The Sacrifice

The rain fell on a darken Jump city as life continued. Robin looked up and soaked the rain as he contemplated his situation. Never had things been so dire. He closed his eyes, trying to ignore the pain that was coming from his body. It wasn't working as with each step he only felt his pain increase. Leaning to the wall for support he went down to one knee.

Everything was spinning. Everything was hurting. All his senses were dulled out. He leaned over to reach behind him. The shuriken was still pierced in his back. He held it for a second getting ready for the pain he was about to feel.

"Argh!" he groaned as he pulled it out in swift motion. He relaxed for second as he felt the warmth of his blood streak down his back. He reached for his belt and pulled a small canister.

"I hope this stuff works like Batman said."

He reached to his wound and stuck the point inside, "hrmmm" and pressed the button. He groaned again at the feeling of something clogging the wound.

"Well that's done, now for the two in the front." He proceeded to do the same again twice. He leaned his back to the wall and sat down looking at the dark sky that only seemed to rain upon him.

"Guess even the sky has given up hope on me," he muttered as he began to feel so weak, "I can't save them and the city knows."

A loud beep came from the communicator as Robin was resting. He picked it up knowing full well who it was. With a sound in his voice that could only be described as hate, "Slade!"

"Well done Robin. You managed to defeat Red X, as well as all the previous villains that I had instructed you."

"That's right; now give me back my friends!"

"Temper Robin… you might force me to do something to harm them, especially Raven."

Robin's face went from anger to admitting defeat within a second.

"No, I'm sorry… just don't hurt her.. or the others."

Slade smiled behind his mask at the sight of Robin being so weak. He knew how to push his buttons to get what he wanted.

"You have one last task at hand to save your friends. You have to defeat me."

"When?" asking but knowing the answer.

"Right now, at the top of the tower that you are leaning on."

Robin looked up as the communicator went dead. He was up there. His greatest enemy. His greatest Foe. The man that made his life a living hell these last 24 hours. He was going to end it now.

He finally got to the top as Slade stood there waiting for him. He stumbled a bit as he tried to regain his bearings.

"My Robin, you must be really tired. Look at you; ragged, torn, and injured… if you can't beat me at full strength what makes you think you stand a chance to be now?"

Robin felt rage at the question. Not because Slade was taunting him, but because he knew he was right. But if he didn't win then all of them would die, even Raven.

"It ends now Slade! I'm going to kill you."

"Robin you couldn't kill me even if you wanted, you're too good for your own good."

Robin rushed in to attack Slade, but his movements were slow and sloppy. Slade easily avoided all of the attacks and retuned the favor with a single punch to the sternum. Robin fell to his knees as he gasped for air.

"Robin, Robin, Robin… you've become sloppy. I saw all of those a mile a way."

Robin began to cough viciously as he placed both hands on the floor. He opened his eyes to see a small pool of blood. He was bleeding internally which meant he had very little time. Slade grabbed him from behind and tossed him to the wall. Robin rolled to turn his back to Slade.

"Come on Robin at least fight back, make it interesting for me."

Slade smiled as he took his time, step by step.

Robin turned and threw his birdarangs at Slade. Slade brought out his Bo staff and blocked each one with it. After blocking the last one he saw Robin jumping at him with a sword.

They clashed as Robin's sword, made from birdarangs, and met Slade's Bo staff. Robin was determined to end it here. Slade only smiled at Robin's weak attempt to fight for his life. He slapped the sword out of his hands and knocked him down, holding Robin's neck with his boot.

"Robin please, you're weak, and it's time to put you out of your misery."

Robin began moving his feet stopped and screamed, "And you're too cocky for your own good!"

Using his feet to hold his sword he swung up and caught Slade, sword going through the small of his back. Slade grew limp from the blow and went to his knees.

Robin stood up pulled out his last birdarang and placed the edge near Slade's open neck. Breathing hard he looked Slade straight in the eye.

"I told you I would kill you." With that he pushed the edge into Slade's neck, leaving it there.

Slade lost conscious and fell forward, dead.

Robin pulled the sword out and began to walk away when his knees gave way. Blood dripping from his lips he leaned on his sword to stay upright. The rain seemed to die down a bit. The communicator began to beep as he began to lose conscious.

" static> Robin, you static> please res- static> over."

He gripped the communicator, holding down the speak button.

"Robin here," voice sounding weak, "glad to hear you're alive."

"Robin where static> you? Ro- static> Robin?"

The sound from the communicator began to fade away, slowly being replaced by mere thoughts…

'I did okay, didn't I?'

'Yes, you did.'

'I just wish I could say sorry to them for being so weak.'

'You can't… you have to go.'

'I don't want to… I don't want to die! I don't!'

"I don't want to DIE! Not now, I've left a lot of things undone!"

Slowly his mind showed him images of his friends.

'Sorry guys.'

Cyborg appeared before him in his mind.

'You're in charge now Cy, lead them well…'

Beast Boy came up next .

'Beast Boy, you'll be strong, I know you will…'

Starfire's joyous face came in after.

'Sorry Star… I won't be able to show you more of Earth.'

Darkness began to overtake him as he saw the last Titan, Raven.

'Raven… the only person to fully understand me… I'm sorry, I wish I could say a lot of things to you… like… I love you.'

Robin grew mad one last time, "No, not yet, please! Please?"

He finally rested his head for good.

When The Titans finally arrived they saw him there, on his knees. Two words were written right under his kneeing body. The words 'I'm Sorry'.

"Robin… No!"

"Oh My…"

"Robin…" Raven said as she lowered her head. 'He can't be gone.'

Cyborg walked to him, fearing the worse. He reached for Robin looked at him. He was still breathing, but it was really shallow.

"Cyborg smiled and screamed back, "He's still alive help me get him to the tower."
