Gone

A day of defeat, one Titan gone, one Titan dying inside. The Titans entered the media room, bloody and bruised. Robin was the final Titan to enter. He trudged along slowly, rips in his clothes from sleeves to shoe. His hair was swept off from side to side, tears in his mask. Raven's cape was torn, her belt askew. Cyborg's various parts were scratched and he was missing wires all over body. Beast Boy, well he was simply Beast Boy, but covered in scars.

They all sat down on the couch to rest after their defeat. All except for Robin, he went to his bedroom and wallowed in the darkness. The doors slid open before him and when he entered he locked them. He didn't want to be disturbed in his time of suffering. He went to his bed, and sat down. On his bedside table was a picture of himself and Starfire from when they were crowned prom king and queen. Her beautiful purple dress had flowed around her that night, perfectly framing her small, beautiful body. Her eyes had glimmered like Stars that night.

"Starfire isdead and it's all my fault!" He yelled.

But he simply couldn't bear that thought. His mind raced over the happenings of that day. But it couldn't have been his fault, no it couldn't have. Anger rushed all over his body, pulsing through his veins, invading every fiber of his being. He thrust the picture on the ground, and as he stormed out his foot broke the frame of the picture. Smashing the glass and leaving a light foot print over his and Starfires' faces.

He ran, storming into the media room, not bothering to change his clothes. His pace picked up when his eyes locked on Beast Boy. Robin wrapped his hands around Beast boys next and slammed him up against the wall, cutting off his airways. Beast boy turned into a snake, and dropped from the wall, and Robins grasp.

Beast Boy sped to the other side of the room, trying to find somewhere to hide. He went on the counter and slid into a bowel containing various foods, and he hoped he would blend in enough so that robin couldn't see.

"Rob stop!" yelled Cyborg.

But Robin's anger was endless. He found Beast Boy in the bowel, and shoved his snake head into a glass of water, the glass of water he had been in that morning. He was trying to drown Beast Boy. But he morphed again, this time into a pterodactyl, and stayed at the ceiling, hoping Robin couldn't climb. Yet his attempts were in vain. Robin took the grappling hook out of his pocket and attached it to the ceiling. He was able to get onto Beast Boys back, and lock his arm around his pterodactyl neck. Again he tried to choke Beast Boy.

He changed back into his original form, a young boy. They hit the floor with a thud and Cyborg grabbed Robin by the arms and pulled him back. Raven knelt down next to Beast Boy, and lifted his head up in her hands. Robin kicked as hard as he could, trying to make Cyborg release him so that he could go back to trying to kill Beast Boy.

"Yo, Raven, I could use some help here," Cyborg.

She shot up an arm, still cradling Beast Boy in the other. A dark circle appeared around him, and Cyborg released him. He attempted to kick his way out but shields were almost impenetrable. Robin should have known better, when he hit the black outer layer it delivered a shock that went through his body. A specialty of Ravens, only used in dire situations.

"He still has a pulse, but Robin almost killed him," Raven said with relief in her normally monotone voice.

"We need to get him some professional help, some things really wrong with him," explained Cyborg.

"But what about, what about," Raven stammered.

"I'll take care of him, but I can't move the field without my circuits being fried, I'm not even sure I can move it," he sighed.

"Fine," Said Raven.

The field was slightly hovering above the ground, and Cyborg walked over. Raven was reluctant to give up Beast Boy, but decided that maybe it was better to get him off of the floor. Cyborg looked at her and picked up a limp Beast Boys frail body. She raised her arm up again, and the force field gently moved forward.

Robin was resisting the shocking sensation that was going through him as he tried to break through the seemingly impenetrable field of Ravens magic. He was able to slightly shake it off course, but never fully destroy it. Raven was able to lead the orb down into the basement, where there were three cells. Meant for simply the most dangerous of all criminals. Even Slade would be too weak for one of these. Ravens father would hardy meet the standards.

The orb drifted into one of the rooms, decorated only with white walls. Escape was physically impossible. Robins orb released him, only when all doors were sealed. At the very edge of the cell, there was a small room; that specified people could speak to the prisoners. Raven entered it, after taking a security procedure to verify her identity. She then entered the small room and sat down, Robin walked to the same room, except inside of his cell.

"Is he, did I, well, did I kill Beast Boy?" He stammered.

"No, he still has a pulse. We saved him, but if you had choked him for any longer, we would be another member down," she said.

"I'm, I'm so, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt him, it just, it just sort of. I was so, I was just so angry. He, he," Robin stammered again.

"He what?" asked Raven.

"It's, it's. He's the one that suggested the beach. He's, it's his," Robin said.

"It's his what?" Raven pressed.

"It's his fault that. He's the reason that."

"Robin I need you to tell me. If you had killed Beast Boy, you would be classified as just another criminal. Another criminal that we would have to take down. You would be no better than, you wouldn't be any better than Slade," Raven said.

"I am nothing like Slade," Robin said calmly.

"Then tell me why you tried to kill Beast Boy," she said.

"It's his fault that Starfires dead."
