Chapter 7: What I Would Do For You
:Memory ( this is just before Nora was going to leave Victor, if you remember)
Victor walked into the apartment. The TV was on in the living room and the kitchen smelled of food that had already been eaten. He smiled, everything was as it should be. He walked into the bedroom. And a suitcase laid on the bed. They weren't going anywhere. Nora came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes. She put a toothbrush and some clothes into the suitcase. She then went to some drawers and opened them. She grabbed an arm full of clothes and put them into the suitcase.
" Nora what are you doing?" Victor asked.
" What's it look like I'm doing?" she said in a hostile voice.
" It looks like your packing. Where are you going?" He asked confused.
" Where were you last night Victor?" she asked instead of answering his question.
" I was at the lab. You know that. Remember I called you." He answered.
" Were you with her?" she said emphasizing on the word her.
" What do you mean her?" Victor asked.
" Don't bullshit me Victor. You know who I'm talking about." Nora said turning to him and pointing as though she was blaming him.
" Lane Johnson. Is that who you mean?" Victor asked.
" Yes that is who I mean Victor!" she yelled.
" There's nothing going on between me and Lane anymore." Victor said desperately.
" I know there isn't!!! But how could you still work with her? She almost broke up our marriage!" Nora yelled.
" I thought we got pass this, Nora. What happened the night last year was a mistake. And we've gone to counseling. You know I love you." Victor said.
" Do I? I had to find out that you had sex with Lane from Joan!!!! So much for your damned business trip! I was humiliated in front of all my friends. I had to hold my head up high while they gave me those looks of sympathy. Sympathy for Nora: whose husband cheated on her!" Nora yelled.
" Nora I have apologized over and over. I will live with that mistake forever! But please believe me when I say that I love you!" Victor said putting his hands on her shoulders. She just looked away.
" What's this all about?" Victor asked. Nora just broke away from his glance. " Nora please!" he yelled.
" I'm pregnant!" she yelled.
Victor smiled. " Your pregnant! Oh my god that's such great news Nora. Me and you are going to be parents. Why are you so sad?" he said as he tried to turn her towards him.
" No! I'm leaving Victor." Nora said getting up.
" What! Nora please! Why are you doing this?" Victor asked.
" My child will not have to put up with this. My child needs a father who will be there for him or her. Not someone who is always away. Working for some damned man named Ferris who he lets step all over him." Nora said looking at Victor with disgust.
" Nora please stay!" Victor begged.
" Your always working!!! Your never home!" Nora yelled while she closed her suitcase and headed for the door. He stopped her and turned her around.
" You can't walk out on me!! Please Nora!! Don't you love me?" Victor asked.
Nora turned to face him. She dropped her suitcase and put a hand on his cheek. " Of course I love you. But do you love me? You're always working. At Christmas we were in the middle of opening presents with my sisters children and you left for work."
" I love you so much. I work so that you can have a good life Nora. But don't leave I promise I won't work so much anymore. I'll have a talk with Mr. Boyle." Victor said hugging Nora. Nora smiled and nodded. She picked up her things and put them back in the room.
" I'm sorry." she said. " I should've told you how I felt."
" Don't be sorry, Nora. I was the idiot." Victor said.
" Oh I think I can ag-" Nora stopped in the middle of her sentence.
" Nora what is it? What's wrong?" he asked worried.
" I just thought I - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she screamed. She bent down holding her stomach. She was kneeling on the floor screaming. Victor rushed to her side.
" Nora!!! What's happening what's wrong?" he asked frightfully. Nora only screamed and then started coughing. She coughed again and blood came out of her mouth instead of throw-up. She started choking on the blood that was now coming from her mouth. Victor put his hands around her waist and pushed on her stomach to stop her from choking. She coughed and spit out a huge blood clot. Then she passed out. Victor got up and ran to the phone.
He dialed 911 and a woman answered. " 911 are you in need of assistance?"
"Send someone right now! To 1411 South Beach Road. Something's wrong with my wife!" He yelled.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Everything was silent at Gothcop. The security guard sat lazily at the front desk. His name was Larry. Larry had a wife and eight children. He was a plump man who had been working at Gothcop for five years. He hated the job. He was forced to work the graveyard shift since he was needed at home during the day to help with the kids. His job was dull. No one ever came to Gothcop at night nor was anyone there in his level. He would sit and watch the screens. But had one monitor tuned to a TV station. Right now it was 11:00pm and the Simpson's were on. He laughed to himself as he watched Bart moon someone. Larry picked up a donut and ate it while laughing. To anyone else he would seem like a lazy ass who was lucky enough to land himself a beautiful wife. Sadly, this was true.
