FudoTwin17: Okay, this is one of my last stories for a while. I hope you like it!

Cat: Of course they'll like it. Otherwise, they won't review.

FudoTwin17: Yeah . . . .

Dog # 1: Hope you guys got the message, because the last time she got flamed, she started crying. Which is bad.

FudoTwin17: . . . .

Cat: She didn't want you to say that.

Dog # 1: Oops. Uh, she doesn't own Young Justice or Teen Titans.

Chapter 1

Robin woke painfully, almost smiling in relief when he realized he was awake. He whipped the sweat from his face. A nightmare was a nightmare. He was the boy wonder. There was no reason he should be affected. It was nothing. At all.

So why was he acting like this?

"Mommy! Daddy! Wake up! W-wake up! Aunt Lis-sa . . . . Un-uncle . . . . Don't leave me!"

He growled. Why did all superheroes have to have a troubled past? Why did he have a troubled past? He sighed.

The alarm went off. He growled, glancing at the clock. Two a.m. Evil didn't sleep, meaning he couldn't afford to.

He was in the main room of Titans Tower in an instant, "What's going on?"

"Trouble at a local circus." Cyborg replied, sitting at the computer.

The hairs on the back of Robin's neck prickled. A circus. Of course. He wished he could just go back to bed. Leave it for someone else to do, but he knew that wouldn't happen. A hero put their life on the line for other people every day. Why wouldn't he put his sanity out there too? No one caught his pause.

"Titans, go!"

. . .

"Dude, it's creepy. Can we get the bad guy and get out of here already?" Beast Boy complained as he walked closely behind the rest of the group.

"Yes, it is most unpleasant." Starfire said as she jumped closer to Robin when a family of rats made strange noises as she passed.

"How are you not freaked out by this place?" Cyborg asked.

"Practice."

Raven rose an eyebrow. Sometimes, he even made her hairs stand on end.

But Robin actually had to agree with him. It was dark and gloomy, not to mention cold, unlike his home-well, origonal home. The balance beams were rusted and the tent itself was a bit holey. Robin's eyes narrowed. It wasn't right, that he knew. He glanced up unwillingly at what once was a trapeze net. Too bad his parents didn't . . . .

"This place is a local circus?" Beast Boy asked. "It doesn't look like it's been inhabited in years."

"He's right." Raven agreed.

"Yeah."

Something caught his eye. Something, or one, was in the net. His heart skipped a beat when a liquid slapped the ground below it.

He pursed his lips. He knew how to keep from contaminating a crime scene, and if it were really a body, he didn't want his team to see it. They hadn't seen as much as he had. He didn't want it to affect them. It would be too much for them.

"I'm going to check something out. Watch my back."

"Why?" Beast Boy asked.

Because I don't want you up there. "Because something could still be here, and I don't intend on leaving any of us unguarded."

Beast Boy shut his mouth. That was rare, but it was a good change. For the moment, anyways.

Robin glanced up at the rusty beam and shot his birdarang. Immediately, the rope he had held on to pulled him up. The Teen Titans watched as he disappeared into the shadows.

"He seems on edge." Cyborg muttered, unhappy that he was being left down in the dust.

"Who isn't?" Raven asked as she moved away from a rat trotting where her foot had just been.

He shrugged. That was good enough for him.

They stared up at Robin, unaware of the horrors of what would come next.

FudoTwin17: That sucked. I won't blame you if you don't like it, because that really hurt.

Dog # 1; Please review nicely.

Cat: Bye!
