Chapter 7

Every answer always leads to another question

"What time is it?" yawned Onyx as he stood up to stretch his muscles.

"There is still one hour left until sunrise" smiled the girl as she opened an eye and looked at over at Onyx.

"Aww man a whole hour" sighed Onyx s he sat back down and folded his arms across his chest, What am I gonna do for an hour? He thought as he yawned again.

"You could try sitting still and waiting" replied the girl as she closed her eye again.

"How did you?" gasped Onyx as he looked up at the girl in confusion and shock. The girl simply just smiled gently and continued her meditation.

Robin walked through the city and looked around him as if he had lost something. But he knew where he was going he was just looking at the sights of the city.

"I forgot how big this place was" he said to himself as he stopped and looked up at the big City Clock, Dam I only have an hour left until sunrise he thought as he started walking towards the outskirts of town.

"Tell me again why I'm doing this" he asked himself as he walked.

"Duh it's because you need Onyx to defeat 'the evil' remember" replied a very cheerful inside his head.

"So you keep saying but he was one who ran out before I could even talk to him" Robin replied.

"That's because he was meant to run, god it's like talking to brick wall" the voice said back.

"Very funny besides I have my own reasons to bring him back" Robin said as he continued his long walk.

"Your doing this for 'her' aren't ya? Well I must say you're a very nice guy instead of being with 'her' you are going to get the person who loves 'her' more than life itself and hates you" the voice replied laughing slightly.

"That's what us mortals do when we're in love" Robin replied laughing at how strange it may have sounded to a voice inside his head.

"You mortals are really weird, I don't think I'll ever understand you" said the voice after it stopped laughing.

"And you god's are completely insane" Robin smirked.

"Hey I'm a goddess buster" the voice spat back in a cheerful tone.

"Oh I'm sorry Genesis I didn't mean to offend you" Robin said sarcastically, making Genesis laugh again.

"Very funny" she said as she continued to laugh at him.

"So tell me about this evil" Robin said after Genesis calmed down slightly

"What is there to say we god's don't know much about it except that it's evil and it wants to destroy all life in existence" replied Genesis shuddering at the thought of 'the evil'. I can't tell him the truth not yet thought Genesis as Robin continued his long walk.

"So how will I know it's here?" Robin asked.

"Oh you'll know, trust me you'll know. Now I'm going to go so I'll speak to you later" said Genesis before her voice completely left Robin's head.

"I'm sure we will" sighed Robin as he shook his head and started to run to where he thought Onyx would be.

"Well unless my watch is fast it looks like I only have two minutes left until sunrise" smiled Onyx as he stood up and shoved his watch into the girls face.

"That's very nice Onyx" sighed the girl as she opened her eyes and glared at Onyx.

"Just passing on the info" smiled Onyx as he backed away from the angry girl and strapped his watch back on his arm.

Where are you? Thought the girl as she turned her gaze towards the city.

"Uhh what are you looking at?" asked a very curious Onyx as he joined the girl in looking at the city.

"Him" smiled the girl as she pointed to someone walking towards them.

"And he is?" asked Onyx as he squinted his eyes to try and identify the person.

"Robin" smiled the girl as she once again closed her eyes and went back to meditate.

"Nice to see you again Onyx you're a hard man to find" smiled Robin as he reached them and held out his hand to Onyx.

"Wish I could say the same" Onyx muttered under his breath as he grudgingly shook Robins hand.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" asked Robin as he looked at Onyx, but he knew what he said and he didn't care.

"Nothing…so what are you doing here?" asked Onyx s he put his hands in his pockets and tried to make conversation.

"I'm here to bring you home" Robin simply replied as he copied Onyx and put his own hands in his pockets.

"I'm not going back!" Onyx said loudly as he turned his back to Robin and closed his eyes.

"May I ask why?" asked Robin as he walked up to Onyx and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I have my reasons now if you don't mind I'm kinda behind schedule" Onyx replied coldly as he shrugged off Robin's hand and proceeded to walk away.

"I know all about your feelings for Raven" Robin said as he looked at Onyx, who stopped in his tracks at the mention of her name.

"Did she tell you?" Onyx asked coldly keeping his back to Robin.

"No I just figured it out for myself. Listen Onyx I know that Raven cares about you but I really care about her and I won't let you do this to her" Robin said as he walked in front of Onyx and looked him directly in the eyes, "Please don't go it would kill her"

"She has you know she doesn't need me anymore" replied Onyx as he tried to look away but found that his eyes wouldn't obey him.

"She does need you man, trust me. Now please come home with me" Robin pleaded as Onyx struggled to look away.

"I can't ever go back" Onyx said softly as he felt tears seep from his eyes, "tell her I'm sorry" and with that he once again started to walk away.

"Onyx if you leave now the Titan's will be dead within a year!" Robin yelled after him making him once again stop in his tracks, Do you want something like that on your conciseness?"

"What do you mean 'dead'?" asked Onyx as he turned and looked at Robin his face look horrified.

"Listen to me in one year from now an evil, the likes of which this world has ever witnessed will arrive here on Earth. It's soul mission s to destroy all life. When it arrives the Titan's will do battle against it and they will loose. Cyborg will be the first to fall, then BB and Star finally me and Raven will be destroyed as well as all life in the galaxy. If you leave now you are signing away all life in existence, we need your help" Robin replied as he clenched his fists and fought to hold back his tears. Onyx collapsed to the ground, the tears poured from his eyes he didn't believe what he had heard.

"How do know this?" asked Onyx as he struggled to come to terms with what Robin had just told him.

"I told him" replied the girl as he stood up and looked over at Onyx, tears were also flowing from her eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Onyx as he tried to stand, but his legs failed him.

"Tell him he has the right to know" Robin said as he helped Onyx to stand and nodded over at the girl, who nodded back to him and approached Onyx.
