Wow, chapter five, I hope you like it. Oh, and in case you forgot, I don't own Teen Titans.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
It had been raining the last three days, and this day looked to be no exception. The rains hit hard against the windows in the main room of Titans Tower where a lone figure sat in the darkness. Robin hadn't been able to sleep that night, something about the rain. It wasn't that he didn't like the rain, he happened to like it, but this rain seemed to fill his mind with thoughts that would allow him no rest. Who is behind that mask, and how does he know so much about me? Why does his fighting style seem so familiar, why does he sound like someone I know? Who is Len, and how am I going to stop him? Robin's thoughts had been going in circles for the past hour, he wasn't making any progress. "God, it's like Slade all over again, but so much worse." Robin was simply speaking to the darkness, so he was very surprised to hear it talk back. "That was the last thing I ever expected to hear from you." Robin jumped nearly ten feet off the coach; Raven ignored his reaction and sat on the other end. "What is so unexpected about that?" Robin asked after he had finally calmed down enough to speak. Raven looked at him, her expression unreadable as usual, "Slade was a nightmare come to life, he was the most dangerous enemy any of us have ever faced and his mere memory almost killed you. How could someone be worse than that?" Robin looked at her for a moment, and then moved his gaze back to the windows "You have no idea just how bad this really is." Raven looked at him confused for a moment, and then her eyes widened, "He knows!" Robin closed his eyes, Oh great, she knows too. Who's next, Beast Boy! "Yes, he threatened her after we fought. I have to find a way to beat him." An uncommon look of worry crossed Raven's face, but it was gone as soon as it had come. Raven reached out and put her hand on Robin's shoulder, "Robin, look at the things we have accomplished, that you have accomplished. We stopped doomsday from occurring, we defeated the brotherhood and you took down Slade by yourself almost a year ago, we can handle this guy." Robin sat silently for awhile, she was right, they had done those things, maybe they could handle this. "Thanks Raven, I'll keep that in mind." With that Robin decided that he had been up late enough and bid Raven a goodnight as he went to his room.
The first restful sleep in weeks was suddenly interrupted by the blaring of the perimeter alarm going off. Robin shot up in his bed and grabbed his communicator. "Report!" Cyborg's voice came in response, "looks like Len found a way to get his robots onto the island, they're trying to break in." Crap, why didn't the alarms go off sooner! Robin got out of bed and grabbed his old training uniform and his Bo staff. I don't have time to get changed, but if it's just the robots this should be enough. With that Robin ran to join the others in the front lobby of the tower. Everyone except Beast boy was already down in the lobby by the time Robin got there; Beast Boy stumbled down the stairs half awake a minute later. As Robin came into the lobby he could hear a loud banging on the door from what sounded to be about twenty pairs of hands. "Well that doesn't sound good, Cyborg, how did they get on the island without the alarm tripping sooner?" Cyborg checked a readout on his arm, "Don't know man, looks like they must have had some high tech jamming equipment or something." Robin looked around to make sure the other were ready, "Titans, go!" and Robin pushed the button that opened the door.
Robin got his first glance of what they were up against, and his guess had been wrong. There were not twenty of the robots outside; the number appeared to be closer to fifty. Aw crap, this is gonna be a long night. Before the robots could react fully to the door being opened the titans were in motion. Raven and Starfire had taken to the air and were blasting energy bolts and throwing chairs at the rear lines of the Robots while Cyborg fired his sonic cannon from the ground. Beast Boy, having woken up the rest of the way, had turned into a gorilla and was smashing through the robots ranks one by one. Robin, after opening the door, had pulled a leaping charge and brought his staff down on the head of the nearest robot causing it to bust into a shower of sparks on impact. Turning from the destroyed husk Robin launched a flying elbow into the face of another while simultaneously kicking out at the chest of a third robot. Several of the robots, all of which looked very similar to Len but without the cape, were armed with various weapons ranging from simple clubs to what looked like high tech lasers. Those lasers were now aimed towards Starfire. Robin saw this and was filled with fury, how dare they shoot at Starfire, his Starfire. His rage began to grow as he charged the robots with almost inhuman speed. Nothing would stop him from protecting Starfire; nothing would get in his way. As he moved closer a robot moved to block his path, without even slowing down Robin flipped into the air over the robot and delivered a kick to the back of its head that knocked it flat on the ground. Without even looking to see Robin ran on. The laser blasts were getting closer to hitting Starfire with every shot; it was only a matter of time before she got hit. A moment later Robin was upon the laser armed drones with a fury like none had ever seen. He took out the first with a swipe from his staff; it was down before it ever saw him. The other drones saw this and turned their lasers on Robin, but he didn't care, they would pay for trying to hurt Starfire. With a scream of Primal Fury Robin charged in, he flung his staff at a drone out of his reach and pierced its head while the other drones moved in to surround him. Robin looked to see he was surrounded by seven of the robots, and they were closing in; big mistake. Robin let his fury take control and before they could even register that Robin had moved three of them were down from a sweeping kick to their heads. The other four robots saw this and spread out so they could not all be hit with one move. One of the four moved back and took out the laser it had been using earlier. Robin charged one of the robots and slammed a punch right through its midsection. Without a moments hesitation Robin ran up the body and used it as a launch point to land on the shoulders of the next bot. Robin grabbed the robots' head with his knees and did a back flip slamming the bots head into the ground upon landing. The third robot had used this time to get behind Robin and grab him in a headlock. Robin sent an elbow into the robot's side and turned as its grip loosened, with a quick kick that robot, like the others, lay in pieces. One left, Robin turned to face the drone that had pulled out his laser. Robin's eyes widened as he realized that there was no way he could dodge the blast that was about to come, he was going to be hit no matter what. Robin threw his fears away and charged the robot. Just before the robot was about to fire it was suddenly ripped in half at the waist. Robin stopped in his tracks, he looked closer and saw that Starfire had landed on the ground and tore the robot to pieces. Never before had he seen her this angry, her eyes glowed a brighter green than usual and her face was twisted into what could only be described as a snarl. Wow, she is pissed. Throwing the two pieces of the robot aside Starfire looked at Robin and her face instantly turned from snarl to smile. Robin looked around, all the robots had been destroyed and the others were running towards him.
"Dude, you alright?" Beast Boy shouted as they approached Robin. Robin walked over and retrieved his staff from the fallen robot's head. "I'm fine, thanks to Starfire." Starfire smiled, but said nothing. Robin looked around once more to make sure that all the robots were down, once he was satisfied he turned back to the team. "Let's get inside; we need to get some sleep." Nobody even thought about arguing with him and together they went up to the common room. When they got their Beast Boy said a very groggy goodnight and headed straight for his room without another word. Raven pulled Starfire aside and spoke to her for a few moments and then the pair of them bid Robin and Cyborg goodnight and headed off down the hallway. Cyborg turned to Robin, "You sure you're alright, I mean you were acting pretty strange during that fight." Robin looked up at Cyborg "I'm fine, and what do you mean strange?" Cyborg's face was completely serious. "Well for one, I don't think I've ever seen you fight like that, you're good man, but that was just amazing." Robin felt a grin spread across his lips, Cyborg saw this and continued. "Don't you go getting cocky, you were good, but you were also reckless, if it wasn't for Starfire you could've been killed." The grin disappeared as quickly as it had come, "I know, I'll be more careful next time. Goodnight Cy." With that Robin turned and headed towards his room. I will be more careful, I'm not going to let anything get in the way of me telling her, not even death.
