A/N: As you all may have heard, I have been severely struggling in finding inspiration for Teen Titans fics, but I don't want to leave this fandom just yet, so I'm trying my best at writing whatever comes to me. This somehow happened, and I can't be more thankful for it, before now I was convinced that I'd never be able to write about Teen Titans ever again ever since I got into Red vs. Blue, which is a really great webshow that I absolutely love. Updates on this are unknown, but I'll try to make them fast. Ages are as follows:

Robin = 16

Beast Boy = 14

Raven = 16

Cyborg = 17

Starfire = 16

~Why Are You Scared?~

The first scream Robin heard as he awoke freaked him out to no end. That wasn't normal, if there was danger, the alarms would've woken him up, not a scream. He sat up, fully awake as the second scream came, allowing him to registered who had made the almost nonhuman sound. Cyborg. He hopped out of bed, clicking his utility belt on in seconds before grabbing his Bo-staff. He examined himself as he held the doorknob in his sweaty palm. He was under dressed, no shirt on, his mask barely sticking thanks to a lack of the glue he used for his masks, his tights were replaced with pajama pants and his hair was un-spiked and all over the place with his crazy bedhead.

He shook it off, no, he had no time to be worried about looking professional. If a villain broke into his tower, his home, he wasn't about to waste time getting dressed when he needed to protect his friends, who he considered the only family he had left in the world. He slowly opened his door, looking down the hallway both ways before he froze, staring at the horrifying mess on the floor. He covered his mouth to muffle his weak cry at the sight, he almost vomited even. It was some kind of creatures remains, no, it was Silkies remains. The worm was laying on its back, with purple colored blood and guts stringing from a gash in its tiny stomach that had hints of a burn on its edges.

The Boy Wonder held back his need to mourn for Silkie, after all, he had loved the creature despite it being a worm and loved it like one would love a pet dog or cat. He tiptoed into the hallway, breathing heavily as he tried to keep his mind in check. He needed to keep it together, he was Robin for gods sake, and had seen far worse in his life had seen far worse in Gotham. He looked around as he reached the living room, where the evidence of a struggle was vast and unorganized. The couch was turned over with tons of shreds peeled off the fabric, looking to be Silkies work by no doubts. Already there were signs of the worms blood, meaning someone had left Silkies body in front of Robin's door as a warning.

"Whoever you are, that won't work on me." Robin whispered to himself as he gazed upon the room, seeing other evidence of someone other than Silkies struggle.

There were sonic canon soot marks adorning the walls, as well as the hints of a dying glow of green fire from Starfire's starbolts. Good, Starfire might still be ali- no, nobody but Silkie should be dead. Robin slowly went further into the room, but let out a loud yelp as someone grabbed his ankle and pulled him behind the turned over couch, Robin rubbed his ankle before he gazed up, surprised at the sight. It was Raven and Beast Boy, who both looked badly bruised and beaten. Beast Boy looked terrified, but was surprisingly keeping a leveled head in this mess, while Raven looked shocked as all Hell, but still staying calm.

"Thank God you two are alive." Robin said with a lazy smile, the first one he had worn all day. "You have no idea how freaked out I was when I heard that scream earlier. Where are Cyborg and Starfire?"

Beast Boy cringed at the mentioning of Starfire while Raven looked away, Robin paled. No, no no no! Anyone but Starfire! Not her, she had been too innocent, too beautiful, too graceful, to perish at the hands of some unknown monster who would dare murder an innocent animal and attack a group of sleeping teenagers. They were only kids for gods sake and someone had the audacity to try and harm them while asleep, no one that Robin knew from Jump City, not even Slade, had that level of disrespect for the hero code. He gazed at his remaining friends, looking for an answer, any answer, to calm his terrified mind.

"Please... tell me Starfire is okay..." Robin asked, voice barely on the edge between begging and terrified.

Raven sighed, giving Robin a long look. "She's fine, but... Robin, this will be hard for you to understand, even I'm struggling with the truth right not, but you have to believe me when I say that Starfire is the one who killed Silkie and Cyborg... I'm so sorry."

It was no secret to Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg that Robin had been in love with Starfire, heck, no one who was anyone could ignore the fond looks and long glances that Robin and Starfire shared together. but Raven knew, oh god she knew, that this realization of Starfire becoming a murderer, would hurt Robin like nothing else. She had seen his past, his pain, and knew about every lose he had suffered through. To be honest, at this point in her life, Raven really wasn't sure if Robin's mind, spirit and body were quite capable of handling another loss like this. It was quiet for awhile as it snuck in, before Robin relaxed, giving Raven a long look.

