It was quiet at Titan Tower. All was dark through the hallways and the only noise was the buzz of the TV and Beastboy's snores as he lay on the couch with a game controller in his hand.
The full moon shone through the windows and cast long shadows across the floor. One such shadow, cast by a stray lamp on a table, seemed to move slightly, almost too little for the eye to catch. At lay still for a few seconds, then faster than the eye could see, it darted to the wall and into the shadows, following them down the hallway and toward the team's rooms.

Robin was confused. He had woken to find that he was laying face-down on a hard dirt floor. He lifted his head and opened his eyes. His mouth dropped open at what he saw.
He was lying on one of the roads in the city, but the road had been cracked and burned. The buildings around him were burned and crumbling. There were piles of debris everywhere. He looked horror-struck at his once beautiful city and what had happened to it.
In one pile of debris he saw someone who had been injured, but it wasn't just any someone. It was...
"Starfire!" He yelled as he ran over to her.
"Robin," she said weakly and reached her hand to him. She had cut and bruises all over her. A huge gash on her temple bled heavily. She looked at him though tear filled eyes. He crouched down and gently lifted her up by her shoulders. He saw something change about her expression, but before he could even recognize it, it was gone.
"Starfire, what happened?" he asked anxiously.
"I don't remember," she replied, her voice quivering. She leaned her head against his chest and a tear dropped on his uniform. He held her close and gently rubbed her back, comforting her. "Robin, there is something I must tell you."
"Yes?" he asked.
She pushed herself up so her lips were right next to her ear. She put her hand behind her back and whispered, "Die" She hissed and pulled a knife from behind her back and plunged it into his side.
Robin gasped as he felt the cold metal rip its way inside him. He collapsed to the ground and looked up at Starfire. She has a cruel smirk on her face. Robin started to say something, but he started coughing violently as blood came up in his throat. He closed his eyes, wishing it would end, his heart breaking from Starfire betraying him.
………………..
Robin woke in a cold sweat, gasping for air. He immediately felt his side and found no wound. He shivered slightly from the horrible dream. He looked at the clock; it read 5:30am.
"Well," he said to himself, "I won't be able to get to sleep again. He walked out of his room toward the kitchen to get some breakfast.
………………..
I Starfire's room the soft light of the sun coming up filtered through the windows. She slept soundly, tired from the trials of the day before. Under her door something crept in soundlessly, a mere shadow gliding across the floor. Quickly it moved toward the bed. It flowed into Starfire's mouth and was gone, slipping deep into her body to do unknown trouble.
………………..
Hope that's better, I feel that it is.
