Missing Hope

{9}

Every hero present was shocked at his statement. What did robin mean they didn't want to save him. Of course they did. Why would they have searched an entire year and still be searching if they didn't want their little bird back?

Chapter 9: Injuries and friends

Robin simply growled at the hero's as Slade grabbed the edge of his mask subtly slipping something between the fabric and into a cut on the boys face before quickly stitching it shut. The man had intended to stitch it earlier, but this might get ugly and he'd rather robin not bleed to death during the fight. Robin didn't pay it any attention as he had a cut there from earlier training. He assumed Slade was just poking and prodding to make sure it wasn't infected. Slade couldn't send him on missions if it was. Robin couldn't die because he'd lose business if he had no one to send on those few missions he was unable to do himself, and we all know how Slade hates to lose. He was hurt but he turned his hurt and despair into anger. Even when Slade began to teach the willing teen he had been told 'use your anger, if you don't have any create it from elsewhere.' and that's exactly what robin did.

"Robin the friend of the mine, how could you do the thinking we did not wish to find the you? Did the you forget us friend? We would never do the leaving of the behind!" Starfire yelled.

"Shut up! You would have come for me if you wanted me!" Robin yelled back.

"Renegade! Come!" Slade yelled as began to walk off.

"Yes master! Excuse me but I'm busy." Robin dismissed not noticing when his master had moved.

Slade stood waiting for the boy who began running towards him. Expression unreadable. 'Good' Slade thought. 'He's learned how to be an Assassin properly.' Just as robin was two inches from his master he was grabbed and engulfed in smoke. Slade had run into the smoke only to find the hero's gone, along with his apprentice......

"Let me go!" Robin screamed slamming his fists into the dark knights back as he was whisked away.

"Trust me, i would love to put you down Dick, Unfortunately I can't because no one knows what's going on with you!" Bruce growled.

"Nothings going on! The only thing going on is I'm being kidnapped!" Robin huffed.

Bruce stopped. "Kidnapped? Robin we are saving you!" Bruce told him.

"I don't need saving!" Robin yelled.

"Yes you do!" Bruce yelled

The trip back to the Titans tower continued in the car and fourth argument between the two.
Once back inside the tower robin was out down on a kitchen chair and had one hand cuffed to it. The chair was one of the few bolted to the floor.

"See, this is exactly why I left you the first time!" Robin yelled. Standing up. He couldn't move far from the chair however.

"Robin sit down. It's okay dude you can relax." Cyborg told him. Robin had always been relaxed when sitting. He was rarely ever standing at the tower. Now however now...... he could not seem to sit too long. It unnerved him.

"No." Robin bit out.

"But your always relaxed when your sitting. Especially in the kitchen!" Bb pointed out.

"No. I'm not. I can't be relaxed sitting still, I have to be up and moving. You can't stay in one spot to long." Robin ranted.

"Dude what did slade to to him!?" Beast boy
whispered to raven.

She just shook her head. "I don't know. He won't let me in his head." She said trying again.

"Stop that! Get out of mind!" Robin yelled pushing her out and knocking the purple cloaked girl over.