He was brought out of his self-enjoyment when he heard a noise. He sat up in his chair and looked around the inside lobby. No one was there. He stood and wiped some powder from his lips using the back of his hand. He looked back at the screens. Still no one, but he decided on checking anyways. What else was there to do?
Larry walked into the middle of the main lobby. On either side on him were columns on the walls. They stood proudly gleaming a clean white. His footsteps echoed as he walked and the sound of lame music that always played in buildings like these played through the large room. He took a flashlight from his belt and shone it on the dark spaces in between the columns. No was there either. He turned around to walk back to his station when he heard another noise.
Larry took out his walkie talkie and spoke into it. " Yo Joe. You there?"
The device went to static and a voice of an African American man answered. " Yeah Larry I'm still here on this damned 12th floor. I hate guarding here it's not like someone is going to come back after the other night. Why did you want to know?"
" Just wondering I thought I heard a noise and thought it might've been you coming down here. Probably just my imagination ." Larry answered.
" You probably should turn off that TV. I'm telling you your watching too much of it. If the boss found out your ass would be fired." Joe said from the other line.
" Ha-ha very funny Joe. Well the boss won't find out, will he?" Larry asked.
" Don't worry man I won't tell him anything. Fucking bastard is too cheap to give me a raise even through I have been working here for 13 years." Joe answered angrily.
" I so agree. Well never mind then. See you after your shift." Larry said.
" Yeah you too." Joe said and then hung up. Larry smiled at his stupidly. Then he heard a noise again.
He pulled out his gun. " Okay who's there. Come out or I'll shoot."
" Oh, no you caught me." said a sarcastic voice from the shadows. Larry turned all ways looking for the person who the voice belonged to.
" Come out and put your hands up!" Larry yelled in a scared voice.
" Okay but you asked for it." the voice said. Larry turned left and his face ran into a boot.
Larry fell to the ground and looked up at the figure. " It's you. Put your hands up!"
" Kiss my ass." The figure said. Larry shot at the figure but the figure dogged all shots. The next thing Larry knew was gas surrounded him and he fell asleep.
Meanwhile up on the 12th floor Joe heard gun shots. He picked up his walkie talkie and said into it, " Hey Larry what's going on down there?" There was no answer.
" I'm coming down." Joe said as he walked to the elevator and pushed a button. He waited for the elevator to open. Finally it dinged and it opened.
" What the hell?" was all Joe could say before he was knocked out.
Robin walked over Joe and went down the hallway. He opened the door that lead to the lab. He entered and went straight to the cabinet where the micros where. He typed in the word Hope. It didn't work. Hope was the code to start the program but apparently not to this. He thought and then typed in: Nora.
The computer then said:
"Correct password. Welcome Dr. McKnight"
Robin reached in and grabbed all 5 tubes inside the cabinet. He placed them carefully into a little bag he had brought with him. When he was sure he had gotten everything he closed it. He then walked to the back of the lab and went out the door that lead to the hallway. He took Joe in his gasp and hulled him into the elevator also. Once the elevator got to the first floor Robin stepped out and dragged Joe's limp body and placed it next to Larry's. There was no going back. The video cameras had caught him. He was now a villain.
" Don't worry Star I'm coming." he said to himself as he walked out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Titans Tower…..
Cyborg madly typed at the computer. He was trying to find Starfire's location. Raven stood next to him trying to think of a plan. Beastboy stood next to her helping.
Raven didn't want to admit it to anyone but she was worried. Very, very, very worried. Starfire was most likely to be killed either way. Robin was not seeing that. He refused to.
Then again he does love her. I knew that. I could sense that Robin loved her. It doesn't matter if he said he didn't love her. I know he does. He has loved her for a long time now. And tonight I could barely stand to sit next to him. His feelings- they were so strong. He was angry, sad, disappointed and other terrible things all at once. But two things stood out from the rest. Love and determination. I do believe he would do anything. That's why I had to stop him. Are we doing the right thing, staying here and thinking of a plan? Or are we just killing Starfire ourselves doing so? Please, God, just let her be okay.
