They both watched as both Robin and Raven frowned before sharing a look, Robin asking her a question in a voice that they could barely hear.
"Is this about a...book?"
After seeing her nod in confirmation before she turned and walked away, Robin turned back to the screen.
"You should leave him alone, don't get in his way or interfere; he'll be back here in a few days."
Getting a confused look at the slight edge of fear she could hear in his voice, Batgirl crossed her arms over her chest.
"Just who is this guy and why are you scared of him?"
Quickly looking around to make sure Raven had gone Robin let out a sigh.
"Several reason; one if anything happenes to him Raven will kick my ass, two, even though I can't tell you why he's in Gotham I will say that its important he finds what he's looking for as soon as possible. The third reason his that even though I don't know much about him, what I do know is that you can't beat him in a fight, he's too powerful."
His frown deepening even more, Bruce sat back in his chair with his hands gripping the sides tightly.
"What do you mean we can't beat him?"
"I don't know everything he can do; he's even more secretive then you are, but what I have seen is enough to make me weary. Super speed, super strength, transportation, control over wind and fire, regeneration/healing, something I can't actually explain when he gets pissed off that is apparently called Killing Intent, combat skills, the ability to run up vertical surfaces, some kind of sound manipulation and possible increased intelligence. These are the one we know about, although Raven might know more I'm not sure."
Eyes widening slightly at the list of known abilities the blonde apparently had, Barbra let out a whistle.
"If he's so powerful, and dating one of your team, why haven't you got him to join you yet."
Both saw the uncomfortable look on his face and before he could answer, Bruce spoke.
"He refused"
"...Pretty much, yeah. He doesn't want to be a hero."
"What else can you tell us about him?"
"Not much, not even Raven knows everything, though I'm positive sure she knows more then she's telling us, and the only one that dose know him wouldn't talk. He moved here about three years ago from Japan, I checked his papers and although they are good it's obvious they are fake, he is the richest man in Jump city, donates to a lot of charities, runs a book store and lives in a small flat behind it. For the most part he's laidback, but has serious moments and when he gets pissed off...I really don't know how to explain it but its bad. He recently paid bail for three of our regular villains and has them fixing his store, which they broke, and I don't know what he did but they are living with him and the guy I mentioned before and haven't committed a crime since."
They spent several minutes in silence, thinking over everything Robin had told them, before Batman nodded.
"Can you send us a picture of him?"
"I already did, I sent you a file a few weeks ago with the information I had on him at the time to ask you to look into him."
Nodding, Bruce was about to say something else before he was cut off.
"Robin-"
"I've got to go, talk to you another time."
Without another word the boy wonder cut the connection and the screen in front of them went black.
Letting out a sigh, feeling the hand Barbra lay on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, Bruce brought up the file Robin had sent him a few weeks ago, his eyes widening slightly when he saw the photo. It was the blonde teen he had seen at the zoo earlier in the day, the one that Harley had taken a shine to.
Once again Naruto couldn't help but laugh inside his head at the reaction he was getting from the people around him as he pulled up outside the building that the fundraiser was being held. He pulled up on his bike wearing blue jeans, a red shirt under his leather jacket, and after taking off his helmet, a black bucket hat. He walked up the red carpet with his hands in his pockets, a small smile on his lips and ignoring the question about who he was from the reporters on either side of the carpet, made his way into the extravagant building.
The actual ball room was huge, with a high ceiling, five crystal chandleries set into different place above their heads. The walls where painted a light cream, with dark red curtains on either side of the floor to ceiling windows, and the floor was covered in an equally red carpet. He could see several waiters in white suits carrying trays around the room, stopping at random groups of people before moving on to the next and a large table to his left they was full of food. A stage had been place in the middle of the room for the band that was playing, and probably for any announcements later on.
The people, all dressed in expensive clothes, walked around with an air superiority that made the whiskered teen physically sick to his stomach. Naruto couldn't help but think of the irony, the money spent on the clothes these people were wearing probably cost more then the money they were going to donate.
Many heads turned in his direction as he made his way across the room, the reactions as varied as the people themselves. He saw several women giving him admiring looks, men frowning or shaking their heads at his state of dress, and a few that seemed confused as to why he was allowed through the front door by security.
It didn't take him long to find the mayor, an elderly man in his late fifties a drink in one hand while he talked to a group of men and women that seemed to find everything he said hilarious. When they saw him walking towards them they fell silent, the only one that seemed to actually know who he was being the Mayor himself, who put on what Naruto assumed was supposed to be a friendly smile.
"Mr Uzumaki, a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I have heard nothing but good things about you from my assistants."
Shaking the hand that was offered, Naruto returned the smile and nodded his head.
"Thank you, I was actually hoping to discuss several things with you, if you have the time?"
Letting out a good natured laugh, which was copied by several of the people around them, the Mayor patted him on the shoulder before shaking his head.
"Tonight is not about business, it's about having some fun! You should relax, mingle a little, after all you're only young once!"
Raising an eyebrow, the whiskered teen shook off the hand before frowning slightly.
"Fun you say? I was led to understand that this was a fundraiser for the homeless of Gotham."
