Alrighty, well, the long-awaited sequel is here...haha, I'm only kidding myself. You guys weren't excited for this one were you? Sorry it's so short, but chapter one is loaded, so I thought i'd just ease into this one.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans or any related material.

Prologue

I used to be Robin. I used to be a Teen Titan. In fact, I used to be the leader of the Teen Titans. Not anymore.

Raven and I were kidnapped by Red X, who was having problems with Doctor Light. Everything went downhill from there. Doctor Light had teamed up with Chang, and they had discovered a way to make xinothium even more deadly. Unfortunately, I was captured trying to save Raven, and I felt the effects of the poison first. Which is why I survived.

The others are gone. Cyborg's in peices and Red X was incinerated. Raven and Beast Boy are locked permanently in her mind. And Starfire... She met up with Chang and Light and experienced the concoction at its worst.

I was devastated. My world had come to an end. It seemed there was no hope for me. And there was none. I was broken, beaten.

But I've found a way to overcome my emotions. I reverted back to the old days, so to speak. Now, I'm Slade's apprentice.

Most people thought I was insane when they found out. But there was logic to this madness. I no longer have to feel. All I have to do is obey Slade's orders and steal for him. I don't have to think about my pain anymore, and that's what I wanted.

The other Titans, Speedy, Aqualad, everybody, they're dealing with Doctor Light now. Sooner or later, I think I'll purposefully run into Chang and Light. After all, now that I'm a villain, I can give them a piece of my mind.

Slade was surprised to see me so broken, which is understandable, but now he's used to it. After all, everything happened so fast, it's hard for anybody to deal with. I've never cried so much in my life, and even now, I sometimes find my emotions overwhelming at night.

There is no hope of my friends ever coming back, and if they did, I don't think I could face them. I could have saved them if I hadn't let my emotions get in the way, but I didn't. How could I face them with that knowledge riding on my back?

I loved two girls. And my heart broke twice because of this. Raven, the empath, the unemotional, sarcastic beauty. I thought I didn't love her, and I tried to tell her so, but she didn't listen. She kissed me, and I couldn't tell her that I didn't feel anything, but I couldn't tell her that I would pick her over Starfire. I couldn't. Then Starfire and I both had the time of ours lives, only to have our hopes dashed!

I am an empty shell. I am not Robin, I am just another criminal. I am no longer the Boy Wonder. I am Slade's apprentice.
