"Well hello Robin, how have you been, I've heard that you were badly injured a few months back..." Slade chuckled as he came out of the shadows to greet his apprentice.
"Why won't you leave me alone..." Robin growled.
"Because you belong to me that's why..." Slade simply answered then added. "Besides you came to me dear Robin..."
"I didn't come here for you..."
"Yes you came in search of Sunny...did you not?"
"How do you know Sunny?"
Slade laughed. "Oh I know Sunny very well Robin...the drugs I had the nurses give you became very helpful in getting you to remember..."
"Remember what?"
"Why your past...with all my hard work you managed to make yourself forget..."
Robin shook his head, "No...You're lying..."
"No dear apprentice..." Slade chuckled as six of his droids were now behind the teen and grabbed him none too gently Robin tried to fight back, one of the droids punched him in the chest. Robin's eyed went wide as he collapsed to his knees and cradled his ribs, then passed out at the amount of pain he felt. "I'm not..." Slade chuckled.
The Titans followed Robin's signal thankfully he still had his communicator with him. "Why would he come back here?" Beast boy asked as he morphed into his normal form.
"No idea let's go find out..." Cyborg answered. As they cautiously entered the warehouse, "Up those steps and down the hall..." Cyborg instructed Raven as she took the lead.
As Slade's droids strapped Robin to a table, Slade watched as a now wide-awake Robin tried desperately to free himself, "Now Robin you really shouldn't struggle..." Slade scolded his apprentice. "You'll only aggravate your injuries..." he turned to the security monitors. "Oh look we have visitors..." Slade chuckled as he watched the other Titans creep down a hallway.
'I have to get out of here...' Robin thought ignoring the pain in his chest, figuring that he either had bruised or broken ribs again. 'Why did they have to follow me...' Robin mumbled, 'I have to find Sunny...damnit, why the hell are there wires attached to the straps...and what's with the syringes?'
"Ah I see you've noticed the electrodes on the shackles as well as the drugs...oh don't worry about those, they're to help bring back Sunny..." Slade laughed, as he picked up a syringe and injected Robin. Robin cringed but refused to cry out.
"Well now Robin I have to leave for a bit I really must greet your little group..." Slade smirked as he left the room, "Oh and don't worry my droids will be here to keep you company..." With that said Slade left the room.
Pulling on his restraints Robin could feel the pain, as his wrists were being rubbed raw, now that his hands were free, Robin worked on the straps across his chest and neck. Feeling the drugs as they started to take effect Robin tried to hurry.
Noticing that the teen was freeing himself the droids took action and grabbed at Robin. Hitting the first one that grabbed at his arm, Robin was determined to get away, sitting up Robin punched a droid shattering it's head to pieces, the sharp edges cutting Robin's arms and wrists the pieces imbedded itselves in his arms ignoring the pain he then kicked at the others. As the droids lay in pieces on the floor, Robin held on to the table to steady himself he suddenly felt tired and dizzy. And slowly made his way out of the room now covered in sweat and breathing heavily, Robin ignored the fact that blood dripped out of his mouth or that his wrists were bleeding badly.
After like twenty minutes Robin's eyes were glazed over and his head swayed, as the drugs started to take effect. Leaning against a wall Robin slumped to the floor and breathed heavily.
#Over here Robin...# he heard, slowly getting to his feet Robin followed the voice.
"Sunny?" he croaked and spit out the blood that had pooled in his mouth.
#Robin this way...# He heard again.
"Where is Robin?" Starfire growled out as she smashed her fist into another droid.
"My you do have a temper child..." Slade laughed.
When Slade had come to 'greet' the teens he had six dozen droids with him. Ducking as three droids were launched in his direction Slade suddenly realized that now he had four pissed off teens surrounding him, all his droids had been destroyed and lay in pieces within the warehouse. Sighing Slade amazingly didn't see this coming, taking out a flash grenade he dropped it and decided to flee for he wanted to watch Robin's reaction from afar.
Robin had managed to make his way towards the roof of the warehouse, stumbling every few steps as he felt so weak not noticing or caring that he was leaving a trail of blood behind him, he was too drugged up that he couldn't think straight. #This way Robin, he'll never find us here...# the voice continued to guide him.
"Where...are you...leading me Sunny?" Robin asked.
#You'll see, it's our secret hiding place remember?# Sunny answered.
"He has to be nearby, his signal leads down that hall." Cyborg yelled out as they ran in a room.
"Ah man..." Beast boy growled as he saw the wrecked droids littering the floor. "Wait...is that blood?"
The moment that word was mentioned Starfire immediately began to panic. "We...we have to hurry..." she answered following the trail, up the steps and through a few doors, the other Titans following at her heels, they'd almost lost Robin once they weren't going to lose him again.
Seeing a closed door ahead, Star blasted through it, breathing the morning air, Starfire gasped when she saw Robin, high on a narrow beam he looked down below where a huge cliff lay beneath him, the waves crashing on the rocks, "ROBIN..." she yelled Star was about to fly to him but Cyborg stopped her, "What...why are you stopping me he is injured he could fall?"
