"What do you want?" Robin asked, trying to hide the fear in his voice.
"Oh Robin, did you honestly think I didn't recognize you? Did you think your 'get out of my tower before I hurt you' act would scare me? Guess again! I remember you, and I remember what you did too." She had been smiling the whole time, until the last scentence she spoke when her face fell. She drew her sword slowly. He watched her with fear rising as she carefully polished the blade.
"You're not going to fight me right here in my tower, in my own room?" he asked nervously, pulling out his own bow staff.
"No, I suppose not." In a swift movement, she stood behind him, the tip of her sword to the back of his neck. "Shall we take a little walk, perhaps to the roof." He obeyed and they walked quietly out his door.

Terra leaned her head against BB's shoulder and held his hand, dreamily swinging her feet over the edge of the tower in the sunset light. She smiled and used her powers to lift a small stone from the pile she had made and skipped it across the water far below.
"Impressive,"Beast Boy smiled, "but I bet you could do better." Terra smiled and lifted a large rock from the island and lifted it high up in the air. She released it and it fell a good 30 feet before landing in the water with a huge splash. "That's more like it!" Terra laughed as jewl like droplets of water tickled the bottoms of her bare feet. She was rather amazed that the splash had reached her all the way up on the roof.

Raven smiled as the black phoenix that was her love circled her room, singing its enchanting melody. She turned slowly so that he was always in front of her and let her voice rise and fall with the song. After a few moments, the bird flew into the middle of the room, just a few feet in front of her. The flames grew larger and the fire bird became a delicate looking black dragon. It blew fire over its claw and a black rose slowly appeared. She smiled and took it. Leaning forward, she kissed the dragon on the snout. The dragon morphed back into its true form and A'lain returned her kiss. She stood back and smiled. He fell once again into the form of a phoenix and flew out the window. Humming the melody of the phoenix song, she dreamily made her way to the kitchen.

Robin fell out the door onto the roof, causing Beast Boy and Terra to snap around. They stared in horror as Rochwen pointed her sword at his throat. The smile that had played on her face when she had first entered Robin's room was gone. Silent tears streamed down her pale face from eyes that were full of fire.
"No!" shouted Terra, her eyes glowing yellow and a large boulder rising from the water to hover above her. "To think we trusted you!"
"You have no idea what you're talking about silly girl," Rochwen shouted, through tears that were now falling freely, "you don't know what he's done to-" BB morphed into a gorilla and ran at her, swinging his fists. She lept out of the way and then dodged a shower of dagger sharp rocks. The three of them continued to fight as Robin sprung to his feet. He charged toward them, but was met by a pillar of rock that had just lifted Terra. He stumbled backwards, trying not to let himself fall. Suddenly, there was no more roof top. Terra saw him falling just in time. She brought a slab of rock to catch him about half way down. But he was falling so quickly that when he landed, everything went black.

He was standing in a cave. No, it wasn't just any cave, it was somewhere he knew well, somewhere he had been before. He remembered when a swarm of bats flew past him. Batman. He turned and saw the hero bent over, staring into a cage. Walking over, he saw the tiny bat inside. He remembered, they had found it in a corner, not moving, they had taken care of it. Now, it had wires hooked up to it because of strange signals picked up by the computer. Everything was a blur now, the memory of the strange girl who had come for it, pleading for her pet.
"Please sir," her voice echoed and tears rimmed her big eyes, "Nightsong is my only pet. I need him back, please." His own laughter met her begging voice.
"This bat can't be your pet. Even if he was, there's no point in taking him back, there's something wrong with him. I'd say he won't live for more than a few days."
"There's nothing wrong with him!" She had drawn a sword, pushed passed them, taken the bat from the cage, and threw him into the air. And she had sung that song. The haunting melody that had wound its self into his nightmares. "Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, who but my Lady Greensleeves." As she sang, the cave was filled with a humming that had come from the tiny creature. When the last line ended, in a flutter of wings the creature had become a black foal with huge, bat-like wings. The baby horse had rejoiced at the sight of its mistress. Then, it saw Robin and Batman. Its tiny ears pinned back and its eyes glowed red. Rearing up, it let out a cry like a hawk. Its front feet touched the ground and everything moved in slow motion. Galloping hoofbeats echoed off the walls of the cave. The quiet hiss as he pulled out a boomerang. The girl's cries as she fell the her knees. There was nothing else he could do. He threw the weapon. The soft but terrible sound of ripping flesh. The tiny horse fell, its wings crumpling around it. The girl ran to its side and cradled its head. It nudged her gently and a final soft breath escaped it. The body changed to that of a bat, then dissappeared, leaving only a black stone shaped like a winged horse. The boomerang returned to his hand, but he dropped it. The clang of metal on rock when it hit the ground masked the girls sobs for a moment. He walked to her side, placed a hand on her back.
"I'm so sorry," he whispered, but she pulled away. Grabbing the stone, she looked up at him with the most hateful eyes he had ever seen.
"Someday," she breathed, still sounding threatening between sobs, "you will pay for this. I hope this memory haunts you your entire life. Even if it does, that will never be enough for me. Someday, you will feel the pain I feel now." She had stood, kissed the stone, and was gone.

Robin's eyes shot open and Starfire pulled him into a hug. "Star, let him breathe," Terra whispered, pulling her back. She started to say something else, but stopped as she caught a glimpse of Robin's face. Cold sweat ran down it. His mask was gone and his brown eyes looked so afraid. Starfire took his hand.
"Don't try to defend him! Don't even comfort him, he deserves every bit of terror he feels! He'll pay for what he did to me!" Rochwen pushed Terra, Starfire, and BB aside, her sword drawn.
"I didn't want to. There was no other way! Just remember what happened, he would have killed us!"
"And you'd have deserved it! But you've already been punished, haven't you? When a noble elvish beast is killed by a mortal, that's a crime indeed! He's haunted you, hasn't he? That song has followed you eveywhere, hasn't it? Good! I hope it's driven you mad! But that's not enough for me." The last scentence was a whisper, a low growl so full of haterd. She ran at him, sword high. He saw her eyes glow red. As her hair blew back, he saw the tiny horse that had ran at him with the same intent. This time, he was unarmed. He closed his eyes and prepared himself for the attack, but it didn't come. Instead he heard the soft beat of wings and the gentle meeting of hoof and stone. He opened his eyes to see Dragon Wings above him. Rochwen stood still for a moment, then replaced her sword and threw her arms around her horse's neck. Slowly, she climbed onto her back and they sprang into the air. They circled for a moment, then dissappeared. A stone fell into Robin's hand. It was emrald green and in the shape of a winged horse. On the back in loopy gold letters it read: "The purpose for some actions may take a while to find, but to spare one's guilt, it is worth it. You may not understand, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. If ever you need the help of an elvish warrior and a night wing, Dragon Wings and I are at your service. Rochwen"


I think I'm going to write one more chapter just to wrap a few things up. then its done! i think i may also write another fic to explain some things about Rochwen's and A'lain's past. if i do, itll probably be under Lord of the Rings though..let me know what you think!

Much love,
Rochwen
