Chapter Three: Enemies

Robin lay on his bed, tossing and turning.

His footsteps were audible as he passed the hallway, stopping in front of Raven's room. He didn't even bother knocking. The door hissed open on its own. He entered the room and crept quietly inside. He picked up her diary.

"You're not allowed to open that." Said a voice behind him.

A hooded silhouette sat on the bed. As the figure turned around, the first things he noticed were her burgundy eyes. They were as red as rubies and as cold as a bloodthirsty killer.

"Raven," He stretched out his hands and touched her shoulder. "I'm sorry."

She blinked and her eyes were back to purple. "Help me." A tear went down her cheek as she bowed her head.

When she looked up, her crimson eyes were crying no more.

She had a tight grip on Robin's hand, and he was unable to look away from her eyes.

They were like blood searing his eyes. Her touch was like acid, burning through his skin.

"No!" he cried.

"No!" Robin sat bolt up. He was drenched in his own sweat, as he ran his hand through his hair. He quickly got up and got dressed.

He banged on his teammate's doors. "Wake up! We have to find her NOW!"

"Robin, what is the matter?" the Tamaranean alien rubbed her eyes as she went out of her room.

"We have to find Raven!" he shouted.

"But, man, it's three in the morning." Cyborg leaned on the frame of his door. "Look at Beastboy, man, be considerate!"

Beastboy was standing still, with drool dripping down his chin.

"Well, I'm going to find her whether you like it of not!" Robin stomped down the hallway.

He swung his leg over the R-cycle. He put his helmet on, and went out on the rain.

"Don't worry…I'll find you…"

Water splashed away from the wheels of the cycle, and rain fell down on Robin.

Stopping in front of a school, Robin came face to face with many more of Slade's robots. He removed his helmet and got out of his R-cycle.

He took out his bowstaff and twirled it in his fingers.

"Need someone to watch your back?" said a deep voice.

Robin looked back and saw his friends behind him. He smiled in gratitude. "Thanks."

"Titans go!"

"Aaarrggghhh!" Robin charged. His bowstaff went past the robot's faces and through their metallic bodies. Robin swiftly moved and soon after, they defeated all the robots.

Robin could hear his heavy breathing and he hiss of his bowstaff as he put it back in his belt.

He looked around and found that his friends were no longer there. And neither was he still in the streets.

He was inside a dark tower. He surveyed the room, and to his right, he saw a circle of gizmos and gears.

"The clock tower." He whispered.

Clapping filled the air. "Well done, Robin."

"Where is Raven!" he demanded, turning around. "If you touch a single hair on her head, I swear I'll…"

"Tsk, tsk, Robin. You are very aggressive, too aggressive." Slade had his hands behind his back as he circled the crouched Titan.

"You don't know how aggressive." Robin crouched down and attacked Slade. "Aargh!"

Robin's metal-toed shoes made contact with Slade's cheek, sending him to sway to the side.

Slade could feel the vehemence inside Robin. Every punch and every kick was harder than accustomed.

Slade blocked Robin's punches and kicks. Robin was breathing hard as he stepped away.

"Tired, Robin?" Slade asked sarcastically. "It's my turn."

His foot pushed Robin's stomach and blood spurt out of his mouth. He punched Robin's chest and kicked his side.

Robin fell on the floor, coughing out blood. Slade's hand went around Robin's neck, and he was lifted up to the air. His body was dangling from Slade's grip. His voice was hoarse, and he was struggling to get out.

"Raven," he said raucously.

"No, Robin, sadly, I won't be the one to kill you." Slade said, tightening his grip on Robin. Blood dripped down Robin's chin to Slade's hand. "But, it would be better to see you brought down by your own acquaintance."

Raven appeared from behind Slade, and Robin could see the fury burning inside her.

Her eyes were blank, but burning fire. And her face was plain, but it shows a not forgiven grudge.

Slade dropped Robin to the floor, leaving him to breathe freely.

Every breath had a cough and every cough spurted out blood.

He looked up and saw Raven, her hand in front of her, creating a large barrier between them. Her eyes were deep crimson and were blankly malevolent.

"I will destroy all my enemies. I will crush all the imbecilic bugs. So I will obliterate you and your precious teammates for ever being my friends."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Author's Note: Raven seems awfully evil. I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you on the next chapter.