Raven was brought out of her thoughts by flashing alarm. She looked around and then at Cyborg who looked back at her. He turned to the screen.
"There's been a break in at Gothcop. The micros were stolen." Cyborg said solemnly. Beastboy's eyes widened. He turned and ran towards the common room door. The others already knew what he was doing. They looked at the door which Beastboy had gone through. It seemed like hours but it had really just been a few seconds.
Finally a out of breath Beastboy busted through the doors. " Robin's gone!" he yelled.
Raven turned back up to the screen, " He stole the micros."
" How do you know that?" Cyborg said not wanting to believe it. But he knew it was true.
" Because Robin's emotions were strong." Raven answered then she looked down at her feet. " I think somewhere in the back of my mind I knew he would do this."
Cyborg slammed his fists down on the small control table. " I should've know. I should've kept an eye on him. Damn me!!!"
Beastboy had been silent but now he spoke. " It's took late for should've and could've. What are we going to do?"
" We're going to Gotham and we're going to go to Pier 18. And we're going to help Robin." Raven said in her normal voice.
" But it's a trap." Cyborg said.
" I know." Raven said quietly as she walked towards the garage. Cyborg nodded and followed her.
" We are so screwed." Beastboy said to himself as he followed them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The motorcycle drove up a small back street. The street ran along the back of huge warehouses. He then parked his R-Cycle on the side of one warehouse and hopped off. No one was there yet. He walked towards a small wood fence not only 10 feet from the warehouse. It started up from the ocean with concrete and turned into a wood barrier when it reached 4 and one half feet .He leaned against it. He could only see the waves crashing into the side below. They made splashing sounds as they hit it. It seemed like an eerie calm just standing there. Nothing was important and just staring at the waves was hypnotizing, it made you forget everything. Yes, this was the clam before the storm.
The stars lit up the night sky and gave it brilliant light. There were no clouds and you could see everything perfectly. It was a bit cold though. He remembered having times like this before. He wasn't cold then, sitting next to Starfire, she always made him warm.
: Flashback:
Robin opened the door to the roof. He had come here as a last resort. The one place they wouldn't look. Yes, Cyborg and Beastboy were hunting him down to make him play another "exciting" round of Stank Ball. They already had gotten Raven to play. It had been a horrifying site. As Raven sat by herself in the corner of the common room, just minding her own business, Beastboy crept up behind her. She sat unknowingly as Beastboy advanced upon her. He held up a black and white robe above her, as though it was a knife. Raven continued reading as Beastboy's face puffed up withholding laughter. His face reddened as he got closer. He knew what he was going to do thus he got redder. He couldn't hold it in any longer. He let out a chuckle.
Raven turned and raised an eyebrow. " What the hell?" Beastboy smiled an evil smile. Raven looked confused and then her eyes widened as she realized what was going on. " No." was all she let out as Cyborg, who had sunk up behind her while she was looking at Beastboy, grabbed her from behind. She struggled to get free but couldn't. Beastboy leaped forward and put the black and white stripped robe over her light lighting. He stepped back and smiled admiring his work.
" What are you two doing?" She said in a enraged voice.
" Now, now, now Raven calm down. You don't want to blow up the tower, do you?" Cyborg said in a small voice. Raven calmed herself down. Cyborg placed her in a chair and tied her to it.
Raven gave the two a death glare and said, " You'll regret this! I will escape." The two laughed. But then got determined, serious looks on their faces.
" Now to find the others." Beastboy said rubbing his hands together.
" Oh, Robin! Where have you gone?" Cyborg said sweetly while pulling out a rope a swinging it into a lasso. Robin gulped. He had been hiding behind the kitchen counter the whole time. He then made a mad dash to the common room door.
He went through and locked it. He heard Cyborg and Beastboy on the other side. " He went that way!" " Get Him!!!!"
Robin had ran down the hallways in the tower and finally came to the roof, the last place they would search. After opening the door to the roof he saw someone sitting by the edge. That someone was Starfire. He smiled and walked towards her.
" Hey Star." He said. She jumped at the sound of his voice. But then relaxed relizing it was him.
" Hello Friend Robin." She said cheerfully. He walked over and sat next to her.
" Sorry if I scared you." He apologized.
