The Trade
Robin sat in his room and thought about all that happened. He had saved Raven and the world, figured out the reason why Slade is alive and saw his true feelings. Raven came in. Robin just kept looking down. "Uhhh, is this a good time?" Raven said. She knew how Robin sometimes needed to have some alone time. "Yeah, I guess." Robin said. "Robin, I.." Just at that moment the alarm started glowing red. Everyone knows what that means. They ran to the main room. Slade's face came on. "Hello titans, good to see you all happy. But you still haven't notice one of your precious titans is missing." Every one looked around. "Starfire!" Robin yelled. "Look" said beast boy pointing to the screen. On the screen was Starfire gagged and tied. She was crying. "What do you want?" said Raven harshly. "My demands are a trade. I'll give you Starfire if you give me ROBIN!" Every one looked at Robin, even Slade. Robin was pale. He was sickened with the idea to leave the Titans and go with Slade. "Hold on a sec" Cyborg said as they all pushed Robin in another room. "Why does he want you?" said Beastboy. I'm not sure. But I have to save Starfire. She shouldn't have to suffer for me. I really hope this is temporary." Robin said. He looked nervous. They went back into the other room. "I...I... will go" Robin said. Raven felt rage build up in her. "Good I'll meet you at the pier." Slade said and the message ended. "Robin, are you sure you want to go?" Raven said holding back tears. "Want? No. But Starfire's life is on the line and I will not put that in danger." Robin said. "Ok, one of us have to go with him. Who will go? I could bu-" I'll go" Raven interrupted Cyborg. Then they head out.
They soon got to the pier. "I won't let you do this Robin!" Raven yelled. Robin grabbed her shoulders. "I must go, I leave you in charge of the Titans. Do a good job Raven." just at that moment the ground shook and slade came out of the ground and said "The trade is now. Robin, come here." Robin came forward. "And Starfire?" He said. "All in good time. But first..." Slade grabbed Robin and put a knife to his neck. "Is she the only one?" Slade Said through his gritted teeth (or so we think). "Yes, She came to get Starfire" Robin was having trouble breathing. Slade let go. Then some of his mechanic henchman brought Starfire to Raven. Raven wasn't liking Starfire to much. She WAS the one who got Robin into this. Starfire ran over to Robin. She hugged him and seemed to try to kiss him good bye, but slade pulled him harshly back. Raven felt tears swell up in her eyes she yelled "Robin...don't forget me!" Robin himself felt tears swell up in his mask. He didn't want to cry, but this could be the beginning of his misery.
