"FACE YOUR FOES"- AFTER A RUN IN WITH SLADE, ROBIN GOES OFF TO STOP THE VILLAIN ONCE AND FOR ALL.LITTLE DOES HE KNOWS HIS ACTIONS NOT ONLY PUTS HIMSELF IN DANGER BUT HIS FRIENDS AS WELL.
"FACE YOUR FOES" - PART 1
It was night time in Jump City. Everyone would usually be asleep at this time. Even the Titans were resting in the comfort of their rooms. All except the Boy Wonder. He sat in the living room, eyes glued to the computer screen. His elbows resting on the front part of the desk, hands folded in front of him. The only light in the room was the one coming off the screen .The only sound being made was from the rain, crashing against the window.
"What are you up to, Slade?" He said to himself.
He was doing research on Slade, yet again. And like many times before, he couldn't find out a single clue. He leaned back in his chair. When he went to Paris, Slade had said he wanted to destroy the Titans. The question Robin asked himself is what was he planning. He released the villains. Where they part of his plan? Was he going to make some sort of team? Robin didn't know. All he knew was that Slade needed to be bought to justice.
He looked over his shoulder at the alien beauty, that was on the couch. She had insisted that she help him with his research. She wasn't able to stay awake long, and soon fell asleep on the couch. Robin walked over to her sleeping form. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, careful not to wake her up. He looked down at the file that was on the floor. In it was a picture of Slade. He closed the file and put it on the table. He picked up Starfire, bridal style, and went to her room. He tucked her in bed and walked out.
Everyone was asleep but him. He decided it would be best to finish his research tomorrow. He went to his room and fell on top of his bed. On the night stand was a picture of him and his friends at Tokyo. Him and Starfire was holding hands. Cyborg had Beast Boy in a head lock, and was giving him a nugie. Raven had her hood down, and a small, rare smile was on her face. Robin looked away and reluctantly closed his eyes.
"I'm not going to let you win Slade, not this time."
It was now morning and the Titans were waking up for breakfast. Raven sat at the table, sipping her tea. Cyborg and Beast Boy were having there morning dispute.
"TOFU!"
"MEAT!"
"TOFU!"
"MEAT!"
Raven put her cup down. "Would you two shut up. You have the same pointless argument every morning."
"We wouldn't have this argument, if Cyborg would stop with all this meat!"
"Me! It's your fault we argue, you're the one trying to shove tofu down our throats!"
The two continued to argue and Starfire now walked into the room. She had a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Raven."
"What's so good about it."
"Please, have you seen Robin?'
"No."
"Oh, I shall go look for him."
Starfire flew out the room and down the halls. She went to Robin's door and knocked on it. There was no answer. If he was not here, then there was only one place he could be. She made her way to the gym, and sure enough, Robin was there. He was punching at the punching bag.
"Robin."
When he heard her voice, he stopped to turn around. "Oh, hey Star. What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you wanted to join us in the food consumption that you call breakfast."
"Sure, Star."
He toke her hand in his and they walked out the gym. They made their way into the kitchen, and it was quiet. The only sound being made was the muffle cries of Cyborg and Beast Boy. Their mouths was closed shut by dark magic, obviously done by Raven to shut them up. After much convincing from Robin and Starfire, Raven finally let them talk, and the team sat down to a nice breakfast. However, there breakfast was short lived by the ringing of the alarm through out the tower. "Trouble!"
The crime was taking place in a ware house. It didn't take long for the Titans to arrive. The enemies that stood before them was Slade's robot's. Robin didn't even command the team to start fighting, he rushed right in and began to battle. The team followed his example. Beast Boy changed into a T-Rex and knocked many down with his tail and teeth. Cyborg shot his sonic cannon. He then went to hand to hand combat. Raven chanted her words. Ware house boxes were thrown at the robots. Starfire fought using her eyebeams and starbolts.
