"So what exactly are we looking for in his room Raven?" Beast boy asked, flipping over Robin's bed spread and mattress for any sign of clues to where he was.
"Anything to lead us to him. Remember that your motivation is, Robin is being forced into something that he doesn't want, and we have to help him before he gets seriously hurt. And Starfire needs our help to remember!" Raven said, moving books and picture frames.
"Slade has gone way to far this time!" Cyborg said, smashing down a book that read: 'Master Shimu's arts of Karate volume four'. "I mean, can't he just understand that Robin wants nothing to do with him and that he, he, hey guys I think I've found something."
Raven and Beast boy walked hurriedly over to the half robot and stared at the picture frame of Starfire and Robin. "Picture frame Cyborg, how nice." Beast boy said sarcastically. He walked over to Robin's bed and sat.
"No I mean there is something behind it." Pushing the small red button, everything turned over, including the bed that Beast boy sat on. Beast boy was swallowed and spit back out as a flat green table.
"That was wicked!" He exclaimed. The green dude popped to his normal self and studied the bed turned table. "I wonder why Robin never told us about this," At that moment, he accidentally pushed over Robin's bird-a-rangs that lay forgotten on the side and they smashed to the ground.
Raven walked over to him and studied the table as Beast boy sweat dropped. "Gee, I wonder why." She said sarcastically.
"Hey guys come look at this!" Cyborg said amazed. Beast boy frowned and crossed his arms in a pouty way.
"Why is he finding all the good stuff?"
"Maybe because he's smarter and more handsome," She teased quietly as they walked to the wall.
"Now you're just trying to make me jealous." He growled playfully. Raven gave him a smirk and turned to Cyborg. "Wow, what has Robin been doing in his spare time?"
"So many headlines! So many questions! All rhetorical ones too! 'Who is Slade.' This boy is obsessed!" Cyborg exclaimed. "I knew Robin had this insane craving for catching the baddies before they caused harm, but I think he let Slade get to him."
"Yep! Beast boy is still good! I found something!" He called. Raven and Cyborg forced their amazed gaze away from the wall of headlines and jogged beside Beast boy who was leaning over stacks of papers by Robin's bedside table.
"What is that?" Cyborg asked, squinting his one eye.
"That looks like scribbling for some sort of letter." Beast boy said, grazing his finger over it softly. It was the dreams that Robin had been writing down when he had a memory.
"Boys, I think I know where Slade is hiding, and I think I know where Robin and Starfire are." Raven said after moments of silence. The boys turned to her and knitted their eyebrows in confusion. Raven held up a drawn map and directions.
"Robin seemed to have cracked the clue, but was taken before he could do anything about it." She said, showing them her evidence. The map seemed to be directing them to the,
"The ocean?"
"No, the forest!" Cyborg argued, turning over the upside down map in Beast boy's hands. Beast boy blushed and then frowned.
"I was right! It is in the ocean!"
"No dumb shit, it's in the forest, leading into the ocean!" Cyborg sighed irritably. Beast boy shoved the map in Cyborg's arms and swatted him away as he walked out the door.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You know I was right."

"Robin, it's me Starfire." She whispered. Silver was glancing around the chamber with hawk eyes and Robin sat up in his bed. Starfire opened the chamber door with Silver's keys and walked in.
"Robin, are you awake?" She paced slowly towards him and sat down on the bed that creaked. She held out an energy ball and put it in his unlit lamp so it shined dimly in the room. Robin was sitting with his hands on his brought up knees glaring at the girl in front of him.
"Robin," She whispered sadly. "Listen, I am sorry if Slade was too hard on you today." Starfire stared contently at the furious boy.
"Right." He said harshly.
"No, I really am. I don't know what's going on between you two and-"
"You're right, you don't! Cause every god damn time I try, you always cut me off!" He interrupted.
"Like your doing now to me!" She got up and swished her arm around in an angry movement. "Listen buddy, and listen good! I don't know who you are, or who really Slade is, but I came down here to apologize, and right now, I could be kicking my heart for feeling pity on such a worthless guy!" She started stomping away, when Robin stopped her.
"Told you your heart would need." He whispered nonchalantly.
She turned to him swiftly. "What?" Starfire growled.
"Need, and feel."
"You are so arrogant! If you think for one moment that I like you, you got another thing coming!" She said in frenzy.
No response came, but leaking water. Starfire could barely make out his face because the light was so dim, but she saw his head drop to his knees, staring ahead of him.
Starfire suddenly felt guilty again and walked towards him slowly. "Okay, I'm sorry for that too. I, well, I just have been having a hard time."
Robin stayed quiet, resting his head on his knees and arms, not daring to look at her. If only she could remember, if there was anything he could do, he would do it.
"Are you going to talk to me, or are you going to ignore me now that I am to blame for downing your high arrogance?" She said softly, not trying once to be rude.
"I'm sorry." He said weakly. Starfire sat next to him and stared into his masked face and knitted her eyebrows in worry. She brought a smooth hand over his soft face and touched lightly at the new wounds.
Robin trembled but stayed still. Starfire's light touch traced the healing wound that she gave him with her heel the first time they fought. "I'm sorry." She muttered quietly, leaning towards him.
Starfire noticed that Robin's face, and even masked eyes were filled with worry and pain. He was so tired and so stressed. Lightly stroking his face with her warm hands, she said to Robin.
"Your mind, with out your friends," She still touched him softly, tracing his wounds. "With out this girl you keep mistaking me for, your stressed." Starfire whispered.
Robin looked up and stared. "You think I mistake you for the girl I keep talking about?"
"Of course, I mean," She looked down sadly. "I don't even know you. Yeah, my name is Starfire, but I don't think I am 'that' Starfire you portray me to be." Star shook her head.
"No, you are. But you just don't know it yet." He said raising his head.
Starfire turned towards the door and whispered even more quietly. "Listen I can't stay long, I think I heard something out there, but I have to ask you some questions."
Robin sat on the bed now with his feet hanging over the mattress. "Yeah?"
"Robin, I've been having 'strange' dreams of, I think you." She admitted. Robin's face brightened slightly and she continued, gnarling her long flowy dress up a bit.
