Samanthe2121: Well it must be because there's a reason for it. lol.

Starfire-is-not-wimp: :Joins chorus: Robin's gonna get in trouble! Robin's gonna get in trouble! Robin's gonna get in trouble:Starfire-is-not-wimp hits me over the head with a golf club: Ow, thanks! Anyway yes I will admit that a lot of that episode was funny. Like I think Raven said the most hilarious line she has ever said in the history of that show! When they finally get the old lady back in the pie and they're all standing around it and Cyborg asks "Sooo, she's in the pie now?" Raven says "Sure, Okay" shrugs and walks off. I swear I died I was laughing so hard. I mean here I am still talking about it :sighs: Anyway, yes Robin was defiantly putting things into perspective in this chapter. After I read your review I went back to the part with the starry eyes and I was like "Wow, he does seem like a child there." An excellent observation.

And yes I recommend, nay I order to get out there and see the movie! That is unless you've already seen it by the time you're reading this. Then in that case, go see it again! I watch a little anime; like Ruoni Kenshin (that's an awesome show), and a new one called Samurai Champloo. Have you seen that one yet, it's a lot like Kenshin only I think it's a lot more graphic as far as blood and stuff. I like just about anything that has to do with samurai, just check my name. One of my favorite movies is the Last Samurai. :Two thumbs up: And thanks, I really enjoy your writing as well. Well got to go so you can go ahead and read this chapter. Laters!

Kazzy 103: Yes I will agree what Raven did was an improvement. Though your question will be answered very shortly as you find out just what happens pretty soon. The reason Robin and Starfire will so well is the balance of personalities. Robin is a somewhat darker individual who feels a little lonely at times. And then you have Starfire; a naturally jovial, innocent, and adorable. She basically helps to uplift him from his down times and despairs. I'm sorry to all those RobRae shippers out there but Raven simply can't do that. I know I eagerly await the TT movie, they said production was going to begin in late spring so that means I have no idea when it's coming out. Oh well, I still can't wait. Batman Begins is now one of my favorite movies; mostly because it had my favorite villain in it. Ra's Al Ghul is just so awesome. So, I'll stop talking so you can read the fic.

Oenone: There's nothing worse than an angry mentor, especially when he happens to be Batman.

Starsweetie: No its not just you, I said at the beginning of this fic that it was a bit of Star Wars parody. I hope it doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Likinparkh2over: Thanks, I am honored to be in your favorites :Bows head:

Starfire princess of Tamaran: Really? I hope its not too tense to read. Glad you like it anyway.

Greendayrox1999: No kidding, I'd probably just jump off the roof right then. Well, no I wouldn't…but you get the idea.

Star + Robin: I say this with complete sincerity; this review really meant a lot. I'm really glad you like it so much. I mean I very rarely get told my story should be made into an episode. You know what I love you too. :Gives you a hug: Only you might wanna watch out for them security guards. LOL. Can't wait to see what you think of this next chapter. Laters!

KaliAnn: Hey that's okay, I'm glad you got to read it anyway. I'm also glad you enjoyed the fight so well. I have others which I hope you'll like just as much.

Little Red Ravenhood: Man I'm sorry but I don't know anymore then what I told you last chapter. It's a damn shame but even on they have very little on the subject.

WHOCARES: Don't worry, I try to update as soon as I can.

A Fan of Romance: Yes! We can all celebrate that Robin is no longer fighting his own people. And Terra has become a vegetable!

RainDragon: I forgot if I already said this in my review for your story; but many of these stories on this website are predictable. I am still very glad you enjoy it none the less.

Anwen: Thanks, I try to stay focused as far as updating goes. People take the time to read and review the leas one can do is get the next chapter out to them as quickly as possible. Its common courtesy.

Invader Crystal: Thanks:Hands cat to my sister: OOPS! I forgot my sister is allergic to cats. :Smiles evilly: Or did I?

TTHPFAN: What did Raven do to Terra? Well I'm afraid I can't really tell you that right now. You should read and find out. And yes Robin is finally back to normal and with Star where he belongs. And alls well that ends well, WAIT! The story's not over yet. It's not over until it says Fin at the end. You know I haven't been to a drive in movie in such a long time. I think the last movie I saw at a drive in was Power Rangers the Movie about nine years ago. That's a longo time. And in retrospect I kinda wish I had seen something better, oh well. Hey, it's perfectly okay to ramble. You can ramble all you want, your one of the people I look forward to hearing from. Please ramble; it makes for a good conversation. Glad you enjoyed this chapter I eagerly await your opinion on this one. Oh and your still interested in 'Titan Supremacy' right? I'm sorry I'm so wrapped up in this story I fell out of my patteren of switching between updates. See ya. –Dan-

Mr. Rogers: No offense…but I would really like to know just what hell "Blob" is all about. Seriously what are you talking about?

