Mia: oh yes, mostly written by me because you wrote the second last chapter
Amy: fine fine on with it!
Chapter 21:
'How is he?'
'Is he going to be all right?'
'Yes, a few ribs broken but im sure he will survive'
He heard a sobbing noise and then raven's voice 'calm down starfire, hes going to be fine' raven? How? Where was he? How did he get here? Where was slade? Where was batman? Where were the others? What about the joker? Why am I asking all these questions from myself when I cant answer them? He thought verily. He strained to open his eyes but could not, it seemed that even the smallest amount of energy he had had been sucked out of him…he couldn't even open his eyes...wait….he thought sheepishly, maybe it was the blind fold…
'Well we will have to wait and see later' a deep voice said and he heard the scraping of chairs and footsteps echoing away from him. No wait! He thought desperately….how could they leave him alone here?
Starfire sobbed as she saw him just lying there, not doing anything…not even the slightest movement! Was he dead? …. He was her best friend…all the times they had spent laughing and joking…… was it all going to end when her friend was fighting for life or death? She fought to hold back tears but suddenly stopped. She grabbed raven's arm 'friend raven, look!' se pointed 'starfire what is..' but her voice trailed off as she looked at what starfire was pointing to…
'Yo, dude hes all right!' beastboy cried from behind him and ran to take the blind fold off robin's eyes as the boy wonder sat up. 'Yes' said sparks as she hurried in with batman close at her heels.
'Robin are you ok?' she asked 'yeah, im fine' he replied before starfire crushed him with her hug … 'g-glad t-o see you to-o' he stammered as starfire released him, blushing slightly. 'What happened?' he asked batman who was standing furthest from the group 'dude you should have seen it!' beastboy said enthusiastically 'thejokerwasallmuhahahahahahahaandiwaslikegrrandbatmanwaslikeyouaresodeadjokerandravenlookedlikeherdadandspeedywasreallyangryandcyborgwasallherolikeandstarfirewasreallyreallyreallymadwhenshesawsladean-' he frowned as a black cloud blocked his mouth 'mmph' he glared at raven who had black aura shining in her hands 'beastboy, before you say something, make sense first and remember to breath' she said and released him as everyone laughed
'Man, she got you good bb' said cyborg, poking the changeling who was blushing bright red. 'man I am starved' said speedy as he stretched his arms above his head and looked at the others 'why don't we talk over dinner?' ;sounds good to me' said cyborg 'ditto' sparks added and they headed out the room 'friend robin, aren't you going to join us in snacking?' starfire asked robin who was staring at the window 'ill catch up' he smiled 'just need some time alone' 'should I assist you in spending time alone?' she asked with an eager look in her eyes 'sorry star' he said while turning to the window again 'but I really need some time to collect my…thoughts' 'oh' she said and turned to fly out the room when a suspicious thought hit her…the last time she had left him alone, slade had captured him … something strange was going on… she decided as hid outside the door and she was going to find out what.
……………………………………completely normal pov…………………………………………………
He watched uncertainly as the boy inside looked in his direction…could he possibly know? How? He was completely concealed but he always knew that the boy was special, which is the reason he had chosen him. He gazed at the boy… he had given all his knowledge, all his attention all to him and he cared about was his stupid, worthless little friends!
