Caged Birds Cannot Sing:The Final Chorus

Dreams and Visions

The skies of Gotham were especially gloomy that day, Robin's frown never faltered, he was going to end this alone in the city where it all began

"If I started out in Gotham, I may as well end here too!"

He growled as he walked to the pier, no one remembered him, no body cared any more, and frankly, he was happy, the less that remembered, the less that would die in his battle with Slade, his signal was in here and close to him, if he ever wanted to be a free bird, he had to take down his peruser.

"Like the bird taking down the hawk, I will win my freedom, even if i have to bet my life on it!"

Robin muttered as he walked slowly to Arkam Asylum

Fully aware of the danger he was in...

Robin braced himself as he set foot inside the grounds of Arkam, memories flooded him, painful ones and then there were the nice ones, but mostly, they were painful...

"Calm it Robin, he's trying to get in your head!"

Robin convinced himself as he began walking in, he saw there was blood...a lot of blood, it was smeared on the walls and on the floor, it seemed to spell out something, but he couldn't see it, he decided to climb up, for an odd reason, his stomach was acting up? Nerves? No, it felt worse than that, but, what could it have been?

"No use thinking, the sooner I get up, the sooner I see what the message is..."

Robin said as he got some of his old spirit back, half of him was still broken from his incident, bit that was shattered when he saw the message on the floor...

HA HA HA LONG LIVE EVIL

Robin lost control of his sanity as the laughter he had grown to detest filled the room, from the shadows stepped out the source of his scorn.

"Why so...serious?"

Robin's head shot up, sweat poured down from his head, he looked around, he was home in Titans tower, Petal walked in and mumbled.

"Nightmares again?"

She yawned as she walked to the scared boy

"I-It felt so real, even the laugh and the feel of his breath as he spoke, so...real..."

Robin began to cry, Petal assumed her position, she caressed his hair and softly whispered in his ear, he had been like this ever since they had arrived home, his mind just couldn't ease, even with Slade gone, he was tense with fear, she guessed that since hunting the demonic man had been his hobby, it was hard to give up...

"He's dead Robin...we're free"

Robin broke from her embrace and shook his head.

"No, so long as he is alive, I'll never be free...never..."

He muttered, Petal sighed sadly as she went out.

"Rest easy Robin, if he does...me and Kit will protect you..."

Petal said as the door shut, Robin stared at it as the girl vanished...

He won't touch them again...I'll make sure of that!

Robin muttered mentally as he got up and undressed, he still felt very exposed, as if an eye was watching him, his experience with Slade made him fear the shadows, after all, he was trapped like a bird in a cage...

Never again..I will not be controlled so easily!

Robin placed his hands on his face, adjusting his mask to his eyes, he looked at himself in the mirror and grimaced, still some slight bruises...

Nothing I can't handle...

He traced his hand to his groin and found it sore, the bastard had rode him, hard, Robin shook his head, trying to rid his mind of the image...instead, he thought of his team, his poor befallen team...one thing Slade had said was right...

"I had let them defend me, I never reacted, I caused them...let them die...I will not do that again! Kit and Petal are the only Titans I have on my team...I will revive the team to it's glory, even if I have to go back to square 1!"

Robin muttered as he withdrew his hand and headed out now fully dressed in his attire, Petal was looking at the sea, the sun had set a few hours ago, the sight was so beautiful, it made her tear, Kit yawned as she came out from the darkness, she had grown accustomed to the light, more or less, she still hated it just, not as much, now that she didn't need to transform into White Wing, she could be herself...and it felt nice...

"No anomalies, that's a good sign, no trace from Slade, he hasn't moved from the place he's standing, if that's even him at all"

Robin looked at her

"Oh come on Robin, you trash the guy's face with his bronze mask and still expect him to come back tough and unrelenting? Face it, he is gone..."

Kit stated

"I can't accept it, he is there and I will stop him!"

Robin growled

"Your mind is overworking, if you continue, you will harm yourself, please, rest easy"

Kit said in her monotone voice, Robin sighed and nodded

"Yea...I guess your correct, I will rest..."

Robin smirked at Kit as she passed, she accidentally touched his head and was hut with many disturbing visions...visions of Robin, visions of his past...and his future, she collapsed. Robin caught her before she hut the ground, she looked up at Robin and weakly grimaced...

"You were right about one thing...you will rest very soon...eternally"

She said as she fainted, Robin was confused now

What did she mean "rest eternally" what could that possibly mean?

Robin debated with himself until Petal came rushing in, what she said scared him stiff

"Robin, Come quick there's a code red delta in the conference room"

Petal said as she ran to the room, Robin followed swiftly and was hut with a disturbing sight, on the news people were killing each other, ripping the day lights out of innocent people, the weird thing was...they looked familiar...

Robin dropped Kit with a thud...

In the middle was a very familiar red headed girl, she looked like she was leading the frenzy, but there was something...odd about her, like she was out of control, evil...dead...The thought hut him like a ton of bricks...

"Slade can raise the dead!"

Petal looked fearfully at him

"But...if he can do that..."

Robin nodded

"What worse could he do?"

Ok this is the first chapter of my dark fic, I intend to be very cruel, vicous and...totally OOC, although I will ad lemon, Yaoi, lime, song and romance, I have also saw Highschool of the dead so thought, what if Slade went crazy and brought back Robins dead team and girlfriend? What evil thing shall I do? Make him kill of course ;)
