So, this is my first Teen Titans story... And no, I haven't abandoned Wanted. I just need to get this out of my system. This is sort of a rewrite of Titans Together, Season Five Episode Twelve.It'll probably be a multi-chapter fic, maybe five or so chapters.

Summary: What if Robin hadn't been frozen by the Brotherhood of Evil? Instead, he is captured and brutally interrogated, while the Brotherhood negotiates with a certain one-eyed assassin to hand over the Boy Wonder. The remaining Titans must save their frozen friends, but can they do it on their own? Or will some "contacts"of Robin step in to help? Robin whump. Rob/Star... Rated for violence and possible torture scenes... Don't like, don't read. And no flames, please!

Disclaimer: I...don't own Teen Titans.

Robin: You bet you don't.

Elena: Shut up, Wonder Boy.

Madame Rouge laughed as she approached. "Ze Titans will all fall," she proclaimed. "One by one ve vill pick zem off until none are left. And then, Robin, you vill watch as they are frozen."

"The Titans won't be beaten that easily," Robin insisted. "The Brotherhood of Evil will never win."

The villainess smirked. "Tell zat to your friends. We've been tracking them."

The Titans' leader narrowed his eyes. "How?" He demanded, shocked. His thoughts went instantly to his team- the original Titans. Were they safe? Was Star safe?

Briefly, he felt guilty for not having faith in his friends; however, he was responsible for their safety. But the Titans were hidden, right? The Brotherhood of Evil couldn't get to them if they were nowhere to be found. "The communicators have been secured..."

Madame Rouge shrugged. "Ah, yes. Zat communicator you gave to Hotspot. I remember." Suddenly, she began to change shape, her form shifting to that of a dark-skinned teenage boy. Hotspot.

"The communicator... That was you?"

"Obviously," Madame Rouge replied. "You have played right into our hands, Robin- Ze Titans vill fall."

"It's my fault," Robin breathed, horrified. "I did this."

"And ze first to pay ze price will be your own team," the French shape shifter promised. "But first... a captive audience vill be required." Behind her, a huge figure- Cinderblock- materialized, and with a groan, Robin realized he was trapped. There would be no escaping from this.

Dodging a punch from Madame Rouge, Robin flipped backwards out of reach of Cinderblock's hand. As he sprinted away, he pulled out his communicator.

"Titans!" he called. "The Brotherhood has been tracking our communicators. All of your positions are compromised. I'm triggering their self-destruct sequence now. Good luck, guys."

After a short hesitation, he spoke again. "I'm trapped, probably going to be captured. Don't come after me; you'll be risking yourselves. Starfire..." he paused. "Love you, Star." What the heck; he was probably going to die anyway. "Robin out."

Turning the communicator over, he ripped off the back cover. After yanking out a few wires, with the speed of a professional he short-circuited the device. One by one, he knew the other Titans' communicators would begin to spark and break apart, creating a domino effect.

As he tossed the device aside, he felt a hand grab him from behind. Cinderblock snatched him up in a bear hug, squeezing until Robin was gasping for air. As Madame Rouge looked on, Robin struggled weakly in the giant's grasp, feeling something in his chest crack.

Finally, Rouge lifted a hand. "Release him," she ordered. Unceremoniously, Cinderblock dropped the Titan to the ground.

Robin felt his arms being bound to his sides; he couldn't resist as he was dragged to his feet.

The shape shifter stepped forward. "Goodnight, Boy Wonder."

Then something hit him over the head, and Robin knew no more.

"Oh my god." murmured Cyborg as his communicator short-circuited. "Not Robin. Anyone but Robin."

He had just defeated Mammoth, and was making his way to the Titans' underground bunker in Kole's and Gnarrk's territory. He would be safe there. Hopefully the other Titans would make it there as well...

When he finally reached the familiar forest, he sighed with relief. There was already someone here; his scanners were detecting people within. Quickly entering the pass code, he entered as soon as the door was open.

Silence fell when he entered. Ten of the Titans were already present; Kole, Gnarrk, Beast Boy, Jericho, Mas, Herald, Pantha, Starfire, Bumblebee, and Red Star. They all looked up at him, except for Starfire, who was sitting on the sofa with her knees drawn up to her chest, staring off into space. She was being comforted silently by Jericho, who had an arm around the alien girl's shoulders.

"Um..." Cyborg began. "Hey, guys."

"Hey, Cy," Beast Boy murmured.

"Hello, friend Cyborg," Starfire greeted halfheartedly.

Instantly Cyborg's big brother instinct kicked in. "You two okay?"

"I guess," Beast Boy said, shrugging.

Starfire stood abruptly. "No, Cyborg, I am not okay! Nothing will ever be okay! Those klorbags have taken Robin. He could be injured, or suffering the torture, or...or..." She trailed off and began pacing.

"Star, calm down," Cyborg soothed, coming to stand before her and grabbing her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay. Besides, we don't know that he's been captured."

She stared at him for a long moment, then burst into tears, throwing herself into Cyborg's arms. "I- I am scared," she sobbed.

