chapter 16

he looked around his damp surroundings, typical...just typical. trust slade to choose a warehouse for a hide out...so predictable. his head throbbed violently but he somehow felt more free, more free to do what he wanted.

'the little voice in my head wont let me forget'

'the little voice in my head is never mislead'

'this voice is what keeps me from making a mess'

'the little voice in my head...just wont let me forget'

hillary duff

'like it?' slade asked, stepping out of the shadows. robin didnt answer 'get used to it because this is going to be your room for quite some time' 'who says im going to stay here?' 'i did' said slade, a bit annoyed this time. 'i dont think so' robin said, glaring at the man circeling him 'well i do' slade replied 'i'd rather die first' slade was not suprised at this because robin was the sucidical type 'not yet you wont. i want to make good use of you before you die' robin just glared at him and said nothing. slade smiled, this was just the beginning...

beastboy

'andiwaslikegrrandhewaslikegrrandwebothfoughtandthenspeedyshoweduphewaslikebeastboy!andiwaslikeowwandsladewaslikeMUHAHAHAH-' 'beastboy' he was interupted as raven cut in 'next time before you want to tell a story, make sense first'

speedy laughed and beastboy blushed slightly. 'ok tell me again...slowly this time' sparks said while putting the cup on the coffee table. beastboy sighed 'all right guys, this is what happened...i was sipping a soda,minding my own business when i walked into robin's room and saw slade standing there. i yelled for speedy and got punched in the stomach instead..i was down-' 'and then i came in and was going to hit slade when robin hit me...can you believe robin hit me!...anyway i didnt hit back because i knew that he was a freind and he must have a logical explaination for this but no, he beat me up good...the strange part is that he sometimes warned me before hitting me..anyway when slade told him to finish me off, robin hesitated and slade got angry...he pulled a sphere thingy from his pocket and threw it into the ground, smoke filled the room and that guy took robin and jumped from the room-' everyone gasped 'yea and thats when i came into the picture' beastboy interrupted 'i looked around and saw smoke so i turned into a bird and blew it away speedy told me to go after slade so i flew out the window. i saw slade tying robin to a tree in the forest and then he disappeared and when i flew down to help him. he was going to say something when slade knocked me down and was going to crush me under his weight but was thrown aside when robin kicked him. he then helped me up against the tree and was going to beat the living daylights out of slade when slade pressed a button and he fell forwards...i really dont know what happened so i morphed into a tiger but slade beat me unconcious' 'and then' speedy completed 'i came up and was going to shoot slade but he grabbed the poor guy in a head lock and escaped...i couldnt hit him because i could have hit robin instead! i couldnt take the risk...anyway beastboy woke up and flew us here and thats when you guys showed up'

both of them finished. starfire had tears in her eyes and sparks was looking at her nervously raven and cyborg were staring at both of them 'what?' asked beast boy 'you said you wanted the details'. raven;s face turned to normal 'and you didnt contact us why?' 'i didnt think of that...' beastboy's voice trailed off. now he was embaressed

'ok..that means we will have to search Gotham...thoroughly' said cyborg 'what if hes gone back to jump city?' raven asked 'he wont be able to travel that fast' sparks answered 'besides, i have patrol duty tonight, ill look everywhere' 'ill come with you' speedy said cheerfully 'good, ill go around in the car and starfire can come with me, raven and beastboy can check the other side, that way we'll save up time'

'so...when do we start?' beastboy asked meekly as everyone got up 'right now' both sparks and cyborg answered and beastboy turned into a hawk and followed raven out the window, hoping that robin was allright

starfire

she stared out the window and sighed...she didnt want robin in such pain, she was worried sick over him, why couldnt slade just leave him alone?