" It is fine." she answered looking back at the ocean. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight. She shivered from the cold and brought her legs to her chin. Robin took off his cape and wrapped it around her.
" I thank-you." she said.
" Welcome." he answered.
" But will you not be cold?" She asked.
" No Star. Actually I'm feeling quite warm." He answered smiling at her and she smiled back.
" So what are you thinking about?" Robin asked.
" I am thinking about the future." she answered.
" I remember you went there. Are you thinking about that?" Robin asked.
" Yes. I am afraid I think about it often. It was different from now. Colder. I felt so alone. I worry that what Warp said was true, that I can not change the future. That somehow my friends will be friends no longer. And we will all go our seprate ways. I wonder what will happen to us all. What do you suppose will happen in your future, Robin." she asked turning to him.
Robin looked back at her. He hadn't really thought about the future. He knew he would get older, yeah. But her question had a point. What he would do with is life? " To tell the truth Satrfire I don't really know."
" Oh, but you have to have a dream." Starfire said.
" I don't have one. I don't really have a life outside of crime fighting. I think I will continue being a superhero for as long as I can. And after that I plan to take it from there. But I doubt I'll live to be old." Robin said sadly looking at the ocean.
" Why would you say such things Robin of course you will live to be old!" Starfire gasped. Robin smiled at her.
" Well you never know." he said hoping she would feel better.
" I do not think I will live to be old either." she said sadly.
" Why would you say that?" Robin asked in surprise.
" Many people in my postion have died by the age of 40. My mother, my father, my grandmother,my grandfather, their parents before them, and their parents before them have all died before the age of 40. All assassinated or died in war. As princess I shall one day take the thrown and I will die as ruler as will my chideren after me. It is why I think in the future, here that is, I will not be here. I do not wish to go back to Tameran. I want to stay and make sure the future is good." she said looking down. Robin took her hand in his. She looked up at him surprised.
" Starfire make me a promise that someday you'll gave children and those children will have children and you will be there to see it all no matter what. And that when you do die you will be old in surrouned by the ones you love." Robin said.
" I promise. Robin will you make me a promise?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah Starfire anything." Robin said.
" Promise me that, someday, you will have children also. And that you will find a woman who makes you truly happy. And that you will live to be a very old man." Starfire said.
Robin knew he probably wouldn't be able to keep that promise. He did a half smile and said, " I'll do my best." Starfire smiled accepting this answer.
There were a few moments of silence and then she spoke again. " Robin?"
He turned to her and noticed that they were really close. " Yeah."
" Will you not forget me in the future?" she whispered.
" Of course I won't. I can't ever forget you. Not even if I tried." he whispered as they leaned in closer.
" Robin, these children that I will have-- well I was wondering if maybe you and I---" She was cut off by the roof door swinging open. They jumped away from each other blushing.
Cyborg and Beastboy stood in the door way smiling evilly. " Hey you two." Cyborg said with his hands behind his back.
" Oh no." Robin said.
" What is wrong Robin?" Starfire asked. Beastboy smiled.
" Hey Star. You wanna play a game?" he asked slyly.
" Oh yes!! I game would be delightful." Starfire answered clapping her hands.
" No Star. You don't want to do it." Robin said putting an arm in front of Starfire.
" Too late dude." Beastboy smiled. Robin looked around. Cyborg was gone. Robin then heard a breathing behind him. Before he could do anything he was in Cyborgs arms. He struggled to get out of the grasp but Cyborg's hold was too strong. Robin stopped giving up and looked to the right of him. Starfire was held in the other arm laughing madly. Cyborg smiled and opened the door leading inside.
He stopped dead in his tracks and gulped. Raven stood right in the frame of the corridor blocking the way out of the hallway. " Hello boys. I told you I would escape." she said in an evil way.
" He- hey Raven." Beastboy said stuttering.
" Hello Beastboy wanna play a game." she said darkly. Beastboy and Cyborg both gulped. That night they did some serious regretting.
: End Flashback:
Robin smiled. He loved nights like that. Everything had been so normal. He had taken it for granted. When and if he was ever to get back to that normal life he would celebrate that he had it.
Robin then heard a noise behind him. He turned. Mr. Freeze advanced towards him.
" Hello Robin. I'm so glad you could make it." Mr. Freeze said in a cold voice.
" Where's Starfire?!" Robin demanded.
