Second Chance

Chapter 6

Told you I'd be back around 6. So, the next chapter begins, involving mind control, threats to the Man of Steel, and falling. Thanks to Swkid223, and in answer to your question, he does get found in this chapter, the Team doesn't learn about it until the next one. On with the story!

I STILL OWN NOTHING!

Escape (Sort Of)

"Robin, what did they DO to you?!"

"Not important right now. Raven?"

"Yes?"

"Can you detect psychic links?"

"Uh, no. Why do you ask?"

"No reason."

Robin had blocked his link to the Team in case Raven was able to sense it, but if she couldn't...

Okay, I'm back.

Why did you block us?

False alarm.

Suddenly, another voice cut in.

But this isn't.

Psimon!

Yes indeed.

Robin couldn't feel his friends' minds anymore.

Team, come in! Guys, PLEASE! Answer me!

Ah, ah, ah, no more mindlink for you.

You dissolved the link! That's not all I did...

The Titans turned to face Robin.

"Sheka!"

And with that, he was gone.

Mt. Justice

Robin!

The Team called to the young bird desperately, but he wouldn't answer.

"It's no use!" M'Gann cried. "The link's been severed. He can't hear us."

"Robin..." Zatanna whispered sadly. "Robin, where are you..."

It hurt. A lot. Robin's ankle would barely support him, he felt like someone was stabbing him in the chest every time he breathed in, and his head was pounding so hard he could barely think. He remembered telling Cyborg he could win a fight between them in twenty seconds. Right now, he would be lucky to survive that long. Robin had heard Psimon order the Titans to kill him. In his current state, he stood no chance. A part of him just wanted to give up, but he would be damned if he didn't go down fighting. He reached the roof of the building and looked around. Then he smirked.

"Idiots," he cackled, "they brought me to the one place I'm sure to get rescued!"

Then Cyborg slammed into him. Robin pulled away and Robinglared at Psimon. The mindlink with the Team had completely brought back his memories-or possibly it was the concussion-, allowing him to remember exactly where he was. Metropolis. The idiots had brought him to Metropolis. If Robin hadn't been in so much pain, he would have laughed at their stupidity. Instead, he screamed as loud as he could,

"SUPERMAN! HELP!"

Superman would hear him, and he would come. It was only a case of surviving until the Man of Steel arrived... Starfire came out of nowhere and punched the bird in the head.

The only thing that kept him alive was his lightening reflexes, pulling away just enough that the blow didn't kill him. Please don't black out, please don't black out... He couldn't last much longer... where was Kent?

"BOY SCOUT, IF YOU DON'T GET HERE ASAP, BATMAN WILL KILL YOU WHEN HE FINDS OUT!"

Robin kept dodging attacks, but he knew that if Clark didn't arrive soon, he was dead. Suddenly, he felt Starfire's fist in his head again, pulled away again, but this time, his vision began to blur. NO! He was dead. His consciousness was fading, and as Starfire began to shove him towards the edge, he knew what was going to happen. He was going to fall. Like his parents. He would never see the others again.

"Starfire...please..."

But the Tameranian was unmoved. His vision started to go black, and he began to fall. As his body picked up speed, he thought he heard Superman scream his name. A bit late Clark. That was the last thing Robin knew before he passed out.

Annd... HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN! Don't hunt me down for killing/almost killing Robin, or you'll never know what happens next! I'll try to post chapter 7 tomorrow. Don't kill me until then. *Robinglare* You guys have been great at reviewing! Also, quick thanks to everyone who's favourited or is following me or this story. So, until next time, and
