He watched her sleeping from the window outside the room. Her broken body just lie in a coma and there was nothing Robin could do but carefully monitor her status, hoping for a change in her diagnosis. It had been weeks and nothing had changed. The others could tell what kind of toll it was having on their fearless leader.
"She'll be ok," Cyborg said, "She's a tough girl, she'll pull through."
Robin just shrugged. He knew she was strong, physically, but it always seemed Starfire had a weakness when it came to her spirit. Yes, she was spirited but her heart broke for so many and while she always sacrificed herself for others, it seemed almost impossible that she could find the strength to save herself.
"I have to find him; I have to make him pay for what he did to her." Robin said with a voice darker than Cyborg had ever heard.
"Don't worry, man, we will; Raven, Beast Boy and I are continuously switching watch of the monitor in case anything comes up."
"No, this is personal! He won't get away with this, and I'm going to be the one to find him and bring him down."
"Robin," said Raven walking towards them, "don't do anything stupid. It won't do anybody any good if you get hurt to."
"Yea, man, you'll end up in the bed right next to her." Beast Boy said.
Robin wasn't even paying attention. He only thought of killing the person who hurt her; the girl who had completely turned her life around. Unknowingly, she had the power to bring him back to the bright side of life, something not even the Dark Knight had been able to do.
After everyone had gone to bed, Robin quietly stared at the monitor, cross referencing anything and everything he could to get a clue as to where Drake might be. He had examined a ton pf places, but nothing seemed to fit. Finally, he came across what said to be an old abandoned house off the sea. It seemed to fit, seeing as how majority of Drake's attacks had been from sea. His gut told him this was the place so to the house he prepared to go. Once he gathered all of the necessary equipment, he made one last pit stop.
Careful not to disturb the other Titans, Robin walked briskly down the hall and stopped by the infirmary. He quietly walked into the room. It was the closest he had gotten to her since the incident. He sat on her bed and touching her face he then lowered his head and whispered in her ear
"I'm sorry I was never there for you like you were there for me. If I have to die so that you will live, then so be it."
Bringing his head back away from her ear, he leaned in, as if to kiss her lips, then deciding against it, he slowly got up and walked out the door and out of the Tower.
Author's note: So, here is the second chapter. I've decided to put up a few chapters and see how it goes, 4 to be exact. If you want more then review and let me know.
