Teen Titans Fan Fiction

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, its Production Company, Affiliates, and/or Sponsors. Everything is fictional and any similarities between the characters and any living person are purely coincidental.

Summary: There are times in your life where you draw on everything you have. Times when you reach down into the deepest part of yourself, when you know you've gotta give it your all, because anything less won't get the job done. It's in times like these that you find out who you really are. That is, if you live long enough...

The Teen Titans are faced with a challenge unlike any other, as their leader forgets who he is. Despair: to be forgotten is worse than death.

Rating: T for safety. Only one pairing in this one, and it involves a red headed Princess and a spiky haired dude with a bird for his name.

Side Notes: R&R's are always appreciated, so whether you love or hate any part of this story, I encourage you to share you viewpoints with me. They will help me become a better writer in the future. Chapters are probably going to be shorter than those who are used to the tone of Sacrifice.

THE FORGOTTEN

Prologue

It was a very bright and early morning in Jump City. Dark, heavy storm clouds surrounded the sky for as far as the eye could see. In the background, one could hear thunder clashing as lightning struck moments before. There were no animals on the streets, as they could sense something humans could not. Deep within the city, a figure in the shadows was hoping from rooftop to rooftop. As the lightning streaked across the sky, the figure in the shadow's came into view, as Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans was getting some early morning exercise.

Robin often enjoyed the solitude of running. One, it helped keep him in peak physical condition. He could ill afford to be caught off guard or not totally prepared for any situation. He did a front flip as he landed onto a building that was at a lower altitude from the last and landed squarely on his feet. Mom would have been proud I never lost touch with my roots... As Robin lept from the next building, several figures in the shadows stepped out. They looked up and quietly, hoped up from the alley.

Lightning struck again in the sky, it was followed by the booming effects of thunder as rain started to come down. Robin felt the rain run down both sides of his face, it wasn't raining hard, so it felt cool as it ran down. Robin hoped over the next building, but was soon followed by roughly half a dozen others. The men in the shadows had jumped up from the alleyway and were giving chase to the young hero.

One of the men in the shadows had reached into his belt and pulled out a small laser gun. As it grabbed the handle a bit tighter, Robin's eye twitched as he continued running. As he approached a chimney, he saw what he needed to do. Robin lept at the wall with one foot and used it as he swung his other leg backwards, catching one of his followers in the chest. The rest stopped as Robin had caught them following him. Lightning darted across the sky as if it were dancing and lit up almost the entire city. In that moment, Robin saw that his followers were none other than Slade commandos. They were robotic drones, and they were often used to do his own dirty work. Having taken one out already, there were only 5 left. Robin made clenched his fists as hard as he could, as the other Slade commandos reached into their own belts and pulled out their own small hand lasers.

"Slade...so you've been reduced to sending drones at me. You should know this isn't enough to stop me..." Robin took a karate stance and charged at the Slade commandos. The first one fired, but Robin had rolled in close. Grabbing hold, Robin hurled the commando into two others as they all fell off the rooftop. The next commando aimed his weapon at Robin, but it was soon shattered by a red birdarang. Looking down on his fallen weapon, the commando's eyes soon moved up as they were met with a flying kick. The birdarang returned to Robin's hand and he threw it once more at the last commando who was firing at Robin. The birdarang shattered the robot's head, as it fell to the ground.

Robin walked over slowly and yanked his birdarang out of the robot. Robin put it away, but and saw another shadow move out of the corner of his eye. Gritting his teeth as hard as he could, Robin turned around, but his eyes soon widened at the sight he saw. On several rooftops, he saw more commandos. There were dozens of them, and Robin watched in amazement as even more started appearing. Robin reached into the back of his utility belt where he kept his communicator. Something was wrong. It's not there?! Great...the one day I forget my communicator...

The ground underneath Robin started cracking. Robin had to jump out of the way, doing several back flips as Cinderblock emerged from the rubble. He roared at Robin and pounded his chest several times. Robin's breathing started to quicken. This is not good...I have to warn the Titan's somehow. Robin looked over towards the island which held Titan's Tower. In the cloud cover, one couldn't be exactly sure what time it was. Robin had no way of knowing if the Titan's were even awake yet. Combat practice wasn't until 8 in the morning, but Robin got up early to get in extra practice. If he had to guess, it would have been around 6, 6:30 at best. No one in the tower would be up for at least another hour. He was on his own...

Robin took out his bo-staff from his utility belt. Twirling it several times in the air, Robin took a defensive stance as Slade's drones pointed their weapons at the boy wonder. Robin, knowing he was outnumbered and miles away from help, did something he never liked doing. He turned the other way and started running. Robin could feel several blasts just miss his face as he reached the edge of the rooftop. Using his own bo staff like a pole vaulter, Robin hurled himself into the middle of the street. Pulling out a grappling hook, Robin swooped away from his enemies. As he landed across the street, Robin saw from behind him dozens of Slade commandos leaping on top of the rooftops.

Robin shook his head and started running. This isn't good. I can't use my grappling hooks too much or else I might get shot down. Panting, Robin shook his head to get the water off his head, and continued to run, with Cinderblock and dozens of Slade commandos behind him.

Meanwhile, deep inside Titan's Tower, the 4 other Teen Titans rested peacefully, completely unaware of their leader's plight. Beast Boy drooled on his pillow, Cyborg's systems kept him asleep unless the alarm went off, Starfire started chewing on her pillow, and Raven slept blissfully unaware.

A/N: There ya go, Prologue's done. Chapters will probably be about 2-3x this in length. Thanks for reading, and please don't forget to review. Thanks, everyone! I'll see ya'll next time!
