The glum Tamaranean floated into her room, thoughts of Robin spinning through her head. A piece paper lying near her open window caught her attention.

Starfire,

I need to see you. I've gotten away from Slade, but I don't know for how long. Please come see me, I'm in an old warehouse on the docks, I miss you so much. Please don't tell the others, if all of you come it might seem suspicious. He has cameras in the Tower.

Love,

Robin

"Robin," Starfire said quietly and flew out her window towards the docks.

"Perfect," Slade smirked as he observed the monitors and saw Starfire leave the tower alone. "What an apprentice he has made," he laughed, began listening contently to Mozart's Requiem, and sat back to watch the show.

"ROBIN!" Starfire shouted happily when she entered the warehouse.

"Starfire!" Robin gasped out in phony relief and rushed to her, embracing her tightly.

"I've missed you so much Robin," she cried, too preoccupied to notice Robin pull out a long, wicked looking blade.

He pulled back a little and smiled. "You were always too trusting," he laughed and before she could reply he shoved the blade home. To silence her scream he kissed her.

"Robin," she choked out and fell to the floor when he released her.

Robin knelt next to her dying body and held her chin so he could watch her eyes die.

Slowly the spark in her emerald eyes faded and her mouth went slack.

Laughing he lit her body ablaze as Slade had instructed him, but not before he removed her head for a later purpose. Slipping the head into a bag he stood and watched the body burn into nothing.

/Very good Robin/ Slades smooth voice floated over his earpiece along with the faint sounds of Mozart's Requiem. /Much better than I expected. Come back and collect your…reward/

Robin smirked and reminded himself to bring a stereo next time. Mozart's Requiem went so well with executions.
