Robin forced his doubts out of his mind, seeing as all they were doing was keeping him from getting in touch with his friends. He needed his communicator.
"Robin in, Cyborg you there?" Robin asked.
"Yo Robin, What was that all about back there!" Cyborg yelled, not even concerning who else was listening in.
"Look, I'm sorry," Robin stated, "but I was really hurt. . ."
"I'm sure you were Robin. . .Did you know Starfire almost died? She was fighting way more villains than you were too!" Cyborg attacked.
Cyborg actually sounded much sleepier over the intercom than Robin thought he would have. After all, it was around ten in the morning and that was when everyone was usually awake. Perhaps Cyborg hadn't had a good night since Starfire was so badly injured.
"What can I say I'm sorry?" Robin yelled back suddenly, loosing control.
"You're the one that promised us we wouldn't need to worry about this kind of trouble!" Cyborg returned.
Robin was left speechless. How could he? He had known he done the worst possible, yet hearing it from Cyborg really proved it. "What have I done?" He asked himself.
"Raven was right, we shouldn't have come." Cyborg replied to Robin's silence, "Cyborg out."
Beast Boy woke up with Raven in his arms. Beast Boy let go of her quickly in fear that she would get angry with him. He had tossed and turned in the night, but when he felt something push up against him, he hadn't realized it was Raven.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Beast Boy apologized repetitively.
Raven slowly came to. At first with her eyes closed she yawned. When she opened her eyes to Beast Boy not even angry at him, understandingly, she yawned again.
"Good morning Beast Boy," She greeted as she wiped away the crust in her eyes.
Beast Boy was perplexed when he saw her this way. "Isn't she supposed to be mad at me?" Beast Boy asked himself. Raven heard his thoughts, being toned into them for the first time in a while.
"Why would I be mad at you Beast Boy? You saved my life. . ." Raven sighed as she got up a little carelessly.
"I. . .What?. .You heard that?. ." Beast Boy asked.
"Sorry if you don't like me reading your thoughts. . ." Raven apologized for one of the first times in her life.
"What! She. . .Raven. . .Sorry!" Beast Boy asked himself, really confused.
"If you don't want me to be sorry, then you can go away." Raven said a little colder than before.
"It's my thoughts." Beast Boy said a little to simply.
When the two of them were done talking they went to the river where they drank from. Then they received a call from Robin.
"Robin in," Robin said from the other side.
"Hey Robin", Raven said.
"I'm sorry for running away from you guys yesterday. I was hoping, however, that we can regroup somewhere today." Robin said.
"Sure," Raven replied, not checking her surroundings.
"Yikes!" Beast Boy yelled.
"BB quiet," Raven called.
"Is everything ok?" Robin asked from the other line.
"Yeah, Beast Boy's just annoying me again." Raven announced.
Beast Boy started running away from the scenery. He was surely scared of something. Raven hadn't noticed the danger.
"Beast Boy?" Raven asked just before she fell to an attack.
Overload had punched her. He was going to take Raven down.
"Raven? Beast Boy? Raven!" Robin yelled through the communicator.
"Raven!" Beast Boy yelled just as hoarsely as Robin just had.
Robin knew something was wrong now so he put away his communicator. Beast Boy's body slammed Overload as an elephant. Overload grabbed a hold of some branches overhead and lunged back at them. Beast Boy shape shifted into a blue jay and flew away from his fumbling attack. Beast Boy returned as a gorilla and pounded the heck out of Overload.

Starfire and Cyborg were getting free breakfast from the bar inside the inn. Just as they began eating, Plasmas entered the inn and started wrecking everything.
"Ah you picked the wrong day to mess with me!" Cyborg roared.
"Friend Cyborg, I sense disturbance in your voice. What is wrong?" Starfire asked.
"Not now Starfire." Cyborg replied.
"What just happened? I felt weird, as if Robin were next to me. How is that possible? I do not see him anywhere. . .I feel. . .lonely again. . ." Starfire thought.
Cyborg began attacking Plasmas, first with a sonic cannon and then punching and kicking him. Starfire was too distracted by her thoughts to fight. She tried, but she only got in the way of Cyborg. Cyborg fell to Plasmas as Starfire failed to attack.
