Hello people! I just want to say thank you first of all for the nice reviews! Five reviews in one day! I was so happy you guys wouldn't believe, my friends questioned why I was so happy J
Lolz! Reviews make my day if you haven't noticed. So as to not disappoint I've written another chapter and as I've promised this is Robin's dream.
Ravenwolf777: Thank for the nice review. I'm glad you like the fight scene I wasn't sure about that. I'm better with romance scenes then action scenes lolz! And also I do have math first thing in the morning, my first class and for an hour and a half it's torture! Lolz!
Angel-of-Energy: Thanks! I thought so I didn't see any other story with that idea and jumped at the opportunity to start a new story. And about Beast Boy…maybe… lolz! Thanks again for the review!
Teentitansandben10lover: Thanks for the review. And yes I am a Gwevin fan I just love it! The thing is that doesn't necessarily mean I should like BB/Terra, I've always liked BB/Rae before. Even though BB/Terra was technically 'grumbles' cannon it's not anymore! I just never liked that pairing especially when Terra broke his heart, so in my stories she's good friends with BB and has somewhat of thing for Speedy…
Mjlover0021: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you thought it was awesome lolz! J
Ttfan111robstar1: Thanks for the review! Yea I like a good father/son moment. Unfortunately I can't fit that in this story it sees to…random to bring in Batman L Trust me if I could I would.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans
The four walked into the Boy Wonder's room to find him in the same state as before. Terra and Aqualad were surprised to see the tear marks on his cheeks, Sam bit her lip she had a feeling she knew what his nightmare was bout. Maybe it was a mixture of his worst memory and worst fear like hers had been, but she wouldn't admit that.
Then her eye caught something, "Why is there a hole in the ceiling?" she questioned.
"Random." Terra stated and Sam pointed to the ceiling.
"Good question though." Aqualad murmured and looked over at Speedy suspiciously, "What did you do?" he questioned.
Speedy feigned shock, "What? Why do you assume it was me!" he said outraged at the accusation.
"Speedy." Terra warned and he sighed.
"It was an accident." he whined.
"Lucky he's not awake but I'm about to change that, stand around his bed we need to wake him up." she instructed, the three nodded and stood around the bed.
She stood over Robin and smiled sadly at her brother, "Ok now just have to focus on our connection." it was easy enough. Sam placed her hand forward and the tip of her middle finger touched Robin's forehead.
"Just let me in Robin, I can help you." she thought as she closed her eyes, it wasn't long until she felt that connection. It came naturally after all they were siblings, that current came into Sam and she felt a bit of fear and panic from Robin.
"Damn it. Bruce taught him well." she thought as she felt him resist her, she spoke softly "Robin don't resist, let me in I'm not going to hurt you." she whispered and felt the resistance died down.
Soon a small red ball of energy began to glow from the tips of Sam's finger and Robin's forehead. The ball then flashed a bright red engulfing the four Titans before dying down. All that was left in the room was a tormented leader.
TT
Sam opened her eyes and looked around and sighed in somewhat relief, "Not the circus thank God!" she couldn't help but think. She really didn't want to relive that memory twice today she might break down just as she did before. Though she was confused all around her she didn't see much just…darkness. It was illuminated rather dimly though by an overhead light bulb. There seemed to be one every few feet barley lighting up a pathway.
She turned and saw Titans East starting to stand up, "Why do we land roughly and you're fine?" Speedy questioned as he rubbed hi head and shot Sam a questioning look.
Sam shrugged, "Don't know but we have to find Robin then try and figure a way to beat his dream."
"Is he going to attack us?" Terra asked.
Sam winced, she hadn't meant to attack her teammates but in way that wasn't her in the nightmare. "Uh no I don't think so." she answered in a somewhat weak voice.
"Well do you know where we are?" Aqualad asked quick to change to the subject.
"No not a clue." she answered and they began to walk forward.
"Why do I have the feeling we're being watched?" Terra asked as she looked around almost afraid to stray from the path.
Speedy stuck his hand out into the darkness, "Not a wall, it's open space." he told them as he pulled his hand back.
"Should we check it out?" Aqualad asked.
"Maybe it's best we don't." Sam answered.
