The other Titans were coming to. They walked over to the damaged T car were Jinx was being held. The enchanting sorceress was still trying to break free but to no avail.
"You all are going to pay for this. Once I get free you'll all be sorry." She yelled in frustration.
"Please, like I'll be sorry in the morning for capturing a weakling like you. Now there's some information we like that you have so you better start talking." Dark Robin told her pushing her into the car.
"Hey take it easy. That's not how we get information from people." Cyborg told him concerned for Jinx's well being.
"Look do you want to find your friend or not? Now lets begin. Where is the new HIVE headquarters?" Dark Robin demanded
"I'm not saying." Jinx said.
"Next question what is Brother Blood doing to Robin?" Beastboy asked annoyed
"He's using a new device on him. It must be working if Dark Robin is suffering like he did a few minuets ago." Jinx laughed
"A device? What kind of device you sorceress?" Raven asked
"He called it the Memory Extractor because it extracts memories and plays them back ten times worse then when you first experienced them."
"That would explain the pain Dark Robin has been feeling. We must destroy this device. Tell us where is Robin being held?" Starfire demanded
"Like I said before I'm not going to tell you." Jinx said. She glared at them all before she was slammed into the car again.
"I don't like your attitude lady. Now tell us where my other half is or suffer the consequences!" Dark Robin told her.
"You don't scare me. You need me to help you find your precious other half. Personally I don't see why you want to save your other half. Your much better off without him." Jinx told him
"Why I want my other half back is none of your concern sorceress. Now tell me where is HIVE HQ?" Dark Robin demanded fire a blast of heat beams at her. The beams singed her hair and she lost two inches.
"Hey calm down dude. No need to get worked up." Beastboy told him. He tried to pull him off her with Raven's help.
"Why stay with these weak minded goody goodies heh Dark Robin? You belong with us at the HIVE as our leader and Brother Bloods second in command." Jinx said trying to convince him.
"Be quiet you witch. Neither Robin shall ever betray us. Do I make myself clear?" Starfire said.
"If you trust him so much why do you treat him like a prisoner huh? I think you all hate him and want to see him die. Let me go and I can take this worthless piece of crap off your hands." Jinx offered.
"That's it I've had enough of you!" Dark Robin screamed lunging for her throat so he could strangle her. Right before he made contact with her Cyborg yanked her away. But in doing so he freed one of her hands.
"Cyborg I really do love you. Thanks a whole bunch." Jinx told him sending a huge hex downward knocking the Titans flat on their behinds. She finally managed to wiggle out of her coil. Bending down she kissed Cyborg on the lips and whispered "Bye bye my love." With a few flips she was gone.
"That's just great! Now what do we do? We can't track her at all and it's all your fault!" Raven yelled at Dark Robin barely containing her anger.
"Yeah if you hadn't been harassing her we might have got some answers out of her." Beastboy exclaimed.
"We don't go terriziong villains! Were not sickos. What is your problem man?" Cyborg asked frustrated that he had let Jinx escape
"Please no more yelling. Friends should never fight. This isn't solving anything. So lets take a deep breath and calm down." Starfire pleaded
"Its okay Star. I'm sorry if my methods are a little more drastic and harsher then you like but it was nessacery in order for us to get what we needed." Dark Robin calmly explained.
"What on Earth are you talking about man?" Cyborg asked his best bud's dark side.
"When Jinx kissed you she left her DNA pattern on you. If you touch your crystal to your lips they'll be able to home in on Jinx's genetic signature. We can find the HIVE and Robin no problem." Dark Robin explained to a bunch of clueless Titans.
"Sounds like a smart idea. Lets do it. Cyborg how long till the car is fixed?" Raven asked impatiently
"I can have my baby fixed in fifteen minuets."
"Good lets summarize what we know. Brother Blood who's using a memory extractor device is torturing Robin. Robin and Dark Robin have been separated for about an hour and forty-five minuets. We can find the HIVE using Jinx's DNA. Any questions?" Raven asked
They all shook their heads and got into the car. They zoomed off in a desperate hope to reach Robin in time. "You know Starfire you don't have to keep standing up for me. I can stand up for myself." Dark Robin said to her quietly.
