All for the love of a bird
Robin was helped off of a jet only two hours later "he's in this building" James explained, still walking with him "behind a thick wall of glass, he thinks he's in a war right now, world war two, to be exact. The medication we are trying to administer will break him of this, if only we can get close enough without being… killed." Robin nodded "I can try…"
When they got there, Slade was trying to break free of the thick glass, screaming in Russian.
Robin slowly walked in through the door behind him "…Slade?" The older man rounded on him, glaring "what do you want?" he stepped forward, glaring. Robin swallowed "It's me… Robin, your lover."
Slade charged at him, ready to attack. Robin just stood there "Slade, please." He was cut off by Slade's fist ramming into his gut, then another fist coming to meet his jaw. He flipped in the air, dodging every next move. Then landed behind Slade and stabbed the medication into Slade's back. Slade turned around; growling, then his eye softened "Robin?" he passed out.
Robin caught him, but he was a little heavy, so he slid to the floor, holding him close "oh, Slade… Will he be ok?" he asked as James walked in "we think so." He nodded "it was my fault, I'm sorry; I was tapping into his anger, what caused it, and how he could control it. Basically prodding his tainted cells, to see what makes him tick. Then he woke up and attacked me." Robin nodded and put a hand to James's bloody head "it looks painful." James laughed softly and put a hand over his "it doesn't hurt, really." Suddenly Slade woke, then glared and yanked Robin away from James, growling low in his throat.
Robin turned and wrapped his arms around Slade "are you alright now…?" Slade only nodded, still glaring at James "keep your hands off of Robin." The hero shook his head "I was only looking at the wound you gave him, Slade, calm down!" Slade sighed, letting his anger go "I'm sorry…. just protective." James nodded and went back to his computer "I did some research on your cells, the medication we gave you won't suffice… it will only band aid it for a short while." He went into his nerd-speak, completely losing Robin. Slade saw the blank look on his lover's face. Then laughed as soon as James was done talking "what he's saying is that I won't get better this round either. And their giving you tranquilizers in case of emergency; I suggest you keep one on you at all times.
Robin nodded "you got it." he softly kissed Slade's cheek, smiling as Slade's hand stroked up and down his arm "we should get back. Thank you James, we'll be leaving now."
James sighed "alright, rest for at least three days, no overdoing it for at least a week. Now, off with you." He smiled. Robin helped a rather weak and limping Slade into an aircraft before buckling himself in.

Red was sitting in the middle of the living room, his head in his hands
Raven looked at him and sighed, Bb looked around "so… what do we do now?"
Red pushed himself off of the couch "we do nothing. He won. Slade won, alright?" Everyone looked at him, and Raven's eyes drifted to the ground, she nodded slowly "Robin is gone now, and we still have work to do. Red X is right, we will have to go on without our friend, and remember who we are. We are still the teen titans."
Red walked out "and I'm still alone." He whispered as he close the door behind him, then walked to his grave and cried tears so pure and cold, not even the weeping stone Angel that morned from above him could compare.
And for all to know,
And for all to have heard,
Time is lost,
Lives are lost,
All for the love of one bird.
