Disclaimer. I don't own Teen Titans. But I wish I did.

Summery. I thought the ending to Apprentice was weak so I tweaked it a bit. Meet the darker half of Robin. Dark Robin.

Chapter one Freedom

Things were very bad. The Titans were infected with nanoscopic probes and were dying. Slade was controlling Robin and he was still his apprentice. But the worst thing of all was this splitting headache Robin had that was getting louder and stronger in his head.

"Attack Robin. It's the only way to stop their pain." Whispered Slade.

Robin started to run to the machine that controlled the probes when halfway there something strange happened. "Ahhh!" he screamed clutching his head. Everyone watched him as he started shouting. "No go away you can't have control." "Yes I can!" Shouted a second darker voice.

Robin stood up and faced the Titans. His eyes were glowing red. His smile was evil. Suddenly he launched himself at the Titans and begin attacking them viscously. "You can stop hurting now. I'm in control now." Robin said

Slade stopped the probes attack out of surprise. What was going on? His apprentice was acting strangely. First the eyes, now his voice was laced with evil in it.

"Robin what wrong with you?" Starfire asked weakly. She was drained from the probes attack. She stared at her best friend. Something wasn't right.

" I must thank you and the Titans for freeing me. I've been stuck so long in Robin's head that I thought I never get out. But now I'm out and free. By the way my name is Dark Robin. I'm your Robins evil side. The side he never expressed. Since you freed me I'll let you live but don't try to follow me." He told her coldly

He turned to leave when Beastboy attacked as a leopard. Right before his paws could touch him he spun around and shot him with heat beams coming out of his eyes. Beastboy collapsed in pain.

"Cool. I didn't think that trick would work in the real world. Well bye." Dark Robin said. He threw down a smokescreen ball. In a few seconds Slade and him were gone and the Titans were left alone.

"Okay I know its usually BB who's slow on the uptake but what just happened here?" asked Cyborg.

"It would seem Robins darker half has decided to take a life of its on. I also fear if we don't do something Robin will be lost to us." Raven told them all.

Staring dejectedly at the place there leader and friend last stood they got up took the probe machine and walked home.

They got rid of the probes but it was a hollow victory without Robin. All they could do was stare sadly out of the window wondering where their Robin was and if he was okay.
