A heavy blanket of rain encompassed jump city. It was the horror movie kind of storm, and where as it may terrorize others, it didn't phase Robin. He looked out over his city, his home. The tower, cold and silent, was his only true companion it seemed. He couldn't stop thinking about Slade. Trigon was dead and gone thankfully but where had his Arch Enemy gone? That man... what he had done, none of the others knew. Robin felt if he caught him, perhaps he could atone for his old transgressions. If the team knew... what would they say?
Sighing, Robin looked away and turned to walk to his room only to bump into someone.

"Sorry I di-"

His words were cut off as someone grabbed him around the throat and brought his face to his.

"Miss me?" Slade taunted.

Robin struggled fiercly but could do nothing against the iron grip. His blows fell on what felt like an immobile brick wall. He gasped for air and growled. "No."
"Oh but yes. I owe you all a bit of payback." Slade said as he walked to the window, calm as could be.

"Leave... them... alone!" Robin continued to struggle.

"I think I'll start with the little black bird. After of course, I see if this one can fly." Slade threw Robin, shattering the glass. Robin fell, without his gear and without help.

"No, Raven!" He tried to warn her in vain, as there was no way she would hear him.
As he fell through the air he heard someone shouting his name.

"Robin!"
"Noooooooooo!" He continued yelling as the wind ripped the air out of his lungs until...

Robin awoke in a cold sweat. It was dark, impairing his vision. "You okay?" Raven asked as his eyes began to adjust. She was sitting on the sofa by the bottom of his blanket. He took a second to come back to reality before relaxing. "Yeah, I'm fine." The silence hung for a minute.

"You were having a pretty serious nightmare."

"Yeah." Robin agreed.

"But you said my name. Was it..." Trigon? She didn't dare say his name, lest she jinx something.

"Yes and no." Robin's eyes were now fully adjusted so he saw Raven cast her gaze downward guiltly. He said seriously, "It's Slade. He was going to hurt you."

"Oh." She said simply. Did Robin mean her, or the Titans in general. He had shouted her name out though. She pushed the thought from her head. "Well, I'm alive." She said in her usual tone.

Robin chuckled, "I noticed. And I'm glad." He looked over at the glowing blue digital clock on the wall, not catching Raven's light blush. "It's nearly three. Why are you up?" He asked.

"Couldn't sleep." She said simply.

"And how'd I end up on the sofa?"

"You fell asleep watching the T.V."

"And the blanket?"

"I was reading on the couch. You were shivering."

Robin was quiet for a moment. "Thanks."

Raven nodded.

"Your not cold?"

"Nope." She lied.

Robin looked at her.

"A little, but I'll be fine."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

More silence. "Okay, well, goodnight." Robin, feeling extremely tired, lay back down and tried to go back to sleep.

Raven stayed up a little longer. She had also lied when she said she was reading. She was out here because she was afraid. Afraid that if she turned around, she'd find a set glowing red eyes watching her. She was still scared, but not being alone helped. As she tried not to think about it, she felt panic edging at her mind and driving her blood icy. She needed some kind of comfort now or she was going to scream.

Keeping her voice calm, Raven gently prodded Robin's side, thinking him asleep. Even in sleep wear, he kept his mask on. None of the Titan's had ever seen his eyes. Ever.
"Robin?" She hesitated. "I'm cold."

Robin gave a sleepy smile and lifted up the blanket, which she promptly curled up under, back to Robin's chest. She felt his warmth overwhelm and comfort her, driving her panic away. He had brought her back, had saved her. He made her feel safe. Closing her eyes, her mind began to blur, not noticing sleepy-Robin wrapping his arm around her waist. Neither of them thought much of how this might would be viewed. They both fell quickly asleep, each unknowingly comforting the other.
