Broken Robin
By Serene's Magick
Disclaimer: If I owned the Teen Titans, Robin would not be wearing that green, red, yellow, and black abomination he calls a costume...it clashes with my very nature.
Lomesir: Thanks for the kind review. Still sorry that the story is still hard to read...but be glad to know this isn't as dark as my first draft of the story. Glad you like Raven's attitude though.
Kailiann: Thank you very much.
Cathy: blushes Thank you so much. I'm glad you are still enjoying the plot.
fiddler jones: I'm you want to know what will happen next...it persuades me to write more.
bored hungry: Thank you.
Pease215: Thank you so much. I'm glad you think I'm keeping my character in character...it's nice to know that. About Raven going on the killing spree, it was my way of showing she cared without her showing emotions. Also it was a way for me to describe her state right now...she believes that not being able to save the child is her fault and emotionally she isn't prepared for that kind of trauma.
pixie stix addict: Hahaha...love the quote. Actually its just Robin being forced to live with Slade for five years...though he could be considered 'brainwashed' but truthfully he is just being what circumstance molded him to be. Vincent is the one Spike hates a lot, right? Haven't seen the movie so I'll have to take your word for it.
Chapter Two
Landing'I'm going to kill him.'
When I opened my eyes I was greeted with the sight of a steel ceiling and four steel walls.
"Great." I sighed. I did a quick scan to discover my position...and if I could escape in the next five minutes. My dream of escaping was diminished when I saw there were no windows, the vent was too small to crawl through, and the door to the steel trap was missing. I checked myself over thankfully I hadn't sustained any dangerous wounds...at least by half demon standards.
"Azarath Metrion Zithos." I whispered into the air...and nothing happened. The air didn't even shift with a slight crackle of the power I was trying to unleash.
'Looks like escape just became a more tasking job.'
I paused a moment and stared into the corner and I saw a slight glint of metal as it rotated to focus on me again...a camera.
'Perverts.'
I pushed myself off the cot I was lying on a got into my familiar lotus position I was accustomed to when I meditated.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos." My body began to relax as the monotone chant carried me deeper into my mind...but not as deep as I usually would go, I needed to keep my mind open to the danger of being stuck here as a prisoner.
Five hours Later
No one had come by and I was starting to become...annoyed.
'Do they think of me so lightly that they presume I won't do anything?'
I opened my eyes glaring at the camera I stood up and stretched...while making sure my cloak didn't shift and reveal anything to the prying eyes that watched from a distant room. When I completed stretching I was semi-pleased to hear footfalls outside my...cell. I watched as one the panels on one of the walls slid away with a hiss and opened to let in...Robin.
'I think I would have preferred Slade...I could kill him and partially destroy his empire.'
I followed his movements as he stepped in and the panel slid back into place with another hiss, creating a seamless wall again.
"Morning."
"Go to Hell." He glared at for a moment at me for a moment before smirking darkly; he reached behind him and pushed something. The humming I had been hearing since I woke up died.
"No one's watching anymore."
'Not good.'
He walked closer before bypassing me and sitting on the only furniture in the room...the cot. I turned to follow his movements and bit back a cry of displeasure as he sat down.
"Did the Titans even think before you all left me with Slade?"
"What?" I said aghast.
'He couldn't think...we left him there...on he?'
"Just answer the question. My patience wears thin." His whole body was tense and set in a predatorily stance...as if he were awaiting an attack from me.
"Robin..." I said uncharacteristically out of replies. "You believe we abandoned you."
It wasn't a question it was a statement from his earlier question I already knew the answer...and it did not please me to think that he believed that I would abandoned someone I deemed a friend.
"Of course I do...You never showed up." He stated seemingly calm but underneath but I could feel his barely controlled rage.
"We wouldn't have been able to help you. The nanobots would have seen to that...we tried though." I finished my sentence so quietly I was barely audible.
"He would've told me if you came. You're lying." It was then that I saw a flash of what he had gone through...everything he must have gone through. I couldn't feel pity or regret for him though...as I had gone through the same things with Trigon.
"Believe what you wish." I said in monotone sinking to the ground I got into the lotus pose once again and began to meditate. As the war had dragged on I had learned how to tune out everything so I could meditate in peace and now I used this lovely talent on Robin.
At least until he slapped me...the sheer force of the hit sending sliding across the floor before I was against the wall.
"Raven, I told you before don't push me." I touched my lip gingerly and looked at the drop of blood on my fingertip with something akin to curiosity. I knew he had changed but...I didn't think he would hit someone who once was an ally.
"Bastard."
"Been called worse."
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." It was a weak idea but I hoped that when he shut of the camera that he may have shut off whatever was stopping my powers from working.
To my ire Robin threw his head back and laughed," Your powers won't work in this room. After all what's the point of capturing you if you could just create and portal and disappear."
I glared at him from the darkness of my hood biting back my remark and becoming deadly quiet.
"If you are going to be that way, I'll take my leave."
"Good...perhaps the foul odor that came in with you with will leave with you." I smirked as he left in a huff, the hiss of the panel heralded my victory before the hum of the camera came on again.
'This is going to be a long day...I need tea.'
I walked back over to the cot debating whether the need for sleep was so intense I had to sleep on contaminated piece of furniture.
I sat down and looked straight into the camera again before a rather idiotic idea popped into my head.
'I'll regret this but...'
I lifted up my right head and flipped up my middle finger. I could almost envision the looks of shock and outrage...and it amused me a little.
I laid my head down on the pillow after deciding sleep was more important than my disgust at the moment at least.
'I'm going to kill Robin and send Slade to Azarath...or vise versa..'
As I drifted off to sleep I couldn't help but think that Robin had become...cute over the years.
My eyes snapped open and I sighed.
'So much for me being sane.'

Author's notes: Okay...um sorry that the chapter is so short. But it gave Robin's perspective,well kind of, on the incident five years ago and kind of tells you why he hates Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire at the moment.
Hope you liked this chapter of 'Broken Robin'.
If you have complaints, question, suggestions, or all of the above, don't hesitate to review and tell me.
I'll even except it in the form of a flame if I have to...if only to get your opinion.
