RAVEN-ROBIN CONVERSATION
After Beast Boy left, Raven decided to tell Robin the cold hard facts.
"Robin, being a Titan will probably be no fun for a while, Cyborg will work you the most, Starfire will probably reject and resent you, and you will probably abhor the aggressive tactics we are currently using, however those are only some of the problems you will face in Jump City, the press will have a field day and compare you to the old Robin. Like it or not you are under the old Robin's shadow, and the press will look for anything negative about you and publish it to hurt your name. They cant accept anyone replacing Robin or going beyond him, there goal will be to make you look human and make the old Robin look like a legend, be careful where you go, what you do, or who you are with. If you are willing to go through all these challenges than come with me and Beast Boy and be a Teen Titan, however I will not look at you as a loser, or coward if you decide not to go either," Raven gave Robin the choice
Robin thought hard about it, God, life sounds like it will be a living hell, but the weather is nice and I can make a name for my self as a teen superhero. "I will go," Robin said in his gruff, deep voice.
He is a lot darker than the last Robin, that is a fact, but. "Now that you're a Titan, the gruff, deep voice wont be necessary, speak normal," Raven told him
Damn, the witch is good
Don't call me a witch
Robin was startled, however, he regained his composure, gave a weak grin and said in a typical fifteen year old Midwest accent, "All right, I will keep my voice if it makes you and the Titans happy,"
Grinning a little Raven said, "Good now lets go,"
FRONT DOOR OF WAYNE MANOR
Beast Boy approached the two as they waited quietly, and patiently for Beast Boy to show up. "Ready to go?" Raven asked the two boys, both of them nodded
After saying the magic words a black sphere enveloped them and instantly they were transported back to Jump City.
OUTSIDE TITANS TOWER
"Welcome to your new home," Beast Boy told Robin.
Robin looked at the large "T", it was very large and impressive from the outside. They walked to the front door and Robin's heart began to beat fast, what if they don't accept me. Pull yourself back together, these are your new teammates, they have to accept you. They entered the living room which was dimly lit. "Where is everybody?" Robin asked
"Cyborg is on his way upstairs and Starfire is on her way from her daily trip to the sea," Raven told him
Five minutes latter Cyborg entered the room and was stunned for several minutes, he thought, Robin is dead, it cant be. He quickly realized this Robin was younger and smaller than the old one and pulled himself back together. "You're the new Robin," Cyborg stated to the young hero as he walked towards him
"Yeah, I am Robin, pleasure to meet you," Robin said shaking hands with his new leader, Robin was shaking inside, he was very nervous and wanted to make a good impression
"Pleasure is all mine, we can talk in more detail in a few moments, let me just take your picture and announce you as a new Titan so people don't think you're a weird Robin fanatic fan," Cyborg quickly explained to Robin. Robin nodded a little surprised he was being integrated so quickly. Robin stood silently and faced Cyborg.
"Where is the camara?" Robin asked a little confused at why Cyborg wasn't moving for a camara
"My red eye has a built in camera, so…yeah perfect," Cyborg said as he quickly walked out to send the picture and brief message to the Jump City media and the police and mayor's office.
"Is he usually so quick to get things done?" Robin said feeling a little surprised at how brief and quick the first meeting had been
"No he isn't, he has changed a lot since the late Robin's unfortunate death, but Starfire has changed the most, becareful when it comes to her, she is emotionally unstable," Raven warned Robin, Beast Boy nodded in agreement. Several moments later Cyborg came back and began asking Robin some questions on Robin's skills, and past. The interview went well until Starfire entered the room.
"WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER!" she screamed as she zapped Robin with a star bolt, Robin fell back, grunting in pain
"What the hell are you doing Star, he is the new member!" Cyborg scolded her angrily
"What do you mean? We are replacing Robin with this… fake Robin!" Star continued, the anger still in her voice.
