Ahhh, now I see how much I needed to type.

Since chapter 1 was so short, I'm updating really soon.

And I've combined chapters so they will be longer. This means that chapter 1 and one other will still be shorter… though you didn't need to know that….

Moving on…

The story gets better from here on out. I promise!
OH! I also forgot to mention that almost everything that is italicised and in 'single quotes' is a characters thought.

Disclaimer: Teen Titans rocks! But it definitely wouldn't rock as much if I owned it so be grateful I don't!

Though I do not profess to be great, I do not profess to suck either.

I'm Not Worth It

(chapter 2)

Cinderblock vaulted from the rooftop and slammed into the ground creating a huge dent. He cocked his arm back and punched Cyborg in the face so hard, it made him fly back full force into Raven. "Oh, shit…" was all she could get out before she was crushed between him and a tree. Cyborg peeled himself off of her and helped free her from a branch, "You're gonna pay for that!" she growled before she wrapped that same tree in a translucent black sheath and ripped it from the ground. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she yelled as she swung the tree. Like a bat to a ball, it connected with Cinderblock's head and knocked him sideways.

"Titans Go!" Robin yelled after Raven struck. He ran forward and whipped out his Bo staff. He stabbed Cinderblock with one end then swung it around to fully connect with the side. He turned to do a roundhouse kick to Cinderblock's gut, but was stopped mid kick when Cinderblock grabbed his foot and flung him backward into the air. He was saved from incurring large amounts of pain by Starfire, who scooped him up right before he hit the ground. "Thanks Star," he breathed as he readied himself for another strike. "Let's drop a bomb on him." Starfire giggled as she launched Robin toward the earth. "Yaaaaaaaaah!" he hollered as his foot connected squarely with Cinderblock's face. "Alright!" He shouted in triumph. His joy was short-lived however as Cinderblock recovered quickly.

"Beast Boy! I need a distraction!" he called as he reached for his grappling hook.

"Uhh…kinda can't right now Rob!" He heard Beast Boy retort.

Robin whipped around, "What do you mean you can't?" He stopped abruptly, after it registered that Beast Boy and the others were otherwise occupied with Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo. He hadn't even noticed that they had come as backup. 'This is so not good.' He turned back just in time to dodge a downward jab. Instead it connected with the ground leaving another large depression. "Guess I've got you all to myself then," he said halfheartedly and began again to spar with Cinderblock.

He landed a few lucky punches, but so did Cinderblock. Robin tried to aim low in order to knock him over, but he miskicked and slipped under the stone beast's left foot. He heard a rib crack as Cinderblock began to squash him like an unwanted insect. He screamed in agony as he felt his body give out. He would have suffered even more broken bones if Starfire hadn't come to his rescue again. She threw starbolt after starbolt with such rage that one actually bore a small hole through Cinderblock. When he finally lifted his foot off of Robin, Starfire quickly grabbed him and flew him to safety.

He could barely speak and he couldn't see anything. His lungs were badly damaged and his mask was covered in blood from a gash in his head. 'I have to tell her now!' He thought desperately. "Starfire!" he gasped as he tried to take in more air. "Star, I'm…" but Starfire interrupted him.

"Robin! Do not speak. You are too badly injured. I must get Raven." With that she darted off. In a matter of seconds Raven was on her knees next to him. She tore what was left of his shirt off so that she could better concentrate her energies on his wounded chest.

"Do not move!" She warned. Then she became silent. He heard her suck in air as she winced from the amount of pain that she was taking upon herself. In a few minutes time he could feel the air rushing back into his lungs; his ribs stopped throbbing. Even the gash on his head stopped stinging. He wiped the blood off of his mask and rose quickly, just in time to see Raven fall to the ground. He had never seen this happen. She'd healed him before, but it was just some cuts or maybe a sprained wrist and she'd walked away like nothing had happened. "Raven!" he cried as he slid next to her. She showed no signs of movement. He grabbed her and cradled her in his arms. "Raven, no! Please be ok," he whispered. He pulled her closer. "You didn't have to do this Raven. Not for me, I'm not worth it." As he bent to kiss her forehead in a final effort to wake her, he noticed her chest rise and felt her body stir. "Raven!" he uttered softly. Then he hugged her gently, "Thank God. I don't know what I, what we would have done without you."

