Chapter 6 – Back to the Nest

"Man, this is bleak," Cyborg said as they passed their 200th cow. "I miss the city."

"There's such thing as a city?" Beast Boy asked, practically passed out on Raven's lap.

"I don't know anymore," Cyborg replied, hitting his head on the wheel in defeat. It beeped loudly, making an asleep Starfire jump up and scream, hitting her head on the roof.

"Ow," she said quietly. "Please, tell me we are there yet."

"I'm going to kill whoever taught her that annoying line," Cyborg grumbled as Starfire repeated the irritating "are we there yet" song.

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? When will be get there? When will we get there? How much longer? How much longer? I have to...." She was cut off as Beast Boy's Veggie Paradise cup hit her in the head, thrown by Raven's powers.

"Shut up before I throw something much larger," she said. Starfire blushed, embarrassed.

"I am sorry, but if someone would just answer the question...." Suddenly, Starfire was once again cut off, but this time not by Raven, but by the entire car being lifted off the road.

"Ahhh!" everyone screamed, unsure of what was going on.

"Yo! What the hell?" Cyborg tried opening his door, but an invisible force field seemed to be holding it shut. There was a maniacal cackle that could only belong to....

"Mad Mod?" He laughed again.

"'Ello my duckies, good to see you again!" Robin's mouth dropped open. How did he keep getting out of jail? Mod waved his (repaired) cane and the passenger door opened, making Starfire scream as she looked down below. They were high off the ground, and a fall could be devastating.

"Close the door, Star!" Robin said, worried of what might happen to her. As she reached for the door handle, Mad Mod was lifted into the air and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her out of the car so that she was dangling from his grip. She shrieked loudly as everyone gasped. Robin tried to open his door, but like Cyborg's, it was jammed shut. He kicked at it frustrated.

"Sorry, there, Robbie, but I heard from two troublemaking twins that the key to you is this pretty little 'un right here!" Mod said, gesturing to the hanging Starfire who found her flying power useless within the force field. "So I got to thinking, I did, and I thought that we might have a nice little trade. You remember the last time we met, doncha, govnah? I was having a real good time, I was, trying your youth on for size, and I found it fit me real well. So I was thinking we could trade the little lady for your youth." Starfire cried out in protest. "Aw, don't despair, love, I hear it's real fashionable nowadays for pretty young girls to hang on the arms of older men."

By this time, Robin had climbed over the back of Starfire's seat and before Mod could turn back to the car he had jumped out Star's open door and grabbed onto Mad Mod's cane. For a moment they had a power struggle, which Mod had to use both hands for. He let go of Starfire, who began to fall, crying out.

"Star!" Robin yelled, and in a moment of desperation, a well-aimed kick drove the cane into Mad Mod's chest, both breaking it and knocking the wind out of him. Robin, Mad Mod, and the T Car also started falling, the force field broken as well. Raven waited until Robin got to Starfire and grabbed onto her before using her powers to put the car and Titans safely on the ground. Mad Mod, however, fell flat on his face and groaned from the pain. A cow lumbered over to him and began to chew on his remaining white hair.

"You deserved that," Raven said, opening her door and getting out. "You guys alright?"

"Fine," Robin said, a bit coldly as he quickly set Starfire back on the ground. Star seemed surprised by the sudden lack of Robin's warmth. A groan came from Cyborg, still in the T Car.

"What?"

"Terra and Terran have moved again, and you'll never guess where they are now."

"Where?" Raven asked.

"Jump City."

"This is hopeless," Beast Boy groaned. "It's not even worth it!"

"No," Robin said suddenly. "It's not." Everyone looked at him, surprised. "Forget this. Forget all of this. No matter what we do, there are always obstacles, and it always ends up in disaster. And now I've endangered one of the team." He turned to Starfire. "Look, this isn't going to work out. I don't know what I was thinking starting a relationship with you. It was just stupid." Starfire's eyes began to shine with tears. Unable to take it, Robin walked away.

"Dude, man, where are you going?" Beast Boy asked, staring in disbelief.

"What is your problem?" Cyborg shouted after him. "Ever since this whole lead came up you've been acting like a dick." (Can you say innuendo?)

Robin laughed at Cyborg's allusion. But inwardly, he didn't feel like laughing. He felt like breaking into a million pieces. He was walking away from the best thing that ever happened to him, breaking both his heart and hers in the process. He was also making it impossible to stay in the Teen Titans, let alone be the leader. There was only one thing for him to do: go back to Bruce. He was screwing up too much as leader Robin. He was better as sidekick Robin. He continued walking away. Starfire flew after him, hurt and confused. She touched his shoulder.

"Robin...." He threw her off.

"Would you just leave me alone?" he shouted. "It's over, Starfire! Do you understand that? Over! No more you and me, no more me and the Titans, nothing! It's OVER!" He began to run.

"Robin!"

But he was gone.

Robin pulled out his telecom.

"Robin to Batman, Robin to Batman, over. This bird is flying back to the nest."

That was so depressing. Bad Robin! Bad!

Riles: Aww, I'm sorry you don't feel well, I hope you feel better soon! I need the ice cream bribes and death threats to keep me updating!

Sneak Peak: Robin and Bruce have a heart-to-heart.

Keep reviewing!
