Chapter 1:

raven

'Azrath, metrion, zinthos,' chanted raven as she sat on the roof. It was 5 in the morning... a perfect time for meditation. As she sat there, levitating a few inches above the ground… her mind wandered onto the distance, leaving her worries behind. She was at complete ease until a whirlwind of emotion struck her so hard that she fell… she stood up on shaky knees and looked around 'where were those thoughts coming from?' thought raven as she went downstairs… occupied in her own thoughts as she bumped into Cyborg on the way 'whoa Rae, whats the rush?' asked cyborg as he helped Raven up 'nothing… just leave me alone' replied raven she was too busy to listen to anybody right now… especially Cyborg. She hurried to her room, with Cyborg staring at her back…utterly confused. Raven closed the door and slowly sat on her bed… trying to meditate but unfortunately she was hit by the same whirlwind of emotion but it was a bit weaker than before. She had to find the source or else she would never be able to meditate. 'Azrath,Metrion,Zinthos' she chanted again…clearing her mind once more and stretching out her senses, in her soul self… in search of the thoughts that had knocked her down… twice and suddenly she sensed powerful vibes coming from the left. She followed them; they were coming from Robin's room. At first, she felt angry… she had half a mind to go and tell him to get over whatever it was troubling him but then again… Robin had always been the type of a person to mask his feelings…so what could it possibly be that was bothering him so much? But unfortunately her thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on her door… she broke away from her meditation, fuming, she opened her door 'good morning friend raven' said starfire in her cheery voice 'would you like to accompany me to the kitchen?' at first, Raven wanted to say 'no' but Starfire looked so hopeful that she finally gave in and followed her to the living room where Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing games…as usual and fighting over them as well... at least somebody was carefree. 'Would you like some mustard?' asked starfire 'erm… no thanks' said raven uncertainly as starfire held out a mustard bottle to her 'im not hungry' 'oh…no worries…I will enjoy the pleasures of mustard by myself then' said starfire with slight disappointment in her voice. Raven sighed and sat on the couch, watching the two boys play their pointless video games

robin

'NO!' robin wok up with a start…sweat dripping from his forehead, he looked at his sheets… there were blood stains on them which meant that he had been thrashing around in his sleep again…he lied down , breathing heavily … he remembered the dream too clearly… slade had been standing there, mocking him, saying that he wasn't a worthy opponent and he would do better to join him while the offer was still at hand 'I was expecting more of a challenge' slade had said as Robin was on his knees… bleeding, holding his side 'did you really think you could beat me? How pathetic … join me and I will get rid of your weakness…I will help you' slade had extended his hand and robin had almost took it. He stared at his own hand in disbelief he had almost submitted to slade… … how could he almost betray his own team? He thought with guilt but then again… it was only a dream he would never betray them in reality…… would he?. He just pushed the thought away from his mind and sat up again, calming down a little… he heaved himself to the bathroom…changed and went to the living room to get some breakfast but his thoughts kept wandering back to his dream… what if he really betrays his team?...no that couldn't happen and he wouldn't let it happen he said firmly to himself as he entered the living room.

raven

she silently watched as robin entered the room and made his way slowly to the fridge only to be greeted cheerfully by starfire but it wasn't his late arrival that worried her, it was the powerful wave of emotion that had came with him when he entered the room……something was wrong and she was going to find out what…when she got the chance 'dude! Not fair!'

Wailed beastboy with the controller held limply in his hand. Cyborg was grinning widely with a wild gleam in his eye 'hah! In your face!' he yelled while doing his silly little victory dance but it was interrupted by the sound of an alarm and red flashing lights. Robin checked his communicator and then pocketed it again… 'Trouble' he said 'someone is trying to steal the bank' he finished and then said 'Titans Go!'

starfire

I had dropped the mustard bottle when I heard the alarm and now I was speeding towards the bank, in hope that it would not take that long because I had planned the whole day to spend it with my friends having fun but for the past few weeks… I have noticed a change in robin…he is more hyper than he was before like he looks tired and as if he hasn't slept for weeks. It pains me to see him like this and I wish that I could help him somehow if he tells me whats wrong with him… 'Perhaps raven can help and I am sure that others have noticed a change in him too' thought starfire hopefully. She was really worried about him so she flew so fast that she arrived earlier than the others and decided to try and stop the thief herself. As she entered the building…, people were staring at their captive with eyes full of fear, nobody seemed to notice her so she crept past them and got ready to shoot a star bolt when a voice froze her in her tracks and she stared at the back of the stranger 'now I wouldn't do that if I were you' said the same voice back… it was lifeless and cold… so very cold. Starfire just stared at the stranger … no it couldn't be…how? When?...how? ... These questions appeared in her mind as the stranger turned around to face her. It was slade! 'Surprised to see me?' he asked, she was so shocked that she didn't notice him reach in his belt, pull something out and throw it into the ground. The impact was so powerful that it sent her flying into the wall, knocking her out and the last words she heard him say was '1 down… 3 more to go'

slade

'now that was a waste of time' said slade as he watched the alien girl collapse to the floor, unconscious for he had his eye on someone more valuable…someone like… robin…he was the only one perfect enough to be his apprentice. He got away last time but he wont this- slade's thoughts were interrupted by a loud bang coming from the locked doors and the rest of the titans flew in. Robin just stared at slade as if his worst nightmare had come true, slade laughed softly 'why are you surprised to see me robin? Surely you knew that I was going to return' then he pushed a button and more than 50 robots stood in front of them. I could see robin grit his teeth…good… I wanted to see what robin was capable of, exactly how strong he could be, physically and mentally 'take the battle outside!' yelled robin ' ill take care of slade' he added in a whisper which only trained ears could hear, he whipped out his bo staff and slade did the same, then, they fought

Yea yea…I kno the chap is short but im no robot… this is my masterpiece cause it's gonna have a lot of chappies in it
