Third person POV

"Sparkbomb!" the Titans yelled in alarm as the lights of laser's and bombs lit up the large room. Their attempts at gaining her attention to stop her were drowned out by her intense shocked screams. The titans ran and ducked for cover, which ended with them all behind the now turned over table.

"What must we do?" Starfire asked with a concerned tone

"Maybe if we wait she'll stop in her own time..." Cyborg said, fearing the state his 'sister' was in.

"We all knew this was a possibility. She was trapped in her mind for a long time..." Robin stopped as the all ducked further down from the lazar that neared their heads.

"...she was trapped in darkness then and at the fire. All we need to do is calm her down and find a light source." Robin quickly explained

"But there's a power cut... where do we find..." Beast boy was cut off when Robin clicked his fingers in realisation and told the titans his plan; they nodded and went in to action.

Raven swiftly moved to her left as a beam shot past her, "Azerath Metrion Zinthos" this surrounded Sparkbomb in a black field that evidently forced her to stop casting out her defence, but scared her further and her high pitched plea for release and begs for forgiveness echo through the hollow tower. She's screaming for forgiveness... Raven thought and felt sorrow creeping upon her, which she quickly push back and focused on the task at hand. She slowly moved the shield out of the room towards the metal winding staircase, leaving Starfire and Beast Boy to clear any damage that may have been cause in the main room.

With Cyborg and Robin leading the way in the darkness they cautiously climbed the staircase, not wanting to fall in the darkness or shake Sparkbomb to much, up to the top, Robin's fists were clenched continuously in frustration that Sparkbomb was suffering because of that old villain that a certain old acquaintance of his should have been keeping an eye on.

Every so often both Raven and Cyborg would register his silhouette turning back, as if checking she was still there and he was simply imagining her cries. The three titans comforted there friend with soft comments and reassurances, even though it was unknown to them whether she recognised it.

As they approached the 'fire escape' door that lead to the T-Tower roof, they paused and Cyborg asked "You sure about this, robin?" He nodded in response and said blankly "I'm positive this is all she needs and if I'm wrong, I will handle it."

With that they all expanded out on to the roof top, Robin nodded at Cyborg in finalisation and he went back inside hoping Sparkbomb kept calm. "Raven you can let her down now." She co-operated and hesitated before exiting as Cyborg had.

Staring at the darkness that hid Sparkbomb from view, He listened and cast out a deep breath he had been holding.

It was silent.

No screams.

No pleas.

No panic.

Or so he had hoped...

He reached around to the side of the wall around the door to search momentarily to find the switch that turned on their huge search light, which worked due to the saved energy it stored. Before flicking it on, he glanced over the city instinctively and saw nothing but darkness.

Robin flicked the switch and the bright light caused him to quickly move his arm up to cover his eyes until they had adjusted.

He slowly began to lower his arm, after a silence second. His gaze was fixed on her and he did not like what he saw. But it was what he expected.

Spark was sitting with her back to Robin, on the cold hard roof top, with her knees hugged to her chest and her hands were clenched in to fists on her head, pulling and grabbing at her hair in fear and desperation. His masked eyes went wide in shock and repressed sadness.

Robin slowly moved closer to the circle of light that lit up the roof and studied her as he worked his way round to see her face. He stopped and her head was tilted down, her face out of sight.

"Spark..." He spoke out to her, being careful to not startle her.

She didn't move, but seemed to relax slightly, her grip on her hair loosened.

Robin moved closer, stepping in to the light, and knelt down on the smooth, metal, in front of his closest friend, her eyes were tightly shut and overflowing with tears. His hands automatically reached out to gently untangle hers from her hair.

Spark slowly opened her eyes and allowed Robin to help her, she starred at the floor and feared looking up, her mind raced with memories and emotions, which enabled her to only half focus on the caring, masked eyed boy before her.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She whispered over and over, Robins face looked at her down cast eyes as he processed her words.

"Spark, you have nothing to be sorry for... what happened in there… it wasn't your fault, we all understand" He attempted to comfort, while squeezing her hand softly.

Her eyes slowly drifted up to meet his. Robin felt like he was melting inside from being under her capturing, sparkling bright, silver eyes. Spark, on the other hand, was trying to comprehend the situation... she felt angry at herself for letting the darkness that she feared out and almost destroying friends, then she felt confusion from the robin saying it wasn't her fault even though... No. She refused to say it.

But she simply could not shake the fear within her. Robin didn't understand she wasn't saying sorry for her explosion in the tower...

Flashback

The screeching metal voice echo through the building, he came closer and laughed louder at Spark's bloodied and broken self.

In her weak, angered, terrified state she screamed, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS JOKER! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE! I WILL KILL YOU!" she spat out the blood, which pooled in her mouth, at him and instantly regretted it.

He grabbed her face to look at him, "well sparky that doesn't matter." he said in his voice that mirrored the sound of nails scraping a chalk board, "because you're not going to get out of here". His laugh cashed in to her mind once more, and he threw her to the floor.

"Your Wrong The titans will come for me! Robin will find you! You won't win this sick game!

YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME!"

"looks like someone missing their little friend, The Great Boy Blunder!" He exclaimed, as he left through the door and laughed metallically once more, only turning to taunt her, "I think... you need some time to adjust your attitude sparky... you know your far too serious" He slammed the door shut, locking her in the darkness with that pained face; smiling as her misery.

"No! Please! No! I'm sorry! I'M SORRY! PLEASE! LET ME OUT! PLEASE! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!" Her voice got louder and higher as she screamed for release.

Spark couldn't stop herself; she flung her arms around him and pulled Robin in to a hug. He moved from his kneeling position to sit beside her and he tried to suppress the reddening of his cheeks when she rested her head on his shoulder and nuzzled in to his neck.

"Spark..." He said, while fighting to keep his voice even.

She didn't move, but simply whispered, "Yeah?"

"Everything will be ok... He'll never touch you again, I promise." Those last two words had never meant so much to him before.

"Soon it will only feel like a night mare..." He uttered trying to comfort her.

She nodded softly and slowly lifted her head to look at him, he forced a small smile on his face to reassure her, she whispered "Thank you" and sweetly kissed his cheek before replacing her head on his shoulder.

Both blushing shyly, sitting in the only spot of light for miles, they sat there together, staring out towards the outline of the city.

TTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTT

Meanwhile, peaking through the doorway was the rest of the titans watching the romantic scene before them.

Cyborg was watching Robins every move closely. Spark's still unsettled he needs to be careful...

Raven was watching with half interest while thinking, what am I doing up here?

Beast Boy was staring at the couple in disbelief, she kissed him, she really kissed him! Lucky son of a bat! Ha! Son of a bat, He laughed to himself

Starfire on the other hand felt very conflicted at the pair, A kiss on earth means much more than a kiss on my home planet... my friends seem very happy... that is good?...

Unknown to the titans, a figure was watching from the near shadows; silent, still and infuriated the silhouette folded their arms and raised its head in smug delight. In a tone that was barley a whisper it said, "What. A. Crime."

And then… it was gone.
