Hi people. I'm sort of tiered right now so I'm not sure what to say. I finally have the new chapter up (I have had swim practice so I couldn't write) and I hope you like it. Please read and review.

Chapter 14: Well wouldn't it be nice if I had a great title Eh?
Robin shook off the last of his spell induced drowsiness and thought. When chained to a wall in a dark cell there isn't much else to do. Except maybe scream for freedom or liberation or whateverbut he'd already tried that with no results except the appearance of a sore throat. "Alright Robin, list the facts, I can't use my arms, I have no idea where I am, I have no way of contacting the outside world. Oh and my throat REALY kills. Missed anything? Still need to erase that damn tape" with nothing left to do he gave in to the temptation and began to yell again.
"ARRRGGHAHRAIVNDAAARRRRRRRGAHAIODSFSA FSIOTRFDAFAGAGWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" The sound of his own wordless roar rebounded off the walls to pound against his ears for 10 more minutes before he finally choked and allowed his voice to die out, his head falling to rest on his chest. "Are you about done now?" a voice drawled lazily. Robins head shot up, mind on edge, eyes scanning the room for the sounds source. "Over here Boy Blunder." This time much closer. Robin turned and found himself facing Jakes head. Just his head. Smirking at him sideways from the solid wall beside him.
At this point instinct took over and the young traffic light did the only reasonable thing to do at a time like this. He shot out lightning quick and bit the exposed part of the sorcerers' neck. Jake roared and pulled back into the wall,seconds laterpulling his whole bodyout of the wall across from Robin. One hand was clutched to his neck and a thin stream of bright red blood slid between his fingers. Robin smirked at the offender and spit loudly to the side. "You need a shower" he said still smirking.
Jake glared at the teen hero and snarled an unfamiliar word. A bright green glow flowed around his palm and onto his wounded neck. Robin was rewarded with a glimpse of bright red bite marks against the bright skin before the trickle of blood flowed backwards, up, into the wound which sealed itself up with a splash of jade light. Jake visibly exhaled and pulled himself straight. He treated Robin to a venomous smile before walking over and punching him flat in the face. Robin didn't blink. Stepping back with a satisfied smile, Jake reclined on thin air " I do hope you find our accommodations to your liking Robin Sir." The last word was said with as much sarcastic maliceas is possible to put in a single syllable word. "We weren't expecting to entertain you for a while still but when opportunity knocked…well I just couldn't resist."
A vision of himself walking unprotected into the video room, with this powerful magic user he had met barely hours ago flashed into Robins mind and he suppressed a groan. "How could I have been so stupid!" He thought to himself. A sadistic grin spread across Jakes face "Yes that was rather dumb wasn't it?" Robin barred his teeth "Get. Out. Of. My. Head!" he snarled. "Make me." Jake challenged, his features unfazed. Robin closed his eyes, he was back in the manor, Bruce was beside him, the image of his namesake bird consumed his mind, it's wings spread wide.
He opened his side at the sound of Jakes growl. His hand was once more clenched over his neck, where the unmistakable imprint of birds claws where impressed into his flesh. "Got a few tricks do you" He snarled. "Well if I could beat that lovesick idiot Witch then some powerless mortal can't think to harm me." Contempt spilling into his voice. In his minds eye the image of Shar, her arm grasping Jakes , eyes fixed on him with a look of rapt adoration, surfaced. Anger coursed through him.
"How could you do that to her." he said, hands shaking, his voice deathly cold. Shar may be hopelessly annoying and unshakably dense at times but she was a good person who didn't deserve this. To have him…use…her like that. The thought of it made his blood boil. Jake didn't waste time guessing who he was talking about. "I didn't ask for her to become…infatuated…with me, how can I be blamed for something I had no control over. I simply chose not to break her heart by sending her away. If you think about it I was doing her a favor." His last words were laced with a tone of false innocence that infuriated Robin even more. "You were using her from the beginning weren't you? You needed a way to find out about her coven, where they met and when, so you just picked her up off the street and convinced her to like you. To love you. All so you could find them and take their magick. You never cared about her or how she felt! So what do you get out of this deal money, power, what was worth breaking a person for!"
When Robin finished he was panting, and sweat dripped off his forehead. His eyes blazed with rage and his hands were balled into fists that pulled at the chains that bound him. Jake clapped scornfully. "Wonderful detective word boy blunder. And with such a stirring performance too. You should get a medal. If you can't figure out the advantages of being the last practicing magick user in the area then I really have overestimated you. Magick beats technology every time and I doubt that most banks have protective amulets at the door."
"Really you shouldn't care what I do. We can't have the Titans still around after the takeover, and trust me we'll be more thorough the that little rock girl. We'll watch you die." Robin felt a chill run through his spine as he saw the dark grin fall over the sorcerers face at the last words. Pulling himself together he spoke up "You never answered my Question." Jake raised an eyebrow "About Shar" Robin filled in. Jake shrugged turning towards the wall "She is of no importance to me" He said without feeling.
Robins voice rang out coldly around the room. "A pity. It's sad to think that one day, you'll look back and realize the only person who ever liked you. The only person who ever loved you. The only person who ever cared about your miserable little life, is gone. That you are alone and you will always be alone and that nothing will ever change that."
Jake walked on into the wall without reply. Robin didn't see the stricken look grow on his face. He didn't hear him gasp for air as he reached the other side of the wall and stumble against the wall of the dark hallway. But Malchior, watching the events from a pool of still water, far away in the catacombs, saw it all. "When this is over" he mused to himself "it seems I may have to…dispose, of that one." He raked his clawed hand across the surface of the water, neatly shredding Jakes image, as thevision in the pool faded and went dark.
Ok what do you think? Personally I like it though I am not great with doing Robins character I thought it wasn't bad. Please tell me if you agree or think that I am a crazy person who needs to get out more. In other words review.
PEACE