He should honor the fact that slade had chosen him from all people. What was so special about his friends anyway? They were all worthless and so weak…especially that stupid little tameranian girl…so naïve and so worthless! His destiny is with me and only me! He is to be my apprentice he thought angrily but cooled down…no matter where he ran, his fate was sealed as his apprentice and slade never looses…slade always gets what he wants
I know he is there I just know it! Robin thought frantically as his mind raced for a quick plan. Slade doesn't know when to quit does he? He should know by now that he was not going to work for him no matter how hard he tried…slade was a crazy madman and had to be stopped, he would see to it personally he thought as anger swelled up inside him just as slade stepped in through the window…
Starfire gasped… it was that madman slade! Her first thought was to rush in and save robin but something told her to stay out of this…it is friend robin's business and I should not interfere in it she thought sadly as hot tears stung her eyes I cannot bear to see my best friend being tortured to work for the crazy man! She thought desperately and she decided that if he needs her, she will come and even if he doesn't call her, she will come if her heart tells her to
'Well well, aren't we enjoying our quite little afternoon?' said slade as he stood at the window 'well break time is over, we have some serious sparring lesson ahead apprentice' slade said, putting emphasis on the last word. Robin coolly eyed him yeah right he thought sheepishly and weighed his options:
1) Fight slade in his condition and lose again
2) Go willingly
3) Scream for help
4) Fight anyway
Ok, scratch that second option he thought and eyed slade again…his fists tightened, aching for battle 'I don't have all night' said slade as he pulled a small glass vile from his belt 'and I think you need a little extra dose of the serum' robin glared at him no way was he going to go through all that again and endanger everybody's lives…again 'no' he said quietly 'excuse me?' 'You heard me. No' he said and stood up, taking a battle stance 'I will have to get you the old fashioned way then' said slade and picked up a battle stance, then suddenly lunged forward as they both fought…
………………………………………
Amy: hey mia, wheres bunny?

Bunny raven: counting to ten before I kill you
Mia: come on.
Bunny raven: 1……..2………3……3

Bunny raven: sorry about that, on with the story!
robin
Robin narrowly missed a roundhouse kick to his stomach but failed to block the punch to his jaw as he was thrown on the wall. 'you are so weak' slade taunted as he stepped forward through the dust which had arose around them … this made robin angry and he moved forward , throwing as much punches he could muster and surprisingly, slade blocked only a few of them. Letting out a battle cry, slade again lunged forward and sent a knife kick to robin's chest and sent him trailing to the ground with slade placing his knee over him to keep him in place.
'now, did you have enough? Ask me to stop' he said while exerting more pressure as the seconds ticked by… 'no' robin managed to stutter as slade twisted his arm to a dangerous point 'say it' he snarled and grabbed his other arm, ready to break it when robin refused to answer 'say it' he repeated, with more than a hint of threat in his voice 'i-I wont!' robin yelled 'very well' said slade with much fury and he put even more pressure on robin's back which was ready to snap in half
Suddenly, robin felt the pressure lessen and he saw slade crash into the opposite wall, smoke rising from his form. His arms ached as they fell down besides him 'friend robin, are you unharmed?' a sweet voice asked. He looked up and saw starfire looking at him with great concern 'star?' he sat up and starfire held his hand, as if trying to comfort him 'how did you?' but he forgot the words as she helped him stand up, eyeing him kindly 'friend, I am sorry to intrude but I could not stand to see you in such pain' she said quickly 'you didn't intrude star' he said, smiling a genuine smile. He looked back to see where slade had fallen but not so surprisingly, he had vanished. He turned towards starfire 'thanks star, you saved my life' 'oh friend I am so glad you are not angry with me' she said as they both headed downstairs 'im so happy that you are unharmed!' and she hugged him again, lightly this time
'Come friend! We must seek joy with the others' and both of them went outside, where everybody was enjoying a feast laid down by a beaming Alfred who was standing close to speedy and sparks. 'hey guys, where were you?' beastboy bounded up to them 'cyborg almost finished all the food' he looked at robin with a frown on his face 'what happened to you? You look like as if…' his voice trailed off 'it was slade wasn't it?' he asked seriously and starfire nodded 'but luckily, the evil man is gone and now friend robin can stay with us' 'great!' 'Something is still bothering me...' said robin. Starfire and beast boy looked over at him 'dude, what?' 'Oh forget it, must be my imagination' he said smiled at them 'then, what are you waiting for? Come on!' beastboy and starfire dragged robin over to the others, happy that they had their friend back.
'you may have slipped away from me this time apprentice' slade said angrily as he hid in the shadows 'but your destiny is with me, as they say, stick with your first choice' he then swept away….slade always gets what he wants…
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
