Hey Everyone I'm back! I hope you enjoy the final part of the Dark Robin Trilogy. So without further ado lets begin.
Chapter one Engagements.
In Gotham Maximum Security Prison sat one Dr. Julian Basher. She hadn't changed much in the last eight years since she started serving her life sentence for illegal genetic experimentation. She spent all her days in her cell in solitary confinement.
All around the small cell the walls were littered with newspaper clippings. Most came from the JUMP CITY GAZETTE. Others came from the GOTHAM TIMES. The collection dated back eight years ago. All the articles had one thing in common. They were either about Robin, Slade or both.
Julian's brushed back a strand of her auburn hair from her face. Her cool gray eyes never left her tiny computer screen. On the outside it looked like a compact but in reality in was a very powerful mini data computer known as a compowder. She was reviewing some files on it when she heard the evening guard coming with her meal. She closed the device and hid it under her pillow quickly.
"Sonya. How nice to see you again. What have you brought for me to eat today?" Julian asked casually.
Sonya smiled at Julian. Sonya was 5'3 and 165 lbs. She had shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes. She had developed some sort of relationship with this prisoner over the last eight years. She intrigued her.
"I brought you chicken, mash potatoes, corn, and milk. Sorry they were all out of sushi. Ha ha ha!" Sonya laughed softly. She stopped when she noticed Julian glaring at her. "Sorry. I don't get you Julian. You've been in here for eight years exactly today. Yet you still believe your fiancé will rescue you. Aren't you getting your hopes up?" Sonya asked
"You don't know my fiancé at all Sonya. He will rescue me, don't you worry one little bit. My waiting in this dump is almost at an end. Tonight I shall be free once again. In fact here comes my ticket out of here." Julian said calmly.
A low rumble filled the corridor. The entire cell broke began to shake. Sonya grabbed the food cart while Julian just sat on her bed completely unphazed by what was going on.
"What in the world is going on?!" Sonya screamed. Suddenly the wall behind Julian burst open. In walked several Sladebots. They stunned the frightened Sonya before she could call for back up. They next escorted Julian outside to a waiting transport. "About time you metal heads got here."
As the transport made its escape the entire prison fired on it. They were not about to let her get away. Slade's white combat drones that pulverized their forces stopped them. Julian got away in the confusion. An all points bulletin was put out.
Two hours later Julian arrived at a sprawling country estate just outside the Jump City's limits. This place had 250 acres and was protected by a force field.
The transport stopped at the front doors. A Sladebot opened the door and let her out. "Thanks for the lift boys. I can take it from here." She entered the mansion and was greeted at once by Slade. "Welcome to your new home my love."
Just before they kissed she slapped him. "Took you long enough. I've been waiting eight years in prison for you to spring me. Do you know how bored I got?"
"I'm sorry my dear. I've been busy. These last eight years have been horrible without you. And the boy still escapes my grasp." Slade started to explain.
"Yes I know all about him. I've been studying him. What were you thinking moving ahead of schedule! You've jeopardized the everything." Julian shouted.
"I realize that I may have been presumptuous. But rest assured after our wedding tonight everything will be better. Come let us be wed." Slade said. The two left the room heading towards the chapel.
Meanwhile back in Titans Tower Starfire had gathered her friends together to make an important announcement. "As you know I am the reigning Empress of my planet." Starfire began.
"Please don't tell me that we have to go back to Tameran." Raven pleaded
"Yeah I couldn't figure out what was a bathroom there!" Beast Boy complained.
"Friends please, it's not like that! My nanny the Acting Emperor has simply informed me that I need to choose a husband so when I turn twenty five and return to take the throne I can produce an heir." Starfire said hurriedly.
"So your betrouved again?" Cyborg asked glancing at Robin. After the last nine months he didn't no how much more change his friend could take.
"No not exactly. According to my laws I am allowed to choose my husband. That is because I am the Empress." Starfire said nervously.
She walked over to the couch were Robin was sitting. She bent down so she was faced to face with him. "My nanny sent my mother's ring to me. It is a custom on my planet for our husbands to wear rings given to them by their wives. They are tokens of love and symbols of happiness. Robin I give you my mother's ring because I wish you to be my husband." Starfire said as she presented a gold ring with a huge emerald on it.
Everyone gasped in surprise. They knew that Starfire loved Robin and vise versa but this was a huge step. Marriage at their age? I mean could it actually work?
"Starfire I be honored to marry you. But don't you think were a little young? I mean were only sixteen years old!" Robin said.
"That's why we will wait until were old enough by your laws. I want our marriage to be a compromise of our worlds. So until then will you be my bethroved Robin?" Starfire asked
Nodding his head Robin let her slip the ring on his finger. He smiled and stood up. "We are now one. Nothing can ever break our bond." Robin told her.
"Dudes this is so cool! I say this calls for a tofu dinner feast!" Beast Boy said racing towards the kitchen island.
"Wait a minute. We are not having tofu!" Cyborg said as he raced after him
Raven stood up and simply said. "Congratulations." She then went over to join the boys.
Starfire took Robin's hand in hers and squeezed. She glanced up at him smiling. She knew in her heart that she had found her soul mate. "I love you Robin." She whispered.
" I love you too. Come on lets eat." Both walked over to get something to eat. Neither realized life was about to get a whole lot worse.
