Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. DC does I just love to manipulate them into what I want. I have recently come across the world of slash. I thought I would be freaked out turns out that it's had given me ideas.

Chapter 2

Suffocating that's what was happening Robin was suffocating. He felt like a prisoner the walls of titans tower was his bars, his team were the jailers. Every time a new problem arose the team looked to Robin their mighty leader. Don't get Robin wrong he had no problem with that it was just the problems themselves. Control Freak, Fang, Johnny Rancid, and Puppet king. All of them were games; unlike the other Titans every time the team took down these guys he didn't feel happy or accomplished. In fact it was the exact opposite. Robin felt restless if not a little angry. Not by his team but the villains themselves Robin was angry because it had taken the minimal effort to take them down. He was angry because it was so….easy.

Robin hated himself for thinking this but on easy days like this Robin found himself almost missing Slade even Red-X. Those two had given Robin what he wanted…no what he needed…a challenge.

The Titans leader sighed to himself, Yet another slow day Robin thought to himself. He could hear the rest of the Titans in the living room. Beast boy and Cyborg playing video games throwing the insults around like usual. He could hear Raven explain to Starfire why mustard didn't belong on waffles. Yup just another day, But why did that very thought make him feel so restless and suffocated.

The boy wonder should feel happy there was no danger, he should feel happy all the big time Jump villains are behind pairs. Robin should be happy but he isn't that cold restless feeling that makes him shiver the rapid beating of his pulse all lead to one thing. I miss Gotham.

Robin stopped his thoughts right there, He wasn't going down this line of thought because he knew where it would take him. The bird let out another sigh and plopped down on his bed. While the rest of his team thinks their leader is tired truth of the matter was Robin was avoiding them.

He didn't know when it started but Robin's been noticing he was becoming distant, unfocused, and just plain bored. Sometimes he would find himself thinking back to that day X saved him all those months ago. Robin would wonder what made X so free so untouchable was it because he had no team or family. Was it really numero uno with him.

Robin would think what it would like if he shed the leader roll and just went solo. No team No Batman just himself. Robin shook his head to clear the insane thoughts. There was no way he could leave the Titans leaderless. They have Cyborg they'll be fine without you.

"No I can't leave." And for some reason those words didn't give him the comfort of friendship like they use to. They made something in Robin sink like a prisoner accepting his jail sentence.

"I can't ever leave."
