Tim Drake, awakening new powers after a bout with Poison Ivy

Tim Drake had been missing for a month. In that time, no one had any clue where he was. Either he had hidden himself well or whoever had taken him hid him well. No one received any answers, save for Tim himself, when he came back. He shut off all contact with everyone he knew as only a civilian and dedicated himself wholly to being Red Robin.

Of course, something changed within him during the month he was missing. He activated new pheromone based powers, all thanks to Poison Ivy. She now sat in his penthouse, waiting for him to return. She couldn't do anything but worship him now, completely addicted to the pheromones of her own creation.

Tim had studied everything he could about his new powers. A brief bit of experimentation revealed that most women didn't have any real reaction to his new pheromones. After a rigorous bout of study of both the pheromones and the human genome, he discovered that they didn't affect the average person. So who would they affect? He got his answer on his next team up mission as Robin.

He was in Las Vegas, the good old city of sin, following up on a thief who had escaped from Gotham. He had ties to someone bigger, but Tim wasn't exactly sure who. Whoever it was, they had muscle. Enough that one mostly normal person couldn't get through. Luckily, he found some help.

(This is really more of an explanation and exposition, the real beginning will be in the next chapter.)