As he led her to the couch, Cyborg realized more people had arrived. Raven stood just inside the door, holding a baby, with a toddler hanging onto her hand. A blonde-haired little girl stood nearby, holding hands with a huge teddy bear. The sight was so bizarre Cyborg blinked several times before deciding, Hey, we're Titans. None of us are normal.

Raven moved closer to her teammates, and in an uncharacteristic display of affection, put an arm around Starfire's shoulders. "I take it you all know what happened?" she murmured to Cyborg.

"Yeah."

Raven looked over her shoulder at the little girl and bear. "Melvin, Bobby, come here," she called. "This is Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy."

"Hi," said Melvin shyly. "Are you sad, Starfire?"

The Tamaranian girl looked up. "I am okay," she said softly.

As the little girl spoke to Starfire, Raven pulled Cyborg aside. "Have you heard anything else about Robin?"

"His belt's tracking device sent out a signal in France, then the tracker was destroyed," Cyborg replied. "Or at least that's what it looks like. Who do you think he was fighting?"

Raven shrugged. "Not sure. I think Cinderblock might have been one of them, just based on the sounds in the background of the message. I guess at this point, there's no doubt that they took him?"

He sighed, defeated. "No."

"We have to go after him," Raven said determinedly, slamming one fist into the other palm in a gesture Robin often made.

Surprised, Cyborg frowned. "Rae, you heard what he said-"

With an unearthly growl, Raven glared at him with four red eyes as her soul-self expanded behind her, looming over him. "I don't care!" she boomed. "We're going after him!"

Just as quickly, she shrank back into her human form and scowled. "How dare you even think of leaving him with the Brotherhood? Do you realize how much he has done for us, sacrificed for us?! Have you already forgotten what happened with Slade?"

Cyborg lifted a hand. "No, Raven, I haven't forgotten. Every day I regret the things Robin's had to do for us, everything he's sacrificed, every time he saw Slade and we didn't believe him. Don't get me wrong, I hate the thought of leaving him there, but let's face it. He ordered us not to go after him..."

"Cyborg, Robin would order us to do anything for the sake of the mission. He'd never put us in danger, but he'd tell you to kill him if it would help the mission," Beast Boy interjected.

"I never thought I'd say this, but Beast Boy's right," Raven agreed. "We need a plan."

"Patiently, we watched you all, waiting for our moment to strike. You forged your alliance. You trusted without cause and finally, when you thought your world was safe, it fell apart before your very eyes. You are merely pawns in a game and you have played your part perfectly."

Hotspot and Wildebeest stood there, frozen in place. Their expressions were shocked; fearful of their fate. Their bluish skin was unnatural; eerie in the dim light. Beside them were Argent. Menos. Aqualad. Speedy. Bushido. Thunder and Lightning. And a dozen others, all frozen solid.

"There is nowhere you can hide and there is nothing you can do to stop us. Each small victory brings us closer to an even greater prize — the elimination of an entire generation of heroes. And we owe it all to you, Robin."

The bound Boy Wonder stood before the Brotherhood with slumped shoulders.

"Your network has been crushed. Your friends have no way to communicate or follow your commands. Together, you may be formidable, but apart, you are lost, powerless, mine. You will fall, one by one. Who among you can possibly stop me, now?"

My friends. They're not here, right? They can still stop the Brotherhood.

He lifted his head and gazed at the Brain. The sudden straightening of his posture and the smirk that lit up his pale face obviously surprised the villains, and Robin heard a few quiet protests.

"Why are you smiling?" scoffed the voice of Madame Rouge.

"You people have no idea what you're dealing with. You say you've captured my friends- so where are they? You may have captured some of us- but the most powerful of us are still loose. And if I know my team, they won't rest until the Brotherhood is defeated."

Before he had finished speaking a fist met his ribs. Doubling over from the force of Cinderblock's blow, Robin gasped for breath. He hadn't seen that one coming.

"We should freeze him now," Monsieur Mallah declared. "Ze boy is a nuisance."

"No, Monsieur Mallah," Brain replied. "I have a much worse fate planned for the little hero. He has information quite valuable to many of our members... Information that I plan on getting."

"What do you want, Brain?" Robin demanded. "You know about the Titans; what is it you think I'll be able to tell you?"

The Brain laughed; the deep, mechanical sound grating on Robin's nerves. "Your friends may not know about your past, but I do... I know about your mentor, your brothers... I know about your friends among the Justice League. That, Robin, is what I wish to know about."

Instantly Robin shook his head. "Not happening."

"Hmm. We shall see."

"You will never get away with this, Brain," he murmured. "By coming after me, you've come after the one person that has connections at the very top. When this is over you won't just be dealing with my team - you'll be hiding from all of Titans International and the entire Justice League. Getting rid of me will do you no good if every hero in the world and even a few criminals are out for your blood."

"Stranger things have happened, little hero."

Yeahhhhhhh... well. I hope it was good. I'll get to the action next chappie- until then, please review!
