-A Dark Past of The Boy Wonder-

Chapter 13: The Voices

"RICHARD!" the darkness calling my name over and over. Pain enveloping me every time my name was called. A few minutes went by and everything was quiet. Suddenly I gasp for air only to inhale water. What the hell? I looked around to see I was on a beach. I coughed and the salty water poured out. Remind me never to drink the ocean.

I sat there in the wet sand before taking in my surroundings. Peaces of metal and debris were scattered around. The sand made a path look like forever. A forest not to far from there. The ocean seemed endless as well. "Well what the hell happend?"

 I sat up only to scream out and grab my torso and shake violently. What the hell was happening to me?

Someone whined in the distance. I forced my shaking body to look around before meeting a pair of green eyes not to far from me. Wally? No Starfire! I stained myself to say her name only to gurgle and hyperventilate.

She turned her head before getting up quickly. 

"Robin! Hang on I am coming." She ran her steps making a slosh sound. Star finally came to the spot I was currently at. She got to her knees and began to hold me.

"Its okay, its okay breathe." Her words soothing me and eventually the shaking stopped. I slowly got up only to get as far as my knees. My entire body hurt.

 I looked around to check if anyone else was here that I missed. Star must have read my mind.

"No one else is on the beach. Friend Robin were are they?" I looked at her, quickly giving her a good look over to notice that there was a few scratches on her arms and a little cut on her face. Other than that she was in better condition than I was.

"Star I-I don't know. I remember pain and then I woke up to be on this damn beach." my harsh words making her flinch. Seeing this I slowly took a breathe before continuing. "I'm sorry Starfire, I don't know where they are but my best bet is they are okay. For now we need to move away from the beach and search for anything that could help us in any way." She nodded and got to her feet before lending me her hand.

I got to my feet fairly easily before coughing. My chest felt like someone stabbed me with a ton of knives. I coughed and glanced down at my hand. blood coated it. Slowly I look down at my side to see the wound from earlier, but this was fresh. It had staples for now and a what was white bandage on it. 

Starfire put my arm around her neck and began to walk to the sandy path into the never ending forest. The beach waves disappearing in the distance. What happened to the teams and my dad. 

My legs felt like jelly with each step a pinching in my side. My hair matted from the sweat and mositure of the forest. "S-star I need a breather" She nodded and stopped at a moss covered log. 

-------------

"Hey star" a faint yeah was heard. "We have been walking for quit some time, can you fly above the tree line and see what or where we can rest." She nodded and with a flash of green she was gone. Giving me a chance to fully check myself out. 

My cape was ripped in a couple of places, the R patch was almost completely ripped off, my red torso cover was torn and ripped so much to the point that my chest and a little of my back were exposed. My belt was empty completely, turns out joker didn't want me to escape. Only a couple of bat-rangs survived. My jet black leggings were scuffed but other wise okay for the most part, which surprised me. My little pixie green shoes were scratched and torn but still useable. Basically in my term I probably looked dead or like shit. Ether way we still need to find the team.

Suddenly there was a scream and a little dot started to fall from the sky. It was starfire. I raced and caught her. Falling in the dirt and sliding into a tree, bracing for impact I held Star close to my chest. 

'Thud!'

We crashed into the tree only to go right threw it and down a large hill hitting every rock, log and standing tree. We stopped when we hit the last tree, causing me to loose my grasp on Star.

I opened my eyes to feel someone yelling or at least I thought they were. A ringing was clear in my ears and the bright sun was blinding. "Ri-" only some of what they were saying made it before I couldn't hear anything. 

A Cyborg made his way into my vision. I begin to look around once again to see Starfire not to far, Raven above her. A tug on my shoulder got my attention. 

My eyes meet a blue and red pair. Cy was talking to me but words didn't come out. What was he saying? 

"WHAT?" Cy began to look at me with a questioning face. I focused on his mouth. 'Can you have me' I stared at him with a red face. "NO YOU CANT HAVE ME" He laughed at me and tried again. 'Can you hear me' I laughed at seeing how wrong I was. "NO". Finally noises started to make their way into my head, but it wasn't theirs. 

"HAHAHAHAH little Robin having problems" I turned around faster than flash himself, and frantically looked for the mad man. Cy, Ravens and Starfire's voices slowly made there way to me. 

"Robin!"

"Hey bro what's wrong?"

"Friend Robin?"

I looked around and faced them. "You didn't hear that?" They looked at me with more confusion than the first. 

"What did you hear Robin?" Raven and Cyborg said nearly in sync. I put my head down. My sweat making its way down my face and dropped to the green earth. 

"Nothing, it- it was nothing" I said and brushed past my team as I made my way to a dirt trail. The rest of the walk was quiet, till we got to another side of the beach and a abandoned building. 

This beach had a ship. ship? THE BIOSHIP! I frantically started to sprint till I reached it. The Red exterior was torn to peices and blown in certain areas. So if the Bioship is here where is the rest of my family? 

I run around it about 5 times before running down the beach then into the building. My heart sped up a lot. Where. Where are they. 

"Its all your fault" I stopped and looked around more and more. The second floor was rotted out, some of the bars folded out. The electrical units broken and dusty. Footsteps filled the building. I ran out the building and to the middle of the beach.

"whe-where are they, where are they. pleas-" My words began to slur and within an instant I started to hyperventilate. "Whe-ar-ty-" 

"ROBIN!" footsteps kept getting closer and closer and my breathing picked up a lot till I was seeing spots. 

"Robin" that voice. I jolted forward and about feel off my bed? I looked around frantically only to be crushed into a hug. 

"Hey its okay sport, your alright" He rubbed circles on my back. My breathe began to slow. "There you go champ." I looked around we were in the mountain. 

"What happend?" Batman looked at me and held me close as if I were to disappear from the world. 

"Joker had Slade poisoned you, he captured us and in the end you defeated him but only at a cost." I looked at him. His sad blue eyes meeting mine. I begin to remember my injures, and moved as fast as I could to check myself. The white covers were pealed off to show a pink bloodied wrap around my chest and torso. 

"He also did some mental damage to you as well, so we had Martian Manhunter help a little." I smile at him and lie down. My energy draining from me. "Go to sleep champ, we are having you meet with Canary in the morning but for now your team wants to see you." I nod and the Batman. He smiled and exited the room. I know right he smiled! 

The door closed slowly only to be almost dehinged from the force of both teams trying to get into the room of the broken bird. Artemis and Wally tumbled down , Connor and Meg doing the same. My team the Titians begin the laugh when I giggled. 

"So no feeling the aster haha"
