Chapter Four: Perfect World
"Doesn't it hurt, Robin?" Slade asked mockingly, behind Raven.
Robin saw the blurry figure of the person he utterly hated. Desperately trying to stand up, he clutched his stomach. His head was pounding, synchronizing with his heartbeat, the heartbeat that will soon stop. He lay unmoving on the ground, breathing hard, trying to regain his composure.
I never could've seen this far
I never could've seen this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart, yeah
"Raven…I'm…" Robin whispered.
"Shut up!" Raven's eyes were full of rage, and fire. "I was never part of the team."
She smiled victoriously, and her eyes were fiery red. She chuckled sarcastically. "What team? The one that will die in my hands?"
"Raven…I…" Robin pushed himself up.
She looked at him in disgust.
Why is everything so hard?
I don't think that I can deal with the things you've said
It just won't go away
"What have you done to her? This isn't Raven! She's changed!"" Robin demanded.
"She's just, in a sort of trance." Slade explained, motioning to Raven. "She is no different. She is just expressing how she feels about you, and the Teen Titans."
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing, nothing at all
"No! That's not true! Shut up, Slade and tell the truth!" Robin finally regained his strength. He ran towards Slade but he was stopped by the electricity sent to him by the barrier.
He crashed down on the hard floor.
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through, yeah
"Raven, remember, you're not a Teen Titan." Slade whispered to Raven's ear.
"Aaaarrgghhh!" She shouted angrily. Her eyes burned bright red. It was as red as the fire. The barrier got thicker.
"Yes, Raven, you are mad at them." Slade continued. "They hate you, now that you're a villain."
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" The barrier got thicker, leaving Robin with a little space to move.
"Raven! Don't listen to him!" Robin shouted.
All the gears in the clock crushed themselves, and turned into dust.
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Cause I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Without you I just can't find my way
Slade's laughter filled the air; he loved to see Robin's defeat.
"Raven…" he whispered softly.
I don't know what I should do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
He felt defeated, confused, hurt. "Raven…"
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go
"…I'm sorry…" He stood up, hoping he would see everything back to what it was.
"Shut up!" Raven basted him with the strongest of her powers, and her eyes were burning red. Robin looked at them; they were searing pain to his eyes. He didn't even bother shielding himself. He closed his eyes, ready for what was coming after. He was defeated.
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing, nothing at all
Robin opened his eyes, only to see blue magic around him.
It was like glitter falling from above him.
He looked at his hand and saw the wounds healing themselves.
He looked curiously at Raven, tears were falling down her cheeks and the barrier was broken.
Robin walked towards her.
"No!" cried Slade, he was overpowered. His opponent was well, and his weapon was defeated by a confession. "I will find a way, Robin. I will find a way." He disappeared into the darkness.
Robin carefully walked to the crying girl who was crouched down on the ground.
"Raven," Robin wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay."
Raven looked back at him with her pale purple eyes. "Thanks." She rested her head on his shoulder.

Author's note: So what do you think? Was I too hard on Robin? Was Raven too evil? Was it too mushy? Please, please tell me what you think.