'you allright star?' cyborg asked from the next seat and looked at her with a concerned expression on his face. 'i am fine freind' she answered but cyborg was not satisfied, his frown deepened. starfire didnt look at him but she could feel him staring at her

'actually...i am not fine' she said with tears forming in her eyes as she thought of robin again 'i am worried about him. he has been kidnapped by that-that horrible man!' she said and broke into tears. 'i know star, im worried about him too' said cyborg as he looked at the road again 'but i know hes allright' he added starfire gazed at him suprisingly how could he know? he was not gifted with telekenisis like raven. 'how freind cyborg? is it some kind of abilty of yours or is there a way to tell how he is at the moment? can you teach me?'

cyborg laughed softly 'its no power star... and its a very easy way too' 'please tell me freind' starfire said, on the edge of her seat and staring longingly at cyborg. 'trust' cyborg answered starfire blinked...trust? 'i trust him star, hes going to be fine...hes robin for petes sake!...listen...you have got to trust him, he will be fine' now starfire understood. whenever he was in danger she would always come to rescue him, not knowing that he needed her or not, she just had to be there, to help him...she was not intruding like this was she?

she looked at cyborg again... was he suggesting that she should stop worrying about robin? or was he merely saying that she should beleive in him? she sat back in her seat and gazed out the window...she was not sure what to do now.

'any sign of him yet?' batman asked green lantern and hawk girl as they flew in the watch tower.

'no' green lantern answered, not looking in batman's eyes 'sorry batman' hawk girl said and both of them flew to superman. batman punched the wall in anger...this wasent working...they werent looking in the right places...what if richard was hurt?...what if he was calling for help and their was nobody there to help him?...that was his post, to be the father

wonderwoman placed her hand on his shoulder 'dont worry batman, we'll find him' batman shrugged away 'i should be out there looking for him...' his voice trailed off, he just stared out the window...this was not working!

wonder woman stared at his back. 'look...im sorry but im really worried right now' wonder woman smiled 'its allright, i know how it feels...come on, you can help me look' batman looked at her then nodded. i will not fail you this time richard he thought as wonder woman flew them between the buildings, hoping that they could find some sort of clue or even a sign but they found none.

after checking the city for the third time, wonder woman landed both of them on the roof 'i think we should start again in the morning...its late' batman didnt look at her...she didnt understand...she didnt know how it felt like...

'batman?' her voice broke into his thoughts 'are you allright?'

'fine' batman muttered 'allright we'll continue the search in the morning' he added. wonder woman smiled 'ok then ill see you tommorow' and she flew off to the watch tower. batman, however, did not go home..he stood on the roof top, lost in his thoughts.

all my fault...wasent there to help him...why?...shouldve been there. these thoughts kept haunting him as he made his way back to Wayne manor. he looked outside one last time before heading in...'please be allright' he whispered as the first rain drops started falling.

robin

he stared at the window...lost in his own thoughts. he saw lightning crackle in the sky followed by a soft drizzle of rain.

'Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams'

he sighed and dropped his head

'let it wash away my sad ending'

why was he cursed with such a life? ... it was so unfair... first, his parents die in a circus accident and now... he looked outside again and his face hardened. he was not going to work for slade, he would rather die first...

'have you decided yet?' slade's voice broke into his thoughts 'my answer is still no' robin answered quitely. ''why must you be so ignorant?' slade asked, coming towards him 'you should have realised by now that im going to be after you again and again...theres no point in resisting...this is your destiny'

robin said nothing. slade got irritated and held robin from his hair, forcing him to look up...which was the thing robin hated most...slade was showing him that he was superior to him...he hated that...

'well?' he asked again and again, robin didnt answer. slade angrily slapped him across the face but still robin said nothing

'im not giving up no... gonna stand up and shout'

slade was really irritated now...robin felt a bit satisfied that he had gotton on the man's nerves. slade picked robin up and threw him against the wall 'answer me' he said through gritted teeth

'no way..im not slacking off or backing out'

robin said nothing..he just glared at him which made slade even more angry but he released robin and he fell to the floor. robin picked himself up just as slade stepped out the door 'perhaps some more time will open your mouth' and he closed the door behind him. robin sat against the wall...the wheels in his head turning...he just had a brilliant idea...
