Nobody can really understand what its like to be me they try but all seem to fall short because of me my mother is dead, because of me the world was nearly ended, because of me my brother was...oh wait you didn't know I have a brother....actually nether did I but I was soon to find out I wasent the only child of Trigon.
In the training room of the titans tower robin is furiously dodging and attacking different targets as they some into his view, buit he was also a little disopointed with himself he was a seasoned and dissaplined fighter and yet when he was angry he threw kicks and punches harder, threw farther faster and generally fought harder if not less gracefully he wanted more then anything for the targets to be slade, the damage that slade had inflicted on him was not fully healed yet but even so he was in good enough shape to level seriour damage. Suddenly one of the offencive machines cought him by supprise and landed a blow to his left ribs sending him to the ground in pain he couldent move he knew his ribs werent completly healed the pain came back to him but more then that the emotions he felt as slade beat him. He punched the ground as tears fell onto the floor "Why?" he asked himself why he couldent beat slade, the power trigon had given him was gone now and yet he was all the more powerfull.
The lights began to dull and then go out as robin stood erect ready for an attack from the darkness "SLADE!?" He cries the echo hurts his ears as the sound moves, no responce but then in the dark he herd what sounded like a slow patronising clap "Oh how the mighty have fallen" A singly spotlight shines down on robin, still in his fighting stance he was more then a little confused the voice was not slade in fact it sounded almost femanin but he wasent fooled in that voice was something deadly and compatent as hell. "Who are you?" robin asks fingering his comunicator that to his suprise was not functioning, another spotlight appears a few feat to robins left he turns quicky to see who it is, a young man not much older then himself laying on a victorian couch, his features were gentle not nearly as sharp as robins, but still quite handsome with pail skin and gold lamplight eyes that seemed to glow, he wore what appeared to be a school uniform of black slacks, wingtip shoes, black vest and blazer with a white satin shirt.
Resting his head on his left arm "you seem a strong young man, why did you let him win?" the question seemed to bother robin almost as much as the young man himself "I...I didn't lose on purpose" almost feeling ubsurd explaining to a total stranger, Smiling the youth stands and aproaches robin smiling, "Poor boy" he touches robins left arm running it up so his bisep giving it a squees "So..hard, you must do this everyday." he then moves his hands to robins chest and frowns "Oh i see the problem", Robin was struck speechless this stranger was taking liberties with his body but he was not trying to stop him, "What, what do you see?" the youth jumps back onto the back of the couch like a cat placing his hands on his feat "It's simple you have a broken heart and if you beat slade you couldent focus your emotion on anything but that!" smiling as he reads robins heart to him "You let slade almost kill you in order to validate your own emotion, not very smart Richard" thats snaps robin into fury he has never told anyone, not even his own team his real name "NOW LISTEN HERE!" pointing at the intruder "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" the youth smiles "Oh I am so sorry for being so rude" he jumps backwards into the darkness and lands behind robin "I have forgotten my manners" Robin jumps away from the person behind him "My name is Nex ut Stultus" He sais with a deep bow "But you can call me Nex".
Robin after clearing his head askes "what do you want?" the look on nex's face was just pure shock "Why, what you called me for I'm here to help you, you may not have called me with your word of action but with your heart" Plaching both hands on top of each other over his heart nex faked crying "If your mocking me just leave" Barked robin "A more serious look came to Nex "No, I cannot do that once I have been called I cannot leave untill what I have been called upon to do, it is very very bad mannors to summon a spirate and then dismiss him without even ablidging him for his service" The aura that surrounded this boy was powerfull, very powerfull so much so it was making robins hair tingle he started to feel frightend, apearing behind robin again he places his hands on robins shoulders "No...you can't understand what it's like for me to wait for the pain in someones heart to pull me here, so please don't send me away as he sais this his hands move under robins arms and up to his chest untill Nex is hugging his back "Your not what I expected you seem to nether want vengance or love yet crave both, is this girl starfire so dear to you, you wont risk loving her?" as he sais this he kisses robins ear, robin wants nothing more then to jump away but something is holding him fast as he herd the words he dare not mention to himself.
Not moveing or responding to the boys advances "If I wanted something from you, there would be a price wouldent there?" Nex grined to himself "a small, insignificant price" Robin knew it was too good to be true "What is it?" Nex knew he was losing the intrest of this boy "After you get what you want do not dissmiss me right away, I love this world and yet I am never alowed to it unless I am called" Robin thought for a long minute, really his price was very reasonable "ok I agree just help me" powerfull hands turn robin around You agree to my terms then?" robin nods "The deal is sealed, untill you feel something real" With this ryme Nex kisses robin, robin shocked can't move this was the first time he ever kissed, boy or girl but in this hiss on the floor gold letters appeared in a circle around them and three red beams of light move from the forhead and cheeks of Nex ut Stultus and move threw their lips and into robins face where they dissapere, breaking the kiss Nex smiles, "Thank you now our pact is seald".
Raven sound asleep shoots up out of bed holding her hand over her heart and breathing heavily, "That power, I've felt it before" Raven stands and dissapers to the training room.
