After Raven interferes with Robin's mission, they have a fight. Robin soon learns that there truly is a price, whether good or bad, for everything. But after making a stupid move, Robin may make the biggest mistake of his life that may cost him that...
I opened the door to the factory. "S...Slade?" I asked to the empty room full of anguish, agony, despair, and a life of sorrow. I heard footsteps running away into darkness. "Slade, don't worry...I am here to help you. It's okay..." I whispered into portals of new depravity, torment, and torture.
I heard silent screams of pain and suffering, whimpers of grief and remorse echoing through the portals. "Slade," I murmured, cautiously walking towards a figure, it turning to me. "I'm here to help," I said before he ran. He stood for a while, afraid. I stepped towards him, as he took a step back. "Go away. Leave," he replied, annoyance in his voice. I wasn't going to. "Slade, I want to know what happened, why you saved me." Still, he didn't answer.
He was wounded on his arm, which was gushing out his spirit in a sticky red ghost as it poured onto the bloodstained concrete. I step closer, but he dare not move. I made another cautious step, and then another, each one becoming more cautious. I made my way to his wound, helping him bandage the gash.
I wanted more than ever to ask why he had saved me, but I could not find the courage to. "Why did you save me, Slade?" I finally inquired Slade. I hadn't got the courage to say it, but it was thought through words. He didn't give a reply. He walked over by a gear, and drew his pole. It was surrounded by a black force field, then broke in half. He was then lifted and thrown into darkness. I began to run after him as I was lifted out the window. I hit my head on the concrete window seal.
Screams blurred my thoughts and smeared my mentality. They yelled silently for help, for help from the flaming pits of life, of death, of Hell. But they weren't just any screams. They were silent screams. My screams.
Light flooded my eyes, as words blared over the screams. "Robin? Are you okay?" Raven asked over the commotion. "I was fine until you came," I sneered. "I saved your tail. Slade was about to strike! I'm your friend, Robin, I-" I interrupted her. More of exploded. "Well, what's the point of having friends if all I do is pay for it?! For years I've been paying for friendship, and I'm sick of it!" I turned and ran, tears glistening in a trail following me, and across my fluorescent cheeks, scarred with the past, and bruised with memories. I heard Raven running after me, yelling, "Robin, wait!". I ran, two teardrops shedding from my eye and falling on her cheek. Wait," I heard her whisper as I ran through the doors of Titan's Tower forever.
