(Okay, Larry! Now I'm going to confuse you. He isn't in this series, which means he doesn't "exist", but in the same time he does exist, since a little girl has mess the whole thing up. I haven't changed him. He is still DNA buddy with Robin – don't worry ;)
Raven and DarkRobin… well, a deadly combination, since I don't think he is able to control his love. Just see the relationship between the two brothers. They love each other, but in the same time they also hate each other. - JoBO)
Lost and Found
"STARFIRE!"
Cyborg ran over to the edge and was just about to jump after Starfire, when he looked down. There was no sight of her. It was like her and Robin just had vanished. Cyborg turned around and cast a glance over at DarkRobin, who almost smiled.
"Don't you care?"
DarkRobin shrug his shoulders.
"Why? She was so unbearable. I'm glad that she is dead."
"She isn't down there."
The surprise was at seen in DarkRobin's face as he ran over to the edge. For a second he just stood there, but then the anger took over.
"Where is she?"
Cyborg saw the changes in the boy beside him and realized, that this one wasn't his friend.
"Who are you?"
DarkRobin realized, that his charade had been exposed, but tried to win some time.
"I'm Robin."
He took a step back.
"You aren't my friend!"
DarkRobin had reached his goal and was now standing beside Raven.
"This isn't your world, big guy, and here Robin aren't your friend!"
He took a cylinder from his belt and threw it between Cyborg and Beast Boy. Quickly a white smoke began to come out of it and blocked the two boy's view. The smoke cleared after some minuets and revealed an empty roof. DarkRobin had disappeared and he had taken Raven with him.

Jake opened the door and cast a glance over at Robin, who was sitting at Starfire's bedside, before he walked over to him. A pain in the heart reminded him of his own grief. It still felt so fresh even after so many months. He wished he could tell Robin about it, but it was just too hard. It was hard enough to lose his love, but losing it in his bothers hand was even harder.
"How is she?"
Robin looked up on him.
"I wish Raven was here. She could have healed her, but now…"
Jake laid a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder.
"My brother is always so paranoid. He always makes two plans, but the antidote should have begun to work by now, so she could wake up in any second."
He tried to send Robin a comforting smile, but the truth was, that he was very worried. He knew, what that kin of Batarangs could do all too well. It was the same kin as the one, which had killed Robyn.
A moaning sound called him back from the past and to his delight he saw, that Starfire was coming around. She opened her eyes. First her eyes were cloudy, but then she saw him. She yanked back in the bed and was just about to power up a starbolt, when she saw Robin.
"Robin?"
Her voice was dry and blurred, but Robin understood her and took very carefully her hand down. She jumped into his arms and burst into tears.
Jake walked out of the room, so the two could get some privacy. In the doorway he stopped for a second and cast a glance back at them. He really hoped, that Robin never had to experience losing his love one. He sighed and closed the door behind him.

"Leave me alone!"
She tried to summon her powers to help her getting out of his grasp, but the he slapped her in the face so hard, that the pain stopped her. She felt down on the knees and felt the tears in the corner of her eyes. He pulled her up again, but froze when he saw a tear falling down her cheek. Gently he wiped it away with his hand.
"You will later understand it, but…"
He caressed her cheek.
"…now you have to sleep."
He moved his hand around to her neck and pushed some points, which immediate made her fall asleep. For a moment he just stood and admired her, but then he gently took her into his arms and began to carry her.

"Was it what you wanted?"
Jake looked up on Airmid, who was working on the dinner. She recognized the look in his eyes. She had seen it so many times before. She knew it only lead to dead and sorrows, but it was his choice. If she ever had been given the choice, then she would have turned it down, but she had never had the chance.
"Seeing Robin fighting Dick just made me more sure about it."
He took a sip of his tea.
"Dick is out of control. He needs to be stopped!"
She looked him straight into the eyes.
"Also if it means, that you have to kill him?"
Jake broke the contact and looked down.
"I don't wish to take a life, but I know he would."
Airmid smiled with relief over his answer. That boy amazed her time after time. Just when she thought she had figured him out, then he gave her something new to think about. She dropped the knife and walked over to a chest in the other end of the kitchen.
"I think you are ready for this now."
She opened the chest and took a piece of clothing, which she gave to Jake.
"What is this?"
"Unroll it."
He unrolled it and saw it was a black suit with a blue bird on the chest. He looked over at Airmid, who smiled.
"Try it."
He took the suit on as Airmid began to search the chest for something. She found what she was looking for and came over to Jake with it. She placed the mask on his face and stepped back.
"Now you only need a name."
"I know one!"
Surprised they looked over at the door, where Starfire was standing. She blushed.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have…"
She was about to walk away, when Jake stopped her by taking her hand.
"It's alright. Your opinion means a lot to me. What was your suggestion?"
She looked down on their hands.
"I… some time ago… Nightwing!"
"Nightwing."
Jake said the name out loud and smiled.
"That sounds good!"