She half smiled as she looked up at him, "Don't give up on me yet, Boy Wonder." She stood up and straightened out her cloak. "Let's go and be careful. I don't want to have to do that again."

"I don't want you to either." He said seriously. They took one last look at each other before charging back into the fray.

They returned just in time. Gizmo and Jinx were dismantling Cyborg, Beast Boy was literally getting run over by Mammoth, and Starfire had taken Robin's place in the fight with Cinderblock. She was noticeably doing the best of the three, but she really hadn't done any extra damage since she had rescued him.

Raven lifted Gizmo off of Cyborg with her familiar yell of, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" and hurled him toward Mammoth, who had stopped to laugh at Beast Boy's misfortune. Jinx, who had observed her comrade's plights, shouted, "Screw this," and set her sights on Raven.

"That's probably not a good idea," Robin mumbled toward Jinx, but of course she didn't hear him and was slammed from behind by a stop sign. 'Ooh! Now that was funny!' he laughed to himself.

He couldn't feel the pain in his chest anymore, but he still remembered what had been there and he was pissed. He whipped out his staff and held it behind his back with his right hand. With his left he motioned 'come here' as he yelled, "Hey Cinderblock! Why don't you finish what you started?" He smiled as Cinderblock pivoted with a startled look on his face. Robin did a dive roll forward, whipped the staff around, and knocked Cinderblock off his feet.

Just as Cinderblock was righting himself, Starfire knocked him forward with a starbolt to the back of the head. 'Good girl!' he cheered silently. He whipped out three electro-disks and flung them at Cinderblock who dodged all but one. Robin took advantage of the fazed beast. He leapt forward and kicked Cinderblock's shoulder back as he whipped his other foot around connecting with the side of his head.

Just as Robin finished up the great combo move, Cyborg's arm beeped loudly, "Yo Rob! The security system's been breeched. Someone's in the tower!"

"Damn it!" He couldn't believe it! Here they were risking life and limb literally and now they had another problem to deal with. He scanned the area to assess his teammates situations. Beast Boy had finally gained some ground in his battle. He had changed into a viloceraptor and was chasing after Mammoth, baring his teeth menacingly. Raven was doing a little mind sparring with Jinx. At the moment she was armed with a motorcycle, but Jinx was taking it apart piece by piece. Cyborg had a hold of Gizmo's metal "legs" and was swinging him like a hammer. Starfire was circling above Cinderblock raining down starbolts. He had to make a quick decision; he thrived on quick decisions. "Starfire! Go."

"Robin, are you quite sure?" She questioned still firing, "I might be of better help here."

He tried to explain quickly, "You can get there faster than any of the rest of us. Besides I owe this guy an ass whoopin'."

"An ass whoo-pin'?" She looked very confused.

"Never mind Star. We'll be fine. Just go!" And with that she flew off.

He peered through the dark. No one was there. He was sure of it. He'd wanted this for a long time. He had planned for every eventuality, but stuff would go much smoother if no one was there. He had to do everything right if he was going to reach his objective.

He slinked around a corner and pushed a button. He was there. He walked over to the wall and took down a mirror. 'Whoa! A twelve-digit lock. This kid's serious.' He thought for just a moment and tried something. 1-9-2-0-1-1-8-6-9-1-8-5 the safe made click as it unlocked. 'Kid's got it bad," he thought, but he already knew this. He reached in and gingerly picked it up. His prize was finally in his hands.

Please review—and for those of you who are going to ask me…No, this is not a Rob/Rae fic. Though I KNOW I want write one of those.
