I didn't even wait to start the third chapter. I'm sorry if you guys don't think this story is that good, but even I want to know what's going to happen next… One reason for t he quality of my stories is probably that I usually get a good notion and create as I go… And like I have mentioned before if you have a good idea for what could happen message me!! I am completely open to any plots you guys can scheme.

I kinda molded some of the batman comics storyline to fit my needs…..

I own nothing, blah blah blah

Chapter 3: What's the real danger?

Robins POV

"What did Slade want you for last night?" I growled to Eclipse who grabbed her belt. I was afraid she was going for a weapon so I jumped up and grabbed her shirt. "TELL ME"

"Robin, put her down man" Cyborg had came behind me and was tugging at my shoulder a little. I gripped tighter, I heard Starfire gasp behind me.

"He told me" Eclipse sighed "Kill Robin the way he instructed or my friends will soon become apart of my predicament. Kill Robin" She repeated.

I let out a low growl.

"I'm not lying, you have to believe me. I did that to you last night because you couldn't get involved." Eclipse pleaded

I was enraged, she was another traitor. In the three days she's been here she has probably bugged everything and hacked into all the computers and wired the security already. I couldn't hear myself think straight. I threw her up in the air and flung my weighted net at her. She was tied up, her boomerang still in hand.

"Robin!" Starfire called out in surprise; I didn't care who was in the room, I didn't care what they saw because Slade needed to be stopped.

I watched as Eclipse slowly stood up and stared at me. I couldn't read the expression. It was like a mix of self containment, anger, confusion…but deep down she looked a little hurt. My heart softened a little at the look, but my anger did not dissipate.

"Hey, listen to me!" Eclipse spoke up "I didn't say I would do it! I told him I couldn't, and I wouldn't and to forget it. He told me it was my fear that pathetic teammates would judge me that makes me so easy to control. Slade even said that the Titans wouldn't care what I did, and that he would keep Batman off my tail" She was glaring at the ground.

"What do you mean we wouldn't care? He asked you to kill our leader!" Beast boy shouted confused. I know what he means; I stared at Eclipse looking for an answer.

Eclipse's POV

"What do you mean we wouldn't care? He asked you to kill our leader!" Beast boy shouted confused. They didn't understand, this was going to be hard to explain.

I laughed "Not birdie over there" I said pointing my head in Robin's direction. "He wants me to get rid of the real Robin; Batman's new sidekick. Don't look so surprised, the Bat got over you and eventually his last little charity case."

"Explain yourself" Robin ordered walking closer to me.

"After you-know- who died, it sent Him over the edge. Robin was gone, he was alone. Then, well, someone else stepped in and took over your old position. Honestly it needed to be done; things were getting out of hand. Slade wants me to recreate what happen to you-know-who using me, first death and the he wanted me to step in and betray him. I refused." I tried to explain.

"Slow down. I do not understand Robins name is you-know-who?" Starfires confusion made me laugh inside.

"No, it's not. She's talking about the person who replaced me in Gotham after I left. His name was-"

"Tell them and everyone will know your name" I sawed at the binds holding me, Robin was messy in tying me up. You never tell anyone another persons secret identity.

"I don't see how that's fair. And he's dead, it doesn't matter anymore" Robin was trying to bargain.

"Life's not fair. And dead or alive he was still Robin" I spat my words at him.

"He wasn't Robin, he was just Jason" Robin sounded a little jealous or angry…or maybe it was a mix of both of the emotions. I broke through the binds and gripped hard on my boomerang.

"He was more then just Jason, and with your pathetic fighting styles and poor skills you will never be anything more then just Dick the circus boy. You wish you could amount to him, he was held back by fear of death and knew what had to be done." I sounded out each word, he wouldn't understand about Jason.

I heard gasps and Beast boy whisper 'harsh'.

Robin looked hurt at first, but then his eyes widened for a second. Robin looked me in the eyes, I think something hit him. I think this time he really remembered me. Robin stared at my hand. I felt stinging and cold blood run through my fingers and drip on the floor. He walked forward and picked my arm up, and took the blade from my hand.

"Eclipse, why did you leave your team?" Robin's eyes bore into mine; he leaned in by my ear and whispered "Please Anne (a/n name look familiar? It should, I will use this name over and over again though…)"

The sound of my made my heart skip a beat. I swallowed and took a breath.

