Ch. 17. How?

Recap:

Robin also sat on his bed watching his favorite action movie, when there was a knock on his door. "Come in" he called as the door creaked open.

"How nice to se you again, Robin" a disguised voice chimed. Robin shot up and whipped out a concealed Bo Staff.

"Slade" he growled.

Robin and Slade stood staring at one another, Robin's eyes wide with shock.

"I thought Starfire killed you" he spat at his father. Fury began to bubble inside him, he wished that Slade was dead; he would never have to think back to the nightmares he had caused him when he was a little boy.

"Now, Now Robin, I would have thought by now you would know that I never appear myself, unless I'm around you." Robin grimaced at the thought, he was the only one who knew Slade's true appearance, Starfire wouldn't have known.

"How did you know to find me here?" Robin questioned further, Slade chuckled and clapped his hands, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg all appeared at his side, their eyes glowing orange. Robin gasped and started to charge the door so that he could get his hands on Slade. Just as suddenly, Slade moved his hand to the side of the wall where the boy wander was unable to see and pushed a button, metal bars flew horizontally across the door, electric waves flowed through them.

"This isn't a rehab center Robin, it's my new headquarters and it looks like once you start to listen, you and your friend are going to join up with the other titans and start doing my bidding, this is the second time for both you and Starfire, so I expect the most from you two, that is, once I get the drug back in your system.

"Fucking bastard" Robin said in a low voice as he pulled out his communicator, Starfire's image appeared on the screen, her face was pale and grim.

"Robin, something is terribly wrong" she whispered to him. Robin sighed, and nodded.

"I know Starfire, I know. Can you use your beams or Starbolts to break through to my room?" he quickly said, the communicator started to pick up static, the last thing Robin saw was Starfire screaming. "STARFIRE" Robin yelled. He quickly found his uniforms and removed two exploding discs; the teen threw them towards the adjoining wall keeping him away from Starfire.

After the last of the debris fell away and the smoke cleared, Robin walked into Star's room, the red head was huddled over something crumpled and bloody. Robin ran to her side to see what the thing was, as he gazed over the figure, the color of his face drained leaving him chalk white, his eyes (mask) wide with shock. He fell to his knees and stroked the face of the bloody woman. "Mother" he whispered in a hoarse voice.

"I thought you were dead" he said to her, she opened her eyes.

"Richard? Am I in heaven?" she asked him. A tear rolled down Robin's cheek.

"Hardly mom, this is more like a purgatory." He whispered to her as he took her hand in his own.
