Chapter 3

Apollo sat by her bed angry at himself. Why had he pushed her to go on the ride. It was all his falut and he knew it. Or at least he thought it was. The burns on her arms looked very bad but his mother had not been able to heal them for some reason. Looking at the S pattern on her arm his temper rised. He had begged Robin to tell him what it ment since Robin had seemed to know the most about it. Robin had said it was a warning. That he wanted Lilac... dead. Another tear trailed down his face and he wiped it away angrily. He looked her over again wishing she would wake up. He heard the door open behind him and Robin walked in. Apollo didn't turn around but just sat there staring off into space. Untill he felt Robin's hand touch his shoulder then he stood up and turned around. Robin looked down at him smileing kindly, then frowned when he looked at Lilac.

" You know it wasen't your fault, Apollo." Robin said finally looking back at Apollo.

Finally Apollo let his anger out. " Yes it was! Don't you get it! If I haden't made her go in there then she woulden't have been attacked! It is my fault... all my fault! Why don't you understand?!!?" He screamed out hiting Robin in the stomach feircly. Robin wasen't fazed by it and stood there understandingly letting Apollo beat his fists against him knowing what it was like to feel like something was all your fault. Finally the beating turned into silent trails of tears running down the childs face as he hugged against him. Now Robin was somewhat embarresed. He had never been good at bonding with kids... this was really a job for Beast Boy or Cyborg. He'd just have to give it a shot.

"Apollo, " Robin started crouching down to have eye level with the crying boy. " YOu could not have done anything to stop it. Slade would have done this anywhere he could, day or night. It wasen't your fault... ok?" he finished looking directly at the boy.

Apollo only nodded his head. He understood but it would be tough to admit it. Robin smiled at him and heard Starfire yelling for him. She wanted his help with cooking. Robin decided to make Apollo smile right before he left.

" Hey, you better perk up or I'll make you come try Starfire's pudding with me." Robin said as he slipped out the door and smiled himself as he heard the boy laughing. He continued down the hallway and found Starfire in the kitchen already cooking. At the sight of him, Starfire flew over and kissed him on the cheek.

" I am so joyfull that you have decided to be the tester of the taste of my pudding!" She said happily turning a circle in the air.
Robin caught her arm and pulled her down bringing her directly into a deep kiss. Starfire seemed to forget complete about the pudding when he did and that was just what Robin was hoping would happen. Wrapping her arms around his neck she thought to her self... I know his trick... he will still try my pudding. When he pulled away from her, she was dreamy eyed and smileing. Robin put his forehead against hers and smiled. The door behind him opened and Beast Boy and Raven came in.

" Look at the two love birds." Beast Boy said laughing but Robin and Starfire did not jump away from each other and blush as they used to do.

" Hey i remember a certain couple doing just this a lot, and they still do." Robin shot back laughing when Raven turned red.

Raven and Starfire went over to try to make the pudding mroe appatizing and Beast Boy and Robin talked in whipsered voices. They were planning something but what. As they were all having fun doing other stuff Apollo was staring hopefully at Lilac. Her eyes had fluttered and were now opening.

As her eyes fluttered open she immediatly saw Apollo smileing down at her. She tried to lift her arms but a burning feeling ripped through them and she yelled out in pain. Apollo's smile vanished and he was about to yell for the other titans when they all came running in. Raven, Beast Boy, and Aris first followed by Starfire and Robin and finally Cyborg who had taken longer because he had been in the garage. Raven went immediatly over to her and put a cool towel on the burns. Aris looked at Lilac and realized that she was not crying because of the pain. Aris remembered Lilac tellign her about her parents. Aris was the one of the few to know ( Robin had been told when Lilac arrived at the tower and Apollo also knew but didn't remember at the time)and she knew that Lilac's parents had died in a fire when Lilac was only 4 but she had remembered some things and Lilac had remembered them beeing burnt. She was crying out of fear because Lilac was scared of anything that had to do with fire.

The medical room was packed to it's fullest and soon Starfire and Cyborg left so there would be more room. Apollo stood by Lilac's bed and Raven and Robin were talking about what they could do. Aris was talking to Lilac about what they would do when she got out of bed. Robin pulled out a file and showed it Raven. It showed pictures of Lilac's parents. Before they had died in the fire they had been terrorized by somebody. It had been 2 years before Lilac was born but her parents had been attacked in the same way Lilac had. The S's cut into their arms. They knew it was Slade and he seemed to be doing this in a six year pattern. They would have to be on the look-out from now on. As robin looked around the room he saw Lilac and Aris giggling and smileing and Apollo even grinned a little. He prayed ever thing would be ok. This little girl had been through enough.
