Ch 15
Robin had called a team meeting after breakfast. As all the Titans took their seats, Robin stood up to face his team. "Yesterday's battle-what happen can't happen again. We're Titans, we don't kill. We made that promise when we became a team."
"No one here wants to kill Robin but what happens when there's no other choice?" asked BB.
"The grass stain's got a point Rob," said Cy.
"Hey, I am not a gra-
"I agree. What must be done when a villain has taken things to far boyfriend Robin?"
"Being a hero means making difficult choices sometimes. Killing someone changes who you are. I've never gotten to the point. I never want to," said Robin. "We have to reinforce this law!"
"When I was little, a group of people came to my mother's home. Their intention was to kill her because she let me live. She was inside when she saw her home start to burn. I saw the mob on my way back from deep mediation. I got angry and the next thing I know the fire's gone, there are dead bodies on the floor of my mother's home, and there was blood, so much blood. I killed them. This wasn't the first time they harassed my mother or came to tell me what a monster I was. Something had to be done. I just wanted it to stop. I regret it to this day, and I can't take it back. I didn't know what else to do. I was just a child," she said as she felt Beast boy's warm hand on her back.
"I am very sorry what happened to you friend Raven."
"Thanks Starfire," said Raven.
"Man, that had to be tough. I couldn't imagine it," said Cy.
"I'm very sorry for what you and Beast boy have been through before the Titans but from here on out, no killing. There are other ways to keep villains contained," said Robin. "Understood."
"Yes," said Raven.
"Yeah," said BB.
"Oh and Beast boy," said Robin. "Nice work out there yesterday."
"Thanks Rob," BB smiled.
"Dismissed," said Robin as he walked out the door first and then the other Titans behind him.
