Chapter 2: Breaking Apart
Robins POV
It hurts but it doesn't last it fades as the red liquid my very life begins to seep out of the fresh cut and collect in a small pool on the floor, the cut is still raw and the cool air of the room makes it sting a little but I hardly notice any more as the scars on my arms reveal that this isn't the first time and whilst each of them had been quite deep none of them had been deep enough to kill. How weak am I.
In the lounge area the rest of the Titans gathered on the sofa the atmosphere surrounding them was so thick it could have been cut through with a knife even Beastboy had a serious air about him and Starfire's sun exterior was nowhere to be seen and when these two were like this were you knew things weren't good.
"Something is seriously wrong with Robin and I don't like it." Cyborg was saying
"I agree friend Cyborg," Starfire replied "I also worry about friend Robin, lately he has been really Hak'shin."
"Yeah he's depressed too." Beastboy put in
"Is that not what just said friend Beastboy?" Star replied
"Could we get back to the problem at hand." Raven said ending the quarrel before it could even begin "Robin has been acting strange ever since his last battle with Slade. He hasn't come out of his room in nearly two weeks and to my knowledge he hasn't eaten in all that time either."
"Well he did take a serious beating, maybe his pride also seriously damaged." Beastboy suggested
"It's certainly a possibility," Cyborg replied before turning to the Gothic Titan whom was seated to his right
"Raven can you get anything through the bond you have with him?" Raven shoke her head "I've tried but each time some kind of force pushes me back, he's found someway of keeping me out."
there was a long pause which was broken by Beastboy "Well seems there's only one thing to do then."
"Yep." Cyborg said and the four of them got up and headed for Robins room
"Are you sure this a good idea?" Starfire asked "Should not we wait till friend Robin comes to us if he needs help?"
"And how likely is that going to be Star?" Cyborg replied "No we need to take action and now?"
They reached the Boy Wonders door and Cyborg pounded his fist against the door
"Hmmm Go away." came a surly and slurred groan from the other side
"Rob it us," Cyborg yelled "We need to talk."
"Fuck off." came the reply and a few seconds later a loud crash was heard the Titans looked at each other each of them wearing a panicked expression and then with a swift split second unspoken action the Titans forcfuly entered the room Cyborg and Starfire used their combined sonic cannon and starbolts to blast the door off its hinges and upon entering
the first thing that hit them was the overpowering smell of sweat and strong alcohol looking around they saw the place was a mess but Robin was nowhere in sight but what they did find was a bottle of strong liquor knocked onto the floor its content spilling out onto the carpet Beastboy picked it up and sniffed it
"Urgh, how can anyone stand to drink this stuff, the smell along is enough to knock you on your ass." Cyborg took the bottle from him and saw from the label the content was Russian Vodka then Starfire opened the closet and a small pile of empty bottles of various alcohols fell out
"Robin, the hell has happened to you?" Beastboy muttered,
walking forward to examine their find Raven's attention was diverted to the floor as she stepped in something, after examining the bottom of her shoe and finding a red substance she then knelt down for a closer inspection and found a fair sized puddle of the same substance and next to it she found a small metal object also covered in the same substance she picked it up and got back onto her feet and studied it for a few seconds then in an instants she wanted to kick herself for not recognizing it instantly it was a razor blade then that must mean the red liquid on it and her shoe must be
"Oh no." she looked around franticly and saw a trail of blood leading to the door of Robins privet bathroom.
Opening the door the group found their leader lying unconscious on the floor with a growing pool of blood coming out of his right arm
'My god Robin, what have you done?'
Raven then grabbed him and teleported them to the infirmary and were joined by the others a few seconds later.
Raven then used her powers to heal Robins wound before Cyborg hooked him up to the machines call told Starfire to get some of the donor blood from the chiller cabinet, she handed one to him he was about to connect when he noticed B- printed on it
"Star this is the wrong blood type, Robin's in O+." he yelled at her
Star jumped in fright Cyborg sighed
"Sorry I didn't mean to yell its just Robin's lost a lot of blood and if we don't replace it he might not make it."
"Here you go." Beastboy handed him the correct the correct packet and tried to explain to his alien friend that humans have different types of blood whilst Cyborg hooked it up and stuck a drip into Robins arm
"Cyborg I fear this is worse then we originally feared." Raven said in her usual tone of voice with a slight hint worry as she showed her friends the scars on the Robins arms
"Holy mother of Arnaok, who has done this to friend Robin." Starfire gasped
"I think its pretty clear that he did this to himself Star." Cyborg replied
"What, why would Robin intentionally harm himself?" Starfire asked clearly not totally willing to believe what was in front of her
"Because its better to feel pain then not feeling anything at all." came a low voice the Titans looked around but could not see anyone besides themselves.
Three days later Robin was released from the infirmary he would have been out sooner but them others had strapped him to the bed so he didn't hurt himself. He made his way towards his room only to find Raven waiting for him
"Come with me Robin." she said and took his hand before he could reply and teleported him to the living room where the others were waiting for them
"Robin we need to talk." Cyborg said
Robin glared at them but didn't say anything
"Its very clear that something has happened to you " Cyborg continued
"Ever since our last battle with Slade your behaviour has really changed, you've closed yourself off from the team and we discover that you have been partaking in alcohol and self mutilation."
Starfire approached him and was about to embrace him "Robin..." she began
"Don't touch me" he cut her off his voice cold,
she backed towards the others still staring at him shock that he'd speak to her in such a way
Raven then spoke up
"Robin, I can sense a great darkness inside of you and it has been growing over the last two weeks and I fear that if you do not let us help you that darkness will consume you." Robin stared at them for a few minutes the whole room was silent no one moved till Robin broke it
"Your all fired." he said in a monotone voice he then turned on his heals and exited the room.
