"R-Robin?"

Her confusion only lasted a split second before she yanked her hand from his grip and fired a starbolt at his face. He quickly ducked and rolled over on his back to avoid being hit from Starfire's eye blasts. They weren't as merciful as they were last time. And the way Starfire shot those starbolts with her accuracy made him question if she had been practicing extra while he was gone. Either that or pure fury.

"You-You traitor! You Ridvack Gorsmick! Saglar Korsarg Mavin!"

She continued shouting incoherent words until Robin pulled up behind her and wrapped his arm around her neck.

She abruptly stopped, eyes widened in fear, and desperately tried to pry his arms from her neck.

Robin took a quick glance to Slade. But he was too occupied with Beastboy to notice him. "Starfire, Starfire listen to me," he whispered in her ear. But it was no use. The Tameranian thrashed in terror. Did Starfire really think he was going to kill her? Had she lost all trust in him?

His question was answered as Starfire flipped him over her and he landed hard on the ground. Before he could get up Beastboy leaped on him in the form of a tiger clawing and slashing anything he could touch. Robin finally managed to grab Beastboy's paws and kick him off himself only to be blasted by Starfire's starbolt again.

Where the heck was Slade? Weren't they supposed to be working as a team?

'I can't be helping you all the time Robin. You have to learn to defend yourself.'

He hated his voice. With every word Slade spoke, it felt as if someone was jamming a needle in is brain. Not at all like the Raven's words, which seemed to melt with his.

He flipped out of the way of Cyborg's cannon. "We aren't going to go easy on you this time Robin. Now where's Raven?"

They thought he had her? Like he was holding her hostage? He could have yelled at them. Slade was holding both of them hostage.

'Taunt them Robin. Get them angry. Anger can be used to your advantage.'

"You weren't going easy? You could have fooled me otherwise. But I can't blame you. One of your eyes is missing."

Cyborg growled and shot another round of blasts at Robin. Taking out his bo-staff he jumped in front of Cyborg and smashed it through his chest plate.

"Aw, too slow aren't we? Maybe you should just be fully robot and you might be able to move faster."

Cyborg yanked the bo-staff from his hands and snapped it like a twig then threw it harmlessly aside. Robin could tell his battery was already draining from the attack and in a few minutes Cyborg would be rendered useless.

But that didn't stop him. He threw punch after punch at Robin, which he easily dodged, each using a little more energy than the last. It only took a kick from Robin to send him to the ground where he lay still.

Beastboy came rushing at him in the form of a bear. He smashed a mighty paw at Slade's new apprentice. Robin had barely enough time to dodge the attack.

"You know Beastboy. I don't know why I had you on this team. I should've kept you with the Doom Patrol," Robin sneered.

Beastboy roared, stood up to his massive height, and began to ruthlessly slash at Robin with his paws.

But, Robin noticed, anger was on his side. Beastboy was attacking furiously yet none of his attacks even came close to him. He could've just stood there and all his attacks would've missed.

Robin pulled a disk from his belt and tossed it at Beastboy. In seconds his feet became frozen. The ice moved steadily up his body until he made a final roar before his whole body was paralyzed.

"You guys are weak. I don't know why I saw any potential in you to be on my team. I should've just stayed solo."

'That's it Robin. You know their weakness, taunt them then attack.'

He only had one more person to face and the way she was looking at him she was more than a little mad. Her face showed one of pure hatred.

"Aw, Starfire. What happened to cute joyful one I used to know?"

"Traitor," she hissed.

"Me?" He shrugged. "I'm not the one calling you names in a different language."
"I knew never to trust you again. And now look. You have gone and become a criminal! And now, now you have taken Raven hostage!"

"I've taken Raven hostage?" he said in disbelief, "I didn't take her hostage. Sl-"

A sudden wave of pain racked his brain and shuddered. 'What do you think you are doing Robin? Raven is your hostage. Unless you want me to get rid of her…"

"No, you're right. I did take her hostage. And if you try to stop me again, I will kill her. I have the trigger right here." He pointed to a button on his belt, which was really for a smoke cover and hoped Starfire would be gullible enough to believe him.

Fortunately she was. The starbolts that where once aimed directly at him grew smaller and disappeared altogether. And the anger in her face turned into sadness. "I thought you had changed. I-I thought that you had finally trusted us all. I…guess I was wrong." She fell to the ground crying and Robin wanted to do nothing else but to pick her up and say it was ok and that this was all a trick but he knew he couldn't. Slade's presence was a reminder of what he could do and as much as it broke his heart to make Starfire cry he couldn't bear to see Raven killed.

"I was right. You are all weak."

'That's enough Apprentice. It's time to leave.'

"Starfire."

She gazed up at him her eyes gleaming with tears.

Another wave of pain shocked his mind. 'Robin. Now.'

'Yes…master.' But before he left, he pulled off the button on his belt and tossed it at Starfire. With that he turned and followed Slade.

Starfire hesitantly grabbed the device from the floor. Wasn't this the button to hurt Raven? No, Robin was lying again. This was…

Her hand curled into a fist and the device smashed in her hands.

"Slade."

A/N: Hey guys. Sorry it took so long. I had a major writer's block then I figured it out then I didn't know what chapter's to put in where then confusion…(something I'm not really good with.) But anyway hopefully the next chapter will come sooner.

So…on with the reviewers…

Madeline: Sorry, sorry! I'm trying! I'm trying!

Mollie Shadow: I have quizzes? Huh. Of course, Disney totally rocks and so does Teen Titans. However, I can't say Disney movies have been making them like they used to. I actually prefer animation over that new 3D stuff. I'll try to get my chapters out as soon as I can.

K.C. Raven: Aw, thanks. I try.

Infamous One: Yeah, the little tweaky things were pretty cool. And I have to say the Halloween suit is better than his traffic light suit (traffic light: clichéd I know, but it's true)

Bunnysquirrel: Really? Well, Happy belated B-day! Very belated…Groundhogs day huh? What was that groundhogs name? Fred? Or Pete? Or something like that. Mine's actually on the 1st but I had it done before and I didn't really want to change it. Lazy…

Paprika90: Yup, yup, yup. Slade like's to have all those small little things. Yes a movie but I don't think it's coming in theaters. So what? I'm still going to buy it anyway.

Hhgbh: Yes, I suppose Slade is a censored. but…well yeah, he's just like that. Sort of a side by side thing. Although Slade kinda abandoned him in the middle. I guess he's just too lazy, or getting too old. Yeah, and I guess he has to hear all of Raven's to since she has the same chip in her head too…

Chica De Los Ojos Café: Wait, no hypnotizing, or manipulation for the next chapter? Or is this all a plan? …..

Furubafun24: Yeah, I guess Cyborg could be called the smart one. Unfortunately they did jump to conclusions. Old habits die hard right? Thanks about the B-day. Sorry I haven't updated in a while.
