Darkness surrounded her… existing off her life…
'Where am I?' she thought weakly, as she moved to raise herself up, but could not, as her energy had left.
She could hear the slithering of snakes, crawling of insects and rodents, and she shuddered involuntarily.
All she could perceive was shadows, no light to accompany them.
She struggled to hoist herself up, but it was of no use. A silent tear fell from her eye, as she hurriedly wiped it off her cheek.
'I cannot cry. Raven Roth does not cry.' She thought to herself.
Her eyes were now shut, as she attempted to use her powers.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She whispered.
She opened her eyes to find nothing had happened.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she said a bit louder. Still, nothing occurred.
She sighed. "What's going on?" she asked to herself, her voice cracking.
'My powers will not work, for they are dark magic.'
'I must be dwelling in dark magic for this to arise.' She thought, as her legs contained some energy in them, and she limped as she walked around in darkness.
Infirmary: Robin's breathing was slow and steady, but he was doing well than before. Back then, he was hardly breathing at all. It was dark. He heard voices, and was pretty sure that they were his friends'. He heard little pieces of what they were saying. "Robin… some sort of… not positive… I'm not… did it… it's gotta…" "Why will he not… what shall…" "I … drug… later…" "I hope… okay…" He grunted. His eyes opened, and he was glad his mask was still on. "Uh… what the hell?" A few minutes before…"Well guys, I have bad news." Cyborg said, entering the infirmary.
"Yes Friend Cyborg? What do you wish to tell us? Why is this news bad?"
"Well… Robin has some sort of drug in him. I'm not positive, but I think Slade did it. It's gotta be him, considering Robin kept mumbling his name."
"Why will he not awaken? What shall happen to him? What is this 'drug' you speak of?"
"I don't know. The drug is… I'll explain later."
"Dude, I hope he's okay."
Just then Robin grunted. "Uh… what the hell?"
"Dude! You're awake!"
"Friend Robin! You have awakened!" She went over to hug him, but Cyborg stopped her before she did so.
"What's…" he didn't have any energy.
"Save your breath man. You lost a lot of blood."
He nodded, too tired to argue.
"Starfire, Beast Boy, can you leave the room. I need to talk to Robin about something privately."
"Okay."
As soon as they left, Robin motioned to Cyborg that he was listening.
"Have you been in any contact with Slade?"
Robin looked away. He shook his head, saying no.
"Robin, tell me the truth. In your blood stream, I found some sort of drug. I can't tell what the name is… but I know what it does."
"Well?" Robin said, his voice cracking.
"It… turns you irrational… or insane."
Robin's eyes bulged.
That chemical Slade gave him after Raven collapsed didn't allow Slade to see and hear everything in the tower.
It made him insane.
Just like Raven.
Ha, ha, ha. (Just kidding). Cliffy. I'm beginning to enjoy writing this story. Please review.
