Robins POV

It was late when I emerged back at the tower. My shoulder ached, but that didn't matter to me. My only concern was for the safety of my friends. We had all underestimated Terra. Who she was… What she was capable of….

Cyborg…Beast Boy …Raven… …Starfire. Please be okay.

The tower was empty.

I'm the only one left.

No. I shook my head. They would be here. You'll see! I didn't know who I was talking to. But I sat down on the sofa in the dark and there I waited….

No one's coming.

Yes they are! I closed his eyes and pulled my legs closer to my chest.

Its dawn. No one's coming.

I opened my eyes in time to see the sun rising. The thin pink slip of light washed across the city. Which was strangely quiet…especially after what had happened the night before.

How can everyone go about their daily lives when the Titans are dead?

The Titans are not dead! The words crawled weakly from my mouth.

If they were alive, they would have been here by now!

I had to prove to myself that my friends would come back. Taking my communicator from my pocket, I switched it on. Letting the red light blink, I placed it down on the table in front of me, awaiting a reply.

By nightfall the city completely belonged to Slade. I watched it fall from the tower. I knew I should have tried to stop Terra, but I didn't. What if they tried to contact me if I did? What if they're laying unconscious somewhere? What if they're injured? They need me, I have to find them!

They're gone.

NO! I howled. Without thinking I tossed the table at the T.V. A shower of glass cut deep into me. But I didn't care. I tore my cloak from shoulders and let it drop to the floor, before I ran out of the room.

Slade.

I'll kill him. My mind raced with everything he had ever done to me.

Forced me to be his apprentice. Tried to kill my friends. Made us believe Terra was our friend. Destroyed the Titans…

"I will make you pay," my voice sounded so distance. I looked around my room. Rage roared from within. In seconds I had smashed everything I had ever held dear. Slade's mask, shattered into a thousand pieces. I took off my costume. I knew they would be against this decision. They'd tell me to be strong. To continue fighting for justice. I could almost hear Starfire's voice. Telling Robin not to give up.

Robin has died with his friends...

To get my revenge, I couldn't do it by myself. I would have to get help. Luckily I knew who I could turn to. Beast Boy would never forgive me. That still didn't stop me.

Robin's dead. All the Titans are.

Let Slade think he's won. Let him think his little apprentice has been successful. I'll be back. And when I do Slade will pay for what he has done. That's a promise…..
