You brought me down

AN-YAY! Me back with the fourth chapter, I think. I no know! I'm sorry for the very long update. Anyway, Robin's reason for dying will be said in this chapter since I know you've been dying to know. LOL, let me shut up so you can read.

Disclaimer I do not own the Teen Titans.

--------------------Teen Titans--------------------

Beast Boy ran in the park like a little kid. He immediately started climbing a tree and hanging upside down. Raven was under the tree reading and blocked herself with a force field so when Beast Boy fell, and it was bound to happen, she wouldn't get interrupted. Cyborg had his football with him and threw it at Beast Boy, causing him to fall over Raven's force field and land on the ground. He started to die laughing as Beast Boy chased him.

Starfire chose to stay by herself. She walked over to the swings and started to push herself. She had a smile on her face, believe it or not. She felt like Robin was with her. She looked up as all the Titans rushed to her.

"Starfire! What's wrong!?" Beast Boy said ecstatically. Raven growled and popped him upside the head. Starfire tilted her head in confusion.

"I do not understand what friend Beast Boy is asking," Starfire replied, confused. Raven smiled and sat in the swing next to her. She started to push herself.

"Beast Boy's just surprised that you're smiling. We all are," she replied. Starfire continued to stare in confusion as Cyborg leaned against the poles and Beast Boy hung upside down on the top.

"So, I cannot smile?" she asked, naively. Cyborg chuckled and shook his head.

"That's not what we're saying. It's just, you've been so upset since Robin's death and now, you're smiling!" he replied, happily. Beast Boy changed into a monkey and hung from the top bar from his tail. He exchanges looks at both girls.

" Hey, I know. Who's up for a little FOOZE - BALL?!" he yelled. He flipped and landed on one knee, shaking his arms out excitedly. Raven glared but Starfire and Cyborg ran with excitement. Beast Boy followed as Raven gloomed behind them.

Beast Boy and Cyborg against Raven and Starfire. This would be a great game! Or not.

Cyborg hiked and Beast Boy flew, literally, down the field. Raven used a force field to stop him as Starfire caught the ball and went toward their touchdown. Cyborg shot a blast from his sonic cannon at her. It hit her in the chest as the ball flew up. Starfire somehow went into an unconscious state.

"Uh, sir? Can you please hurry? I want to get this to her ASAP," Robin replied, anxiously. The jewel shop manager glared at Robin as he engraved the last few words. He placed a pink diamond in the middle of the heart and put it in a small, hot pink box. He then handed it over to Robin with a smudge impression on his face.

"I hope whoever this person you want to give it to doesn't mind your impatience," replied the old man. Robin quickly chuckled and paid the guy before running out. He felt so great. For once he wasn't thinking about Slade or any case. He felt butterflies in his stomach as he ran as fast as he could. He couldn't help but take a look at it.

The necklace was just so sightly. Starfire was sure to like it. Robin smiled as he closed the box and put it in his pocket. Once again, he was dressed up in something other than his usual attire.

He looked like a normal teenager. Baggy jeans, Wayne Enterprises advertising shirt, and his regular steeled toe boot. He had a pair of dark shades on and his hair down. He didn't want any villains to recognize him. The last thing the Boy Wonder wanted was for something to happen that would get in his way of confessing to Starfire.

As a matter of fact, he had the day planned out. He told Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg exactly what he had planned to do. No one said anything to Starfire about it; with the exception of Beast Boy. Raven handled it personally by hanging him above Titans Tower by his underwear. Yes, it was handled. That day, the Titans, not including Robin and Starfire, went to the mall so the two lovebirds could get closer.

On the other hand, Robin had planned to take Starfire to a beautiful lighthouse, just on the other side of Jump City. He knew she would love it. She had a fascination with being alone with him in high places. Though, he also knew she loved to watch the sunset by the ocean.

Robin just couldn't wait to get back to the tower. Just to see the look on her face, just to see her reaction. He checked his pocket and patted the box, just to feel it. No later than half a second, Robin felt an enormous pain in his chest. He landed on his back and his glasses knocked off. He opened his eyes and looked up. It was just a teenager, like himself, though the teen had an energy gun.

Male, dark brown hair, about 5'6, but there was something very strange about him, that struck Robin directly: his eyes. They were a glossy gold. They just gleamed out to where you couldn't take your eyes away. Robin squeezed his eyes and looked away. He opened them a bit and looked for his shades when the teen's cackly voice called his real name.

"Richard, I need help. Please," he begged. Robin jumped and turned around, looking at him more closely. He raised a brow and shook his head.

"I'm sorry. I can't help you. I don't know you," he answered. The boy shook his head as he squeezed his eyes shut. He pointed the weapon at Robin, his hand shaking drastically.

"Please, Richard. I-I" the boy stuttered. Suddenly there was a change in his eyes and tone. His gold eyes turned a blood red and his shaky voice got more rational. The most depraved smile crept his face. Robin became confused immediately. He moved back a little and went to grab his shades. Though the boy shot at his hand. Robin squeezed his eyes shut and pulled his hand back.

Robin got up and glared at the boy. "Just answer me one question?" said the wicked voice of the boy. Robin rose a brow as the boy pointed the weapon at him. "Would you like to die like your parents, or that girlfriend of yours?"

Robin's heart stopped. He looked at the boy, horror in his eyes. All he could mutter was, "St-Starfire!?" The boy laughed and nodded as Robin growled. Robin swiped the boy out from under his feet and ran quickly down the street. He took out the communicator and desperately tried to contact Starfire. He couldn't get an answer and knew she was really gone.