Dstar504: Hey everyone has a passion in life, yours just happens to be Robin being evil. And you know what, that's perfectly okay. You just have to deal with the fact that he eventually changes back to being a good guy. In my stories anyway.

Cottoncandyclouds: Though I applaud your cuz's Valiant attempt at one of the most difficult weapons in all of martial arts, it was still a crazy thing to do. I tried it once and di the exact same thing. My head was throbbing for hours. I have pity for your cousin, cause I know how it feels.

Jeanniestorm: No, no I think you really are psychic. Really its very possible. Or I could just have no idea what I'm talking about. :slaps self out of spacing out: Anyway I'm sorry for keeping your waiting, here's your update without any further interruptions.

Roi-Tan: I don't mean to sound smug; but you think that was intense just wait till a later chapter (not this one) comes up. I would disagree though, I really liked Batman.

Story Weaver1: Ohhh boy, the only thing more brooding than an angry mentor is an angry girlfriend. :coughStarfirecough:

Once again thank you so much for your reviews; I enjoyed reading every single one of them (Though I would really like Mr. Rogers to explain his a little more). Now on with the story!

Chapter Nine

To Change or not to Change

"Alright, Slade's hiding in some house on the outskirts of Gotham so if we leave now we could be there before nightfall."

"Agreed Robin; however there is someone else who wishes to speak with you."

"What? Who?" She glanced over his shoulder and Robin turned to see his mentor standing behind him. Robin immediately stood up straight. "B-Bruce?" The dark knight of Gotham himself gave Robin a short nod. "How long have you…been standing there?"

"Don't worry I didn't hear your conversation," he replied in a gruff voice. "However…" He shot a quick glance at Starfire and she nodded.

"I shall go and see to freeing our friends inside the tower," said Starfire gliding away.

"Wait Star, be careful there are probably three dozen drones down there too," called Robin. She nodded with a smile and disappeared down the stairs. Robin then gulped and turned back to his father figure. He had always been way taller then Robin, however right now Robin felt no bigger than two inches.

"First off, I would really like to know just why you even considered working with one of your enemies; your arch enemy no less." Robin hung his head in shame. "This goes against everything I taught you," added Batman fiercely.

"Starfire was in danger," said Robin. Batman let out a short breath and eyed the staircase that she had traveled down. He then shot his gaze back to Robin.

"Principles and virtues are not things you can just throw out the window when you deem it necessary. When your life is over and your standing before your creator such things as 'I was ordered by another' or 'Morality was not convenient at the time' will not suffice!" Robin hung his head, if possible, even lower. Batman looked around for a moment and lessened the tension in his voice. "As it turns out Raven has discovered how to destroy whatever was infecting Starfire." Robin's head shot up.

"Really! She has? What is it?"

"It really was a virus; however the strain had been engineered to respond to certain radio signals. In short they were designed to act at a preordained moment." He handed him a small disk not unlike the ones Robin already carried. "A small EMP blast should take them out for good." Robin took it and shook his head while stuffing it away.

"But how do we get them out of her system once they're fried?"

"The immune system should take care of that, as it is both Titans seemed to be cured already. However I want you to hold on to that just in case." Robin nodded. Batman then walked up to the ledge and looked out over the side. Robin followed and stood next to him. "It's occurrences like these that remind me why I don't become involved with others." Robin looked over at him.

"I know, but Starfire is different. It's as if whenever she's around I-"

"You don't need to go in detail Robin I get the idea," interrupted Batman. Robin had to grin. He just wouldn't be Batman if he wasn't a little rude all the time. "Whether you want to believe it or not I do know Slade, and how his mind works. And I can promise you he had no intention of giving you what you needed to save her."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry to me; be sorry to the ones coming up the stairs." Robin quickly turned and saw Starfire coming back out, the Titans East closely following behind her. He turned back only to find that Batman had made his signature disappearance. He figured he would stay facing away from them as much as he possibly could. Finally he heard Starfire clear her throat.

