Chapter 4

"So what, you're saying is that we need to get hold of that stupid freaky mirror Raven has then?" Beast Boy said, finally catching onto what Robin was saying.

"Yes." The fearless and now fearful leader said.

"Tell me why again?" the grass stain asked.

Robin heaved an exasperated sigh, Beast Boy's idiocy starting to rattle his nerves. "We need the mirror to get into her mind. If we can manipulate her from the inside, the most fragile part of her mind, her emotions, we can secure her to our side."

"I dunno man. I mean, Raven's a lot stronger than she was say a few years ago. She'll just resist." Cyborg said.

"Not if we trick her." Robin said.

"How?" Beast Boy asked.

"We'll just have to play to her weaknesses."

"Which are…"

"Me."

Beast Boy looked at the masked bird with a confused expression.

"Look," Beast Boy finally said after a long pause of staring at their leader for an eternity, "I know you think that you're the key to everything and all…" a vein in Robin's head began to throb with annoyance, "but I really don't see how you're the key to Raven."

Robin let out an aggravated sigh and took a deep breath, annoyed at the fact he had to explain something so obvious. "Like this; you two have been inside her mind and thought Trigon bla bla bla before and you'd think this gave you the advantage but it doesn't. You see, although you were also good friends with Raven when we were teens and you had a special bond concerning that matter, I had and still have in a way the strongest bond with her. I know everything about her, things which have never been told to anyone simply out of protection for herself and others, but I know, one because I was the leader of the Teen Titans so it was my duty to be informed about everything concerning the Titan's pasts, but two, because she trusted me. Trusted me with anything and although she trusted all of us titans, it was me whom she lay complete and utter trust in over all matters.

Now if I'm right, which I most probably am," Beast Boy and Cyborg rolled their eyes, or in Cyborg's case, eye, at this, "They'll be that stupid saintly part of me remaining in her mind. Although she has Starfire, and now Terra to talk to about any concerns, she still feels as though she trusts me, or the old me, the most and so an illusion or a fragment of my old self will be within her mind, just so she can go and talk to me about stuff and that saintly me will offer advise if needed."

"So how are you gonna trick her into thinking that you are the old you? I mean surely the old you fragment will appear as soon as you enter her mind and will warn Raven that you are there." Cyborg asked.

"Luckily I still have one of those old uniforms which can stretch so I'll wear that. From what I gather though, as soon as I appear, the fragment of me will disappear as long as I am there as there will be no need for him as the real me will be there."

"So when are we doing this?" Beast Boy asked.

"Tonight." Robin stated.

"But tonight's the big rally speechy thing!" Beast Boy flailed.

"Exactly. That team is surely gonna try something, like disrupt it, but we'll have to do it mid battle, when Raven is alone and the other's are occupied with other things such as fighting and 'saving people'."

"This is stupid Raven. They're gonna be putting extra watches over it knowing that we might try something." Bumblebee protested.

"Yea, but unless we do something when they're all gathered, we're never gonna get anywhere to defeating Slade." Raven said, standing up and placing her hands firmly on the table.

"Raven's right. We need to do this, just to prove to those which are still fighting his regime that we're not dead and haven't given up." Starfire said.

"If there's nothing else then we need to get moving. The rally begins in an hour so that only gives us a short amount of time to get positioned."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The worst thing about these stupid little rallies was that there were actually quite a lot of people who were in favour of Slade and his dictatorship ways and how many people had, via force, been brain washed into thinking that the way in which Slade now ran most of the world was for the best. It just made Raven's stomach sick. For all the amount of stress, anger, depression and so on she had had to encounter when the threat of her father had invaded their world, well really it was all for nothing as that same threat now lay in Slade. This time however, things were much worse, as although they now had Terra, and fair enough her and Starfire had the support of Bumblebee, Kid Flash, Jinx and Red X, it wasn't the same as having Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy behind them. But things had to be done, and this was the best force that they had, so all they could do was try to do.

Starfire was positioned with Terra on one of the buildings opposite Slade's stand, Bumblebee, Jinx and Flash spread between the alley ways surrounding the crowd while Raven and Red X worked through the crowd, in cogneto of course. X had taken his 'X' shaped eye mask so as to not draw attention to himself, it hidden however in his jacket pocket for when the battle commenced. Raven had on a black hooded jacket, black orange and grey being the only colours which Slade had allowed in 'his' key city, so Black was the obvious choice for her if she wanted to remain hidden. She had the hood up so as to not draw attention to her dark purple hair and charka that was placed firmly on her forehead. She could only hope that it was enough to remain hidden from Robin, the one she feared most would be keeping a hawk's eye on the crowd for any signs of them, especially her.

"Faithful people of Jump City. We are here today, united for the better which is the world we now live in. However," Slade's voice boomed out from the loudspeakers surrounding the main crowd, "there are still those which resist us, everywhere, and they must be stopped. There are even some of them amongst us here today." Starfire and Terra looked at each other, worry screening their faces as the thought of them being discovered crossed their minds. Jinx, Bumblebee and Flash each pinned themselves to the shadows that clung to the alley way walls while Red X stopped dead n his tracks. Raven simply ignored it, for if they had been discovered, there was little to be done about it.

"They stand among us, mocking the society of which we live in and I rule over." Slade lifted up his arms and spotlights fell on certain parts of the crowd, obviously pointing out those who were supposedly 'resisting' Slade's ways. Really it was just a chance for Slade to have a little entertainment and re-enforce the fear which he drover through everyone's hearts and bodies. Raven was caught just on the edge of one of the spotlights which had fallen over a group of people near her. She however managed to stand quickly to the side mere moments after it had shone near her. Robin, who was standing on Slade's stage with him, had however spotted her. How could he not? He was so obsessed with the girl that it was a surprise that he had not spotted her sooner.

Slade bots immediately began to pour through the crowd towards those which the spotlight had fallen on. Some of the spotlighted groups were actually teenagers, youthful people who had done petty anti Slade vandalism and had been a tad rebellious. The grabbed the teens and other unfortunate people by the arms and dragged them off. Those which had tried to resist had their necks broken there on the spot. This made Starfire turn away while Terra just stared hard and angry into space.

Robin was like a dart, skimming and hurting anyone that got in his way.

She was within grasp, but she felt his presence and moved quick, not caring if Slade saw her for Robin already had. He was too quick for her however and grabbed her just as she had tried to phase away, so he phased away with her.

They ended up in an alley where he immediately smashed her against a wall. "Now just hold still Raven my love and this won't hurt one bit" Robin said and put his hand under her jacket and top and on her stomach where he pushed in.
