Here's chapter 4 for ya!
-x-
It was now almost evening, the sun was setting, which made the sky have a beautiful orange color.
Robin sat on the tower's roof, watching the sunset, when he heard foot steps. He turned around and saw Starfire.
"Greetings, friend, May I join you?" she said.
"Um…sure, Star." He said. She sat by his right side.
"After your nightmare, I kept wondering…how did your parents…" she stopped when she saw the look in his face. "Sorry, I reminded you of them."
"They were acrobats." He said. "One day, the trapeze rope broke."
"Oh, I am…very sorry…" she said.
"You don't need to be." He got closer to her, which gave her chills.
"I've been thinking about everything you said to me the other day." He said.
"And I realized that I often act like a jerk with you."
"Robin…"
"It's just…I-I hurt you and…and I hated myself for that." He said.
"Do not hate yourself…you are a great person." She said.
"No, that's you." He got even closer to her, she blushed. Their faces were inches apart.
"You were…distant lately." She said.
"I know. But I can change that." He said, leaning in. She did the same. Both closing their eyes, their lips almost touching…
The tower's alarm sounded. They sighed in frustration and went inside.
"What's going on?" asked Robin, when they got in the common room. The TV screen flashed and a face appeared there. A face the titans knew way too well.
"Slade." Said Robin.
"Hello Robin." Said Slade. "It's nice to see old faces, isn't it?"
"What are you planning?" said Robin in an angry tone.
"Easy, Robin. I was about to tell you." The camera moved to a person, kneeled down and injured, blood was all over the floor. "I think…you may know him." At that moment, the titans were able to see who it was.
They all looked wide-eyed to the figure of…Batman.
"Wow." Said Cyborg.
"No way!" said Beast Boy.
Starfire gasped.
"That's not good." Said Terra.
"Definitely not good." Said raven.
"No…" said Robin. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?"
"Nothing that you're not able to see." He said calmly. "You've got two hours to find him. Tic-tac Robin." The screen flashed again and turned off.
Robin hit his fist on the control panel.
"We're gonna find him and we're gonna take him out of there. Titans, move, now!"
"Ok, just…don't loose it." Said Cyborg.
"I won't." he said. "Just when I get to Slade."

Did you wait for that one?
When I said Robin's past, I meant Batman as well.
