Robin sat in the mud, still staring at the dead body of Ashly. Blood still pouring out of her head, infecting his arms, hands, legs, feet, chest and body with the redness.

Robin looked down at his chest and felt his heart leap into his mouth. A plain dagger was impaled in his chest. Blood was seeping out of it, the cold, hard metal turning the inside of his chest into ice and stone.

Robin applied pressure to the dagger wound, he knew it was dangerous to remove the dagger. He had to wait for his friends to arrive and he knew that Raven or even Phoenix would be able to help heal him.

Robin was bawling, tears cascading down his face. His hair and face were flooding with sweat. His eyes were still adjusting to the sudden brightness.

The pain in his eyes, the pain in his chest was nothing, nothing, compared to the emotional pain that he is feeling. His mind was only replying one thing and one thing only.

He had just killed someone.

Not just someone, his own daughter.

He, Robin, Dick Grayson, had just killed someone.

His mind went berserk, going crazy, going in many directions. He looked down at his hands that were stained, coated, covered in blood. Robin wanted to rip them off, to tear them out, never harm another human being ever again!

He looked down at Ashly's body that seemed to be taunting him, making fun of him even in death. It was then when he realised that Ashly had won. There was no other way. If she won he would be used by her like a puppet.

If he won and ended up killing her, he broke his number one rule. Never kill a human being. Never take a human life. Even when looking at the devil in the eye, never compromise, never cross the line, there is always another way.

Something inside Robin told him that even if he had knocked her out, Robin knew that she will still pursue him, and the cycle will still continue.

Either way, Ashly still got what she wanted. Revenge on her father.

He closed his eyes and manoeuvred his arm to whip the tears, sweat and blood from his face.

He looked up and felt himself scream as he saw a figure standing over him.

Himself.

The Other Robin looked extremely distorted, he had a head that was too big, lips that were too fat and too thin, shark-like teeth, an oversized nose, a body that was smaller than his head, arms that were too long, legs that were too short and he was wearing a Robin costume that had an oversized 'R' on it.

"You have survived worse." The Other Robin sneered at Robin

Robin opened his mouth, trying to talk, but all that can come out was a pathetic groan.

"This isn't about your pathetic little cut, your pathetic little cut." The Other Robin said "It's about that girl that you have killed."

Robin stared up at the Other Robin as he walked up to him so that his face was directly in front of him "We never killed a human before had we?" He paused as he made a grotesque smile to rival the Joker "Sure...that incident in Tokyo doesn't really count...nor your bloodthirsty angsty self in that other universe...sure...we killed many demons before, and we have knocked out many goons and all that...this...this was the first human being...real flesh and blood!"

The figure of the Other Robin suddenly shimmered like a rock dropped into a pond, until the form of Tony Zucco replaced him.

"...And your own daughter at that." Tony Zucco said with a malicious smile "...Your own daughter...Your own flesh and blood..."

Robin groaned again as Tony continued "...you say that you will never kill anyone...look at you...pathetic...you can't tell the difference between an axe and your own bo staff! That is so pathetic! So comical!"

The form of Tony lifted his head up into the air and laughed maniacally in the air as his form shimmered again to be replaced by Batman.

Robin stared at Batman, and Batman stared back at Robin. Robin wanted Batman to yell at him, to shout, to attack him but the form of Batman might as well be a statue as all he did was look down at the dead body of Ashly.

"Dad…" Robin cried but Batman didn't respond. All he did was remain perfectly still

"Dad...please…" Robin said again "It...it...it wasn't my fault! I...I...I didn't mean to! It...It...It was an accident! I was...I being strangled...and...and...I thought I got by Bo Staff...and...and...and...It's all my fault...all my fault...all my fault…" Robin wept as he felt himself falling down...down...down...into darkness.

"Is he going to be alright?" A voice said.

"I don't know." Another voice said "His stab wound was easy to heal and all that. But I can sense something that I can't fix."

"What do you mean!?" Another voice hollered "What do you mean that…"

"I meant!" The previous voice roared "That it is a physiological thing!"

"Oh...sorry" The voice said weakly

Robin opened his eyes. He was lying on a soft surface, wrapped up in thick blankets. He looked up to see all the Titans including Old Man Beast Boy and Phoenix staring at him, sorrow painted in almost all of their faces.

"Wh...Where am I?" Robin cried

"Robin!" Starfire cried as she threw him a rib crushing hug and a neck-snapping kiss which Robin accepted.

"Your in an RV." Old Man Beast Boy said bluntly "We have just left Salt Lake City an hour ago, and Phoenix suggested that we should go to Constantine, and since we have nowhere else to go, I see that we have no other option."

"We saw what happened to you bro." Beast Boy said throwing Robin a hug "We...we can't believe it…"

"Neither do we…" Cyborg and Raven said simultaneously

"...Yeah...I know…" Robin said "I still can;t believe it...I just killed someone...and...and...I...I…" Then he burst into tears "I….I...I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!" he bellowed as he buried his hands into his face.

