I just wanted to thank Yoor Ass, because hearing that you suck just because you wrote something different from what the other thinks, it's always beautiful. Thanks!

"Robin..."

Starfire's voice was full of desperation and anxiety, but also contained all the trust she had in him: she was still hoping that Robin, with a touch of his magic Tae-Bo staff could fix everything. Robin looked at her and asked himself how he could say to that poor heart what happened, how he could say her that one of her friends was now in a cold cell of the obituary, while other two of her most loved friends were in jail accused of the murdering of five people? Robin just stared at the wall, hoping that Starfire would have found an answer by herself.

"Star..."

This one was Cyborg, the last titan in the tower. He already knew something, heard from some little computer installed somewhere in his body.

"Cyborg... Where are our friend? They haven't came back yesterday... I'm so worried for them... you know what's happened?"

"Star... yes, I know but I wish to not know anything..."

"So tell me! Where are they? Why you keep this silence with me?"

"Starfire... they're in the hospital now... but we can't go there because... because..."

"They're accused of the killing of five people... And Terra is died..." said Robin, surprised by his coldness. Starfire just looked him and took her head between her hands and closed her ears, like if she ignored the information, the world would have restarted like yesterday. Robin and Cyborg look to each other but did nothing, because they knew that she needed some time for win the pain inside her head. Robin decided to shake off from his shoulder the burden of the conversation with the major and said:

"Today the major has called... he said that the police is doing an investigation upon us all, and I think that he wants us out of his city..."

"What?" shouted Starfire "we saved this city so many times and now we're thrown away like broken toys? Are you kidding?"

"I wish I could, Star, I really wish it..."

Days passed and Raven and Beast Boy started to nurse back to health in the hospital. However, the Titans couldn't meet their wounded friends, because police thought that they may have planned an escape plan together; so the few news about the two imprisoned titans were the only ones that Robin found in Internet or in newspapers. The public opinion had now no doubt about the guiltiness of the two Titans, and there has been several manifestation of people exalting the Titans leaving from the town. All of a sudden, the protector of the city were the great menace of ever, and for a short time, some folk in TV advanced the proposal of offering clemency to Slade in exchange of the total destruction of the Teen Titans. The proposal died immediately; but not in all the minds. Finally, arrived the moment of the departure of Raven and Beast Boy from the hospital. They were escorted by a hundred of cops, the whole Jump City department, but they were there more to protect the titans from the rage of the crow, than to avoid their escape. Also because the two titans were two ghost of their precedent aspect; Starfire, Cyborg and Robin were outside the hospital, hoping to exchange few words with their friends, but what they saw frozen the blood in their veins: Raven was paler than usual, and her blue eyes just stared in a far point, without really seeing anything. Beast Boy seemed to have lost all he had inside of him: he had opened his heart to a girl and she had betrayed him, and she had also tried to kill him. And he had killed her. He had killed the girl he loved. They didn't even notice their friends, who were shouting and trying to reach them; Raven and Beast Boy just entered in the police car and disappeared between the insults of the crowd. The three titans were now destroyed deep down in their soul. Their friends were suffering and they could do nothing for them, just look. Robin hated feeling powerless, he wanted to made a plan, he wanted to free the titans and then, with them, find a way to prove their innocence. Starfire, like if she was reading his plans in his mind, put an hand around Robin's wrist, to attract his attention, and then shook sadly her red head.

"This time we have to handle this thing alone." Said Starfire, with tears filling her eyes.

"You're right... we can prove their innocence, I believe in them... Titans! Go!"

Robin's shout attracted the attention of the crowd around them, that had barely seen them before.

"Where? To a new massacre?" asked ironically an unknown voice from the secure shelter of the crowd. Robin ignored the voice, like the others, but deep inside he felt sadness, for what they have became in the mind of the people. They slowed moved back to the titans tower, when a rock hit the head of Cyborg. He turned, shouting, and ready to face every enemy in front of him, with his blaster cannon, but all he saw was a crowd, and every person had a stone in the hand.

"Go away from this town, scum!" said someone, and the rocks started flying. Cyborg succeed in destroying most of the rocks with his cannon, and Robin and Starfire helped him, but a last rock hit Starfire in her forehead. She faint to the ground, and remained there. Robin immediately checked her wrist, and found with relief that she was still alive. But Cyborg's rage growth and he pointed his cannon towards the crowd, and he was about to shoot when a staff moved his arm, and the shoot hit nothing but air. Cyborg turned his head and saw Robin, who was helping Starfire to stood up. The look of the leader and the metal man met, and Robin shook his head. And for the time, Cyborg saw a tear running down Robin's face and falling on the ground. Then Robin said, in a voice full of sadness:

"Don't care about them... Let's go back home.. And let's try to not become what they think we are."

And they walked slowly back to the titans tower, carrying Starfire, who was still unconscious.