"I don't know if they are memories, or just dreams." She said uncomfortably. "But I've been waking up sweaty and disarranged because of them. Some seem so real, and some seem so cliché that I don't know what to believe. Like tonight! They were so real, I really thought I had been consumed by thick orange goo." She trailed off.
"Apprentice." Robin said remotely. Starfire "Huh?'d" and Robin continued. "Oh, you must have had the memory when I was forced to be Slade's apprentice. I was to kill you, but you stopped me with your words." He choked out.
"Then I am not hallucinating! Slade, that bastard, lied to me! He's been telling me that my dreams were just nightmares created by your friend, I think her name is Crow?"
"Raven." He corrected. Starfire nodded and smiled.
"So, hypothetically speaking, we were, that is if I believe you, friends once before?" She asked sweetly, but confused all the same.
Robin nodded and grinned. "So, you're remembering right?"
"I don't know, I guess, but I don't know." She rubbed her neck and winced. "My neck hurts so bad," She sighed, abrading it.
Robin touched it and she winced again. "It's where he stabbed you with the amnesia needle."
"He, as in Slade?" She asked curiously. Robin nodded.
"Yeah, orange goo to stop your powers for a while, then green liquid filled with memory loss syndrome."
Starfire growled and stood up swiftly. "That bastard!" Silver's head popped out from the side and hushed her.
"M'lady, I think I heard something, is your visit with this boy complete or incomplete?" He asked fearfully. Starfire looked from Robin to Silver and started walking out the door.
"I will be back Robin, or I will see you in the morning, we have to talk!" She glanced at the rushing Silver, but ran over to Robin. Sneakily, she grabbed his hand and kissed his cheek softly. "We will talk." She whispered before taking Silver's hand and dashing out of there.
Robin watched Silver shut the door and run away. Looking into his palm, he found the key to unlock the chamber door, binding him in. "That is one sly girl." He grinned.
A figure was hidden stealthily in the shadows not too far off from Robin's Chamber. The hidden person saw the incident between Robin and Starfire, and she was fuming. Not to mention that Silver robot, he was going to be in for it.
'How dare they go behind Slade's back and enter Robin's room! If I can't go in there, she will definitely not be able to go in!' She thought. A dark grin spread across her lips. "Koriand'r isn't the only who can be sly Robin." She said, before turning to leave, laughing villainous.

"10,845 steps to get to this damn hide out from my damn hide out!" Devion shouted furiously. He swept his long streaky black hair out of his burned eyes and entered the broken down crypt of wood.
Walking in slowly, he noticed that there were seats and tables smashed and even bones from dead animals. Devion scrunched up his nose in disgust and kept walking. Another crypt of wood was hidden under a pile of badger bones, so hell's son whisked them away and pounded it until it broke open.
Entering that long staired down chamber, Devion found himself getting deeper and deeper underground. Slade was a sneaky one; he had under rooms hidden by so many things, like on the wall under a picture, in the fireplaces and under bones.
Devion finally reached the last door, or so he thought. The vine wrapped door was open and he entered it, gasping at the hall's site. It was an underwater hall. The walls were clear and fish were swimming all around it. He could see sharks and eels swimming around the rocks, and even some dolphins.
There was one last door, and it was made of steel. Devion walked over to it and slightly tugged. The door opened, but with a loud creak. Walking sneakily in, Devion found himself in the main hide out of Slade's layer.
*************************************************************
"Master Lucifer, you have a call from our lord." Salazar bowed, holding the horned mirror towards his master. Lucifer frowned at the pathetic demon and snatched the mirror out of his hands.
Salazar started walking off, but his eyes grew wide and stumbled to the floor and bowed once more. "I am sorry sire, I have disrespected you, I will never leave with out your permission oh humbly one!" The demon muttered. Lucifer growled and flicked his wrist.
Salazar went soaring out of the throne and out of Lucifer's sight. "Fool." He whispered, before looking into the mirror. "What is it Lord." He stated, not even bothering to tone it in a question.
"Lucifer, it has came to my acknowledge that Devion is now mortal." God's voice was low and soothing. Lucifer smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Notice did you?" Hell replied smoothly.
"That I did." The lord smiled. "And that is why if one of the titans kill Devion as you say he is now mortal, they will not be banished to hell."
"WHAT!" Lucifer screamed. "You and I both know perfectly well that if one kills another, he or she will be banished from heaven and tortured in hell! Why change the agreement!"
"Because Lucifer, you went against our agreement and made Devion human again to marry the Tamaran exotic Starfire. So since Devion is actually already banished to hell, the teens have no right to not enter heaven once the perish from the earth."
"What is wrong with Devion taking a wife from earth!?" Lucifer growled.
"Have you forgotten that he is your son Lucifer? Do you remember when you became mortal TWICE and impregnated almost 100 women!?" God said fiercely. "You killed 99 of them and their children! 1st was Deedee, and you stayed in earth for almost 17 years before you killed her and Devion.
The one you let escape was Aroree and her mother. And you and I know well that she is half demoness and half vampire! She could be more powerful than Devion if she really wanted to!"
"No she couldn't! Because she is only half of those things! I gave Devion my full power of Hell and no one could beat him because he will one day take over Hell!" Lucifer raged.
"True, but she is almost stronger than him. I am afraid that Devion will follow in your footsteps and do the same thing you did on earth. So if he wants a bride, he will have to take one from hell."
Lucifer chuckled. "Oh but he will, once he kills her! Starfire will become the queen of hell, and Devion will become king! I will not let him make the same mistake I did with Deedee. She will come to hell after she perishes and they will take over. If Devion has to, one day he will kill Aroree, and I will make sure of it."
God shook his head. "Believe what you want Lucifer, but I be damned to hell if Starfire follows down too! But there is no problem, because she will die just like Deedee did, and she will come to heaven."
"You are messing our agreement lord!" Lucifer snarled.
"Correction, you already erred it up. Have a good day Lucifer." God's reflection was now blurred and Lucifer was again throwing the mirror towards the wall.
"Shit! I have to warn Devion!" Lucifer boomed. He sat in his throne chair and rubbed his temples. "This is getting ever so complicated."
*************************************************************
The sunrise had shined on the outside of Slade's layer, but not once shined through the darkness of it. They were underground, near the water and the only thing that made the halls and chambers lit were small candles.