The more robots that was taken down, the more came. Robin used his grappling hook to lift himself in the air. He let go and kicked a robot in the face. He took out his bo staff and swung it in circles. He hit robot after robot. He then threw disc, hitting five of them. Out of the corner of his eye, Robin saw a shadow figure run past.
"Slade." Robin jumped in the air and dodged a attack. He took off to follow the figure.
"Yo, Robin!" Called out Cyborg. "Where you going?"
Robin payed no attention and kept running after the figure. His chase brought him to a alley. Robin looked around. There was no one in sight. That's when a voice called out to him.
"Hello, Robin." Robin turned around to face Slade.
"Slade." Said Robin. "What are you planning?"
"What a pity, Robin. You still haven't managed to find out my plans." Robin threw a punch, which was easily ducked by Slade ."Temper, temper, Robin. If you want to find out my plans so badly, come to my base, alone."
Slade threw a smoke bomb, covering the air in a thick, grey smoke. When the smoke finally cleared, Slade was gone. Robin made his way out of the alley and back to the ware house. His team stood in the ware house, surrounded by broken Slade bot's.
"Dude, where were you!?" Yelled Beast Boy. "We had to fight, like a jillion of Slade's robots, by ourselves!"
Robin remained quiet and turned his back to the team. "I saw...Slade."
The words that came out of Robin's mouth explained why he had left in the middle of a battle. Starfire walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, in a way to comfort him.
"Robin..." He shrugged his shoulder away and started to walk away.
The Titans saw the way he acted. They would have never guessed Robin could be so cold, especially to Starfire of all people. They followed him out and headed back to the tower.
As soon as they returned to the tower, Robin locked himself up in the evidence room. He didn't say a word to any of the Titans. Starfire attempted to go and speak to him, but he harshly turned her away, leaving him alone, and a hurt Starfire alone in the hall way. The tension in the tower was so thick you could cut it with a knife. To relieve herself of any stress, Raven went to her room to mediate. Cyborg chose to work on the T-car, to keep himself busy. Beast Boy sat in his room, playing a hand held video game.
Starfire sat in her room. She gently petted Silkie on his back. She felt hurt. Robin had promised her that he would not lock himself up. That he would not become obsessive, and push his friends away. Push her away. She wondered, would Robin always be like this? Would he always push her away? These were questions, only time would tell.
He sat in the room alone. The only source of light was from a small desk lamp. Files were scattered on the desk. It was quiet. Just what he needed. He needed to be able to here his own thoughts.
' Come to my old base, alone.'
Those words played over in his head. What should he do? Slade said to come alone. Robin thought and thought. This could be his big chance to finally stop Slade. To stop the mad man that has tried countless times to destroy not only the city, but his friends as well. This was his chance. Robin stood up from his seat. He knew what he needed to do.
A message had been sent to each of the Titans on their communicators. They were surprised to see it was a message from Robin. They stopped what they were doing and went to the living room. All five Titans were now standing in the living room.
"Robin, what's the emergency?" Asked Cyborg.
"I have to tell you all something." Said Robin. "Today, when I meet up with Slade, he told me to come to his old base."
"Okay then." Said Beast Boy. "Let's go down there and kick his butt."
"I'm going. But you guys can't."
"And why not?" Asked Raven.
"He said to come alone."
"Robin, you can't be serious." Said Cyborg. "What if it's a trap?"
"This could be my only chance to stop Slade. I can't worry about 'what if's' !"
"There you go again, Robin." Said Beast Boy. "Me, me, me. Were a team!"
"And as leader of this team, it's my responsibility to capture Slade!"
"Robin, right now your not acting like a good leader." Said Raven. "You can't go after Slade alone."
Robin glared at them. "I can, and I will." He made his way to the door, his back facing the team.
"Stop."
The sound of Starfire's voice echoed through out the room. Her voice was soft, yet strong. Robin stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn around. The other Titans looked at Starfire.
"Please, Robin." Her voice was shaky, and she was near tears. "I know you want to stop Slade, but you can not do this. Not alone."
