Tower

To say the least, Raven had been surprised. She was the first one to wake up and come to the living room of the Tower. She was never the first awake. Robin always woke up first. She looked at the time: it was 8:30 in the morning. She tried to hide her small sliver of a smile: "I beat you today, Bird Boy." She thought to herself, triumphantly.

Only ten minutes later, Raven heard the door open and, without turning around, replied "Sleeping in today? That's unlike you."

"What do you mean, Raven?" Came Cyborg's deep-voiced, confused response "I woke up early today."

"Huh?" Raven responded as she turned and saw he half robotic friend/teammate. That's odd. "Sorry, I was expecting Robin."

"What? You mean he isn't up yet?" Cyborg asked, surprised. Everyone knew he was the first to wake up, despite how late he went to sleep. "Are you sure he isn't training in the gym?"

"I didn't check." Raven replied, "But he usually finishes before we all wake up."

"Maybe he is sleeping in, today?" Came a younger, less deep voice. Beast boy.

On the outside, Raven didn't show any emotion, but on the inside he had surprised her. She had no idea when he came out, but he was there. The changeling was in the shape of a green cat, and he was laying down by the foot of the team's sofa.

"He did go to bed even later than usual last night, didn't he?" Beast boy asked.

"I don't know, we were all asleep." Cyborg responded.

"Do you think we should check up on him?" Beast boy asked.

"You can, I don't have a death wish, and I don't plan on having Robin kill me for waking him up." Cyborg stated incredulously as he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

The room had stayed quiet for another ten minutes until Starfire, the team's resident red-haired alien.

"Good morning, friends!" Came Starfire's cheerful greeting.

"Mornin', Star." Came Beast Boy's and Cyborg's voice from the kitchen.

Starfire looked around the room and noticed the one team member missing, their leader Robin.

"Where is friend Robin?" Starfire asked, surprised.

"We think he's asleep in his room." Raven answered, casually, as she turned another page in her book.

"I shall go wake him, so we can all partake in eating together" Starfire replied, as she flew out of the room and back into the hall.

"Should we stop her?" Beast Boy asked Cyborg.

"Nah, those two are close, he wouldn't grouch at he too badly." Cyborg responded, "Or, at least, I don't think he would."

When a couple minutes passed without Starfire returning, with or without Robin, the trio in the living room decided to investigate. The group walked down the hall and to where they knew Robin's room was located. Outside the room, they saw a distraught Starfire outside the room, knocking repeatedly on the door. That's when she noticed the rest of the team.

"Friend Robin is not responding." Starfire answered their unasked question.

"What do you mean he's not responding? You're knocked loud enough to wake the dead." Cyborg said as he gave a look at the door, which now had a few dents. Robin probably wouldn't like that.

Raven glanced at the door, but she didn't feel anyone on the other side.

"I don't think he's in there." She announced.

"If he's not there, not training and not in the living room, then where else would he be?" Beast Boy asked.

"I don't know, but something feels… weird." Raven said. "I'm going to open the door."

"You're going to go in Robin's room?!" Cyborg said in disbelief. "You know no one is allowed in Robin's room."

It was too late. Raven had already began her spell, and the doors glowed black. Suddenly, they were pulled open by her energy, and what was on the other side of the door surprised everyone.

There was nothing. Their leader's room was completely cleared out.

"No way." Beast Boy whispered as he walked into the room.

"What happened here?" Cyborg asked.

"Everything's gone." Came Starfire's disbelieving tone.

"Not everything." Raven said, looking on Robin's bed. The whole team saw it. A simple, red flash-drive.

I'm going to check what's on it." Cyborg announced as he picked it up, carried it to the monitor in the main room, and plugged it in. When he opened the files listing for the flash-drive, he only saw one file on it whose name was "To the Titans." "Huh?" he thought to himself.

"The only thing on it is a video file named 'To the Titans.'" Cyborg informed the team.

"Play it!" Beast Boy said, eagerly.

"I'm on it." Cyborg informed them as he started the video

On the Tower's big monitor, Robin's figure suddenly appeared sitting on his bed, in his costume, and staring at the camera. Face as unreadable as ever, Robin looked straight at them through the screen.

"Hello, everyone." Robin said, voice as steady as steel. "I suppose you wonder why I'm not there."

Yes they were all wondering what was happening.

"I can't lead the Titans anymore." He said, calmly. That sent a shock through everyone. "I'm no longer your leader. I'm passing the title down to Cyborg. I know he can handle it. Good bye, everyone" and with that the video ended.

Everyone was speechless. Several minutes passed by before anyone could say anything.

"What just happened?" Beast Boy's stunned reply came first.

"Did…. Did Robin just resign?" Raven asked.

"Why would friend Robin leave?" Came Starfire's confused question.

Each of them turned to Cyborg, who was apparently the new leader. He was still stunned.

"Cy, you all right?" Beast Boy asked. Cyborg looked shell-shocked and about to faint.

"Give him some room." Raven told the other two. "Just stay calm, Cyborg."

Dick Grayson drove through Gotham's snow covered streets. He was freezing, but he was also close to home. It was practically in sight. His thoughts had been wandering ever slightly to Alfred, Barbra, Jason and Bruce. How much had changed since he left?

He entered the manor's gates and pulled up to the door. He had almost forgot how amazing his home was, and he had also forgot how amazing Alfred was, too, because right before he even knocked Alfred already had it open and was offering him a cup of hot cocoa.

"Thanks, Alfred." Dick said as he accepted the cup with a small smile. There was nothing like having a fresh cup of Alfred's cocoa.

"You're welcome, and welcome home, Master Richard." Alfred said with a warm smile. "Bruce is in his room, and Miss Gordon is comforting Master Jason."

"I'm going to check on Bruce." Dick said as he hurried through the manor, while Alfred went to inform Barbra and Jason of the other bat's arrival.

When he got into the room, he didn't like what he saw. There laid the man he considered a father in what appeared to be a casual night's sleep, but he knew that wasn't what it was. He walked over to sit on the edge of the bed.

"They probably had to pull a lot of strings to allow you to be taken care of in your own home." Dick stated, voice slightly downcast. "Listen, Bruce, if you can hear me, then I want to make amends for the last time we spoke to each other." His voice almost felt the need to crack.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said. I know you were only looking out for me, and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that." He looked at his father again. "You better wake up soon, so I can tell you this to your face, but until then I'll take over for you. I'll make sure Joker gets what he deserves."

With that, Dick walked to the living room to join the others.

"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Dick." Barbra said, with a small smile.

"I could say the same you, Babs." Dick returned with a matching smile. "And you, too, Jason."

"Dick, I can't believe you're back!" Jason said as he ran into his brother's arms.

"Sorry that it's been so long," Dick said, regretful," I wish that it would've been under better circumstances."

"It's okay, you're here now." Barbra said, her voice radiating with kindness. She was just how he remembered. They were all just how he remembered.