"She may be right we don't know what's here or what here is exactly. It's not good if we get lost especially when we have to find Robin in such a short amount of time." Terra spoke up.
"NO STOP!" a shout was heard followed by a scream that echoed through the room.
The four stopped dead in their tracks and turned to the left, there in what seemed like vast nothingness a small dot of light. The light seemed to almost crackle and flash brighter but did nothing to oppose the nothing that surrounds it.
"What was that?" Sam asked.
"More like who was that." Aqualad corrected his gaze locked onto the dot in the distance.
"We have to check it out that could be Robin." Speedy urged.
"And how do we know we won't be attacked? It could still happen." Terra pointed out.
"We don't but we can't risk losing time if Robin's over there we need to get to him right away." Sam told her and began to hover a foot off the ground.
"We should go quickly but carefully." Speedy said with a nod.
Aqualad raised his hands and pipes lifted from their position in the ground with water spewing out, "Yea that's not loud." Speedy scoffed as the ground around him cracked and he was lifted into the air.
He shot Terra a grateful look, she was going to help him get to the other side. She smiled back at him standing on her own floating rock.
"Let's go." with that the four were off, of course as predicted they were ambushed.
Robots seemed to come from the darkness attempting to stop them, Aqualad smirked and the pipes overhead broke causing water to rush out. He swept the robots up in a current and back into the darkness.
Sam's hands held purple energy and she closed her hands together creating a huge ball of energy before thrusting both hands forward realizing it into a beam. The beam destroyed the robots in her way not showing any mercy as they were practically disintegrated.
Speedy had to cover for both Terra and him as she had to concentrate, he shot off arrows in a frenzy but that didn't affect his accuracy as almost each arrow made contact with something.
The dot in the distance was getting bigger as they got closer and soon they stopped right in front of it, Terra had placed a huge rock wall behind them to protect them from the roots trying to get to them.
"Well…that was interesting." Speedy commented.
"Come on we have to move." Sam said and walked ahead.
The four cautiously stepped into the room, the rounded a corner before retreating back quickly. They're heads poked out from the corner though, there standing in the middle of the room was Slade.
He was facing a wall, someone was bound to it though with steel rope and over that titanium clamps on the person's wrists and ankles rather uncomfortably. The person was a boy who had ripped shirt, and pants, many bruises and cuts were shown on his arms, legs, and his face, the cape he wore was in tatters now. The boy was breathing heavily, he was wearing a mask over his eyes, though there were ripped at the edges at the sides like someone tried to force it off.
"Wait is that-?"
"Robin." Slade then said as he spoke Terra stopped asking her question, "Will you reconsider?"
"Never you crazy psychopath." Robin spat out pure hatred in his tone and his glare was piercing. His glare was so intense the Titans had trouble looking at him but Slade stood firm.
"Even after getting rid of the young changeling, your sister, and the robot?" Slade questioned with a chuckle.
There was a falter in Robin's expression, one that looked so sad, remorseful, and one of mourning before flickering back to rage. "I will never serve you." he hissed.
Slade raised an eyebrow under his mask, "Really?" it sounded like he was happy with Robin's decision. "You won't reconsider even for your demon friend?" Slade asked as he pressed a button on a remote that was in his hands.
Next to Slade a conveyor belt then began to move to show Raven in what seemed like a large glass cylinder case. She looked angry but some traces of fear were barley evident, her hands were glowing white with a black outline. She was throwing some dark beams at a single point of the glass attempting to shatter it.
"She should really stop wasting her energy, each containment cell is built specifically for each of your teammates powers." Slade informed him as he turned to face the half-demon.
"Let her go Slade! She has nothing to do with this, neither did Cyborg, Sam or Beast Boy! This is just between me and you!" Robin shouted desperate to save someone who was like a sister to him.
Slade chuckled evilly, "She is important to you Robin as was the other two. If you really care for her then join me and I shall let her, and the Tamaranean go." Slade told him giving Robin a side-glance.
"No way Slade!" Robin struggled against his bindings, but it didn't do anything just cut his wrists and ankles more, Robin hissed in pain. "Raven!" he shouted trying to communicate with his teammate.
"She can't hear you I soundproofed her cell." Slade informed him. Robin kept struggling, "No please." he mumbled under his breath, feeling the tears prick the back of his eyes as they had before when he saw Cyborg and Beast Boy in the same position mere minutes ago.
