Don't Take Me to Transitional School….

Chapter 2 "According to You"

A/N: :'D I got a review on the first day I posted! I'm so happy! :D. Anyway. I'm excited. We get awesome sweats for swim team this year instead of those weird swishy pants. I prefer sweats; they're more comfy in my opinion. Scrimmage on Monday and Tuesday though…it's going to be exciting…I get to swim a 50 free and 100 free…I love those events. Anyway…onto the disclaimer…(I wonder how many people actually take the time to listen to my rants for my author notes…)

Chapter 2 "According to You"

"Hey." Robin whispered softly, as to not wake up Starfire nor make anyone who might be roaming the hallways suspicious of any activity going on within the steel room. "We needa talk, it's urgent."

"Sure thing man, by the way," Cyborg started, interrupting the flustered leader, "how are you and Starfire? There was a special on the news about the school you two are at. Supposedly, no investigators are allowed in because the people there are superheroes. You guys are being treated right, I assume?"

Robin sighed. "Not exactly, I need you to get the head warden's name for me and text it to me, do not call me unless I call you, do you understand?" Robin emphasized the word 'text' with great force.

Cyborg blinked from across the city. He really wished he could see Robin's expression at the moment. The famed leader sounded stressed, tired and possibly in pain. "Man, what have they done to you?" he whispered softly, but just loud enough for Robin to hear him.

"Nothing," Robin snapped back in defense. He mentally slapped himself for being so rude and forward with Cyborg. For Christ's sake he was just worried about him. "Sorry," Robin grumbled, "I'm just a little stressed…if you haven't already noticed."

"Well, I have noticed, but get some rest. It's four in the morning and I'm sure you need that beauty sleep that you normally forget about. You and Star be careful, ya hear?"

Robin wished Cyborg understood how appreciated those words were. "Yeah, we will, thanks a lot, and take care of the team…don't let Beast Boy destroy anything except his tofu."

The half-human laughed from the other end. "Will do man. Take care." And without further ado, the phone clicked, signaling that their conversation was over.

The next day arrived too suddenly in Robin's mind. Around 0600 Sir marched unceremoniously into the room, immediately barking orders to the two Titans. "Did you sleep well, little birdie?" The man mocked, laughing as he did so. Robin only gritted his teeth in response. This did not bode well with Sir. He growled dangerously and leaned forward, as if trying to elicit fear into the teen in front of him. "When I ask you a question," he hissed, "I always expect an answer, whether you wish to give one or not."

Robin stayed silent. It wasn't like he and Starfire were actually students here. He didn't need to take orders from him. Sir was getting impatient; picking Robin up by his shirt he thrust him up against the wall. "I'm sorry," he mocked, dangerously; "I don't believe I've received an answer…like I ordered."

"I don't take orders from you." Robin spat in fury.

"Oh, well that's too bad," Sir said, calmly. "I suppose you and your little alien girlfriend here can just go hungry…and work extra shifts…I mean if that's okay with you…not that you have much of a choice."

Robin was speechless. Sooner than either of the Titans could speak, they were outside with all of the other 'misfits' working just as hard as the rest of them…or at least one of the Titans was attempting to. Robin sat defiantly atop a rock, his arms crossed over his chest and his eyebrows furrowed in anger. He looked as if he was about to murder someone…preferably the warden known as Sir. "This is wrong," he growled, pushing himself up. The young hero started to pace back and forth on the top of the rock, pivoting on his heels hard enough to dig holes into the rock that appeared to be granite.

Starfire looked sadly at the infuriated Robin. "Robin, if you just do what the warden asks, perhaps we will be finished with this nightmare soon?" Her attempt to calm Robin down was futile. As a response to Starfire's suggestion, Robin growled dangerously.

"Star," he said, jumping down from the now destroyed piece of granite. "Have you not noticed how disgustingly wrong this is?" His voice jumped a few octaves as Robin unleashed the contents of his mind within a few words.

"I have noticed and…" she paused, glancing around the superhero run quarry. "And, I do not see Terra."

Robin blinked quickly. The flames seemed to disappear from his masked eyes. "You're right," he muttered, glancing around the yard, and then promptly sitting himself on a piece of the granite that he destroyed. "Do you think the people who run this place know that she worked with the Titans?"

The alien girl shrugged. "I do not know, but perhaps it is not her shift?"

Robin gave Starfire a look of disapproval and she smiled sheepishly in return. "Let's take a look within the school, all right?"

Starfire nodded and held out a hand for Robin, which he gratefully accepted. Heaving him upwards with just a tad too much force, Robin stumbled into one of the heroes working the mines. "Uh, sorry," Starfire giggled.

Robin glanced up at the person whom he ran into. "Aqualad?" he questioned, staring at the significantly taller person. "What're you doing here?!" Robin exclaimed, backing up and straightening his muscular figure so he appeared slightly taller.

The Titan's East member looked tired. "We were…separated, Robin." He whispered. Aqualad's hands started to shake, and he let his head fall into them. "All of them…I…I couldn't do anything…and they were taken away."