"I have to, Starfire."
"Robin... if you walk out that door... then it's o-over."
Robin's hole body went still, as did the other Titans. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. They knew what Robin wanted to do was stupid, and that he could end up hurt, or worse. Starfire was doing anything she can to make sure that didn't happen. The whole room was silent. That's when the door opened... and Robin walked out.
The tears in Starfire's eyes fell to the ground. The Titans couldn't believe what just happened.
Cyborg walked up to Starfire and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Star, -."
"P-Please, I need to be ...alone." Starfire ran out the door and to her room.
Elsewhere...
"The boy has left, just as you planned." Said a mechanical voice, which belonged to The Brain.
"Perfect. Now for the next part of my plan. Blackfire."
Blackfire approached their leader. "Yes, Slade."
"Go after Starfire." Blackfire smiled and left the room.
"And, what of the other three?" Asked Brotherblood.
"We lure them out the tower. A job that the Brotherhood of Evil, will be able to handle."
"Of course, they are just children." Said Madame Rouge.
"Do not underestimate them, or it will be our downfall." Warned Monsieur Mallah.
"Once they come out of hiding, separate the robot from the other two." Said Slade. "The honor of destroying him belongs to Brotherblood."
"And the boy?" Asked General Immortus.
"Leave him to me."
Back at the tower...
Raven sat in the living room with Cyborg. They had sent Beast Boy to go and check up on Starfire. It was now dark outside, and they were worried about their leader. That's when the alarm went off. Cyborg went to the computer to see what was happening.
"There's trouble down town." He said.
That's when Beast Boy came running into the room.
"Where's Starfire?" Asked Raven, when she saw it was just him.
"I don't know." Said Beast Boy. "She wasn't in her room."
Raven and Beast Boy looked at Cyborg, as if asking what to do next.
"We'll have to find her later, right now the city is in danger." He said. "Titans, go!"
They nodded and headed for the city.
Elsewhere...
She knew she should have told her friends that she was leaving, but she couldn't face them. She had to get out of the tower for a little while, to clear her head. Her heart felt heavy. She felt so hurt. The person she cared most about walked out on her, without a second glance. The tears fell down her face and she tried to wipe them away. She could feel herself getting lower. Her powers were slipping. Starfire had been flying over water and looked around till she spotted land. She managed to make a ruff landing. She rubbed her head and looked around. She saw walls made of rock and construction equipment. Starfire remembered this place, her and Robin had fought Cinderblock here. She sighed.' Robin'. She then heard laughing. Starfire turned around and her eyes went wide.
"Blackfire!"
"Surprised to see me, sister dear. That was some landing you had there."
Starfire tried to light up a starbolt, but it quickly faded. This was not good, her powers wasn't working. Blackfire smiled. She could tell her sister's powers were failing. She didn't know why and she didn't care. All she wanted was her revenge, and she was going to get it.
Back at the city...
Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven arrived at the scene of the crime, but no one was there. The sky was dark and the street was empty.
"It's quiet." Said Raven. "To quiet."
"The computer said there was some villains around here." Said Cyborg.
"Maybe they left." Suggested Beast Boy.
"Wrong as always, little green one."
The Titans looked up to see the source of the voice. On top of a building stood the Brotherhood of Evil. From the shadows and behind buildings came out their army. The Titans were surrounded.
Elsewhere...
Robin made his way into the old base. The base was torn and broken. Robin walked down the hallway and found himself in front of a door. He opened it and walked into the dark room.
"Come out, Slade!" Yelled Robin.
"You shouldn't be in such a rush, Robin."
The lights turned on and Slade appeared on top of a balcony.
Robin toke out his bo staff. "I'm taking you down once and for all."
Slade chuckled. "Before you fight me, Robin, you'll have to take care of them."
As if on cue, hundreds of Slade's robots appeared, along with Cinderblock, Plasmus and Overload. Robin was completely surrounded.
