"Titans!" I called, walking through the misty neighborhood. "Titans?" I paused, then stepped over to a bench and sat down. Maybe they were scared, I thought wearily, maybe they decided to run, fearful that I would catch them. Huh.

Hearing no response, I got up from the seat, turned around and headed in the other direction. You'd think they'd be braver then that, though, I sighed sarcastically, they really should-

"Inferno! Now!" I turned quickly, but found myself engulfed by a circle of flames, keeping me from running away. Though, not like I was going to. I narrowed my eyes and focused on the familiar dark shapes approaching the fiery border. "Titans?" I said surprised. "W-what are you doing?" It was obvious: they were trapping someone. Trying to catch someone. Even possibly trying to eliminate someone. But I was hoping it was a mistake, I wasn't the person they were looking for. But something told me I was wrong.

"Huh," came a familiarly dark tone. "You think you can pretend to be innocent? Well… you were wrong!" The figures continued walking slowly toward me. "Raven?" I said, recognizing the voice to the gothic superhero. "What did I do? What's wrong?"

"You terrorized the city, though your eyes were red with rage; you probably didn't see anything." I placed this voice to Cyborg's. "Why you are doing this is unknown, but we most stop you anyway!" It shocked me to find this as Starfire's voice. Her sweet, loving voice was now gone, and replaced with a fearful but firm tone. "Red with rage? What do you mean? I didn't do anything!" I was starting to grow angry at these foolish games. I didn't do anything! "You had gone crazy: smashing cars, hurting innocent people. And you don't care?"

"Sure I care," I protested, knowing Beast Boy had just spoken. I couldn't think of anything else to say, except… "What if I make you a deal," I said slyly, making a back-up plan in my mind. "A deal?" Raven asked stupidly. "Why do you think we would make a deal with you when you just endangered hundreds of citizens for no reason?"

"All right, then," I said. "If you really don't want to," I slowly reached into my pocket and pulled out my Bird-a-rang, hiding it behind my back. Inferno's eyes were glowing a deep red as he concentrated on the fiery shield surrounding me. With one cat-like movement, I took the Bird-a-rang from behind my back and threw it towards Inferno.

At once, he lost concentration, and drew back in pain; the target had been hit in the arm. As fast as I could, I ran to the nearest tree and hid behind it. It grew silent; they were looking for me, trying not to be heard. I quickly descended from my hiding place, and went toward an old shack hidden by some trees.

It was familiar, this house. Worn with age, it's walls no longer held the tan wallpaper it once had. The roof leaked terribly, and there was a horrific stench filling the rooms. I walked down a narrow hallway to find two doors on either side at the end. I stepped into the one on the left, remembering it at once, and all to well. I knew what this was, every nook and cranny. It was my old house when I was little.

Before the accident, we would stay here during the summer while we had our break from performing. This room, like the rest of the house, was worn with age.

"Crack"

" Starfire! Shhh!"

"Sorry,"

There were people outside. Probably the others. I had to get out of here. I remembered the back door I used to go out of when I wanted to get away. I made my way back to the hall and went to the kitchen. The back door was almost shredded to pieces. The handle was rusted, but turned easily. I ran as fast as I could, welling up inside with desperation.

Wait a minute, I thought, Maybe I can… I closed my eyes and imagined myself flying, and in a matter of seconds, I could feel myself being pulled away from the ground. I opened my eyes, and marveled at the landscape far below me. I was flying! I wasn't holding on to Starfire, or riding a machine, I was flying.

Trying out how to steer myself, I imagined myself turning left, heading to Titan's Tower. And I was! It was amazing, I had never experienced such a pleasure as this.

Once again, I closed my eyes and pictured me landing in front of the giant T-shaped building. When I opened them, I was there: Titan's Tower. I hurried inside and went to my room. There, I hid in my closet and waited for them to find me here.

LATER

"Oh, Robin! Where are you?" Huh, they think they'll find me that way? Well, they're wrong! I was bubbling with senseless rage. I looked through a crack in the door and found a shadowy figure step in the room.