"You're totally joking, right? This is everyone trying to get tight ass Robin to freakout and look like an idiot, right? So, what'd you all use to make Silkies body parts, joke toys, maybe a few buckets of purple paint?" Robin questioned, looking a bit angry even. "I have to say, I'm a bit impressed, you guys really out did yourselves this time. But how on earth would I have slept through a fight this bad without hearing anything for this long?"

Raven and Beast Boy gave each other a long look. "Denial." Beast Boy said flatly. "He's denying the truth, I told you that using a spell to knock him out and locking his door was a bad idea."

Raven didn't seem to agree with Beast Boy. "You really think he could've handled seeing Silkie ripped to pieces like that? No, we just need to stop Star before she-"

"Robin... Robin... come out little birdie..." A sing song voice that the Titans recognized as Starfire chirp as the owner of the melody walked ever closer.

"Why isn't she flying?" Beast Boy whispered, staring at Raven with true fear in his emerald eyes.

Raven sighed. "I'm not sure, Gar. I think she's toying with us still. Damn, she must have seen Robin's open door by now. I hoped we'd have more time, guess our plans falling apart." She muttered, glaring at the hallway entrance that Robin had entered through earlier before ducking back down to face Beast Boy. "We'll ambush her, actually, you watch Robin while I go, he won't be able to handle this."

"I'll have you know, I'm sixteen, I can handle this." Robin assured them. "I get it, okay? This isn't completely a joke, but who's really killing people? And don't you dare say Starfire, that girl wouldn't hurt a fly unless it threatened us."

Beast Boy shook his head. "Dude, you can't do anything right now, we'll lay low until Raven teleports us outta here. Once we find the JL, we'll get some help taking Star out. It'll be okay, trust us."

Robin gave Beast Boy a long look, standing up with a scowl on his lips. "I can do this, I'm not a little kid anymore. You two stay here, I'll take care of whoevers killing my friends." He said, grabbing his Bo-staff before leaving the room.

He would live to regret that moment for the rest of his life.

~Why Are You Scared?~

Minutes turned to a half hour of searching before Robin found the results of Cyborg's murder, and this time, he had to let out a loud cry of disgust and shock. Blood and gore dripped out of the T-car like a faucet, meaning that the death was recent and dragged out. There were scorch marks from Starfire- no, someone elses fireballs- or something like that. The bird looked around carefully as he felt the nerves inside of him beg for the hero to leave, run like all Hell had broken loose and never look back. Robin repressed the urge, opening the car door anyways.

Dear God, it was too much, almost too much for the teenager to comprehend.

Blood the color of bright red and dark red stained everything inside of the car, including a red hand print that sprayed upon the desktop. Guts were crammed forcefully into the disk holder and the glove box, dripping their inner workings onto the leather on the passenger seat and all throughout the flooring of the vehicle. Circuits and broken bones were flayed out like toys on a child's bedroom floor, with bits of flesh still attached to the bone. It was truly horrifying to look at. After a few seconds, Robin found Cyborg's head, clobbered and broken in the backseat of the car.

Robin looked away as he slammed closed the car door, doubling over as he vomited violently onto the flooring of the large and expansive garage. He was so damn scared, this monster meant business, it killed the teams dog and older brother like friend. Who else would suffer such an alarming and violent death at the hands of a creature Robin had yet to even SEE!? He wiped his mouth off with a soft groan, glaring at the concrete ground as he readied his Bo-staff. This monster, it was going down, and Robin was going to make it fucking pay. Pay for entering his domain, for killing his pet, for murdering his friend, for kidnapping the love of his life. They would pay dearly for Robin's losses.

"Come out here you sick, son of a bitch!" Robin screamed, glaring around as he held his Bo-staff at the ready.

They took her, they took your best friend/secret crush don't let them get away with this, they took away Starfire. Show them who you are, you are not JUST the protege of the Batman, you are Robin, the last Flying Grayson. You are what you have defined yourself to be, strong, committed, unbreakable. Shred them to bits, like they did to Silkie.

Robin heard a noise, like a laugh. Without a second thought, he ran forward, Bo-staff swinging as he screamed out a battle cry like no other.

Break them, break them like they broke Cyborg.

Robin swung his Bo-staff, not caring if it hit or not, just wanting to let himself go as he closed his eyes.

Hurt them, hurt them like the demons they are!

Everything seemed to gel as Robin finally fell, dropping to the ground on his hands and knees as he breathed, trying to catch what little breath he could swallow before he could even think. The boy opened his masked eyes, looking around like a confused child as he sought out his opponent. Nothing. He looked to his hands, where his Bo-staff should be. Nothing. He looked to the ceiling, looking for answers. Blood. So. Much. Blood.

The hero stared, eyes unable to move until he heard her voice. Her sweet, sweet voice, whisper in his ear. It was a question, one Robin knew all the answers to but no results for.

"Why are you scared?"
