Hey there.

I know it's been a while, but I've been swampe with school. It's the end of the term and we're finishig up all our projects.

Anyways. I've worked really hard on this. I always wanted to write Robin as an emperor anda Jedi. Hope you guys like it.

FLAMES ARE NOT EXCEPTED.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or Star Wars.

Chapter 1

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU. HOW COULD YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS?" yelled Cyborg.

"YEAH DUDE. YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL OF US KILLED." Screamed Beast Boy.

"Robin what were you trying to do?" Raven asked monotonously.

"I WAS TRYING TO TRICK HIM." Robin yelled back.

"YEAH WELL IT SERIOUSLY BACKFIRED." Cyborg shouted. "SLADE GUESSED YOU WERE RED X AND ALMOST GOT WHAT HE WANTED. I MEAN COME ON COULDN'T YOU TRUST US WITH THE SECRET?"

"I TOLD YOU WHY I DIDN'T TELL YOU. IT WAS SO AS TO MAKE SURE YOU WOULDN'T HOLD BACK AND GIVE ME AWAY." Robin shouted.

"YEAH, BUT HE KNEW ANYWAY." Cyborg yelled.

"ALRIGHT I ADMIT I WAS WRONG. OKAY? NOW EXCUSE ME." Robin yelled and attempted to leave the room.

"No man. We're not done here." Cyborg said. Robin turned around and faced him. "Robin recently you've stopped being a good leader. You've run into stuff without thinking, you've hidden stuff from us and you've become obsessed with Slade. You no longer worry about the team's well being."

"AND CAPTURING SLADE IS NOT FOR THE TEAM'S WELL BEING?" Robin screamed.

"We're just saying that maybe its time you gave up being leader." Raven said monotonously.

Time seemed to freeze before Robin's eyes. His body froze. His mind stopped functioning. Over and over in his head he replayed the scene.

"What?" he whispered.

"I'm taking over as leader." Cyborg stated.

"WHAT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LOT. THIS IS MY TEAM. I FORMED THE TITANS. I PAY ALL THE MONEY THAT GOES IN AND OUT OF THIS PLACE. I'M THE ONE THAT HAS TO PAY FOR ALL THE DAMN REPAIRS. I'M THE ONE THAT GETS THE FOOD, THE EQUIPMENT AND ALL THAT. I DO EVERYTHING." He screamed.

"He ha a point you know. Who's gonna pay for my pizza expenses?" Beast Boy asked. The others glared at him. "Okay. Shutting up now."

"Well that's not how a team works." Said Cyborg.

"Fine" said Robin deciding it was pointless to argue.

He turned on his heel and left the room. He walked towards Starfire's room. Awhile back he and Starfire had started dating. She would be sympathetic. He knew she would be. As he approached Starfire's room he heard voices. He approached her door and he could clearly make out Starfire and Speedy's voice coming from inside. He opened the door a crack and what he saw shocked him to his very core. Inside Starfire and Speedy were locked in a deep passionate kiss! They broke the kiss and gazed lovingly at each other.

"I love you Star." Speedy said.

"I love you too Speedy." Starfire stated.

"What about Robin?" Speedy asked.

"I only dated him because I felt sorry for him. What could any girl see in him? Besides you are far stronger, smarter and better than he ever will be. I will tell him it is over tomorrow." Starfire replied.

For the second time that night time seemed to freeze for Robin. He had just seen his girlfriend or rather his ex-girlfriend kissing and confessing her love to his best friend or rather his ex best friend. He felt like someone had shoved a dagger down his throat, gorged it through his heart, ripped it out of his gut, smashed it against the ground and stomped all over it. Anger, hate and pain surged through him. Robin flung open the door. The couple broke apart and stared at him.

"Don't bother telling me Star I already know." He stated before turning on his heel and heading for his room. He was in such a rage that he banged right into Raven. He looked at her.

"What happened to you?" she asked. "You look like someone just shoved a dagger down your throat, gorged it through your heart, ripped it out of your gut, smashed it against the ground and stomped all over it."

"What happened to me Raven? You want to know what happened to me?" he said. "WELL FIRST MY OWN TEAM STRIPS ME OF MY TITLE AS LEADER AND INSULTS ME LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. THEN I FIND OUT MY SO CALLED GIRLFRIEND IS CHEATING ON ME WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND IS IN LOVE WITH HIM AND SHE ONLY DATED ME BECAUSE SHE FELT SORRY FOR ME. SO AS YOU CAN SEE RAVEN I'M NOT EXACTLY HAVING THE BEST DAY IN HISTORY." With that Robin stormed into his room and the door shut behind him.

Robin sat on his bed trying to calm down and hold back the tears that threatened to overwhelm him. He heard a knock on his door.

"WHAT?" he shouted.

"Robin I want to talk to you." came Raven's voice.

"I don't want to talk to any of you." he replied.

"Robin please. Just let me in." Raven said. "Come on even I'm not so personal about my room. And besides I just want to talk."

"Fine" Robin stated before opening the door. Raven entered the room and seated herself on the bed. Robin shut his door and stood in front of her. "Well start talking."

"Robin you're getting too steamed up about this." Raven said. Robin opened his mouth, but she cut him off. "You have every right to be furious, but Robin listen to me you deserve way better than her."

"Maybe she's right." he said. "What would any girl ever see in me?"

"Robin" she started.

"Don't call me that." he said.

"What should I call you?" she asked.

"Call me Richard or Dick or Rich, but not that." He stated.

"Rich. Look at me." Raven said. Robin or rather Rich looked at her. "You are smart and funny and handsome and if Starfire can't realize that then she doesn't deserve you."

"Thanks Rae." Rich said smiling at her. She smiled back.

"See you later" she said as she patted his shoulder and exited the room. The door shut behind her.

Rich looked around his room. He walked to his desk where he had several framed pictures of him and the Titans. He picked up one of him and Starfire. Just this photo made him hurt. He looked at the one next to it. It was of all the Titans on the day the Titans were formed. This too made him hurt. He looked at all the pictures and each made him hurt more and more. Finally with one sweep of his arm he pushed all of them onto the ground. The glass and frames smashed. He tore the articles about the Titans off the walls and ripped them into pieces. He opened his cupboard and tore all his Robin costumes. He destroyed everything in the room that had anything to do with the Titans or Robin. He pulled out and changed into a pair of black shorts and a black shirt. He kept his mask on and his utility belt. He also kept a picture from a news clipping. It was of him and Raven. How they got her to agree to it he would never know. He just couldn't bring himself to tear it in half. So finally he put it in his pocket. He put all his money in a wallet and put it in his pocket. Finally he pulled out his communicator and smashed it against the cement wall destroying it. He climbed onto the windowsill and used his grappling hook to swing to the ground. He entered the garage and got on his bike. He drove to the city and then he climbed off his bike and pushed it into the sea. Rich went to the outskirts of the city. Just as he was about to leave Jump City he turned around and faced it.

"Goodbye Jump City. Goodbye Teen Titans. Goodbye Raven. Goodbye Robin." He said as he turned his back on the city that he had once loved.

And as he turned his back Robin died, but Richard Grayson was reborn.

Well that's the first chapter. Hope you liked it. I know it's a bit short, but the others will be longer. This is more like the prologue.
