Robin's POV

She's gone; dead. Another piece of my heart ripped out, shredded and thrown away. I don't know if I can take this pain, I think I was beginning to love Kat in a way that I had never loved before. My heart refuses to accept her death, but my mind replays the incident again and again. I've retreated into myself, I don't talk to the others, not that their talking much. We've all been like zombies, in a permanent state of shock. Katarina left the deepest impression of all the people that have ever come here; she made friends with all of us and trusted us unconditionally without even knowing us. Terra didn't do that, so it's was special. I, myself, seem to be the worst. I only come out of my room to eat and fight. And I only eat when the others force me too. I spend my days either furiously working, or watching the security footage of Kat's time here. She was so beautiful, her hair always shined in the light, and the sparkle in her eyes made me feel cared for, wanted, almost needed. When she was hurt I remember how she held on to me so tightly, not wanting to let go when she had to. I still remember the incredibly cute face she made when she hurled on my freshly polished boots, and the regret that crossed her entrancing features when the rest of the team came in hurt and swearing. I can recall her musical voice and sweet laughter in a second. And all of these recollections just make it even more painful, but I can't stop them from coming. Raven called Bruce, she thinks I need to talk, but I won't. For the past week I've been blocking the world out, but the world doesn't want to leave me alone. I lost it on one of our fights against Slade. Raven had to send me back to the Tower forcefully. Starfire is pretty pissed at me cause she thought I liked her, and BB and Cy are just wary of being near me. I can't take this, I need her so badly it's not funny.

Raven's POV

I know people come and go, and I shouldn't care, but Katarina's leaving was a scare. I don't think she's dead, but I know she's with my father. He won't like her. Robin's the bigger issue here. He's almost bordering on suicidal. Yesterday while fighting he pummeled one of Slade's messengers so badly the guy had to go to intensive care. He doesn't eat; I had to force food down his throat because he refused to eat for three days. If this gets worse we're going to lose him, and he's going to make us lose our minds. The rest are ok, everyone's in a daze, because when we returned to the tower after Katarina and her mother killed each other the disk she was so worried about sat on the kitchen table. I think that was the worst thing possible, it made Robin crack. He took the disk and used it as target practice, and then cried over what was left. None of Kat's things remain except for a dress and a pair of boxers and a tee shirt she borrowed from him; he's taken those in his room to. I have to go force feed him; he hasn't eaten in a day and a half. Let's hope things get better or else I might have to go home for a brief visit.

Cyborg's POV

Robin's bad, I mean really bad. I've never seen him like this, but then again he had a connection to Kat none of the rest of us had. I dunno what to say to him anymore. He's not himself, always tired, probably hasn't slept in two weeks, dunno what keeps him going. He's blocked all communication out, but he still fights. I wish he wouldn't, he needs time but he's not going to take it. Rob's fighting is filled with possibly the worst anger I've ever seen. A robber ended up in ICU along with one of Slade's messengers.... it was bad. I'm ok I guess. Kat was a sweet girl and all, but I never really connected with her, didn't have time. In three days, she came, tried to save us, and died for us. At least we think she's dead, I dunno anymore.

BB's POV

Kat's gone! I've cried, I'll admit it. She was the only one who laughed at my jokes and knew what they meant, and she loved my animal switches, and she never kicked me off the couch A/N If you guys watch Cartoon Network that'll be funnier to you. I miss her a lot, but because she died, Star and I have gotten closer. Star's having issues with her death, being an alien she doesn't understand Hell and Heaven, and doesn't accept death easily. Robin's the real worry though. He won't even talk to us. I've gotta go, Rae's trying to get Robin out so we can make him eat.

Starfire's POV

This "hell" that my friends speak of is most unenjoyable, much like the Tamaranian glock field I suppose. It has taken our dear friend Katarina, and in doing so left poor Robin broken in the heart. For a while I was worried he too was going to leave us and go to this "hell" but he has not, and Raven told me to go away. It is quite sad; I miss Kat and am unhappy that we could not go to the mall of shopping together. I must depart for Raven needs me to blow Robins door down again.

Robin's POV

The team doesn't understand. They never will. Kat's death is eating away at my heart; piece by agonizing piece.
