Walk on Water

Chapter 4: Dream

"Me? But wait how is that possible? You said that my mother was looking for me. So what's going on?" Robin said, puzzled none the less.

"Your mother, Laine, had an older sister. Before she died she requested the baby's custody goes to her older sister, Rine. Now, as I said before, I don't know your name, only your mom Laine does. And well...he does to" Slade said.

"So...if I'm related to Diablos does that mean I'll become him? Why do I have to fight him? Shouldn't I be alive for me to take the crown?" Robin said, turning towards Slade.

"Only Queen Rine knows the answers to those questions. Now come, it's time you met your mother." Slade said, turning and motioning Robin to follow.

"She's not my real mother..." Robin said and followed him.

"Queen, here he is, Robin." Slade said and pushed Robin to go in front of him.

"Robin? You look so much like your father...Guard 461 did you tell him?" She said. She was tall, had long red hair that was up on top of her head, and a long gown that looked like it was from a fairy tale.

"Yes, and Mam, it's Slade" Slade said bowing down to the queen.

"Yes I know. Now to show you where you will be staying," The queen turned to Robin "You have a private room. Now guards take him to the suite." Then the queen turned to Slade and seemed to wait until Robin was to far away to hear what she was saying. Then Robin went with the guards to the "suite".

"Your room, sire" The guard said and pushed the door open. Robin looked around the room. In it lie pictures of him from newspapers, books, and other things. He fell down onto the bed. It felt like months since he had a good nights rest and fell right to sleep.

When Robin slept he had the strangest dream. It was a nightmare, more like it. In it Raven was standing in the middle of Azerath calling out his name.

"Robin? Robin!" She kept calling out. She looked scared.

"Robin! Save Me!" She called. Then all of a sudden Diablos rose up from behind her.

"MY SON IS DEAD" Diablos yelled and then flung his hand down and hit Raven hard. There was blood flowing out of her. She was crying. Then she fell to the ground.

Robin woke up shocked. Then he got up and looked out the window. It was morning, and the only way Robin could tell was buy the cooks were up and preparing breakfast. The outside world looked the same as it did before.

"Raven, be safe" Robin then heard a knock on his door. He went over and opened it and there stood Slade.

"Slade? What's going-" Robin started.

"Diablos" Slade interrupted. Then he went over to the window and pointed outside. There stood the giant demon. He looked over at his eyes, they were even duller than the last time he checked. Slade looked at him.

"Your sweating. Did you dream something up?" Slade said turning to him.

"...Raven...dying" Robin said, then he turned to Slade. "Can I bring Raven here? I could use all the help I could get."

"Raven is dead." Slade said. Then Robin looked over to him.

"DEAD? TAKE ME THERE NOW!" Robin said and grabbed his shirt. Then Slade, scared about something Robin was going to do, lead him to the place they came in from.

Robin started running as soon as he got to Azerath. He then saw a huge fire up ahead. Robin ran up to it and then stopped. There stood the T-ship, crashed, totaled, and on fire. Then Robin looked over from the T-ship and saw three lifeless bodies lying there. He ran over to them. Starfire (A/N: Yay!), Beastboy, and Cyborg were dead.

"No!" Robin said and fell to the ground. Then Slade walked up behind him.

"I'm sorry you had to see this." Slade said.

"Where's Raven?" Robin mumbled.

"What?"

"RAVEN! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!" Robin said grabbing Slade by the neck again then Robin heard his name.

"ROBIN? ROBIN!" He heard, it was Raven.

"RAVEN!" He yelled back.

"ROBIN! SAVE ME!" Then Robin found her in the middle of Azerath, just like he dreamt it.

Then Diablos rose up behind her.

"MY SON IS DEAD!" He yelled and then hit Raven. Hard.

"RAVEN!" Robin said then she fell to the ground. Robin ran to her. Diablos was going down on a finishing strike when Robin stepped in front of her and he got hit himself. Robin felt his shoulder begin to bleed. He looked up at Diablos. Diablos started stepping back.

"It can't be! I killed you!" Diablos yelled down at him. In comparison, it was like a whale looking down at an ant.

"You killed Laine! Not me!" Robin yelled up at the colossal demon. Then Diablos turned away, providing a perfect time to get Raven to safety. He called to Slade to open the portal and started running. They went threw the portal in safety.

Robin carried Raven with him all the way to the palace, which was an hour long walk. So that was pretty long. He had put his cape on her to stop the bleeding. When they got back to the Palace the doctor looked over.

"She's in a coma...a very serious coma. It will take the next few days to tell if she'll make it. I hope she's okay. And now for that shoulder." The doctor said. Robin looked worried for Raven. He held an ice pack to his shoulder.

"No, spend all your time on Raven, it's just a scratch" he said, even though sometimes it hurt so bad he'd want to die. He looked at Raven, maybe she was just healing herself in her sleep.

That night, Robin couldn't sleep. He crept down to the hospital wing and sat with Raven.

"Raven, I know you can't hear me, but just act like you are. I know I never told you this but I am from the future, I never knew about it until now. I hope your okay. I just want this all to be over. I feel like I am all alone in this world." Then Robin leaned over and grabbed her hand. "I hope it's not true. I also think I can't live here without you. I'd be all alone for ever. I never told any one this, but I feel like you're my only friend in the Titans. I think that sometimes I like you more than a friend. But I can't love anyone. I'm a leader, not a hopeless romantic! And I can't stand to think I may be someday. I just want everything to be like it was before the Titans had to fight. Just be friends, for all life. I just want everything to be that clear." he said, turning away. Then he felt someone squeeze his hand. He looked down, Raven was smiling. She was semi-awake.
