Dragon has posed:
The night was warm and not too humid near Bay Side. Clear out, although it was tough to see the stars in the city. There were several people walking, out for a stroll, including couples and even some single people going in and out of the fine resturants that line the street. The sounds of conversation, a few notes of laughter, and people enjoying each others company was easily heard.

Walking down the street on a weekend, Richard Dragon takes his time, not having to be anywhere. Taking in the sights and sounds, his eyes were relaxed although still attentive to what was happening around him. Inhaling deeply, he could smell the flowers blooming in a nearby park. It was an enjoyable walk outside.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Damian walks in the crowd covered with a red hoddie connected to a way too fluffy coat that he had 'gotten' off some kids that thought they were thugs. Damian made sure they saw the error in their ways though he was careful not to get any blood on the coat itself. He had gotten word that Richard had been in this area recently, and happened to be here as well as places like this is where crime started though not yet rooted in. If he stopped them now before they grew up to know only crime then maybe he wouldn't run into them again.

He stopped on his way walking the opposite way Dragon was so he stopped for a moment looking around for something he smiled to himself. He looked down infront of him was a girl selling flowers. The boy crouched, handed her some money, whispered to something and hopefully without being seen nodded to Dragon which at this point he had spotted. The plan was simple, as Damian blocked the view to the flowers, and the flower girl he got to work on it. A small tube, with some sleeping powder a squeeze hand, and a little extra money with a promise she won't inhale it, and he sends her on her way.

He knew the stuff acted quickly, and had a small antidote ready incase the girl got it too, but was going to go swoop up a hopefully unconscious Dragon, move him into one of the buildings. Hopefully once he has him tied up, and isolated he can get the information he needed so can move on from there. He knew the girl was in no harm, and so did not feel too bad putting her up to be the one to posion him.

This whole time the girl just skips over to Dragon himself, tugging on his pant leg if needed, asking him if he would like to smell her flowers.

Dragon has posed:
With a look, Dragon looks down at the girl, and says, "Sure little one. I would be honored to smell your flowers?" Bending over at the waist, Dragon inhales the flowers deeply. "Did you pick them yourself or did someone help you?" Dragon stands up straight and frowns. A slight cough, and the girl disappears back the way she came as quick as her legs could carry her.

"I see." Cough. "Nicely done. Seems I will be going where you need me to then..." Saying that to whoever was within hearing distance, Dragon swoons a bit. Leaning against the wall, the poweder acts quickly. Closing his eyes he slumps against the wall, seemingly unconscious.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
As the girl runs out Damian moves in to what he knows is in what he considers the real danger zone. He swoops under Dragon lifting him up, "It is alright old man I got ya, lets just go over here." the voice you would recomend as Damians calm voice not upset, nor surprised in what is happening to you right now. "Everyone just back up he has gotten too much heat" he adds moving him towards across towards one of the buildings with its lights off.

He looks focused on what he is doing going all in, he knows if the man is faking he is in real trouble though if he hesitates he won't have time to complete his plan. Without hesitation as the man didn't weigh that much usually he would start to lift/drag him towards where they were going. He knew he was going to have to pick the lock to get in, but he figured he had maybe five minutes before he woke at best so hurried just glad he was able to cover this in a crowded area. For a moment he realized if he had to do this the hard way, and shook his head.. No this was much more efficent, and it was for Tim so he did what he felt he must even if it was Dragon himself.

Dragon has posed:
Going with it, Dragon allows himself to be carried all the while breathing normally, as though, indeed, asleep. His dead weight wasn't that heavy for Damian. He's muscular, but also incredibly fit, so not too too heavy. Maybe he should have eaten those tacos for dinner as his stomach grumbles a bit. As they reach the place where Damian has whatever plans he has, Dragon takes a brief moment to raise his eyelids just a milimeter, enough to see their destination.

Keeping his breathing normal and rhythmic, he listens as well, allowing his other senses to take over to maintain the act. At the same time he prepares himself, mentally, if necessary, but now that he knows who is assailant was, he was a little less likely to be too upset.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
As Damian speeks only when he had to as he carries the 'old man' to one of the side buisness that are closed at night taking only a minute to pick the door and enter with the old man in tow. Once inside he tosses him down on the floor act or not it was time to make sure he was secured first, as he pulls some BatCuff's out to attempt to lock him down. The first two he is going for the hands because if he can get those it will help greatly, and even Damian with his gadgets could possibly stun a Dragon in cuffs, or at least in his mind he stood a better chance with them there.

