Joe-Ashaman: Thanks for the review. I thought the Hive would make things more interesting to, as for the marriages, if you want a second part well they'll be in that one.
Cherished18: lol I'm glad you like it, here's your update
Techna : thank you that was very nice of you. Here is a nice update for you to read.
Death of a Hero
"I can't believe he found out," said Slade. "It was supposed to remain a secret."
"I don't know," said the scientist. "We thought his memory was erased when we kidnapped him so long ago."
Slade had now taken residence in the side of the Jump City mountains. He hated those Titans even more. The only apprentice who had shown potential and the only one who'd shown loyalty, was now gone.
"I'm gonna kill Robin, even if I have to do it with my own bare hands," he said.
He turned on a communications link and pictures of Overload, Cinderblock, and Plasmus appeared.
"You three I want you to lure the Titans here," he instructed. "When they get here I want you to leave, they will face me after."
He turned around and smiled.
"Now Titans this will be the last time we meet," he said. "And I will kill you Robin."
Robin had been generating the picture for a few weeks now and was getting rather inpatient with it. He paced the length of the room until he heard a beep. He ran over to the computer and switched the screen on. He glanced at the photo and screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The other Titans were there in a second. They burst through to find Robin sobbing on his bed. Cyborg went to his computer and found the picture of Jon. The others were trying to help Robin. Raven wasn't doing anything.
"Raven," said Cyborg.
"Leave him," she ordered. "Get out, I'll help him."
They left reluctantly, and Raven shut the door. She walked over to Robin and held him.
"I can't believe this," he sobbed. "It's him, he's my brother. Jon's my brother."
"I know," she said.
"You know?" he asked.
"Yes, I figured it out a few weeks ago," she said. "I was going to tell you but you seemed so determined to figure this out on your own, so I stayed out of it."
"My brother, he's a criminal," he said.
"No he's not."
"He's stolen things and hurt innocent people?"
"He was listening to Slade. Slade obviously told him he was his son. He wanted to impress his father."
"I'm assuming that Jon knows to?"
"I'd assume that was correct. That might be why he was so scared after he saw that memory."
The alarm sounded.
Wandering the streets of Jump City, Jon had learned many valuable things. The most important, never trust anyone. A giant snowstorm had brewed over the course of a few hours and was now unleashing its wrath. He was slowly walking along an abandoned warehouse. He suddenly saw them. Overload, Cinderblock and Plasmus. He also saw the Titans fighting them. They were no match for the three of those things. He quickly grabbed his old costume. It was like Robins only no cape, and it was fully red and yellow. He floated up and above the fight.
"You three," he hissed.
They all looked up and Robin smirked. He found him.
"Take this," he shouted as flames erupted around him and tiny balls of psychic energy shot at Plasmus, Cinderblock and Overload. They ran off, but not to fast, like they were trying to lure them somewhere. Hopping in the T-Ship they took off. Robin glanced out and saw his brother flying along side them. He smiled and saw his brother smile back. They arrived at a mountain. They landed and got out. Robin held his hand out to Jon and smiled.
"Welcome to the team," he said.
"Thanks," said his brother.
"Aww how touching?" said Slade. "Finally reunited are we?"
Robin looked over and glared at Slade.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT," he screamed. "I'M GONNA TAKE PLEASURE IN KILLING YOU."
Robin lunged at Slade while the other Titans went after Plasmus, Cinderblock and Overload. Jon turned and went after his brother. He wasn't gong to let Slade do anything to hurt him anymore. Slade grabbed Robin and slammed him into the floor. Robin got up and sent a roundhouse kick to his head, connecting with a loud thud. Slade tripped Robin and then sent him flying into the wall. Robin got up again and threw a disk at Slade, missing. Slade ran at him and Robin turned to run, but he grabbed Robin's cape and threw him against a wall. He went to throw a punch but was stopped. Suddenly his hand snapped back and he was thrown back. He got up and looked over at Robin, who wasn't in good shape but was still insistent that he fight. Jon floated beside him, a few feet off the ground.
"I see," said Slade. "So I'm gonna get to kill the last of the amazing Flying Grayson's."
Robin looked shocked at this last bit of info.
"YOU TOLD HIM?" he screamed.
"No," said Jon. "He forced it out of me."
Robin threw a birdarang at Slade but he missed. Jon quickly floated up and screamed. Energy pulsated out of his body and covered everything. Slade looked up in shock. The whole mountain shook, causing everyone to fall. Plasmus, Cinderblock and Overload took off at this point. Jon shot Slade with a large beam of psychic energy, slamming him into the wall. Terra came running in and saw what was happening.
