Chapter 37:

'Again'

He growled and lunged at him, aiming a punch for his chest but the older man easily dodged it.

'You have to be quicker Robin' he said and punched him on the head, making him see spots 'I wont tolerate failure'

Angered, he gave a small battle cry and attacked him with all the energy he could muster but Slade caught his fist again and squeezed it until he heard the knuckles crack 'Good, but not good eneough, you cant even touch me' he taunted and pinned him against the wall with his wrist twisted behind his back.

Robin tried to wriggle free but Slade was just too strong and after a few minutes of pointless struggling, he finally gave up.

Slade gave a tired sigh and released him, making him fall on the floor 'That was absoloutly pathetic Robin' he said and observed him with his one eye 'I would expect you to do better next time' he said.

Robin slowly got up, his fists shaking in anger as he fought to control his emotions 'Like I care about what you think' he answered defiantly, his voice firm and without fear.

Slade's one eye narrowed in anger and he was about to backhand him when the doors opened, interrupting thier little training session.

'Sorry for the interruption Master Slade' said the butler 'But I would like to inform you that Master Mont and Miss Amy are waiting for you in the dining room for lunch'

Slade gave Robin an icy glare and followed the butler out of the room with Robin following behind with a smirk on his face.

TtTtTt

The lunch was quite, real quite and as Slade and Mont had taken off to another room, leaving Amy and Robin alone in the big dining room.

They could have talked, but the butler and Wintergeen kept a close eye over them so all they could do was exchange looks as they refused to eat anything at all.

'Oh come now' said the butler with frustration 'You must eat something' but the two teenagers ignored him, which earned them a glare.

The butler approached where Amy was sitting 'Atleast let me bandage those bruises' he said and touched her bruised shoulder with sympathic look on his face but Amy shurgged him off while muttering a 'no thanks'

The butler threw his hands in frustration 'oh I give up, If you two are not going to eat anything then retire to your quarters'

There was a noise of chairs scrapping on the floor and the next second, both teens were gone.

Wintergreen's eyes widened 'ok, that was fast'

TtTtTt

'I swear that food is poisened'

'Tell me about it'

'What do you think Slade and Mont are upto?'

'Nothing good'

'Creeps'

Both of them had started talking the minute they had stepped out of the dining room. It was more like chattering because they were talking about Random stuff.

'So why do you think Slade wears a mask?'

'Dunno...because he has ugly hair?'

Robin laughed at the comment, which was rare but when he started he couldnt stop, It felt so good.

'Robin will you stop laughing? youre gonna make me laugh too'

But he didnt stop and pretty soon they were both laughing thier heads off as they neared thier rooms.

'Cmon, it wasent that funny'

He gave one small laugh before talking 'Sorry, laughing just felt good right now'

Amy smiled 'Yeah, it kinda did' she looked at the new freind she had made, tears brimming in her black eyes.

Robin noticed this and immediatly frowned, 'Whats wrong Amy?'

Amy gave him a weak smile 'Its nothing...I was just getting sad because I wont ever see you again'

'What are you talking about?' he asked, his masked face showing complete confusion.

'I found a way out for you' she replied meekly.

'Im not leaving without you' he replied defiantly.

'Dont you understand!' Amy half-yelled, tears now freely streaming down her face 'I heard Slade and Monte talking about you! they are going to do something bad...real bad' she said 'and I prefer a living freind rather than a dead one'

'Doesnt matter, Slade wont kill me' he replied with confidence, His hours of obsessing over the villian finally paying off 'and I dont care. If I escape, Ill escape with you and thats final' leader mode had kicked in.

'So I cant talk you into escaping?'

'Nope'

She sighed and wiped the tears with her hand 'You are a real idiot, you know that?'

He gave her a cocky grin 'You dont know how many people have called me that'.

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt

Starfire had bags under her normally bright eyes as she, Cyborg and Raven pored over Robin's case files in attempts to find where Slade might have taken him but unfortunately, their research had not been the least bit helpful.

Beast boy and James were searching for Slade's hideout around town but so far, had ended up fruitless and were now having an argument.

'I am not Broccoli!'

'Then why are you green?'

'It was a stupid accident and thats just my skin color!'

'My point exactly Broccoli'

'I AM NOT BROCCOLI!'

'Are too!'

'Are not!'

'Are too!'

'Are not!'

'Are - ' James stopped and looked around as a sudden tapping noise filled the air 'uh, where is that sound coming from?'