"Robin, I believe you have something of importance to say to our friends." He stiffly turned around and was not the least bit surprised to see a horrible glare plastered on each of their faces. Robin stood open mouthed at his loss for words. Bumble Bee stepped out from behind Starfire and crossed her arms.

"Boy, you better consider yourself lucky I can grow these back," she said gesturing to her amputated wings. He nodded like his neck was made out of rubber and saw Aqualad moving his busted jaw around. Robin saw that he was receiving no reprieve from either Speedy or Mas and Menos. He sighed and shifted his weight.

"Look guys…I made a very bad mistake." Speedy snickered.

"Very bad, thank you for putting it so delicately."

"Yeah what you now? The boy wonder of understatements," quipped Aqualad. Mas and Menos suddenly broke into a really long and angry speech, one which only they could understand. Finally Robin had had enough.

"ALRIGHT I GET IT," he roared. "I was a dam fool you don't need to rub it in anymore."

"Nooo I think we do," said Bee with a sarcastic grin. "I mean it's not everyday a friend and ally comes and shatters our trust. Do us a favor, pal, leave and don't ever come back."

"No!" Interjected Starfire. "Please you must not say things like that. Robin has admitted his faults and is in the process of making repressions."

"This has nothing to do with you Starfire," said Speedy. "Actually you more of a victim, like us."

"If memory serves me correctly, you once carried out the bidding of an evil individual," said Starfire now standing next to Robin. They all looked around at each other. Bee then shook her head.

"That was a totally different situation Star; we were being manipulated by someone with a powerful mind." Starfire smiled lightly at how easily she was going to win this argument.

"Is not Slade someone with a powerful mind, who used his ways to sway Robin from the truth? However abstract his methods are very much similar. You cannot deny that Robin has been the most victimized out of all of us." Bee opened her mouth to respond but found she had no return argument. She looked back at her teammates for help but they couldn't do anymore then she could. Robin stepped out from behind Star and stood before the five angry Titans.

"I know I shouldn't have listened to Slade in the first place, that I should have just let Raven come up with the idea that she was about to tell me awhile ago. But since I didn't do all that I'm going to promise you that I will find Slade and he will pay for all of this." He looked each of them in the eyes. "So help me God I will." Starfire nodded behind him and took his shoulder.

"An admirable idea Robin, I will accompany you."

"Well…," said Speedy. They both looked over at him. "I was thinking maybe we could just let Robin clear things up with Slade and you and I could catch a movie," he said with a sly grin. Starfire looked slightly affronted and she noticed Robin stepping in front of her.

"You know on second thought I must just take you up on your offer and never come back again. Oh Speedy mind your own business." He turned and began waling away. "Hope your wings get better Bee," he said without looking back. Starfire gave Speedy a small frown and quickly caught up with Robin. She took hold of his arms and flew him to the top if the cliff where his R-Cycle stood waiting. She brought him back down to the ground and touched down soon after.

"Please Robin do not be bitter toward our friends, they simply do not understand what you have had to endure."

"I know Star, but that's not really what ticked me off." She considered the past conversation then came across the object of his anger.

"You need not fear Robin. I have no desire to go to the place of theatrical viewing with Speedy." Robin however didn't seem convinced.

"He is a pretty good Titan. While we competed against each other in that Champion of Heroes thing he came pretty close to beating me at some point. Why not be with a hero who actually sticks to what's right?" Starfire stared at him for a moment quite taken by surprise by his question. She held her arm.

"I will admit Speedy has done some great things as a Titan of this city." Robin hung his head somewhat. Starfire turned back to face Robin with a warm smile. "But he is not my hero." She then leaned forward and brushed her lips against his. She then took flight. Robins stood half stunned half overjoyed. He finally turned around and saw Starfire above motioning for him to follow. With a growing smile of his own Robin put his helmet on, hopped onto his motorcycle and sped off down the road with Starfire flying above.

TITANS TOWER…………

Cyborg sat on the couch watching a little TV while Raven took her turn at doing the dishes. Every now and then Cyborg would glance over the couch at Raven as though he wanted to ask her something but couldn't sum up enough courage to do it. Finally Raven got fed up with it and irritably threw her sponge back into the sink and looked over at him.

"Is there something matter," she asked curtly. He switched off the large screen and got up form the couch. He sat down at the small bar across from the sink where Raven was working.