"Taken away to where?" Robin questioned, placing his hand on Aqualad's shoulder, convincing the other Titan to sit. He crossed his arms and glanced patiently and the disoriented teenager.

"I don't know," Aqualad mumbled, sounding completely defeated. "Though do you guys know that Terra is here?" Robin nodded and Aqualad continued. "She was brought here before me, I know that. When I was talking to her, they seemed to have recovered the memories that you all said she lost."

"So, she knows she's a Titan?" Robin asked and Aqualad nodded. "Right, Aqualad, come with us, we're going to get outta here and not just us…" he motioned to everyone working in the mines. A smirk pushed its way to Robin's ever taught lips. "We'll thwart whatever the hell they're trying to accomplish here."

Aqualad noticed. A little bit of life seemed to reappear within his eyes. "Then let's get to it."

**TT**

Robin had only seen the cell that he and Starfire were thrown into. Outside that tiny cell, the school was much larger and on a much creepier scale. The walls, which seemed fairly normal, were decorated ceiling to floor in dead or defeated superheroes' items. One certain item seemed to catch Robin's attention. It was one of Batman's bat-shaped shuriken. "Oh God…" he whispered. The trio pushed forward, despite Robin's complete uneasiness. The shaken Titan kept mentally reminding himself of his and Starfire's mission, in an attempt to shake off some of his worry.

Starfire flew ahead of the other two, her eyes glancing upon every single wall. "This place gives me…the creeps?" She questioned her use of the saying. Robin nodded at her and Starfire trekked forward, Aqualad and Robin not too far behind her.

Eventually, they came to a fork in the hallways. "Which way do we go?" Starfire questioned spinning in circles, attempting to choose which hallway to go down.

"We split up." Robin answered in a monotone. He was nursing his injured arm quietly and as secretly as physically possible. Starfire flew down, and landed next to Robin. "What is it?" he grumbled, still working on his arm.

Silently, Starfire snatched Robin's left arm and stretched it, earning a yelp of agony from Robin. "You can not work on your own," Starfire conclude, dropping Robin's arm back to his side. "I believe that I should go with you during your journey through whichever hallway you decide to take."

Robin stared at Starfire, his eyes wide. "Eh…" he started, every word that he was about to say lost by the pain inflicted upon his already injured left arm. "Sure?" Robin finished, almost at a loss for words. But apparently the answer he gave satisfied Starfire because she nodded in approval.

Aqualad turned from the other two. "I'll meet up with you guys…let's hope that we find our communicators." Robin nodded and Aqualad saluted the other two Titans. "Best of luck to you both…and I hope to see you soon." Aqualad smiled and ran down the corridor he had chosen to explore disappearing from sight soon enough.

Robin sighed and went back to nursing his left arm. "All right, let's go shall we?"

Starfire nodded. "Yes, and let us complete the kicking of the butt!" She smiled and lifted herself back into the air, allowing a starbolt to form in her hand. "It seems pretty dark…" she held her hand out in front of them adding more light to the hallway.

"Well, thanks to you we can see better," Robin said , stalking down the hallway.

**TT**

"I can't track Robin or Star…" Cyborg complained throwing his communicator against the wall, causing it to shatter into little pieces.

Raven and Beast Boy stared silently at the enraged Cyborg. He was throwing cuss words out and destroying various objects. Sighing, Raven turned around on the couch and went back to reading her ancient text. "You destroying things isn't going to make finding them any easier." Raven grumbled in annoyance."

Cyborg paused. Currently, he possessed Beast Boy in his hand. "I know that!" He snapped, thrusting the changeling that was still in his death grip against the wall. "It's just aggravating. Robin said not to call him and I've been texting him because he doesn't have his communicator and he's not answering and I'm worried dammit!" Cyborg roared in frustration.

"Cy…" Beast Boy moaned, rubbing his head. "I'm not a dart…"

Cyborg glared at Beast Boy, but initially he ignored him. "So," he grumbled, "what do you propose we do, Raven?" Cyborg dragged out Raven's name.

Raven sighed and relaxed, thoroughly enjoying her book. "We let them be. If they need help, they'd do anything in their power to attempt to contact us."

Cyborg bit his lip harshly. "What if they can't contact us?" he growled, attempting to keep calm. It failed though. "What if something happened to them Raven?"

Raven glanced up, shutting her book. "You want to go find them, don't you?" She asked, setting the ancient text on the coffee table. Cyborg nodded, as did Beast Boy. Raven sighed, glancing down at the book. "I can never finish a chapter in a day, can I? All right, I'll go with you."

Beast Boy grinned. "Sweet! We get to see that…creepy…school…" his enthusiasm was cut short as the changeling thought through just where Robin and Starfire were. "You know," he started, following after Raven and Cyborg as they headed to the garage where the T-Car was kept, "maybe they are fine? Maybe we don't need to go?"

Raven and Cyborg abruptly stopped in their tracks, causing Beast Boy to crash into the two taller Titans. "No," they hissed in unison. Beast Boy held his hands up in defense and sighed as he followed after the two other Titans towards the T-Car. Why did it seem that he always got himself into these messes?
