Planning
I sat atop the roof, staring off into the ocean. Barely visible, the fair, which had returned from last year. Tears returned to my eyes, remebering the candy of cotton and the rather large wheel in which I had rode in with Robin. I decided to allow them to flow freely down me cheeks. It isn't fair.. Robin shouldn't be suffering like this.. why am I making him go through this! Wait! I CAN'T let him go through this any longer! In fact.. he shall not! I will get the willing members of the team, definately all of them, to come for a rescue mission. Cyborg would track Robin's communicator, and Beast Boy would carry Cyborg as meand Raven flew, to get our lost friend. A feeling of joy overcame me, and I nearly flew out of Earth's atmosphere because I was so over-joyed. I made myself sober down, so I could float back down to Earth, the Tower, and my friends.. most of my friends.. to tell them the plan.
I got back down to the Tower, though, truthfully, I wished I could keep looking at the ocean from above... I couldn't see the fair to remind me of Robin, and the ocean looked so tranquil... but, what would make me feel better yet, is having Robin back, as the captian, and as my friend. In fact, since he had just told me how he felt of me..well, it would most likely turn up to something more. I smiled lightly at the thought of Robin pulling me close, in a soft embrace, and then kissing me softly while whispering I love you... But, then again, I was probably reading to many of Raven's romance books.
I went inside the Tower, to see everyone else inside the main room. Raven reading, and Beast Boy and Cyborg playing a video game, as usual. "Guys? I think we should.. go after Robin." I said timidly. Even though it had been a few weeks since I had become a captian, I wasn't used to the public talking and telling others what to do. it just, simply, wasn't me at all. "Boyah! FINALLY! Let's go!" shouted Cyborg, nearly breaking the game. "Dude!" cried Beast Boy "I was actually winning!" "This is more important." said Raven in a monotone voice, marking her page quickly with a black boomark, complete with a small tassle, that fit her perfectly. "Oh, right." said Beast Boy, embarressed. "When do we leave?" asked Cyborg. "As soon as you can track down Robin's communicator signal." I replied. He nodded and began looking for it. "Hmm.. the signal is destroyed. But, I think I have another idea.." he started.
He briskly walked to Robin's room, and typed a complete override code for the rooms. The door opened. The code had been installed, after Raven had complained about a total lack of privacy. Now, to get inside a room, you had to know the code, know the overide code (which wasn't used, unless in emergancies), or know the normal code for the door. So far, it had kept Raven from complaining, and most of the others. He looked around his room, which ahd mainly Slade leads and articles, his mask, and about anything else relating to Slade in it, but it also had stuff from other random villans and the HIVe, including.. a communicator! "Got it." said Cyborg. "I just feed in a few electrical codes to use it to find others like it, and we will be one our way." "Great, friend Cyborg!" I said, wrapping a tight hug around him.
It didn't take long to find identical codes, only about 15 minutes of searching the city, and even Jump City. It came up with many of them, all around the same area, and mainly moving in the same concentrated area as well. "That.. is definatley the HIVE. The signal is coming from about 50 feet below the ground, and we have got to find out what the entrance is, or make one ourselves." said Cyborg suggestively. "Whichever is faster. I should have done this a long time ago." I said through clenched teeth, knowing that I was wrong in moping, instead of DOING something about Robin's predicament.
Raven, me, and Beast Boy flew to the area, with me carrying Cyborg, dor he didn't want to risk his T-Car, for good reason. It would most likely be blown up, once again, and Cyborg would have to start over making it, once again. We finally got to the point of destination, and Beast Boy looked around for a way to get in. It didn't take him to long, with Ravens help, to burrow down, deep into the earth, to find a tunnel, leading to the entrance to the HIVE. "Let's do this." I said outloud, and everyone nodded, as we headed down the dark, damp tunnel, into a place where, we would fight and fight, trying to get our best friend back.
