Robin sighed, and rubbed his throbbing temples. Closing his eyes, he fought back the angry tears of frustration.
Everyone was looking to him.
He felt the pressure.
Blinking his eyes open, he looked at each person sitting around the table.
Cyborg.
He looked as though a two hundred pound weight was on his broad shoulders.
His usual go getter persona was defeated.
Bee.
No determined look, just a hand on her forehead,
and a slumped position over the table.
The rest of them were leaning back in their chairs, and probably thinking on how so many things could go so wrong, in such a short period of time.
Robin thought over what had happened himself.
Starfire.
He forced himself not to think the unimaginable.
Nothing mattered when he thought about losing her.
He would find her as soon as they sorted through who would do what.
The city.
He could still hear the screams of the people,
still picture the destruction.
They hadn't been able to stop it all.
If it hadn't been for the rain.. He closed his eyes, not wanting to go there.
Aqualad, gone. Without a trace. They hadn't been able to find him anywhere in the tower.
Raven. Beast Boy. Two of his old best friends.
He fought side by side with them.
They had always had his back.
Now it was his turn, and he was failing. Miserably.
So much going wrong, and he was crumbling, yet everyone was still looking to him.
He tried his best to pull himself back together, and stood.
"Cyborg."
The half robot looked up.
"Yeah Robin?"
"I am going to search for Starfire, the rest of you need to divide to search for Raven, Beast Boy, and Aqualad.
Then whoever is left can go back to the city limits to save anyone in danger, and sift through the destruction."
Cyborg nodded and stood, Bee stood as well.
Her voice was strained as she spoke.
"I will go back to the city limits by myself."
Mes and Menos were sent to look for Aqualad, since they had no luck finding the other two, and Cyborg and Speedy volunteered to look for Raven and Beast Boy.
Robin headed towards the large doors, and with a curt nod to the others, he opened them, and started out.
He hadn't walked two feet, before he caught sight of a slender figure walking through the fog towards him.
"Starfire?" Robin said, in a voice barely above a wisper.
Starfire slowly emerged from the fog, holding her right arm, and limping towards him.
He was so overwhelmed that she was back, that he didn't take notice of her pain, and he rushed forward and hugged her tightly.
She winced at that, and drew back.
He immediately released her.
"Starfire are you all right?" He asked anxiously.
"Robin," She said with a soft moan, "my arm.."