Everyone still seemed to be sleeping, except for those guards who were on patrol of course. The gray robot that was supposed to be watching Robin was out, probably getting into mischief. Robin took the advantage to slip the key in its lock and twist.
The lock unlocked and boy wonder escaped the disgusting chamber he had once slept in. It was probably 6 in the morning, and he had plenty of time to escape. Perhaps he could capture Starfire and free her from Slade's grasp.
Walking stealthily towards the main chambers, Robin walked up like 3 bounds of stairs. 'Damn, can Slade's hide out get any bigger?' He thought nastily.
Finally reaching the main chamber, he noticed that there was a little door that was camouflaged into the metal walls. He opened the little handle that was incrusted into the wall, the door opened, and he walked in.
It was a small room, more like a captain's room on a ship. There was one large window and it had all the under water creatures as its view. A table was in the middle of the room, as well as a comfortable chair. The table, or desk, was stacked with papers and pens. On the walls were headlines and pictures of all the titans.
'Man, and everyone thought I was obsessed.' Robin thought as he walked around the room, observing the headlines. Sitting down on the comfortable chair, Robin started going through the desk's drawers.
Opening the long middle one at his stomach, he found more pens, ink, blank papers and a crumbled up picture. Slowly, Robin took it out and unfolded it. The picture was old and had cracked lines in it. The picture was from his memory.
'Mom, dad, and me.' He thought lightly. 'Why would Slade have a picture of this? How did Slade get this?'
Robin traced the bodies in the picture lightly. He first traced himself as a small child and a big smile, his mom who was in her beautiful long dress and head of curls, and his father, who was in the same tux as Robin. Boy wonder knitted his eyebrows in sorrow and pain. 'Mom.'
Putting the picture in his utility belt pouch, since he changed back into his clothes after Starfire's arrival, he continued on with the searching. Digging into more drawers, he found a headline clipping that was torn in two.
'Continued from page A1.' Robin's eyes widened. This was the paper that was cut out every time he searched for it!
'HEADLINE NEWS
A note to the beginning of the headline! Descrow has escaped after millions of reports on his capture! The genius escaped prison and is now in hiding! No news on where he's hiding at the moment, but we will find him.
(Reporter and writer) – Josh Hinduts'
Robin's jaw dropped. "That's it? He escaped, that's the big mystery?" He said shocked. "What a waste of time!"
Now digging more furiously, Robin picked up a little something on the last drawer. It was another headline, except actually this time it was cut perfectly in half.
'HEADLINE NEWS
Leads to who Descrow is Now
Descrow, after escaping prison eight years, has still not been found. Some leads are to the fact that he 'isn't' dead, but identified as another. Descrow had been charged with Illegal Creations of Technology and a homicide. Slaten Descrow murdered Molly Descrow December 15th, 1994, from suspicion that she was committing adulterated acts with Millionaire Playboy, Bruce Wayne.
Descrow left behind clues to who he'd be, but none ever went out to public's eye. The judge finally came to a conclusion that his name is-'
"WHAT!?" Robin whispered dreadfully. The headline cut off right there! A perfect cut, and Robin was sure someone did that on purpose. Stuffing the annoying headline into his pouch, Robin made his way out of the small hut and to the Slade's chamber door.
He was about to go around the corner, when a hand wrapped around his mouth and pulled him back. Robin, out of fear, almost yelled in the anonymous hand. "Shh, Robin, it's me!"
Robin took the hand away from his mouth and turned to face the perpetrator.
Sighing with relief, he noticed that it was just Starfire. She still had her curls and was still wearing that beautiful princess nightgown. She was wearing a small green liquid filled diamond choker around her neck and was smiling brightly.
"You can't go in there! Slade is talking to someone." She said in a hushed tone. Silver was standing beside her and watching for any signs of danger.
"What's he doing here?" Robin asked, pointing to Silver.
Starfire smiled and placed a hand on the metallic robot. "He is our key out of here. Silver is going to help us escape!"
"What?" Robin's heart almost burst with joy. So this Silver robot was actually a good guy. Awesome. "Great! When do we get out of here?"
"We have to go now! C'mon!" She whispered, taking his hand and leading him out of the Chamber doors way.
As they started making there way from Slade's chamber, they turned the corner, only to be ambushed my 14 gray robots. Silver groaned and turned to Starfire and Robin.
Starfire's heart was beating fast and Robin's glare was boring holes into the grays' eyes. Flying up high and forging firebolts in both hands, Starfire quickly threw them at the grays.
She got at least four grays, Robin got 2 of them and Silver got none. Having 8 more grays after them, the escapees were caught, and brought to the main chamber where Slade awaited them.
"Figured you wouldn't be caught, and escape that easily?" Slade said calmly. His back was turned to them as he sat in the chair near his computers. "Thought, 'hey, might as well escape, everyone is asleep.' Eh?"
No response from the teens. "Silver, I thought I told you to watch over Starfire and keep her from escaping?" Slade said, crossing his arms. Silver stared down at the marble floor, not daring to look into Slade's eyes.
Slade turned to Starfire. "Starfire, I thought I told you, you would be free if you brought Robin to me, and now look, you are trying to escape with him!" Starfire winced from his sudden burst of voice.
"Robin, remember what I said? Or did you decide to decline my offer and go back with your friends?" Starfire turned to Robin confused, as Slade said this.
"What offer Robin?" She asked quietly. No response came from Robin, but a glare. Slade chuckled.
"Fine then. Starfire," He called, pulling her in close to him. "Remember when I said that Robin hated you?" Slade whispered in here ear, but loud enough for Robin to here. Starfire knitted her eyebrows in sadness and nodded, still staring at Robin.
"Slade no!" Robin begged, but Slade continued.
"His plan was when he escaped, was to kill you. That's why I gave you clear instructions not to escape with him. Remember when I said that he would come to destroy you? Well I was right. He followed you that day to destroy you, then go back with his friends. He doesn't like you Starfire, no one does. Only I can help you." He drawled. Tears were starting to show in Starfire's hurt eyes. She was glaring slightly at Robin.
"Slade, please! Stop!" Robin kept begging. "Starfire, don't listen to him!"
"He wants to kill you Starfire. Stay with me, I showed you what fun was, I gave you a friend, Silver, I showed you everything you needed." A powerful memory shot through her.
