Chapter 12: Worst Fears Part 2

Robin looked around in the darkness. He stood up, and tried to see any shape of form around him. He tried to go forward, but ran into a wall. He turned, and suddenly a light came on. He realized, he was in a church. People filled the pews through out it; so many in fact that people were standing out the door. Robin suddenly got a surprise as he saw himself in the front row, with a sad face on his face.

"What's going on?" he said to himself, and turned to the alter. There were 3 coffins arranged next to it, each bearing the Titan logo. Robin stepped close, to see a name written one each one: Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire.

Robin let out a gasp. A tear dripped down his face, and he turned to the sad self. Batman sat next to him now, and said something to him. Robin wanted to know, but he couldn't hear it. A sudden flash of lightning made Robin jump, and land near a corner. He stepped on something with a crunch. He looked down to see a newspaper that was carelessly discarded. He picked it up to see the headline. A new wave of sadness and horror washed over him, as he read the bold print: CRIMINAL MASTEMRIND "SLADE" SUSPECTED IN MURDER CASE. Robin continued to read. A certain passage struck him hard, and more tears began to stream from his eyes. The paper read, "At 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3, 2005, the Teen Titans fell into a trap set by the notorious mastermind, Slade, while investigating a robbery at the Wayne Enterprises office in the heart of Jump City. Beast Boy was killed on site, by a large creature of some kind. Raven tried to save him, but was also taken out. Robin and Starfire took it out, but Starfire was badly injured. Robin and her went to the hospital, where Robin stayed with her, until she died from her injuries at 9:30 that night. Slade is being searched for at this time, but no one can find where he hides. The funeral is..." it went on, but Robin dropped it.

"This...can't be real," Robin said, clenching his fist with one hand, and the other hand pulling off his mask, to wipe his eyes out, "No, it cannot end like this. Starfire and I...we had a future. We loved each other. God, why!"

Suddenly, a call came out from somewhere deep in his mind. It was faint, but he could hear it.

"It is not real! Wake up Robin!" the voice yelled, quietly at first, then louder.

"Not real?" he said, looking around, "No, it can't be real! I won't let it!" he yelled, and suddenly, was in the vast, twisted world that was Raven's mind.

"Yes, it worked!" Beast Boy said somewhat happy, "I hoped I would get through to you."

"Thanks," Robin said, and smiled.

They both looked over to a medium-sized black orb.

"Starfire's in that," Beast Boy said.

"Then lets get her out," Robin said, and walked toward it.

(Next chapter is the same time as the others, but Starfire this time. It will be up later tonight, if I don't go anywhere with my friends. Anyway, glad people still like it, and I'll update again soon.)
