It was odd how happy he was to have a villain in his room. Usually, it should be detrimental, dangerous, right? Nope. He was grinning, unable to wipe it off of his own face, giddy and excited. He had been planning this for months.

After an encounter four months ago, Tim had begun to be obsessed with a villain. A different kind of obsessed than usual—not just staying up to find where the residence was, what the suit was made of, how evading Bat man was done—no, it was worse. Tim, Red Robin, one of the apprentices of Bat man, had feelings for a villain, despite seeing the cruelty shown.

…Runs in the family?

Well, a night with far too much coffee inspired him to scheme a plan. He’d lead the villain to think he’s valuable for some reason, and then give a reason and easy time to be kidnapped. Then, tied up on a chair in some lair or basement, he’d break the restraints, silently take down the villain, and drag the unconscious person back to the manor.

Turns out his plan didn’t work so smoothly—they’d gotten into a scuffle, and maybe he was bleeding on the cheek, and the villain was very bruised, but Tim had the other in his room at last. Tied to a chair, sure, defenseless, sure, but it wasn’t like he would do anything with that. He just… stared.