'I showed you Earth, I gave you friends, I showed you the meaning of fun! What more do you want from me.'
"No." She whispered. Slade faltered back. "What?" He hissed.
"No." She said more loudly. Robin looked at her strangely, what was happening? "You never showed me those things, Robin did. He showed me Earth, he gave me friends, and he even made me feel love!" She backed away from Slade.
Slade went to reach out for her, but she backed away. She tore the green diamond choker from her neck and threw it across the room. It smashed into millions of pieces with the green AL leaking from it.
"NO!" Slade said, he grabbed her shoulders. Starfire gasped and latched on to her neck. Her vision suddenly became blurred and everything around her became black. She had fainted.
Robin chuckled. "Whatever it is your are planning now Slade, it's over."
Slade gently let Starfire down and smiled up at Robin. "Oh on the contrary Robin, it has just begun." He gave off a chuckle and pulled out a paper clipping from his pocket. Robin glanced at it and took out the clean-cut headline in his pocket pouch.
"I believe you were looking for this?" Slade said calmly. Robin walked over to Slade and snatched it away from him. Putting the two pieces together, it fit.

"You, are- no, never!" Robin laughed at the ridiculous headline. Slade smiled evilly and held out his hands in a sarcastic hug motion.
*"Pfff, Robin, Pfff, I am your father." He said in the Darth Vader voice. HAHAH JK! *
"Slaten Descrow, out your service, son." He said. Robin glared and backed away from his father.
"You mean to tell me that 'you' are my father? Slaten Descrow? The same Slaten Descrow who killed my mom Molly Descrow because you believed that she was committing adulterated acts with Bruce Wayne?" Robin said outraged. Slade nodded. "And here you are, trying to make me become your apprentice!" Robin gasped.
"So that's the whole reason why you wanted me to become yours! You wanted me to follow in your footsteps! WELL LISTEN HERE! YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING TOWARDS YA IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT I WILL BE YOUR APPRENTICE! You are fucking out of your mind!" Robin screamed. Silver cowered at Robin's rage, but Slade just stood there.
"So I take it you don't want a hug." Slade put down his hands. "Well, you finally unraveled the mystery to all my riddles. Congratulations son."
Robin glared threateningly. "I hate you."
"Of course." Slade said, turning his back on him.
*************************************************************
"Are you sure this is the way you go? We have been going down stairs and stairs and look here is another door!" Beast boy whined. He opened the vined door and gasped. "So I guess we did go the right way."
"No shit sherlock!" Cyborg said irritably. "Robin's smart when it comes to these things! No doubt he would have found the hide out before any of us would!"
"Well excuse me Mr. I-know-everything-and-a-bag-of-potato-chips!" Beast growled. "I didn't think we were going the right way because your stupid findy invisibly thingy majiggi is so fucked up that it can't even signal out a-" Raven's powers blocked his words.
"Enough." She scolded. "We need to stop fighting and get to Robin and Starfire!" Walking through the door of steel, they now found themselves in Slade's layer. Following the yells, they came to a complete stop to the side of Slade, Robin, a gray and a fainted Starfire.
"Robin!" Cyborg yelled, slapping out his sonic cannon. Raven used her powers to summon Starfire to her and Beast boy changed into a tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Titans!" Robin said excited. "What are you guys doing here? How did you find out about this place!?"
"Dude, I am the smartest dudie around, I know!" T-Rex Beast boy said pompously. He puffed out his green chest and chomped down three times.
"Actually, we searched your room and found the map." Raven said. Beast boy size decreased to a mouse and he muttered to her. "Just had to ruin my big moment didn't ya?"
"Listen Slade, we are here for our friends, and your final defeat once and for all!" Cyborg said. "Robin, I got the sonic, if you got Da boom?"
Robin ran over to Cyborg and his friends and nodded. "I do have the boom, but not right now. There is something I have to tell you guys!"
"Yes Robin, tell them who I really am." Slade said seriously, not a hint of sarcasm.
All eyes fell on Robin, and Starfire started to stir. "What's going on?" She whispered. Starfire noticed that she was in Raven's arms and backed away. "Robin, I, oh god my head." She fell to the ground and watched as everyone waited for Robin's answer.
"Well, he, I um...he is my..." Robin looked down. "...Father."
"WHAT?!" They all said.
"Uh please, not so loud!" Starfire winced, holding her neck and head. Robin picked her up and held her to his chest, looking at Slade.
"So I see Slade, you have lost your Robin, and it looks like you lost me him too!" Blackfire walked out behind Slade and growled. "I see you are doing better Koriand'r."
Starfire glared and raised an eyebrow. "Who are you?" She asked her sister. Blackfire turned to Slade and slapped her forehead. 'Duh, she is under amnesia!' Blackfire thought. She was about to respond when,
"SO HERE THEY ARE!" Three figures came stomping out of the shadows. One was a large teenager built as a giant, a small teen who was a girl and a munchkin little boy.
"HIVE?" Raven asked. What were they doing here?
"Who are they?" Starfire asked, still holding on to Robin's chest.
"Hey Beast boy!" Jinx winked. Beast boy smiled weakly and that earned a growl from the very jealous Raven.
"H-hey J-jinx." He stuttered, hoping Raven wouldn't blast him away. "What are you guys doing here?"
"I have come to collect Starfire as my girlfriend!" Mammoth roared. "Starfire, come beautiful, I need you!"
Robin growled and held on to her tighter. "Back off Mammoth."
Slade watched the scene interestedly. He backed off a bit, with 50 gray robots behind him. Loud cackling was heard echoing around the halls of Slade's layer. Everyone turned silent and listened, looking around for the owner of the laughs.
"Well isn't it just perfect? I see the Teen Titans have once again reunited." Devion came walking out of the shadows in an evilly calm pace. There everyone was. Slade with his 50 gray robots behind him, HIVE all together again, Blackfire staring lustfully towards Robin and Devion in the middle of the room, setting his gaze on Starfire.
And once again, the Teen Titans were standing in their positions of defense mode. Cyborg with his sonic cannon out, Raven's eyes white with black spirals of energy in her hands, Beast boy readying himself to turn into an animal, Starfire's eyes green with fury and Robin, in the middle in his karate pose.

