Who: Spoiler & Robin Where: Gotham City : Rooftops! When: 12/30/2009 What: Robin and Spoiler try and get a head start on keeping Gotham city crime under control in 2010. Or you know, it's just another average night in Gotham, with two teenage vigilantes meeting up while on patrol. Rating: TBA -- but I'd guess, G, PG at most.
Alfred wanted him to go out and have a good time on New Years Eve, or rather go out and have a nice normal time, like the normal teenage that Dick wasn't exactly. Dick wasn't sure about that, he figured that New Years Eve was the kind of night that you wanted to be out on patrol. There would be all the usual crazies that came out at night in Gotham, plus all kinds of people out looking for a good time --- Well Dick wasn't going to argue with Alfred about his plans.
So he was out tonight to do a really long and through patrol, to make up for it if he couldn't get out tomorrow night. He figured he was going to appease Alfred by going to Steph's party at 4, and than ducking out early.
So yes, Dick (dressed as Robin) mind was more on New Years eve, than it was on the present. He took a flying leap from one building to the next, and misjudged his landing. He stumbled a bit, but managed to stay on his feet. It wasn't huge misstep that he had made, just a minor one, but still. It reminded him that he should be focused on the hear and now. It was still 2009, 2010 was still a day away.