" You'll be seeing her very soon don't worry." Mr. Freeze said.
" What do you mean I'll be seeing her very soon?" Robin asked.
Mr. Freeze just smiled. " I see you've brought the micros. Good work."
" Cut the crap. I want Starfire!" Robin yelled.
" Then you shall get her." Mr. Freeze said evilly. Robin was grabbed from behind. He stuggled to get free.
" Follow me." Mr. Freeze said leading the way. Robin just allowed himself to be taken with the men. As long as he would be taken to Starfire he would do anything.
The door opened to a big warehouse that had been abanded. Or so it looked that way. He was lead to a different room. This room was big. It had machines and tables in it. A big lab. Robin looked around and in a tank he saw Starfire!!!!!
Robin was pushed to the ground. And was held there by someone. Robin looked at Starfire. He was so close to her. He almost had her. He couldn't be stopped now. Mr. Freeze took the bag Robin had. He looked in it and took out a tube of micros. He looked at them carefully.
" The cure is in my hands." He said in awe.
" Give me Starfire." Robin demanded.
" Robin, did you really think that I was just going to give you the girl and let you walk away with your knowledge of where I am and what I'm planing. Don't be foolish Robin because I'm not." Mr. Freeze.
" I'm not foolish." Robin said.
" Yes that's right. You're just in love." Mr. Freeze said.
" Yeah I am." Robin retorted. " And I do anything to protect her."
" As would I with Nora so you must understand my position." Mr. Freeze said.
" The thing is: I do understand your position. When the person you love is in trouble you'll do anything to help. You love them so much that just to see them in any pain at all hurts you. You would be willing to take the pain into yourself just so they wouldn't feel it. I understand now that love is something you can't deny. But that is no reason to kill people. So I'm going to bring you down and when I do I'll be able to say that I do love Starfire but I won't give in to being a villain at any time." Robin said knocking the man holding him down off. Robin stood and took out his bo-staff.
" Very well. Before you die I'll give you a fight. I'd like you to meet Hank. Hank and my minions will keep you busy. Goodbye Robin." Mr. Freeze said. He then pushed a button and a platform that lowered him and the two tanks underground. Then a small floor replaced the one that had disappeared.
Hank stepped forward. " Me and your girl had fun last night. She's an awesome kisser. How could you ever let her go?"
Robin was angered at this. " What did you do to her?"
" Don't worry just some kissing and other playful things. No sex….I wasn't allowed." Hank said darkly.
" You'll pay for that!" Robin yelled.
" Yeah, and you and what army is going to stop me boy blunder?" Hank asked sarcastically.
" The Titans army!" A voice yelled from behind Robin. Robin turned his head. And there stood Cyborg. Along with him were Raven and Beastboy all were in fighting stance.
" How did you get here!" asked Hank.
" We traced Robin's communicator. Thanks to him for leaving it on." Raven said.
Robin turned back to Hank, " I'm no fool. I knew this was a trap."
" Too bad that you walked into it cause you're not getting out of it. At least not alive." Hank said.
" Titans Go!!!" Robin yelled. And with that the Titans commenced battle with the minions.
Raven used her powers to put a sheild over them all as the minions rushed forward. She then expanded it so it blew them backwards. She then took her own section of them to fight as did the others.
" You want to see some magic?" Raven asked. Then was engulfed in black and sunk into the ground. The minions looked around confused. Where did she go? She then came up again in the same black light behind them. They turned around only to come face to face with black disk-like things. It was only light but when it collided with them it exploded and knocked them to the ground. They stood angrily and rushed her but before they could get to her a pole surrounded with black light hit them. They all rubbed their heads.
" You're going to get it girly!!" one of them yelled.
With that Raven arose into the air with 4 red eyes and said, " Don't call me girly!" then black vines came from under her cape and took hold of each of their ankles. The vines pulled them into her. They shot at the vines but nothing worked. They were pulled under the cape. And a few seconds later they came out - petrified and not moving.
