What if Robin stays Slade's apprentice? What if the Titans don't find the nano-bugs?
Robin is alone. No one can save him from the situation he's in. It's up to him to somehow make contact with the Titans, or better still... Batman.
All around them, the neon letters of Wayne Tower explode and collapse, sending dark plumes of smoke into the night sky. Cyborg hears a mechanical groaning behind him, but sparks and smoke overwhelm his vision. A large bat— Beastboy— almost flies into him, and he staggers back to avoid the collision. It's the wrong move. Without the momentum of a run to carry him through, he won't make it out in time.
The neon 'A' falls forward, and in a final grasp at safety, he ducks. The letter crashes to the ground, but Cyborg finds himself standing in the gap. He's safe, he's fine! He straightens as the smoke clears and the rumble from the impact fades, hardly able to believe his luck. A thought almost forms in his head: Did Robin plan this? He clenches his fists and dismisses it. His teammate, his friend, is...
"He's gone." Raven says, sadness scratching through her stoic surface. Cyborg runs over to her and Starfire's side, calling for a check-up, but everyone seems to have made it through relatively unscathed.
"Uhh..." Beastboy starts as he drops from the sky, assuming his 'human' form. "I know where Robin picked up that heat ray, but... where did he learn that little glow-y hurt-y trick?"
"I do not—" Starfire hesitates, looking resigned. "I do not know."
