Whoo, update times! Warnings for character death and violence, plus info dump. Other characters' fates will be told later, but for now, this is it, unless you ask nicely. Maybe one and a half more memory chapters? Or are they too terrible?

As usual, I don't own Teen Titans, or I'd have Aqualad as my butler. Ooo, and Robin as a maid xD

Shards Of Time:

What Did He Do To You? (Part II)

It took Raven a full minute to calm herself, to stop seeing Beast Boy's death everywhere she looked.

"How could he?" she whispered, expecting no answer, "Kill someone? Our friend? It must be a mistake!"

Her eyes raked the room, landing on another nearby figure.

"Speedy. I'll try him."

Again, when her fingers brushed against it, she was pulled into another memory.

Instead of a room, it was a battlefield, one which had elements of familiarity. Raven was sickened once she realized it was outside Titan Tower. In front of the Tower were a mixture of familiar faces and ones she didn't know – Speedy, Jinx, Kid Flash, Hot Spot, Beast Boy, Wildebeest , Aqualad, and, to her surprise, Control Freak and Fang. Across from them, lead by a Robin whose transition to Nightwing looked almost complete, were an army of robots as well as a couple of old allies and enemies – Bumble Bee, Kitten, Mas y Menos, and Johnny Rancid. All of their uniforms were more subdued, black, without personality. Raven's heart leapt as Robin spoke.

"Surrender now and I may spare your lives."

There was no emotion in his voice, neither sorrow nor triumph. It was merely flat, which was almost worse. Raven almost wanted him to gloat, just to see him feel.

"There is no surrendering to tyrants," Cyborg spat, "This ends now."

With an ironic smile, Robin yelled, "Titans, GO!"

Thus the battle began.

Cyborg strapped himself to the tower as the robots charged, gaining massive power to shoot through masses of them. Raven knew the final outcome of the battle, but now, it looked as the Titans – the real Titans – had a chance.

Kid Flash was protecting Cyborg from the attacks he couldn't block, Beast Boy was fighting Bee, Speedy and Aqualad versus Mas y Menos, Hot Spot fighting Johnny Rancid, Jinx versus Kitten, Wildebeest and Fang against Robin, with Control Freak gleefully fighting robots.

The Empath was about to seriously wonder if there was a mistake when she saw Robin crush Fang like the part-bug he was with a brutal blow from the bo-staff. Wildebeest charged, but Robin skipped over him as if it was a game of leap frog. Jinx sent a bolt of magic his way, but he managed to dodge it, sending a shower of lethal birdarangs towards the girl. Her magic protected her from them, but they did hit unintended targets, striking Kitten in the throat and Control Freak in the arm.

A piercing cry distracted Raven from that fight, drawing her to where Aqualad, Speedy, and the twins were. Menos lay on the ground, still, and Mas was wailing. Their former teammates looked between horror and disgust, Speedy like he was about to be sick. Aqualad took the opportunity to kick Mas in the head, rending him unconscious.

But it was Speedy that Raven was watching; even if she hadn't seen him in the trophy room, she could tell from the look on his face that something was going to happen. His eyes narrowed and his features hardened, and he took off in the other direction, towards Robin. Their former friend had just slapped electrified cuffs on Beast Boy, kicking him aside for a robot to deal with. Being thus distracted, he was inches away from being hit head-on by Speedy's arrows. Still, one of them grazed his arm, which looked as if were paralyzed.

If Speedy or anyone else thought it would slow Robin down, they were mistaken. He instead attacked with his legs, connecting against Speedy's bow. Without that, the archer used his arrows like knives, jabbing and stabbing at Robin, who dodged masterfully. Using his uninjured arm, Robin elbowed Speedy in the throat, causing him to gasp for air. Without as much as a look of regret, Robin grabbed one of Speedy's electric arrows and rammed it down his throat. The archer's body twitched for almost a minute before it finally stilled, but Robin wasn't there to see it. He had already rejoined the battle.

This time, there were no screams when Raven emerged from the memory, no struggle. Her calm was one of shock. She almost wished she was still watching the battle, wanting to know what happened to the rest of the Titans.

"It won't help," she told herself, "There will only be more things you can't unsee. Besides," she swallowed, "It's not the type of memory I need."

Raven made her way to the door, trying not to look at the others featured in the room.

"There are two places that could help now," she decided, trying to keep her minds off the horrors it had witnessed, "My room and Robin's."

Robin's room was closer, so Robin's room it would be. Hoping that he hadn't had the time needed to track her down yet, she ran towards his room, skidding to a halt when she reached the door. She gently pushed against the nameplate, and the door slid open.