"I do not understand what is going on," Starfire pleaded, "Forgive me!"
"Whatever. . .Just get out of my way Starfire. . ." Cyborg said harshly.
Cyborg tried his best to fend off the overgrown beast, but it was to powerful for him to face alone, and he did not want Starfire's help since all she did was get in his way at the moment. He did not know what was wrong with her but he didn't take the time to ask or understand why.
Meanwhile, Robin was having trouble dealing with yet more of the villains from the Brother Hood of Evil.
"I don't have the time," Robin snarled.
He quickly faced them all and took them out. He couldn't change the past that he had engraved, but he could change the future for the titans, and he knew he wanted to change it for the better.
He ran quickly all the way over to where his transmission with Raven and Beast Boy last occurred. He knew that if he traced it back he'd eventually find his friends, and possibly their foe.
To no avail did he ever find his friends. All he found was Raven's communicator on the ground. Was he to late?
More enemies from the Brother Hood of Evil strike Robin from behind. He couldn't handle them all as they tucked him into the ground. Red X, who wore a certain costume Robin once used to trick Slade, helped him.
"Why are you helping me?" Robin asked, wiry of being crippled by the awesome attack.
"Aren't you just glad that I'm helping?" Red X asked.
Red X finished off the last of the bad guys before giving a hand out to Robin. What was his motives?
"What do you want?" Robin asked feeble minded.
"Whatever I want, and seeing as we both need each other's help, I trust it you'll trust me," Red X obliged lightly.
"I've got no other choice," Robin stared at Red X.
Robin took Red X's hand so he could get up easier. He only did this so he could help his friends. He couldn't do this on his own.
"But don't think we're on good terms just quite yet." Robin accused Red X over nothing.
Cyborg was finished. Starfire recovered her temporarily lost powers when she saw her friend fall painfully. Starfire took out Plasmas with her uncanny, but powerful punches. She despised her friends being hurt. Plasmas stretched out his arms and sucked Starfire into him. Starfire exploded out of the Beast made of zits and shot him with her eye laser.
"Friend Cyborg, please awake. I can not bear to see you unconscious." Starfire begged.
He did not awake from his snooze nor did he show any sign at all that he was alive. Starfire became frightened that her friend would never awake.
Just when she was about to give up on her departed friend, so she thought, he came back online, rubbing his head where it hurt most.
"Oh. . .My head!" he complained.
"Oh Cyborg you're ok!" Starfire explained, hugging her friend being so happy that she's alive.
"Of course I am ok, it's me." Cyborg joked around.
Cyborg and Starfire signed out of the inn and set off for Robin. The sooner they regroup, the sooner they could plan. Cinderblock arrived before Cyborg and Starfire got to far. Cyborg pushed Starfire out of the way right as Cinderblock kicked him.
"Get out of here Star!" Cyborg yelled.
"I must help," Starfire said.
Cyborg countered as he tried to hold back the giant beast, "There isn't much you can do Star, save yourself!"
Starfire attacked the Cinderblock, but as soon as she did, more criminals came to the aid of their fellow friend. Starfire and Cyborg tried their best to battle them, with Cyborg annoyed that Starfire didn't follow his commands.
Cyborg was pummeled into the pizza palace. A young man was at the counter, scared for his life because he knew there was something odd going on outside. He had seen most of the commotion, and not seeing that every day made him terrified to go out and take the trash with him.
"Who the heck are you?" he asked.
"Just a hero," Cyborg replied.
Cyborg punched Mad mod down, who was one of the bad guys aiding rock man, and tripped over something obnoxious. When Cyborg got around to seeing the texture and size of this repulsive object. It was a ghastly piece of rock that came from Cinderblock. It was no ordinary rock.
"Ewe. . ." Cyborg said in disgust.
There was a nasty odor that reminisced a very common, yet foul.
"Is that poop?" Cyborg asked,
Cyborg needed help, but his only help so far was being dragged away. Cyborg ran to Starfire in hopes of saving her, but Cinderblock returned and clobbered the living daylights out of him.
"Quick now!" called someone from above.
"Right," replied his brother.