"They didn't agree with the way I did things. I quit leading them and followed whatever orders our leader gave me. When I disagreed with some of the changes made I left." I looked at everyone's expressions to make sure they were following along. "And there were other things; I did some things I am not proud of. I atoned for my sins and all the wrongs I've done but when I returned I couldn't look them in the face. Slade found me, he offered me a deal; if I do what he said the right people would be silence. Of course I refused, but he's persistent. Now he's bringing my friends into this. I thought I lost him but he found me again. I talked to some people and they told me the best place I could go was Jump City. They told me to find the Titans; they were the best team around. And I knew Robin so I figured I could try." I looked at Robin "I'm not working for Slade; I don't want anything to do with him. When he referred to training last night on the roof he was talking about when he hounded me for six months. It was kind of like training but he thinks it brought me one step closer to becoming his apprentice."

I felt tears choke me, I couldn't cry. The pain in my chest was swelling and I felt my heart melt. I missed my friends dearly, I missed Jason; I missed so much. I haven't seen my friends or my old home in almost two years. I felt my face tighten and I realized that in my attempt to choke back the tears trying work their way to my eyes I had held my breath. My lungs took in cold air and I started coughing wildly.

Not this again.

I tried to catch my breath but I kept coughing. I felt like I was breathing in ice cold dry air. My lungs tightened in my chest and my heart beat wildly. I took one deep breath and made an attempt to calm down. My vision blurred and I fell down on the ground. I wiped my face with my hand and screamed when I saw the blood. I felt foolish when I remembered I had cut my hand.

"She's having a panic attack, somebody get her on a bed." Ravens voice ran through my head. I saw a green blur come at me and I freaked out. I turned to my side for a way to escape but found a tall stick like figure come toward me, I flailed my arms out and yelled at it to get away. I couldn't think straight or identify anyone.



My mind was racing and I felt exhausted. I covered my head with my hands and just wish for it to be over. I looked up and saw Robin advance toward me. My breathing became a little more regular and my pulse slowed down. I felt soft against my back and my head cleared. I haven't had a break down like that in forever. Slowly my world melted back to normal.

I heard the crackle of static. I looked around the room at everyone. Cyborg looked ready to help in case something else happen. Beast boy looked absolutely confused and Starfire looked absolutely terrified. Raven wasn't even in the room anymore and Robin was collecting a bandage for my hand. I looked down at my arm where my spare communicator was. A faint light was blinking red.

Cautiously I pressed the button and asked a stern hello.

"Hello Eclipse"

I saw everyone tense up.

"Slade; what do you want?" I yelled into the communicator.

"I was just watching the screens that keeps watch over your heart rate and pulse and noticed a spike. Tell me, do you remember the leader of your team back in Premith?"

I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't recall. I stared into Robins face but he didn't give me any help. Their name sat at the tip of my tongue but I couldn't think of it. I knew it was a boy, a little taller then me with sparkling gold eyes.

"I didn't think so. Do you remember your other friends' names? Can you even recall the name of your team?"

I couldn't. "What did you do?"

I heard Slade's laugh ring through the speaker, then he was quite. "Why don't you fight me anymore?"

My body burned with rage. I hated him for doing this to me. The humiliation, I don't know why but when he asked that question I feel like it's my job to answer; that I have to answer.

"Because" My heart beat faster "I can't beat you" I felt my face burn in humiliation.

Slade laughed again. "Smart, much smarter then Robin was. By the way, the suit you are wearing is rigged. This is going to be fun." I pressed the button and was about to yell when I felt electric shock burn through my left arm. I ripped off the communicator and most of my sleeve.



"I have to go, I'm sorry" I got up and started walking to the door.

"Wait, at least let us wrap up your hand first" Robin said offering the bandages to me.

"No, no, I have to make a call. I'm sorry." I ran toward my room. I felt horrible running away from the people trying to help me but I have to make sure everyone was safe. I don't want to hurt these people, I want them to accept me and I want to join them.

I rushed into my room. I ran to my side table where my communicators were. There was one from my old team; I couldn't use that one ever. I clipped it to my belt and looked at my options. There was the one Slade was able to reach me by, my emergency one. I have to destroy it later. I picked up the black one with my emblem on it, I pressed the button and called into it.

"Fyre? It's Eclipse"

The static sounded "Eclipse? What's the matter? You never call me, and where are you? I haven't seen you around anywhere"

I felt relieved at the sound of my old friends' voice. I kept this line hidden because Fyre was a huge villain but she was still one of my closest friends. She was a lot older then me but she helped through a lot. She accepted my cause as I did hers, she use to take care of me when I decided on training myself a long time ago.

"Titans tower in Jump city, I didn't tell anyone though. I had a panic attack I think. Something's happening to me. I can't remember my team in Premith. I can't let Batman know I am having panic attacks again he would take me out of action." I was scared, last time I had panic attacks was after Jason died. Batman said I couldn't handle fighting that I could do something drastic that I would regret. I did and he was right.

"The Batman" She huffed "Always thinks he knows when someone is stable enough or not to fight. What caused the attack.?"

