Chapter 3: Broken

"Sorry Cy, but you're not taking me anywhere" Robin had made up his mind, escaping and running away would convince Cyborg and the rest that he was a criminal but the other option was give up and go to jail, where he could sit hoping that somehow proof of his innocence would appear. No it was much better out in the open where he could have some chance of proving his innocence.

Cyborg lunged at Robin, hands out stretched, Robin merely jumped over him then spun around and jumping again vaulted off Cyborgs shoulders out the door and over the head of the other Titans.

"You know, you should know by now" Robin shot to Cyborg "You can't win against me!"

"Robin, do the math, four against one, you lose" Raven's black power began to cover Robin's body lifting him into the air.

"Raven don't do this!" shouted Robin as the black began to creep up his neck towards his face.

"Robin, I'm sorry but you're a criminal now. No one is above the law, not even you."

"Friend Raven" piped in Starfire talking for the first time since the ordeal "Should we not hear what Friend Robin has to talk? Would it not be against your custom to put him in a cage if he did not do these crimes? Guilty until proven innocence, that is your motto here on earth no?" Robin chuckled a little.

"Yeah, I guess so" Raven turned to Cyborg, he nodded and Raven relished the black covering Robin, sending him toppling to the floor.

Cyborg stood directly in front of him, "Talk, then we still take you to jail, you'll have a fair trial Robin and if this X guy is still hanging around while you are in jail, then we know it isn't you. Sorry Bud but it is the way the law works" he laid a comforting hand on Robin's shoulder. "And we will be by you the whole time".

"Thanks" Robin said getting to his feet, "But no thanks, I can catch X only if I am out here" With a swipe of his hand grabbed Cyborg by the wrist and flipped him onto his back. Cyborg let out a yell of pain that was quickly silenced by a kick to his head.

"Sorry Cy" whispered Robin then turning to the rest of the team said, "One down three to go".

He launched himself at the purpled haired goth girl next. "Hyaa", Robin yelled his war cry pulling out his escrima (short sticks) and began his attack on the fair skinned Raven. Ready for his attack Raven put up a shield protecting herself. Robin merely leapt over it landing behind Raven, as he prepared to land a blow to the back of her neck something slammed him from behind. The blow sent him flying into Raven knocking her across the room into the far wall. Blood trickled down from where she had him and her eyes slid shut.

'Two down' Robin told himself mentally.

"Raven!" Yelled a voice from behind him, the high-pitched, almost annoying voice of Beastboy, the green changeling. "Dude what did you do to her!"

"I didn't…!" But before Robin could finish his sentence BeastBoy had turned into a Rhino and was headed straight at Robin. Robin still looking at the heap that was Raven didn't know until too late. He felt the horn enter his right side. He was pushed back until he hit the same wall as Raven just feet away from her now lifeless body. Robin felt the horn slid out of his side with an odd sucking noise that made Robin want to hurl right there. BeastBay changed back into his normal form and started beating Robin mercilessly.

"You killed her! You killed her! I'LL KILL YOU!" Robin just took the beating still staring at Raven's body which Starfire now held in her arms.

"I-I didn't mean…I didn't know…" Robin whispered.

"I LOVED HER! YOU KILLED HER!"

Then something clicked in Robin's mind. He ducked under one of BeastBoys sloppy blows and hit him hard in the back sending him flying forward. Robin held his hand. He had hit with his already cut hand causing the glass to be pushed deeper into his skin. Spinning around BeastBoy flew at Robin yelling, "MURDERER!".

"I didn't kill her Beastboy!"

"Don't lie to me!"

"I'm sorry BB" Robin landed an inside knife hand to the soft spot between the changelings collar bond and neck, effectively knocking him out.

"One to go", Robin turned to Starfire, who had risen into the air eyes vivid green, starbolts at the ready.

"Star, please I don't want to hurt just let me leave now"

"I am sorry Robin, that I can not do." She flew five feet to the right so she was in-between Robin and the only exit.

"Robin, you are a criminal, it is my duty to take you to jail"

"Then I am sorry Star". Unwantingly he jumped at Star and hit her hard when she was unprepared with a snap kick. She flew back a few feet then stopped in midair, shaking her head she sent a starbolt at Robin. Robin jumped but as he did so a twinge of pain came from the wound in his side causing to push off a second later than planned. The starbolt hit him square in the chest and for the second time that night he flew into the far wall. Before he could regain his composure Starfire was standing over him, starbolt held lost to his face, blinding him.

"Robin, please surrender, I do not wish to harm you anymore."

"Nor, I Star, nor I" Whispered Robin, Starfire slowly lowered her hand the bright green light fading and her eyes turned back to the normal green.

"That is why I am so sorry I have to do this.". Leaping to his feet he sent a kick flying her way but she was ready for such an attack having seen his use it many times that night. She stepped to the side. Robin landed lightly stumbling a little, regaining his balance when Strafire hit him hard in the head. As he felt the sensation of flying through the air time seemed to slow. He was barely moving in the air. Looking down he saw he was about to land on one of the kitchen counters. In milliseconds Robin deducted that if he landed at this angle at this speed, he would surely break his back. Thinking quickly he twisted in midair hoping that it would be far enough. If he broke his back…it would be it, the end.

'Please god, help me' He prayed, he didn't believe in god but now seemed like a good time to start. After that time sped up again. He landed with a sickening crunch on the counter.
