Alone In the Dark

Chapter 2: Dreaming of You

Robin felt for anything in the darkness. Just one thing that might tell him he was safe, or even where he was.

What about her? Is she gone?

Robin felt hot, sticky sweat roll off of his face and the back of his neck. Everything he loved was gone. Robin slowly rose up from wherever he had been and stretched. A whirring from behind startled him. A blank computer stood facing him, on it where maps of crime sites in Jump City.

I'm back at Titans Tower, but where is everyone else?

Robin made his way towards the large, open window in the Titans' living room. Outside, the world was dark, with only a few lights still on. Robin placed a gloved hand on the window and sighed deeply.

The city is safe from Slade for now, but it's too late for her. How could I let this happen?

Robin made his way towards the elevator. Selecting the floor on which all the rooms were on, Robin waited. When the elevator arrived, he ran for the other Titans' rooms, barging into Cy's room. It was empty. So was BB's and Raven's. At last he came to Starfire's.

She's dead. Why do I think I can open her door and find her in there, happy as can be. I never even told here I love her.

Robin opened the door and saw someone sitting on the bed.

"Starfire?" Robin asked, heart leaping.

"Sorry to disappoint you Robin, but no. She's dead. Remember, you killed her. As you did with the other Titans." Came a cold, evil voice. Slade looked up at Robin, smiling.

"No…" Robin sighed, remembering Starfire cry out.

They're all gone. All of them…

"Yes, Robin. They are gone and you will be, too, when I'm finished here." Slade replied, stepping up to Robin. "You always foiled my plans. Did everything you could to ruin my life. All I wanted was to take over Jump City. But you, Robin, stopped me. So one by one, I killed your friends, picking them off like flies-"

"No…" Robin gasped, stepping back.

"-yes. I killed BB by throwing him off a bridge, poor fool forgot he could fly after our chat about Terra. And Raven was easy to kill. I got her mad, she loses control when she has emotions. All those emotions just bottled up inside her and…POOF! No more Raven-"

Robin ran blindly in the dark, running from Slade.

I'm alone. All alone and running from a demon in the dark.

"Cyborg was easy. Just pull out his computer and he didn't have enough human parts to survive. Couldn't breathe. And dear Starfire. You saw her die. So sad."

Somehow, Robin ended back up in the living room Flashbacks of the others played in his mind.

"Ha! I win, dude!" BB laughed proudly.

"No you didn't! No you didn't!" Cy yelled loudly grabbing for Beast Boy.

Raven looked up from her books and smiled, but quickly looked down again. Robin himself had been listening to music when Starfire came in and wanted them all to watch a documentary on foot fungus. It had been awful, but Robin made the Titans watch it.

"Did you enjoy the movie of the 'foot fungus'?" Starfire had asked him.

"Yeah, I did."

"Glorious! Then we can watch another one on the intestines tomorrow!"

Robin heard Slade behind him.

"Where are you going, Robin? Don't you want to play?" Slade sneered in his eerily calm voice.

"You killed HER!" Robin yelled and attempted to punch Slade. Slade hit him hard, so hard that Robin's skull made a sick, cracking sound. Robin heard a loud scream sound as things faded.

That's my scream.

The last thing Robin saw was Starfire bending over him, crying and holding his injured head.

"Robin, why are you frightened?" Starfire asked him.

"I love you, Star. And I'm sorry." Robin told her as everything went black.