With a sigh he flips the old man over shaking him out of his 'sleep' "Wake Up!" he demands of him... Shaking the man to match with the words, "Your going to answer my questions, and if I don't like the answers I am going to drop you at the GCPD tonight." he says seriously, and doesn't seem to be kidding at least he isn't in a laughing mood. Damian never really intented to hurt the man, sure a quick dose of sleep here or there, but if this was the person that is framing Tim they needed to know as it was really bad.

Dragon has posed:
Feeling the young man put the cuffs on him, Dragon allows himself a vestiage of a smile. Letting him "manhandle" him, Dragon flexes his hands a bit to get them more comfortable while Damian shakes him. Opening his left eye carefully, Dragon sits up a bit, and says, "Ah. Questions. I was wondering when you were going to actually ask me something. Thanks for the light nap. I enjoy those, seeing as how I am getting so old."

Dragon opens his other eye now, and looks upon Damian with an appraising air. "Interesting. The GCPD. I see. Well, do not let me keep you from your investigation young man. Please. Ask your questions, and I will endeavour to answer them straight away since it is way past your bed time sir."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Damian looks at him with a frown, "Alright.. 38 days ago where were you." he holds up a hand, "A month ago before you get any ideas of not remembering, How bout we start there." he pulls an empty chair over to sit so he can look down at the man sitting on the floor. He doesn't seem to rise to the quip instead just looking at Dragon with that cold stare that he usually has as it may always seem like he is looking for weaknesses a place to pounce, and end it. Of course he wouldn't even if he could, but it is an old habbit.

He pulls out a water bottle from outside of his coat, as well as a folder that has a few papers in it that he drops to the side of the chair. He doesn't offer any water instead drinking slowly infront of you he puts it down on the floor as well. He didn't look like he was going anywhere quick, nor that he had what some would call a sense of humor.

Dragon has posed:
Dragon considers the first question for a few seconds. "38 days ago. That is a very specific number. A month ago. I cannot seem to recall. My life is very busy with corporate meetings, selling stock, business stuff. I am sure you can appreciate that coming from a wealthy family such that you do." Dragon considers those set of comments.

"I must say, you certainly have that trademark cold stare down pat. I am curious as to what you think I have done? Why don't we start there and we can work our way back to...what was it? 38 days ago. It might make things go smoother." Dragon ignores the water...and the folder.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Damian doesn't blink at this he expected some resistance, "This will go a lot quicker if you just answer the question. Where were you, not what were you doing?" he glares at him again. Dragon could of done this, and no-one would of thought about it, though he would and did. So here they are now as he doesn't go for either of the objects either letting them sit there he continues, "I know who you are, and you know me.. I was kind today using some basic knock out powder. If you did this then next time I will not be so kind." he adds though does not say what he would do instead of course. "So answer the question.. 38 days ago, one month and a week... Where were you."

He waits to see what his answer would be to interupt it with another question, "How many people would you say you have trained? Any students come back for a get together recently?" he throws in almost absentmindedly. Was it a mistake, or was he curious... To this only thing Damian does is open the folder. On it is a picture of some people who were wanted that he had trained, and he just shook his head as he flipped through, "Keep talking Mr. Dragon, I need to know where ya were so we can get past this, or we are not going anywhere."

Dragon has posed:
"I do not remember actually. Was that a Thursday night? Whatever it was that you think I did, I can assure you I didn't commit any crime or do anything untoward." Frowing, Dragon says, "Thank you for being kind young man. I appreciate that. I was in Athens 38 days ago, then in Rome 30 days ago, and in Los Angeles a week ago." It was the truth. He wasn't lying. After all, there was no point.

"I have trained, literally, hundreds of people and I remember each and every one. Intimately. As for come back to me recently. No, not recently." Looking at the folder, Dragon raises an eyebrow. "Interesting dossier." Without making a sound, he was looking over Damian's shoulder, and holding out the cuffs so Damian could take them back. "If you would be more patient, I could assist you in whatever it is you are doing. Murders perhaps?"

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Damian looks at him glares a bit then nods, he knew the truth when he heard it though only because he got used to everyone lieing. Ya get an ear for it after a while, but he didn't hear it in his words. He thought about it a bit, and folded the folder back putting it in his coat as he snatched the cuffs. "If you wish to help give me a list of people that you have trained that are up to the skill level to imitate a Robin." he adds turning to walk away. He opens the door, and stops. "If you did do this, and you just tricked me with lieing I will be back, but know this is one of yours and I am going to find him."

With that he just leaves the man in the empty shop with the closed sign on it, and techically he was trespassing right now. Damian walked away head down moving towards his next goal. He would follow up here later if he got more information on which one. It could be anyone, and it wasn't going to get him further then to cross him off the list for now.
