A/N: Well this is my first fanfiction, sorry for any mistakes I may have made.

This story will be based around Slade and Robin. The Robin in this story is Richard Grayson. :) Hope you enjoy it. Updates may vary, hopefully I can update regularly depends if I have time. No Slash!

DISCLAIMER- I don't own the Teen Titans or DC Comics.

Jump City is quieter than normal and with Slade after Robin, anything could happen. Especially when Robin starts to trust him after a few recent complications with Batman…

Sunlight

~AprilRaven~


-Sunlight-

"Dude we are so having tofu ham and waffles for dinner"

"Damn I guess we are we're out of real food", moaned Cyborg as Beast Boy danced across the tabletops.

"I'll pass", mentioned Raven holding her jasmine herbal tea into the falling sunlight.

Crime had been a little low than normal these past few weeks. The titans came home about two months ago from defeating the Brotherhood of evil and there hasn't been much activity. Jump city has been quiet with the odd petty theft from Red X, but he's not really the big issue around here. The titans were taking things easy, well all except one.

"Robin! Will you be joining us for the dinner with the ham of tofu? I may even make a Tameranian delight with a topping of mustard", a cheerful tanned skin Tameranian asked.

"No thanks Star I'll be on patrol if anyone needs me", Robin replied. He grabbed a red apple from the counter and walked out.

"Dudes, I think he should just take a break from everything", said Beast Boy with his stacks of tofu.

"I hate to admit it but I agree with Beast Boy", said Cyborg.

"Robin just cares for us and this city even if he does work too hard for himself", Starfire said with a concerned tone.


Robin jumped across the rooftops letting the breeze ruffle his pure black hair. He loved the thrill of adventure and the energizing way of scaling buildings when he could. Robin grappled the larger building in front of him and with an athletes style he flipped up onto the building. The warm sunlight hit him and Robin couldn't help but feel happy for himself.

Robin never really went on patrol for very long, however he did stay out for most of the night. Robin was sat on a roof ledge directly staring at Titans Tower.

He pulled out the red apple he brought from the tower out of his belt, which he thankfully managed to fit in. He ate it in silence as he looked out onto the city. The sun was setting soon and there was a cool breeze blowing in front of his yellow and black cape.

He knew the crime rate had dropped but that concerned him the most. Even the slightly bigger criminals like Mad Mod or even Mumbo were locked up in Jump City's prison.

But what about the even bigger villains, ones like…..Slade.

It's been just over a year since he last saw him. And that was in the fiery pits of hell when Raven's father almost took over the universe.

As Robin's memory served him, didn't Slade still have his warehouses and haunts around here still? Well Slade's haunt got destroyed when Robin broke his mask. Slade mentioned that he had some warehouses back when Robin was his apprentice. Robin looked over to one of them not far from the docks. It was a relatively small warehouse probably for storage.

Wonder if things are still the same?

Robin hates to admit it but Slade did teach him a thing or two about everything from fighting to life.

Robin's thoughts were interrupted when a red and black blur rolled on top of the roof below him. When robin glanced down there was nothing there.

"Hey kid, what you lookin' at ?"

"X, I don't know what you stole this time but your not walking away with anything" snarled Robin. He whipped out his bo staff prepared to fight the thief.

"Easy kid I ain't here to fight and I didn't steal anything, just wondering what's been up these past couple of weeks. You seem out of it."

"That's none of your business, now get out of my sight before I lock you up for theft", Robin threatened aiming his weapon at Red X's face or mask.

"I didn't steal anything kid!", promised X.

"Really then who's suit is that?", Robin asked.

"Catch you when I'm out of xenothium kid ", Red X pushed a button on his belt and he disappeared.

Robin put away his bo staff into his utility belt and sighed. Red X just proves to be annoying at the greatest of times…not.

Robin looked up he didn't realize that the sky was almost pitch black. He'll deal with Red X some other time. He better get back to the tower earlier than normal, its not like he hadn't heard what the others we saying before he left the tower. Ever since the hallucinations with Slade, his friends were always concerned about him.

Robin shot out his grapple and fearlessly jumped down and landed safely onto the building below. He might look at Slade's old bases tomorrow night.

"There's no harm in looking, he's been missing for like a year." Mumbled Robin as he took off home.


Robin returned home and found that is was unusually dark. Robin was set on guard immediately.

"Your back early"

Robin suddenly turned around to find Raven sipping the last of her tea. She was sat at the kitchen counter with her back towards Robin. It was almost as if she didn't acknowledge him.

"Yeah Raven, erm….where is everybody?"

"Went to bed early, Starfire's Tameranian delight was definitely something out of this world", said Raven quietly.

"Yeah I bet, night Raven"

Robin went back to his room, only a couple steps further…

"Are you alright Robin, you seem distracted lately, on edge even?" Raven walked up to Robin and looked straight at him.

"I'm fine Raven, thanks for asking, good night."

Raven can be too suspicious at times. She can sense a lot of emotions running through the tower, mainly Robins. He wasn't too distracted now…was he?

Robin headed back into his room for a hot shower. Once he was done he went straight to bed for a few hours sleep.

With a final look at Slade's copper and black mask hanging on the wall in font of him, Robin fell asleep.

He would be up early in the morning anyways since he didn't really sleep much. With Slade back on his mind, anything could happen unexpectedly.


A/N: So how was it? It's my first fanfiction so I'm hoping there aren't that many mistakes. R&R and let me know what I can improve on :)
