Okay so here is a filler. I know I know scold me if you wish but It needed to be written! I couldn't very well not say what happened when the Titans' found their beloved leader had disapeared! Just suck it up soldier I don't like it anymore than you do, and I promise the next chapter has far more...exciting events ~wink wink~
Starfire had woken up early that day. It was Robin's birthday! He was turning fifteen. A man by the standards of Tamaran and she was going to give him a traditional slamorphkin ceremony even if the Gordanian masters themselves attempt to stop her! She had just finished making Manomanorian slotch, sniffing it she grunted and shuddered clutching her nose and shrieking. Her face of disgust blossoming into one of pride!
"Yes! Just as sweet Galfore used to create!" she beamed.
Humming, she flew about the kitchen taste testing everything. Shuddering here, belching, spitting out, and spitting fire there.
"It all is perfect!" she exclaimed. Flying upwards and twirling, arms outstretched.
Raven snorted, though it was more out of endearment. She knew how much her leader meant to the alien. She could feel the flicker in Robin as well. Though it was nothing compared to blaring wild fire burning in the heart of her female companion. But, she was sure. If given the time, they could find happiness together. And if Starfire could give Robin happiness, well that was hardly a matter to shun.
"Isn't this all a little pointless without the birthday boy?" she droned, her voice laced with indifference. Per the norm.
"Snorphlat!" Starfire burted.
"I had almost not remembered!" she said landing on her feet and running off towards the elevator. Arms close to her chest and hands near her cheeks.
When she left Raven grinned. Though it was small and chuckled.
"Let Azerath have mercy on your taste buds Robin.." she said.
Starfire sprinted to Robin's room. Skidding to a stop at his door. She cleared her throat, preparing herself to greet her leader.
With booming voice she barged into the Raven's room,
"GOOD MORN DEAR ROBIN! I HAVE SO MUCH PLANNED FOR YOUR BITRTHDA-" she stopped realizing her friend was not in his bed.
"Robin?" she said. Walking forward clapping on the lights. She walked to bathroom, knocking
"Robin?" she asked.
At the silence she entered, quickly realizing he wasn't there.
"Hm." She said.
Next she checked under the bed, then the closet, then the shower. Completely oblivious of the fact that Robin was far too mature to take part in a childish antic such as 'hiding' in those types places for laughs.
Smiling she stood in the middle of the boy's room, arms crossed,
"Okay Robin you may come out now. You're joke is recognized and apprecia...ted.." she trailed off when she saw that Robin's bow staff was split in half; laying in pieces beside his shattered communicator.
She walked forward picking up the broken device, tracing it's 'T' with a delicate hand when a soft breeze brushed her cheek.
She gasped, shooting up and bringing her now empty hands up to her mouth. The communicator now abandoned on the floor. As she noticed the window was open and the drapes were disconnected on one side.
"Friends!" she yelled storming out of Robin's room and standing in the hallway.
"Friends! Come quick! Robin has been taken!" she screamed.
Within seconds BeastBoy was there followed by Cyborg.
"Star, what's wrong? What's with the yelling?" BB asked.
"Robin has been taken!" she repeated running back into her leader's bedroom. Quickly becoming hysterical as her own words sunk in.
"What?" BeastBoy asked weakly, his face going as white as is possible when Raven appeared in a Flash of darkness.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Someone took Robin.." Cyborg answered. As BeastBoy ran in after Star. Leaving the other two to stand alone in the hallway.
Raven gaped, "No..that's not possible.." she said running into her friend room.
She ran towards the scene, ignoring a now sobbing Starfire as she took it all in. Robin had fought someone. And lost. That much was obvious to her. But, there was one thing she couldn't figure out.
"Who could have taken him?" Cyborg exclaimed,
"The guy's the most lethal person we know in hand to hand combat.."
"That's not true.." Raven corrected.
"Robin is skilled, but he depends on his bow staff to give him an advantage." She said.
"But based on the fact that it's still here says he wasn't able to get to it. Meaning he had no advantage. Resulting in his downfall.." she concluded.
"SHUT UP!" BeastBoy boomed.
"Don't talk about him like that! Like he's gone! He's not gone!" he shouted.
"He is gone BeastBoy.." Raven said sadly, worrying for her friends sanity.
BeastBoy shook his head furiously, "That's not what I mean! Your words!" he said, struggling to get his own out.
"You sound like you're talking about a dead person!" he shouted.
"Robins not dead." BeastBoy stated. Voice certain.
"We will find him. And whoever took him and make them pay." He said, his hand turning to a stubborn fist.
Raven nodded at the Halfling not wanting to upset him more. She had felt BeastBoy's admiration towards Robin. He saw Robin as more of a Father than a leader. Raven knew what it was like not having a father. And she wasn't about to rid BeastBoy of his before she knew for certain. She wouldn't dare reintroduce him to that pain.
It's much harder to mourn something good you lost, than to be sad you never had it at all. If you've never had it, you can simply find a substitute for it, and be content. But once you know what you've been missing, nothing will ever be able to compare to it again.
"Hey guys, I think I know who took Robin.." Cyborg said, his back facing his team mates.
"Who?" BeastBoy asked.
Cyborg turned, "Slade." He snarled in disgust, flinging something downwards infront of BB's feet.
It was a metal 'S'. Like the one Robin had worn on his chest when slade had kidnapped him.
BeastBoy took the sharp object from the floor, looking at the simple letter. It was like it offended his very existence.
He remembered how nuts Robin got around Slade. How desperate he was for his destruction. And how furious he was when he'd told BeastBoy about Terra. BeastBoy closed his eyes.
Terra.
'I swear Robin. I will destroy him. For you. And for Terra..Even if it kills me..'
"Let's go." He said. His face aura taking on one of a leader.
"We don't have time to waste. We have to find him." He said.
"Get up Star, crying won't help us get him back.." he said. Sounding much like Robin had that day.
Now he got what Robin meant. Crying was useless. It did nothing but waste time and in this life time wasn't something he could afford to waste.
Sniffling Starfire stood, following her green friend out of the room. Cyborg in pursuit.
Raven turned, scanning the room.
It didn't make sense. If Robin had felt he was in this sort of danger, she should have felt it. Would have to. She scoured her mind for any possible explanation but could think of nothing.
She shook her head somberly, frowning at the unfortunate event.
'Robin'she reached out with her mind.
'what happened?'she asked.
'where are you?'
she tried to feel him. But she couldn't. All she felt was the darkness of her own mind.
All she felt,
was cold.
If there are mistakes in this I apologize, I didn't like it enough to proof read it and I'm far too excited to get working on the next one to bother with it anyways. However your reviews are still greatly appreciated and I fear my lack of updating has caused you to lose interest! Review so I know I'm not doing this for nothing!
