Monkey Girl 13624: Thanks! Reviews like this always make me smile :P
Thaliag.2: I got a little lazy at the end, sorry XP Thanks for the constructive criticism, it's definitely what I need right now; without criticism, I start to get a little lazy (as seen at the end of the last chapter)
YAAAAAY MORE STUFFS!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, Batman, or the Justice League (my dreams aren't real, sorry guys)
Robin awoke to a slight shake on the shoulder. "C'mon," a voice murmured. "It's time to get up."
Robin groaned and rolled over, pulling the blankets over his head. "Dude…" Robin groaned. "The bats are probably still wide awake."
The next thing he knew, his blankets were pulled away from him, and Robin opened his eyes, watching Cyborg grasp his blankets.
"Don't make me drag you down there; it's just a review on the battle plans." Cyborg threatened.
"Then why does it have to be at four in the morning?"
"How should I know? Raven scheduled it, and when I tried to convince her to make it later, well…it didn't go as planned…" Cyborg absent mindedly rubbed the bump on his head.
"I'll be back in five minutes." Cyborg continued, throwing Robin's uniform on his bed. "We got one of your uniforms back from the tower; you won't have to go around maskless anymore."
Cyborg closed the door, and Robin hastily changed, putting his mask on for the first time in about a week. He smiled at the familiarity of his uniform, the one thing remaining of his crime fighting life.
A few minutes later, Robin arrived at the meeting. He sat next to Starfire, who squeezed his hand extremely tight for the procedure of the meeting, which somehow managed to last two hours.
"To recap," Raven said. "We'll split into pairs, and will attack the Joining's mothership, which is hovering over Titans Tower. Robin and Kid Flash will head towards the boss, while everyone else will weaken the entries to let them pass. After the head Joining is disengaged, we can-"
But Raven was cut off by a loud boom, and then the roof caved in. Debris exploded around them, and Raven desperately tried to hold up the rocks with her mind. Other titans pitched in, holding up rocks so they wouldn't hit others.
All except Robin.
Robin's throat tightened. Flashbacks streamed through his mind of when his injury developed, the rocks crashing on his back, the glass piercing his skin…
He wasn't even aware of backing up into the wall, and Starfire held his hand. "Robin? Robin, what is wrong? Robin?"
"I…I'm fine…" Robin murmured, holding onto Starfire's hand tightly. "Just need to…sit down, or…"
Suddenly, Starfire was screaming. Robin watched, helpless, as a large boulder hit Starfire on the head, knocking her out on the spot. "Star?" Robin whispered, bending down to Starfire and shaking her shoulder. "Star!"
Robin watched as the Joining robots flooded into the room, holding small needles in their hands. Robin, paralyzed by both the falling rocks and Starfire's state, didn't even notice the needle plunge into his arm, and didn't think about anything besides Starfire as he, too, fell unconscious.
