Chapter 4 - Slade
"He hasn't talked to us for weeks." Beastboy pointed out in an undertone as Robin walked into the communal living area, grabbed a piece of toast and left. "It is very unlike." Star stated after Robin had left. The expression on his face hadn't changed. It remained sullen. The sudden silence and minimum amount of communication (notes and gestures,) confused the Titans - a lot.
'Red' Robin hadn't spoken properly in three weeks. He spent his time trying to redecorate and had just finished painting his room. The sphere was in a draw and Robin hadn't given it a thought. 'Ok. Clean bike and buy new spark plug' Robin placed his to do list on the desk. His room was void of mirrors for the simple reason that he didn't want to look at himself, because of this he couldn't see the paint on his forehead that was soon to be joined by turtle wax.
'Damn scratches, how did they get here anyway?' Robin had peeled his bike from its layer of mud and was now touching up the paintwork with some turtle wax. He was so intent on polishing his bike that he didn't see Starfire until she was behind him. "Robin?" The suddenness of Starfire's voice shocked Robin and he knocked over the bottle of turtle wax. Cursing he mopped it up unsuccessfully and Starfire stooped to help. "Robin are you all right?" Starfire paused and so did Robin. 'I hurt you Star and I'm sorry' Robin looked around trying to skirt the question. "I've got to go get a spark plug." Robin blurted out. He lent forward and planted a clumsy kiss on Starfire's cheek. "Um... Robin you have paint on your forehead." Starfire was slightly flushed but Robin felt as though he was burning up. "Well I'd better go." Robin's voice sounded alienated in the silence. He got up swiftly and left Starfire alone in the garage.
Robin walked along the highstreet towards the nearest motor factor. 'I am such an idiot!' As robin browsed the shelves he heard a familiar voice. "Has a young boy with black hair entered this shop?" the sullen low voice sent a shiver down his spine. 'Slade!' Robin immediately reached for his staff. He looked around trying to find a spot were he could observe and be protected. "Yeah he went up there." The checkout assistant pointed down the isle were Robin was debating with himself. 'Damn it! Can't you keep your mouth shut?!?!?!?!' Robin cursed under his breath. He really didn't want to fight Slade on his own but he had no choice. "Hello Robin." Robin turned to face his opponent. He pushed his doubts and fears to the back of his mind. Holding his staff in guard position he steadied himself for the impending attack. "Oblivious, that's what you are. You have no idea what's about to happen to you." Slade scolded Robin in a cold uncaring way. When he finished speaking the ground began to shake and Slade disappear in a flash of smoke. Robin relaxed a little but this was his fatal mistake. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Robin was hid directly at the base of his back sending him flying. Robin managed to land gracefully and saw his attacker. "Terra!" confusion, shock, he was hit with a volley of emotions. "surprised?" a smirk flitted across the young blondes face. A yellow aura surrounded her clenched fists. She raised her hands and a chunk of the floor followed. It hovered above her awaiting command. Robin ignored the rhetorical question and prepared to attack. Running forward he attempted a flying kick, using his staff as a vault to get the extra height, he aimed for her stomach but was intercepted by the stone that Terra held ready. She slammed Robin against the shelves, which collapsed on contact. Robin blinked sleepily reaching for his com-link. I've got to stay awake. I can't give in...' "finish it." The sinister voice drew Robin's attention towards it. "no." Terra refused stubbornly. "then I'll make you." Slade brought his arms up and Terra's limbs followed. Tears streamed from her eyes. Through his fading vision Robin saw a flurry of rocks pelting towards him.
So what do you think? Why don't you tell me and tell me what you want to happen. Don't worry no serious damage done (oops) well any way please review.
