I don't own TT. Just Lena.
Thanks for all the support :)
Robin's POV
I threw a punch at the punching bag. First, Slade forces me to be his apprentice in order to save my friends. I punched the punching bag with my other hand. Then, he has Terra betray us. I kicked the punching bag. If that wasn't enough, he became a servant of Trigon and ruthlessly chased after Raven, making her believe there was no avoiding the prophecy. I kicked it with my other leg. Now, I find out that he killed Lena's parents. I rapidly threw one punch after another at the punching bag.
"ARGH!" I yelled in anger while giving a punch so hard, that the punching bag came off its chain and fell to the floor. Breathing heavily, I went to my water bottle nearby on the ground and picked it up. I took several gulps and then I took a deep breath. Slade, once I find you, you will pay.
"Robin? Are you alright?" asked a concerned voice behind me. I turned around and saw Starfire hovering by the doorway. I wish I could tell her, but the less people who know about it, the less chance Lena will find out. And she can't find out.
"Yeah. How's Lena?" I asked. Starfire sighed.
"She still had a nightmare last night. But after she woke up, she became calmer quicker than usual," she said hopefully. I breathed a tiny sigh of relief as I retrieved my towel from the towel rack. I had hoped that she would stop having them if she mediated with Raven, but it does seem like she is making progress. That's something to be thankful for.
"The mediation sessions are working then," I replied.
"Yes, I am grateful for that, but…" Starfire faltered. I gave her a look of sympathy. I know honey. She is still suffering. And that is thinking that Mr. Wilson is dead. If she found out that he was alive and is actually our arch-nemesis…I am afraid of what her reaction would be. I walked to her and put my hand on her shoulder.
"I know. But with time, she will recover from her traumatic experience. Want to know why?" I asked with a comforting smile. Star's face lit up with hope.
"Because we will be with her every step of the way," she answered happily. I nodded and patted her shoulder. And we will. Lena is our friend. And she is a Teen Titan now. We won't desert our teammate and friend. I smiled at the memory of Lena being officially inducted into the Teen Titans. Right after we ate lunch, Cyborg nudged me and with a secretive smile, handed me Lena's communicator under the table. I then I told everyone that I had an announcement as I walked around the table. I then held out Lena's communicator and asked her if she wanted to join the Teen Titans. With tears in her eyes and a huge smile on her face, she said yes and accepted the communicator. Starfire then took out the big chocolate cake that she hid in the kitchen. After all of us ate at least two pieces, BB accidently flicked chocolate cake at Cyborg. This resulted in the messiest and best chocolate cake fight in the world. We all had fun but considering how much Lena laughed, I think she had the most fun. Returning back to the present, I patted Starfire's shoulder and kissed her cheek.
"Since it is almost lunchtime, why don't we go out and eat some pizza?" I offered.
"The whole team or just the two of us?" she asked. I offered Star my arm.
"Just the two of us," I replied. Her face beamed with happiness as she took my arm. As we walked out of the room, I remembered something.
"I have to go to the bathroom first though to wash up," I said.
"Good. I did not want to say, but your sweat and your smell were getting to me," she agreed. I laughed.
"Becoming entranced with my smell huh?" I teased as we arrived at the bathroom door. Star wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Not in a good way," she replied. I chuckled as I went into the bathroom. Once inside and I began my after-work out-hygiene-ritual, my mind unfortunately went to somber thoughts. Lena is happy now, but what about when we find Slade? And we will find him, or worse he will come back and fight us. How can we hide that Mr. Wilson is alive and is actually Slade from Lena then? And we need to hide the truth from her, or her nightmares will get worse and she will be terrified all the time. After I was done freshening up, I left the bathroom to find Star waiting for me.
"I'm ready now," I told her. Starfire leaned in next to me and sniffed.
"Yes, your smell is pleasant now. Let us go!" she said happily.
"We probably should tell the others where we're going," I said.
"Of course! Let us tell our friends so that they will not worry about us!" she agreed. I smiled with happiness as we walked towards the living room. Man, I'm so glad that we're going on a date right now. I need the distraction. And it's been awhile since Star and I have had some quality time alone together. We then walked into the living room, where we saw Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Lena playing video games while Raven quietly read her book. Barry and Sparkles were chirping excitedly as the players moved their cars closer to the finish line.
"I'm going to win!" taunted Beast Boy as a green car on the screen pulled ahead of two other cars.
"No I am!" shot back Cyborg as a blue car pulled ahead of the green car. Then the finish line appeared and a yellow car speed past the other two cars and crossed the finish line first.
"Thank you gentlemen for letting the lady go first," teased Lena. I chuckled a bit. Lena sure has change these last two weeks. She's gone from a shy girl to a confident, cheerful, and fun-loving one. This is the reason why she can't know the truth. It'll kill her.
"Friends! Robin and I are going on a date so do not worry about us!" cried out Starfire. The others turned around and when they saw us, they smiled.
"Okay. Have fun you two!" replied Lena cheerfully.
"Yeah, have a great time on your date. I'm sure we can hold the fort here," added Cyborg.
"See ya!" cried Beast Boy, waving his hand.
"What they said," said Raven.
"Okay, bye friends!" cried Starfire as she pulled me away and towards the garage. When we entered the garage, we got on my motorcycle and left the tower. On the way to our favorite pizza place, I took a deep breath and pushed my worries to the back of my head. I will find a way to stop Slade while making sure Lena doesn't know the truth. But I'm not going to worry about that right now. I'm going to enjoy my date with Starfire. Then we arrived at the pizza place and I parked my motorcycle. I got off first and lifted Starfire off the motorcycle.
"Well, here we are," I said.
"So you two are finally dating," said a sinister voice behind me. My heart skipped a beat in shock. My blood turned to ice. No…No…I turned around and saw him. Slade smiled.
"Miss me?" he said.
