Trigon's fist came crashing down towards the two birds and Robin closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. A large crash above him and he opened one eye to look around him. Raven was in a sitting position, hands outstretched as she struggled to keep the barrier around them. Trigon was repeatedly bringing his fists down on the black bubble, trying to break it.
"Next time his hands come up, let go." Robin instructed Raven softly. Her nod was barely visible. Another bang was heard and Raven suddenly took down the barrier. Robin dove at her and grabbed her around the waist, his momentum propelling them out of harm's way, for the time being. Robin sat up beside Raven and laughed nervously. "That was close." He said to Raven.
"No, really? The others are still out. We need to get to them." Raven said with a sense of urgency beneath her monotone. The ground beneath them shifted, and they both looked down at the same time. Large cracks were running in all directions from where Trigon's fists were embedded in the floor. "Don't, move." Raven told Robin. He nodded and stayed rooted to the floor. Raven rose off the ground and closed her eyes. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven said. Black magic shot everywhere and Trigon was wrapped in black bonds. "That should hold him for an hour or so."
"Don't your bonds usually hold for longer than that?" Robin asked from the same spot he had been in on the floor.
"Usually people don't have powers like mine Robin." Raven remarked dryly. She lowered herself slightly and grabbed Robin's hands. "I don't know if the floor will hold. We need to get the others out of the room." Robin nodded. Raven set him down next to the wall slowly, testing to make sure the ground didn't crumble beneath them. Beast Boy floated towards them encased in Raven's magic and she set him in Robin's arms, still as an eagle. Raven floated Starfire to the door and then Cyborg. She picked Robin back up and landed next to the other two. Robin opened the door and Raven put the three unconscious titans out in the hallway.
"Now to deal with him." Robin said, nodding his head towards the still struggling Trigon. Raven nodded and flew over to where Trigon was.
"What should we do?" She called out to Robin.
"Dunno he's your dad." Robin said back. Raven rolled her eyes.
"I meant how should we, you know, kill him." Raven said quietly, hanging her head slightly.
"Oh. How do demons normally die?" Robin asked.
"Usually just a powerful blast of energy." Raven said. "But he isn't a normal demon."
"That I'm not!" Trigon roared. He threw his arms into the air, pushing the whole roof off. The tow remaining titans watched in horror as the roof spun through the air. A giant splash was heard a few seconds later. Trigon was freed from his bonds and the shattered magic dissipated around him. Raven tried to fly back to Robin but Trigon took two steps forward and grabbed the hem of her cape. Those two steps and the ground broke.
Trigon fell forward as the ground beneath his feet fell away. In his fall, he yanked Raven down and she slammed to the ground in front of Trigon, not moving. Trigon fell through the floor and could be heard crashing through many floors below on his long journey down to the bottom of the tower. One final crash was heard as Trigon hit rock bottom. The tower shook a little before settling down again. A few more pieces of concrete and plaster fell from the ceiling and ground before Robin took a cautious step towards Raven.
"Rae?" He called out. She didn't move. "Raven?" Robin called again. 'I can't get to her until Starfire or Beast Boy wakes up!' The ground gave a bit and Robin quickly leapt back to the wall. The floor fell away a little more, the hole coming dangerously close to Raven. 'Whatever I need to get to her before she falls through!' Robin took out a grappling hook and aimed it at a spot on the ceiling above Raven. 'Bulls eye.' Robin thought as it stuck above her. He pushed a button on the hook and it quickly retracted, pulling him sideways then up towards the ceiling above Raven. Robin tied the line around his waist and slowly lowered himself down to where Raven lay and reached down to grab her. A piece of debris fell from the ceiling where the hook was stuck. Robin watched it fall in slow motion before it hit the ground and bounced a little over the already cracked floor. 'Crap.'
The ground crumbled. Robin gasped and reached as far as he could but he could only get a finger on Raven's hood before she fell away from him. His eyes widened as he looked through the floor to see a hole extending all the way down to the bottom of the tower where Trigon lay, and Raven falling towards the bottom. 'I hope he's dead.' Robin thought angrily before cutting his line and diving after Raven. Taking out one of his longer lined hooks, he turned and shot it at the ceiling. Seeing it stick, Robin clamped his arms to his sides and went into a streamline position to catch up to Raven before she hit the ground.
Robin's eyes watered beneath his mask as the cold air hit his face. Raven was coming closer to him and Robin extended an arm. When he was finally right above her, Robin grabbed her around the waist and the line went taught. They bounced for a second before gently swinging in midair. Robin closed his eyes and let out a long breath. The thought of losing her in battle always ate at his heart, but this time and this morning had been too much. It was the closest he had ever come to losing her, and he had almost not gotten to her in time. He opened his eyes and looked down. Five feet below them lay Trigon. 'Too close…' Robin thought. They hung there for awhile, Robin holding onto his hook with one hand and the other holding Raven firmly against his body. Raven's head was leaning back on his shoulder and she was still unconscious. Robin let out another long sigh before slowly pulling them back up to the top floor.
When they reached solid ground, or as solid as possible at the moment, Robin lay Raven down on the floor in the hallway by the others. Cyborg and Starfire were awake and tending to Beast Boy who was still in his eagle form. Robin sat down next to Raven and put her head in his lap. He brushed a few stray locks of hair out of her face and gazed down at her. She looked so serene and innocent, certainly not someone who could destroy the world. He gently stroked the side of her ashen face, looking down at her with a tender and worried expression.
"Uh, Robin? You okay man?" Cyborg asked. Robin didn't answer. He just sat there with Raven.
'What did you lose that made you resort to suicide, Raven? Whatever you lost made me almost lose you. You will never know how much I love you. Not Starfire or anyone else can change that.' He thought to himself. Raven was slowly coming around.
"Robin?" She said quietly. She reached up to his face as if to make sure it was him. He smiled and took her small hand in his.
"Welcome back Raven." He joked. Raven's eyes were half open and she was still a little out of it.
"I love you Robin… I thought I lost your love when I saw you kiss Starfire. And that is what I could not tell you." She whispered, barely audible over the now awake Beast Boy who was complaining about how much he hurt and such. Robin's heart skipped a beat at Raven's words.
'She loves me too… But does she even know what she just said?' Robin thought. Raven blinked a few times before finally opening her eyes all the way.
"What's going on?" She asked, sitting up and putting a hand to her head.
"Trigon fell through the floor and you went with him." Robin summarized. She raised an eyebrow and Robin laughed nervously. "And then, you said some stuff."
"About what, exactly?" Raven said skeptically.
"About what you lost." He whispered to her. Her eyes grew wide.
"I told you that…" It was more of a statement than a question, but Robin answered anyway.
"Yes. And that wasn't my doing. She kissed me. But I only like her as a sister. Someone else already occupied my heart." Robin told Raven, taking her hands into his own. "A certain dark beauty that I almost lost twice today. But that won't happen again." A small smile crept onto Raven's face. The first real, genuine smile Robin had seen on her face in a long, long time. Raven slowly stood up and pulled Robin with her.
"We should probably call the construction people. Don't want the whole tower to collapse in on itself." Raven said, walking down the hall a bit to reach the phone. Robin sent the other three to the medical ward in the opposite direction, telling them they'd be there in a bit. Seeing them turn the corner, he turned back to Raven. She was in the midst of dialing a number. Robin snuck up on her from behind. In one motion, he jerked the phone cord out of the wall, turned Raven around in his arms and pressed his lips to hers. She delicately kissed him back for a little before pulling away. "The others are going to wonder where we are." She whispered to him, nose touching his.
"They'll just have to wait. This is more important." Robin told her before capturing her in a deep and passionate kiss. As the moonlight spilled into hallway from above, Raven broke the kiss for three words.
"I love you." She told him.
Robin took one of his hands from her hips and peeled off his mask to reveal sapphire eyes. Pulling her close again, Robin whispered into her ear, "I love you too, my Raven." The two continued to kiss in the hall, in their own little world among a broken tower where they had no troubles, just each other.
