Chapter 4
Robin staggered towards the entrance of the tower and looked at it. It was destroyed, all the windows had been shattered and graffiti covered it's walls. He winced slightly as he pushed the huge metal doors and stumbled into the darkness of the tower. He lurched along the dark corridor until he found his way into the living area, he suddenly grabbed his head and screamed in pain as a barrage of memories flashed through his mind.
He saw himself enter the room and walk towards Raven, who was sitting on the couch coughing gently and watching a horror movie on TV.
"Hey Rae feel any better?" he asked as he stood behind her and wrapped his arms lovingly around her neck. Raven smiled as she turned round and kissed him.
"I am now" she smiled before she sneezed in his face.
"Thanks " he smiled as he wiped away her spit and looked at her.
"I could use some tissues" she said sheepishly as she wrapped her blanket around her. Robin simply bowed and headed towards the garage.
"Then tissues you shall my good lady" he smiled as he turned and looked at her, "Be back soon" he said as he grabbed his motorcycle helmet and headed towards the garage. Raven just sneezed again before she turned back and continued to watch the TV.
The crow landed on top of a nearby bookcase and squawked loudly as it watched Robin smash various objects in the room. He suddenly fell onto his knees screaming as even more memories flashed through his head.
He saw as Raven heard someone knocking on the front door.
"I can't believe he forgot his key" she sighed as she stood up and walked towards the door.
"Robin your such an….." she said but her sentence trailed off as a long haired figure pushed through the door and knocked her to the floor.
"Trick or treat?" smiled the figure as four more people appeared behind him and made their way towards Raven. She tried to use her powers to send them flying but she couldn't concentrate, her sickness made it hard for her to even do the simplest task with her dark powers.
"Aww look the little witch wants to play " smiled one of the figures as he watched Raven close her eyes and chant. He continued to smile even as he punched her, knocking her to the floor.
"Wow this is a nice house" smiled another one of the men as they entered the living area dragging Raven behind him by the hair, "But I say we redecorate" he smiled before he whistled. His fellow thugs laughed and cheered as they ran into the room and proceeded to smash anything they could get their hands on.
"Now how's about you tell me where your room is?" asked one of the men as he crouched down in front of Raven and grinned at her. He ran his hand along her chest and squeezed her right breast.
"Don't touch me!" screamed Raven as she glared up at him and spit in his face. The thug laughed as he wiped the mixture of blood and spit off his face.
"Aww she's got spunk this one does" grinned the man before he punched her again and kicked her in the ribs, Raven coughed as she slumped against the man's leg, "May I?" he asked as he looked up at the man holding Raven's hair.
"Be my guest" smiled the figure as he let go of Raven. His friend smiled as he picked her up and carried her down one of the corridors towards the nearest room. The rest of group smiled huge smiles as they followed after him and Raven.
His mind suddenly jumped into another memory and he saw himself re-enter the tower carrying a small plastic bag under his arm
"Raven you ok? "he called out as he saw the destruction in the living area. He suddenly heard her screaming and dropped the bag onto the ground.
"Raven?" he screamed as he ran in the direction of her screams. He pushed open the door to her room and saw her lying on the bed underneath a mysterious man, she looked badly beaten and had the top half of her clothes had been torn off revealing her breasts. He didn't have time to react as one of the figure's turned around and threw a knife at him, before he knew it he saw himself falling to the ground with the knife stuck in his chest.
"See ya!" cheered one of the men as they watched him fall onto the ground.
Robin ran through the tower and kicked down the door that lead to Raven's room and lay on the ground clutching his chest.
He listened and watched as the thugs took turns in raping Raven. He saw himself pull the knife out of chest.
"Raven" he gasped as he tried to claw over to him. One of the thugs felt him grab his leg and kick him in the face.
"Looks like lover boy wants more" he said as he kicked him again and again..
"Robin…help" coughed Raven as one of the thugs finished and looked at her. The thug slapped her across the face, busting open her nose.
"He can't save you now bitch" he said as he pulled out a knife and held it against her breast, "Nothing can" he smiled as he slashed at her with the knife. She screamed in absolute agony as the knife left several deep cut's in her upper body.
