guys that last chapter was really rushed and well I need to back in to the swing of things since I haven't worked on this in almost 2 years! Thank you so much for reviewing! It really means the world to me. I heart you guys! Well I hope you enjoy this next chapter, it kinda goes back to a really dark Robin. By the way, how hot is Robin's hair when its wet? So see I was kinda going for a mix of that with the How Long Is Forever Nightwing look. What can I say I have a lot of time on my hands. God I'm dork huh? "Robin?" Her sweet voice echoed in the empty streets, still wet with the rain. I looked down at the girl I had just had my lips against. Why was I doing this? It was wrong in so many ways. I had lost control and she had taken advantage of it. Just as Starfire had for the last 2 months. I had fallen for it. I was weak." I am sorry for interrupting. I did not realize..." Her voice trailed off. It seemed as though she was at a loss for words. I lifted my head to the black sky. Pitch black. Peaceful almost. Not even the moon could bee seen through the ever-present cloud cover. A light breeze of cool air washed over the scene. I looked at the girl I had just kissed. She stood there a devilish smile on her lips. She pulled me closer to her, standing on her tip toes she softly asked me to her place. She made sure Starfire could hear. I studied her face closely. She had on a thick layer of powder and blush, trying to disguises her many blemished. Her eye shadow was a bright purple that had been applied up to her eyebrows. Her red lipstick was smeared slightly and I wondered if it now stained my lips. Her nose was long and looked like it had been broken many times. Then I looked to the red head who's green eyes burned into my soul. She had on no makeup, except for a light gloss on her lips. Yet she seemed to glow . Her beauty out shown any girl there that night, especially the one standing in front of me.

"No" I muttered to the girl, shaking my head still mesmerized by the alien girl." "You're to depressing anyways" The girl aggressively brushed past me, flipping her hair. Yet hardly noticed. The beauty I was now looking at brought many conflicting thoughts. I wanted to hurt her, make it so she would no longer want to be near me anymore. So she could just leave me alone so I could be left to my nightmares. Over the last two months she had distracted me from my thoughts and dreams. I thought less of them and more of her. That was dangerous. I often thought of her beauty and her warm embrace. Her smile and her laugh. I wanted to be like her. To have faith in even the worst of situations and never expect the worse. But I knew she could never return these wanting thoughts. These horrible tormenting thoughts that seemed to go against who I was. What I wanted to be. I was not the kind of person who could be so easily infatuated by another. I was strong and focused. Most of all I was independent. Sure I was part of a team, but I was the leader. They needed me, not the other way around. I was strong for them. And I always knew that if anything ever happened I could go on alone. Yet the part of me that pined for her made me question my self. Something I hated. There for I hated her right? I turned walking towards the streets. "Robin?" her voice called out. Stay strong I told myself. Don't look back. Never look back. So I didn't. I roughly started my bike and speed off towards Titans Tower. Towards darkness and solitude. It was an hour later and I was carelessly flipping through the file on overload. My mind was a mess. The voices inside my head were screaming, trying to take over. It was becoming to much when they were shattered by a knock on the door, Just as I predicted it was Starfire. She had arrived back at the tower shortly after me and had come to my door three times already pleading for me to let her enter and apologizing but I had ignored her. This time her voice was different more urgent as she explained the situation. "Robin! It is Slade! He has made contact with us and wishes to speak to you on the teli vision!" She franticly told me. I leapt up letting the papers fall to the floor. I rushed out of the room past Starfire and to the common room. There just as Starfire had told me was Slade. His mask made it appear that he only had half a head as the other half blended into the shadows. Robin knew that under his mask he was smirking. "How nice of you to make an appearance" The smooth voice bleed into the room giving the boy wonder chills. "what do you want Slade?" Robin spat as Raven and Beastboy stood nearby wondering the outcome of this situation, Cyborg still not come from the club. "I'm sorry was I interrupting your Birthday party? I see you have acquired a new uniform. Birthday present perhaps?" Robin was in no mood to beat around the bush tonight. "How is you know everything about us? What do want?" "Robin it is only wise to know everything about your enemy. But you should know that right?" Slade lectured. "I want to meet you face to face" Robin inched towards the screen. Patience" Robin was now fuming. The last thing he wanted was advice from his most hated criminal. "What the hell do you want?" The boy pushed the words through his teeth. "Only to wish you a happy Birthday" The screen went blank. The two titans in the room inched closer together afraid of what their leader would do. "Well that was pointless" Beastboy let out a fake giggle after his statement and Raven gave him the evil eye. "Extremely pointless" the boy wonder responded. Walking towards the hallway. He mindlessly punched in the security code to his bedroom causing the door to fly up and he entered. The room was dark and the rain had started again. His window was open letting the rain spill onto the carpet. He ran his fingers through his unruly hair. He made his towards the bed only to find someone already sitting on it. She had not looked up when he whispered her name. She only stared at a small piece of paper in her hand. "What are you doing" He asked, his anger rising. Still fuming over Slade he was in no mood to find this girl here, without his permission. "Why do you have this?" She asked handing him the paper. He studied it only to see it was the picture of her he had taken from her file. His breathing became heavy. He had kept this picture in the black journal she had given him. Did that mean she had read his journal? "What are doing in here?" he lowered his voice his body tense ready to pounce. She seemed to shrink on his bed at the sound of his cold voice. She swallowed deciding it might be a good idea to answer him. " Iwished to speak to you" She answered still visibly nervous. "So you just sneak into my room? Go through my things!" He yelled at the wide eyed girl. "Robin what has Slade said to upset you so" She asked standing up. The wind blew her hair to one side and the lightning reflected on her skin. "Its YOU I'm upset with. I want you to leave." he skulled her. Turning his head so he didn't have to look at her. "Friend Robin, I am sorry that I interrupted you this evening with that girl. I did not mean any harm" She seemed to have a surge of courage as she rested her hand on his chilled check. "What were you doing tonight Starfire? With all those boys? He accused. Her eyebrows furrowed." "They were only being friendly." She told him. Was it true that she could not see their bad intentions? "You don't get it do you!" He was frustrated. More with himself and Slade than at her. "Robin," She cooed at him bringing her hands to his face. Her touch was fire in this cold room. He fell into her touch. He could feel her body pressed against his. They were so close "No" he whispered. This was wrong he told himself. How dare she come in here like this and torment him? All she could bring was pain and hurt. He couldn't go through that again. But her touch was so gentle and caring. So real. "No" He said again but this time a little louder and more forceful. He pulled away. I can never love her he told himself. Ok sorry that was probly a weird way to end that chapter. But don't worry all this pointless Slade stuff does have a reason! All will soon be reviled! I really hoped you liked it. Holy cream filled twinkies Batman! Review that story! Please? ;) Seaerra
