HI EVERYONE! I'm not dead. I'm sorry to disappoint you all. Anyways I know it's been since MAY OK!? I KNOW! I'm a bad fanfic author. Please don't throw bricks at me, I'm trying. OT be honest this whole pandemic has just made me feel... very meh and blegh... and I haven't been wanting to do ANYTHING creative, at all. So I'm sorry this has suffered, I just haven't had the urge or wanting to write... and I rather drop you guys a chapter that I WANTED to write instead of forced. I'm sorry, forgive me?

I want to thank everyone that has read this while I've been away and thank you for giving it a chance. All you reviewers, honestly you are all the best, and the reason I keep writing this thing. Even tho it's been since May... Thank you all

Asilla next chapter is all yours, I kinda been writing this one on and off and I just wanted to push something out. I'm sorry =( I hope your well. This pandemic is crazy, and I just... kinda shut myself out of here...and yea. My bad.

I also want to thank dlsky for the advice, I only wish I had done it a bit sooner.

This chapter is a bit of a filler, I'm sorry but it's a bit of the aftermath of all the other shit that went on.

Anyways enough of me, ON WITH THE STORY!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Deep below the rubble that was once a historic church lay two bodies. One is beyond repair, the other... Aurora smiled softly. Everything had gone as planned. She was correct, it did work, she really should of given her more faith in her abilities. She had let them all astray after all. It was time to bring her back into the fold. Aurora's summons would not go uncalled.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two weeks. It's been a full two weeks, and he can't get the incident out of his head. The gun in his hands, the recoil that shook his arm every time he fired, his anger, his rage. She was dead. He was dead. Both of them... gone. And so were a bunch more by his hand. In this aftermath, he thought the act would be more... distasteful to him, that it would be Slade to make him pull the trigger. But he did that all by himself. He thought it would leave a bitter taste in his mouth after everything was said and done. He thought he would be going mad with guilt. He had killed so many, but as far as he was concerned they had all deserved it. Every last one of them. The only guilt he felt was not getting her. He had stabbed her in the back. The blood soaked through her nice white once pristine suit, but all she had done was mock him in the end.

He was angry more then anything. Angry and a bit depressed he had to admit. They had come back to the cabin in the woods. Jillian's cabin in some rural area of France, Sariel's grandmother... She didn't take it well. It was expected. She was mostly quiet for these last two weeks. The only family she had left and... now she was gone.

Robin was surprised regarding Slade's kindness to his old friend. The two talked for awhile. There was no blame tossed around, simply remembrance that night they had arrived back on her doorstep. Jillian telling stories, soft laughter and tears. It was a solemn evening. One that will last with him until the day he dies.

Asif was doing better then he thought he'd turn out, more so that perhaps Robin was beginning to think he was the one that become soft. The two had talked of revenge. To kill Aurora. To murder all that serve her. To put an end to the ben Elohim. But even Robin knew at this time that it just wasn't possible. They would have to manipulate every action, every word spoken. It would take time. They would have their revenge. But first thing was first, in order to dismantle the ben Elohim, he would have to raze the Justice League to the ground. Doing so would just be enough to gain her attention and... then what? That part he hadn't figured out yet. Killing every member of the Justice league wasn't something you could just walk out and do and he would know. But maybe he didn't have to. Maybe there was a way to bring them crashing down just long enough to get to her...? He couldn't stop it all in the end. His own mind consumed him. All of these thoughts have been running through his head every day since they had arrived. Slade had wanted him to take it easy while they were here. But his mind was reeling. Relaxation just couldn't come to him in any shape or form.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I see the boy finally decided to quit the hero show." she chuckled softly. The woman had taken them all in regardless the horrible news they brought to her doorstep. "Did they become friends out there?'

"Sariel and Robin? Yes, they did for the time." Slade replied. The two were sitting at her kitchen tablet. The woman had made some coffee and had offered some to her old acquaintance. "We need to be leaving soon."

"He isn't taking it well."

"No." Slade had sighed a little. "I suppose he's not."

"Leaving to go about your business Slade won't ease his mind, even if you plan to take him to a tropical island to get some R and R. He's still stuck there. He's still in that loop. I knew what my granddaughter was getting into, I knew what she signed up for. I didn't want her to die. Much less be... murdered in such a way. I can't even bury her Slade. The boy... he's reliving it every moment, day in and day out. It can't leave him. First kills do that... but from what you told me he slaughtered a whole room Slade. The boy is angry at them, the world, even himself. He feels he failed. Not for killing those that took her, he's mad because he couldn't save her. Some of the hero still lingers. He believes he failed Sariel."

