Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, sadly enough. Nor do I own Batman: Under the Redhood. At least I'm working on the former. xD

A/N: May I present to you, Chapter 10: Reinforcements. I think this is one of my better non-Robin chapters if I must say so myself. I want to thank KaliAnn AND Thaliag.2 for their reviews. They gave me motivation. Without them this chapter might have taken longer to rewrite.

Chapter 10: Reinforcements

Cyborg

Location: Titans Tower

Date: December 16 Time: 21:47

"Well guys it's been real, but I should…" Terra announced pulling her backpack onto her shoulders. Terra had been great. Since she had joined the Titans the overall atmosphere had improved. Star had a new girl she could hang out with as opposed to Raven who had once again taken up reading in the front room.

Everyone was slowly going back to the way they were. Sure, no one would be quite the same, but at least we were getting along. That is, until Terra informed us that she was planning on leaving again.

"Don't even think about it," I said blocking her way out the door. Behind her, BB and Star gathered around her Rea hovering near me.

"Okay, what's going on?" she asked as we blocked her in.

"Well we-," Rea started. As long as I knew her, Rea was never one to show that she cared. I was glad to see that Terra was someone that could help rebuild her relationship with people.

"Talked it over and-," I continued happily.

"We wish for you to stay with us!" Star finished jumping with glee.

"We think that you would be a great Titan," I informed her sincerely. The rest of the group nodded in agreement.

Ever since Robin's let down I've had to take charge of our group. During the first few weeks after we realized what happed we almost didn't make it. Star wouldn't come out of her room, BB was walking around half depressed half pissed off, and Rea… Raven dealt with it in her own way.

"So… Wanna' be a Titan?" BB asked excitedly a goofy smile spreading on his face. I held out her official communicator.

"Me? Really?"

"Of course you'll need more training," Rea stated bluntly. I may have stepped up as the improvised leader but Rea took over the harder aspects of the job knowing my laissez-fair personality didn't handle it well. "I know you have trouble controlling your powers so-"

Dropping her communicator she directed her attention to Beast Boy.

"You told them!" Terra yelled directing the outburst towards Beast Boy.

Told us what? I wondered anxiously as the situation intensified.

"I didn't," he defended his ears lowering.

"You promised! You lied to me! You lied!" she shouted running out the door.

"No! Terra wait!" he yelled trotting after her.

"What was that all about?" I directed my question to Rea, the only other person who seemed to know what was going on.

"I didn't know the fact that she couldn't control her powers was a secret," Raven disclosed as she retreated to the common room. "I thought it was obvious. She is too dangerous to have around anyway and we have bigger things to deal with."

There we go again, I thought shaking my head. Just as I thought she was making progress.

As much as I hated to admit it, Raven was right. We had to deal with Robin and we couldn't deal with them both. As far as I could tell Beast Boy had it on the run with Terra. Whatever was going on, it was something they had to sort out.

"But, Raven, terra is our friend. We should go out and do the counseling to make sure she is okay."

"Star we have to figure out what to do about Robin. We can't handle him on our own anymore. We need reinforcements," I concluded smashing my fist into my other hand. I had been mulling over the idea for weeks now. It was time someone acted on it.

"Who do you have in mind Cy?"

I could tell by her tone that she was distraught. Which did she want more? Find out about Robin or go find out what happened with Terra? In the end her feelings for Robin won.

"I think we should-"

"No," Rea interrupted already knowing who I had in mind.

"Come on! You didn't even here what I was going to say!"

"I know what you're going to say and the answer is no."

"Then you do you suggest Rea?" I asked throwing my hands up. Why was she being this way?

"I don't know but, there is a reason they no longer work together. We could be making it ten times worse if we call him in." She was right once again. But who else could we call?

"Call in who?" Star asked puzzled.

"The Dark Knight."

"The Knight of Dark? I am confused. Who is this Night of dark and what does he have to do with Robin?"

"The Dark Knight and Robin used to be partners," I explained. "Star, you've never heard of 'Batman and Robin'?"

"No. I have not heard of this 'Man of Bats' and Robin. Why would I?"

"They were the best in the business. Robin was one of the first sidekicks ever. He and Batman used to run around Gotham fighting crime before he met us."

"Then why has he not mentioned him?" she snapped.

"It's not that simple, Star," Raven answered. "No one knows what happened between them. Well obviously Robin does but it's not like we're in a position to ask him."

"Why don't we find out? At least Batman has the resources to get Robin away from Slade," I defended. Rea ignored me, deciding to refrain from voicing everyone else's thoughts. What if Robin didn't want to be saved?

"Their relationship is something we don't understand. We shouldn't get him involved. We don't even have a means of contact."

"Yes, we do. I think," Star added nervously tucking a piece of red hair behind her ears.

"What?" I asked eagerly. Batman was the key to getting Robin back that much I was sure of.

"Robin has two communicators in his room. One of them is ours and another one. It's black. I saw it the last time he was here and when I asked him about it he said it was to call home," she finished sadly dwelling on the memory.

"Star can you get it?" This was it, our grand plan on how to get Robin back from Slade. Even if he didn't want to come back surely Batman could convince him and hopefully take down Slade in the process.

"I'll do it," Raven offered glancing over at Star. "But I still don't approve," she added disappearing.

Within a minute she reappeared with the device in hand. Tossing it to me I quickly opened the back and began attempting to hook it up to the main computer. Beast boy entered the room quietly his head hanging low.

"She didn't even say goodbye," he announced walking towards his room.

"He just needs some time," Rea told Star when we heard his door slam.

"Okay, I got," I announced twisting the last wire. "Did it work?" I asked sticking my head out from under the table.

"Glorious, friend! You have done it!"

The Dark Knight's symbol showed prominently against the white screen. I punched in the last of the codes a loud ringing echoed around the room. It repeated, threatening to end until finally someone answered.

"What do you need Robin? You know you have some nerve-" I heard the figure on the other side of the screen start. Starfire cleared her throat causing the figure to look up from his work.

"Where's Robin? How did you get through to this connection?" he bellowed obviously angry that he had been bothered.

"Um…" I started scratching my neck nervously. "I kind of… hotwired his communicator."

"You what?"

Rea shot me a look. "We are the Teen Titans. Robin is the reason we are contacting you. We found this," Rea held up the small device, "in his room. We determined it was the only way we could contact you."

"I don't have time for this. Tell him to call back later, alone," he emphasized reaching forward.

"Robin's gone."

"What?" He paused, his tone serious. "At approximately what time did you last see him?"

"Well we kind of saw him this morning," I admitted sheepishly.

"It's not that simple," Rea explained.

"Make it."

"Robin disappeared almost four months ago. He reappeared a few weeks after his initial disappearance as the apprentice of a local villain named Slade."

"Transfer me all your files," he ordered.

"Then what do we do?"

"I'll be there within a day or two. Standby until then." He ended the transition. The screen went black once again leaving only the Dark Knight's symbol.

"Now what do we do?"

"We wait," Rea answered walking over to the couch where her book was sitting.
