DISCALIMER: I own nothing. Nada. Not The Teen Titans, not Batman. None of it's mine except the story line, and I'm not making any money from this, it's all for fun...(I think that's everything...).
SUMMARY: When an old enemy of Robin's comes to town, so does Batman. The Titans learn of Robin's past, and much more... but what about his future?
NOTE: Thanks everyone who reviewed! I'm sorry for the last chapter, there were quite a few spelling mistakes. I didn't notice till just.
And, yes, it is a race, Alexnandru Van Gordon, I'm determined to post two chapters without you managing to review inbetween...lol! And it's easy for you to say "write another chapter tonight." Dude, I live in England, we're five or more hours ahead of you and it's 0650. Shish : ). WATCH OUT FOR THAT BOULDER! Doh! That's gotta hurt!
Anyway, onwards! (I really need to stop saying that!)
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
CHAPTER FIVE
Robin hadn't gone to his room. He was standing in the hall listening to what Batman was saying. He couldn't help but smile when Beastboy kept interupting. He waited until Batman had finished and went to enter the room. He stoped when he heard Two-Face's voice. He stood, listening. After Two-Face had finished, he walked in. "So, what do we do?" He asked.
They all turned to face him. "I thought you were asleep?" Batman asked, walking over to him from the console. "You Ok?" He asked quietly so only Robin could hear.
Robin nodded. "Thanks, Bru..." He stopped himself. "Thanks, Batman."
Batman gave him a quick tap on the shoulder. "I'm going back to the lab." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. He turned to face the other Titans. "Keep looking. If we can find Two-Face, we might be able to stop this." He quickly looked at Robin, then back to the Titans. "And keep an eye on him." He added before leaving.
Robin made his way over to the sofa and sat down. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" He asked. They quickly stoped staring at Robin and looked away.
All except Starfire, who lept onto him, wailing. "Robin!" she cried. "We do not wish for you to die!" She began crying again and buried her head in Robin's shoulder.
"Woh, 'Star." Robin said, placing his arms around her. "Look, I." He stoped. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't promise he wouldn't die, that everything would be Ok. He wanted to, more than anything for their sakes, but what if it wasn't?
"So what happens now?" Cyborg asked once Starfire's sobs had subsided a little. "I mean, with...with you."
Robin shrugged. "I get sick."Robin answered. It sounded much more blunt than he wanted it to.
"How's sick's sick?" Raven asked. "I mean, do you think I'll be able to help?"
"No," Robin said. "Even if you could I couldn't ask you." His arm was starting to go numb. He tried to shift it a little out of Starfire's grip, but it didn't work. "I don't know what's going to happen. Batman said it's mutated from last time but, if it's anything like that,then my body'll just start to shut down and I'll..."
Before he could finish the sentence, Starfire started crying again. "You shall not die! I will not let you! We will not let you!"
" 'Star, take it easy, OK?" Robin said as she nestled herself futher unto his shoulder.
"Dude," Beastboy said, looking as if he was, for once, deep in thought. "You grew up with Bruce Wayne AND Batman?" Robin nodded, slightly thrown off by Beastboy's change of topic. "Dude! That is so sweet!"
Robin couldn't help but smile. Trust Beastboy. He let out a little laugh.
"Robin?" Raven said. He looked at her. "You're bleeding again."
TBC...
Yep, chapter's definatly shrinking! I'm hoping this won't turn into a Rob/Star fic. It's just he's her best friend so, y'know.
Well, it's 0715 here so I've been awake for pretty much 24hrs and figure, as I start work at 1400 I should at least try and get a little shut eye. And that seemed to be a good place to end it. Hey, the sun's come up. Kwel.
