Guys, this is an extREEEMly short update, and I'm sorry. I understand if you hate it.

Last time: Slade answered leisurely, "What you saw destroyed in that magma was simply another of my drones. Terra can be revived out of her stone state, but I do not know how. If I did, she would certainly be fighting by my side at this moment. I am a part of Joker because, when Joker fell into that vat of chemicals all those years ago, they affected not only his features but also his mind, creating me. I do not torment you; I merely test you. And as for why Joker killed Tim… I need not say that that is a question for Joker."

Now: "Then bring him before me," Robin ordered, eliciting a look of surprise from the Titans, who had never before heard Robin speak like that to anyone.

"Gladly." Slade's voice became a crescendo, heightening to the painful tones of Joker.

The moment that Joker had returned, Robin leapt forward with a yell. Just as he was within striking reach of Joker, he felt a sharp blow to the back of his head. His eyes rolled up into his head and he pitched backward, caught by Cyborg.

"Sorry, Rob," the metal-man sorrowfully stated. "But it had to be done. And as for you," he began, looking for Joker and Harley Quinn. But the two were nowhere to be found.

Back at Titans' Tower, Robin was recovering from the heavy blow Cyborg had dealt him.

"Where am I?" he groaned.

"T Tower, dude. How's your head?" Beast Boy asked.

"Feels like a metal man just popped me upside the head," Robin snapped back, glaring in Cy's general direction. "But you guys got Joker and Quinn, right?"

The other four Titans looked away guiltily. "Right?" Robin asked again, more urgently this time.

"Actually… Robin, I'm sorry. But they got away," Raven told him in her usual monotone.

"Yes, but do not worry, dear comrade!" Starfire eagerly reassured him. "We shall soon catch up to them, and they shall not get away so easily this time!"

Robin shook his head. "Guys, I can't believe you stopped me from attacking Joker. We're supposed to be a team," he emphasized. "But if we can't act like a team, then maybe we're not a team."

"Robin, where are you going with this?" Beast Boy asked in a worried voice.

Robin turned away from them all, staring out at the ocean visible through one of their many full-length windows. "I'm saying that maybe it's time that we go our separate ways, Beast Boy," he replied in a very soft voice.

"What?!" Four different voices rose in a disbelieving crescendo as their leader kept staring out of the window impassively.

--Author's Notes--

I'm so so so so SO freaking sorry that it's taken me this long to update this fic. If no one is even reading this anymore, I completely understand. It's just that I've been working more on my original fiction, with less time for my fanfiction. I have a fictionpress account, if anyone would like to see what has kept me away from this fic so long: Please, if anyone is still reading this, review. Blessed be, Luna
