DAWN
TITANS TOWER
It was a beautiful Jump City dawn. The cool breeze from the ocean made the weather very nice, there were no rain clouds and the forecast predicted a beautiful day. Robin was in the main room, creeping to the garage, not wanting to wake Starfire and have her follow him. "I learned my mistake, I wont do what I did last time, I will get to the bottom of this, with our without Star's help," Robin thought as he quietly entered the garage. He got to his motorcycle, slowly pushed it out of the garage, turned it on and began driving to the city to begin today's hunt for clues. He had a cold, determined face, his eyes blazing with hatred towards all those who stood in his path to revenge, "If only I could find Wilson and bring him down myself," Robin thought as he drove towards Robin's grave, to find even the smallest clue.
Several hours latter, Starfire woke up and entered the main room like she usually did every morning. She made herself some food and also made Robin something to eat, "I do hope making him a large breakfast will allow us to, how do they say it, put ourselves on the right track? Anyways, this should help," Starfire told herself as she prepared the special breakfast. She waited patiently for two hours when she looked at the clock and frowned, "Its 11:00am, he never comes this late, never, I should check on him, hopefully he doesn't get angry," Starfire thought as she floated to Robin's room. She knocked on the door and asked cautiously, "Friend, are you alright?" there was no answer. Starfire knocked more and continued asking Robin to open the door, sensing something was wrong Starfire knocked down the door with her starbolts. She entered the room to find it completely empty, "Oh no, he has left! I must find him!" Starfire thought frantically as she rushed to the garage to check if her worst fear was realized. She arrived to find they were, the R-Cycle was gone, as was Robin.
Starfire was about to fly out of the garage when suddenly the Tower went to a complete lockdown, Starfire was very surprised by this, "What in the name of the Gods of Tamaran is going on!" she thought, feeling a little scared at this surprise event. Within seconds of the lockdown, the lights in the garage area went out. Starfire, now really scared, used her starbolt as a light as she walked towards the staircase and to the main room. As she moved slowly through the large garage, she had an uneasy feeling that she wasn't alone. She hadn't been this scared since the Wicked Scared incident and of course, the old Robin's last encounter with her. As she flew her fears were realized when she was shot in the back by a laser gun. Starfire fell forward with a grunt. "Who are you!" Starfire screamed out as she regained her composure and began flinging starbolts all over the place. As she fired around, she thought she saw some shadows falling and moving forward. As she held back one side, from behind her, she began facing fire; she was being out flanked and eventually would be surrounded. She did the best thing she could think of, she flew as high as she could in the air. As she flew, the laser guns began firing at her, she was surprised at how many men were shooting at her, but this was an advantage because the lasers gave away their position and from the high ground Starfire could hit them with accuracy, not firing blind like she was doing before. From the air she flew back and forth across the ceiling shooting up as many of the invaders as she could, she tried to use her communicator but it was jammed, "Robin, why did you leave without telling me?" she thought as she fought on.
The hopeless battle continued, more and more laser shooting gunmen entered the garage, firing with more and more accuracy, until finally, the exhausted, overwhelmed, Starfire collapsed from the garage roof to the ground below. The last thing she saw before she lost consciousness was a large W on top of the helmet of one of the gunmen.
JUMP CITY NATIONAL CEMETERY
Robin had gone to the docks first, to the warehouse Beast Boy had been brutally attacked, to the last area Red X had been seen. He found some evidence leading him to conclude the last Robin was involved in Beast Boy's beating and Red X's disappearance. Robin then decided to go to the last Robin's grave and see if anything was their that he could use. He parked the motorcycle several blocks away, people recognized his bike and would start rumors if he was seen parked at the last Robin's grave. Robin entered the cemetery and walked straight to the original Robin's grave.
There was a statue of the man, standing straight and tall, looking to the sky, "Like some God, that's what people think of him, as a God of justice and morals, but he was only a man," Robin thought as he stared at the statue of the man he was supposed to follow.
Robin read all the quotes written around the monument, all the Titans had their words engraved on the statue. Robin didn't find any hints of the last battle in any of the quotes, frustrated, Robin got up, left the statue, returned to his bike and began driving to the Tower, "I don't care, I have to get the information from her now," Robin thought as he drove. Suddenly his communicator began beeping, pulling over, Robin answered, his blood boiled when he saw Wilson's mask on Starfire's communicator. "Damn you Wilson, what have you done?" Robin growled angrily, his eyes were blazing red, giving him a very scary appearance.
Wilson wasn't bothered at all and laughed, "You see Robin, you have gotten so caught up with finding me that you left Starfire all alone and the Tower vulnerable to attack. If you were smart you would have realized you can't divide the Titans into three or more groups then we can get you one at a time, and we have. However, I know you can link up with the other three Titans and break your way through and defeat me and save Starfire, but I am warning you, if you don't follow my demands, I will kill her myself," Wilson declared as he pulled out a gun, showed Robin Starfire, tied down by some special power rope which kept her powers inactive, Wilson walked up to her, cocked the gun and put it right to her temple. Wilson said, "I swear I will kill her just like that if you don't do what I say," Wilson warned Robin.
"Damn you Wilson don't hurt her! Don't hurt another girl I care for!" Robin pleaded
"I give you my word, I won't kill her unless you follow my terms," Wilson promised
"What terms?" Robin asked
"The other three Titans come out of hiding and show themselves to me outside the Tower where I can see them. Then they must stay away from the Tower or else I shoot. I am holding her hostage in the Tower with my private army, so there is no way you can sneak in without me finding out and gunning her down," Wilson warned
"Those are your only terms? The other Titans coming out of hiding, showing themselves, then keep a distance?" Robin asked in disbelief
"No, after they leave the scene, you will be allowed in and I will let you try to save her, if you fail, you die, if you succeed, then you and her shall live and I shall die. However, I have to say, I don't intend to die today or anytime soon," Wilson said
"Neither do I," Robin said as the communicator went out. "Have to find the other Titans, save Star, then kill Wilson, that is my checklist," Robin thought as he began driving to find someway to get Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy out of hiding.
