Ch. 16-Betrayed by Shadows

(Jay's POV)

I smiled as the Titans led Robin into the room. It was exactly what he needed; to know that there were other people who cared for him, truly cared for him. I had finally breathed a sigh of relief when Robin let out a heart wrenching scream. Before any of us could move, Robin was on the ground, shouting in pain.

"Robin," Cyborg, the closest to Robin, went to help his friend when suddenly Robin flipped off the floor and planted his foot into Cyborg's jaw.

"Yo! What the-

Robin landed on the far end of the room near the door. His eyes were wild like an animal's and his lips were pulled back in a snarl. He quickly pulled out his bo staff and narrowed his eyes, staring at each of us. I grabbed my bo staff from my pocket and extended it, defensively putting it in front of me.

Robin, seeming to take this as a challenge in this furious state, lunged for me. Whipping my bo staff around, I managed to hit him in the chest and send him flying across the room. Using the momentum to flip himself back near the door, he growled and then sprinted down the hall.

"He's headed for the main control room!" Cyborg shouted. "He's gonna cut the power!"

"What is wrong with him?" Starfire asked worriedly.

"Who cares, we gotta stop him before we're all in the dark!" Cyborg barked, pointing to the hallway Robin had just run down. "This way!"

Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire sped off right after Cyborg. After putting my bo staff away, I began to follow when I heard a voice, calm and collected, behind me.

"Hello Reyna."

Spinning around, my eyes widened as I saw Slade on the big screen. However, the shock soon passed and my eyes narrowed.

"Slade," I hissed. "What do you want?"

Slade only laughed. "Oh Reyan," he replied, "it's not what I want from you, but what you want from me."

TTTTTTTTTT

The four Titans were sprinting down the hallway, when Beast Boy suddenly stopped.

"Jay's not behind us," Beast Boy realized as he looked around.

"We don't have time for this," Raven grabbed his arm and began to pull him down the hall. "She probably went a different way."

"Come on guys, we're almost there-

Cyborg's sentence was cut off as the lights flickered out, leaving them in total darkness.

"Not good," Beast Boy said worriedly, trying to see through the darkness. Starfire created a star bolt in her hand, which provided some light for the four of them.

"Friends, what should we do now?" Starfire asked.

"We need to find some light," Cyborg explained. "We can't fight Robin in the dark, he'll have the upper hand."

"Then we need to head somewhere outside the tower," Raven pointed up.

"The roof?" Beast Boy asked.

"The moon is full tonight," Raven replied. "We should be able to see better than in here."

"But how are we going to get Robin to follow us," Starfire wondered. Suddenly a sharp S penetrated the darkness with its silver gleam. The S caught Raven in the arm just as a sharp kicking sound echoed around the hallway, followed by Cyborg's gasps for air.

Starfire managed to catch a glimpse of Robin before he flipped out of the way. Thinking quickly, Starfire looked above her to see Robin zooming down toward her. Creating a star bolt, she threw it at Robin, which sent him flying through the roof, effectively creating a hole for their escape.

"Hurry friends," Starfire called as she flew through the hole. Beast Boy followed close behind. Cyborg was up next and went over to Raven, who had ripped off a piece of her cloak and was wrapping it around her arm.

"Raven, are you alright?" Cyborg asked.

"I'll be fine," Raven replied. "It was just a scratch. Let's go. Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven began to zoom toward the whole, while the floor beneath Cyborg broke off and carried him through to the roof.

Once he got up there, Cyborg's gut twisted. There Robin was, fighting Beast Boy and Starfire furiously. The scene reminded Cyborg of an old memory, but he swatted it aside and went to help.

"Friend!" Starfire yelled as she hurled star bolts at Robin. "We do not wish to harm you! Please stop!"

Robin only snarled in response and threw bombs at Starfire, barely missing. Beast Boy lunged at Robin as a ram, but Robin grabbed his horns and flung him into Raven. For a moment, the fighting ceased and Robin was standing there, breathing raggedly.

"Dude," Cyborg put his hands up. "We don't want to fight you."

Robin only narrowed his crazed eyes as he glanced from Cyborg to Raven and Beast Boy, and then to Starfire. He began to move his hand toward his bo staff. Seeing this, Raven shot a small pebble to knock his hand away.

And then the fighting began again.

Robin flipped over Raven and threw various bombs, with one actually hitting her, causing her to fall to the ground. Beast Boy attempted to wrap around Robin's legs as a snake, but Robin only grabbed Beast Boy by the mouth and used him to wrap up Cyborg. But as he turned around, he came face to face with Starfire, who had a star bolt at the ready. Gripping a bird-a-rang, Robin pulled it up and got into a position.

Abruptly, Starfire extinguished the star bolt and placed her hand at her side.

"Some things do not change Robin," Starfire spoke softly, looking at Robin imploringly. "I cannot live in a world where we must fight. If you are truly evil…do what you must…"

Robin's fierce expression faltered for a moment. His hand still gripped the bird-a-rang, but his other hand twitched nervously. Opposing feelings clashed in his mind, making him immobile.

Starfire on the other hand, began to smile. "Friend," she began. "Come with-

Suddenly Robin fell to the ground, as the roof exploded in smoke.

"Friends!" Starfire coughed. "Where are you? I cannot see anything!"

"I'm over here!" Cyborg called from the opposite end of the roof.

The smoke cleared as Raven used her powers to push the plume off the roof.

"Where is Robin?" Starfire asked, for the spot where Robin had fallen was empty. After a looking around the roof, she spoke again.

"Where is Beast Boy?"

TTTTTTTTTTT

(Beast Boy's POV)

No, this couldn't be right. This just couldn't be. There was no way this could be happening.

Running through the streets of Jump, he kept his eyes glued to the shadowy figure carrying Robin across the city. When the smoke had erupted, he had managed to catch a glimpse of Robin being taken, so he hurried after them. But now he was wishing he hadn't. Because every now and then, he would catch glimpses of the figure's spiky orange hair.

*But why?* he thought to himself. *What is Jay doing with Robin?*

She and Robin suddenly escaped from Beast Boy's vision. Staying still on the rooftop he had just landed on, Beast Boy looked around furiously to try and find them again. But he had blown it. There was no way he could find them now.

Yet as Beast Boy was looking, he caught sight of someone else; another figure moving along the shadows. Only Beast Boy knew who that one was.

"Slade," he hissed, and made his way over where he saw Slade's figure.

When he found Slade, Beast Boy's eyes almost dropped out of their sockets. There was Jay! And she had Robin! They were in an alley below him.

"I was beginning to think you weren't going to hold up your end of the bargain," Slade hissed.

"Here," Jay tossed Robin's lifeless body over to Slade, who caught it easily. Beast Boy watched horrified as Jay didn't argue, or fight, or even glare at Slade.

After placing Robin on his shoulder, Slade spoke again as he crept backward from her,

"Feels good following orders again, doesn't it Reyna."


MWA HA HA! Evil Robin...and Evil Jay! I hope you guys liked it, a little something different!

Question such and such:

Should Beast Boy confront Jay about her betrayal first or tell the Titans about her betrayal first?
