A/N Hi again. Thank you to my reviewers. I only have one review to answer today:
starfireandrobinforever: Read chapter 5; just wait till I finish. And by the way, you are twisted, ya know?
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. I bet Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg are happy that I don't. Not to mention The Preppy Queen.
A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 8 Fight and flight: part 2
The titans ran back to the place where they had left Starfire, only to find her shoe, still untied and a piece of paper. Robin picked up the paper. It said:
If you want the girl back, Robin, you will join me. If you are wise, you will join me anyway. In other words: join me or say goodbye to the girl.
"Starfire!" yelled Robin. "Where are you?"
"Dude, is this some kind of a trick?" asked Beast Boy, after reading the note. Robin lowered is head, in morbid silence.
"We have to find her," said Raven. "Slade has Starfire. Nothing we can do, unless you count go in there and rescue her." Robin raised his head, and started sprinting towards the museum. Raven grabbed the back of his cape.
"By 'we', I mean Beast Boy, Cyborg and I. If you go in there, Slade will make you his apprentice again." Robin struggled, but gave up. Raven let go, and signaled that Beast boy and Cyborg were to follow her.
"Just bring back Starfire..." whispered Robin. He had never felt so helpless in all his life. Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg went over to the door. Raven nodded, and Cyborg used his Sonic Cannon to get it open. To there surprise, Kitten walked out. She looked around, and spotted Robin. He tried to get away, but too late.
"Oh, Robie-poo! What took you so long to get here? Gimme a hug!" Kitten squeezed Robin so hard that his head turned blue. He managed to pry himself from her grasp. He backed up.
"Where's Starfire?" he asked, his voice dangerously quiet. Two surprises in one day, Slade walked out of the blasted door. Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy watched in stunned silence, huge sweat drops running down the backs of their heads.
"Robin, I suppose you came for your little girlfriend. She is inside." Said Slade. Robin blushed, ever so slightly.
"She isn't my girlfriend. What do you want?"
"You should know by now, Robin. I want you to join me. I want you to be my apprentice."
"Never."
"Face facts, Robin. I've found your weakness. You have no choice." Robin came out of his fighting stance, and stood with his hands by his sides.
"I'll- I'll make you a deal."

Cyborg whispered, "Robin's got it bad. He knows that Slade could do anything, and he's offering to make a deal."
"He just needs to learn to put those kinds of feelings behind him. Otherwise, only bad can come of it." Agreed Raven.
"What feelings?" asked a dumbfounded Beast Boy.
"Haven't you noticed? Robin's cared about Star from the first day they met. Best friends? Yeah right." Said Cyborg. The reality of it hit Beast Boy like a 2 ton hammer.
'I messed up really bad.' He thought. 'Starfire is mad at Robin for something he didn't do. Mental note: never mess with Robin and Starfire.'
"We gotta get Starfire outta there." Said Cyborg.
"I have another plan" said Raven.
"Spill" said Cyborg.
"Another plan?" said Beast Boy, still in the dark of Raven's first plan.
"Don't ask. Okay, so one of us breaks in there as a distraction, and the other two go in this door, and try to find Starfire. If they get Robin, we have to find him, too." Beast Boy and Cyborg agreed.
"I'll be distraction!" said Beast Boy. 'It'll be the least I can do, after what I did before.'
()
"So tell me, Robin. What deal did you want to make me? Don't tell me yet. Come into the shade." Slade stepped into the dark museum, and Robin followed. Beast Boy followed too, in the form of a bug.
"Ok, Slade. The deal is-"
"None existent!" yelled beast Boy as he jumped out of his hiding place.
"Oh, I doubt that." Slade snapped his fingers, and the big door at the other end of the room opened, revealing Slade's minions. "After them!" yelled Slade. Robin and Beast Boy fought Slade's minions, and no one seemed to notice when Raven and Cyborg slipped through the door. Inside, two more robots served as guards. They attacked, and Cyborg destroyed them with one blast of his Plasma Gun. As they looked around, there was no sign of Starfire, but on the other end of the room was a conveyer belt with several half assembled robots.
"So this is where Slade makes all his robots..." said Cyborg. Raven gulped.
"So, are we going to destroy this factory or what?" asked Raven. As soon as these words were spoken, an alarm went off, blinking red. The door was closed in an air lock in 5 seconds flat.
"Get behind a crate." said Raven. They hid, waiting for something to happen. Something did, and that was that about 10 more robots 'woke up' and started to patrol the room.
"Azrath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" Raven sent crates at some of them, destroying them. Cyborg took the rest with his Plasma Gun. The door opened again, just long enough for Slade to slip through. Raven surrounded him with her black aura and, try as he might, he couldn't get away. The door opened, yet again, and Robin and Beast Boy came through. The door was probably motion sensitive, once unlocked. Raven released Slade, so that Robin could take him.
Robin pounced, and he and Slade fell into one of their trademark fights. Punching, kicking, bo-staffs flying, not to mention the verbal fight. Beast Boy turned into an elephant, and stomped every robot in sight. Slade eluded Robin long enough to run to the wall and push a red button.
"See you later Robin. That is, if there is a later for you."
"Self-destruct in 60 seconds. Please clear the area." Said a computerized voice.
A/N another cliffy? Review to find out what happens. 30 reviews to go on.