"And did he?" Slade's tone had taken a harsh turn.

"You know who I blame Slade and it's those blasted Illuminati's she was chasing around. She got to far in, too deep. I told her to be careful..." Jillian looked away for a moment and took in a deep breath before she exhaled. "She never did listen though. If the two had become friends, he lost someone important to him. And he took revenge. It's enough to fuck with anyone's mind Slade, you know that."

It was the masterminds turn to let out a sigh. "I suppose your right."

She cracked a smile then. "I know I'm right. Where do you plan to go anyways?"

"For now, it is probably in our best interest to lay low since it seems our activities where on the news the other night. I don't need any Titans around. I also have to let everyone else know in the Society about our little adventure."

"I could let them know."

Slade chuckled, "But your retired remember? Regardless, if I don't return home soon Wintergreen will have my hide."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two weeks and he had tried to locate Robin again. He lost him, and he couldn't believe that he had slipped through his fingers. It took him much longer then he had anticipated the first time around to find his son. But now... after their little argument in the church... There was nothing about the boy. No leads, no intel. Nothing. He just... disappeared. Obviously Slade had gone underground. Laying low... Richard along with him, and the idea of that had pissed him off beyond words.

He hadn't told Alfred yet and the elderly butler was growing more and more concerned by the second. Bruce had returned home empty handed. He had went down to the Batcave the evening he returned and he had not left since. Which had put a lot more stress onto Alfred's shoulders. The butler did worry for Master Bruce. But he knew that Bruce was holding something from him. Exactly what, he didn't know. Regardless, Alfred had a lot more questions now then he had answers.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Are you sure about this BB?" The green Titan had insisted that the young man he saw on the news that night was Robin, it had to be. It looked so much like him. Even without the mask on. Although they couldn't be sure. None of them had ever seen Robin without his mask. Regardless though, Beast Boy had insisted on making them all watch the clip again.

The youngest Titan whipped around to poke a finger at Cyborg "Dude I showed you guys, it was him!"

"It certainly did look like our friend Robin." Starfire smiled a little, hopeful in their current quest to find their lost team member and leader.

"It did look like him." Raven had entered the conversation. "A lot like him. If only he hadn't shut his mind to me."

"If it is him friends, then should we not go and try to rescue Robin?"

"Not that easy Star. What Beast Boy showed us, it happened 2 weeks ago, and in Berlin. Plus they are a lot of time ahead of us, about nine hours exactly. If it was him, then by this time he could be anywhere. Being on the other side of the world puts you basically a day ahead."

Starfire looked to the ground. "But we must try something."

"Don't worry Star." Cyborg had placed a hand on her shoulder "We are going to do what we can. I already contacted some of our honorary Titans. They'll keep their eyes peeled. They have been notified that we believe Robin is alive. But something has forced him go underground."

"Something or more like someone." Beast boy huffed. He was sure Slade was behind all of this. As were the other Titans. But without proof or any leads, they were kind of left empty handed.

"But still... to end up in some pub, in the middle of a fight. Doesn't seem like him." Raven wondered aloud. "It doesn't make sense."

Starfire smiled a little at her friend. "I am sure that once Robin returns to us, he will explain all that we need to know."

"Nah I'm with Raven on this one. Something don't add up, and the Justice League ain't gonna help us any time soon."

"So what do we do dudes?"

Cyborg smirked. "We find him ourselves."

"But... friend Cyborg, the city?"

"Relax girl, I can get Titans East to help out for awhile."

"Sooo... where do we even begin?" Raven brought up a world map. "That recording was taken in Berlin, and it didn't exactly show any details on where he may of gone afterwards."

"Well then, I guess the only place to start is our only lead, the pub. Everyone get your lederhosen, we're going to Berlin."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I know! I know, it's short. Longer chapters in the future.

So what does everyone think the Titans will find in Germany? Actual lederhosen? Lederhosen on sale for a great deal! Schnitzel? Amazing chocolate? Currywurst? All these things and more. Oh yea did you pay attention to the first bit?

I more or less just wanted to give you guys a short brief look into the direction of what I may or may not be doing lol.

Later guys
