It was official…Slade was probably going to kick his ass, he never lost a target, it was one of the laws he lived by, and then and all of a sudden some red-head flies into his life…a beautiful red-head…And then he looses a target, and starts thinking crap!
Robin threw off his helmet and stormed into his apartment. He was seriously annoyed, and then as if on queue his phone started to ring, Robin groaned and dragged his feet over to the phone and picked it up. Knowing who it was tried to act casual.
"Yeah?" He said trying to act like his normal cocky and arrogant self.
An aggravated voice filled the other line. "Don't give me any of your crap Robin, Dr Chang's body didn't turn up at the morgue as planned, what the hell happened?" Slade snarled. Robin couldn't hold back a flinch.
"The titans got in the way; I've never dealt with them before." Robin said sounding defeated. But Slade didn't cut him any slack, like he ever did.
"I trained you to take care of any obstacle; four freaks shouldn't be any exception!" Slade snarled, Robin closed his eyes in an attempt to stay calm. He was kicking himself enough; he didn't need Slade on his back.
"I'll make it up to you Slade." Robin growled. Slade was quiet for a moment.
"I'm giving you one chance, kill Chang by the end of the night, or you'll be the one in the morgue." There was a clicking sound and the line then went dead.
Robin sighed, he slowly moved over to his window, he looked out onto the horizon; the sun was just coming up. The windows on the skyscrapers glistened, but one building stood out most of all.
Titan's tower
TT
A black Raven flew through the roof of Titan's tower, when the raven disappeared five people stood on its place, one was tied up and gagged, and one promptly ran off in the direction of the bathroom.
"I'll take Chang to the holding room." Cyborg sighed. "Then I'll be in my room if anyone needs me, I have to reboot properly, that punk messed up my systems." Cyborg then muttered a stream of curse and dragged Chang out with him.
Raven threw her hood over her face before turning to Starfire who stood there looking lost. "Starfire, if your upset about letting him get away, forget it, there's always tomorrow, that guy looked like he had an ego, he'll be back to laugh in our faces, then we'll get him."
"I know friend. It's just…" Starfire trailed off. Raven raised an eyebrow, sensing a battle of emotions from the girl. She then turned herself and left.
Starfire slumped against the sofa, slowly lowering herself onto the floor. She was so confused, she'd never felt like this before. So many conflicting emotions were raging through her. Anger, sadness, fear, hope, love…lust?
Starfire shook her head violently, so her bangs hit her in the face. He was the enemy…nothing more.
TT
Robin stood on the roof, a small device in his hand, it was scanning the tower for life forms, security etc, and he had to say, he was impressed by what he saw. There were cameras, an auto-defense system, movement detectors in the air vents…in fact it was a wonder they didn't already know he was here.
Robin looked at the building thinking about the best plan of action…it seemed the only way in was through the place, what was better, going back to Slade and definitely getting the stuffing beaten out of you, or go into the tower, maybe get the stuffing beaten out of you…well, it looked like he was going in.
Robin eased the back open, and he smirked in success, one no alarms had gone off, and two, there was a computer panel right there, just waiting to be hacked. Robin cracked his fingers and started to rapidly type into the system, there were intense defenses on the computer but slowly Robin worked his way through everyone, Slade had taught him how to crack defense systems when he was eleven, many targets knew they were being hunted and paid stupid amounts of money on security which he took care of in fifteen minutes tops.
A beeping sound rewarded Robin; he smirked as a giant T took up the screen. It read:
WELCOME TO THE TEEN TITAN'S MAINFRAME.
Robin clicked again and more writing appeared.
THIS IS WHERE WE KEEP OUT FILES, OUR RECORDS, EVERYTHING ABOUT US.
Robin clicked again and his eyes widened.
SO DID YOU REALLY THINK WE'D LET YOU HACK US THAT EASILY?
Robin backed away from the computer and the beeping sound became faster, the screen started to flash menacingly, and then to top it off a voice ran out.
"TITAN TOWER DEFENSE SYSTEM ONLINE…DEFENSE SYSTEM ONLINE."
Robin unsheathed his sword. "Awww sh-!" Before Robin could finish his sentence mental plating clamped down on every doorway, sirens ran out and panels in the walls opened up to reveal laser guns and small white and blue robots with red lenses crawled out from every nook and cranny. (Think how long is forever.)
Robin ran along the corridor and down the stairs using his sword to reflect the lasers coming at him. He jumped over some of the bug robots and crushed one with his feet, he turned a corner and met a dead-end.
What was with this place!
Robin thought frantically as he turned and prepared to run back into the danger again.

Cyborg was laughing when he typed into the system at that little hacker, he hadn't forgiven the punk for scrambling his circuits and this was just perfect revenge, he felt his comm. link beep in his arm and took a look at Beastboy's face.
"Dude! Who broke in? I can't get out of my fricking bedroom!" Beastboy exclaimed loudly over the sirens.
"Don't worry BB; as long as we're in our rooms the defense system won't do anything." Cyborg reassured his green friend. "Hey log on your PC and watch the fun, that punk form the observatory is here and is having a hard time." He added gleefully.
"Sorry to be the one who tells you this Cy, but Star never went to her room, she's in the common room, and I'm thinking the defense system isn't going to take kindly to her being there." BB said darkly.
"I hope she's ok, 'cause there's nothing I can do at the moment. I can't turn it off in less I'm in the tech room, and as you can see, I'm not." Cyborg replied putting a hand to his head. "And while it's online nothing gets in or out of the rooms."
"What about Raven; can't she teleport or something?" Beastboy asked hopefully. Cyborg's face lit up.
"I'll check." Cyborg typed rapidly into his keyboard…Beastboy watched his face gradually drop.
"No can do, she's…by the looks of things, in her mirror." Cyborg said.
"Damn it dude, what are we gonna do, Star's in there, with a load of guns and a crazy dude with a sword!" Beastboy yelled, waving his hands to add drama.
"Hey don't worry dawg, Star can handle herself, she'll be fine." Cyborg said leaning back. "But I'm keeping an eye on her just in case."

"EEP!" Starfire squealed as four laser beams shot at her, she rapidly took flight to dodge them. "I wish for you to stop now please!"
The lasers replied by shooting at her again. Her eyes widened, she flew to her left and shot starbolts, they hit their targets and exploded, but more guns replaced them, Starfire growled deeply and tried something new, she flew for her life.
TT
Robin was spinning, leaping, sprinting, rolling, bolting and flipping to dodge the lasers, sweat poured down his face as one just missed his arm. This was getting hard, it was like the lasers were determining where he was going to be.
Robin reflected another laser; the beam reflected back on itself and exploded. He then took a rolling dive under a staircase, out of the laser's reach. He caught his breath. He wasn't expecting the tower to be this hard to beat, every laser canon he took out replaced itself! Not even Slade's training scenarios did that.
He ran out from his hiding place and started to dodge the lasers, he was looking back and didn't see the flying object speed right at him, he looked and in that split second their eyes met and widened considerably. And then of course…they crashed.
Starfire crashed into his chest, she eeped again as they both went speeding back, through a wall and down into the darkness of the basement.
TT
Starfire opened her eyes, yet didn't see a thing; she was lying on something soft and…and moving? Starfire scrambled off what ever it was and lit a starbolt.
Of course. She thought darkly. It was him. Even though she didn't like this one bit a part of her was relieved to be away from the lasers, and of course a fluttering in her stomach appeared as she looked at as he stirred, groaning slightly. Starfire stood up and readied her starbolts.
He scrambled to his feet, and faced her, they were silent, and both refused to move. He grasped his sword tightly, and she was posed and ready to fire, but neither did.
"Wh…why are you here?" Starfire asked quietly, the light from her bolts illuminating them softly. Robin was staring at Starfire, parts of her costume were ripped and now he couldn't take his eyes off her body. Her voice sadly dragged him back to reality and he snapped back into his cold personality.
"I popped in for a social visit." He drawled sarcastically. "I'm here for my target obviously."
Starfire's eyes narrowed at him. "Why do you need to kill him so badly?"
"I never miss a target."
"You make them sound like objects." Starfire said, her innocence shining. "They are human beings, just like you, yet you'll kill them without a second thought, why? How?"
Before he knew it Robin was in her face, and before he knew it he answered. "It's all I know." He whispered. Starfire frowned slightly confused.
"You can't have been killing all your life; you must have had a life before being an assassin."
Robin's eyes widened as he looked into her orbs that were so close.
"You must have had a life before being an assassin…"
Images flashed through his mind…
He hugged his mother tightly…
His father ruffling his hair as he learnt a new gymnastic trip….
A figure in the shadows with a glittering knife…
His mother's eyes as she fell…her green eyes.
Robin's eyes welled up. He tried to stop them, before he knew a tear fell from behind his mask. Starfire softly reached out to wipe it away.
"There must be more to you than a killer." She whispered. He looked into her, through her eyes, and into her soul, into her heart which she wore on her sleeve; she was like his mother…yet so different.
Robin dropped his sword, it clattered to the ground, Starfire's starbolts flickered out leaving them in the dark, yet they could see each others faces perfectly, and then slowly he reached up, and cupped her cheek. He slowly brought her face to his, their noses practically touching.
Starfire's eyes slowly closed as their his lips softly caressed hers, it was a tender kiss, but as soon as their lips touched Robin wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened it. Starfire groaned softly and wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands softly touching his hair. Robin ran his tongue across her bottom lip, as if begging for entry; she smiled softly and granted it.
Before they knew it they were in love.
And before Robin knew it, the biggest weakness of all had come into play.
