Hey this is my first fic on the site. Please, only nice comments.
Lurking in my shadow……
Chapter 1: The Hunt Begins
The day at Titans Tower was a gloomy one. The rain fell hard on the T-shaped tower's roof. Everyone was bored. BB and Cyborg played Gamestation all day and had nothing to do. Raven read a book she had read 3 times already. Starfire watched TV. Everyone was bored. Except for one……
There in the dark room stood the leader of the Teen Titans, Robin. Robin was occupied going over information he had on his arch nemesis. "Slade……." That is what stuck in Robin's mind for quite a long time. Last time he had seen him was when Slade helped (unbelievably) them defeat Raven's father, Trigon. Robin had contacted the Titans East several times during the past week. Every time he called he got the same response: "No Robin. Stop obsessing over Slade. He's gone." But something just didn't seem right. There was something…..still lingering about that made Robin uneasy. He felt suspicious. Really suspicious. Still…… All of a sudden, a knock came at the door. "Who is it?" "It is I, Starfire." "Come on in." The door opened. In walking came Starfire. Robin smiled when she came in. He always smiled when he saw her. (Wow……) Robin thought. Then, Robin shook his head and then hit it. (Stupid! Stop thinking about her!) "Are you okay?" Robin looked up at her. "Oh, who me? Yeah, yeah. I'm fine…." "Okay….." She looked at what he was looking at before. She figured out what it was and then came a disappointed look on her face. "Robin…. Are those files you have… on Slade?" Robin looked shocked. She figured it out. "U-uh n-no." "Robin, please. Don't lie to me." Robin looked sad looking down at the ground. "Yeah….. they are." "I thought you were done searching. Robin, Slade's gone." "I know… I just…. have a feeling…." "Robin…." She came toward him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Please. Join us. We are going to order pizza." "I'm not hungry right now." "Are you sure….?" "Positive." Starfire had another sad look on her face. "Ok……." She walked out of his room slowly. The door automatically closed after she was gone. Robin looked down at the ground. He felt miserable. He never liked it when she was sad. How couldn't you?
In the main room of Titans Tower BB and Cyborg finished up a game of Beat 'Em Up Brawlers for the Gamestation. Cyborg won by a landslide. "Oh yeah baby!" Cyborg exclaimed. "You were lucky that time," said BB in an angry tone. Starfire walked into the room. Raven sensed it. She put down her book and looked at Starfire saying, "Well?" "He will not be joining us for our pizza feast." Everyone looked at Starfire. They felt sorry for her. "Aww cheer up. Robin is just busy with his Slade thing. He'll be better tomorrow," said BB, "and besides, more pizza for us right?" Everyone looked at BB with a scary look. "Right?" Cyborg said, "I don't get it. I thought Robin was done with his Slade obsession." "Maybe… I can't tell" said Raven. "But what I do know is Robin wont be coming out for a while." "Robin…." said Starfire sadly.
Back in the dark room, Robin still researched the info he had on Slade. But in his mind he could only recall the time he barely escaped from Slade's hideout and all of the encounters after that. (Slade…… I'll get you…. I will….)
Sort of a slow chapter, but it gets better. Please review.
