I sorry this has taken so long to get this chapter up. I've been having a major case of writer's block lately and tons of homework, not to mention babysitting on the weekends. But this is definitely a longer chapter, so I hope you guys are all happy with it. -smile-
Dedication: To Shelby, although you will never read this story, I would like to thank you for being a good friend and for having that Halloween Party of your's this weekend. It's gonna be so awesome!
Disclaimer: The Teen Titans will be mine! I will rule!...um...I mean...I don't own the Teen Titans...yet. -grin-
"Rae! You've got to get down here! Robin's..." But then there was an annoying buzz and the line went dead.
-----------------------------
"Robin's gone! We have no idea where his is!" Beast Boy half screamed into the communicator. Behind him, Cyborg was yelling out Robin's name and running all around Titan's Tower. Where had Robin disappeared to? One moment, he was right there and the next, gone!
I'm going to kill Robin when I find him! Beast Boy thought running to catch up with Cyborg and hoping that the girls got there soon.
By the time Raven got Starfire out of the mall, she was in frantics.
"What has happened to Friend Robin? Is he ok? Is he unharmed? Will I ever see him again?" It wasn't long until Starfire was in tears.
"It's ok, Starfire," Raven said trying to comfort the hysterical alien girl, "I bet Beast Boy just meant, um, Robin's...happy?"
"It didn't sound like that!" Starfire sniffed trying to wipe away her tears, but shortly after, most cascaded down her face.
"Come on, Starfire. We have got to get home and find out what happened. Maybe we'll be able to do something to help." Raven told her, levitating towards the tower.
"Yes! We must hurry! Friend Robin might be in great danger and we must go help him. My crying will do no good." And with that, Starfire quickly flew off towards Titan's Tower, dragging Raven behind her.
Robin shook his head and looked around. Where was he? It looked like he was standing in the middle of a thick fog. He could see past his knee, because the fog layered the ground so thickly. What was going on? How did he getting here? Looking around, Robin saw a girl walking towards him in the distance. Her chestnut hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall and her emerald green eyes shown as she got nearer, it only took Robin a moment to figure out who she was.
"Starfire?"
"Why did you do it, Robin?"
"What? Starfire, what are you talking about? Where are we?"
"You let her get away, Robin. You almost let her destroy everything. You are a traitor. You betrayed us all."
"No! Starfire, I would never betray you!" But as he said this, Starfire slowly started to walk away, disappearing into the mist as it got even thicker. It swirled around Robin making it impossible to see around.
"No! Starfire! STARFIRE!"
Robin sat bolt upright. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest and he was breathing hard. Everything was pitch black around him as he stumbled to get up off the ground.
What just happened? Where am I? He thought to himself. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, Robin realized where he was. He was standing in the middle of the Titans Tower basement.
So it must have just been a dream. Starfire doesn't really think that I'm a traitor. But then how did I get down here? Robin thought walking towards the door, but as he tried to open it, he discovered that it was locked.
"Oh, great! Now I'm stuck down here." Sighing, Robin sat down on a pile of boxes in the corner of the basement and waited for some to come looking for him. He hoped that it wouldn't take long for them to realize he was gone.
Starfire burst through the door into Titans Tower, dragging, a very motion sick, Raven behind her.
"I think I'm just going to go use the bathroom for a moment," Raven said turning slightly green as she ran off down the hall.
"What happened to Friend Robin?" Starfire demanded, flying over to Beast Boy, her eyes glowing green with anger. Beast Boy turned cowering in the corner away from Starfire.
"Um, didn't Raven already tell you?" He asked quietly hope that the empath had, even though it didn't seem very apparent.
"No! We only heard that something happened to Robin. The connection broke off after that!"
"Oh, well, um..."
"Where is he?"
"Um, he's...uh..."
"Yes?"
"He sorta, well...disappeared?"
"He WHAT!"
"I'm sorry, Starfire. We can't find him anywhere!"
"Poor Robin! He must be all alone! We must split up and find him!" Starfire flew towards the hall.
"Starfire, wait! We already tried that! I don't think he's here."
"We must keep on searching! He couldn't have left the tower! Where would he have gone?"
"I don't know, Starfire..."
"STARFIRE!" Robin's voice ran out through the Tower causing Beast Boy to jump up in shock.
"I'm coming, Robin!" Starfire called out, "Beast Boy, you go get Cyborg and Raven. I'll go find out where Robin is."
"Ok, Starfire. Be careful. We don't want you getting lost too."
"Don't worry, I won't." Starfire flew off towards where Robin's voice was coming from. Leaving Beast Boy to dash off to the garage, where Cyborg was.
Robin heard voices coming from outside the door. Maybe his friends had come looking for him?
"Robin? Robin, where are you?" Starfire sounded close by.
"Starfire! I'm down here!" Starfire opened the door to the basement and ran it.
"Oh, Robin! I was so worried! I though you had left!"
"Don't worry, Starfire. I would never leave you." As he said these words, Robin could feel the color rising in his checks. Did Starfire notice? "Starfire we got to get out before..." But as he turned around, Robin knocked the boxed he had been sitting on into the door, causing it to slam shut.
"Oh, shit! Now we're locked in again." Robin cursed under his breath, but he notice Starfire had moved closer to him in fright.
"Uh, Friend Robin?"
"Ya, Starfire?"
"Have I ever told you that I am most afraid of darkness?"
"Um, no Starfire. You haven't."
"Well I am," she said quietly moving even closer to Robin. He gulped feeling his heart race faster and faster. As a rat moved in the darkness, Starfire squeaked with fright and grabbed Robin's hand, making him blush even deeper. For once, he was extremely thankful it was dark.
"It's ok, Starfire. I'm right here. I won't let anything happen to you." She turned to him, and he could have sworn he face seemed almost as red as his even in the darkness.
"Thank you, Robin," she whispered. She moved closer to him and the gap between their face became smaller. Just then, the basement door swung open. Starfire and Robin fell to the ground at a desperate attempt to move away from each other.
"Uh, sorry?" Beast Boy said to them. All three Titans were standing in the doorway, with smiles on there faces. "Were we interrupting something?"
"Shut up, Beast Boy." Robin told him, helping Starfire up off the ground.
"Whatever." Beast Boy replied still grinning as they all walked out of the basement and up to Living Room.
Was that for real? Did he almost kiss Starfire? No! She didn't feel that way about him! Did she? What if she did? What would have happened if Beast Boy and the others hadn't come? Robin wondered. Noticing that everyone was staring at him, Robin snapped back to reality.
"Uh, what is everyone looking at?"
"Man, Robin! Where did you go? We were all looking for you, but you disappeared!" Cyborg asked looking confused.
"I really don't know what happened! One moment I was working on the computer and the next, I was lying on the basement floor!" Robin said. He decided not to mention the weird dream he had, just in case it got Beast Boy going on again about him and Starfire.
"Well, you gave us all quite a scare!" Raven said looking still a bit worried.
"Raven! Your here!" Beast Boy said as if it had just dawned on him that Raven was in the room.
"Yup! I've been here the whole time!" Raven said smiling happily as if he had just complimented her.
"Man! She is acting so weird! Hey! Raven, what's your password?" Cyborg said turning to the computer.
Finally! Robin thought. We can find out what happened to Raven!
"My password?" Raven said looking confused, then suddenly happy again. "Oh! My password! Ya!"
"Well?" They all asked looking at her.
"It's...Beast Boy!"
Wow! I bet that wasn't expected! -grin- Well, you're just gonna have to wait to see their reactions. Muahahaha! I will try to update soon. -curse stupid writer's block-
Please R&R! Thanks everyone!