"So what exactly are we looking for in his room Raven?" Beast boy asked, flipping over Robin's bed spread and mattress for any sign of clues to where he was.
"Anything to lead us to him. Remember that your motivation is, Robin is being forced into something that he doesn't want, and we have to help him before he gets seriously hurt. And Starfire needs our help to remember!" Raven said, moving books and picture frames.
"Slade has gone way to far this time!" Cyborg said, smashing down a book that read: 'Master Shimu's arts of Karate volume four'. "I mean, can't he just understand that Robin wants nothing to do with him and that he, he, hey guys I think I've found something."
Raven and Beast boy walked hurriedly over to the half robot and stared at the picture frame of Starfire and Robin. "Picture frame Cyborg, how nice." Beast boy said sarcastically. He walked over to Robin's bed and sat.
"No I mean there is something behind it." Pushing the small red button, everything turned over, including the bed that Beast boy sat on. Beast boy was swallowed and spit back out as a flat green table.
"That was wicked!" He exclaimed. The green dude popped to his normal self and studied the bed turned table. "I wonder why Robin never told us about this," At that moment, he accidentally pushed over Robin's bird-a-rangs that lay forgotten on the side and they smashed to the ground.
Raven walked over to him and studied the table as Beast boy sweat dropped. "Gee, I wonder why." She said sarcastically.
"Hey guys come look at this!" Cyborg said amazed. Beast boy frowned and crossed his arms in a pouty way.
"Why is he finding all the good stuff?"
"Maybe because he's smarter and more handsome," She teased quietly as they walked to the wall.
"Now you're just trying to make me jealous." He growled playfully. Raven gave him a smirk and turned to Cyborg. "Wow, what has Robin been doing in his spare time?"
"So many headlines! So many questions! All rhetorical ones too! 'Who is Slade.' This boy is obsessed!" Cyborg exclaimed. "I knew Robin had this insane craving for catching the baddies before they caused harm, but I think he let Slade get to him."
"Yep! Beast boy is still good! I found something!" He called. Raven and Cyborg forced their amazed gaze away from the wall of headlines and jogged beside Beast boy who was leaning over stacks of papers by Robin's bedside table.
"What is that?" Cyborg asked, squinting his one eye.
"That looks like scribbling for some sort of letter." Beast boy said, grazing his finger over it softly. It was the dreams that Robin had been writing down when he had a memory.
"Boys, I think I know where Slade is hiding, and I think I know where Robin and Starfire are." Raven said after moments of silence. The boys turned to her and knitted their eyebrows in confusion. Raven held up a drawn map and directions.
"Robin seemed to have cracked the clue, but was taken before he could do anything about it." She said, showing them her evidence. The map seemed to be directing them to the,
"The ocean?"
"No, the forest!" Cyborg argued, turning over the upside down map in Beast boy's hands. Beast boy blushed and then frowned.
"I was right! It is in the ocean!"
"No dumb shit, it's in the forest, leading into the ocean!" Cyborg sighed irritably. Beast boy shoved the map in Cyborg's arms and swatted him away as he walked out the door.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You know I was right."
*************************************************************
"Robin, it's me Starfire." She whispered. Silver was glancing around the chamber with hawk eyes and Robin sat up in his bed. Starfire opened the chamber door with Silver's keys and walked in.
"Robin, are you awake?" She paced slowly towards him and sat down on the bed that creaked. She held out an energy ball and put it in his unlit lamp so it shined dimly in the room. Robin was sitting with his hands on his brought up knees glaring at the girl in front of him.
"Robin," She whispered sadly. "Listen, I am sorry if Slade was too hard on you today." Starfire stared contently at the furious boy.
"Right." He said harshly.
"No, I really am. I don't know what's going on between you two and-"
"You're right, you don't! Cause every god damn time I try, you always cut me off!" He interrupted.
"Like your doing now to me!" She got up and swished her arm around in an angry movement. "Listen buddy, and listen good! I don't know who you are, or who really Slade is, but I came down here to apologize, and right now, I could be kicking my heart for feeling pity on such a worthless guy!" She started stomping away, when Robin stopped her.
"Told you your heart would need." He whispered nonchalantly.
She turned to him swiftly. "What?" Starfire growled.
"Need, and feel."
"You are so arrogant! If you think for one moment that I like you, you got another thing coming!" She said in frenzy.
No response came, but leaking water. Starfire could barely make out his face because the light was so dim, but she saw his head drop to his knees, staring ahead of him.
Starfire suddenly felt guilty again and walked towards him slowly. "Okay, I'm sorry for that too. I, well, I just have been having a hard time."
Robin stayed quiet, resting his head on his knees and arms, not daring to look at her. If only she could remember, if there was anything he could do, he would do it.
"Are you going to talk to me, or are you going to ignore me now that I am to blame for downing your high arrogance?" She said softly, not trying once to be rude.
"I'm sorry." He said weakly. Starfire sat next to him and stared into his masked face and knitted her eyebrows in worry. She brought a smooth hand over his soft face and touched lightly at the new wounds.
Robin trembled but stayed still. Starfire's light touch traced the healing wound that she gave him with her heel the first time they fought. "I'm sorry." She muttered quietly, leaning towards him.
Starfire noticed that Robin's face, and even masked eyes were filled with worry and pain. He was so tired and so stressed. Lightly stroking his face with her warm hands, she said to Robin.
"Your mind, with out your friends," She still touched him softly, tracing his wounds. "With out this girl you keep mistaking me for, your stressed." Starfire whispered.
Robin looked up and stared. "You think I mistake you for the girl I keep talking about?"
"Of course, I mean," She looked down sadly. "I don't even know you. Yeah, my name is Starfire, but I don't think I am 'that' Starfire you portray me to be." Star shook her head.
"No, you are. But you just don't know it yet." He said raising his head.
Starfire turned towards the door and whispered even more quietly. "Listen I can't stay long, I think I heard something out there, but I have to ask you some questions."
Robin sat on the bed now with his feet hanging over the mattress. "Yeah?"
"Robin, I've been having 'strange' dreams of, I think you." She admitted. Robin's face brightened slightly and she continued, gnarling her long flowy dress up a bit.
