Robin heard everything Cyborg had said. He was shocked to hear him crying.........Cyborg never cried.........never. He felt his hand being held but he wasn't able to squeeze back. He wasn't able to open his eyes. He was floating in the middle of nowhere. There was darkness on one side and a bright white light on the other. He knew that if he drifted toward the light he would leave the living world and if he went into the darkness he would wake up in the tower.

The truth is that he wanted to die. He caused so much pain for the people he loved. He was through with this world.........he was through with the pain and suffering. He drifted off to the light feeling his soul being pulled from his body.

~*~*~*~*

Cyborg awoke to a long resounding beep from the heart monitor. The green lines were no longer steadily moving up and down but were a straight line. Cyborg knew that meant Robin's heart had stopped.

"No."

He hit a red button on the wall and Raven came running into the room.

"Oh god no!"

She grabbed the defibrillators from the crash cart by the bed, removed all the cloth from his chest, charged the defibrillators, yelled "Clear" and then tried shocking Robin's heart back into beating. He convulsed and then she looked over to the monitor.........nothing.

"Clear," she said again. He convulsed again.........still nothing.

"Come on Robin," she muttered. "Don't do this we need a leader."

"Clear," she said once again and the shock went through his body. He convulsed again and there it was.........a heartbeat. It was slow but it was there.

"Thank God," she whispered. "Don't do that again." Then she turned to the frightened Cyborg. "I'm going to stay. You can too but I want to make sure that he has made up his mind to live."

Cyborg didn't know what she meant but he nodded and said, "Alright I'm staying too."

And for the first time he smiled at Raven and she smiled back.

~*~*~*~*

"Go on Cyborg," Raven said shoving his towards the door. "You've been here for four days. Go and rest. I'll keep him safe."

"Ok Raven," Cyborg said walking out the door. "You'll call me if anything happens right?"

"Of course Cyborg."

Cyborg walked out of the room and the door shut behind him. Raven walked slowly back to where Robin lay. She sat down in the chair by the bed and started to meditate, but she found it impossible after awhile. Something was disturbing her thoughts.

"Think louder Robin," she muttered her eyes still closed. "I can almost hear you."

"Let me die........." his thoughts said inside her head. "Please Raven you could do it and say it was an accident. Just let me die. Why did you save me before? Raven if you're my friend kill me please."

"Robin we need you. You can't die. Beast Boy needs your guidance, Cyborg needs someone to fight with, Star needs to talk to you.........she has something to say to you.........even I need you.........yea me the loner. Robin you can't expect me to kill you. We all need you not just as a leader.........but as a friend. You have to come back. We need you."

The tears came without warning. She hadn't cried for so long. She wasn't sure what happened or why she couldn't strop the tears. She took hold of his hand.

"Robin you mustn't leave us. You must come back.........you must........."

She then lost all telepathic communication with him.

~*~*~*~*

'Whoa Raven's crying for me?' Robin thought. Now Robin knew he had to go back. He had to.

He drifted back towards the darkness and knew that it was ok. It was all going to be ok and as close to normal as possible.

~*~*~*~*

Ok how was that? I know he thinks everything is going to be ok but is it? Hmmmm............I don't think so!!! There is going to be another big conflict and none of the Titans will be able to save Robin............hee heee heeee I am evil............muhahahaha!! Oh well.........I'm not saying exactly what is going to happen but it has to do with the poison Slade used on him. Stay tuned to find out folks!!!
