Batman gained on the figure and realized that this person was really an android. The androids face was black with a red circle in the middle. The dark night pulled out a bat-a-rang and threw it at the android catching it in the back and making it fall.

He walked up to the fallen would be assassin and bent down. He quickly registered that this android was very well built and had a lot of power. He also realized that there were hinges on the androids face.

As soon as The Bat pulled off the mask the screen behind it blipped back to life and it words began to form on it.

'Hm that was interesting, but it seems that you still haven't found out my plan and my associates' patience is wearing thin. I suggest that you hurry. –S' With that numbers appeared on the screen and began to count down. Batman jumped out of the way.

The android blew up. Batman looked calmly down at the remains of the android. It seems he wasn't dealing with an ordinary super-villain. He headed back for the 'car'. Upon getting in the screen in his car blipped to life and Alfred appeared on it.

"What is it Alfred?"

"I have come to a problem in tracing that anonymous call that you received early, sir. I thought perhaps that you'd like to try?"

"I'll be home soon Alfred."

"Very well sir. Would you like me to call in our guest also?

Batman thought about it for a minute. "No, he can keep searching."

$$$
Batman parked the bat-mobile and jumped out. He waked over to the computer and typed a few things. The place where Alfred had left off in the tracking.

"Would you like some tea, sir?" Alfred asked behind him.

"Do you have any of that Egyptian Licorice Tea?"

"I'll get right on it, sir." And he left. Batman stared at the screen. He knew what the problem was. This was dead end. Whoever this person was had planted a lot of extra 'roads' so to speak. Everyone, but one is a dead end. Batman clicked a button and went back to the beginning.

'It could take months to find the right one.' He thought. 'Lucky for me that the real one will be a little different.' It took him only a few minutes to find the right one, but as the computer began to trace it, it suddenly froze. Red words began to appear on the screen.

[I'm sorry, but I can't let you see who called you just yet.] It said.

[Why?] typed batman.

[Because it would ruin my plan.]

[Who are you?]

[I am S and you are Batman. I've heard a lot about you.]

[Oh, from who?]

[The Newspaper.] Batman could tell that S was being sarcastic though.

[Even though I'm enjoying our chat I have to go, but I'm sure we'll meet soon. Face to Face.] With that Batman's computer froze completely.

"Alfred, why don't you call Flash back in I think we'll call it a night."

Robin walked down the dirt road. On his right side were fields of flowers and trees sprouting in the early spring. On his left side were fields of thorns and dead trees, but spread among them were beautiful black roses.

The boy wonder stopped when he came to a fork in the road. The right fork led down into the fields of flowers and back to his friends. The left fork traveled through the Black Roses and led to Slade.

His friends appeared farther down the road. "Hey, Robin I just finished working on the T-car want to play video games with us?" asked Cyborg.

"Dude I'm going to kick your butt at this game!" replied Beast Boy.

"Friend Robin, would you like to taste the pudding of friendship?"

"Please tell me that we aren't going to watch another ninja movie tonight." Said Raven.

Robin started walking down that fork, but a smooth cool voice pulled him back. "Come now Robin is that the best you can do?"

"Why don't you come and find out."

"We should meet face to face."

"There is no point in going with them they will eventually betray you... hurt you... like everything else." There was a cruel laugh as Robin felt hands pulling him down the left fork. "Come with me Robin." The Titan leader began to struggle against the invisible hands and eventually broke out falling back to the beginning of the two roads.

Robin sat up with sweat rolling down his face. He looked around and saw that he was back in his room.

"It was just a dream." He told himself. "Just a dream. He lay back down the cruel laughter still ringing in his ears. He put his hands over his eyes again he could see the road in his mind.

{Next morning}

Starfire floated down to land beside Cyborg who was fixing the T-Car.

"Good day friend Cyborg." Said Starfire happily. "I was wondering if you might want to potato the couch with me and Beast Boy. For he has gotten the new movie called, um, 'The attack of the killer android'?" She finished uncertainly.

"Sure," said Cyborg. "Just let me finish up with this." Starfire clapped her hands together happily.

"Oh wonderful! I will go ask Robin now." Starfire flew off in search of the titan leader. When she came to stop and knock she froze. She did not know why, but whenever she looked at Robin's room she got chills.

