Dark Paradise (RobRae Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

Raven drowsily woke up, dizzy from blood loss. Her face and head throbbed, and she just felt like screaming. She couldn't. She couldn't do anything.
She didn't know where she was. The light was on this time. She looked around her surroundings.
She gagged at the smell, and the sight.
'Who's head is that...?' She thought, frowning.
"You're awake." A voice said, which startled Raven.
"Harley... please." She chocked out.
"Lemme think... Nope!" She said bubbly.
She crouched face to face with the girl, and smiled.
"It'll all be over soon. Then the Titans will be devastated, and quit. And Mr.J and I can finally settle down!" Harley giggled.
"You really think he'll settle down, Harleen? He's insane! He's using you!" Raven tried to get to Harley, but she pouted.
"You're just jealous because nobody loves you, you creep! Puddin' loves me!" Harley yelled.
"Somebody did. Robin did." Raven whispered, with tears streaming down her face.
"Shut up!" Harley yelled, grabbing a gun from the wall and pointing it to Ravens stomach.
"Harley, no shooting the guest!" Joker yelled, knocking the gun out of her hand. He picked up the gun, and hit Harley in the side of the head, sending her flying to the floor.
"B-but, Puddin. Sh-She was-"
"Be quiet!" Joker barked, and grabbed a white container of paint.

"Dammit!" Robin barked, kicking the side of the warehouse.
Batman ran to the batmobile, and hopped in. Robin did also.
"Bruce... W-what if we don't find her? Or we don't find her... Alive?" Robin whispered, wiping a tear from his face.
"Don't worry. We'll find her."
"Bruce... I never got to ask her... I was about to." Robin cried, clutching his hair.
Batman exhaled. "We'll find her." He repeated, and then sped up the batmobile.

"And... Done!" Joker laughed, and threw the black paint down.
"She's like a doll, Puddin!" Harley said, finally getting up from the floor.
She grabbed a mirror, and put it in front of Raven.
She looked exactly like joker.
Black around the eyes. White face. Red mouth and scars... but with blood.

"Channel 4, sir." Alfred said through the speaker of the batmobile.
Batman turned, and Robin forced himself to look.
"Hello, Bats. You've already been to the warehouse, I'm guessing. Listen, I know you have a tracking device... So... Come before it's too late. Oh! I almost forgot! Any last words you want to say?"
The camera switched to Raven. Robin cried harder.
"I-I love you, Robin." She chocked out. "Don't blame this on yourself... okay? The last few days with you... have been amazing. And I would do this all in a heart beat, if it means having a few more days with you. You were my moon and stars... You were my light."
"Alriight that's enough. Better hurry, Bats." The camera turned off.
Batman pressed a button, and batmobile zoomed thanks to the fire rockets at the back.

Joker got a baseball bat, smothered with acid, and smacked Raven with it, continually.
"Ooh! Ooh! Puddin! Lemme use my hammer!" Harley squealed, wacking Raven with it.
"Kay, Harley! Enough!"
Joker whacked her in the head repeatedly, and threw the baseball down.

Harley and Joker walked out, but first without smiling.

Robin and Batman jumped out of the batmobile. "I'll search the place. You find Raven." Batman ordered, and ran inside with his light eyes flashing.
Robin didn't feel like arguing, so he ran inside behind Batman.

Robin entered a room. And he could feel something wrong. He slowly approached the room.
"No!" He cried, and ran over to the lifeless body on the floor.

Batman ran over to the room, but stopped in the doorway and frowned.
Robin cradled her body, crying. He started kissing her lightly all on her body, whispering continually "please wake up."
Batman slowly walked over.
"Dick..."
"No!" He sobbed, and hugged her dead body tightly.
"She's gone, Dick..." Batman whispered.
Robin stood up with Raven in his arms, stroking her hair.

Right after Ravens funeral, Robin packed up his bags from the Titans tower.
He was carrying his suitcase, when he passed Ravens room. He stopped dead in his tracks, and backed up.
He entered her room, and memories flooded back.
He walked to her bed, and just laid there.

"Robin, do you ever feel... like your death will be Inevitable?" Raven asked, cuddled up to Robin in her bed.
"Mhm... I don't know. I don't think about my death that much. It's hard to think about." Robin answered, unsure of his answer.
"I want my death to be inevitable. That way, when I'm going to be a ghost, I'm going to haunt the shit out of the person who caused it." She laughed at her own comment, and Robin chuckled.
"I wont let anything happen to you."
"Robin... you can't stop something that is inevitable."

Robins cheek got moist, and he let the tear fall on the pillow. He didn't want to get up, but he forced himself.
He picked up her clockwork orange book, and opened the page that was bookmarked.

"The important thing is moral choice. Evil has to exist along with good, in order that moral choice may operate. Life is sustained by the grinding opposition of moral entities.." He read, smiling. He shoved the book in his bag.

He looked on her dresser, and noticed the blueish-black colored nail polish bottle. He smiled, remembering how even after being through hell, her nails were still the blackish-blue that he loved.
His eyes wondered to the floor. He noticed the shirt, thrown on the floor.
He picked it, and his eyes widened.
"It was the shirt she was wearing the last night we had together..." He frowned, and held it close to his chest.
'It smells like her...' He frowns, and tears were streaming down his face.
He folded it up in his bag, and walked to the door.
He walked to the piano, and sat down quickly. He began to press random notes, and began to pour his heart out.
It was his part when they played together that day.
He slowly walked to the door, and opened it. He took one last look at it, and shut the lights off, and closed the door.

"Robin... Man... Do you have to leave?" Cyborg asked, frowning.
"Cyborg... you're the new leader. Take care of the team. And, for my request, don't touch Ravens room. Don't even go in it. Raven doesn't like anybody in her room..." And with that, he exited the Titans Tower.
He sobbed a little, and then got on his motorcycle, throwing his luggage in the back, and zoomed off.
