(What can I say? I actually am enjoying writing this. I missed having something Robin centered…Well here's more for anyone who's interested…)

Robin let out a sigh as he looked the gothic girl over. She hadn't said anything in the past few minutes but he didn't mind, staring at her suited him just fine. She's beautiful… He thought, Slade leaving his mind. I wish I could get my feelings across to her, but that would require telling her, which I really don't think I could do…without messing up that is. And what if she doesn't feel the same?

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Robin?" She asked, sounding annoyed. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Robin felt himself blush. "I wasn't looking at you; I got lost of thought and was looking strait forward. You just happened to be in my way." He knew she wouldn't believe any excuses, he had been caught. Damn it, I'm such an idiot…

"You really need to get some sleep," She said, deciding to let the subject drop. "You look exhausted. If this is about Slade-"

That name struck a nerve and caused him to loose his temper. "Why does everything I do need to be about Slade in some way or another?" He snapped. "I'm sorry that I don't want everyone being killed! I may think about him a lot but it's only because I want to protect the city!" He banged his fist on the table, causing Raven's eyes to widen. "My whole life doesn't revolve around him, okay? So why don't you just let it go!" He stood up and got in her face. "I might have been Red X, I might have been his apprentice but all for good causes! I'm the good guy, remember?" He let out a breath in frustration and stormed out of the room.

Raven watched him walk into the hall and disappear into the darkness of the night. "Well you don't have to obsess over him!" She shouted after him but soon regretted it. "What's wrong with him?" She whispered.

Robin saw Starfire coming down the hall to (what he guessed anyway) see what the noise was about. He was in no mood to talk to her or anybody else and opened the door to room closest to him, the bathroom. He shut the door and locked it.

Robin walked over to the sink so three mirrors were right in front of him. "How do I always mess up?" He shouted at the reflections. "Why can't I do anything right? Why can't she see that I love her!" His last sentence echoed throughout the bathroom, almost in a taunting way.

Slade's reflection appeared in the mirror directly in front of him, smirking. Robin looked all over the room but Slade wasn't there. "What the-" He said but was cut off.

"So you love the girl do you Robin?" Slade's reflection asked, his voice dripping with the power that he had over the masked boy. "Too bad you can't help but lash out at her…not a very good way to show your feelings." He smiled.

"You're not here," Said Robin looking over his shoulder quickly. "How can I see you?"

Slade let out a small laugh. "I'm here, Robin. I'm always here, always with you. I never leave."

Robin began to panic and walked away from Slade's reflection, only causing Slade to laugh more. "You're not here…" Said Robin, his voice shaking. "You tried to trick me last time into thinking that but I won't fall for it again. You're not here….You're not here!" He screamed the words in complete hate.

"Then why can't I leave your thoughts?" Asked Slade, ready to prove himself right. "Why do I always come back to haunt you? Why can't your friends stop comparing us? Even that Raven girl brought me up tonight and I know that won't be the last time it happens." Slade looked directly into Robin's eyes. "You belong with me Robin. That's where you've always belonged. We all know you're not a good boy, no matter how hard you try to hide it."

"That's a lie!" He shouted. "I'm the good guy! The hero! I belong here with my friends!"

"Think about it for awhile and then see," Slade said and then his reflection vanished.

"I'm the good guy…" He repeated, trying to reassure himself. "The hero…" He looked down at his hands which were shaking and his breathing began to quicken.

He looked back up at the mirrors and each one showed a different image. The one to the left showed Red X, the one in the center showed him as Robin, and the one to the right showed him as Slade's apprentice. "No!" He screamed and smashed the two mirrors with him portrayed as a criminal. He sunk to the floor, hands full of blood. "I'm not evil…" He looked up-yet again-at the mirrors and saw what he didn't want to. His reflection, him as Slade's apprentice.

"I hate you!" He shouted, glaring at his reflection. "I hate Slade! I HATE MYSELF!" He smashed the remaining mirror and looked at the shards around him. "I hate myself…" He said in a whisper. Tears leaked out the corners of his eyes and he layed himself across the area, allowing himself to bleed.