Especially the first time she saw that wall. The wall with Slade on it. You can't see it from the door so none of the other Titans know about it. Finally coming out of her thoughts Starfire knocked on the door.

There was no answer.

She knocked again.

No answer.

"Robin...?" she asked worried opening the door. The room was empty. Robin wasn't there. "Robin?" she asked again.

"Robin where are you?"

$$$

Maybe he should have told his team that he was leaving. Maybe he shouldn't have left. He didn't know. He did know that he had to get away from Titan Tower though. Just for a little while. To think.

Think about the one person he didn't want to think about. Slade. Why was it that the masked criminal always plagued Robin's mind. Even more so now then before. I mean Slade was now working in Gotham. Why? What did he hope to accomplish in Batman's territory? What did hope to gain by working with The Joker and The Scarecrow? Wait. No not working, controlling. Slade never worked with anybody.

As Robin R-cycle came to a stop he looked around at his surroundings. The buildings in this area of Jump city were all broken down. It reminded Robin vaguely of a ghost town he had read about in an article.

A crow cawed from above giving off a Hollywood movie atmosphere. Robin got off his motorcycle and looked around. There was nobody in sight. What had possessed him to come here?

A trashcan got knocked over and a cat ran past him. Robin continued to walk down the alleyway. He suddenly heard a window slam from above him. 'You mean people actually live here?' he wondered. A door opened to the side of him and light came flooding out.

"Who's there...?" asked a frightened voice. Robin turned around and saw a small girl in rags standing there. His heart froze.

"Hello." Robin said. "What is your name?" The girl smiled slightly.

"My name is Robin." Said the girl. Robin blinked. "What is your name?"

"I'm Robin too." Said Robin. The girl smiled even bigger.

"Are you Robin of the teen titans?" she asked in happy voice. "Because you are the only boy I know who has my same name." Robin had to smile at that. Then he realized that the girl was blind.

He reached out his hand and took the girl's. "I am Robin of the Teen Titans." The girl smiled and moved forward slightly and hugged Robin.

"I wish that everyone could be as brave as you. My mommy and daddy say that you help to protect us and make sure no bad guys ever hurt this city." Just then Robin's communicator went off.

"Robin!" came Cyborg's voice. "We got trouble." The girl let go of Robin.

"Go save us Robin." Before Robin went he put a piece of paper in the girl's hand.

"Tell your mom and dad that this is a number to a doctor that can help you with your eyes. Just give this note to the doctor and I'll pay for it. Good luck Robin." With that Robin ran back to his motorcycle and rode off.

"Everybody's got a laughing place, a laughing, a laughing place," Sang Harley Quinn as she walked down the street spreading the Joker's deadly laughing gas. "Oh everybody's got a laughing place to go yo ho! Everybody's got laughing place and you'll find yours I know ho ho!" She past a jewelry store and stopped singing. "Oh! What beeeeautiful gems!" She smiled and went into the store.

"Why look at that I have the whole place to myself!"

"Not quite Harley!" said a voice from the door way. Harley turned around and laughed.

"Haha! It's bird boy! Why aren't with the bat? You know he really needs your help right now." Her face suddenly dropped and she clasped her hands together. "Poor, poor batty had to deal with Mista J, and Scarecrow. Not to mention him right?" she winked at Robin who felt anger boil up in him.

"You're going down Harley and so is your boy friend and his partners! Titans Go!" The four other Titans were about to follow Robin's lead as he began to attack Harley. Then of course a bunch of androids fell through the ceiling blocking the Titans from their leader.

"Tell me Robin. Do you like being separated from your team, because you have been doing that a lot lately." Purred Slade who stepped out of the shadows.

"Slade! Why are you working with Harley Quinn?" asked Robin angrily.

"If you want to know then come force it out of me." He said mockingly.

"Don't worry I intend to!" said Robin pulling out his bo staff.

"Or," Slade continued. "You could stay here and help your friends." He waved his hand in the direction of the other Titans who were now engaged in a battle with Slade's androids and Harley who was making things much more difficult then before. "Of course the choice is yours..." Slade said as he disappeared in the shadows again.