"We aren't replacing anyone Star!" Beast Boy pleaded to Starfire
Robin regained his composure and looked at Starfire in fear and amazement. Despite the fact her hair and clothes were untidy, she was simply put the most stunning creature he had ever laid his eyes on. However the fear was from the deep hatred he saw in her eyes as she glared at him
"You must pick a different uniform!" thundered Starfire.
"No, I am Robin, you better get used to it," Robin responded. Beautiful or not he wasn't going to have her dictate his life. The other three Titans just watched with a mix feeling of horror and amazement as these two heroes were almost about to go kill each other within moments of meeting one another.
"No, I wont get used to it, we must settle our dispute in battle," Starfire spat at Robin menacingly
"Starfire, he has every right to be Robin, he has been selected by Batman himself to be the new Robin," Cyborg tried to explain to Starfire, however she didn't flinch, she continued to stare at Robin.
"Thanks for the support Cyborg but I will take her up on her offer, we will settle this through a battle," Robin declared in a very angry voice
"Excelent, let us do battle outside right away!" Starfire said, but not in her typical excited voice, but in an almost evil voice filled with hate and anger
As the Titans walked outside in silence Raven could sense the hate flowing through Starfire and it disturbed Raven to the core. She had never seen her friend so angry, she hadn't seen any of the Titans filled with such negative emotions before, except the old Robin.
They reached outside, when Robin went to one side and Starfire on the other. Starfire's eyes glowed green, and her hands glowed, Robin, had his own staff out, along with his own custom disks. They had more of a bird look than the last Robin's. Before Star could begin her barrage of star bolts Cyborg went in between the two of them. He looked somberly at both of them and said, "Since you two want to go at each other over a name, you will have to follow my rules all right," after Starfire and Robin nodded he continued, "No flying, first one to fall down loses." Cyborg told the two. Star didn't like the no flying rule, no matter, I can still beat this imposter to the ground. Star thought as she fell down to the ground.
Star charged straight at Robin, she flung star bolts and prepared to smash him to the ground with her fists. However, she was shocked to see this Robin do a very strange manouvere with his staff and doge the star bolts. Star's plan was to go straight for the knock out and she intended to keep him in place with the star bolts, now he was behind her and she couldn't stop because she had so much momentum. She felt a sting of pain and she fell forward on the ground with a hard thump. The other Titans looked at the scene in front of them in stunned silence. Starfire, arguable the strongest Titan, was beaten in mere seconds by a new Titan, a complete nobody.
"Guess your Robin," Cyborg said to Robin. Robin didn't smile but nod, he also seemed kind of shocked that he had beaten her so quickly. "Beast Boy, lets show Robin his new room, Raven, you should go get Starfire back together," Cyborg said as he and Beast Boy began leading Robin into the Tower.
Raven walked towards Starfire who was still on the ground crying. He heard her muttering, "I am so sorry, I am so sorry," repeatedly in a sad tone of almost sounding like sham.
"Who are you apologizing to?" Raven asked curious
"The real Robin, I am apologizing to the real Robin for failing him," she studered as she continued to sob.
"What do you mean fail him?" Raven asked in a soothing voice as she kneeled to help Star get up.
"His name, his honor has been taken! His name and reputation has been stolen by this imposter!" Star cried out, breaking into a new fresh round of tears
"No Star, his honor nor his name have been taken. Robin is a legend, especially in this city, there are statues of him across the globe, his tomb has visitors daily paying respect to him, his name will always live on," Raven said trying to reassure Star.
"Leave me alone…I have to continue my mourning on my own, and decide what I must do to survive with the imposter…" Star said in a distant voice as she began flying away.
"Please don't call him imposter, he is new, he has impossible shoes to fill, I know the city will not accept him at first or at all, he should at least feel safe and relaxed at his home," Raven begged Star
"I am sorry friend Raven but I refuse to call him Robin, there can only be one Robin…" with that she flew away
When will she get over it… Raven thought as she sat on her knees shaking her head as she continued to shake her head in sadness
