So I'm gonna hit the road again tomorrow, so this is gonna be the last chapter for awhile. And if it sucks, then I'm sorry. I'm writing this in like 90 degree heat in Fresno, so my head isn't exactly straight. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Rose sat next to her brother, who was lying unconscious on his bed. He looked deathly pale, and had lost a lot of blood. Wintergreen managed to save him, though. Rose sighed, and gently held her brother's hand. She tried to hold back her tears, but that failed. Salty tears leaked from her eyes as she grasped Jericho's hand tighter, "Joey," Rose whimpered. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't have gotten their sooner. I'm a horrible sister!"

Her shoulders began to bob up and down as she cried. She kept on murmuring "I'm sorry" over and over again. Rose buried herself into Jericho's shoulder, still sobbing. "What the fuck was wrong with Robin, Joey?" She whispered into his neck. "Why did he do this to you?" She continued to sob.

Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. Rose glanced up, and saw Jericho smiling at her gently. He gave her a look that said "Don't cry, I'm fine." Rose sniffed, and wiped her tears away. She then tackled Jericho into a hug, crying. Jericho hissed in pain, and Rose pulled away.

"Sorry." She muttered. Jericho gave her a gentle smile. Rose giggled, and smiled back. "I'm glad your alright, Joey." She told him. Jericho struck a heroic pose, which made Rose burst into laughter. Jericho smiled, before throwing his fist into the air, acting as if he was holding a sword. Rose laughed again, and gently embraced her brother. Jericho smiled, and hugged her back.

The two stayed in that position for a few minutes, before hearing someone clear their throat. They turned around, and saw Wintergreen standing at the doorway, holding a silver tray with tea. He smiled softly, and approached the siblings. "I'm glad to see the young master is awake." He said. Jericho waved at the family butler. Wintergreen chuckled as he poured the tea into two small cups. He handed them to the siblings, and they accepted them gratefully. Wintergreen watched them as they sipped their tea. Then he cleared his throat. "As much as it makes me happy to see you again, Master Joseph," he said. "I think we ought to know just what exactly you went through, if you don't mind."

Jericho sighed, and looked down. His eyes clouded with painful memories. He shook his head, trying to push them away. Rose placed a hand on her brother's shoulder, trying to calm him down. Jericho glanced at her, then shifted his eyes to Wintergreen, who was waiting patiently for him to speak. Jericho took a deep breath, and readied his hands.

"There's a tournament going on as we speak," he signed. "A tournament where titans form teams of two and fight one another for the top spot. Robin and Starfire have been champions ever since it started, three years ago." He glanced at the others, and they nodded for him to continue. "Starfire doesn't know this, but Robin has been cheating ever since the tournament started. He uses blackmail and files to break his biggest threats down." He felt tears in his eyes. "He used me to try to get rid of his biggest threats: Beast Boy and Kole. He said that if I didn't beat them in the tournament, then Herald and I would lose our memberships as titans forever." He closed his eyes, and Wintergreen and Rose glanced at one another, worry in their eyes.

"I didn't win, so Herald and I were kicked out," he continued. "Soon I got jealous of Beast Boy and Kole's relationship, and Robin took notice. He came to me, saying he could give me both Kole and my membership. He told me I needed to murder Beast Boy." Rose and Wintergreen's eyes widened, shocked that Robin would plot murder against his own teammate. Jericho began to cry. Rose placed a hand on his shoulder, whispering for him to continue.

"I refused, and he shot me," he signed. Then he began to beat me, and then you came." He shook his head. He began to cry more. "And the worst part is that I actually considered his deal! Part of me wanted to kill Beast Boy, so I could have Kole all to myself! I'm ashamed of thinking that." Rose shook her head.

"You shouldn't get mad at yourself, Joey," she told him. "We all get jealous. It's Robin you should be focusing your anger on. He tried to corrupt you." She smiled gently. "You were really brave, actually. You stood up for what's right in the end, and that is what truly matters. Dad would be proud, just like I am." Jericho sniffed, and looked up. Rose was smiling at him, and he couldn't help but smile back. Wintergreen thought for a moment.

"If Beast Boy and Kole are Robin's biggest threat," he thought out loud. "Then that means they could be in trouble." Jericho's eyes widened.

"You're right, Wintergreen!" He signed. "We have to help them!" Rose placed her hands on Jericho's shoulders.

"Calm down, Joey," she soothed. "It'll be OK. I know a friend that could help." She stood up, and turned to Wintergreen. "Take care of him, Wintergreen." She said. Then she walked out of the room.

When she reached her own room, she pulled out her cellphone. She dialed a number, and waited for the person to pick up. Then someone answered.

"Hello?" The person asked.

"Jade, it's me, Rose," Rose said. "Listen, I have a little favor to ask you..."

...

Kole was still crying, when she heard a knock on her door. Sighing, she stood up, and approached the door. She opened it, and Cyborg stood in front of her. "Listen, Kole," he said. "I need you to get Beast Boy." Kole shook her head.

"I already tried," she murmured. Then she tilted her head in confusion. "Why do you need him?" Cyborg sighed.

"Robin needs to speak with you two."

Oh shit! Lots of crazy stuff going down! Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!
