"Busy, eh? Well, why don'cha take a load off for a moment and... spread your wings, bird-boy?" Mxyzptlk said, and he snapped his fingers. A moment later, Robin was an actual robin, though he could still talk and apparently the bats in the Batcave were not aware of his presence.
Abby's eyes widened. "What'd ya do that fer?!" she asked Mxy angrily, and he flew close to her face.
"I taught the guy a lesson: Don't mess with the Superior Bein'! You know, you're kinda cute for a little girl; how's about I turn you into somethin'? How's about... a bunny?" Mxy said, and he snapped his fingers.
Nothing happened.
Mxy grunted in surprise and snapped his fingers a few more times, but Abby seemed unaffected by his powers and he couldn't figure out why. He turned his head, looking at... something the others could not see, and said: "Say what? 'Good luck powers'?! Aw, that's the biggest load of-- Okay okay, sorry, don't send me back!"

At first it appeared the teen had completely vanished from the cave. Instead, on the ground energetically hopped around a small feathered creature. Its belly was a reddish-orange, its wings gray, and its head a darker gray: a young American Robin. He took flight, confused to Hell why he could do such a thing in the first place. 'Robin' circled for the two Irish siblings (since they were the closest).
"What the Hell did he do to me?! Don't tell me--"

Abby actually giggled; Tim's voice, due to his size, was a bit higher-pitched than normal. Aiden took a swig of Guinness from the bottle he had placed on the floor of the cave.
"He turned ya into yer namesake, boyo," Aiden said, clearly amused at Robin's predicament and Mxy's frustration; he seemed to be ranting to someone the others couldn't see.
"... and look at'cha! Sittin' there at your keyboard, eatin' a bag of Goldfish-- yooooooou're a loser! Sheesh..." he said, and he turned back to the others. Brigade spoke up, saying: "How do we send you back to the Fifth Dimension?"
"You gotta get me to say or write my name backwards, bolt pile. But I ain't gonna do it!" Mxy said in reply. Brigade paused a moment and said: "Acknowledged, Kltpzyxm".
"No! My name's not 'Kltpzyxm', it's Mxyzptlk! Now--" Mxy paused, and looked back toward the unseen person. "Ohhh-ho-ho-ho, you're evil..." he said, a deadpan look on his face, before vanishing with a poof! and Tim returned to normal.

"Woah!"
As quickly as he had turned into a bird, Tim was suddenly back to normal... and in mid-air. He tumbled into Abby with a grunt and they both fell to the hard and bumpy cavern floor.

Thanks to her good luck powers, Abby managed to avoid injury, but when she realized her crush was on top of her, she grinned.
"My my Tim, this seems a little forward," she teased him playfully in a faux-seductive tone, and Aiden snorted.
"Hey! Yer not gettin' any kids till yer at least ten years older," he said, but he too was grinning.

"Er-"
Tim blinked and quickly rose to his feet and helped Abby up.
"Sorry 'bout that."
He made a double check to see if Mxyzptlk was actually gone.

Crystal made a pouty face. "I was hopin' ta do that..." She had been to distracted by Tim being an actual robin and events happened so quickly to really say anything before now.
She just sighed and walked over to Arell, hugging him from the side. She nuzzled her head under his arm and looked up at him all sweetly. "I'm sorry."

Arell smirked at the whole situation. "Aiden, why do I get de feelin' dem two is gonna be quite de couple?" he asked, sucking on a toothpick. He was casual about this sort of thing. But when Crystal hugged him and was starting to get sweet on him, his rough, aloof exterior (who Abby kicked in the pills) gave way to the calmer, more warm-hearted person . . . "I am, too . . ." he said softly, gently kissing her. It had been a stressful day in his life. All he wanted now, was a beer.

Jack glared at the group, his arms folded. "He had better not of been serious about my car!"
His gaze then landed on the giant penny. "No freaking way." His eyes grew big as saucers. "I'm in the Batcave?"

"Sorry? For what? I'm not sorry," Abby said with a sly grin, batting her eyelashes at Tim, while Aiden watched with much amusement.
"Look at it this way, fella: He breaks her heart, I break his spine," Aiden said to Arell, but his grin showed he was (mostly) joking, and then he looked over to Jack.
"Yep, yer in th' Batcave, boyo," he said simply.

Tim cleared his throat a bit after Abby's latest gesture, just before realizing that through all the weird craziness yet another person appeared in the cave. This caused Tim to sigh sharply. Was there any rhyme or reason to this? Apparently not.
"Yep, not much of a secret anymore."
He looked around the cave from where the group stood, and in doing so it prompted Robin to get a move on. He still had so much to do, what was he thinking just standing there?? He turned to look at Abby again.
"Sorry about that tour of Gotham, it having to take a rain check and all, but I really need to get to police HQ now."
He glanced Aiden's way and to whoever else was standing nearby. If anything it was an invitation to come along, but he needed to be quick, and anyone coming would have to be able to vanish without a moment's notice.

Crystal Kissed Arell back on the chin before the new guy showed up. "Umm... We don't know anything about your car but you're more than welcome to go look for it your self if you like."
She then looked to Tim. "I'll come along with you." Before Tim could object she was getting on her bike. "And don't you dare tell me to go rest, because I'm fine." She was about unwilling to just stop as Batman with broken ribs.

Jack looked around the room and, spotting the Batcycle, he walked over and got on it. "I'm coming too." He then looked down to realize his watch had a retrieval button on it for his car and pressed it.
"Out of range?! What the heck?!" He glared at his watch."bas.tard..."

Arell smirked. "Got a shovel in de truck. I know at least 30 places t' hide de body." he said with a wink towards Aiden. He still had an arm around Crystal as he looked at the new guy. "Che', you can trace stuff on de bat computer, right?" he asked her, hoping they could locate the fellow's car.
He looked over at Tim. "I think I caused 'nuff Damage. Reckon Dundee or C.J. may wanna go." he said with a shrug.

"We shall attempt to locate the new arrival's car," Brigade said to Arell. "We possess a wireless uplink to the Internet. We require a description of the car, as well as license plate numbers; once we have them we will attempt to locate the vehicle." Then Brigade looked to Robin and said: "Robin, we shall use our Internet uplink to keep track of your movements and warn you of any danger, if you so desire."
Abby looked over to Tim and kissed him on the cheek again. "Good luck, Tim," she said softly, not noting the irony of her statement: She was a walking source of good luck. "I'd come with ya, but I wanna stay here with me brother and catch up. Just, when yer done... Gimme that tour o' the city, or I'll send you packin' like I did Arell," she continued, jerking a thumb at the Cajun. She pretended to sound menacing, but her grin showed she was only joking.
