The voices woke him up, so he climbed out of the bed and slowly crept towards the curtain. Making sure he didn't made any noises. He opened the curtain a little and saw that the two parents were sitting at the table.
"John, he has to know!"
"Why?"
"It's his rights!"
"What about my rights? I love that boy as if he was…"
The man looked up and saw him.
"…Hey big guy, why aren't you sleeping?"
He tried to go over to them, but the distance between them became greater each time he took a step. The music began to play. He recognized it at once and it made him almost threw up. It became dark around him. He knew, what there was going to happen. He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't. His feet took him into the ring. He already knew what was in there, but still he had to see it. There was the noise. The high-wire had snapped. The screams! He tried to hold his hands over his ears, but he could still hear them. He wanted it to stop. He began to scream.
"Robin!"
He opened his eyes and saw Jake's worried face.
"What?"
"You had a nightmare. Are you all right?"
Robin got out of the bed and began to dress himself as he tried to forget the dream.
"I think, that I will take a walk, so just go back to bed again."
Jake didn't move.
"You have had that dream before?"
Robin slowly nodded.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Robin walked over to the window.
"There isn't much to talk about. It is just one of those things I have to live with."
Jake walked over and sat down on the window frame. His eyes wandered out on the ocean.
"I also had nightmares about my parents dead, but then I met this girl. She said nightmares were your brain's way of processing the problems, that you haven't dealt with while you are awake."
"Did it help?"
He looked at Robin.
"Some problems are deep. I had pushed them away for so long, that I needed help calling them back."
"You mean a psychologist."
Jake nodded.

"Raven?"
She looked up and met Cyborg's worried eyes.
"You were far away. Has something happened?"
She shook her head and walked over to the machine.
"I can't read it. It doesn't seem like it is any know language, so maybe it is some kind of code."
Cyborg was just about to take his worries for her up again, but dropped it.
"It can take years to break it."
She nodded.
"We can't stay here. It is just a matter of time before…"
Suddenly she felt dizzy and had a hard time keep standing up. Cyborg jumped to her side and helped her.
"Raven, what is wrong?"
As quickly it had come to her, so quickly it also disappeared again.
"I don't know, maybe it is something in the air?"
o-
The two boys were sitting at the table in the kitchen eating breakfast, when Airmid came almost running into the room. She went over to the television and turned it on.
"Forgot your favourite television shown?"
"No, look."
She walked away, so they could see the screen, and pointed over at the screen, which showed the news. They had a clip with some building in, but then the camera turned around and revealed the familiar figures.
Robin shrugged his shoulders.
"So, that is just Teen Titans. Maybe they could help us."
Airmid's eyes went big as she walked over to him.
"You don't understand. Teen Titans doesn't exist here!"
"What?"
"There is small changes between the worlds. Here these changes had lead to, that Teen Titans doesn't exist."
Robin stood up and walked over to the television, where the titans still could be seen.
"But then…"
Airmid laid a hand on his shoulder for support.
"Yes, these are YOUR friends. Somehow has Dick been able to bring them into this world."
"I have to talk to them!"
He was just about to run out of the kitchen, when Airmid stopped him. He sent her an angry look.
"Don't try to stop for me. They are my friends!"
"I have no intention in trying to stop you, but I ask, that you do me a favour first."
o-
"Robin!"
DarRobin stopped Cyborg with a gesture and pulled himself up with his fighting staff.
"I'm alright! We need to find him!"
Cyborg walked over to him and laid an arm around DarkRobin's waist to support him.
"You are definitely not alright. Come let us go back."
DarkRobin was just about to protest, but then he felt the pills, which he had taken to fool the titans, working and he threw up.
Cyborg called the other titans back to the roof, before he helped DarkRobin, who still was vomiting. As Starfire saw DarkRobin she was just about to fly over to him, but stopped herself and cast a glance over at Raven, who wish Starfire hadn't stopped herself. Beast Boy was the last one to come back. The normally happy titan was now just a shadow of himself, and for the first time revealed his eyes the darkness inside him.
Cyborg looked up on his friends.
"We have to go back. It was to…"
"No.."
DarkRobin wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"…we need to get him!"
"I couldn't have said it better myself!"
The titans followed the voice and saw two figures standing some distance away from them in the shadows. Cyborg jumped up and fired up his forearm.
"Who are you?"
"It's me, Cy."
One of the figures stepped out of the shadows. The titans gasped as they recognized him. It was Robin.
DarkRobin quick regained control over himself again, and he jumped up on his feet and went into attack mode.
"It was him! He was the one, who attacked me."
He threw a Batarang against Robin, who caught it with ease and threw it back. DarkRobin felt the anger come up in him and he attacked Robin, who welcomed the battle with please.
The other titans had frozen in their moves. There were two Robins! Which one was the right one? They had to make their decision fast as Robin kick DarkRobin so hard, that he flew back and knocked Starfire over. Quickly DarkRobin jumped up on his feet again. He took Starfire in the arm and push her towards Robin.
"Fight him! He is the impostor!"
She began to power up a starbolt, but stopped as she saw Robin's eyes.
DarkRobin saw the change in her and threw a Batarang against her. This one wasn't like the ones Batman had made. No, this one was everything Batman had fought against, and DarkRobin knew it, as he counted the seconds.
The Batarang exposed a distance from her, but still the force was big enough to knock her unconscious and push her to the edge of the skyscraper. For a second it looked like she was going to stay there, but then she began to fall down.
Robin saw it and jumped after her.
