Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. The Teen Titans are not my idea! The Teen Titans belong to their rightful owners.
Alright so this is a really short chapter! It's an experiment of sorts so you'll see what I mean! Also, whenever Slade talks to Robin using the probes I'm going to put it like this "Kill him Robin" but whenever Robins' imagining Slade's voice on his own I'm going to put it like this *Kill him Robin*
Ch. 7
"Is he awake now?" Starfire asked Cyborg for the millionth time.
"Star," Cyborg said, rolling his eyes, "the man's just been nearly tortured to death. And you asked me if he was awake five minutes ago! Just go back to your room and you'll be the first to know when he wakes up, okay?"
"Okay," Starfire said hesitantly, and leaving her best friend, disappeared into her room.
TTTTTTTTTT
Pain, hurt, pain, music, pain, fire, burn, fire, hurt
"Is he awake?"
Voice, pain, circus, pain, fire, pain, burn
"His vital signs are getting better…"
Voices, soft, fire, burn, pain, pain, music, torture
"But look at his wrists! And his ankles! Poor dude…"
Voices, care, not fire, not burn, not pain
"I know BB, he went through a lot…he's a tough guy…"
Voices, friends, soothe, heal, not fire, not pain
*Kill him.*
SLADE FIRE PAIN FIRE BURN TORTURE PAIN JOLTING MUSIC SEARING PAIN FIRE!
"What's happening?"

"His body's going into shock! The pain from all the torture must be catching up with him!"
"Please Robin you must stay with us!"

"Robin we're going to have to set up an IV for you, you'll feel a small prick-

*Become my apprentice Robin, stop watching your life burn before your eyes. Join me.*
Join pain join fire join burning…master?
*It would be so easy.*
No Slade pain Slade not master killing bad pain
*Am I the only who has hurt you?*
Voices not soft voices prick pain Slade speak truth
"Robin, please, you must wake up!"
Voices begging, begging me, soft voices, innocent voices…
Starfire!
Robin bolted upright in bed, a cold sweat sticking to his face. Breathing heavily he looked around the room, his eyes settling on each of the Titans, saving Starfire for last.
"You are awake!" Starfire cried. "Glorious!" And with that Starfire flew over and gave Robin a bone crushing hug.
"Glad to see you're awake," Cyborg smiled.
"We were so worried," BB stated. Robin smiled softly as he held onto Starfire, hoping this moment would never end. He didn't want to let go, for he was afraid that everything would be taken away again. He didn't want to go back down into the darkness that he had just resurfaced from. The darkness where Slade spoke the truth.
So let me know what you guys think, this chapter especially! I wanted to try an experiment to see if I could capture Robin's feelings through his mixed up and tortured thoughts. Let me know what you think, pretty please!