"Pity." Slade said as he walked up to the glass containment cell that held Raven, she glared at him her four eyes beginning to show. Slade's gaze didn't waver and he met her eye and smirked under his mask, "Say good-bye to our dark friend."
With a pull of a lever on the conveyor belt it began to move and Raven was being moved somewhere, Raven looked a bit frightened but looked at Robin. She gave him a nod of reassurance and a ghost of a smile. Then she entered a huge machine and fire spewed out, followed by electricity, a scream pierced the air.
"NO! RAVEN!" Robin shouted, hearing the screams of one of his most cherished friends.
Terra and Sam gasped as their eyes widened in horror, Speedy and Aqualad was shocked but were silent.
Sam and Terra were about to run out to stop Slade and help Robin but Aqualad and Speedy stopped them. Aqualad planted a firm hand on Sam's shoulder and Speedy did the same with Terra, they looked at them questioningly and they just shook their heads, "Not yet."
Robin's head hung from his place on the wall, a nasty glare and scowl on his face but a few tears penetrated his mask and fell.
Slade shook her head, "You could have saved her Robin, if only you would listen."
"You evil demented demon." Robin hissed raising his head to meet Slade's eyes. Slade returned the gaze evenly not at the least shaken by this hostile glare.
He smirked, "Next." he clicked the remote in his hands, "Someone very precious to you." he said and you could hear the certainty in his voice, like he knew Robin would cave with this one.
Another glass containment cell was brought out by the conveyor belt, in it this time was someone that made Robin cry out.
"NO! STOP THIS!" he shouted struggling even more against his restraints, not even feeling the pain anymore.
There in the cell was a weak but determined looking Tamaranean princess. She looked worn out and her uniform looked like tatters but covered her still. Many cuts and bruises covered her stomach, arms, and face.
"STARFIRE!" Robin shouted.
The girl in the cell pounded on the glass attempting to shatter it with her amazing strength, "ROBIN!" she shouted desperate to get to him.
Slade chuckled, "Well Robin are you willing to join me for your lovely young friend?" Slade asked as he gestured to the cell and faced Robin.
Robin growled at him, "You let her go now." he hissed with such ferocity that even Slade was surprised.
"She does mean a lot to you, but how much? You are willing to watch her die slowly and painfully then serve me?" he asked tauntingly.
"Just let her go Slade, I'll take you on now!" Robin yelled struggling more.
Starfire's eyes were glowing a neon green and she was shooting a star beam at the glass cell. "Robin!" she shouted and then sparks came from within the cell and soon Starfire was screaming as electricity sparked and shocked her.
"NO!" he shouted his eyes wide in fear and horror.
"You can save her Robin just join me." Slade offered.
Starfire was on her knees by this time, she lifted her head to meet Robin's gaze. She smiled sadly, "I am fine." she choked out, she gave a weak chuckle, "It is, as Beast Boy would say, 'just a scratch'."
Tears rimmed her emerald green eyes, "Don't Robin." she pleaded, "Don't go with him." she begged as some tears slipped down her gem like eyes.
"Star." he whispered tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"We have to help." Terra urged, she just can't bear seeing her friends like this and was more then willing to pound Slade.
"Wait, we have to wait for the right time." Speedy told her and Aqualad nodded. Sam was quiet as she watched the scene unfold but a scowl was on her face as she glared at Slade.
"Well Robin?" Slade asked.
Robin's gaze flickered from Starfire to Slade before resting on Starfire he looked ready to give in, "No! Robin please he will destroy me anyway! Do not Robin please we will get out of this! Just please don't do this…please." she begged more tears falling from her angelic face.
Robin cracked as tears flowed freely before glaring at Slade with so much rage, "You can take your offer and shove it up your-"
"Robin! You have defied me for far too long! I have offered most generously for you to be my apprentice but you refuse! All you care about is your worthless teammates! Especially this Troq!" he shouted, Robin looked ready to kill.
"Maybe it is best if I get rid of her." Slade stated and moved towards the conveyor belt.
"NO STARFIRE!" Robin shouted as horror overtook his face.
