Here's the second chapter. I'm gonna thanks Rob's Girl for an awesome review!!
I told you it only takes one good review. I tried my best to make this chapter interesting, and if I leave some parts out or don't get too descriptive it's because I think you guys should use some of your imagination to make this story better…

Chapter 2
Robins POV
"Fine, and I'll ask the guys and see what they think. But I'm not giving any definite; I want to make sure we can trust you. And I plan on asking Batman about you and this Breeze character." We could hear commotion downstairs "Sounds like everyone else is back, come one, I'll introduce you to everyone."
"Great"
I walked through the doors and signaled Eclipse to follow me down the hall. She flicked on her hood/cape and glided over to me. She gave me a wide smile, she didn't show teeth but the smile was just as bright as if she had. I shot her a questioning look.
"What? First impressions are very important" She defended. I frowned and turned away, I couldn't imagine her working with Batman.
I continued to walk down the hall. I wasn't looking forward to this. I don't want the rest of the team to get hurt again. I knew it was wrong to judge Eclipse because of what people in the past did, but I was worried. Her file seemed clean and she did work with Batman and Breeze, who I found out, was as bright as the sun and the happiest person alive. Besides, she's been on a team before.
"HEY!" Eclipse yelled from behind me.
I stopped right before running into the door to the main room. I pressed the button that opened the door. Beast boy was playing Cyborg on the game system and Starfire was
attempting to cook once again. I looked around for Raven and saw her leaning against the wall eyeing Eclipse who seemed to be glaring back at her.
Beast boy took a quick glance over his shoulder "Hey Robin, we missed you earlier. Where were you?"
I rose an eyebrow "Ummm, this is Eclipse. She use to live in Gotham and Premith."
Everyone stopped what they were doing (except for Raven who wasn't really doing anything to begin with) and turned around. Cyborgs face was confused and Beast boy's jaw was in his lap. Starfire had the biggest smile on her face as she flew over and shook Eclipse's hand with such enthusiasm that she had to readjust her mask and belts.
"Welcome to our tower. It is so nice to meet you. Are you one of Robin's old friends?" Eclipse took some time to recover and rub her hand from Starfires grip.
"Sort of, well not exactly." Her eyes were wide and she steadied herself. Cyborg pushed Starfire out of the way and leaned an arm on the wall.
"'Sup? I'm Cyborg, I happen to know a thing or two about technology." He smiled. Eclipse gave a half smirk obviously flattered.
Beast boy flew around Cyborg and changed from a hummingbird to a boy. "Hey, I'm Beast boy. I can change into any animal" He grinned.
"Any animal?" Eclipse returned with a flirty grin of her own. Beast boy beamed.
I pulled her away and dragged her to Raven. She stood up straight and put her arms down to her side. Eclipse's smiled seemed to crash to the floor, but she quickly fixed her mouth in what, if you looked closely, was in a very small almost sarcastic smile.
"Hello, I'm sorry I never got your name. Thank you so much for taking care of me. I would like to give you a gift of gratitude." Eclipse's voice sounded odd, but I don't think it was bad at all.
"You don't have to do that, I'm obligated to help. And my name is Raven."
"No, I insist, please" Eclipse urged, I heard Raven sigh.
"Fine" Eclipse nodded and walked away and through the doors quickly. She seemed to dance by everything. Cyborg and Beast boy were arguing over something (no doubt Eclipse) and Starfire had resumed to her cooking.
"What does she want?" Raven always seemed to know everything.
I sighed "She wants to join the titans" Raven started to glare "I think we should give her a chance. It's not really fair to judge her on what other people have done. Come on, she worked with Batman, the Breeze and she use to be on a team. I'm willing to give her a chance."
"Did you look into why she stopped working on her team in Premith? What made her quit there just to join another team? I think we should look a little more into her. I have no problem with her staying here though as long as you keep a watch on her." I thought about what she said. She was right; I guess I could ask her later. I am definitely not asking Batman.
Eclipse walked in the room holding a small black silk pouch. She pulled it open and brought out a little leather scroll. She unrolled it and showed Raven the five needles inside. Each one had a small band of color around the middle.
"These are combat needles. Each color stands for something different. The blue one can make an elephant pass out. The green one can heal almost any disease known to man. The yellow one is a disease that completely paralyzes someone and can make them tell all their deepest secrets, the purple one is its antidote." She looked up at me then back to Raven, her face went grim. "The red one you have to be careful with, it's deadly. It takes one hour to take effect. I don't recommend using it but its there." Eclipse rolled the scroll back up and slipped a band around it and slid it back in the pouch.
Raven muttered a 'thanks' and shot a look at me before gliding over to the giant window overlooking the city. Beast boy and Cyborg ran back over to me and Eclipse. They looked from me to her.
"So, how exactly did you find her again?" Beast boy leaned in and asked.
"Patrol, last night. It was dark and there were thugs. That's all you're getting." I lifted my eyebrow.