Meanwhile Beastboy turned into several animals. He rammed himself into the minions and knocked them down. They got back up and turned to rush him but Beastboy turned into a monkey and jumped from each one covering their eyes so they couldn't see. They ran into each other as they tried to pry the primate off their face. While others fired gun shots at Beastboy but before they could him he would jump to another face. Finally after jumping on all their faces he landed on the ground and turned into a snake. He then wrapped himself around their ankles tripping one so that he would fall over the other. He turned back into his normal self as they all laid sprawled out on the ground. But he had forgotten one. The man stood and fired a round of shots at Beastboy. Beastboy had no time to react, he was just going to get shot. Beastboy braced himself for impact but then a black shield covered him. The bullets bounced off it and hit the man who had fired. The sheild disappeared and Beastboy turned. Raven stood next to him.
" Thanks." He said.
" You're welcome." she said and then fell into his arms.
" Raven what's wrong?" Beastboy asked worriedly.
" I used a lot of power. I'm in a very weak state." she whispered and then shut her eyes as she passed out.
" Raven!" he yelled. He looked at the now asleep girl. He lifted her up into his arms and carried her bridal style to a safe area and went to go help Cyborg but not before kissing her forhead. " I'll be back soon promise." he said leaving her.
Meanwhile Cyborg shot his sonic cannon at all the minions. He had successfully disarmed all them now he just needed to defeat them. He blasted serval that came his way and knocked them backwords. They landed and stood. Then one of them smiled and waved to the others. The others nodded. And Cyborg just stood there confused. Just as they had all nodded they rushed him. All at once. Now Cyborg's cannon could stop someone but not all once. He blasted them as they came towards him. But there was too many. Just then a large green rhino knocked them all out like bowling pins. Cyborg smiled.
" Thanks BB." Cyborg said.
" Cyborg watch out!" Beastboy yelled and pointed.
Cyborg turned. There was a minion. The minion jumped and landed on Cyborg's back and broke into his system and started cutting wires. " Yo! Get off my back!!!" Cyborg yelled.
" Get off, I said get of--- I'm a little tea pot short and---oh damn it stop messing with my systems!" Cyborg yelled as he waved his arms madly trying to knock the guy off. Then Cyborg felt his legs give out. He fell to the ground. His bottom part of his body had stopped working. He was now only working from the waist up.
The minion laughed at his triumph over the mechinal man. But as soon as he had thought he had won a monkey covered him. The minion couldn't see and was forced to get off Cyborg's back as he was attacked by a green monkey. Finally he threw the monkey off but was hit by a blue light that knocked him out.
" When I say don't mess with me I mean DON'T MESS WITH ME!!!!" Cyborg yelled.
" Cyborg are you okay?" Beastboy said rushing to his side.
" No man I can't fight with only half of me working." Cyborg said sadly.
" Come on." Beastboy said turning into a gorilla and pulling Cyborg to the spot where he had placed Raven. He laid Cyborg next to her.
" Okay where's Robin. We need to find Robin and save Star and get out of here." Beastboy said.
Cyborg looked around and then pointed to the rafters. There Robin was fighting with Hank.
Hank took a swing at Robin who dodged his fist. Instead Robin took his bo-staff and hit Hank in the chest. Hank then took hold of the other side that had hit him and pulled it. Hank then bended it so it broke.
" Oops." Hank said.
" You're going to pay for what you did with Starfire!" Robin yelled. Robin then took the broken bo-staff and used it as two small ones. He swung one down at Hanks knees and one at his head. But Hank jumped and missed getting hit by both shots. Hank then grabbed a pole from above and pulled himself up and kicked Robin. The kick knocked the breath from Robin and he hit the wall hard. Hank jumped down and went to punch Robin. Robin ducked and Hank's hand hit the wall instead. Hank then received a kick in the stomach and a fist in the face. Hank fell on a small thin platform that workers would use to get around the rafters. Robin jumped after him and landed on both feet on the platform. Hank was flat on his face. It looked as though he was finished. Robin took a stepped towards him and Hank smiled a smile that Robin could not see. As Robin reached down to pick him up Hank turned and with with an evil smile a shot fired. Robin looked down at Hank's hand. In it was a small gun. Robin then felt a burning in his left shoulder. He put a glove to it and when he pulled it off the glove was covered in blood. Robin had been shot. Hank smiled and stood.
" I win." Hank said evilly.
" No you don't." Robin said and then much to Hank's surprise Robin kicked his hand and Hank dropped the gun. He quickly went to pick it up but was kicked by a boot instead. Hank stepped back as he was hit with a bunch of punches. Then he was kicked with force in the stomach. Hank breathed in deeply and bended down. Robin wrapped a hand around Hank's neck and raised him up.
