Robin was dead… that much was certain. Not much else was anymore. Starfire swallowed the tears as best she could, staring down at the boy wonder. "He…he is gone…" He seemed so fragile lying there…unlike he had been.
Beast Boy stood beside her, staring as well. "Star…It's my fault."
"NO!" She said, laying a hand on the changeling's shoulder. "You tried to stop it."
Raven clutched her aching shoulder. "This is it…isn't it? The end…"
Cyborg nodded slowly. "It's been good you guys. I knew it would end someday but, not like this."
Starfire knelt down on the hard concrete. "Goodbye Robin…Thank you, so very much. Not even a thousand chorlogs could've been happier than you made us. I love you."
Raven joined her. "Thank you Robin…I…you saved me more than a hundred times, along with the world. I'm proud of you." She rearranged Robin's cape so it wasn't wrapped around him so much.
Cyborg whispered. "Goodbye buddy…you made me see that I'm not just a machine."
Beast Boy could hardly say anything. It seemed like Robin would jump to his feet, laughing, as fine as ever. But he didn't…wouldn't… couldn't.
Tears fell, they poured down Starfire's face silently, and one or two escaped Raven's ever dry eyes. Cyborg lifted Robin's body carefully. "Come on…We need to get this to the authorities, and then we need to get out of here."
They nodded.
"It was a glorious funeral, yes?" Starfire whispered. Hundreds of citizens had shown, and even a few super heroes.
They stood in the Titan's Tower, for the last time. Beast Boy was silently staring around the house. This was it…his home for years and years. Now it was all gone.
"Goodbye Starfire…Cyborg." Raven said. Then she went over to BB. "Goodbye…I'll miss you, and your stupid jokes."
"What is that sarcasm?" Beast Boy teased. But then he hugged Raven. Taller than her now, he could finally call her shrimp, but there was no time for that now. "I'll miss that too."
"You won't forget me…will you?" She whispered. An abandoned lamp burst in a cloud of black aura.
"Never… I love you Rae." He bent down and kissed her. Who cared if she didn't like him back? Who knew when he'd see her again? He just wanted to say goodbye the way he wanted to.
To BB surprise Raven Kissed him back. "Goodbye…I love you too."
Starfire and Cyborg snuck out of the room. "I will miss you as well friend Cyborg." She smiled weakly. "I am to return to my home planet by next morning."
"Bye Star, I'm sorry it ends here."
"And I as well."
A month passed. Then two… soon spring fell into summer…And Summer melted into fall.
October was especially lonely for Raven. Children in Jump City dressed as her and the Team sometimes; she had even seen a small boy dressed as Robin.
It was hard, living in a house all alone, nobody to talk to. "And to think I spent half my time alone." She sighed.
She could almost hear Starfire's voice, snapping her out of meditation, begging to go 'to the mall of shopping' or to 'do the painting of the toenails'.
She hardly ever cried but on October 31st she did. Five children came trick or treating together. The wore the costumes of Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and…Batman. It wasn't the fact that none of them had dressed as her, it was the little boys dressed as Beast Boy and Robin.
The children had painted their faces, so the boy dressed as BB was green faced. He had even worn vampire fangs, trying to imitate the one fang that stuck above BB's lip. That made her cry, but she held it in until they had left with their candies.
And the boy dressed like Robin was wearing a cape… in the wind it had twisted around him like Robin's cape had during the fall… In the end it seemed like the moment would haunt Raven forever.
FLASH BACK!!
Robin seemed to be a broken doll as he fell from the building… arms and legs going off in all directions. His black hair blowing in the wind… His cape flying backwards, the tail to the falling creature.
For a few moments Raven thought he would just pull something out of his belt and stop himself… but instead he just fell to the earth… not even trying to save himself.
"ROBIN!!!" Had been the shrill scream on all sides, Starfire flew to his side.
The world was darkening as Raven stared at Robin's still, dead body… she fainted…falling into the darkness.
END FLASHBACK!!!!
They all wondered, they all wished, but nothing… nothing at all could bring their leader back.
