Chapter 11: "Don't scare me"

Robin was walking down the street to meet his girlfriend, Gabrielle, at the coffee shop.

"I'm glad you called," she said typing away on her laptop as he approached the table she was sitting at.

"Why so happy to see me?" he asked gloomily.

"It seems like I haven't seen you in…what's wrong?" she asked seeing his crestfallen expression.

"Gabby," he said taking her hand in his. "I'm sorry, but it's not working out for me."

Gabrielle looked at him confused. But soon, the confusion turned to sadness and anger.

"Wait! So just last week you were telling me how much you love me and now you're just…just…" she choked out.

"I'm sorry, it's just that feelings change and…."

"Who is she?"

"What?"

"Who is she? I know you wouldn't do this unless someone else was involved."

"She's….the first girl I loved," he said in realizing. Gabrielle seemed to have to pick up on his discovery by his tone. "Look I'm really so…"

"Go to her," Gabrielle told him.

"Wait, what!"

"Go to her. You know you should and I know you should…just please, make her happy. If you're doing this to me, she must be one hell of a girl. Go, run to her. Just, keep me in the loop…as a friend," she told him whipping her tears with her sleeve. Robin smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek before leaving to find Raven.

Barley two steps out the door, he heard sirens. He ran to a nearby phone booth and got into costume. He then followed the sirens to a police/gang shoot out. In the middle of all the chaos and bullets was…Raven. Her body lying in the middle of the street, she was breathing but he didn't know what damage the bullet had done.

"No…" he whispered. A bullet grazed his arm and he took off after the shooter. He slammed him to the wall and growled into his ear, "Which one of you mother fucking scum bags shot the woman in the street?"

"It…it was Snakes…" the man responded terrified.

"Which one?" he asked again.

"The one with the snake tattoo on his arm," the gang member replied trembling at Robin's viciousness.

Robin released him and the man fell to the ground in a defenseless heap. He spotted Snakes almost immediately because he was the one shooting the most carelessly.

"Snakes!" he bellowed. The man's eyes meet his and his face fell. All the color drained from his complexion and he ran. Robin threw a birdarang at his feet and he went to the ground.

"Dude, I didn't mean it. She got in the way. Tried to smooth things out…"

"I don't want to hear excuses. I want to hear your bones crush beneath my hands," Robin growled grabbing him by the neck of his shirt. Before he could so much as hit the guy, images of Raven dying in the street while he selfishly took his revenge filled his head. He tied Snakes up and kicked him to the ground. "The cops will pick you up before Tuesday hopefully."

Just the mere presence of Robin scared the gang members so badly; they all dropped their weapons and ran for it. He picked up Raven's body and got to his motorcycle. He then drove her out to their favorite hook up place, the villa that they had been the night before. Their was an infirmary inside the building for Bruce's personal use. He hooked her up to the monitors. It seemed like there was nothing he could do. She seemed to be healing herself. But he didn't know if that would work or not. He went into the adjoining room and tried to sleep.

As soon as he had started to drifted off, he heard the heart monitor hit flat line and the high pitched sound awoke him. He ran as fast as he could to her side. Sobbing, he took her in his arms.

"No! No! Don't you dare die on me! Look at me Raven, look at me!" he was sobbing at her. "Say something."

"Can't anyone get some sleep in this place, Jesus," she said opening her eyes slowly.

"What the fuck?" Robin said.

"I take myself off the heart monitor for about two seconds to go to sleep and I can't even…" but Robin cut her off by smashing his lips into hers in the most passionate kiss the world has probably recorded.

"Don't you dare scare me like again," he told her pulling away. "I thought I lost you."