"I am not quite sure. I was thinking about Premith and then I thought about what I was missing and who I was missing." I was glad Fyre could help me; I was worried I couldn't remember my dear friends. Somewhere deep down inside my heart I felt like I was betraying my old team. But I couldn't face them again, they will soon know what I did, the people I have wronged and hurt. "But it went away when I saw Robin, I mean Richard. I feel so connected to him, like we've been best friends all my life."

"I'll look into it okay. And you and Robin were friends, uncertain terms or not. Maybe it was thinking of Jason that did it, you were so use to the Robin uniform that you trust whoever is behind the mask."

"Ya, 'cause you know that's not a weakness." I gave a nervous laugh; I smiled slightly when I heard her laugh as well.

"I have to go, there is some new technology coming into Gotham just waiting to be stolen. Beware handsome boys in brightly colored uniforms." Fyre joked as static sounded again.

"Okay, stay away from crime fighters in cowls and capes." I thought then shot back "And I really hate when you call them 'uniforms', they are just costumes." I hung up and sighed.

I felt better; of course I always did after a talk to my best friend. I heard the static again, I looked over to see if someone was calling in but the light stayed off. I quickly changed into a new costume that wasn't so torn up. The communicator in my glove in my glove must have had a tracking device in it. I took off my boots and slipped on slipper styled shoes. I could move a lot faster in these, I know it's weird to have shoes for attacking and some for agility. I was so tired; in case anything happened I couldn't fight…defense was the only option I had.

I heard a knock. I didn't want to answer it, I wanted to be left alone. Of course I had been taught better, Robin and his friends are giving me a chance to join them. I reluctantly opened the door and looked up to meet eyes with Raven.

"Can I come in?" She asked, her face showed no emotion.

"Yes. This is yours and your teams' tower after all." I didn't feel comfortable alone with Raven; she gave me a cold feeing.

"I need to ask you some questions. I want true answers, no lies." She stepped past me and looked at my room. "I will know if you are lying."

"Okay, but promise me that if I answer you truthfully will you give me an answer truthfully in return." I had a question that I wanted, needed, answered.

She nodded and blinked. "Go ahead then, ask me." I told her, I kept my face completely emotionless; just as I was trained. I knew from her bio on the Batcave computer she was a person who could get inside your mind and read you from just the expression on your face.

"Do you know anything about Slade or his whereabouts?" She searched me for answers, I could feel her cloud of coldness. I felt like she was searching my mind.

I thought hard. "No, I don't." Raven stared at me.

"Where did you follow him to last night?" She circled around me and walked over to my wall of weapons. She ran her hand down my bowstaff, she hit a secret button. Blades 

popped out at the ends and glistened in the small amount of light that came from my computer screens.

I walked over and pressed another button and they retracted. "I think it was his headquarters. Where he was operating from, I don't know; I was hit in the head with metal bar. You don't tend to remember things well after that happens." The sarcasm that dripped in my voice was the results of the tense feeling I was getting from her.

"You sure do have a lot of weapons; a sword, two armed bowstaffs and five regular bowstaffs." I eyed her as she came close to the wall that held my blades and boomerangs. She saw the many communicators and turned sharply around. "One more question then it's your turn"

"What did you do when you 'wronged' people?" She stared me straight in my eyes. I didn't want to tell her. I promised to tell the truth but I felt like they wouldn't accept me if I told them.

I tried to block my mind as much as I could. I wouldn't lie but I didn't want my mind violated just because she couldn't trust me. I closed my eyes. "I got involved in the world of heroes." It was the truth behind it, had I lived a normal life everything would be different.

"Fine," Raven asked. As she started to step through the door Robin was about to knock. He looked over her shoulder at me.

"Do the others trust me?" I waited for her answer

"Excuse me" Raven said as she squeezed by. Robin walked in and looked around, he stared at the news clippings on the wall and notebooks open on my desk.

"I want to know where you stayed in Gotham. And how long did you really stay?" Robin asked quick; I think he knew something I didn't.

I picked up a bowstaff and twirled it gracefully.

"I stayed long enough to be adopted, and I stayed in a big manor." I glared at him.

"How long?!" He growled. I twirled the staff faster and faster.

"A year or two…then I went back to Premith." I returned his glare.

"Uhhh, Robin. We have a guest and I think he's here to see you!!" Beast boy's nervously yelled through the Tower. Robin Walked toward the door and I quickly slung my cape and hood around my shoulder and buckled it then followed. I kept a firm grasp on the staff.



I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a familiar large dark figure standing in the main room. I twirled my bowstaff again then gripped it tightly and clenched my other hand in a fist.

"You need to fix this Tower of yours, Robin, it was much to easy to get in. If I can get through the security that easy, so can anyone else." Batman turned at me. "It's time to go home."

