Robin's Room
Robin sat unhappily on his bed, head in his hands. Earlier he had been minding his own business, but after a not-welcomed transmission had came, he had became depressed about it. What would he do?
Flashback
Robin typed furiously on his computer. New leads on Slade meant a very obsessed Robin. That's always how he ended up and all the Titans knew not to bother him except for the red-headed alien. She would try anything to grab his attention from the computer or work, but he always declined her offers. Actually, Robin was thinking about her. And of course Slade. He turned his focus back onto the lit up screen in front of him. He sighed slightly and began typing again when all of a sudden his communicator beeped.
" Probably Beastboy and Cyborg joking around." Robin muttered to himself. He groaned inwardly and flipped the top open to find the last person he expected to get a transmission from.
"Slade" He hissed out through his clenched teeth. Oh how he hated that man.
"Well hello to you too, Robin." Slade said sarcastically. He took joy in aggravating Robin and by the look on Robin's face, he was succeeding. Robin growled and said,
"What do you want."
"Well I'd like to inform you I need an apprentice again." Slade said with smirk. He had lost three in the past few years and wanted to try out Robin again.
"Well you can go find someone else cause I'm no ones little apprentice." Robin said. Slade smiled at the comment. He knew what would turn his mind around.
"Well then Robin. I'm sad to hear you're declining my offer. You were indeed my best apprentice. But I do have a proposition for you. I see how you always look at your red-headed alien. Quite a beauty I would say," Robin clenched his fist. No one talked about his Starfire like that.
"But I will tell you this. If you don't comply with my orders, then I will kill off your team even the red-head." Slade concluded with a smirk. He knew he had hit the boy's soft spot. Robin growled and thought it over. Could he really risk his friend's lives? He would do it. He had to do it. He couldn't take it if they had to suffer for something he did. Especially Star.
"Fine, I'll do it. Where do I need to be?" Robin asked grudgingly .
"Tonight at twelve am at the docks. We have so much training to do. It could take years." Slade said and hung up.
End of Flashback
Robin felt tears make their ways to his eyes. He had to be strong, but he couldn't do it. He would have to betray his friends again. He would have to watch the hurt on their face when they found, that was if they found out. He remember it so well. Especially Starfire's. He shook his thoughts away. He needed to start getting stuff together. It was 11:15 PM. While getting ready. He thought about going down and seeing them, but not telling or just writing a not. A note sounded easier to him. He grabbed a pen and stationary from his desk and began to write,
"Dear friends, Beast Boy: Even though your jokes may have not been as funny as you thought and we gave you a hard time, but I want to thank you for trying to cheer us up. You have been like my little brother and I'm glad I met you… sorry for the times I yelled at you. I'll miss you. Cyborg: I remember we had the fight right after we first met, I'm glad we made up. You've always been there for me and gave me someone to look up to. You're like my older borther and I definitely needed it! Thanks for everything Cy! I'll miss you too. Raven: Raven, you have been the sister that I have never had to me. I thank you for all the advice you gave me and giving me great ideas. Thank you again for the long talks that have made me realize my feeling for Starfire. I appreciate it! I'll miss you too. Starfire: Star, you're the hardest for me to leave. I never got the chance to tell you and now I regret that I didn't, but I love you so much! I can't put into words about how I feel for you because I love you that much. I'm sorry for the times I never showed it and I hope you can forgive me for the times I hurt you. I'll never forget you Star. I'll miss you so much! Please don't come looking for me. I don't want to be found till I'm ready. Your Friend,
I have important things that I'm needing to clear up and finish so I am sorry to say that I will be leaving. I have been proud that I have gotten to be your leader and I really appreciate it. You guys have been great and I will miss you. I have decided to leave Starfire as your leader. I'm sure she'll do great.
Robin
Robin folded the note and laid it on his bed along with his communicator. He grabbed his red backpack and opened his window. He looked back and looked at the note and his room. He would really miss here. But he knew it was best for everyone else. He sighed and jumped out of his window and headed toward the docks to start a new life as Slade's apprentice.
With Starfire
Starfire walked down the dark corridor by herself. She had looked high and low for Robin. The roof, the evidence room, and the workout room and the OPS Room held no Robin. The final place he could be was his own room. She finally came to stop. A silver door that was engraved with 'Robin'. She had became used to this door. The many times that it had been closed in her face. She sighed. Those were only the bad memories. Some were good as when he would invite her in and they would have private talks. She smiled at that thought and then knocked.
"Robin, it is I, Starfire. I wish to talk to you." Starfire said. No answer came. She cocked an eyebrow. He would always answer the door even if he wanted to be left alone.
"471390." She mumbled and the door was open. She stepped in and was greeted by a cold breeze. The room was dark with exception of light emitting from the computer screen. She glanced around. No Robin. That was weird. She turned to go out, but caught sight of a small red letter and a yellow communicator. She walked over to it and grabbed it up.
"Maybe he went somewhere." She muttered. She opened the letter and began to read. As she read, her eyes filled with tears. It couldn't be happening. It just couldn't!
"Robin" She whispered. She took the note and ran all the way to the OPS Room. The door slid open to reveal a very upset red-head and the three looked up. They had been entranced with a scary movie, well Raven was as much as she usually did. But the group were wide eyed at they're friend. They had never seen her this upset before. Usually Starfire was the bubbly one of the group and kept everyone at peace. She hated arguing and sadness. But now... she seemed to be one that was sad.
"Star what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked looking at her. She was distressed and needed someone. The group stood up from their seats and approached her.
"Rob-bin is g-g-g-one." She chocked out while crying. The group gasped and Starfire cried harder.
"What!!" Cyborg yelled. Starfire gave him the little red note and Cyborg read the note along with the others peaking over his shoulder. They were all surprised. Where had he gone?
"We must look for him!" Starfire shouted. She walked toward the door, but a robotic arm was around her. She looked back into Cyborg's eyes. Questioning him about his reaction.
"Starfire, he said not to go looking for him. I think for his final request as leader...we should obey it." Cyborg said. He can't believe that he had said it, but He wanted to do it for Rob. He was sure going to miss that guy. Everyone was. Starfire broke down again with fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. Everyone had sad looks, but Starfire took it the hardest. She had loved that boy. She still did. Cyborg pulled her close and let her have his shoulder to cry on. And she did. She great-fully cried on his shoulder. I will always love you Robin... I'll never forget you.
Soon after her tears died down, the remaining Titans found their new leader sound asleep in the robot's arms. Cyborg took her to her room and laid her to sleep. She desperately needed it.