"Maybe he is in here…" Starfire's voice rang through my ears. She looked around for a minute, then walked closer to my hiding place. Closer, Starfire. Closer, closer…

She walked straight to the closet, and I pounced on her. I pinned her to the ground and looked straight in her face. "Hello," I said menacingly. "Hel-" I quickly covered her mouth so she couldn't talk. "You think you can outsmart me? Huh, ya right!" I was filled with tremendous rage. I couldn't think straight. Right now, I didn't know right from wrong.

I picked her up and headed for the main room. I found the rest of the Titans there, including Inferno. It took them a few seconds to notice me, but when they did, their eyes turned cruel and unkind. "What do you think you're doing!" Cyborg asked, motioning to Starfire. "Making my deal," I answered. With one catlike movement, I put my hand around Starfire's throat, leaving the other around her waist.

"What's your deal?" Raven asked hesitantly. "You leave me alone, set me free, and I'll give you the girl." The girl? I wondered. I had never called Starfire "the girl" like she was some thing. I was quite surprised with myself for thinking so cruelly. Everyone else was stunned, too, for they had puzzled expressions on their faces.

But then I wondered what am I going to do to her if they don't go with my deal? My mouth and hands seemed to have a mind of their own. Only the lord knows what might happen.

I walked closer to the others. But the thing is, I wasn't walking, my legs were against my will. Something strange was going on, and I couldn't believe that I hadn't realized it from the beginning. I felt like some puppet, with a villain for my master. But I wasn't going to let that happen much longer.

"Well," my mouth asked menacingly. "Will you make my deal?" I was afraid they'd say no. My hands were merciless, they wouldn't do what I told them. Only what they wanted to hear.

Help me… I tried to speak, but I could only hear my words in my mind. I tried with more effort, this time. Please, I don't know what I'm doing… This time I could hear mumbling, but that was all. I put all I had into it this time. "Guys… I… can't control…"

I couldn't finish. But I hoped they heard the message. "Robin?" My hands let go of Starfire, and she fell to the ground. She looked up at me, with those big emerald eyes. How beautiful they were. With her long golden hair. I could feel myself regaining control. Second by second, I could feel my strength returning to me.

I tried to say something again. "Guys… I can't control myself… the potion…" They understood now.

THE NEXT DAY

"Uhh," I opened my eyes and looked around wearily. I could hardly remember what had happened. I couldn't recall going to sleep, or even being put to sleep. Was it all some dream? But when I recognized the room as the Hospital, I realized it was real.

"Hello!" Starfire peaked around the corner of the door and ran in. "How are you, friend Robin," She smiled sweetly. I was surprised by her behavior. I almost killed her, I ruined the city, I… She gave me a hug, and then kneeled by my bed.

"Are you feeling better now?" She asked. "Yes, I am," I answered, somewhat embarrassed. Then I saw the other three pop their heads around the corner and come in.

"What's up, dude," Beast Boy said walking over to my bed. I looked around the room again. "Where's Alex and Inferno?"

"Thanks for a hi, hello, how are-"

"They're coming," Raven interrupted hastily. Then I saw them come in. Alex smiled at me, then went to sit in one of the chairs in the room. Inferno stepped up to me, said a silent hello, then retreated to the other seat.

"You're all so happy. Why? I trashed the city, almost killed Starfire, and-"

"Robin," Cyborg said calmly. "We now understand why. I ran some tests on the liquid you-"

"How'd you get that!"

"Um… That's not important," I looked at him stupidly. "Anyway, it was meant to totally take over your body so you loose complete control. No one knows what kind of things it will make you do, but it's all over now, so don't sweat."

"If you say so…" I mumbled.

"But why did the lady from the city let me off so easily?"

"Because we had agreed…" I tried to hold back his laughter. "We had agreed, you'd clean-up the city by yourself!" Cyborg couldn't hold it in much longer, he let out a giant laugh that echoed through-out the room.

"What!"

"Sorry, bro," Alex said as she exited through the door. "I will have you know I had nothing to do with this," Beast Boy said hesitantly. He followed Alex with Raven behind him. "I am sorry, friend Robin," Starfire said, walking through the door. "But it is fair."

"Um…" Inferno must have decided not to get involved, because he left waving nervously. "Hahaha," Cyborg chuckled as he too, left. "So much for friends." I said.