Eclipses POV
"Patrol, last night. It was dark and there were thugs. That's all you're getting." Robin answered Beast boys question without room for anything else. I could see where Batman had gotten to him.
"Uh, ya! How old are you? How long did you stay in Gotham? Is Premith as bad as everyone says? Did you work alone? And what are you doing tonight?" I thought for a second about all the questions.
"Let's see…I'm 15, I stayed in Gotham for about four months. Yes, Premith is pretty bad…but most of the crimes are small scale. I worked with breeze for a year and a half and then worked with a team of my own there." I looked up at him and smirked. "And as for tonight, stuff."
"Come on you guys, leave her alone. Come on Eclipse, I'll show you to your room and give you a small tour." Robin rescued me from the continuous waterfall of questions. He quickly walked to the door and I ran and caught up with him.
"This side of the tower is the girls' side; the spare rooms are going through some repairs from some severe damage though. There are plenty of rooms on the guys side." He took a sharp right and walked by slower. "This is Cyborgs room, this one is Beast boy, this one is mine," He walked a little farther then stopped. "This one is yours. I already moved your bags here."
"Ooh, next to your room. I feel awfully special." I joked, apparently Robin's wasn't the humorous type. He pressed a button and the door slid open. He walked in and I followed.
"That's your bathroom" Robin pointed at the corner of the room. "There is a window over there, if you press the blue button the window is completely covered with a metal shield. Press the red one and it opens. Over there on the wall covered by a glass case is the emergency button. You're free to decorate your room however you want."
"Um thanks." The room was completely grey. There was a door that leads to a closet and one that lead to the bathroom. There was a big bed with black sheets on it. I walked over to the window and signaled my bike. I pressed the bright red button and the glass opened up. My bike hovered and slowly cruised into the room. It parked in the empty corner of the room.
"We have a garage to keep your bike in you know." Robin looked a little confused.
"My bike is my second computer. I'd rather have it in here. These have more personal files on it." I winked at Robin and headed toward the door. "Where to next, my feathered friend?"
"I'll show you to the gym. Everywhere else you'll find as you need them." He walked quickly down the hall. The elevator was a lot quicker then your normal hotel kind.
He walked out and into a gym. It was huge, complete with obstacle courses and weights. There were punching bags and weapons of all types.
"Nice, I like it"
"Ya, so how much can you lift?"
"I don't know, depends on how much the person I'm flipping weighs. Weight lifting isn't my thing" He smiled a little. He looked good when he smiled.
"So, I'm guessing you're a pretty weak little girl." Robin poked my chest and I smirked. I quickly grabbed his arm and flipped his body over and he landed on the ground on his back. I pinned his arms to the ground.
"So I'm guessing at least 170 pounds" I joked. He rolled over and pinned me to the ground.
"You still need some work though." Robin smiled in my face.
"You know you're kind of cute when you smile. You should try it more often." Robin's smile shrunk a little but then got bigger.
I used this as a distraction and flipped him over me with my legs. I stood up and walked toward the elevator.
Robins POV
Eclipse flipped me over her and pulled herself up. She started walking toward the elevator. I thought about her last comment. It only made me smile a little more. I watched Eclipse walk. I didn't really notice her figure before. She had a perfect hourglass shape; I couldn't stop myself from watching her. Her uniform hugged her body perfectly and her hair flowed and bounced when she walked.
"You coming feathers?" Her voice shook me from my trance.
"It's Robin, moony" I shot back .
"Moony, nice; but may I suggest leaving the nicknames to me?" Eclipse turned around and had her face inches from mine. I could smell cinnamon and jasmines. She backed up and turned around.
Oo (Later that night, imagine about midnight)
Eclipse POV
After my tour from Robin I returned back to my room. I unpacked my sack and duffel bag. As I put my costumes and uniforms away in the closet I couldn't help but think about Robin in the gym. Of course I've used my charms before to get what I want, or just to mess with cute guys' head. Robin was different though, I loved his mystery, and his danger. And it was no lie; he had a very cute smirk.
I looked at my bedside table. I had three communicators, one from Premith and the other two for emergencies. I closed the closet and stuffed my duffel bag under the bed. I started to hang up my swords and staffs on the wall when I heard static. I dropped the sack and balanced all my crescent shaped blades in one arm. I walked over to the side table; my smallest black communicator started blinking. I sat down on the bed and waited for the noise again.
"I know where you are Eclipse. You couldn't run from me. You really should think before you act. You never know what could happen should you irritate me"
That voice. I couldn't believe he found me.
"What do you want?" Panic was setting in.
"Go to the roof, now. And don't waste time." I dropped my weapons and they clattered loudly on the floor. I hoped no one else heard the noise.
I quickly clicked on my belts and pulled my hood over my face. I opened the door and peered out. After checking that the coast was clear I ran to the steps leading to the roof. I quickly climbed up ladder and open the metal door. I slipped outside and walked to the middle of the roof. I looked around me.