"That's right baby scream for me" he smiled as he continued to cut Raven. Raven screamed as she felt the knifes blade cut into her flesh. His fellow thugs watched and laughed as Raven squirmed underneath him.
"Leave her alone" coughed Robin weakly as he tried to stand up. The thug who had been kicking him looked down at him and whistled at two of his compatriots. They both smiled and laughed as they picked him up and held him in front of the whistling thug.
"Thank you boys" he said as he pulled out a pistol from his jacket.
Robin screamed in pain as he held his arms out wide and knelt on the ground.
"Don't worry about your bitch bird brain" said the knife wielding thug as he looked at him being held up by his fellow gang members, he licked his blade as the other thug pulled back the hammer of his gun, "we'll take good care of her" he smiled as he turned back to Raven and licked her face gently.
"This wasn't your day" smiled the man with the gun before he pulled the trigger.
Robin screamed as a bullet wound appeared on his upper back. Followed swiftly by another one right beside it. He screamed as he slumped forward but kept his arms held out wide at his sides.
He watched as the thug squeezed off another round before he whistled again and pointed at the window. The two thugs carried him over to the window and threw him out of it with sadistic glee.
"Hope you can fly" joked one of them as they watched Robin fall towards the ground.
Robin jumped back onto his feet and ran towards the window and grabbed hold of the frame and swung outside of it, the broken glass of the window dug deep into his hands. He whimpered in pain as he landed back inside the room and looked down at his hands, he was amazed to see that the wounds instantly healed over leaving no blood or even a scar. He looked up at the crow in amazement and held his hands up to it, the crow simply looked at him and squawked once again.
Cyborg wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked up at the sky, he cursed silently under his breath as he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Since when did you smoke?" asked his fellow officer as he stood beside him.
"Since Devil's Night" smiled Cyborg as he lit the cigarette and took a deep puff, "So what the locals say?" he asked as he blew the out some smoke and looked at his comrades note book.
"Nothing, there're all to scared to speak" replied the young man as he handed the black book to Cyborg, "Got any spare?" he asked as he pointed at the cigarette box in Cyborg's pocket.
"Here help yourself" replied Cyborg as he read through the notes on the pages of the book.
"Thanks man" smiled the cop as he took a cigarette and lit it up. Both of them stood there for what seemed like an eternity smoking away until the cop standing beside Cyborg coughed and dropped his cigarette.
"I never did like smoking anyway" he coughed as he stamped the cigarette bud out and looked up at the sky.
"Something tells me it's gonna be one of those nights" sighed Cyborg as he handed the book back to the young officer and walked towards his squad car.
"Where you going?" asked the officer as he watched Cyborg climb into the vehicle.
"To do my job take care of yourself man" smiled Cyborg as he pulled away and drove down the street away from the burning building. The officer saluted as Cyborg's car drove past him and disappeared into the city.
Robin walked over to Raven's desk and sat down on the chair facing it. He looked into the mirror and saw his own refection looking back at him. He smiled gently as he opened one of the drawers and looked inside of it, he saw a bunch of pictures underneath what looked like a silver hairbrush. He picked the brush up and grabbed his head as a new wave of memories flashed through his mind.
He saw Raven sitting at the desk as she brushed her hair gently with her silver hairbrush as he lay on the bed behind her watching her.
"Why bother?" he asked as Raven finished brushing her hair.
"Why bother what?" replied Raven as she turned on the seat and looked at him.
"Why bother brushing your hair, it looks beautiful no matter what happens to it" he replied as he smiled at her. Raven stood up and walked over to him, s smile was plastered across her face.
"Is that so?" she asked playfully as she lowered herself onto his lap.
"It is" replied Robin as he stared to tickle her. Raven laughed as he pinned her onto the bed and tickled her even more. She tried to fight back but his arms where to strong so she used her powers to hold him in the air.
"Hey no fair" complained robin as he looked down at her. Raven sat up and smiled at him.
"Alls fair in love and war" she smiled as she started to kiss him.
Robin dropped the brush onto the floor and reached into the drawer and lifted the pictures out of it. Each one of them was either a picture of him and her together, a picture of him or a picture of him standing beside the rest of the Titan's. Each picture he touched caused him flinch slightly as they made a different flash through his mind.