"That's not my home" I spat back.

"This isn't and legally I am responsible for you. Come home." He never understood how being mean doesn't always change someone's mind.

"You can't force me to go back. I am fine here. And how did you find me?" I had ran away, no evidence and no clues. I knew how good of a detective he could be.

"I have been keeping a close watch over Fyres latest operations. I bugged her phone so I knew where she would rob next. I heard you talking to her." Batman voice was as cold as ever he walked toward me.

"Batman, you can't drag her back if she doesn't want to go." Robin looked angry with his arms folded and glaring at the man in the cowl.

"Actually I can. She isn't eighteen yet, I am still her legal guardian." He growled out.

I laughed. "Not according to my I.D." I didn't think before I spoke, I saw everyone in the room's jaw drop. Robin turned and gave me a questioning look and Batman continued to glare.

"Regardless, if you won't come home. Then I am dragging you to jail. Your under arrest." Batman pulled out handcuffs.

"No way man! She didn't do anything; you can't arrest her just because she doesn't want to come home." Beast boy shrieked out.

"What a coincident" I heard the clank of another set of handcuffs "I came here to arrest her also."

Everyone turned to the figure who was climbing in through the window. He was in what looked like a ninja's outfit (a/n I have no idea what they are called) except he wore a mask like Robins. It was midnight black and his black messy hair hung in his face and was very messy. He looked a lot like Robin.

It hit me that HE was the leader of the team in Premith. His name was… Max. I was scared, He ran toward me and threw his arms around me.



"Eclipse, we missed you so much!" He hugged me harder.

"I'm totally confused yo"

"Yes, I am also very confused. Friend Eclipse, what is happening?"

I ignored there questions. I pushed Max off of me and pulled my bowstaff out in front of me. I got in a fighting stance and waited. No one moved so I took a good swing at Max and he went flying and hit a wall.

Batman advanced and Robin backed away toward his friends. Max had stood up and was talking into his communicator. Batman was about a foot away. I raised my staff but as I looked up I saw Jason, his face, his eyes. My hand flailed out and the staff fell. I dropped down and whined.

Robin grabbed Batman's arm. "What exactly is she under arrest for?"

"Conspiring with a known villain, attacking police, robbing, and murder." Robin let go of his arm and backed up. Max dropped his communicator.

"This can't be right; Eclipse wouldn't do anything like that." Max yelled shaking his head from side to side.

"I didn't steal anything, the notebook I took was Jason's and didn't belong to that library. And I wasn't conspiring. Fyre is my friend and I don't care if she is a villain or not, I was just talking to her. And the police attacked me, I fought defense" I looked up at Batman's cold eyes. "I didn't hurt anyone."

"What about murder?"

"I…it was…he was there that night in the parking lot. He killed my brother, I didn't mean to. I tried to save me but he made me drop him." I felt like the walls closed in around me.

"You broke the rules, you are coming home. And you are not ready to fight, you can't. You are just not ready." Batman snapped the cuffs on me. I ran around him, thankfully I was wearing my slippers. Robin and Raven ran toward me and I kicked out Raven s feet and jumped off her to kick down Robin.

I quickly took out Cyborg and Beast boy. I did a back flip and landed unsteady, I couldn't break the cuffs off. I dodged the starbolts being thrown at me. I couldn't do enough damage to K.O. anyone because of the light slippers and not being able to use my hands. I kicked up a chair and delivered a back kick that flung it with enough force to take Starfire out of the air and hit the ground. I pulled a grappling hook out and shot it off, I flew to the top of the Tower. I was about to break the cuffs of but when I turned around I met face with Max.

"Don't do this please. I have been looking for you. Why would you run off?" He grabbed my shoulders.

"I just had to, you wouldn't understand." I looked at his beautiful gold eyes, I felt tears start to roll down my cheeks.

"I had to tell you something, but you left right before I was going to" Max put one hand behind head and wiped my tears away. "I think I should tell you now. I think I love you"

He leaned forward and kissed me. I didn't know how I felt, there were so many people. I think my heart was betraying me. He pulled away and reached into his pocket.

"And because I love you I have to do this" Max looked deep into my eyes when he said this, I felt sharp pain in my wrist, and I looked down and saw he had pushed a syringe into my vein.

I felt tired and groggy. I fell back and was caught by strong hands. I looked up at the dark cowl and the in front of me at Max. My eyes flickered and darkness conquered my vision as I felt wind rush through my hair.

Chapter 4: How many kisses have been lies?

Okay, there it is. Fresh.

Batman gets to lecture in the next chapter. But just a heads up, there was some tag alongs.

Please review, I need some ideas and opinions.
