7. Lost Star.

He couldn't believe what he had done…

Now you really are a murderer.

The gun slipped from this gasp. Dick shook his head.

She deserved to die after what she did to my friends.

Staring down at the lifeless body, Dick felt strange. Not because he felt guilt, but because he didn't. He didn't feel anything.

What have you become?

The words haunted Dick. He slammed his fist into the wall.

Slade! This was all his fault. He would pay.

Gemini was still standing besides the boy. Her eyes careful glinted at the body and then back at Dick, whose face was covered with the shadows, so that she couldn't make out his expression. She smiled to herself.

"I never knew you had it in you." she hissed. Dick glared at her, but said nothing.

Back the tower, Dick was trying to track Slade signal using Terra's earpiece. But he was having no luck. Of course not! Slade was always two steps ahead of him. He growled loudly before slamming his computer into the wall.

"You are far too tense!" a voice whispered from behind Dick.

"I'm not in the mood." Dick stared at Gemini who pouted.

"Oh honey, your never in the mood!" she laughed.

Dick turned away. "What are you still doing here? You've got your revenge on Beast Boy. Why don't you just leave."

"Is that any way to talk to your partner?"

"Your not my partner!" Dick declared.

Gemini sniffed. "Face it. You need me! If it hadn't been for me, you'd still be out there battling that blonde girl, and you'd probably be losing."

"I'm the one that shot her aren't I?"

"Yeah, but I soften her up for you!" Gemini winked at him. "So you don't like blondes, what do you like?"

Dick sat nothing. Gemini crept towards him.

"How about Goths?" Raven's dark form glittered in front of him. Dick pushed her aside, and charged down the narrow hallway. But Raven followed. She took hold of his hand. As Dick spun round he saw the slender form of Starfire standing before him. Her large green eyes bore into him, eclipsed by her long flowing red locks.

"Robin."

Dick felt his old feelings returning. Things he felt when he was Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, surrounded by his four friends. Not this shell of a person.

"Starfire." his hand stroked her cheek.

"It's alright Robin. I'm here. I'll take care of you." the girl smiled.

Dick's joy was shattered when he remember the truth. "No!" he shoved Starfire into the wall. "Your gone. Your never coming back!" He raced to his room, slamming the door behind him, collapsing in a flood of tears.

"Dick." the familiar voice startled him. He looked up to see the man dressed in black hovering outside his bedroom window.

"I think we need to talk." said Batman.