"I don't know if they are memories, or just dreams." She said uncomfortably. "But I've been waking up sweaty and disarranged because of them. Some seem so real, and some seem so cliché that I don't know what to believe. Like tonight! They were so real, I really thought I had been consumed by thick orange goo." She trailed off.
"Apprentice." Robin said remotely. Starfire "Huh?'d" and Robin continued. "Oh, you must have had the memory when I was forced to be Slade's apprentice. I was to kill you, but you stopped me with your words." He choked out.
"Then I am not hallucinating! Slade, that bastard, lied to me! He's been telling me that my dreams were just nightmares created by your friend, I think her name is Crow?"
"Raven." He corrected. Starfire nodded and smiled.
"So, hypothetically speaking, we were, that is if I believe you, friends once before?" She asked sweetly, but confused all the same.
Robin nodded and grinned. "So, you're remembering right?"
"I don't know, I guess, but I don't know." She rubbed her neck and winced. "My neck hurts so bad," She sighed, abrading it.
Robin touched it and she winced again. "It's where he stabbed you with the amnesia needle."
"He, as in Slade?" She asked curiously. Robin nodded.
"Yeah, orange goo to stop your powers for a while, then green liquid filled with memory loss syndrome."
Starfire growled and stood up swiftly. "That bastard!" Silver's head popped out from the side and hushed her.
"M'lady, I think I heard something, is your visit with this boy complete or incomplete?" He asked fearfully. Starfire looked from Robin to Silver and started walking out the door.
"I will be back Robin, or I will see you in the morning, we have to talk!" She glanced at the rushing Silver, but ran over to Robin. Sneakily, she grabbed his hand and kissed his cheek softly. "We will talk." She whispered before taking Silver's hand and dashing out of there.
Robin watched Silver shut the door and run away. Looking into his palm, he found the key to unlock the chamber door, binding him in. "That is one sly girl." He grinned.
A figure was hidden stealthily in the shadows not too far off from Robin's Chamber. The hidden person saw the incident between Robin and Starfire, and she was fuming. Not to mention that Silver robot, he was going to be in for it.
'How dare they go behind Slade's back and enter Robin's room! If I can't go in there, she will definitely not be able to go in!' She thought. A dark grin spread across her lips. "Koriand'r isn't the only who can be sly Robin." She said, before turning to leave, laughing villainous.
*************************************************************
"10,845 steps to get to this damn hide out from my damn hide out!" Devion shouted furiously. He swept his long streaky black hair out of his burned eyes and entered the broken down crypt of wood.
Walking in slowly, he noticed that there were seats and tables smashed and even bones from dead animals. Devion scrunched up his nose in disgust and kept walking. Another crypt of wood was hidden under a pile of badger bones, so hell's son whisked them away and pounded it until it broke open.
Entering that long staired down chamber, Devion found himself getting deeper and deeper underground. Slade was a sneaky one; he had under rooms hidden by so many things, like on the wall under a picture, in the fireplaces and under bones.
Devion finally reached the last door, or so he thought. The vine wrapped door was open and he entered it, gasping at the hall's site. It was an underwater hall. The walls were clear and fish were swimming all around it. He could see sharks and eels swimming around the rocks, and even some dolphins.
There was one last door, and it was made of steel. Devion walked over to it and slightly tugged. The door opened, but with a loud creak. Walking sneakily in, Devion found himself in the main hide out of Slade's layer.
*************************************************************
"Master Lucifer, you have a call from our lord." Salazar bowed, holding the horned mirror towards his master. Lucifer frowned at the pathetic demon and snatched the mirror out of his hands.
Salazar started walking off, but his eyes grew wide and stumbled to the floor and bowed once more. "I am sorry sire, I have disrespected you, I will never leave with out your permission oh humbly one!" The demon muttered. Lucifer growled and flicked his wrist.
Salazar went soaring out of the throne and out of Lucifer's sight. "Fool." He whispered, before looking into the mirror. "What is it Lord." He stated, not even bothering to tone it in a question.
"Lucifer, it has came to my acknowledge that Devion is now mortal." God's voice was low and soothing. Lucifer smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Notice did you?" Hell replied smoothly.
"That I did." The lord smiled. "And that is why if one of the titans kill Devion as you say he is now mortal, they will not be banished to hell."
"WHAT!" Lucifer screamed. "You and I both know perfectly well that if one kills another, he or she will be banished from heaven and tortured in hell! Why change the agreement!"
"Because Lucifer, you went against our agreement and made Devion human again to marry the Tamaran exotic Starfire. So since Devion is actually already banished to hell, the teens have no right to not enter heaven once the perish from the earth."
"What is wrong with Devion taking a wife from earth!?" Lucifer growled.
"Have you forgotten that he is your son Lucifer? Do you remember when you became mortal TWICE and impregnated almost 100 women!?" God said fiercely. "You killed 99 of them and their children! 1st was Deedee, and you stayed in earth for almost 17 years before you killed her and Devion.
The one you let escape was Aroree and her mother. And you and I know well that she is half demoness and half vampire! She could be more powerful than Devion if she really wanted to!"
"No she couldn't! Because she is only half of those things! I gave Devion my full power of Hell and no one could beat him because he will one day take over Hell!" Lucifer raged.
"True, but she is almost stronger than him. I am afraid that Devion will follow in your footsteps and do the same thing you did on earth. So if he wants a bride, he will have to take one from hell."
Lucifer chuckled. "Oh but he will, once he kills her! Starfire will become the queen of hell, and Devion will become king! I will not let him make the same mistake I did with Deedee. She will come to hell after she perishes and they will take over. If Devion has to, one day he will kill Aroree, and I will make sure of it."
God shook his head. "Believe what you want Lucifer, but I be damned to hell if Starfire follows down too! But there is no problem, because she will die just like Deedee did, and she will come to heaven."
"You are messing our agreement lord!" Lucifer snarled.
"Correction, you already erred it up. Have a good day Lucifer." God's reflection was now blurred and Lucifer was again throwing the mirror towards the wall.
"Shit! I have to warn Devion!" Lucifer boomed. He sat in his throne chair and rubbed his temples. "This is getting ever so complicated."
*************************************************************
The sunrise had shined on the outside of Slade's layer, but not once shined through the darkness of it. They were underground, near the water and the only thing that made the halls and chambers lit were small candles.