"I'm here" I whispered "I'm here"
"So am I"
My body tensed.
Oo
Robins POV
I checked the monitors in my room. Everyone was in there room and by the sound of it everyone was asleep. I shut off the monitors of all the hallways and the main rooms.
I heard the closing and opening of doors and drawers next door but it had been pretty quiet in the last twenty minutes. I picked up some of my uniforms and shoved them in a basket in the corner. I started to pick up some loose papers when I heard a loud noise next
door. I set the papers down and walked out my door. I stepped out in the hallway and heard the faint creaking of the metal door leading to the roof close.
I climbed up the ladder and as quietly as I could I opened the little door. I peeked out and saw Eclipse standing in the middle looking around herself.
"So am I"
I recognized that voice. Slade.
My heart started to sink. Was I being betrayed again? Eclipse had only been here two days. It isn't best to jump to conclusions so I stayed low and listened. Maybe I could find something out.
"What do you want Slade?" Eclipse sounded angry, her words dripped with venom.
"You sound angry my dear girl. You know all I have ever wanted was an apprentice" His voice was as fake as his monopoly money.
Eclipse pulled out a bow staff and held it out in front of her "I'm not in the mood. Go away or I'll-"
Slade walked slowly toward Eclipse, who was shaking. I was starting to fear for her, I knew full well the extent of Slade's strength. I gripped the frame of the door and my knuckles turned white. I was steaming.
"You will what Eclipse?" He gripped her bow staff. Slade ripped it out of her hands and she fell to her hands and knees. "This isn't as fun as it use to be. I liked it so much better when you fought me. When you through punch after useless punch; dodging every kick only to be met with another attack."
"Die" I heard Eclipse spit. I felt my lips form a half smirk, any defiance against Slade me smile.
Slade bent down and whispered "Why don't you fight anymore?"
Eclipse muttered something I couldn't understand. Slade leaned even closer and grabbed the front of her shirt and lifted her in the air. I had to use all my self control to keep from jumping out right then.
"Remember what I taught you; think back to all your training." He glared at her "Now, why don't you fight me anymore?"
"Because" I saw a tear splash on the ground "I can't win"
"Very disappointing." Slade shook his head. "Do you remember our deal, you do what I say and your friends don't get brought into this."
"Yes, of course I remember. I refuse to follow your terms. I'll do anything else, I swear I will, just please don't drag my friends into this."
"I only want what I've asked. Deal with the Titans and the Bat or I will take a little trip to Premith" Slade tightened his grip and pulled her face closer.
"No" Eclipse growled.
Slade threw her across the rooftop and twirled her bow staff in his hand. I jumped out and punched him back a few feet.
"Well my little angel, looks as if our meeting has been interrupted"
Slade turned to jumped from the building. I quickly threw out a small GPS device which caught onto his back. Slade jumped landing on the boat waiting for him at the bottom of the tower. I heard the roar of the engine as he took off. Eclipse ran to the edge of the tower and looked back. She reached into on of her belt.
"I'm sorry Robin, this is my battle." She threw out little blades shaped like crescent and full moons.
Before I could moved I was pinned to the ground. Eclipse looked away and flung a needle at me, it landed in my leg. I saw Eclipse signal her cycle and jump. Then all I saw was black.
Oo (next morning)
Robins POV
"Robin, man, are you okay? Guys, come over here, he's waking up!" My head was pounding.
"Cyborg? What's going on?" I tried to open my eyes but it took awhile for my eyes to adjust. I got use to the brightness of the infirmary and sat up.
"We found you asleep on the roof of the tower. Robin, friend, are you feeling well?" Starfires bright eyes were staring straight at me.
"Ya, I am fine. What happened?" I was a little confused.
"You were pinned to the ground by these" Beast boy raised up Eclipses blades "And we found her tied up right next to you" He pointed at the bed next to me where Eclipse sat up.
The bandage on her wrist was torn up and her uniform was pretty messed up. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and there were bruises all over her face. I twisted my body so my legs hung of the edge of the bed and I was facing her. Eclipses face looked emotionless. I remembered the conversation between her and Slade.
"We found this note on her" Beast boy handed me a little piece of paper.
Nice try Robin. Here's a gift for you, I was going to keep her but I decided she was more valuable to you. You really should look into your new friends. Can never be too careful.
Slade
I was angry, I was fuming. Attached to the paper was the GPS I had thrown at him last night. I crumpled the note and looked at Eclipse.
"Why did you leave your team?" I growled through gritted teeth. Everyone in the room looked at us. "And what did Slade want you for last night?"
Chapter 3: What's The Real Danger
There it is, chapter 2…I hope you like it.
I try my best. Please review my story, I really am trying and getting better at writing. Also if I get some good enough reviews I might ask for some advice as to where this could go.
The Romance, the deceit, the anger, and the mystery….where will it all collide?
