"Titans. Go!" Robin exclaimed as he faced his sworn enemy. He watched as all his teammates appeared from behind him to try and defeat Slade.
Robin knew his rage always got the better of him during an encounter with Slade. He tried his hardest to hold back, in fear of putting the life of an innocent bystander in danger as he had done several times before.
*Flashback*
"Slade, I demand to know what you are up to!" Robin scowled
"Robin, if I told you what I was doing, what fun would it be for you." Slade said in his voice of bittersweet pleasure.
Robin panicked. Slade always seemed to be watching him. Knowing where he was at any given moment. He always knew what Robin was doing. The idea paranoid Robin to no end.
"Slade, tell me what you are planning, or I'll..." he paused for a moment to grab an innocent passer by, "I'll kill this innocent man."
"Oh Robin, you become more and more like me every time we meet. If only you could see it." And like that, Slade disappeared.
Robin yelled in aggravation and fell to his knees. He unknowingly brought the young man down with him, and when bashing his fists through the cement, he managed to break the mans skin.
He realized he had done something unspeakable upon hearing the cries of the young man. He rapidly released the poor boy and ran away, not to be seen for several days.
*end of flashback*
As much as Robin tried to resist the urge to join in on the action, his frustration always seemed to get the best of him. After only 2 minutes of sitting out, he joined in. He charged immediately toward Slade. Being a master of intelligence, Slade saw the oncoming teenager and swiftly sent him flying at least a half mile away. With his attention turned back to the remaining titans, Slade focused on sending each of them in Robins direction.
It took Robin only 3 minutes to return to the battle. He took advantage of the fact Slade had let his guard down. By the time Slade realized Robin returned, he was already pinned under Robins boot. Robin scowled, "Tell me what you're plan is." Slade looked up at him, knocked him over, and was gone within moments.
Robin screamed in frustration. Every time Robin thought he was on top, he was brought him back down. He stood up and chased after Slade.
"Go back to the tower, I can handle this," Robin shouted at his friends as he ran away from them.
Starfire sighed, "Why does Robin always think he can handle Slade on his own?"
"He's persistent. And stubborn." Raven explained.
"Should we follow him?" Beast Boy asked
"No, I believe it is best to just let him become cold."
"You mean cool down"
"Oh yes. My apologies." They headed back to the tower, one Titan short.
Robin managed to catch up to Slade and followed him into an abandoned cinema center, "Slade. Show yourself."
"Robin, I am all around you." Slade's voice echoed throughout the theater.
"Come out and fight, coward."
"If you insist," Slade's figure appeared from behind Robin. Robin swiftly avoided Slade's kick, but was unfortunately not so lucky the second time. Slade's kick to the abdomen sent Robin flying through an old projection screen into a concrete wall.
Now weakened from the collision, he stood up, stumbled a bit, and charged into Slade. Slade grabbed his wrist and twisted it into his back.
"Do you surrender yet, Robin?" Slade whispered into his ear.
"Never!" Robin shouted trying to break free of Slade's grasp.
"Very well," Slade sighed pinning Robin to the floor.
Robin winced in pain, but miraculously collected enough strength to kick Slade's face. Robin had just enough time to make it on his feet. He quickly roundhouse kicked Slade before he could make move.
Slade readjusted his armor and threw Robin onto the ground. Robin, not being able to take much more defeat, gave it one last go. He stood up and threw his last punch with all the strength he had left. It was enough to send Slade into a nearby exit door, making it simple for him to quickly escape.
"Until next time, Robin. You may want to work on your hand-to-hand combat." Robin heard Slade say as he departed the scene.
Robin, more frustrated than ever before, quickly and quietly made his way back to the tower.
"Robin, I am so pleased to see you" Starfire smiled as he entered the door to the main room.
He ignored her, making his way to the computers. He spent the next several hours searching for any trace of Slade in their city.
"Man, you have been on there for hours. Why not take a break and relax." Cyborg asked
"I can't just take a break. The entire city depends on me to keep them safe. I can't disappoint." Robin shouted.
"Robin, you look terrible. You need to relax. You need to rest. You spend too much time on the computer." Starfire said concerned.
"Star, I'm fine. I need to find Slade, and stop whatever he's started." Robin retorted.
The rest of the titans decided it best to leave their leader alone. They headed off to their rooms for the remainder of the evening.
Around midnight, Robin ended his search for the night and went off to his room. He searched for clues in all of his papers as to what Slade's plan is. He eventually gave up and tried to get some rest.
Slade's words echoed in his mind: "you may want to work on your hand-to-hand combat." Robin tossed and turned in his bed. He shot out if his bed and out of his room.
Starfire awoke to the sound of knocking at her door. She lazily rolled out of her bed to answer the door, "Robin, it is late. I was asleep. What is wrong?"
"Star, so you want to practice hand-to-hand combat with me?!
"Robin, it is two hours past a new day. Why do you wish to train now?" Starfire rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"I'm just full if energy. I want to train. And I was hoping you would join me," he blushed slightly.
Starfire contemplated for a moment, "I suppose, maybe just one competition." She smiled, "I declare it a race to the weight lifting room." She flew off and down the tower.
