Trust... [A Robin Love Story]

Chapter 26: The Next...

Author's P.O.V

While Krystal was still unconscious, the Titans continued the restoration of the city and things went back to normal. They made sure that she was in stable condition before taking off the things attached to her and letting her rest in her old room. That day, Starfire was watching over her quietly and she looked at the pictures that were hanging on the walls. Starfire was slowly but surely trying to forget the things that went down between her and Robin.

While Starfire absentmindedly turned her back towards Krystal, Krystal sat up in her bed. Her head was throbbing and her veins ached. She slowly moved her head to look out the window, unable to process anything that was going on around her. She didn't know what happened. She didn't know where she was or what she had to do, she was completely blank. Her eyes had lost her clearness and became just as cloudy as her brain was.

"Krystal!! Thank Forblrog you are alright!" She said as she happily ran over to her bedside, which scared Krystal from her lack of understanding of personal space. Still, Starfire wrapped her arms around her tight and rubber her face lovingly against her cheek to show her affection. Krystal pushed her off in fear as her heart started thumping in anxiety. She still didn't know who Starfire was and she was scared, she didn't know anything or have anything to defend herself with.

"I think it's best to leave her alone for now, Starfire." Raven said coming from the door as she put her arms on Starfire's shoulders to pull her out of the room. Krystal was backed up against the wall in a fetal position trembling for her life. She was trapped in a room with people she didn't know.

Raven and Starfire left, shortly after, Cyborg came to pay her a visit. She saw him through her hair that was draped over her face, she still hadn't moved from where she was after Starfire and Raven left. Cyborg walked toward her but she whimpered and tried to back her self up more against the wall.

"No, no, it's okay. I just came to give you some cinnamon tea with honey. It's your favorite." He said as he walked slowly towards her. He set the drink down and turned the handle towards her as he knelt down a couple of feat away from her. She was still scared and her gaze switched from the cup to him and vice versa. He sighed and took the mug.

"It's not poisoned don't worry. Sorry for drinking from your mug but I'll show you that it's safe to drink." He said as he took a sip from the mug. He smiled at her then put it back where it was. She let out a shaky hand and ever so carefully touched the mug. The radiating heat gave comfort to her icy cold hands. She gave in and slowly picked up the mug. With that, Cyborg slowly sat a little more comfortably on the floor. She held the mug with both her hands then touched her lips to the mug to take a sip. She suddenly retracted from pain.

"Whoops, careful. It's still hot." He said. She blushed from embarrassment then started to blow lightly at the tea before taking another sip.

"Alright, now that you've calmed down, do you remember who you are?" He asked her.

"Krystal..." She mumbled.

"Do you know who I am or where you are?" He asked her.

"No..." She said, scared that he might do something to her if he didn't know.

"I see. Well, you're at the Titan's tower and you've been staying here for the past week." he explained calmly.

"My... Dad...?" She asked, almost unsure at first.

"I'm surprised you remember. We haven't been able to locate the body but he's been presumed dead." he said. She had no reaction, she didn't know what to feel. She thought that it seemed too far-fetched to be true. She wasn't happy, but she wasn't necessarily sad about it either. She just really didn't know what she truly felt about it. He saw her indecision and wanted to leave her with her thoughts.

"You hungry? I can whip you up some food. Any requests?" He asked as he stood up. She shook her head in response. He sighed and picked her up which shocked her and he carried her over to lay on her bed.

"You'll catch a cold staying on the floor like that. Keep yourself warm." He said as he put the blankets over her. He picked up her mug and pit it on her night stand and he left the room with out saying another word.

"How is she?" Robin asked Cyborg after the door closed. He was leaning against the wall, trying not to show Cyborg any emotions.

"Why don't you go in and check? I have to make some grub." he said.

"You know I can't do that!! Why don't you just tell me how she's doing-"

"She has retrograde amnesia, she didn't even remember who I was or where she's at. I doubt she'll be able to remember you. Sorry bro." he said as he walked down the hall. Robin grunted in frustration as he leaned against the wall. He let his legs slide until he was sitting helplessly on the floor in defeat. He ran a hand through his hair and hung his head.

"What's my next move...?"
