"Do you promise to come home and leave your friends behind?"

"I promise."


Robin's POV:

I couldn't believe it. No, I wouldn't believe it. I had lived with my parent's killer for most of my life and I didn't even know. And no one even told me.

Part of my mind was yelling, "It's a lie! It's a lie!" but I told it to shut up.

"Slade, you lying Son of a Bitch!" Rocco yelled. "I've supported you for as long as I can remember and now you're selling me out!"

"It makes you angry, doesn't it Robin?" Slade asked. "Angry enough to want revenge?"

I was very angry and nothing, not even my friends or my parents, mattered. The only thing that mattered was me killing my parent's killer.

"You killed them!" I shouted.

I ran at Rocco and I jumped at him. I tackled him to the ground and I was trying to bite him. Rocco kicked me off of him and I flew in the air. I landed on my paws and Rocco jumped on me. He pinned me to the ground and he was getting angry.

"I didn't kill you parents you little shit!" he yelled.

"You liar!"

I scratched Rocco across the face and he fell off of me. I jumped on his vulnerable back and I clamped my jaws onto his neck. He was trying to get me off, but I held on.

"Robin, I didn't kill them!" Rocco shouted. "Slade's lying to you!"

I was blinded by rage and I wasn't listening. Rocco rolled over and he crushed me under his weight. I pushed him off with my back paws and he fell to the ground in front of me. As I jumped at him, Rocco stood up and he started running. I ran after him and I could barely make out Starfire and my friends yells.

Rocco ran behind a cliff and I stopped. I was growling and I was searching for him. Before I knew what was happening, someone jumped me from above and he tackled me to the ground. He grabbed my neck with his jaws and I tried getting him off.

"Get off of me!" I shouted.

I rammed the wolf on top of me into the cliff and I heard a sickening crack. The wolf went limp and he released his hold on my neck. I turned around and Rocco was lying next to the cliff and he was bleeding.

"Robin!"

I ignored Starfire and I said, "How could I have been so stupid? You killed my parents and no one even told me."

"I… didn't kill them… Robin," Rocco said sounding exhausted. "Was… it really worth… killing… me? Was it… worth it?"

My face slackened and I stopped growling. As Rocco went limp, his words echoed through my head.

Was it worth it?

I didn't know if it was worth it or not, but I didn't feel any better.

Is revenge worth it?

No, revenge wasn't worth it… wasn't worth this.

"Robin."

I slowly turned my head and Starfire was standing next to me.

"Star I-"

"It is okay Robin," Starfire said. "I will always be your friend, no matter what."

I looked down at Rocco and he wasn't breathing. I had my revenge, but it didn't seem enough.

"I've had my revenge, but…" I didn't know what to say.

"Revenge is not always the answer," Starfire said. "But what is done, is done. You can't bring him back."

"He… He killed my parents, but I don't… I don't feel anything," I said sadly. "I don't-"

Tears leaked out my eyes and I looked away from Rocco and everyone that was still there.

If revenge is supposed to be sweet, why do I feel so miserable?


Slade's POV:

I walked in front of Robin and he looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Slade I-"

Another lie wouldn't hurt him.

"It's okay Robin," I said. "I should have told you from the beginning, but I just couldn't."

"He… he killed them," Robin said choking on his tears. "He killed them and-"

"Now he's dead." Robin looked down at the ground and he had his eyes shut tight. My plan worked and now Robin was coming home. "It's time to go home now Robin."

Robin looked up and he said, "But-"

"You made a promise Robin," I said cutting him off. "I told you who killed your parents and you've agreed to come home, leaving your friends behind."

Robin looked at his friends and they all looked sad.

You don't need friends Robin.


Robin's POV:

I looked at Starfire's sad face and my friends looked sad too.

"Starfire I don't want-"

"You made a promise Robin," she said. "I do not wish to let you go, but my ancestors believe in sacrifice and promises. If you promise to serve the Alpha Male in battle, you must fight. I do not wish to see us fight and I do not wish to forget about you. You will be in my heart no matter where you go."

I looked into Starfire's eyes and I felt her sadness.

"We'll miss you dude," Beast Boy said coming up beside me. "You're a great friend and we'll never forget you."

"I second that," Cyborg said.

"I never believed in friendship until I met you," Raven said. "I'll miss you Robin… we all will."

I looked at all of my friends and they looked sad and happy at the same time.

"You're the greatest friends… I've ever had," I said with more tears in my eyes.

I looked away from my friends and Slade was standing in front of me.

"Come Robin."

Slade started walking the way we came and I looked at my friends one more time. My friends looked at me proudly and I smiled.

"I'll never forget you," I whispered.

I followed Slade and we headed home.


Me: And Slade is still lying to him. Poor boy has to leave his friends and live with the real killer. This isn't the end. Nope, not by a long shot. We still have more to go. This will probably be close to 30 chapters, maybe more. Stay tuned for the next update.