"BB told me about your 'talks' with Terra." Raven nodded while getting back to her dish washing.

"Is that a fact, and what did he say?"

"That you switched her brain with a potato or something. Whatever you did it sounds a little too creepy to be done even for Terra," said Cyborg. Raven held up a mug and scrubbed it for the fourth time. "Just what did you do to her?"

"I have put her in a semi-vegetative state; it shuts down her primary senses but still keeps her open to suggestion."

"So you lobotomized her…" Raven thought for a moment then nodded her head.

"In laymen's terms, yes."

"Can she come out of it?"

"Don't know, don't care," replied Raven setting down her mug and picking up a small dish. After a tense pause and she was sure Cyborg was glaring at her somewhat she finally set down her dish and turned to him. "What! I needed answers from her and that was the only way I could be sure she was telling the truth."

"Good lord Raven you could have given her permanent brain damage or something-" At once the dish and the mug she had just washed shattered. Cyborg looked back up at her to see small tears forming in her eyes.

"I just don't get it," she said hoarsely. "Terra's committed unforgivable crime against us and suddenly everybody's on her side? What I did is no worse than what she would have done. Why can't you two see that? Why is Beast Boy suddenly against me?" With that she stomped out of the living room leaving Cyborg baffled and confused. It was extremely rare and only on certain occasions that they saw Raven freak out like that. he let out apologetic breath and walked out of the room himself.

---------

Terra sat alone by herself curled up in a corner in Raven's room. She sat with her eyes half closed and staring off into space. Every now and then she would start humming to herself as though not having a care in the world. At that moment however she suddenly blinked her eyes and rubbed them gingerly. She looked around for a moment as though abruptly waking up from a deep sleep. Using the corner for support Terra roughly stood to her feet and rubbed her temples. With a few deep breaths she pulled back her sleeve and glanced at her watch.

"Fourteen hours? I've been here for fourteen hours? What've I been doing all this time?" She wondered aloud. She took a step forward and felt a little nauseous from being in a sitting position for so long. Terra opened Raven's door and cautiously peeked outside and in each direction. Very quietly she stepped out and closed the door behind her. Staying close to the wall she swiftly and silently trotted down the corridor like a cat trying to find a way out. She looked around a corner and jumped back hurriedly as Cyborg passed by and continued on down the hall. Her heart pounding she let out a breath of relief and bumped into a small picture hanging on the wall. It fell and the sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the halls. Wide eyed she darted back down the hall and flew into the first room she saw. Cyborg came back around the area and saw the fallen picture on the floor. He picked it up and surveyed it for a moment before shrugging and walking back to his room.

"Might wanna get some better hooks next time I'm out," he muttered. Terra poked her head out of the bathroom and continued on her way. From down the hall Raven walked while reading a novel and stopped before her door. The door slid open and she went in.

"Hello Terra, time for another Q and A." She said while closing her book. She looked around her room and noticed that Terra was gone. With a nonchalant sigh Raven walked back over to her door and hit an alarm next to it. A loud shrill sound filled the tower letting Cyborg and Beast Boy know something was up. Raven went to a wall panel and brought up the tower's personnel locators. "Alright Terra where are you," she said under her breath. She spotted a red dot moving along the stair case and into basement. A black aurora covered her and she sank beneath the floor.

---------

Several floors down Terra moved into the basement and looked around for any means of escape. Hearing something out of the corner of her ear Terra's fist glowed yellow and she turned in its direction. She saw no one. With a small swallow she turned back around and came face to face with Raven. She let out a surprised yelp and stumbled backwards.

"Where do you think your going," asked Raven.

"Stay away from me!" Raven hovered a few feet closer to her making Terra back up somewhat. "I'm not yours to control anymore!" Raven let out a faint laugh.

"Righhht, and that's exactly what you told Slade last time we saw you with him isn't it? Yet there you were just a while ago about to cut Star's throat because Slade told you to. History really does repeat itself with you doesn't it Terra?" The blond haired girl kept her distance still. "Am interested however as to how you managed to wake up."

"How should I now, I just woke up in your chamber of horrors and decided I better bounce on outta there." Raven started shaking her head.

"Your not leaving this tower until I find out a few more things, like why were all doomed for starters."

"You'll find out soon enough," retorted Terra. "However Starfire and Beast Boy have been doomed since the beginning." Raven narrowed her eyes then they widened at suddenly and terrible realization.

