envious of Kid. After all his rivals pick up the game so fast. On the other hand, Little Knight, your court hasn’t figured it out yet.”
“This is a game?” Robin asked. There was a hint of confusion in his voice.
“First Rule of Phantom Thief: No one gets hurt,” Red recited. “I would say that’s a game no? Better get going, Little Knight. Or you’re going to miss the beginning.”
Robin vanished into the night.