Though Starfire wasn't. She waited anxiously for him to return. She had noticed that the others had left and Robin had said he planned something special for her. Though, she got strange feeling that something was wrong. Usually, he would have contacted her by now, just so she'd know he was all right. She reached into her purse and pulled out her communicator. She opened it up and sent a message to Robin. "Robin, are you there. I am deathly worried about you," said her distressed voice. A cackly sound rang through.

"Starfire! Is that you?! Oh my god!" Robin's voice rang. He sounded rushed as Starfire smiled. She twirled around a bit in her evening gown.

"Yes Robin, it is I.Whom did you expect?" she asked. She heard shot from the background and the rushing of cars. People voices started yelling, Help! Help! He's down! Starfire's heart started to beat faster. She repeated, "Robin?! Please answer." Suddenly another shot was heard and she heard Robin's voice scream. She opened up the communicator, worried of what she might see. She looked and became speechless.

"No!" she screamed in horror. Tears rolled down her eyes from her view of Robin. She threw her communicator and held her face, confused on what to do. She kept saying in her mind. He's not gone. He's just hurt. She took a deep breath and rushed to throw a coat on. She flew out of Titan's tower and toward the city.

Finding Robin wasn't hard to find, seeing as people surrounded his body, along with cop cars. She flew down and made her way through the crowd. "Excuse me, please move," she repeated, trying to be polite. Nobody seemed to care as she screamed, "Move it now!" Everybody looked back and separated as Starfire rushed to his body.

He was barely hanging on. His breaths were brief and short. Starfire held his hand, tears continuing to roll down her cheek. Robin looked over at her, attempting to smile.

"Sta-Starfire . . . " he muttered. Starfire bit her bottom and shook her head.

"Robin, please save your breath." She begged. Robin finally smiled and squeezed her hand.

"I-Its ok . . . ay. I-I . . . love you," his faint voice said. His grip loosened and the paramedics rushed to him, checking his pulse.

"Ms. Starfire, he's gone," were the words Starfire dreadfully heard. Starfire whimpered and laid her head on his cold, dead body.

"Starfire! Starfire!" screamed the titans. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks as she fluttered her eyes open. She held onto Cyborgand cried on his shoulder. Cyborg held his bulked arms around her, comforting her. Raven looked at Beast Boy and he did the same. Both were very confused.

"It's all my fault! I should not have allowed him to go out alone . . . " Starfire cried. Cyborg slightly sighed.

"It's not your fault, Star. You tried your best," he said comforting. Starfire shook her head.

"No, I did not. I could have saved him," she cried. She pushed away from Cyborg. "I do not feel like staying here. I am going to the tower," she said, in a change of tone. She started off but Raven grabbed her arm.

"No, you're not. Not in your condition.You are going with me," she said fiercely. She drug Starfire by the arm, signaling Cyborg and Beast Boy that she had a plan.

--------------------R❧S-------------------

Raven carried Starfire to the mall. She let go of her arm and looked back at her alien friend.Starfire let out a slight growland viciously rubbed her arm. "Why did you take me to the mall of shopping?" she asked, her usual expression changed. Raven let out a sigh and put her cloak over her head.

"Listen, I didn't want to tell you but I know a way you can get Robin to come back," Raven said, waiting to hear Starfire's change in mood.

Starfire's eyes lit up and she smiled cheerfully. "You do! I cannot believe it!" she said, twirling in excitement. Raven turned around without saying a word. Starfire stopped and followed behind Raven, smiling the whole time.

"Now listen Starfire, if you don't want to do this, we can turn back around and do a little shopping?" Raven suggested. Starfire shook her head.

"No, I want to. I would rather have Robin with me than go shopping," she replied. Raven sighed again.

"Ok, but I must warn you, there's always a chance that something wrong might happen, something that might not be what your thinking," she told her. Starfire continued to smile as they both stopped.

"I do not care. As long as Robin returns, I will endure whatever the side effect might be," she replied. Raven held her hand out like she was Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune.

"Well, this is the place. Again, we can just turn back around and I'll go shopping with you," Raven said, very out of character. Starfire didn't answer and looked at some boards that looked like the games they used to play.

"Please Raven, we are to play a game to get Robin back?" she asked. A little woman, about 4'2, jumped up. She had dark black hair with a skunk streak down her hair and was very old, probably about sixty or seventy. She jumped up to be even with Starfire's face.

"Are you human? This is a Quiji board! It is not a game!" she yelled, jumping up and down. Starfire looked at Raven.

"Please, a Quiji board?" she asked. Raven sighed.

"It's supposed to bring back the spirit that you want in some form," she monotonously said. Starfire smiled and turned back toward the lady, very angered for some reason.

"May I buy this 'Quiji Board' of yours?" she asked. The lady turned.

"You expect to get it free? Cough up thirty bucks," the woman said. Starfire turned back to Raven. Before she could even ask Raven replied," She means it costs thirty dollars." Starfire smiled and reached in her pockets and pulled out a twenty and a ten. The old lady snatched it and threw the board to Starfire.

"Now get out! You're crowding my customers!" the woman yelled. Starfire looked back but no body was there. Raven didn't wait for a reply and started pushing Starfire away from the small shop.

Starfire held the board closely. "Please, friend Raven. You will help, yes?" Starfire asked. Raven nodded.

"We'll all get together tonight and do it. But don't get upset if something happens," Raven warned once more. Starfire smiled.

"I will not. It shall be a success. I know it."
