ChapterSix: Wanting Information
"Raven, you can take that off of Beastboy now" Robin said as he sat up from the infirmary bed. Doing what Robin asked Raven took her spell off Beastboy's mouth only for him to start yelling again. "It's about time you took that thing off me!! Not back to what I was sa..." Casting her magic back on Beastboy she turned her attention back to Robin as Terra and Cyborg started laughing at Beastboy. "I don't think it's time to take it off yet." Raven spoke with annoyance.
"Anyways..." Cyborg butted into the conversation and continued. "How you feeling?" "I'm feeling better. I'm still feeling shocks through my body at times, but I'm alright." Answering Cyborg's question and turning back to Raven, Robin wondered about what he was just told. "So you fought Ken, right?" Robin asked as Raven answered with a slight nod of the head. "Did he say what Slade was planning with Red X?" "I don't even think that he know what Slade is planning." "Did you figure out the connection between him and Slade?" Raven answered with a slight shake of the head as she once again used jesters to answer Robin's questions.
"So we still know nothing huh?" Robin asked as he looked down at his feet. Looking back up as Beastboy tapped Raven and put his hand together, begging for her to take the spell of him. Taking a minute to think about it, Raven showed him mercy as she removed the spell and watched him as he took a deep breath then exhaled with relief. "We do know one thing!" Beastboy said as everyone looked at him and gave him all their attention. "We know that Ken don't like Slade interrupting his fights." "That's right!" Cyborg shouted as Beastboy continued. "Ken when Slade drones got in the middle of Ken and Red, Ken made chop sewi out of them with his sword."
Lifting his head slightly, Robin then started to wonder more about what is Ken's motive, if Slade trusts him, and if he even trusts Slade. "Robin what is it?" Starfire asked as he broke his concentration. "Oh, it's nothing." Turning his head from hearing a slight noise in the room, Robin started to feel that their was an extra body in the room. "Yo, Robin!" "Huh?" Robin replied as he turned his attention back to them. "Oh sorry about that. I guess that I'm still tired. Mind if I get some rest?" Watching as they all nodded their heads and began leaving the room, Starfire stood near Robin as she attended to stay in the room with him. "Don't worry Star, I'll be alright. Go get yourself some rest." "But..." "Go ahead. Get you something to eat or something. You can come back in a while, just go get some rest." Looking down at the ground as she nodded her head in agreement, Starfire then turned around and slowly exited the room.
Turning his head over to the open window, Robin stood up from the bed and walked around it as he looked around for a moment. "Wow. The serious kid has a girlfriend." Robin herd as he quickly turned around and stood face to face with Red X. "You knew I was here, your getting better kid." Red X said as he sat on Robin's bed. "What you want X?" "Getting right to the point as usual huh kid? And I was hoping that we could have some cookies and milk before we got serious." Red X joked around with Robin. "Sorry I'm a bad host, maybe I'll go out and buy some for the next time you wanna drop in." Taking a deep breath as he pushed off the bed and stood face to face with Robin once again, Red X got right down to the point.
"Where is Slade located?" Giving a slight chuckle as Red X started to think Robin was taking him as a joke, Red X took a step forward as now his forehead was pushed against Robin's. "Your kidding right?" "Note, serious face." Red X answered. "Well that was a stupid question. If I knew that, do you think that I'll be standing here!?" Robin aggressively asked as Red X took a step back and took another deep breath. "I'm guessing that your refusing Slade's offer?" "What is it to you? Well... maybe I should accept his offer to get rid of you." "But?" "...Don't worry about the but." Red X said as he walked past Robin and placed his foot on the window as he got ready to jump out. "But you hate him more than you hate me, am I wrong?" Turning and looking at Robin, Red X answered his question. "I don't hate you kid. It's fun having a... buddy like you trying to stop me." "You only answered half of my question, so I'm taking that as you hate Slade." "Think what you want kid. Oh, one more thing. Who is that other kid?" "What other kid?" "The one with the sword." "Oh yeah, his name is Ken Chrono. That's all we know." "What about his connection with Slade?" "Nothing."
Nodding his head, Ken then turned and rose his hand showing Robin what he has. "I'll be taking this for right now kid." "Hey! That's my communicator! Give it back!" "No can do half pint. You have something of mine, and now I have something of yours. You'll get this back when I get what I want from you." "Don't go running up my bill now, you hear?" Robin said as he joked around with Red X. "There you go kid, get a sense of humor. Oh yeah, tell Starfire that I wanna kiss her and hug her and..." "Red!!" Robin yelled as he took two quick steps towards Red X as he jumped out of the window laughing and pressed his cloaking button. "Ha ha! Just messing with you kid. Lighten up." Turning his attention on the door as he herd knocks; Starfire's voice came from the other side. "Robin? May I come in now?"
