Chapter .4

Recap :

You will.


'I have to battle Starfire. Nice, sweet, funny, Starfire. I can't. I won't.' Robin thought.

"And if I don't do it?" Robin asked.

"Oh, well if you don't, the handle bar you see here, will go to level 5. As you can see, level 5 is the highest power. And the highest power will send Starfire to a not-so-pretty place." X answered back.

Robin looked back at Starfire. There, she sat not moving. She was already weak, she couldn't take anymore damage.

"Fine, I'll do it" Robin said weakly, but still agreeing to X's terms.

"Perfect. Now I will train you, so you will be up to Starfire's level of power. Understand?" X said.

"I understand" Robin said.

He had no choice but to understand.

Back at the tower

"Dudes! He's been gone for 3 hours already! Don't you think we should go look for him?" Beast boy asked.

"You heard X, Robin had to go alone. If we show up, not only will Starfire pay for it, so will Robin ." Raven responded.

"Yeah, BB. We can't afford anyone else getting hurt!" Cyborg added.

"Fine! But if he comes back, and he looks like he's just been in World War II, it is so your fault!" Beast boy said, pointing at Cyborg and Raven.

"Don't worry Beast boy. Robin and Starfire are tough. They'll come back fine." Raven said, trying to calm everyone down. 'I hope' Raven thought, trying to stay positive.

Back to Robin

Robin's POV

11:30. 4 hours I've been here. X has been training me like a dog trying to become part of the police squad. I've fought 50 of his minions tonight. I've been blasted by their guns, and punished for not doing the best I could've done. According to X.

I don't think I can handle anymore, but I'm going to have to. For Starfire.

Normal POV

"Now Robin, training for this evening is done. You will have a brand new task in the morning. This," X said, pointing to a cellar, disturbing Robin's thought. "Is where you will be sleeping for the night."

"We never agreed to this!" Robin yelled back, as he punched his fist into his hand.

"Now, now Robin. Don't make me push the handle…" Red X said, taunting Robin.

Silence from Robin.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." X said.

Silence from Robin.

X led Robin to a cellar. It was pitch black, cold and smelled terrible. As the lights came on, you saw what really was in the cellar. There was bed, with no pillows or covers -- that looked so uncomfortable that Beast boy wouldn't sleep on it--, a sink and a door. "Hope you sleep well, good night." said X, trying to hide his laughter.

Robin knew that X didn't mean one word that just came out of his mouth. He also knew that this was gonna be a long night.

Back at the tower

The tower was quiet. Everyone was sleeping. Except for one titan. Beast boy was in the living room, working with the monitor, trying to track down Robin. 'Come on dude! You gotta be somewhere in this town!' Thought Beast boy.

Beast boy tried to locate 5th street, of which X spoke of, but the monitor couldn't find anything.

The monitor finally started to pick up something. "Dudes! Wake up!" Beast boy shouted. No response. "I am so gonna get my butt kicked for doing this." Beast boy whispered. Then, he pulled the emergency alarm.

"What? What happened?" Raven asked, flying into the living room, still half asleep.

"5 more minutes mommy!" Cyborg said, as he walked into the living room, trying to stay awake.

"Guys! I found Robin" Beast boy said, excited.

Raven then gave him "the look". (The bad one)

"I know, I know! If we interfere, blah blah blah. But come on! We won't go in the factory, we're just gonna make sure Robin's okay, then we'll leave!" Beast boy explained.

"I'm not to sure about this Beast boy.." Raven questioned.

"Please Raven, we won't get involved! Promise!" Beast boy said, nearly begging.

"Fine, but no getting involved!" Raven responed.

Beast boy and Cyborg nodded.

"Fine. Let's go." Raven said, very monotone.

"Well, alright! I'll go get the T-car ready." Cyborg said.

"Okay we're gonna come and help too, the faster we get the T-car ready, the faster we get there, and the faster we save Robin and Starfire!" Beast boy said, very confident in himself.

Everyone got in the T-car, and they we're off to 5th street.

As they were driving, Cyborg's monitor picked up something

"The signal is coming from there" Cyborg said, pointing to the corner of 5th street.

Cyborg turned to the corner as Beast boy got out and followed the directions Cyborg was giving him.

"Left…no not that left, you're going right!" Cyborg said. 'I just gotta put this stuff in Beast boy's terminology' Cyborg thought.

