Who Tim Drake and OPEN
What Tim arrives in the arena.
Where Main Street towards Tomorrowland
When Week 2
Warnings/Notes None so terrible. Punchy has grievous head wounds.
When his body raises up over tube, Tim runs. It's the beauty of the fight or flught response in the absence of an aggressor - just go; you can panic later. He doesn't wait for the platform to stop, doesn't study his surroundings for more than the instant that it takes to verify that there is, in fact, ground aside from the platform.
Other things click into place quickly as he moves along a street. The long abandoned stores. The absence of people. If this really is an arena, he doesn't see or hear his competitors yet, but he's not stopping to really observe until there's some room between where they put because it's obviously where they want him to be. Sticking out like a sore thumb, a lone target in the open.
It's unnerving, having so very little to go on. He should have fought more on the way in. Too late for that now, he thinks. Work with what you have.
The arena is old, crumbling in fact. Has it been used before? Is it real, broken down by time? If it's a facade, someone wasted a lot of time reclaiming materials for... What? Some place that unknown assailants throw their kidnapped victims and force them to battle to the death? It doesn't make sense, and almost everything makes sense once you know enough about whose behind it.
Well, he hasn't seen anything clownish, so that eliminates the almost. But what he does see still stops him in his tracks.
Tim catches as his breath, alternating staring at the large, domed structure ahead and checking his six. He remembers that building, remembers promising that he's not too little or too scared, just please one ride.
It's Space Mountain.
This is Disneyland.
Which means that he needs to add 'when he is' onto the growing list of questions that he has. None of which will ever get answered if he continues to stand around gawking like a mint green dope. Space Mountain is as good a place to start as any - if he can climb it, he'll have a good view.
He starts towards it, because that's better than letting his mind waits while it works out if he's now spiraling through time like Bruce was, and he's moving quickly but with more purpose now, keeping close to any buildings and debris and generally trying to stay out of the middle of the street. Get to the mountain, see what there is to see, find out if this is a real death match, then worry about the big picture.

He strokes his chin as he thinks about that for a moment. "Three. Two to bust up laying down the experiments, one to use when we got the sitch figured."

He's not sure why he's so eager to help. Probably due to the injury. Anyone who was badly hurt and still focused on sabotaging a common enemy, the one who kidnapped them, has his allegiance.
Unless this is all an elaborate ruse, and Punchy is the real enemy, secretly hired by the League of Assassins to gain Tim's trust and... what? The theory springs a few leaks here. Anything that he can come up with that would be worth this setup - there are easier, cheaper ways.
"I'll back as soon as I can." Tim starts walking backwards towards the tunnel.