Everyone still seemed to be sleeping, except for those guards who were on patrol of course. The gray robot that was supposed to be watching Robin was out, probably getting into mischief. Robin took the advantage to slip the key in its lock and twist.
The lock unlocked and boy wonder escaped the disgusting chamber he had once slept in. It was probably 6 in the morning, and he had plenty of time to escape. Perhaps he could capture Starfire and free her from Slade's grasp.
Walking stealthily towards the main chambers, Robin walked up like 3 bounds of stairs. 'Damn, can Slade's hide out get any bigger?' He thought nastily.
Finally reaching the main chamber, he noticed that there was a little door that was camouflaged into the metal walls. He opened the little handle that was incrusted into the wall, the door opened, and he walked in.
It was a small room, more like a captain's room on a ship. There was one large window and it had all the under water creatures as its view. A table was in the middle of the room, as well as a comfortable chair. The table, or desk, was stacked with papers and pens. On the walls were headlines and pictures of all the titans.
'Man, and everyone thought I was obsessed.' Robin thought as he walked around the room, observing the headlines. Sitting down on the comfortable chair, Robin started going through the desk's drawers.
Opening the long middle one at his stomach, he found more pens, ink, blank papers and a crumbled up picture. Slowly, Robin took it out and unfolded it. The picture was old and had cracked lines in it. The picture was from his memory.
'Mom, dad, and me.' He thought lightly. 'Why would Slade have a picture of this? How did Slade get this?'
Robin traced the bodies in the picture lightly. He first traced himself as a small child and a big smile, his mom who was in her beautiful long dress and head of curls, and his father, who was in the same tux as Robin. Boy wonder knitted his eyebrows in sorrow and pain. 'Mom.'
Putting the picture in his utility belt pouch, since he changed back into his clothes after Starfire's arrival, he continued on with the searching. Digging into more drawers, he found a headline clipping that was torn in two.
'Continued from page A1.' Robin's eyes widened. This was the paper that was cut out every time he searched for it!
'HEADLINE NEWS
A note to the beginning of the headline! Descrow has escaped after millions of reports on his capture! The genius escaped prison and is now in hiding! No news on where he's hiding at the moment, but we will find him.
(Reporter and writer) – Josh Hinduts'
Robin's jaw dropped. "That's it? He escaped, that's the big mystery?" He said shocked. "What a waste of time!"
Now digging more furiously, Robin picked up a little something on the last drawer. It was another headline, except actually this time it was cut perfectly in half.
'HEADLINE NEWS
Leads to who Descrow is Now
Descrow, after escaping prison eight years, has still not been found. Some leads are to the fact that he 'isn't' dead, but identified as another. Descrow had been charged with Illegal Creations of Technology and a homicide. Slaten Descrow murdered Molly Descrow December 15th, 1994, from suspicion that she was committing adulterated acts with Millionaire Playboy, Bruce Wayne.
Descrow left behind clues to who he'd be, but none ever went out to public's eye. The judge finally came to a conclusion that his name is-'
"WHAT!?" Robin whispered dreadfully. The headline cut off right there! A perfect cut, and Robin was sure someone did that on purpose. Stuffing the annoying headline into his pouch, Robin made his way out of the small hut and to the Slade's chamber door.
He was about to go around the corner, when a hand wrapped around his mouth and pulled him back. Robin, out of fear, almost yelled in the anonymous hand. "Shh, Robin, it's me!"
Robin took the hand away from his mouth and turned to face the perpetrator.
Sighing with relief, he noticed that it was just Starfire. She still had her curls and was still wearing that beautiful princess nightgown. She was wearing a small green liquid filled diamond choker around her neck and was smiling brightly.
"You can't go in there! Slade is talking to someone." She said in a hushed tone. Silver was standing beside her and watching for any signs of danger.
"What's he doing here?" Robin asked, pointing to Silver.
Starfire smiled and placed a hand on the metallic robot. "He is our key out of here. Silver is going to help us escape!"
"What?" Robin's heart almost burst with joy. So this Silver robot was actually a good guy. Awesome. "Great! When do we get out of here?"
"We have to go now! C'mon!" She whispered, taking his hand and leading him out of the Chamber doors way.
As they started making there way from Slade's chamber, they turned the corner, only to be ambushed my 14 gray robots. Silver groaned and turned to Starfire and Robin.
Starfire's heart was beating fast and Robin's glare was boring holes into the grays' eyes. Flying up high and forging firebolts in both hands, Starfire quickly threw them at the grays.
She got at least four grays, Robin got 2 of them and Silver got none. Having 8 more grays after them, the escapees were caught, and brought to the main chamber where Slade awaited them.
"Figured you wouldn't be caught, and escape that easily?" Slade said calmly. His back was turned to them as he sat in the chair near his computers. "Thought, 'hey, might as well escape, everyone is asleep.' Eh?"
No response from the teens. "Silver, I thought I told you to watch over Starfire and keep her from escaping?" Slade said, crossing his arms. Silver stared down at the marble floor, not daring to look into Slade's eyes.
Slade turned to Starfire. "Starfire, I thought I told you, you would be free if you brought Robin to me, and now look, you are trying to escape with him!" Starfire winced from his sudden burst of voice.
"Robin, remember what I said? Or did you decide to decline my offer and go back with your friends?" Starfire turned to Robin confused, as Slade said this.
"What offer Robin?" She asked quietly. No response came from Robin, but a glare. Slade chuckled.
"Fine then. Starfire," He called, pulling her in close to him. "Remember when I said that Robin hated you?" Slade whispered in here ear, but loud enough for Robin to here. Starfire knitted her eyebrows in sadness and nodded, still staring at Robin.
"Slade no!" Robin begged, but Slade continued.
"His plan was when he escaped, was to kill you. That's why I gave you clear instructions not to escape with him. Remember when I said that he would come to destroy you? Well I was right. He followed you that day to destroy you, then go back with his friends. He doesn't like you Starfire, no one does. Only I can help you." He drawled. Tears were starting to show in Starfire's hurt eyes. She was glaring slightly at Robin.
"Slade, please! Stop!" Robin kept begging. "Starfire, don't listen to him!"
"He wants to kill you Starfire. Stay with me, I showed you what fun was, I gave you a friend, Silver, I showed you everything you needed." A powerful memory shot through her.
