Chapter 25: Sacrifices

Robin came to a sudden halt when he was in front of the doors to the Main Room. He had come all the way to the place they had started? Was Raven truly on the other side of the door?

A blood – curling scream answered his question.

He quickly raced to the door and pressed the button without thinking. Of course it didn't open and he sighed. He tried to pry it open with his hands to no avail. But he had to keep trying… he just had to. It was Raven's life on the line here. So he summoned all his strength and with a final wrench the doors pried open and he stumbled into the Main Room, growling when he saw them.

There Slade stood right in front of the back of the couch, holding Raven in his arms. He could see her struggling under his arms he had around her neck and waist to no avail. Just the sight of the fiend sent Robin's temper soaring.

"Slade, what the hell do you think you're -" Robin hissed as he began to walk into the room towards him and Raven, but was stopped mid sentence when he saw Slade's grip on Raven tighten. "Doing?"

Slade seemed to be smiling beneath his mask. "Move and I kill her, Robin."

Robin stopped moving once more, now about 15 feet away. He made eye contact with Raven and saw the terror in her eyes, the fear. He pleaded with his own to her that he was sorry and that everything would be ok. He hoped she understood.

"Leave her out of this Slade, if you want me then lets settle this the right way. With Raven unscathed." Robin told him flat out, his blue eyes glaring at the villain now. Slade seemed to think this over before answering.

"Then it's settled." Slade said to them both. He flung Raven behind him. She ended up hitting her back against the sofa before slumping down onto the floor, her head between her knees. She groaned in pain before looking up to see Robin rushing over to her.

"Are you alright? Has he hurt you?" Robin whispered once he was over to her, kneeling beside her. Tears burned behind her eyes and Robin saw this.

"No…" she whispered in a reply. "You… you came back."

"Of course I did." He said, stroking her hair quickly before standing up and facing Slade. "Alright then. We fight and Raven doesn't get hurt at all."

"Whatever you say Robin." Slade answered before charging at him. The two quickly commenced into battle. All Raven could do was watch in absolute horror and hope for the best.

It had been about 10 minutes later and still nothing had happened between the two. It had been pretty even the whole time, neither getting tired yet and neither giving up. Raven bit her lip the whole time she was watching this, trying not to scream out for Robin to stop. This was too hard to watch.

'For the love of Azar why did this have to happen? There has to be some other way… something I can do! But what…' Raven thought as she finally tore her eyes off the two men in front of her and to the other side of the room.

'You know what you have to do!' came a sudden and familiar voice into her head. She gasped, thinking again in her mind.

'Love!? What's going on, why are you here? And what do you mean I know?' she questioned the emotion.

'I'm trying to help you, even though you already know what you should do. I've told you all along really… even Intelligence tried!' Love shouted at her. Raven's brows knitted up in confusion.

'What are you talking about?' she asked. Love sighed.

'It's so obvious, Rae. I can't believe you don't get this. I guess when the time comes you'll just do it.' Love said before disappearing. Raven was about to protest her going but shut her mouth and sighed. This was getting all too frustrating.

She turned back to the fight being displayed before her. She gritted her teeth together when she saw them. Robin was slowing down now, getting tired. So these were Slade's intention, to just tire Robin out and toy with him before finally kicking it into high gear. Raven wanted to smack the villain right out of his boots.

"Robin, you've got to stop!" Raven shouted finally from her same spot in front of the sofa's back. Robin quickly whipped his head to look at her, their eyes connecting for a split second.

"Don't look at her." Slade barked. Robin's eyes snapped back to Slade. "You glance at her once more and I'll make sure to end her existence first. Right in front of you, slow and painfully."

Robin's mouth was a hard line, and his eyes never left Slade's face as they now circled each other. Raven saw that Slade was getting tired of their little game and now wanted to end this quickly. She had no idea of what he wanted to do, what kind of tactic he would use. She had no way of helping Robin at all.

Suddenly a couple minutes later, Slade punch him across the face hard, causing Robin to get unbalanced a bit. Slade quickly took this window of opportunity and elbowed him in the gut, sending him back a ways but not causing him to fall completely as he kneeled on the ground, holding his stomach. Slade grinned and walked to him till he was a mere 5 feet away.