" Go ahead Robin, kill me. You won. Kill me." Hank choked.
Robin shook his head. " You might to deserve to die but I'm not murder." With that he took out some spray from his utility belt. He sprayed it and Hank was knocked out. Robin dropped him on the platform. He jumped down onto the warehouse floor and Beastboy ran up to him.
" Robin we need to get Starfire. Cy and Rae are hurt, bad and they need to get out of here." Beastboy said.
" Take them and go." Robin said heading for a wall that a button.
" But Robin I just can't leave you here. You're injured too!" Beastboy said looking at Robin's arm.
" I'm fine. Cyborg and Raven need your help right now. Get them out of here, Beastboy. And that's an order." Robin said.
Beastboy shook his head sadly. He knew there was no changing Robin's mind. " Okay. Keep in touch on the communicator." Beastboy said to Robin.
Robin nodded. " I will. Now go!"
Beastboy turned but then turned back to Robin, " Hey Rob, I saw what happened up there, with Hank. You were the better man."
Robin nodded. " Thanks." Then he watched as Beastboy turned into a gorilla and picked up both Raven and Cyborg. He then walked out of the warehouse.
Robin ran to the wall where the button Mr.Freeze had pushed was. He pressed it and the ground upon which he stood started to go down. When it stopped Robin got off and it went back up. The room which he was in now was small and dark. It had two tanks and one metal table which had the body of an sleep Nora on it. She had been taken out of her tank and not awakened yet. Mr. Freeze was at a computer typing in comands fastly. He turned to face Robin.
" So Hank and my minions didn't kill you. Now that's a disappointment." Mr. Freeze said turning to Robin.
" You're not going to get away with this." Robin said darkly.
" I will. I have have worked so hard to cure her!!! I will make her well again." Mr. Freeze said with a determined voice.
" You love her. I get that. But you have killed people. Even after she is cured someday I will bring you down. And then Nora will be left alone again. You could've saved her in different ways taken a different path to getting her cured. But you chose this one and it's too late. You can't take it back." Robin said.
" It doesn't matter what happens to me. As long as she is okay and my child is okay!" Mr. Freeze yelled.
" Your child?" Robin asked confused.
" She was pregnant when she got sick. If I didn't put her into the the cryogenic chamber they would both die! They are my family! My life! I can't just let them die!" Mr. Freeze yelled.
" You don't have to. Listen if you come with me quietly I'll make sure that they are cured." Robin offered.
" No!!! It's too late. I have already inserted the micros into her. She should awaken soon and then we'll be together forever." Mr. Freeze.
" You're crazy." Robin said quietly.
" I'm not crazy!!!I just want to make up for all the time I lost!" yelled Mr. Freeze.
" Sorry Victor, but I can't let you get away with this." Robin said.
" Then you'll die." Mr. Freeze said. He took out a lazer gun and pointed it at Robin. It fired and Robin dodged it. The lazer blasted into a mirrior instead. The mirrior broke into pieces. Robin took out his now broken bo-staff and swung it at Mr. Frezze. Mr. Freeze ducked and hit Robin in the stomach. Robin fell to the ground. The hit had force behind it from the suit. Robin landed on the ground and spit out some blood. He wiped it off and stood. Robin kicked Mr. Freeze towards the back of the room. While Mr. Freeze got himself up Robin made a mad dash to the computer. He found a button that said: Empty Cryogenic chamber and pressed it. He then felt a hand grab his shoulder and Robin was flipped into the machinery. It smashed against him. He felt a piece of the machinery go through his knee cap. He gave a yelp of pain as he pulled a 3 inch blade of metal from his knee. Robin then threw explosive disks at Mr. Freeze.
The whole room was consumed in smoke. And then it cleared. Robin was on the ground. His head ached from the fall. He couldn't walk for his knee was hurt so badly. It was only now that he felt his many injuries. He looked around. On the ground next to him was the bag he had brought the micros in. Around the bag where three broken bottles. Originally there had been five but one was used on Nora. If the other three were broken there was still one left. He quickly reached into the bag and pulled out the last tube of micros. The only one left. He then turned to a now turned over table that had been next to the big operation one. In found an ejector top he placed it over the lid of the tube. He looked over to the chamber Starfire had been. It was now empty and just had Starfire lying in it.
