Chapter 11
Robin moaned as he came to. Once his eyes were used to the dim light, he was able to see around his encasement. Bars and the stonewalls were the only thing keeping him in. That, and he had no weapons save for his bo staff that he kept tucked away in his boot. Upon further inspection, he could see Starfire across the hall from him and Terra to the other side of her.
Glancing around and making sure there was no guards nearby, he proceeded in whispering. “Star!”
He watched as Starfire moaned and sat up, blinking a few times to clear her vision. “Robin?” she asked, slightly puzzled. Memories came rushing back of the man who had struck her. “Robin!”
“Shh!” he hissed at her loud voice. Immediately she covered her mouth. “Terra.” Robin said, seeing if the other Titan was awake.
“Yeah?” seemingly she was.
“Do you see Hawk?” he asked.
She nodded. “He’s next to you but it looks like he’s still out cold. Do you want me to try and wake him?”
Robin nodded and turned back to Starfire who was trying to melt through the bars with no such luck. “It seems that they are made out of a strong metal. I cannot break through.”
Robin nodded and sat next to the bars. He tapped them slightly, they seemed to have no faults or weak spots anywhere. In the next stall over, Terra had accomplished waking Hawk.
“It’s made of a strong steel alloy that cannot be melted except by extreme temperatures.” he informed them.
“Great. Just great. Now what do we do?” Robin said bitterly, racking his mind for some way to get out of this.
“You could always use the keys.” Came a small voice from beside him. He looked over, startled and his eyes widened.

Alenar backed away from the giant beast that loomed over him. In the small imprisonment, there wasn’t much room to run. Being brave, or stupid as Raven thought, he stood up to the beast.
“You don’t scare me!” he said in a loud voice. He summoned his powers, given to him by Trigon, and cast the beast back against the already crumbled wall.
Beast boy stood up and shook his head before returning his glare to Alenar. Charging, he was able to catch Alenar off guard by his speed and send him through the closed door.
“Garfield!” Raven called as he chased Alenar down the hallway and out of view. A howl rang through the air and she struggled against the chains but to no avail. She hopped, for Beast boys sake, that he did not kill Alenar. She did not know what would happen if he did.

“Midnight?” Robin asked, surprised. “How did you get in here?”
She smiled and levitated slightly to reach the lock. She held the keys in her hands and unlocked Robins cell. When he got out, he proceeded to unlock the others while she explained.
“I knew daddy wouldn’t let me stay so when I hugged Aunt Star goodbye, I attached this,” she took a small device off of Starfire’s outfit. “To her. So that way I could find you guys.”
Robin stared at her for a moment longer before hugging the small girl. “Your awesome, you know that?” he asked, rubbing her head.
Midnight smiled but that smile faded as an earsplitting roar came from every direction.
“BB.” Robin muttered.
“Where did it come from?” Hawk asked, looking up and down the hallway.
“That way.” midnight pointed to the opposite direction that she had come from.
“Are you sure?” Robin asked.
She nodded and tapped her ears. “It hurt but I could tell where it came from.”
He nodded and led the others the way she had pointed. Starfire hovered alongside Midnight as they flew down the corridor.
~*~
‘He hurt your mate. Kill him!’ a dark and chilling voice echoed in Beast boy’s mind.
‘No! I can’t kill another person! it’s against what I believe!’ He argued back.
‘So your going to let the man that got his lips and hands all over your mate get away with it?’ The beast inside of him asked.
‘No! I’ll get him, but I won’t kill him!’
‘Just severely hurt him.’ The voice responded.
Beast boy said nothing. It was true, he wished to inflict pain on the man that dared do that to his Raven. However, he knew that he must remain in control if he wished to do so without killing the man. Alenar had disappeared from view but his animal instincts took over, leading him to his prey.

Raven saw the group run past her door. “Wait!” she called out. They stopped and when Midnight saw her mother, she rushed into her arms.
“Mommy!”
Raven was tackled by her daughter. “What are you doing here?! If your father let you come with him I am going to kick his..”
“He didn’t.” Robin interrupted. “She followed using a tracking device she planted on Star.”
Raven gawked at her daughter for a moment. “You little bug! Is that how you always knew when I was coming?”
Midnight grinned and nodded. She pulled out the set of keys from earlier and after trying a few times, successfully removed the clinks from her mother’s wrists.
Raven rubbed her wrist for a few seconds before wrapping her arms tightly around her daughter. “I’m so glad your alright.” she whispered.
“I don’t mean to break up the party.” Terra said as another howl rang through the air. “But that, needs to be taken care of.”
“We have to get to Gar.” Raven said, standing up. Her daughter clutched to her leg.
“That’s daddy?” she whispered, almost terrified.
Raven nodded. “Keep back with Star alright sweety?” She glanced at Starfire who nodded then to Midnight who also nodded.
“Lets go!” Robin yelled as he ran down the hallway with the others close behind.
~*~
‘Kill!’
‘Shut up!’ beast boy screamed in his head. He neared Alenar as they entered a garden like area and struck the man at the back of his head and sent him flying into a stonewall that outlined the area. Alenar struggled to his feet and sent blots of lightning blue energy at beast boy. They struck him in the chest and he stumbled back a few feet and failed to regain balance before he was slammed by another barrage of energy bolts.
‘I can’t let him win!’ Beast boy thought as adrenalin rushed through his veins and allowed him to spring back up and ramming his shoulder into the gut of Alenar.
Alenar fell to the ground and Beast boy stood above him. His eyes glowing with malice and hatred for the man beneath him. He forgot about the oath he took that said never to take a life, never hurt someone to the extent of them dying in pain and agony. All of these thoughts went out of his mind as he raised a clawed hand to strike the man below.
~*~
Raven and the others ran to the courtyard where Beast boy was sent flying back onto the ground and pelted with more bolts. They didn’t seem to phase him as he bounced back up and rammed back into Alenar. He poised to make the final strike and end the mans life.
Midnight hid her face in Starfire’s leg as the hand came down, afraid of the outcome.
“Garfield!”
Robin moaned as he came to. Once his eyes were used to the dim light, he was able to see around his encasement. Bars and the stonewalls were the only thing keeping him in.