"Now Beast boy, go left! No, not that left, your other left!" Cyborg directed. "Good, now walk straight, straight, and...you're...there!" Cyborg said, finishing his sentence.

"Uhmm…dude, why did you lead me to a garbage can?" Beast boy asked.

"That's impossible! My signal says it's coming from here!" Cyborg said.

"I found his communicator!" Raven said, as she picked Robin's communicator from the garbage can.

"The dude threw out his communicator! ?" Beast boy shouted.

"Yeah, because he probably didn't want us to go after him" Cyborg pointed out.

Raven gave Beast boy the "I told you so" look.

"Okay, so I was wrong! What do we do now ?" Beast boy said.

"I say, if Robin doesn't come back to the tower by 1:00pm tomorrow, we go look for him" Raven suggested.

"Great idea Raven!" Cyborg shouted.

"Whatever." Beast boy said.

Cyborg and Raven both laughed, as the three member team, made there way back to the tower.

Back to Robin and X

Robin kept tossing and turning in his bed. Not only because it was uncomfortable, but because he was worried about Starfire.

He couldn't plan an escape because he practically had a whole army of minions guarding his door!

Then, when he thought it couldn't get any worse, Robin found himself having to go to the bathroom.

"Any chance you wanna-be X's would let me go to the bathroom?" Robin said, loud enough for them to hear.

"No." One of them answered harshly.

"Yeah, that's what I thought" Robin said, sarcastically.

And with that, Robin tried as hard as he could to fall asleep. He got up at least 5 times, either to pace or get a glass of water. He tried everything he possibly could to make himself tired. After he finally thought he could fall asleep, he got back into bed and rested his mind, body and soul.

It was two in the morning and Robin had finally fallen asleep.

Back at the tower

In the tower, everyone was sound asleep until the emergency alarm went off.

"BEAST BOY, QUIT FOOLING AROUND!" Raven shouted, but the alaram kept beeping.

The three titans found themselves in the living room altogether, just staring at one other.

"Beast boy, Robin said to never pull the alarm unless there's a REAL emergency!" Cyborg shouted.

"It wasn't me, I swear!" Beast boy shouted back.

"Well if it wasn't me, or you, or Cyborg, who pulled the alarm?" Raven asked, getting impatient.

"Okay "Miss I have good comebacks", doesn't the alarm go off when someone tries to break into the tower?" Beast boy said.

"Well, yeah but, no one's in here!" Raven said.

"Uhmm… guys. We have company!" Cyborg yelled, trying to get there attention.

"What?!" Raven and Beast Boy shouted at the same time.

"Turn around" Cyborg said, pointing behind Raven and Beast boy.

Raven and Beast boy turned around in synchronization, to find themselves surrounded by X's minions.

"Oh dude! You have got to be kidding me!" Beast boy said in a whiny voice.

At that moment, Beast boy was blasted by one of the mini X's.

"Oh no! Ya'll think you can just bust into my tower, then you think you can just blast one of our team members? Who do you think you are-" Cyborg was then cut off, as one of the mini X's tackled him down.

"Azarath. Metrion. ZINTHOS!" Raven said, as the forks and knives came flying out of the drawer, aiming straight to the mini X's.

"Guys there gonna destroy the tower!" Cyborg said, when he was finally free from the minions.

"We have to get them outside!" Raven said, struggling to get the mini X's off of her.

Just then, a large, green T-Rex crashed through the big window of the living room, causing all the mini X's to follow him.

"Alright, Beast boy!" Shouted Cyborg.

"Nice." Raven said, very monotone.

"Uhm.. dudes! A little help here!" Beast boy yelled, loud enough for Raven and Cyborg to hear.

"Hold on BB! We're coming" Cyborg said.

Raven took Cyborg by the arms, and the two of them flew down to help Beast boy.

Robin and X

When Robin woke up, he found himself with a huge back ache and X hovering over him, causing Robin to jump a little.

"What do you want X?" Robin asked, in a grumpy mood.

"My, my, aren't we a little grumpy-pants in the morning, " said X.

"What do you want?" Robin repeated.

"Oh, I just came to remind you that practice starts in 5 minutes, and that tomorrow is the big battle day" X said.

'Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I have to battle Starfire. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. But I have to. For the both of us.' Robin thought.

Just as Robin finished his thought, Red X walked out the room.

After Robin had washed up, he got ready for practice, and dragged himself to the practice area.