'I showed you Earth, I gave you friends, I showed you the meaning of fun! What more do you want from me.'
"No." She whispered. Slade faltered back. "What?" He hissed.
"No." She said more loudly. Robin looked at her strangely, what was happening? "You never showed me those things, Robin did. He showed me Earth, he gave me friends, and he even made me feel love!" She backed away from Slade.
Slade went to reach out for her, but she backed away. She tore the green diamond choker from her neck and threw it across the room. It smashed into millions of pieces with the green AL leaking from it.
"NO!" Slade said, he grabbed her shoulders. Starfire gasped and latched on to her neck. Her vision suddenly became blurred and everything around her became black. She had fainted.
Robin chuckled. "Whatever it is your are planning now Slade, it's over."
Slade gently let Starfire down and smiled up at Robin. "Oh on the contrary Robin, it has just begun." He gave off a chuckle and pulled out a paper clipping from his pocket. Robin glanced at it and took out the clean-cut headline in his pocket pouch.
"I believe you were looking for this?" Slade said calmly. Robin walked over to Slade and snatched it away from him. Putting the two pieces together, it fit.

"You, are- no, never!" Robin laughed at the ridiculous headline. Slade smiled evilly and held out his hands in a sarcastic hug motion.
*"Pfff, Robin, Pfff, I am your father." He said in the Darth Vader voice. HAHAH JK! *
"Slaten Descrow, out your service, son." He said. Robin glared and backed away from his father.
"You mean to tell me that 'you' are my father? Slaten Descrow? The same Slaten Descrow who killed my mom Molly Descrow because you believed that she was committing adulterated acts with Bruce Wayne?" Robin said outraged. Slade nodded. "And here you are, trying to make me become your apprentice!" Robin gasped.
"So that's the whole reason why you wanted me to become yours! You wanted me to follow in your footsteps! WELL LISTEN HERE! YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING TOWARDS YA IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT I WILL BE YOUR APPRENTICE! You are fucking out of your mind!" Robin screamed. Silver cowered at Robin's rage, but Slade just stood there.
"So I take it you don't want a hug." Slade put down his hands. "Well, you finally unraveled the mystery to all my riddles. Congratulations son."
Robin glared threateningly. "I hate you."
"Of course." Slade said, turning his back on him.
*************************************************************
"Are you sure this is the way you go? We have been going down stairs and stairs and look here is another door!" Beast boy whined. He opened the vined door and gasped. "So I guess we did go the right way."
"No shit sherlock!" Cyborg said irritably. "Robin's smart when it comes to these things! No doubt he would have found the hide out before any of us would!"
"Well excuse me Mr. I-know-everything-and-a-bag-of-potato-chips!" Beast growled. "I didn't think we were going the right way because your stupid findy invisibly thingy majiggi is so fucked up that it can't even signal out a-" Raven's powers blocked his words.
"Enough." She scolded. "We need to stop fighting and get to Robin and Starfire!" Walking through the door of steel, they now found themselves in Slade's layer. Following the yells, they came to a complete stop to the side of Slade, Robin, a gray and a fainted Starfire.
"Robin!" Cyborg yelled, slapping out his sonic cannon. Raven used her powers to summon Starfire to her and Beast boy changed into a tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Titans!" Robin said excited. "What are you guys doing here? How did you find out about this place!?"
"Dude, I am the smartest dudie around, I know!" T-Rex Beast boy said pompously. He puffed out his green chest and chomped down three times.
"Actually, we searched your room and found the map." Raven said. Beast boy size decreased to a mouse and he muttered to her. "Just had to ruin my big moment didn't ya?"
"Listen Slade, we are here for our friends, and your final defeat once and for all!" Cyborg said. "Robin, I got the sonic, if you got Da boom?"
Robin ran over to Cyborg and his friends and nodded. "I do have the boom, but not right now. There is something I have to tell you guys!"
"Yes Robin, tell them who I really am." Slade said seriously, not a hint of sarcasm.
All eyes fell on Robin, and Starfire started to stir. "What's going on?" She whispered. Starfire noticed that she was in Raven's arms and backed away. "Robin, I, oh god my head." She fell to the ground and watched as everyone waited for Robin's answer.
"Well, he, I um...he is my..." Robin looked down. "...Father."
"WHAT?!" They all said.
"Uh please, not so loud!" Starfire winced, holding her neck and head. Robin picked her up and held her to his chest, looking at Slade.
"So I see Slade, you have lost your Robin, and it looks like you lost me him too!" Blackfire walked out behind Slade and growled. "I see you are doing better Koriand'r."
Starfire glared and raised an eyebrow. "Who are you?" She asked her sister. Blackfire turned to Slade and slapped her forehead. 'Duh, she is under amnesia!' Blackfire thought. She was about to respond when,
"SO HERE THEY ARE!" Three figures came stomping out of the shadows. One was a large teenager built as a giant, a small teen who was a girl and a munchkin little boy.
"HIVE?" Raven asked. What were they doing here?
"Who are they?" Starfire asked, still holding on to Robin's chest.
"Hey Beast boy!" Jinx winked. Beast boy smiled weakly and that earned a growl from the very jealous Raven.
"H-hey J-jinx." He stuttered, hoping Raven wouldn't blast him away. "What are you guys doing here?"
"I have come to collect Starfire as my girlfriend!" Mammoth roared. "Starfire, come beautiful, I need you!"
Robin growled and held on to her tighter. "Back off Mammoth."
Slade watched the scene interestedly. He backed off a bit, with 50 gray robots behind him. Loud cackling was heard echoing around the halls of Slade's layer. Everyone turned silent and listened, looking around for the owner of the laughs.
"Well isn't it just perfect? I see the Teen Titans have once again reunited." Devion came walking out of the shadows in an evilly calm pace. There everyone was. Slade with his 50 gray robots behind him, HIVE all together again, Blackfire staring lustfully towards Robin and Devion in the middle of the room, setting his gaze on Starfire.
And once again, the Teen Titans were standing in their positions of defense mode. Cyborg with his sonic cannon out, Raven's eyes white with black spirals of energy in her hands, Beast boy readying himself to turn into an animal, Starfire's eyes green with fury and Robin, in the middle in his karate pose.
