46Disclaimer- (stuck in a white room in strait jacket) I don't own them, I don't own them. I DON'T OWN THEM! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (I've officially lost it)
A/N: again I'm really, really, really sorry it takes so long. My dad might be nice and give fanfic back to me for the summer so I'll hopefully have major updates. Pleeze continue reviews.
Chapter 11:
Robin-
I woke up lying on a hospital bed. I wasn't strapped down. Wait why would Slade pass the opportunity to strap me to a bed and force me to listen to him? I sat up and winced as I recalled what happened to me. I got up off the bed and started for the door when I heard chuckling behind me. I spun around to see Slade leaning against a wall in the back of the room. I glared at him and he walked forward.
"Enjoy the glory Robin you have a wonderful gift now." Slade said still advancing on me.
"What are you talking about?!" I nearly yelled walking backwards till my back was pressed against the wall. Slade didn't answer instead he pulled out a knife and thrust it into my sternum. I expected to fall to the floor in shock but instead I just looked up at him in shock. "What did you do to me?!" I screamed.
"Let's just say that the need to have you as my apprentice can wait now. I have all the time in the world and now so do you." Slade said pulling the knife out of my chest. "Welcome to the world of immortality" he set the knife down and walked to the door. "Feel free to leave at any time. You'll come back to me." with that he left, before he got too far he came back. "And if you tell your friends about this I will come collect you early." He vowed and walked away.
I stared at the knife Slade stabbed me with in horror. I couldn't believe that he just did that to me. Now I knew why Slade let me leave when he shot me the first time and why he didn't bother fixing my arm when he broke it. It explained everything that had happened to me. I decided I had to run home and make up a story about why I was set free. I knew Slade well enough to know that if I told he'd keep his vow, and I wanted as much time as possible with Raven.
Running home was a thrill for me. This time I didn't speed to Raven's room because they were all huddled by the computer obviously looking for me.
"Where did he go?!" I heard Cyborg yelled. I cleared my throat loudly and they all turned to look at me.
"Robin?" Raven asked as if unsure I was really here. "Yes Raven, it's me." I said. Next thing I knew we were in a warm embrace. Not bone crushing like Starfire's hugs but gentle and soft. It ended quickly though when the other titans tackled me to the ground.
"Robin we missed you so much!" yelled Starfire.
"Yo man how'd you escape?" Cyborg asked clapping me on the back.
"It was kinda like last time. I don't really know why but Slade just kinda let me go. I don't get it. He's playing with me and I need to figure out what he's doing." I said backing up for space. "I'll be in my room if you need me." I walked off without another word to them.
"Man he's as mysterious, annoying, and puzzling as Slade." I heard Beastboy say.
"WHAT?!" I spun around so fast the other titans were shocked. Beastboy immediately realized his mistake.
"well- i- look-" Beastboy tried to say.
"IT'S BAD ENOUGH SLADE'S AFTER ME, BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO SAY I'M LIKE HIM! YOU HAVE TO COMPARE ME TO HIM!" I shouted. My hands had curled into tight fists. I was ticked off. Beastboy was right in more ways then he knew, but I didn't want to be reminded. "I'll be in my room if you need me." I repeated and stormed off. It was all I could do not to pummel Beastboy into the next century. I was so angry that when I got to my room I starting throwing things around screaming in fury.
Raven-
I left soon after Robin. Beastboy knew better then to say that about Robin especially when he was around. I walked past Robin's room and heard him scream in anger. I phased through the door not bothering to knock. Robin felt my presence immediately and stopped his fit.
"What do you want Raven?" he asked not looking at me. I could hear the pain in his voice.
"What are you hiding from me Robin?" I asked moving to look at his face.
I placed my hand to his cheek and felt the wet tears falling from his face. Robin had never cried. I mean never. Not that anyone ever saw anyway. He held my hand to his cheek and continued crying. We walked over to his bed and sat down. When we sat Robin broke down. I had never seen him this vulnerable. It was a little scary. I did the only thing I could think of. I comforted him. I let him cry and lean against me for support. I occasionally hear him mumble. "Why Slade, How could you do this to me?" I wondered what he meant but knew now was not the time.
He finally calmed down and now we were lying on his bed just talking about things in general. For the first time since we fought the brotherhood of evil I actually felt content. Robin and I were together and everything was going to be ok. Or so I thought.
A/N: thanx for reading pleeze review. I check my reviews every so often so if I have reviews I'll make an effort to update faster.