"Just wait a few seconds Star..." Cyborg approached the beam. "Hey Robin...ROB..." Hearing his name Robin slowly turned his head, the Titans gasped, he was extremely pale, his breathing was heavy, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. "Ah man...what did Slade do to you?"
Robin just looked at him awkwardly, then turned his head, "Where...what hiding place?" he asked to no one but thin air.
'Where?...Who is he talking to...ah man not Sunny again...' Cyborg growled. "Rob your hallucinating...Sunny isn't real..." Cyborg tried to get his attention as he slowly climbed on the beam, Cyborg winced when he saw the cuts on Robin's wrists "Rob you're hurt let us help you..." he pleaded.
Robin turned to him confused, "Isn't real, Sunny's right there..." he answered and fell to a knee as he coughed out blood.
"No he's not Robin listen to yourself, you're not making any sense..." Raven cried out as she tried her best to hold back Starfire.
"Sunny's not real..." Beast boy continued.
Pushing Raven back Starfire flew out to Robin, facing him she cupped his face, "Sunny's right there Star..." Robin tried to control his breathing.
"Yes he is Robin...I see him..." Star had tears in her eyes as she wiped the blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
"He's hurt..."
"Yes I know..."
"Slade...did it to me...did that to Sunny..." Robin continued about ready to pass out.
"I know please let us help you both alright?" she asked hopefully.
Robin only closed his eyes and passed out, holding onto him tightly Star waited until Cyborg approached and carried their unconscious leader onto the roof, "What was he talking about?" Beast boy asked as he tore up strips of Raven's cloak to wrap up Robin's wrists.
Starfire looked at them, then carefully lifted Robin's shirt to reveal his old wounds, the Titans all gasped. "Sunny is Robin...when Slade did this to him Robin supressed the memories and Sunny was created..." she answered, "Robin hasn't yet noticed...the resemblance as he described the boy to us..."
"Are you serious?" Cyborg looked at her horrified.
"Enough talk...we need to get him to the hospital." Raven hissed. As she noticed a smudge of blood on his arm, "He's been drugged or something...look." She pointed to his arm.
The next day Robin woke up groggily, 'What the...' he quickly looked around and spotted his friends surrounding him.
"Well it's about time you woke up..." Beast boy chirped.
"What am I doing here...where's Sunny is he all right?"
"..." The Titans all looked at each other.
Sitting up too fast Robin gasped as he held his ribs.
"Robin...please look at me..." Star asked as she sat on the bed beside him and held his face with both hands "Sunny is you Robin..."
"What?"
"You said so yourself that he seemed familiar did you not... Sunny has black hair and blue eyes like yours...does he not?"
"Yeah but..."
"He also has the same bruises as you do...right..." she continued.
Cyborg leaned down "Slade really screwed you up bad Rob..."
"Yes you made yourself forget what he had done too you, when you nearly died that memory must have resurfaced..." Raven explained.
Robin thought for a moment, then frowned. "Come on guys let's give him a little time to figure this out..." Cyborg whispered, Robin hadn't even noticed when they left the room. Star was still by his side.
Two days had passed, 'I feel like such an idiot...' he mused, as he looked outside, after being treated for his cuts and extremely bruised ribs he was being released from the hospital today. Not surprisingly Robin felt extremely depressed, 'Even my head won't let me forget…' he continued.
"Ro-bin…" Robin hadn't moved, he was so deep in thought, "Ro-bin…" Star shook his arm.
Robin's head snapped to the left, "Hun?"
Star gave one of her sweet innocent smiles, "Are you ready to go?" she asked.
Robin looked at her then back outside, "Yeah…"
"Are you all right Robin…" she asked running her fingers through his hair.
Robin looked back at her and smiled lightly "I'm fine…" he answered wincing as he got off the bed, wrapping an arm around his ribs Robin slowly walked out of the room, a worried Star walking beside him.
Instead of going back to the tower, Star dragged Robin somewhere he never expected, "Star I'm kinda tired…"
"This will only take a moment, then we will return home, I promise…"
She made him sit down on the sand, Robin looked at the water as it slowly came to wet the sand on the beach, Robin winced again as his ribs started to bother him, Star sat behind him and coaxed him to lie back pillowing his head on her stomach. Robin sighed as he watched the sunset, "Why did you bring me here Star?" he asked.
"I just thought you needed a few moments away from everything and everybody…" she answered, as she caressed his neck.
After a few minutes "Star?"
Star looked down at his ice blue eyes and smiled "Yes…"
"Thanks…" he whispered.
"Your very welcome Robin…" she chirped, and smiled when Robin slowly leaned up and lightly grasped her shirt pulling her down to him, kissing her deeply. Starfire changed her position and sat next to him leaning over him., Robin then cupped her cheeks and lied down on the sand, still kissing her passionately.
Breaking the kiss Star blushed and breathed quite deeply, "Will you be all right now Robin?"
Robin thought for a moment, he may not be able to forget his past but with Star by his side, he would definetly be all right. Smirking Robin gazed deeply in her eyes and smiled, "Yeah…I'll be just fine…" he answered caressing her cheeks with his thumbs, and leaned his head up for another rather possessive kiss.
The end…
Hehe should I continue or not if I do it might be a little limey…hehehe
