Teen Titans fanfic by Lady Melieka

Chapter 4

Alrighty then! We've made it to chappie 4!

Umm, as you might have figured out, this will be a fic featuring the other Titans.

Yeah, this is the part where you all tell me off for being Captain Obvious…sorry.

Still don't like Starfire. Think she should go back to her planet and make little Tamaranian babies that are so disgustingly cheerful every second of every day of every, you get the idea, so Robin can figure out he's gay and get together with Speedy. Or anyone else, so long as it's a guy! SLASH RULES FOREVER!

Sorry. Little carried away there.

Ummm, thanx go to all the reviewers for chapter 3, I'd name you all, but I can't tell now who reviewed for what chapter, sorry.

I do want to say one thing to one reviewer though, to Ashiki, no, Robin will not find feelings for Slade…ever. Don't worry, I'm just as against that as you appear to be, Robbie will hate Slade for ever. So no fear.

Disclaimer: well, aside from the fact that I don't own Teen Titans and am making no money from this piece of fiction, there isn't much to disclaim.

There will be adult themes in this chapter, very light swearing, and some wonderfully implied slashiness, but none of the good stuff. So read, enjoy, and please review?

Title: Captured (still just the title.)

And, Tally Ho! Lol

Speedy sighed, and picked up a sheaf of papers from Robin's desk. These were the notes he had made. Inconclusive rubbish, the lot of it.

He threw them onto the floor, scattering them everywhere, then sunk down onto his knees, covering his face with his hands. "Robin!" he whispered, choking back a sob. "I miss you so much!"

It had now been 3 weeks since Robin had been captured, and 2 since Speedy had been put in charge of the rescue mission.

Abruptly, he stood up. "That's not right!" He turned, and left Robin's room.

"Hey, hey guys!" The other Titans looked up at Speedy in surprise. "Listen, why am I the only one doing anything? I'm working my ass off, and you are all sitting here like fat lumps of shit!" Even BeastBoy figured out that this meant Speedy was angry at them.

Cyborg grimaced. "Sorry Speedy. But Robin's kind of…a lone wolf sorta person. If one of us were captured, and he was in charge, he wouldn't let us do anything. We prolly wouldn't even see him again, until he'd rescued the person." He stood up. "What can we do?"

Speedy was a little shaken up by this, he stared at Cyborg for a moment, then shook his head, to clear it.

"Um, right. Well, first of all, I want Raven at the computer, digging up anything that might mention Slade, of the past 3 weeks. Starfire, I want you in Robin's room. There's a bunch of papers on the floor for you to sort out, first by date, then putting together anything that looks similar. Ok?"

The two girls nodded, and left. Cyborg looked over at Speedy. "Abunch of papers on the floor?"

Speedy cleared his throat. "So I made a mess, what of it? Any way, BeastBoy, I want you to go with Raven. Please don't bug her, but if she finds something, I want you to bring it to me straight away, even if Cyborg and I aren't back yet."

BeastBoy saluted. "Ys, Sir!" Speedy laughed as the little green guy hurried off after Raven.

"He is so weird. What?" Cyborg was looking at him strangely. "Robin would'a told BeastBoy off for that." He looked away, but when he turned back, he was smiling. "So…where are we going?"

Speedy just looked at him.

"Not that factory! Speedy, we've already been back there! Twice!"

Speedy frowned, and began walking to the door. "Not with me you haven't. Come on." He didn't even look back, just assumed Cyborg would follow. Which of course he did.

"So, what exactly are we looking for?"

Speedy rolled his eyes (not that anyone could tell cos of his mask), and replied, "any kind of clue. We're looking for things that only Robin would pick up, so the trick is to try and think like Robin." He screwed up his face. "Can we do that, d'you think?"

Cyborg shook his head. "I dunno, man. Maybe you can, but I sure as hell can't."

Speedy sighed. "Cyborg, if I tell you a huge secret, will you promise not to tell the other Titans?"

Cyborg nodded. "Sure, what's up?"

Speedy smiled, and took a deep breath, willed his hands to stop shaking.

"Well, um, I told you all before, how, how Robin and I were close, right, but what I didn't tell you was …was how close, exactly."

He paused for a moment, and shuddered. Startled, Cyborg stopped walking, and turned to face him. "What are you tryin' to say, Speedy?" He asked gently.

"What I'm trying to say, and this is so hard for me to tell you, especially without Robin right next to me, is that Robin and I were, sort of, seeing each other." He finished lamely.

Cyborg took this in for a moment, then, "seeing each other? As in, you guys were…dating?" Speedy took a cautious step backwards, and nodded, before adding, "we never actually said it, and I don't have any idea how he really feels about me, but I love him."

It was a long time before Cyborg spoke. "When you say, dating - and I'm not prying, ya understand, just trying to make sense of this – what exactly do you mean?"

Speedy smiled. "Very…diplomatic, if a little confusing. We were just like every other couple. Except we were two boys, so we had to keep it more secret." He touched his fingers to his lips. "At the risk of traumatising you, Robin's a really, really good kisser."

Cyborg nodded slowly, processing this. "You must miss him more than all of us combined." He said softly, and Speedy finally relaxed fully. That meant Cyborg didn't hate him and Robin for being gay. And together. "I do miss him." He whispered. "I don't sleep anymore, 'cause when I do, I dream about what Slade could be doing to my Robin, and a lot of those things are too hideous to mention, but they're all possible!"

Cyborg realised something then. "You didn't bring me down here to look for clues, did you? You brought me here to tell me all this in privacy."

Speedy nodded, drawing in a deep breath. "Yeah. I just…I had to tell someone, you know? It was, eating away at me, and I couldn't stand it any more!"

Cyborg nodded. "I understand. But right now I think we should go back to the Tower, filch some of Raven's herbal tea," Speedy smiled at the way Cyborg deliberately pronounced the 'h' in herbal, "and then you should go rest. All the junk in the tea'll help you relax, so you won't dream. How does that sound?"

Speedy sighed. "That sounds great." Cyborg grinned. Once you really got to know him well, Speedy wasn't as much like Robin as he had thought, and that was really good.

If anyone could save Robin, it was this guy…just like him, but without the bad habits.

"Cy, I have some info for Speedy, let me in!"

Cyborg glared at BeastBoy. "Voice down, man. Speedy's restin'. Give me the info, and I'll give it to him later."

BeastBoy rolled his eyes. "Whatever. He gets to sleep off his little 'stroll,' and we're still working our butts off! How's that fair, I ask you?"

Cyborg suddenly turned very menacing. "Don't ever talk about Speedy that way again. We worked him to death for 2 weeks, he needs to get over that. Give me the info, and get outta here." BeastBoy frowned, but did as he was told.

So that's chappie 4. I want at least 5 more reviews before I post chappie 5, and let me tell you, this one's when all the action starts!
