[ Shock and awe is a little wasted on him. After his first "car ride" with the Batman and the several days starving and scrounging around in the darkness of his cold cave, Robin's a little over anything too shocking. His partner is a lot less predictable when it comes to his lessons in horror, and it's made Robin less sensitive and sympathetic to other people.
Case-in-point? The men below. He follows quietly down the building's fire exit to get a better angle. His concern isn't for the victim, but the men preying on him. Usually with Batman at his side he doesn't need to worry so much about his devil may care approach to crime fighting. He's usually a convenient distraction or finisher since he's never been formally trained by him. But now he has other skills. They started as an attempt to win back his good graces, but that ship has sailed. Maybe he can wow the spandex off the new guy instead.
Robin waits in the shadows as they grow bigger, sucking up every particle of light in the alley. It bleeds across the perpetrators like a thick ink. Only one notices right away and tries to back out of the yawning mouth that's swallowing the alley. The others are too busy keeping the Red Hood at bay to see what's coming. ]
