Chapter 2: Only a dream
That's when he woke up. Screaming nonetheless. "Ugh. Were am I?" he said and reached up to rub his head. "Oww! My arm!" He stopped as the room slowly came into focus. "Why am I in the Med Lab?" he wondered aloud. He looked up startled when he heard the door slide open. "Who's there?" he demanded.
"It's only me Robin. I heard you screaming. What were you screaming about?" came a emotionless voice.
"Hey Raven," he said, relieved that his dream wasn't true. No it's not true yet. But how much longer will she stay safe? Came a voice inside his head. "It was nothing," even in the dark he could tell that she'd risen an eyebrow. "Really, I'm fine," he paused for a moment thinking. "Why am I here anyway?" he asked looking confused.
"You mean you don't remember," Raven replied. He wasn't sure but he thought that he heard a hint of worry in her voice. "Just think for a minute," she said. Again he wasn't sure but he thought that he heard a pleading tone in her voice, but as soon as he heard it, it was gone again.
He scowled, finally remembering what had happened. How Slade had beat him...again!
Flashback
The Titans were called to a warehouse on the outskirts of town. When they got there they were ambushed by Sladebots.
"Titans Go!" Robin yelled and took out his bo-staff. He started to attack the Sladebots furiously along with the others.
Robin suddenly saw a figure leaning against a steel beam. "Slade," he growled, voice dripping with hate and his eyes narrowing. He destroyed the Sladebot that was attacking him and took off after Slade.
Slade lead him to a square concrete room with rotating metal gears and iron bars going from the floor to the ceiling. Robin turned around as he heard the door lock behind him. He suddenly felt very afraid. He was locked in the room with Slade, there was no way out and Slade, as much as he hated to admit it, was a better fighter then he was.
"What do you want Slade?" Robin yelled, trying to sound braver then he actually felt. "Come out and fight!"
"Don't worry Robin. I'm not going anywhere. And I'm not hiding either. I'm right here," Slade said then walked out from behind a giant gear.
Robin, as always, made the first move. He aimed a spinning kick at Slade's head but Slade moved out of the way. Slade grabbed Robin's leg and twisted it in mid air. Robin's eyes widened and he landed with a loud 'thump' on his stomach. Slade, still holding Robin's leg, flipped Robin over on his back. Robin kicked Slade off his feet with his free leg and leaped to his feet.
"You've improved Robin. I'm impressed," Slade purred easily getting back on his feet. "But I'm afraid that you'll have to do better then that in order to defeat me."
Robin yelled then rushed at Slade again, this time Slade was ready for what Robin did. Robin came at Slade, aiming a punch at his face but Slade saw it coming. He caught Robin's hand and squeezed it, making the bones crack. Robin yelped in pain then Slade turned Robin around bent his arm up so that his wrist was squarely between his shoulder blades. This time Robin screamed in pain then gave another short yelp as Slade ground his arm deeper into his back.
"Slade, stop," Robin begged, his masked eyes clouded from pain.
Slade let go of Robin's arm and Robin staggered a few steps and rubbed his arm. Suddenly Slade kicked Robin's leg. Robin cried out in pain and collapsed on the ground hitting his elbow on the concrete. Slade then grabbed Robin's cape, hauled him up and dragged him to a small trapdoor that was hidden in the wall. In fact, if Slade hadn't been about to put him in there he never would have noticed it.
"Slade let me go! NOW! SLADE STOP!" Robin yelled struggling once he saw what Slade was intending to do but Slade kept him in a ironlike grip. Slade easily opened the door with one hand then shoved Robin towards the small room that was only big enough for a person to lie down in. Robin's eyes widened and he started to struggle even more but he didn't see the glint of the needle until it was too late and he felt the pressure on his skin. He cried out as it went in. He felt the drug start to kick in and his eyes started to close. He fought for conscious but he was losing.
"So Robin," Slade said venomously kneeling down by the nearly unconscious hero. "Let's see how much your little friends really want you. If they want you, well I guess that they'll find you but if they think that you're only a worthless, powerless hero that you are, the lone 'hero' who they never considered their friend then I'll be back to claim you as my apprentice," he finished then shoved Robin into the room roughly. "I will see you in a while my little robin," he said then closed the door and left.
"Somebody...help...please...anybody...Beast Boy... Cyborg... Starfire...Raven," Robin whispered between ragged breaths. The last thing that he heard before he totally blacked out was Slade's chilling laugh echoing off the walls. "Raven...please," he whispered then the darkness became complete.
End flashback
"I guess you do remember?" Raven said softly, putting a hand on Robin's shoulder.
"Ya," Robin looked downcast. "I just hope he never really hurts you...I mean the team."
Raven blushed a bit when she heard Robin's slip. "Why does he keep doing this? Hurting you like now. We're all worried about you!"
"Well you shouldn't!" Robin yelled angrily. "I can take care of myself!"
"Sure, that's why you spend most of your time either here, or fighting S..." Raven broke off, she didn't want to say his name.
"I'm fine. You should go." Robin felt bad about saying that and even worse when he saw Raven's face, but he was mad about being the one to drag the team down. Robin could see how tired everybody was from fighting shorthanded and worried about him. I can take care of myself he thought!
"Ok. I'll go, I just wanted to tell you that I l..." Raven was cut off by Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire running in the room.
"What happened Robin? I heard you scream," Beast Boy was out of breath.
"Nothing. Just a nightmare," Robin didn't want the team to worry even more. "What were you saying Rae?"
"Never mind. I should really go. Goodbye!" Raven teleported back to her room.
That was close! I don't know what come over me. Was I just about to tell Robin that I love him? I really need to meditate more. I wonder what's going on with him and Slade and why he acts like that towards me. I won't read his mind, yet. Raven started to wonder about Robin as she climbed into bed for a few precious moments of sleep.
A/N: you thought it was really happening! haha! R&R please!
