Thank you Alexnandru Van Gordon, for being so supportive all through the writings that I have done!
On with chapter six!
The walk back to the tower was a long and painful one. Robin had lost her, he had lost the person he loved so very much.
"You idiot! Why weren't you there to protect her?" He yelled at himself. "You just let Slash get away with the most important person in the world to you, now he has the advantage, he has the upper hand."
Robin walked very slowly, trying to gather his thoughts into what he was going to tell the rest of the team. They needed to know, they obviously would notice one of the team is missing, then they would get suspicious that Robin did something. He needed to think of what to tell them.
At long last Robin had reached the tower and was hesitant about entering. What were they going to think? Would they leave? Not be his friends anymore, the mere thought of that struck his heart like a knife stabbing him. He needed to do this, he needed to tell the others.
He opened the door, and to his surprise, there was no one home.
'They must be still out on the assignments.' He thought to himself. So he went to take a shower and once again, gather his thoughts.
When Robin had come out of the shower he was ready to tell the others and headed downstairs. Sure enough they were all back and seemed really happy.
"Man, did you see the way I fed that piece of crap my sonic cannon?" Cyborg was yelling really loudly at Beast Boy.
"For the last time, yes, yes I did. How could I miss it? You were fighting him by yourself." Beast Boy retaliated.
"Hey, Robin. Where's Starfire?" Raven said when she had seen Robin enter.
"Umm, guys. I have really bad news." Robin said, his head hung low. He approached the couch and sat and told everyone the entire story from beginning to end.
"Say what? He kidnapped her? I thought he was after you." Cyborg said in a loud booming voice.
"Yeah, so did I. I have no idea what he wants with Star, but whatever it is. We need to get her back."
The others just nodded in agreement. This was the first time that anyone of them had been kidnapped, and they had no idea what to do. But they knew one thing for sure, Slash was not going to get away with it. No one harms or hurts a Titan, especially Robin's girlfriend. He was going to make sure he got Slash back nice and good.
'After all," Robin thought to himself. 'Revenge is a dish best served cold." He sniggered when he thought of this, his mind was racing, thinking about all the things he would do to Slash when they met again.
When they were all sitting on the couch, there was a slight beeping coming from the computer in front of all the low Titan's.
"Aww man, who could that be?" Cyborg moaned as he got up and went over to the computer to switch on the answering mechanism.
Almost immediately his face popped up. It was Slash and he was contacting the Titan's directly.
"You! You son of a bitch, what have you done with Starfire? I'll kill you!" Robin screamed. All his anger than was bottled up was releasing like a hot water geyser.
"Watch your language Robin, didn't you mother ever tell you to be nice to other people?"
"Yes she did, but you are not a person, you are a monster."
"We will have to fix that attitude problem soon, but for now I believe I have something of yours." He moved out of the way to reveal Starfire, strapped into a chair with many cuts a bruises on her. She also had a black eye.
"If you lay another hand on her, I will kill you." Robin was enraged now, but speaking very calmly, making it all the more effective. "I will come over there and rip your head off!"
"Ah ah ah. Robin be more kind, or else this kind of talk will land your friend in worse condition than she already is." He turned a dial and sent a shock of electricity coursing all throughout Starfire's body. She screamed in pain. "And you keep on speaking to me like that, it will get worse and worse."
Robin could not believe what was happening right now, Starfire was being hurt, badly and he could do nothing to stop it.
"Stop, please stop!" Robin was calling out. The other Titan's in complete shcok, unable to speak.
"Why are you doing this? You want me dead, you want me, so let the girl go and lets get this over with." Robin was getting his courage back, he wasn't going to stand around while some crazy man tortures his love.
"Always thinking about you aren't you? You are a very selfish boy, however you are right, this is about you." Slash started. "However, to make sure that you want to fight, I'm going to keep the girl as a little…encouragement for you to come here." He twisted the dial once again, sending even more electricity through Starfire's body.
"No! Stop! Don't kill her, you want me dead." Robin was starting to cry now. "If you want me dead, then come here and fight me, and kill me yourself."
"Hahaha, you think that I am going to kill you?" Slash said mockingly. "No, no Robin I am not going to kill you. You're going to kill yourself."