"They're not really cured yet, are they?" Terra bowed and clapped her hands.

"Brilliant deduction Holmes, brilliant."

"But how can you let this happen? Even after Beast Boy stood up for you while I had you, because that's not something I would have done I assure you." Terra smirked and her hands glowed brighter.

"Oh its simple Raven…I'm nuts." She then ran forward and tackled Raven to the ground. Her eyes blazing Raven blasted Terra off of her and she landed on her feet with a small thud. Raven threw her arms forward sending a wall of black energy at her enemy. Terra put her hands up and felt herself being pushed back by a powerful force. Terra forced the floor to come up behind Raven and smacked her hard in the back. The black field faded away and Terra formed a rocky hand out of the earth beneath the floor. She gripped Raven in its clutches and began squeezing the poor Titan.

"Well this feels gooood, don't you think Raven?" Raven struggled to get out of the hands grasp but each time she tried to summon her powers the giant thumb would flick her across the head, disrupting her concentration.

"You…won't get away with this!" Terra rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Good golly Raven if I got half a penny every time you heroes said that I could…I could…all right I don't really know what I could do but it would be SO BIG!" She threw Raven against the wall. Without a moments hesitation she then smashed a large boulder against her. Raven slid down the wall and lay limp, a small trickle of blood moved down her mouth. "But who really wants that kind of responsibility." Before she could even move she heard Beast Boy's voice shout…

"RAVEN!" He and Cyborg ran into the room and crouched down next to their friend. Beast Boy sat her and cupped her face in his hands. He wiped away the small stream of blood off her face and looked her over with mass anxiety.

"Ahh don't worry yourself BB she should be alright, I think," said Terra. Cyborg stood up and transformed his fist into his renowned sonic cannon.

"You know I've just about had enough of you."

"Well said Cy well said, as it turns out I feel the same about you." She waved her hand and the floor on which he stood flipped him off into a pile of crates. He climbed out of the wreckage. He walked back over to Beast Boy who lay Raven down on her side. The green Titan faced Raven with a menacing glare. Terra stared at him and her smile gradually faded.

"That, was a mistake."

"A way big one," added the changeling's best friend. Terra smirked and cocked her head.

"Oh Beast Boy let's not fight. I mean we did like each other once didn't we?" Beast Boy didn't reply but readied himself for a direct assault. Terra sighed and nodded. "Very well then, come and get me!" Beast Boy morphed into a tiger and followed Cyborg as they darted straight for the girl. Cyborg opened up on her sending a long stream of blue energy her way. Terra leapt to the side to avoid it but jumped right into Beast Boy's path. He quickly changed to a ram and knocked her clear off her feet. Terra opened her burning yellow filled eyes and flew high above them. She formed a cloud of rocky spikes and after taking aim sent them diving down on the two heroes. Both Cyborg and Beast Boy jumped in different directions to avoid the earth made spears. Terra then ushered a loud cry and the entire floor moved in a wave motion and sent Beast Boy flying all around the room. Just as Cyborg was sure he had a clear shot he was knocked off balance and missed her by a hair. His sonic blast instead hit a large pipe above head and released flowing cloud of steam into the room. Terra moved about the cloudy fog searching for her enemies. With a malicious grin she broke into song.

"Oh where oh where has my little BB gone, oh where oh where can he be?" Beast Boy slowly peeked around a corner and saw Terra glide past him without even hinting at his presence. He spotted Cyborg from across the room and signaled him to help with an ambush. With his fingers he counted to three and on the dot Cyborg leapt out and nailed the sadistic girl dead on. Her rock platform shattered and Beast Boy left his barricade as a lion and tackled her to the ground. He changed back into himself and as the two stared up at each other he shook his head.

"Why Terra? Why can't you be a good person?" She didn't add a sarcastic remark or something mean or rude but shrugged.

"You know Beast Boy; I don't know the answer to that anymore than you do."

"Liar, you know it better than anyone. Its time for you to make a choice Terra." She glanced over his shoulder and saw Cyborg point his cannon at her. "Change and let us help you or don't and let us do what we have to."

I was wondering, in your opinion, is there such a thing as a chapter that's too long. Cause I'm always worried that people will think my chapters are too long sometimes. Or even too short :Sighs: Well tell me what you think anyway. Laters!