Starfire glared at the man in front of her, "Stupid Troq." Slade sneered.
"Clorbag varblernelp." Starfire hissed her eyes glowing neon green.
Slade growled and pulled the lever, the conveyor belt moved underneath Starfire and she was being taken to the giant machine.
"NO! PLEASE STOP!" Robin begged.
Starfire stared at the machine in front of her no trace of fear on her face, she turned to Robin and placed a delicate hand on the cell, "Good-bye Robin." she smiled sadly.
"As my last wish please don't to Slade…I-I love you Robin, good-bye." she whispered as she was being dragged into the machine.
"STARFIRE!" Robin shouted as she was dragged in.
"Ok that's it." Sam hissed and stood up from her crouching position, her eyes glowing a dangerous purple, Terra was right behind her a bright yellow glow in her eyes.
Speedy and Aqualad didn't stop them this time as they stood, the water gathering around Aqualad and Speedy readied three arrows.
"Titans GO!" Sam shouted and they shot off.
Terra slammed her hands into the ground and smashed the machine…just as a scream was heard from inside of it.
Aqualad had the water sweep over the room as robots then fell from the rafters from above, Speedy shot off arrows fending the robots off as well.
Sam flew over to Robin and blasted the restraints off of him, he feel to the floor. His face a mixture of sadness, confusion, relief, mourning, and so many more. He reached up and touched Sam's face with his hand, resting it on her cheek , "H-How?" he asked.
"Robin listen to me this is a dream, a nightmare we have to get you out of here."
"Not without Starfire." he replied sternly.
Sam bit her lip, "I-I'm sorry Robin."
"No! She's still alive!" he insisted.
"If you wake up you can see her and help her. She's suffering right now Robin please just open your eyes and you'll be with her again." Sam told him.
An explosion was heard behind Sam and they both looked back to see Slade trying to fend off Terra. She was doing pretty well against him as she chucked a boulder in his direction and it scraped by his mask.
"Not until I take care of Slade." Robin growled, vengeance on his mind.
"There's not enough time, Robin please if we don't leave now Starfire will be in trouble." Sam told him as she whipped her head to face him.
"But sh-she, you said she's."
"In here in this nightmare yes but out of your mind she's locked in a nightmare! Robin I think you're the only one who can bring her out of it and there's not enough time, please Richard it's time to wake up." Sam told him a gentle smile on her face.
A look of realization came across Robin's face as a red ball of energy appeared on Robin's forehead it then flashed brightly, "NO!" Slade yelled as he was engulfed in the energy as well as the Titans.
TT
"Aaaah!" Robin shouted as he bolted upright in a cold sweat. He was panting and he ran a tired hand through his hair, his eyes wide.
"Oh man, what a nightmare." he breathed.
"Robin! You're finally awake!" Sam shouted and hugged him, Robin looked surprised but hugged his sister tightly.
"Yea." he breathed and flashed the other Titans weak smiles.
"Do you remember what happened?" Speedy asked his friend.
Robin nodded as Sam released him, "Yea Mother-Mae Eye attacked…that would explain the nightmare." he sighed and cringed.
He then looked around, "Where are the others?" he asked.
Terra sighed, "Locked in their own nightmare." she replied.
"Cyborg is awake and right now is trying to wake Beast Boy." Aqualad informed him.
"Unfortunately Raven and Starfire are still asleep." Sam continued.
"And we have to wake them up before the end of today or they'll be locked in their nightmare forever." Terra finished.
"What!" Robin shouted.
Sam looked at the others, "Now that we have Robin I think we should wake Starfire, I think he's the key to wake her up."
"Makes sense I mean Star was technically the key to wake him up." Speedy muttered.
Robin blushed lightly, "Shut it Speedy right now we have to help Starfire." Robin told him firmly as he stood up.
"We should get going then." Aqualad suggested, with a round of nods they all ran out the door and headed towards a certain Tamaranean's room.
Yay! Done! Damn not as long as the other chapter…oh well what can you do? So yea that was Robin's dream! What do you think? Good, bad? I know some of you were expecting the circus but I didn't know how to fit that in. So next chapter is Beast Boy's dream. That'll take some time though alright, I need to think that one through. So I won't update as quickly with the next chapter. Until next time please review and good-bye!
