Grim Reaper

Just a week ago, he had had his 17th birthday. He had received just a few gifts. As Richard Grayson, he didn't have many friends. As Robin, he had many friends but only four he had ever disclosed his birthday with. Sure, the whole city would of like to known when it was, but that was information that he couldn't just give away freely. Batman had taught never show someone the person behind the mask. You would just get hurt. He was already going overboard by letting them see as much as they had, at least according to Bruce. Bruce was the master of lies, deception, and definitely the master of pushing someone away. There was the story that if he got involved with anyone and one of his enemies found out, they could use them against him, hell, it happened to Robin a couple of times. Robin knew he was slowly becoming like Bruce, Batman. He was living two of the hottest young superheroines and had done nothing but push them away wit his obsessions. His life was pathetic, but he no time to dwell on such thoughts, cause he was in the fight of his life.

"Raven, whats happening to you?" Robin asked with obvious concern in his voice.

Her four eyes stared at him murderous intent and replied, "Raven is no more. Only Hatred! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She let out a evil laugh that sounded like it was from one of Beastboy's B horror movies. "I've waited all my life to do that." She stated now preparing to assault Robin.

"You had 17 years to come up with something to say and that's the best you could come up with. Man that's pathetic." Robin said, mocking Raven, Hatred, whatever the hell her name was. He wasn't sure what was going on but he was willing to play along for now.

"Zincaan Norse"

"AAAAAAAHHHHH" Hatred yelled in pain as a bright light blew a monstrous, hole through the midsection of her body. Actually it nearly cut her in half.

"What the hell?" Robin shouted as he turned and faced Dr. Fate. His hands still smoking from the intenseness of the spell.

"It was necessary and you know it. As long as she was alive she could summon Trigon. This is a lasting solution." Fate stated rather coldly.

"Hahahahaha. You talk as if I were dead or something." Hatred said as appeared from the shadows behind Fate. Fate turned around just in time to see her reaper blade plunge into his chest. He cried out in pain as his body was reduced to ashes. Robin could only stare in horror.

"Ho-How di-did you do that?" He stammered. At least he wasn't completely at lose for words.

"Did you truly believe that this puny human's magic could kill me. Or did you mean how I killed him. This weapon," she said pointing to her reaper, "Is a marvelous weapon. It grows stronger every soul it captures. His power is now mine. Now, I'm sorry to say, I must take my leave, so that I may release Daddy.

"Without killing me too? I though you like killing us puny humans." Robin retorted. He always had a knack for pushing his luck.

"You will die like everyone else in this galaxy when Father is released. You just wait and see." With this she morphed into a raven and shadow jumped away.

"What's Slade up to this time!" Cyborg shouted as he charge into the Titan's main room. He had been in the tower's garage when the level 5 alarms went off. Working on his baby was the only way he could get away from his problem. Everywhere else he had to be the guy that supported everybody else. He had to lie to them and say that everything was going to alright. Just once he wanted to believe that, but from the day of the accident that turn him into superhero, he was a realist. Cyborg shook these troubled thoughts out of his head and looked up at the absolutely freaking huge screen that doubled as a TV and a communication device. The only person who could set off the level five alarms, the highest level they had, was Robin, which meant he was alive but also meant something big was going down, usually Slade.

"Not, Slade." Robin reported to the Titans. "Its Raven. The prophecy coming true."

"Is she alright!" Beastboy shouted. "You've had us worried sick!"

"Not really. Remember when you and Cyborg fought Raven's hatred." Robin said to Beastboy.

"Yes!" Beastboy replied. "What's this got to do wit"

"Well as far as I can tell Hatred has taken control of Raven. She's bent on releasing Trigon." Robin explained, interrupting Beastboy's usual ranting.

"Damn," Cyborg muttered under his breath. "This just can't be good." He looked at the screen and replied "We'll meet you there. TITANS GO!"

"Cyborg!" Robin yelled to get his attention. "One more thing, bring me Raven's gift." He said calmly as he cut off his transmission.

Sorry about bashing Batman earlier but it was necessary for the storyline. Now, for the reviews.

Yoyoyo: Thanks a lot. Here's the update. BTW, how the hell did you come up with that username? If you get this please tell me. I'm curious. :)

Red halo: Again, thanks a lot. Just for you people, I will be writing about Trigon (Satan) from a biblical point of view.

Raven42431: Thanks. You are a very special person. You are the only repeat reviewer. Thanks for waiting. I had a massive case of writers block, but I think it is over. I will be update much, much faster.

Ravenwithemotion: At least your not completely at loss for words. (Huge fit of laughter) No, just kidding. At least your letting me know your there.

Thanks to all the people who endured my story and lived to review it. And if you read and don't review. Shame on you. I don't care if you don't have anything constructive to say, just let me know your out there. That is all I need to know. But, a little constructive criticism never hurt a story.

Later for now,