"Terra, cave it in, cause this place to fall apart," said Jon to Terra telepathically.
"Got it," she said
She started slamming rocks into the sides of the mountain and then brought down a part of the side of the mountain. The inside shook violently.
"It's gonna go down," she said. "Get out quickly."
Jon landed and ran off with Robin. Suddenly a large rock fell and hit Jon in the leg. He fell in pain.
"Jon," said Robin.
He grabbed the rock and threw it off.
"Are you ok?" he asked, concerned.
"Yeah I think it sprained my leg though," he answered.
Grabbing Jon's arm he helped him up and together they took off for the T-Ship, Jon limping, but being helped by Robin. They quickly got to the ship and sat down.
"Get this ship up now," ordered Robin.
"I can't the storms caused it to freeze up," said Cyborg.
Jon was looking down and trying different combos of buttons. Suddenly his head snapped up. He looked back and knew something wasn't right. He looked back to the team and his brother and smiled, knowing what he had to do. Opening the door he limped out.
"Hurry," said Robin. "We have to get out of here."
Starfire looked up and then looked around the ship and then gasped.
"Friends where is our new friend Jon?" she asked, frightened.
Robin turned, glancing around to try and find him, and saw the door opened. He ran off to it but it closed with a wave of Jon's hand. Robin went to the window to yell at him to get back in when he saw it. A giant avalanche was speeding towards them. Ice, snow, rock and mud were sliding down to them, and Jon was right in front of its path. He held his hand up and it stopped, but it was still coming, just temporarily blocked. He took his other hand and started the T-Ship. Raising his hand the ship started to raise, slowly, allowing the engines to defrost.
"Robin," said Raven.
He looked down to her and noticed her eyes closed. He knelt beside her.
"Robin, please forgive me of what I have done."
"What are you talking about Raven?"
"Robin, I'm projecting myself into Raven. It's me Jon."
"Jon! Get your butt back in here now."
"I'm sorry but this is the only way. I want to apologize for any trouble I caused to you, and your team."
"Jon, please no, get back in here. I don't want to lose you again."
"I'll say hi to mom and dad for you."
Robin cried.
"No, Jon."
"Good bye Robin."
"Richard."
He looked out the window to see they where up and running. He saw flames around Jon's hand. He saw him smile and then suddenly he dropped his hands. The snow took him, like it was devouring an animal. He watched as the snow fell towards the lake. Jon was dead. Robin was just sitting there, when Raven regained herself. The Titans all looked at Robin. Suddenly he cried.
"He's gone," he said. "He's gone again."
Raven went to him and held him, crying herself.
"It'll be ok," she said.
"I never got to spend anytime with him, or catch up with him," he said. "I never told him that he was forgiven for what he did. I've let my parents down again."
"No, Robin," she hissed. "Don't you ever think like that. Your parents would be proud of what you've done. They know there was nothing you could have done to stop your brother."
He just cried, uncontrollably. He'd lost his only living relative. He'd lost all of his family again. The T-Ship took off for the Tower. Once they reached it Robin went straight to his room, isolating himself from everyone. The Titans expected this and just left him alone.
Titans Lake, where the avalanche stopped….
The snow had finally stopped, only it had gone into the lake. Nobody wanted to go near it, for they knew a body would most likely be found. A chopper was heading over the lake.
"This is chopper one, we are currently surveying the lake," said the guy in the chopper.
"Good chopper one," said the police chief. "Report if anything happens."
"Got it," he said.
The chopper circled the Lake, seeing nothing.
"Hey look at that," said the man.
"What is it?" asked the police chief.
"It looks like living fire beneath the water," he said.
The water parted as a giant firebird rose out of the water. It's wings folded. It spread them wide as a human floated down. The bird then went into the human. Then the human disappeared.
Inside the Tower Robin was still sulking but had finally come out to associate with everyone. Raven was meditating at the moment and Cyborg was cooking. Terra and BB were playing video games while Starfire cheered them on. Raven was floating when suddenly her eyes snapped open. She could feel something coming from someone. She turned her head outside and sensed someone out there. She closed her eyes and took a mental scan of everything out side. She found a person, walking out of the forest away from the lake. She got closer and saw who it was, and smiled.
"Robin," she said.
He looked up at her.
"Yeah Rae," he said.
"It's going to be alright again."
"Huh?"
She shrugged and went back to meditating, a smile never leaving her face.
And there it is the end of the story. If you liked it and think there should be a sequel please tell me so can get started. So thanks to all who reviewed in the past. I hope to actually write a sequel so that's why left it open like that. Anyways R&R and I'll write again soon.