"I didn't do it for you Dark Robin I did it for the team. In the future if you start to feel bad or something like you experience before start tell me okay?" Starfire told him
"Yeah I'll make sure to tell you I'm having an episode." Dark Robin replied sarcastically.
Meanwhile Jinx had finally made it back to the hideout. After quick glance to make sure no one was around she entered her password and descended into the HIVE HQ. "Hey guys what's up?" Jinx asked flippy.
"You know what's up missy. Did you get rid of those annoying pest or not because you sure as hell didn't bring back your target." Mammoth told her angrily.
"Yeah looks like you're a loser! Ha Ha." Gizmo laughed
"Shut up you two. I didn't get the job done but I think will get another chance. Lets go talk to the Headmaster and see what he thinks." Jinx commanded shoving past the two on her way to the elevator. The two boys glanced at each other and followed her down to the lower levels.
Brother Blood was adjusting the machine again. He wanted to be able to truly feel and experience Robin's memories. "This is truly a remarkable young man. His mind so complex, so developed. Learning about all his secrets is such a joy. Now time to see what else my little birdie hides away in his mind. You ready for our next session Robin? I'm sure Dr. Tompkins never did anything like this before."
"Bring it on. I've handled your other two intrusions into my mind. A third wouldn't be any problem." Robin said through gritted teeth. The truth was those sessions had drained him. His body was both physically and mentally exhausting him. He didn't know how much more he could take. But he couldn't give up. He had to keep up hope that Dark Robin had gotten the Titans.
"There's an old saying my boy. One does not truly know a man's pain until he knows his pleasures. I wonder what makes you feel pleasure." Brother Blood asked hitting the blue button.
Robin repressed a cry of pain as he felt his head exploded. There was a brief flash of light and suddenly he found himself on a Ferris Wheel.
"What in the world am I doing here?" He wondered. Looking around he couldn't see Brother Blood. But he could hear the sounds of the fair below and smell cotton candy. Glancing to his right he saw Starfire gazing at the fireworks. Suddenly it all fell into place.
"This was right before we met your sister! I was having the time of my life. You were talking to me about how amazing Earth was and I was thinking of who to get the nerve to kiss you." Robin exclaimed to a clueless Starfire.
She turned to him and smiled. "Glorious aren't they? What did you call them again? Fireworks was it?" Starfire asked curious as always.
"Yeah that's what there called. Here have some cotton candy. It's not like the last one you tried." He told her softly as he offered her the candy. She took some and ate it. Giggling at the taste she leaned back and looked at the fireworks.
"So this is what brings you pleasure. A simple pretty girl is what gives you pleasure? Why am I not surprised? If that's all that's holding you back we can surely change that can't we?" Starfire said turning to him her eyes glowing red.
"Starfire what's going on? Why are you acting like this?" Robin asked concerned. He gasped as Starfire form shifted and changed into Brother Blood. "YOU! HOW DARE YOU TRICK ME LIKE THIS?!" he roared.
"I didn't trick you. Your own mind provided the cover for me. I should have known a women is what brings you pleasure. Well soon that won't be the case." Brother Blood said disappearing.
Robin watched the scene dissolve around him. He fell into a black abyss as the Ferris wheel disappeared. "What is happening to me?" He screamed into the darkness as the world turned bright again. He was back in his cell still strapped to the table.
"Were far from done Robin. Just you wait and see. Now what do you three want?" an angry Brother Blood asked
"We want to know what do you need us to do. Jinx didn't succeed in her mission." Gizmo explained.
"Didn't she Gizmo. I thought you were a genius. If you take a look at the security monitors you'll find that the Titans have arrived on time. I plan for them to be here to watch the fall of Robin and the rise of Dark Robin." Brother Blood told the three students.
Way above them on the Earth surface the Titans had arrived at what appeared to be an abandon farmhouse. Cyborg had run geometric scan and discovered something was hidden beneath the barn. A quick scan had revealed a keypad hidden behind a door. Ripping it off a stairway appeared in front of them.
"I don't like this. It was way to easy." Raven said.
"Yeah shouldn't we have encountered some kind of trap?" Beastboy asked
"And here I thought you guys were morons." Dark Robin muttered underneath his breath.
"No matter if it is a trap or not we only have three hours left. Let us hurry and rescue Robin." Starfire told her friends and with that they all began to descend the stairs.
