"Robin, where are you?!"

Starfire flew over the dark ocean one more time hoping to find her lost friend. Behind her the sun was on it's way down. They had been searching after Robin for hours without finding him.

She got a glint of Beast Boy, who still as a shark was searching the ocean under its surface, and a new hope rose in her. Robin had been in more tough things that this. It was just a matter of time before they were going to find him.

"Titans, I have found him…I think it's him."

It was Beast Boy. Her communicator crackled for a second.

"NO!!!"

The scream hung in the dark air around her for a moment and then a second later it got blew away by the pressure from a nearby explosion.

She flew over to the explosion and quickly she found Beast Boy, who had taken the form as an elephant. He took seawater into his trunk and tried put the flames out with it. Soon after came Raven and Cyborg.

Beast Boy had tears in his eyes, as he told them about what he had seen. He hadn't found Robin around the bridge, so he had begun to swim in circles around it. In the end he had come to the shore, where something on land had caught his eyes. He had seen a figure in a red and green outfit, a black and yellow cape and with orange hair run into a building, which just seconds later had exposed.

Cyborg scanned the building and confirmed that there was a person in there. The hope rose in Starfire one more time.

"Is it Robin?"

"I can't tell…Starfire…he…he… is dead."

It hit her like a knife in the heat. She felt down on her knees and hide her face with the hands. She didn't even notice that the fire department came.

Raven, who had been snooping around in the area around the building, came over to the rest of her friends. She carried something in her hands.

"It was Robin!"

She held the thing up. It was a mask. It was Robin's mask.

Raven came into the living room and sat down in the sofa next to Cyborg.

"They are sleeping now."

"That's good."

They sat there for a long time in silence. Just looking at the proof of their friend's dead on the table - the cape and the mask. Hoping it would disappear. That it all just had been a dream.

"It couldn't had been…"

The voice died. The both knew the answer. The firefighter had put out the fire and had afterwards found the body. It was burn to unrecognizability, but next to the body was the cape. Robin's cape!

"But why did he take it off? If he only had…then he would…"

Her voice died as Cyborg hugged her. Behind them a lamp exposed. Raven control herself again and stood up.

"Oh, thanks, I going to bed now. You should also try to get some sleep."

"Okay, are you okay?"

She nodded.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded.

"Well, night then."

"Night."

She walked out of the room and down the hall. She was about to go into her room, when she heard something. She followed the sound to Beast Boy's room. Was he crying? She slowly knocked at his door and when there were no changes did she open it a little.

"BB, are you okay?"

There was no answer. She was about to close it again, when she heard someone snuffle. She looked into the room and saw Beast Boy sitting in the window. He was crying. She walked over and sat down next to him.

"It's okay. It's good to get it out."

She laid an arm around his shoulder.

"He hated me. I shouldn't have done it. Maybe it was therefore he…"

His words went into tears. First Raven didn't understand him, but them she remembered. It was only and half day ago, but it already felt like years.

"No, he was your friend – our friend. He knows…oh, knew you just meant it as a joke."

"But he is always so…you know."

"That's what made him Robin."

The boy looked her right into the eyes. For a moment it felt like the world spun around them, then a lamp exposed behind them and broke the moment.