"Freind Robin!" Starfire cried "Don't be like that!"

"I just killed someone!" Robin cried "I HAVE JUST KILLED MY OWN DAUGHTER! I...I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!"

"Freind Robin…" Starfire said "...Please calm down...you are going to be alright."

"NO!" Robin cried "NO! NO! I AM NOT OKAY! I HAVE JUST BROKEN MY OWN RULE! I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!"

"We can help you Friend Robin!" Starfire cried

"NO!" Robin wept "You can't! You don;t understand how it feels! You…"

But Robin was interrupted by Old Man Beast Boy who slapped him in the face immediately silencing Robin.

"Stop your whining and listen to me!" Old Man Beast Boy growled "You think your the only one here who had killed someone that they love!? Well boo hoo! Look at me! I have killed all my friends, so don't tell me how it feels! I already know!"

Robin stared at Old Man Beast Boy and felt immediately awkward, unsure on what to feel. "But the one mistake that you are doing is pushing people away! I didn't have that luxury the night I killed the Titans! But you do!"

"What are you saying?" Robin said

"Just talk to the people that you love!" Old Man Beast Boy cried thrusting his arms into the air as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I can't take back what had happened in the area. What is done is done...I am sorry that you have broken your one rule...I truly am...but we need to move on, and you need to talk to your friends…"

Old Man Beast Boy faced Robin "If you ever want to talk to someone who had accidentally killed someone that they, or should care about. I am always open."

Then he turned and walked away.

Robin looked down at his hands. His mind was utterly blank. He looked up at his friends. Starfire. Cyborg. Raven. Beast Boy. Robin knew that what he had done cannot be fixed, he knew that all too well, and Old Man Beast Boy had made that clear.

"I...I want to talk to Starfire...and Phoenix...alone" Robin said. He didn't know why he wanted to talk to Starfire, but something inside of him told him that Starfire should be the first person that he should talk to, he wasn't sure what Phoenix had to offer, but he needed someone else who is experienced in this future.

"Sure thing buddy." Beast Boy said as he, Raven and Cyborg left Robin and Starfire alone.

"Robin…" Phoenix said sadly looking down at Robin "...How are you feeling?"

"Tired…" Robin said weakly "But my mind is chaotic."

"I can tell" Phoenix said

"It's...It's...It's just...I don't know how to feel…" Robin said

"I know Freind Robin" Starfire said "We saw everything…"

"It was an accident," Phoenix said. "A dreadful accident, but you were only defending yourself"

Robin didn't know what to say. All he can do was hug his legs as he rocked back and forth on his bed. Trying to soothe his chaotic thoughts.

He had broken his number one rule, killed his own daughter and yet...what did he know about her?

Yes, she was insane. Yes, she was cruel. Yet she was doing what she thought was the right thing to do. She was trying to make her area a better place. The only problem was it came at the cost of thousands if not millions of lives.

He didn't know if he did the right thing or the wrong thing and he expressed this to Starfire and Phoenix. Unleashing everything in his mind in one simple sentence.

"Did she deserve to die?"

Both of whom took their time to answer. It was Starfire that answered first.

"Freind Robin." Starfire began "Nobody deserves to die...what you did was an accident and…"

"Starfire." Robin said strunly "You know what she is like. I am asking you, did she deserve to die?"

Starfire paused, Then she looked up at Robin and said "No, Robin. No, she didn't"

"I'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you Starfire." Phoenix said "She had a noble goal, yes, but her methods are questionable. So yes, she deserved to die. There is no other way now."

He stood up and faced Robin "I am sorry that you had to kill someone and all that. I truly am, but as we have said to you, times have changed, and it is inevitable that something like this will happen, and I am sorry to say that it was you."

He then turned to face Starfire "I don't know how I can help you, but all I can share is this. There is no right or wrong. No black and white. Only grey. You saved your own life. Too bad it came at the cost of someone else's."

He then turned to Starfire "Do take care of him Starfire." He said softly "He doesn't deserve you. But at times of need, you need your friends at your side. Dad lost his. I lost mines. But you still have yours. You need them, and you must accept their help, and you must ask them for it."

Robin looked at Phoenix, then looked at Starfire, then looked at his hands, then back at Phoenix, then back at Starfire, then back at his hands. Then he threw Starfire a tight embrace, feeling her warmth against him. He felt tears fall down from his face as he felt himself falling down into sleep as his exhaustion carried him away.

A/N: I am not sure if this chapter is good enough but here it is. This is the end of Act 1, which is primarily focusing on Robin and I am now going to Act 2 which is about Starfire, but before that the Titan's will face Evil Cyborg! in the next chapter.

Please review and I will update this as soon as I can, thank you!
