Throughout the end of December and beginning of January, a deep, thick snow continuously fell from the gray sky, covering Robin's dark world in a silent blanket of impending doom. (Amy's input: DOOOM!!! DOOOOOOOOOOM!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Ok, Ok, I'll stop!) The storming and snow made it impossible for Raven and Beastboy's funerals' to be carried out, so their bodies lay silently in the morgue, waiting to finally rest in peace. Robin continuously tried to convince himself that all of this was a nightmare, that when he woke up, the darkness would lift and his friends would still be alive, but deep inside his dread filled heart, he knew it was futile.
Cyborg knew of Robin's empty soul, and tried to cheer him up the best that he could, even though he too was depressed, sometimes at night when he looked over at the panel controlling his heart and lung functions, he just wanted to pull the plug, let himself die. But he knew he couldn't. He and Robin were the only ones left. It was sure to him now that whoever the killer was had it out for the Titans. He knew that in time, there would only be one Titan left... and then the legacy would end.
Robin walked along the sidewalk, his hands jammed in his pockets, Cyborg following behind him. An eerie sensation washed through Cyborg's robotic body... he knew he was being watched.
Destiny crept along the ally-ways and streets, following Robin and watching him closely, he was in pain, he was upset... no, he was in agony, and he was numb, too sad to be sad, to emotional to feel emotions. Destiny had experience that many times before, she had laid awake too many nights in a row, emotionless tears running down her face.
"He'll never have to feel this way again," She murmured, "He'll have me... and I'll have him. We'll comfort each other."
'But he doesn't know me...' An annoying little voice nagged in her head, 'He doesn't know me and I don't know him. And even if I did, he would never forgive me for the things I've done to his friends... just like I never forgave Kevin for what he did to my parents... what he did to me...'
"That was the PAST!!! Kevin didn't even have a reason to kill my parents. Just because they said we couldn't be together... I never loved him anyway!" Destiny hissed.
'I never loved Kevin, Robin never loved me. I killed Kevin, Robin will kill me.'
"This is different!" Destiny whispered.
'I see no difference.'
"IT IS!!!" Destiny wailed, her voice echoing through the streets.
Cyborg whirled around as a girl's voice was heard wailing through the streets, "IT IS!!!"
"Did you hear that?" He asked, catching up with Robin, his eyes wide.
Robin looked up at him, a blank expression on his face. "Hear what?" he asked, hoarsely.
"Nothing." Cyborg said, shaking his head. 'I'm getting paranoid...' he thought bitterly. He looked down at his arm panel to check his vital statistics, he scanned down until "Brain activity" popped up in neon green letters. "Every thing checks out to normal..." he muttered, "but then why would I feel like I'm being watched..." He looked around, if the killer was here, than maybe he could stop death in it's tracks, make sure at least some of the Titans survived...
Robin's mind was swirling with blank, meaningless thoughts, his body an empty soul. He just didn't care anymore. He couldn't care anymore. Starfire was the one he had loved and now she was gone... Beastboy had been there for him, helped him cheer up... Raven had helped him let go, but now they were all gone, there was no one left.
'Why couldn't I have died first?' He thought bitterly, 'Why do I have to suffer? I would be better off dead.' "Better off dead..." He muttered, kicking at the ground bitterly.
Destiny walked slowly behind Robin and Cyborg, smiling softly to herself. Once Cyborg was killed, Robin would be all hers. She gasped as Cyborg whirled around and caught her eye. She held his gaze, her heart pounding through her chest... what if he exposed her? He turned back around quickly and started muttering to himself.
"Green eyes... green eyes..." Cyborg muttered, he knew it all fit in some how... 'what if,' he thought, 'It's not a strange serial killer, but instead someone who has a specific goal... A reason to kill the Titans...' he began to count off dead people on his hands, "Let's see... First it was Starfire, who was closest to Robin... Then it was Amy and Caitlin, close to Robin and Beastboy... then Beastboy, but the poison was meant for Raven, and Raven was close to Robin, for helping him let go, and Beastboy..." He gasped, "I've got it!" He yelled! "Robin, I've got to go... "He was pretty sure who did it, but he had to check the logs... he had to go back to the tower and check. As he ran towards the tower, he didn't see the green-eyed figure that followed him. He didn't know he was about to die.