He crawled over to Starfire's glass chamber. He weakly and paifully got up on his knees. He opened the chamber and Starfire's limp body fell into his arms. Her evening gown was still on. The white cloth was torn and ragged. She was still badly injured so he had to be gentle with her. He held her in his arms and carefully ejected the micros into her. She still didn't move and it probably be awhile before she would wake up. Robin, for the first time, thought about Mr. Freeze.
Robin looked at the other side of the room. And saw Mr. Freeze crawl over to the place where his wife lay. She had been thrown from the table with the explosion and fighting, but both Robin and Mr. Freeze had not noticed. She had been thrown right into a chamber and now a shard of glass went right through her chest.
Victor let out a cry as he held his wife. Just as he did she opened her eyes and looked at her husband.
" Hey baby." she whispered.
" Nora." Victor whispered back.
" Why are you crying?" Nora asked Victor. Victor let out a sob and Nora looked down. She saw the glass that was through her chest.
" I-I'm sorry sweetheart I tried to save you. But I've failed." Victor said sadly.
Nora's hand rose and she put it on his cheek. " You didn't fail. I love you Victor. Even in death. This is the way it has to be."
" But I can't live without you. I love you so much Nora. I can't lose you again." Victor said kissing her hand.
" I was never gone. I've always been with you." Nora said in a whisper.
" You can't die." Victor whispered back.
" I can. And I will. You've never been able to tell me what I can or can not do I don't on planing on letting you bossing me around now." Nora said with a smile. Victor let out a small laugh.
" Will I see you again?" Victor asked.
" If we couldn't be together on Earth then in heaven we shall be together. Don't worry I'll be okay. I love you Victor." Nora whispered.
" I'll love you forever Nora." Victor whispered back. Then he slowly raised his hand and took off his helmet so that there was only his bare face. He slowly brought his lips to Nora's and kissed her for the last time. Nora's eyes closed and she let out her last breath. Victor started to cry and he put his face against hers.
He felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Robin. Victor turned to face him and smiled a sad smile. " In the darkness you were my only hope." he whispered to a now dead Nora. He then turned back to Robin. " Get out of here! Now! This place is going to blow up I'd say in about three minutes."
" How?" Robin asked.
" The computers were programmed to set off a series of bombs I had set just in case someone had found this hideout. When I destroyed them they set bombs timers off. Go!" Victor yelled.
" What about you?" Robin asked.
" I only have a matter of minutes left. I can't stand being out of my subzero environment. When I took my helmet off I was exposed to the outside environment. I'm already dieing. And I'd like to die along side my wife if that's okay with you." Victor said with dignity.
Robin nodded and went back to Starfire. Although it was painful he picked her up and carried her to the platform. He pressed the button and it started to go up.
" Robin." Victor said.
" Yes?" Robin answered.
" In life the one lesson I've learned is: Be with the one you love. Nothing else matters. Something might seem important but it's only when the most important thing is taken away from you that you truly relize that you had everything you needed all along." Victor said with knowledge beyond Robin's years. Robin nodded. Now that he was dying that was all he could give Robin. Advice, so Robin wouldn't make the same mistakes. And Robin wouldn't.
The platform landed on the first floor. And Robin ran as quickly as he could with a hole in his knee and a bullet in his shoulder, and a girl in his arms. He got into the first room which he had entered. He ran faster. He knew pushing himself like this was bad when he was so badly injured but he kept on. He pushed open the front door and went out into the night. By the wall Beastboy stood waiting.
" Beastboy cover yourself! This place is going to blow!" Robin yelled barely just getting out the door. Beastboy gave him a look of confused look and then his eyes widened as the place blew up. He felt heat on the back of his neck he fell to the ground. He covered Starfire with his body so she wouldn't get burnt. He looked down at her face before passing out himself.
Beastboy ran towards Robin and Starfire. Raven who had just awoken also ran towards them. Cyborg just sat up the best he could to see what was happening.
Beastboy and Raven looked down at the two. They were lovers in each others arms. And they needed medical attention. Raven looked back at the now burning building. The fire was brilliant. It was the one thing in the darkness of the night that showed clearly. She heard fire engines in the distance. But still after everything that had happened Raven knew that the fire had un-melted so many things. One of those things was Robin's frozen love and that would surely be heated with warmth from now on.
