I don't know who I would like to kill first. He is holding her hand but he doesn't hold mine? I am not jealous I am pissed as I march up to Sage and Robin. I clear my throat and Robin and Sage glance at me but don't unlock hands. I, being angry beyond belief, grab their wrists and unlatch them myself then step between the two.

"Can we talk...now."

I said not asking but demanding. I didn't wait for answer as I dragged him off into the Tower and shut the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

I asked him slowly as the anger added a sharp edge to my words.

"Calm down...it didn't mean anything."

"It did mean anything? You NEVER hold my hand."

"..."

Raven's voice lowered as she asked Robin in a quiet voice.

"Do you like her?"

"..."

"Robin answer me!"

Robin could see Raven's eyes glossy with tears that were about to brim over no matter what he said. Robin looked down avoid eye contact with the usually strong but now fragile Raven. Raven didn't need to hear the words to know that whatever Robin was going to say to her was signaling the end of something that was supposed to last forever.

"I love you Raven but your just so-"

"So your basically blaming me for what's happening now."

"No I-"

"I really did love you Robin and I always wanted what's best for you but right now you just being an ass. If you really like Sage go for it but when she's finished toying with you don't cry to me. I have no sympathy for the stupid."

Raven said emotionlessly as she teleported to her room leaving Robin alone to wallow in his guilt.

Robin laid across his bed unable to sleep. He glanced at his alarm clock who's red led lights read 1:00 am. Robin heard a faint knock on his door so he untangled himself from the knot that was his bedding. The sliding door opened to reveal Sage who was holding two mugs and what looked to be a picture. She smiled as she asked quietly.

"I heard your sheets rustling relentlessly so I concluded that you were having trouble finding sleep so I decided we could as you say hang out?"

Robin laughed as he gestured for her to come in and closed the door behind her. Robin sat on his bed and Sage sat in a chair. She handed him a mug as he said

"You couldn't sleep either?"

"No, it is hard to sleep when you hear everything within a one mile radius and when you wear such attire for sleeping."

She said gesturing to her uniform.

"I can see where that can be uncomfortable. I have some old sweat pants and a t-shirt if you want?"

"I wouldn't object but they would more than likely be too big."

"The pants have a draw string."

"Oh then I will take them with great gratitude."

Robin smiled as he grabbed the clothes from his drawer and threw them at Sage with the shirt landing on her head.

"That was very rude."

"I apologize for my rudeness then."

He responded mimicking Sage causing her eyes to narrow as her and Robin had an impromptu staring contest which ended quickly when neither of the two could contain their laughter.

"Speaking of clothes why do you wear that uniform?"

"If I did not wear my uniform I would be nude."

"You know what I mean."

"My uniform was modeled after my cheerleading uniform...which brings me to this photograph."

Sage handed Robin the picture and she continued.

"This is me before I was...utterly transformed."

"Wow. You were a cheerleader...that explains why your so athletic."

"My appearance was normal at a time. My hair was brown, my eyes were as green as sage hence my name, and I wasn't the color of a sheet of paper."

"You are not the color of paper...more like the color of a corpse."

"You have such a marvelous way to swoon a girl."

"So I have been told."

Sage rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her blushing cheeks which caused Robin to laugh.

"Sage, what's your favorite color?"

"White. Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know more about you so I figured a game of twenty questions should suffice."

"Okay then what is your preferred color?"

"Red, of course. How much do you weigh?"

"Most girls would be offended by this but I digress I weigh ninety three pounds."

"Ninety three? Do you eat?"

"Yes. What is your favorite song? I find the song "Think Twice" by Eve 6 quite awesome."

"I don't have one. How many boyfriends did you have?"

"You first."

"I asked you first."

"I haven't had one yet."

"Your lying."

"No I am honest."

"But your pretty, nice and funny I don't understand."

"I have been asked out but I knew that they just desired my body."

"Oh."

"How many girlfriends have you had?"

"Five."

The two had an awkward pause until Sage asked.

"Next Question; would you rather have a pet monkey or a pet dinosaur?"

"Definitely the monkey."

"Can I call you Robby?"

"If only if you let me call you flower girl."

"Never mind that."

Robin yawned and stretched out his arms.

"I guess this is my que to bid you good night perhaps?"

Sage questioned lightly as she stood up but Robin quickly stood up and held her wrist.

"No, I'm not tired just please stay."

Sage giggled and said,

"I wish I could stay but what would a tired Robin do for the Titans?"

"I wouldn't be tired."

"Robin, I would love to stay up all night and talk with you but I am afraid I am feeling quite drowsy."

Sage said while smiling somberly then leaned in and kissed him softly on the cheek.

"Goodnight."

She whispered as she turned on her heel and exited from Robin's room.

Sage, once in her temporary room, removed her uniform and put on the clothes Robin gave her which as she suspected where big on her. Sage collapsed on to the bed and soon fell asleep.

Sage was thrown to ground with an ear shattering crack that couldn't be identified as anything but a bone breaking from sheer force. Sage looked up to see two people whom both were laughing. Slade and her dark shadow both began to move closer. Slade's voice echoed as he taunted,

"Stupid useless girl."

Slade kicked in her stomach causing her to roll in the darkness. Dark Sage rolled her black eyes and scoffed,

"You are weak. You know they do not want you and you know he does not love you!"

Dark Sage picked up Sage by her shirt and punched her in the jaw, busting her lip. Dark Sage dropped her and watched intently as Sage tried to collect herself from the ground. The blood trickled from her mouth. Slade crouched down beside her and cooed metallicly,

"When you realize the truth I will be here with open arms. Daddy loves you."

Slade ran his hand across her cheek causing Sage to turn away in disgust and that's when she saw who Robin was surrounded in a glowing white light. Her voice was strained and hoarse as she called out frantically,

"Robin! Robin! Help! Help me please!"

Robin appeared not hear her no matter how loud she yelled. Dark Sage laughed menacingly as she said,

"Can you not take a hint! He does not care!"

Sage managed to stand up disregarding her injuries and ran to Robin and hugged him tightly but in a matter of seconds he turned to blood. Sage fell to her knees and screamed in horror and then felt what was a cold steel knife pressed hardly against her neck. Slade's dark metallic voice said with deranged joy,

"Like mother like daughter."

Dark Sage ran in front of her and smiled wickedly as she said,

"Nightie night...bitch!"

Slade slowly ran the knife across her neck and blood gushed rapidly as she let the darkness around her surround her and drown her.

Sage's eyes shot open and darted frantically across the room. She relaxed when she realized it was just a nightmare. As she lifted her hand up to wipe the sweat that had beaded on her face she noticed her forearm was twisted and bent in a way that meant it was broken. Her eyes widened in shock as she ran her hand across her lip which was swollen and bleeding.