"Time to end this Boy Wonder." He sneered. Raven gasped before quickly covering her mouth.

Slade swiftly took out what looked to be a laser gun and aimed it at Robin. Before shooting him though he took a quick glance at Raven, probably smiling under his mask at his triumph, and back to Robin. He shot it out at him and a red light hit him and spread throughout his whole body, almost looking like it was electrocuting him but much stronger. He cried out in pain and Raven's eyes grew wide. How could Slade do this! No! He had to stop!

"Slade quit it!" she cried out. But the villain ignored her. A couple seconds later he stopped it and put the gun away. He watched the unmoving Boy Wonder and he chuckled.

"That outta stop his heart for good." He said with a low laugh. Raven gasped again as she ran over to the unmoving leader and in front of Slade, glaring at him with remarkable courage.

"You ass!" was all she could manage without breaking down. Slade chuckled.

"See you around Raven… I'm sure of that…" he said before turning and walking away. Raven wanted to pursue him, to tear him apart. But then she remembered Robin and put her rage aside. She had to help him.

"Robin!" she quickly shouted as she went back and kneeled next to him. She put a hand onto his chest to see if he still had a pulse and it was very faint.

Robin opened his eyes at the sound of her voice and smiled up at her weakly. "Rae, I… I'm sorry." He whispered. Raven shook her head.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." She responded in the same voice. "I should be apologizing… for everything that's happened to you. I'm so sorry Robin you shouldn't be like this. I have to get help."

Raven began to get up but Robin caught her wrist and stopped her, bringing her back down beside him. "Don't leave Raven." He pleaded. "You can't help me, I can feel it. There's nothing anybody can do, so just stay with me for now."

Raven's eyes burned with tears as she held them back. "Don't talk like that!" she hissed, putting her hand on the side of his face. "You'll make it Robin!"

"Raven, just promise me you won't get yourself hurt in here. Wait till the other Titans come…"

"Robin, stop it!" Raven shouted, finally crying. Tears ran down her cheeks. She picked up his upper half and cradled his head into her chest, stroking his hair and trying to quiet her now sobs. "I can't lose you Robin."

"Raven, please don't get so bent out of shape." Robin continued to whisper. Raven shook her head back and forth, pressing her face on the top of his head.

"Robin you don't get it!" she cried, pulling his face away to look at him. "You just can't die and leave me you just can't! I wouldn't be able to live!"

"Ok, now you're just exaggerating." He said with a roll of his perfect blue eyes.

"Robin! Please don't talk like that I need you! You can't die on me now!" she cried, looking at his eyes with her watery violet ones. She could feel her heart panging with pain. "I love you!!"

At this Robin's dull eyes suddenly perked up and he smiled up at her, his eyes shining.

"You always did, didn't you?" he asked. Raven nodded solemnly.

"I do love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." he replied, mimicking her action and putting his hand on her face as well. He pulled her head down and she brought her lips to his, kissing him lightly on his lips. Before she could continue it though she felt him gasp out and she felt his last dying breath. She pulled away and looked at his face and she crumpled. He was gone.

She looked at his face; his eyes still open staring up at her. Her sobs came out now fully and she used her index finger and middle finger to slowly and carefully closed them shut.

She now felt empty. Just like his eyes. The shininess had gone with him.

She clutched the dead body of her leader to her and cried some more on his cold bare chest.

Suddenly she heard a noise coming from behind her and she turned to see Slade approaching. She clutched Robin's body tighter and sobbed some more. But Slade wasn't alone.

With him were all the villains she and Robin had faced. They made a circle around her. She could pick out Michael Myers, The Grudge, Freddy, Jason, Poison Ivy, Dracula and Bloody Mary in the group. There were many other faces she could tell as well and bit her bottom lip. She was doomed.

She hid her face in Robin's chest and gritted her teeth together. She felt something inside of her suddenly that pulled at her, a force. She concentrated on that and let it overcome her. Her eyes turned white, the power surging through her going through Robin quickly before returning to her and then she looked up at all of the villains.

She gave out a blood – curling scream and the power emitted at them all. It engulfed them and they suddenly disappeared. The power returned back to Raven and she felt extremely tired. She collapsed on top of Robin and everything went black, her heart stopping.