Robin turned to his friends and then back to where Slade had been. He gritted his teeth in frustration. 'They can take care of themselves.' He thought and chose the left fork.

$$$

Slade smirked as he looked behind him and saw Robin there. 'Ah, we're almost there Robin. Almost there.' He suddenly stopped and turned to Robin.

"So you decided to desert your friends and come after me again." He said smoothly. Robin stopped also taking out his staff.

"I didn't desert them." Robin replied. "They know how to take care of themselves." Slade laughed inside. 'Oh, how wrong you are little song bird.'

"Hmm. If that's so then I suppose they don't need you anymore." 'But I need you.'

"What?" Robin said with a confused look on his face.

"You said it yourself. They can take care of themselves. Its only a matter of time until they decide they don't need you anymore."

"Your wrong!" Robin said taking a step back.

"Sooner or later they'll realize that they are fine on their own and that you were just a set back." Slade continued mercilessly. Robin's hand tightened on his staff and he tensed as though the words Slade said were physical blows. "They don't care about you Robin. They distrust you and in turn you distrust them."

"No!" Yelled Robin finally springing forward to attack Slade, but Slade just sidestepped it. Robin whipped around and attacked again. All his anger and fury he had been feeling unleashed in this attack. Unfortunately, he didn't even hit Slade.

At that moment Slade took the offensive forcing Robin to retreat and block. Soon Slade got close enough to make Robin trip by putting his leg behind the retreating boy. Before Robin could fall Slade caught him his arm wrapping around the boy's waist.

"Let go." Robin said angrily.

"If you insist." Slade let go and Robin fell to the ground with a thud. Straightening Slade looked down at the boy. "Your friends are in danger. One of the androids is a bomb. If you hurry you can still save them." Slade's android took the mask off and a screen appeared there.

"We'll meet again Robin. After I get back from my trip... or perhaps before." Slade smiled and the screen counted down from 5. Shutting of his contact with the now destroyed android Slade turned and watched the other Titans battle. He did not like these four. They were holding Robin back.

He walked through a metal door and down the corridor. 'Robin, Robin, Robin. Why must you be so stubborn? You can fight it all you want, but you cannot escape the inevitable. You will eventually belong to me.' Slade opened another door the one lead into a room with Catwoman hanging by chains on the far wall. Without her mask.

Now awake Catwoman had been attempting to break the chains that held her. She looked up when Slade entered. "Who are you? And what do you want from me?" Slade chuckled.

"I am the one Batman sent you after." Catwoman's eyes widened.

"You are S?"

"I am Slade." The masked criminal agreed.

"What do you want?"

"Your silence. It won't do me any good if Batman knew who I was at the moment." Shocks went through Catwoman's body as Slade walked out.

$$$

Robin growled at the blown up android, but turned and hurried back down the left fork to his friends.

$$$

Robin came jumping through one of the holes that the androids made, did a flip and landed in an attacking position. The other Titans were still attacking Slade's robots that seemed to be multiplying by the second. Harley Quinn had run away a while ago. Knowing that there was a bomb planted.

"There's a bomb in here!" yelled Robin above the racket. 'Everyone out through the holes!" He pointed up and the Titans nodded. Beast boy changed into an eagle and soared out. Raven flew out with her powers taking Cyborg with her. Starfire grabbed Robin and followed her friends.

{That night}

Robin looked up at the stars. He was on top of the tower trying to figure out what Slade had meant. 'I suppose the trip is probably going to Gotham.' He thought. 'Perhaps its time that I visited my home again.'

"Robin?" asked a girl's voice from behind him.

"Hey, Star." Robin said smiling. Starfire he realized looked very nervous for some reason. She had for the rest of the afternoon been with Raven in her room.

"Robin, I have been thinking. I like you as a friend... but after talking with friend Raven, I think that I might like you more then a friend." Robin sighed inside. He knew that Star liked him better then a friend, but he also knew that he couldn't return those feelings. He didn't love Starfire.

"Robin, I love you."

"Star..." Robin said carefully. "I'm sorry, but I don't love you." Starfire dropped considerably. "I like you Star, but only as a friend." He got up and walked past the distressed alien princess.

"I think I'm going back to Gotham. Just for a little while." He added when Starfire became even more depressed. "Tell the others I'll be back soon." With that he walked back into Titan Tower and down to get his R- cycle.
