Sorry it's been a while since I updated. One: I had a touch of writer's block. Two: I was holding out for one more review to make it forty. Whatever well, I hope this chapter goes well and if it doesn't, if there was something you thought wasn't elaborated enough on, leave I review and I will revise. Now enjoy!

-Giggles- Yay, reviews! Man, this story must really kick ass! You know I can't really tell seeing as its my story. Thank you all who've followed my story up to this point and dealt with my excessive whining and review begging. Thanks to you:

Chapter 5: Hateful Imposter

"Robin!"

Starfire screamed his name but he wouldn't stop. The mask that half-hid his face hid his emotion as well. He grinned wickedly as he heard Slade's voice in her ear, "Finish her Robin." Robin reached out and with the weapon Slade gave him, blasted Starfire with a beam of red-orange light. She arched her back in pain and screamed. The only thing he could hear besides Slade's maniacal laugh.

Robin's eyes opened suddenly. He glanced around; he was back in Titans' Tower. The t.v was on. He looked around and saw Raven sleeping peacefully. When he saw her, an image of Slade popped into his mind. He shuddered openly, shooken and angered by his surreal dream. And heard Raven's voice, Who is it with such a feeling of anger that can disturb me?

She opened her dark purple eyes and stared straight at Robin. "Robin, is something wrong?" He took several deep breaths. "Slade. . I . . had a dream." Somewhat disturbed by his fear, Raven stood up and walked closer until she stood in front of him. "Robin. It was just a dream. It can't hurt you. You're stronger than that." He stared at her hypnotically, blankly, and nodded. "I can make you forget," she whispered softly touching his forehead.

"You cannot allow yourself to be angered and frightened by images of your subconscious." She leaned closer to him, "It's alright. You're with me now." Raven rose slowly on her toes and kissed him on the lips. As soon as their lips contacted he felt sorrow within her, and a voice. Robin, get away! Wake up! It was Raven, the real Raven, trying to warn him. He gasped and pushed her away.

"Hate!" Raven's cloak instantly turned blood-red and she grinned at him. "It's good to speak with you Robin." He glanced around as the Tower melted away to blackness, the place where Raven's Mirror led; her mind. "Why did you create the Slade dream?" She grinned and stuck her tongue out at him, "Cause I like to mess with your mind, why else?"

Robin looked around at all the screeching black birds. "Release my friends. Raven too." She glanced at the darkened sky, feigning innocence, "Oh dear, I can't seem to remember where I left them. I suppose you'll just have to find them yourself, correct?" She paused and looked around, "Beware of the obstacles here; my other sides aren't around to assisst you." Raven grinned wickedly at him and Robin felt the true extent of Raven's power.

Such a silent calm girl like Raven could create such a hate-filled creature? It was strange. She was silent, no one ever knew what she thought or how she felt. But this Hate served as an obvious vessel for her feelings as did her other emotions. That anyone could be as evil as Raven's hatefulness served to surprise him. "Be careful Robin. You know better then anyone that there are places in my mind that no one can ever go." And with that she vanished, leaving Robin stranded in a land of darkness.

Hey, that actually came out better than I thought it would. Okay, I kinda expect fifty but. . . whatever works will make me happy. If you thought the story was near the end, goddamn were you wrong. Next Chapter: Ressurected Memories; Heartbreak.
