Broken Robin

By Serene's Magick

Disclaimer: Must I do this every time? sigh I will not own the Teen Titans or the Justice League in the near future. Because if I did own the Titans Starfire wouldn't be flirting with Robin, Beast Boy would be with Starfire, Terra wouldn't have been...Slade's apprentice, and Raven would be...the same. I like her the way she is.

Okay before I answer reviewer I have something to say...WOAH! I didn't think my story was going to get this many reviews especially on just the prologue. I very embarrassed at the amount of compliments I was given...but not the bad embarrassed. So thank you all of you kind reviewers.

Lunatic with a Hero Complex: blushes You made a pretty dead on assumption of the driving force behind the story...I think could be a possible future if the battle didn't have the 'right' (and I say that loosely as no future is set in stone) outcome. Thank you for the kind remarks about my writing.

Cathy: Thank you...I deeply pleased that you enjoyed. About the plot I saw something similar to this that got me thinking...and when I think very weird ideas come to life ergo my story. And you're so right Robin and Raven forever...not that I have anything against Starfire.

itisme: Glad you enjoyed the first posting of the story...I hope that you won't be disappointed with the future installments. They aren't as...serious I guess covers it but the undertone of the prologue is still there.

MagickSweetheart: Glad you liked LeeLee. But my question for you is...why are you going crazy? You only read till what on this story...chapter five? And about twelve times.

Sara: I'm glad that you liked the prologue and that you were honest about what you dislike...it will help in my future stories. And you said it was like a movie preview...wow...didn't think it was that good; I didn't even have the suspenseful music they have.

pixie stix addict: I guess I may have confused many...my humor is slightly...dark. But in truth the story does have moments of intense humor (I hope) to relieve defuse some of the stress between characters or in various scenes.

Fiddler jones: Thank you for reviewing. I noticed you mentioned my style in writing...I didn't think it was anything different from other author's.

Lomesir: I'm sorry if I made you cry with the prologue...it was pretty heart wrenching but it doesn't stay sad through the whole story...just most of it.

Kristine: I would answer your question but I won't...because your answer is in this chapter. I am very happy that you enjoyed my story, hopefully it will continue to entertain you.

Chapter One

Falling

How could I have been so foolish...I'm only one person. I looked behind me.

'Argh...too many.'

Chasing me were probably fifty of Slade's robots and they were in hot pursuit of me.

'What are you planning Slade? 'Cause if you're just trying to catch me...this is overkill.'

As one of the robots broke from formation and attempted to attack me I took to the air. As I flew I threw orbs of black energy behind me in an effort to discourage further following of my person. Sadly it only increased their drive to capture me.

'Well if you can't outrun them...destroy them.'

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." One bowling ball and forty-eight pins dow...wait forty-eight there should be forty-nine. Where is the last one? My unvoiced question was answered a moment later as a sharp kick hit me in my lower back causing me to hurtle to the ground.

'This was so much easier when the Titans were still a team.' I thought as I lay in the bottom of the crater my body had created upon impacting the ground. I tried to move only to by stopped by an intense pain that ripped through my body.

I choked on a scream as the last robot came closer.

'It's now or never.' I concentrated on the spell and began to mumble the words for the spell as the robot drew closer. If I did the spell correctly, it would open a portal to a Hell world...downside I can't have a barrier around me for it to work, so while I was preparing for the spell I was defenseless.

'If this works I'm telling Slade to pack a suitcase.' I gave a hallow half smile as I watched the robot being sucked backward into the portal as a giant hand ripped through and grabbed it.

"Heh...it actually worked." I croaked. Weariness lacing my voice, the spell had taken a lot out of me.

'Slade prepare to have your...God I did not almost say a...Robin line.'

"You know the Raven I knew wouldn't have relied on something she didn't know." That voice...no...I snapped up my head in his direction all my weariness destroyed as adrenaline overtook my system. I winced as a crash was explosion was heard in the distance.

'Oops...should've set the bombs up for more then ten minutes.'

Robin lifted an eyebrow as he looked at me before he added a smirk into the mix. Even though I had seen Robin not two hours before I couldn't help but being startled; the Robin I knew when I was younger was gone and this...man replaced him.

"Raven cat got your tongue?" He leaned over me so our faces were about an inch apart, he was just way to close for comfort. "Hmm...maybe I was wrong...perhaps you aren't Raven; I believe she would've greeted an old friend more..."

"Screw you." I bit out as I tried to put more distance between but as the proverb goes I was 'stuck between a rock and a very hard place.'

"Tsk tsk...don't be rude or I just might take you up on the offer." I felt my face heat up and was glad I still wore my cloak because I believe I was doing a good impression of a fish...a fish that was trying to breath oxygen out of water.

"You wouldn't dare." He leaned closer tilting his head to the side enabling him to press his cheek against mine as he whispered dangerously in my ears.

"Raven don't push me past my limits...there is a lot that I do now."

I shoved Robin off and took off in a limping run...if I can get to the base I'll be fine...I think. Before I had even gotten five meters Robin tackled me from behind as we fell he flipped me over so I landed on my already sore back.

'Ow...damn it.'

Five years had given him the advantage he was stronger and had a more built frame from his training...I on the other had hadn't changed very much over the years. I was still petite and barely had any physical strength to speak of as I relied on my magic and my brain to help me overcome my opponents.

"Get off, Robin." He looked down at me amused from his perch on my hips.

"Why would I do that? I happen to like being on top."

'Disgusting.'

"Get off you pervert." He leered at me and his smirk became, if it was even possible, more arrogant. With his close proximity and my adrenaline pumped mind, I was slowly losing the battle for control of my emotions.

"Azarath Meti-umph.." Robin's amusement changed into cold fury which was scarier than when he was being a pervert.

"That was very foolish Raven. To think you were the smartest Titan...what a pity." I glared at him from the shadows of my hood and bit Robin's hand...as hard as I could. Instead of pulling his hand away he grimaced at watched as a trickle of blood leaked from the side of his hand.

"I really didn't want to have to do this but you have given me no choice."

'Can your lines get any cornier...ARGH!'

robin reached into his belt and pulled out a small high-pressured air shot, my eyes widened. What did her think he was going to do with that?

"I like the look of fear on you Raven...it's very becoming of you but sadly this won't hurt you. Too much." As he spoke, he pressed the shot again the skin of my neck and pulled the trigger. I felt a jab of pain before I began to see black spots float across my vision and then there was nothing.