While Robin prepared himself for battle, Starfire stared at him. She could not understand why he wanted to practice so late at night.
"Are you ready, Starfire?" He asked
"Yes, I suppose I am." She sighed standing up
"Don't hold back." He stated running towards her.
Their battle continued for another 30 long minutes of them trying to destroy each other. Robin managed to get in a decent kick to the jaw. Starfire, losing control of her temper, blasted Robin straight into his rack of weights. The weights fell onto him and crushed his right leg.
Robin shouted out in pain. Starfire quickly floated over to him and tore the weights off his body, "Robin, you are hurt?" She worried.
"Star, I'm fine. Its just a few bruises." He said trying to stand up. As soon as he got on his feet, he fell onto his rear again. Starfire helped him onto his feet and offered herself as a balance.
"Starfire, I appreciate your concern, but I'm fine. I just need to walk it off." He said taking a step forward. He stumbled for the second time, nut Starfire was quick to catch him before he fell again, "Robin, you are not okay. Please be honest. If you are in pain, you must tell me." She cried.
"Starfire," he winced in pain, "wake the others."
"I cannot leave you here all alone. You could fall another time and maybe break another bone," she said with tears streaming from her eyes.
"My bone isn't broken Starfire. I told you it is only a bruise." He tried to convince her, and himself.
"Very well, I will awaken the other, after setting you off in the infirmary" she picked him up and carried him to the towers infirmary.
She left him alone to wake the remaining titans. She explained all of what happened and how Robin denies there is anything truly wrong with him.
"Where is he?" Cyborg asked
"I left him in the infirmary. He is awaiting our arrival." She led them all to Robin.
They entered the infirmary and greeted Robin. "Star told us what happened, man," Beast Boy stated sympathetically.
"There is nothing wrong with my leg. It's just a bruise. I have to walk it off. It will be better in the morning." Robin insisted.
"Robin, I can read inside your mind. I know that you know it's more serious than that. I can feel your pain. Just admit you're hurt and stop acting like a child." Raven demanded.
Robin sighed, "is there anything you can do, Raven?"
"I can try,' she stated questionably. She tried several spells to attempt to heal his leg. After several failed attempts, she gave up, "I'm sorry, Robin. There is nothing more I can do."
Robin cringed at the words, "There has to be something! I can't just break my leg. I have to defend the city. I have to stop Slade. I have to-" he rambled on.
"All you have to do is get a cast on that leg." Cyborg pointed to his damaged leg.
"Would you like me to accompany you to the hospital? It would be most reassuring if you did not travel alone." Starfire added.
"I guess you can come along, Star." Robin shrugged.
"Wonderful! We will be on our way in any moment." She shouted excitedly.
"The rest of you, get back to sleep. We have a lot if work to do in the morning." Robin demanded.
Starfire rapidly flew him to the jump city hospital and entered the emergency room, "Excuse me," she tried to get the attention of the woman at the front desk. She appeared to be young, dainty, and overly flamboyant.
"How may I help you, ma'am?" She asked, still typing in her computer
"My friends is terribly injured, can anyone help him?" she asked.
"What seems to be his problem," her voice sounded uncaring.
"He has broken his leg."
"What's his name?" She asked
"Robin." Starfire mentioned
"That's not a real name, what is your real name young -" she paused after seeing who she was assisting, "oh, I'm terribly sorry, Robin. I'll have someone tend to your wounds immediately."
"Thanks, I appreciate it." Robin smiled.
"Not a problem sweetie" she said as she ran off to find an available doctor.
"That was, odd, was it not." Starfire asked.
"Hospitals are just odd places," Robin answered.
"Well, the sooner we get out of here, the happier I will be." Starfire shuttered.
"You don't have to stay with me, I'll be fine on my own."
"I wish to stay. I am to blame for your injury," she frowned.
"It's not your fault. I never should have asked you to train with me in such a tired state." He picked up her chin and smiled at her.
Moments later, a nurse rolled out a wheel chair for Robin to sit in. "This is degrading," Robin mumbled as he was rolled deeper into the hospital. Starfire followed behind them.
Within the next two hours, Robin had gotten several X-rays, a cast, crutches, and instructions on how to care for his injury.
They returned to titans tower before 5 o'clock. Their friends were all waiting for him in the main room.
"I told you all to go back to sleep." Robin said as he made his way into the room.
"Who could sleep, are you okay?" Beast Boy asked.
"Does it look like I'm okay! I'm on crutches. I can't possibly save the city from Slade's destruction like this. Slade will bring the entire city to an end by the time I can fully walk again." Robin shouted in aggravation.
"Do you not remember what Larry had told you, 'no matter what, you always try.' You were victorious then, why can you not be victorious again." Starfire pleaded.
"This is different, that was only a fracture. I'm leg is broken. I can't even walk without assistance now. It's over for me, Star. I'm done." He stood up, "If you need me, I'll be in my room." He said as he left the main room.
"Friends, I am afraid Robin will not fully recover from this most tragic of accidents." She sighed sitting down on the sofa with the remaining titans.
"Eh, he'll be okay. He's Robin. He's the boy wonder. He will be himself by the end of the week." Beast Boy smirked, "I'm sure of it." He said placing a reassuring hand on Starfire's shoulder.
