Disclaimer: Do not own the TT. Can't think of anything else to write…

Neonian:You're welcome! I did not want to lose a reader who thought that my story had potential. Besides, you're right. There are people out there who do not like the stories that have conversations with the stars. So in a way, I wrote this version for you! Now to answer all of your reviews: #1) Thanks for the spell check on BO STAFF! #2) Yes, Slade is telling the truth. Anyone can find out anything through the internet these days! #3) I'll try to keep my author notes to a minimum #4) I did use that movie (The Return of the Joker) I just couldn't think of the name! #5) Thanks for all the clear-ups on Tim Drake and Richard Grayson. I did not know that! THANKS! #6) Yes I am just writing out of my own head. This plot just came to me one day when I had really bad writer's block! #7) I intended to write this story with the Rob Rae pairing. #8) They (the TT) don't get to fight Trigon in Raven's mind--the battle will take place in Jump City. #9) Raven was unconscious for a while. I don't know exactly how long though… #10) BB is siding with Raven and Starfire, NOT CYBORG! #11) I did not try to gloss things over in "Starfire's Return". That was just the way I write. Sorry! #12) Robin has gone insane. The Joker in his mind has taken over. I guess Slade sort of activated his insanity. #13) I borrowed Terri from the future. #14) Robin killed the cab driver randomly. #15) I don't know exactly what Raven has been able to see in Robin's mind. That is a work in progress!

CHAPTER 9:

He's Alive?

It had seemed easy at first. Chasing Robin through the streets of Gotham, considering Raven and Starfire could fly and he could not. However, they had soon lost track Robin. Then again, Robin was resourceful when he needed to be. I guess the manic mind control has learned to use Robin's resourcefulness…Raven thought to herself as she and Starfire split up to begin combing the city by air in order to relocate Robin.

"We must find Robin before---" Starfire had said. Raven agreed and then suggested that they split up. They could find him faster that way. The two girls would stay in contact through their resurrected Titan's communicators.

Raven's thoughts were interrupted by a shrill ringing from the device. "Yes?" Raven was surprised to see the face of Cyborg staring stolidly back at her from the tiny screen.

"Rae, Where are you!"

"In Gotham City."

"Gotham City! Rae, you and Star need to get back here now!"

"Why? We're following Robin! We can't turn back now!"

"RAE! Trigon is almost through the portal! You have to come back now!------- Rae?" Raven did not answer. She had been grabbed from the air by none other than…Batman?

Raven: "Let go of me! Who are you?"

Cyborg's voice from communicator: "Raven! What the—"

Terri: "I'm Batman."

Raven: "Wha--- But you're supposed to be---

Terri: "It's a long story."

Batman landed on a nearby roof and placed Raven on her feet.

Raven: "But I was told that you were---dead?"

Terri: "I'm the one who should be asking the questions."

Raven didn't really trust this guy who said he was Batman. How did she know who or what he was? Skeptically, Raven said, "Ask away."

Terri: "Who are you and what brings you to Gotham City?"

Raven: "I don't think I should tell you."

Terri's eyes narrowed at this response and said, "I have other ways to make you talk."

Raven: "Am I supposed to feel threatened? I'm looking for a friend."

Terri: "You still haven't answered my other question."

Raven: "Raven. And you are?"

Terri skipped answering this question and asked, "What sort of friend?"

Raven: "Robin."

Terri's eyes widened at this. Alfred had told him that Robin had left Gotham after something happened between him and Batman. Alfred wouldn't say what though. "Why? He's not here in Gotham, if that's what you think. And why are you looking for him?"

Raven rolled her eyes and pulled her hood down, much to Terri's surprise. "He has gone insane. I traced his mind here to Gotham City."

Terri didn't know what to say to this, except for, "What?" He knew this woman, Raven, was capable of flight, but reading minds? "So Robin is still alive?"

"Yes, and he's running loose in the streets of Gotham." Raven was getting tired of explaining everything to this guy who claimed to be Batman. She knew full well that Batman was dead. Robin had killed him a long time ago! "Have you seen him?"

Terri thought this over quickly in his mind. Except for the pictures Alfred had shown him at Wayne Manor, he had never even met Robin. Let alone spoken to the Boy Wonder. Wait a minute! What about the guy who shot the cab driver?

"Have you seen him or not!" Raven was getting impatient. This idiot didn't know what he was talking about.

"Is he wearing a long trench coat and a matching hat?"

Raven, surprised at this question, narrowed her eyes and answered, "Yes?"

"Then, yes. I have seen him. As a matter of fact, I'm chasing him too."