Beast boy's ears perked up like a rabbit's as he listened for the sound's source 'I dunno, but it sounds like as if someone is tapping on glass'

'Open up all ready!' came a female voice, making them all jump and they looked towards one of the gigantic windows to see Sparks hovering in mid air with an irritated look on her face.

'Man will it kill you to use the door?' said Cyborg with a smile as he let her in.

'Great to see you too Cy' she said and retracted the metal platter she had been riding on (like static shock) as she looked at all the the titans 'Im just here to visit guys...you know, long time no see'

'Oh it has definately been a long time freind Sparks!' cried Starfire, some happiness of her voice returning at the sight of her freind and she enveloped her in a powerful hug 'X'hal dear freind Sparks!'

'Uhh...nice to see you too' she said as she felt the air leaving her lungs in the Tameranian's powerful grasp.

She quickly regained herself as Starfire let go and looked around for an angry Boy wonder but he was nowhere to be seen.

She frowned 'Where is Robin?'

The titan's faces sagged and Raven looked even more gloomier than usual at the mention of his name.

'H-He was k-kidn-napped by S-Slade' Starfire stutterred as tears streamed down her cheeks 'We have been trying to find him ever since but now he is no longer in the city'

'Or the country for that matter' added Raven in her monotone voice.

'What!' Sparks nearly exploded 'When was he last seen? Where did Slade take him? Are you sure its Slade? What have-'

'Hey calm down girly' James interrupted from the couch behind them. Sparks looked at him with a confused expression on her face 'Who is he?'

'Dr. James Thompson, at your service' he intorduced himself proudly and looked at her with his blood red eyes sweetly, scaring her a bit.

'A.K.A they guy who kidnapped Robin in the first place' said Raven, wiping the smirk off his face.

Sparks frowned 'Let me get this straight, you guys are taking help from the guy who kidnapped Robin in the first place?'

'I wanted to help' said James and stood up with a defant glare. Sparks glared back 'I dont trust you' she seethed 'I dont care' he replied venemously.

'Please donot argue' said Starfire as she watched the two peole stare each other down.

'Yeah cause if you two are going to fight, we need time to sell tickets' Beast boy joked.

Cyborg pushed the two angry humans apart 'Look ya'll, we dont have time for your argument, we need to find Robin'

'Yeah and we would find him sooner if you two would stop argueing' added Raven in a slightly enraged tone.

Sparks turned away and sighed 'Ok, ill put up with him...for now' then she turned towards the titans 'But I think we should tell Batman about this'

'Oh no! we must not inform the man of bat as he will surely take freind Robin away from us!' Starfire exclaimed in a horrified tone.

'But he can help' argued Sparks 'and he knows Robin better than all of you combined'

Everyone fell silent and looked at the ground. Sparks could not help but feel a bit guilty for making them feel that way.

'Look' she said in a softer tone 'I know you want Robin back, I do too and Batman can help us find him' she looked at Starfire 'would you not prefer a living Robin rather than a dead one? even if he is away from you atleast you'll know that hes alive and well'

Starfire bit her trembling lip, Sparks had no idea how those words had effected her.

Finally, after looking around the room at her team mates she announced in a strong, confident voice 'We will tell the man of bats'

Cyborg opened his mouth to protest but after seeing Starfire's face, he quickly shut it, he knew protesting with the tamaranian would be pointless.

Sparks nodded, 'Thats what I like to hear' she said with a smile 'Now, which one of you is going to tell Batman?'

Looks of horror painted thier faces and they all pointed at each other.

'You seem to know Batman very well' said James from next to her 'Why dont you tell him?' and everyone nodded in agreement.

Sparks groaned, Why do I always get myself into these things? 'fine'

She contacted the watch tower through her own communicator 'Jonn, patch me to Batman, I have a message for him'

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt

His fists were trembling with anger and he was having a hard time fighting the urge to break something.

He had yelled at Sparks with extreme fury over the comm-link after hearing the news she had given him. He knew it wasent her fault, He would definately apologize for it later.

But he had to take his anger out on someone and Sparks just happened to be the unfortunate person- no scratch that, victim at that time.

But Robin's disappearence wasent a new thing, he would always disappear at one time or another, The only thing diffrent was that it had happened in Jump, not Gotham.

Which enraged him even more.

And to top it all off, his teammates were taking help from the very person who had kidnapped him in the first place.

Teenagers...

Thats it, he had made up his mind.

After all this was over, he was going to take Robin back to Gotham; it wasent that he didnt trust him or his team (he was having doubts about the last part) but Robin's life was on the line here.

And he would be damned if anyone could stop him...

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTt
