Chapter 2

He knew just as much as the next guy

Robin then turned on his heel and marched to the living room.

The remaining titans were all there as expected. The boys were playing the Game Station and Star was watching the screen intently as BB and Cy went head to head.

"Raven left" Robin announced. This piece of news made all their heads whip around.

"What do you mean Raven left?" Cyborg asked with a frown.

"She just told me that she was leaving and she left"

"There must be a reason" Starfire stated

"I think it has something to do with that riot, and what she failed to tell us before we left" Robin said thinking.

"It doesn't make any sense" Cyborg said.

"I know" Robin agreed.

"Raven wouldn't do something like that, without a really good reason" Beast Boy said.

"I know that's why I want to know what exactly what's going on. We don't want a repeat of her destiny." Robin said.

"So what do we do?" Cyborg asked.

"We try and figure out what the hell is going on" Robin replied immediately

"We have little to no clues" Cyborg said, stating the reality of the situation.

"Well we are going to have to look for more. Cyborg, I want you to check the web for anything about this riot and available stories. BB get hold of Titans East and tell them to keep their eyes open for a riot in their city, Star and I will scout the city for the word on the streets" Robin barked. All the titans went on their way.

Three hours later at dusk the titans regrouped, all coming back empty handed. That was when the telephone rang.

Then on the big screen Raven's face appeared.

"Hey guys, I know that I left quickly, but I had to get out of Jump City. It's something that I cannot explain, but it'll pass. I'm going to stay at Gotham for a while, if there is a desperate emergency contact me at Bruce's, but only if it's a life or death situation. It'll only be for a couple of months. I know that you do not understand, but as I said to Robin, ignorance is bliss"

The screen then went blank and the titans stood there quietly. The tension wasn't as thick as it was before, but it was still there. The titans then decided to retire for the night.

The next few days passed in a breeze, everything seemed to return to normal. The boredom rush came back with a vengeance. On one dark and stormy night, Robin couldn't sleep. He got up from his bed and wondered down the dark aisle. The lightning briefly lit up the corridor with a flash manipulating the shadow of the pot plant to look like some form of dark creature. Robin was oblivious to its existence and continued to the kitchen. He strolled lazily to the fridge, opened it, and stared at its contents. He gripped the milk and poured himself a glassful.

Robin put the carton back, shut the fridge with his leg while he scooped up his glass and padded back to his room. Robin turned from the living room door into the corridor and walked towards the elevator, sipping on his milk. There was a flicker of lightning followed by the powerful roar of thunder, and a black small figure jumped from one wall to the other, turned and jumped straight towards Robin. Everything then went black.

When Robin opened his eyes, he was in the infirmary and it was flooded in light. Robin frowned and then his vision was dominated by the worried face of his girlfriend. Starfire stared at him, "Robin, are you okay?" she asked concerned.

"Yeah" he replied, sitting up and rubbing his head.

"What happened?" Cyborg asked

"Yeah dude, you've been out for days" BB added.

Robin shook his head, "I'm not too sure, I remember the storm, and I went to get a glass of milk, and I was on my way back to the room. Then nothing after that."

"We heard you scream and found you lying on the floor with smashed glass at your side and milk spilt everywhere." Cyborg explained. Robin frowned then rubbed his head. Everything seemed to be a bit hazy. Robin then got off the bed slowly and padded barefoot towards his room, leaving the other titans behind him.

When Robin got to his room, he turned on the shower, gripped clean gear and his towel and walked into the bathroom. He slipped out of the medical gown, and it cascaded down his masculine body to a pool around his feet. He stepped into the shower and allowed the water to temporarily wash away all his troubles.

He leaned his hands against the wall and bowed his head; the warm water was like a masseuse and massaged away his troubles. Robin picked up his shower sponge and the bottle of body wash; he emptied some of the purple liquid onto the sponge and then began rubbing it upon his body.

The lavender scent enshrouded his senses reminding him of the person who had bought it for him on his birthday. She had explained that lavender was the only scent left. Robin didn't mind, it was the thought that counted. The body wash came in a big packet with other stress relieving items. Raven had said, "Hope this helps", when she gave him the present.

After he was clean, Robin jumped out of the shower and quickly dried himself, changed and then went down to the living room. When he entered Cyborg had ordered some pizza and offered him some. Robin took out a plate and upon it stacked three slices of pepperoni pizza. Robin watched BB and Cy go head to head on the Game Station while he ate. He looked over at Starfire, she was busy feeding Silkie. After Robin had eaten he excused himself and went to the gym and began beating the crap out of the innocent punching bag. He was training hard for a few hours, and when he was satisfied, it was dusk, and he had a quick shower and jumped into bed.

Robin slept for a few hours, and then at 04:12am, he awoke to him levitating off the bed. Robin's eyes grew wide; he just levitated high towards the ceiling. His body horizontal and somehow his limbs were subdued. Robin tried to fight the unknown force holding him still when things just became worse; the ceiling became a black portal, and from the portal, came a black claw. Petrified, Robin let out a scream. The claw wrapped around his limbs, then the titans burst into his room, the claw disappeared and Robin dropped to his bed, terror-stricken Robin scrambled off the bed and ran towards Cyborg, gripping his leg in a death grip.

Well that's the end of that. So Robin is going psycho, haha. Well it took forever to get here but its beginning. Hope you like it, if you don't, well then you'll just have to wait for the next chapter.