He saw him lying on the bed with Raven lying on top of him. He wasn't wearing his mask as he stroked her hair gently.
"I love you" smiled raven as she made herself more comfortable on his chest.
"Say it again?" he whispered as he stroked her hair.
"I love you" smiled Raven as she looked into his eyes. Robin smiled at her before he leant down and kissed her on the forehead.
He dropped the picture and looked at another one. It was a picture of them sitting at a table with a slice of pizza in their mouths.
He then saw Raven standing next to a burning pot in the kitchen, trying to put the blazing fire out. Beast Boy was running about like a headless chicken as he watched himself run over to Raven and threw a wet towel over the burning pot.
"Now what do we do?" asked Raven as she looked up at him.
"Pizza" he smiled as he threw his arm around her and walked out of the kitchen.
He threw the pictures onto the ground and looked into the drawer and lifted out a bridal magazine. He cried out in pain as yet another memory flashed through his head.
He saw Raven standing in her room in a beautiful white wedding dress with Starfire dancing around her, like a giddy school girl.
"Oh Raven you look beautiful" giggled Starfire as she danced around Raven. Raven smiled slightly as she looked at herself in her mirror.
"I hope he likes it" she said as she looked at her dress closely.
"I'm sure he will love it" smiled Starfire as she hugged Raven. Raven couldn't help but laugh s Starfire jumped around the room with her.
Robin screamed in agony as he slammed his head into the desk with incredible force. He looked up and saw Raven's unhappy mask hanging just beside the mirror. He gently brushed his finger against and recoiled again as a sudden memory ran through his mind.
He saw himself wearing the mask and sneaking up on Raven, who was lying on the bed reading what looked like a poetry book.
"Boo!" he said cheerfully making her jump slightly.
"You can be a real idiot sometimes you know" smiled Raven as she put her book down and looked at him, "And put that back it's my favourite mask" she said as she pretended to be upset at him.
"Fine by me little miss grumpy" he smiled as he returned the mask to it's original resting place. As soon as he had returned the mask to where it belonged he found himself being surrounded in a familiar black aura. Raven smiled as he drifted silently towards her.
"Your getting good at doing this" he smiled before she kissed him. He was suddenly released from his bindings and landed softly on the bed beside her. He gently forced her onto the bed and gently began unbuttoning her top. Raven smiled as she ripped off his shirt and kissed his chest. He continued to kiss and undress her until he had ran out clothes to take off.
"I love you Rae" he smiled as he looked at her naked form. Raven smiled up at him as she finished taking off his clothes.
"I love you to" she said as she pulled him into another passionate kiss.
He screamed as he opened his eyes and punched the mirror with all of his strength. The mirror cracked and some pieces of it fell onto the ground as Robin watched the cut's on his knuckles heal up. He raised his hand to his face and felt a single tear fall from his eyes.
"Raven" he whispered silently as he touched the surface of the mirror. He suddenly yelled in rage as he threw everything off the desk and reached for Raven's makeup kit. The crow watched as Robin opened the white foundation and rubbed it all over his face, save his eyes and mouth. He next grabbed Raven's black lip stick tube and used it to draw around his eyes, he glanced at the unhappy mask and drew thin vertical lines above and below both eyes. He then used the lip stick and used it to outline his lips as well as drawing curving lines from each corner of them. When he had finished he looked at himself in the destroyed mirror and smiled at the face that looked back at him. He stood up and left the room making the crow squawk loudly. He stopped outside his own door and pushed it open entered the wrecked room and headed straight for the wardrobe, he opened it ad pulled out a pair of black leather trousers and a tight fighting black long sleeve top. He took off the soaking wet trousers he was already wearing and put on the leather ones quickly and easily. He put the top on as he walked back into Raven's room, the crow squawked as it flew off it's perch and landed on Robin's shoulder. Robin walked towards the shattered window and looked out over the city, he showed no emotion as the lightening flashed across the sky, illuminating his ghostly white face. He watched as the crow as it took off into the night's sky and flew into the city.
